General kuropatlSin Is Hiking for

Full Retreat.
The News Dispatches Were Very
Scarce Today Because Of
the Change.

The dearth Of official adyices from
either Toxic or St. Petersburg and the
absence of press reports of current date
from the battlefield renders the situa-
tion Of General Kuropatkin's retreating
army somewhat obscure. An Associated
Press correspondent sends private dis
patch that the censor's Office has been
removed from Mukden to Harbin, which
accounts for the delay in the press dis
patches.

a perpeD dicular Iine from the MIDDLE
of each side to the middle point Of
the opposite side. This viii! give
eight divisions in the shape Of right
angle triangles, and at the point OF
intersection in the centre of the Tract
the homes will be built.
In this way the colonists OF each
of the sections of 800 acres will be
near neighbors and will form little
community of eight families. By
dividing the section into squares and
by locating the homes in the centre
of these 40 acre squares the colonists
would not be near each other, and
for convenience for school purposes
and for other reasons the triangular
division is regarded as the very best
way to locate the homes.
The tract will not be built up by
the colonization company and rented
cut, but the immigrants, principally
Scandinavians, many of whom can
speak English and want to move
from the northwest to escape the
rigors of winters on the prairies, will
buy their homesteads on easy terms
and will begin to improve the prop
erty at once.
The agent whom Mr.. Watson has
interested in these improvements is
one whom be met on his trip to New
York shortly after the bureau was
established. MIR. Watson at that
time gave the State such favorable
advertisement at the metropolis that
the eyes of the colonization compan-
les we're turned this way, and this
is the fruition of plans that have
been maturing for weeks.

r. 2. .. Notes.

Have you heard the story of the
nigger in the wood pile? Well, this
is not it, this is the story OF the mig
ger in the dining room.
Oa last Saturday morning just be-
fore day, Mr.. Jonah Hayes was sud-
denly awakened by his wife, who
said: "Jonah, somebody is in the
dining room" Aud sure enough
when Jonah looked, there stood a
man. The aforesaid man lit out at
the door, followed by Jonah, gun in
hand. But the negro was no where
to be seen. As Jonah started back
in the house, his wife, woman like,
said: "Look under the house." He
looked, and sure enough, there was
the nigger.
At the command he came out and
was tied and carried to Lexington,
from which place we expect to hear
more of him later.
The negro gave his name as Abra-
ham Lincoln Sheppard.
He must have been in the dining
room for several hours before ne was
discovered, as he had deliberately
lit the lamp, built fire in the stove,
cooked his breakfast and ate it, be.
fore his presence was known. After
breakfast large melon served him
as fine desert. He also approp-
rated unto himself pair of Jonah's
shoes and socks.
We've often heard of men doing
things with a face on, but if this is
not doing things with a face on III
pay for tie cups which the negro
broke while drinking his coffee.
Jonah did the manly thing by not
shooting the negro, as has been done
heretofore.
Cotton is opening up nicely and
the farmers are busy.
And now the candidate waits with
humping heart and bated breath
and feels very much like the man
who receives a telegram when he is
expecting bad news. Well, some OF
you will have to run over and some
will get run over.
The barbecue at Gilbert was not
80 largely attended as heretofore
Everything passed off quietly and
the day was much enjoyed by all.
But very few people from here
took advantage of the cheap rates to
Augusta Saturday.
Mr.. Tsllie Sem is teaching sing
ing school here which is being we'll
attended. Klondlke.

10000 Acres Sold.

Columbia State, August 80.
The work of bringing colonists to
South Carolins has been launched.
Last night papers were signed and
delivered to an agent who will pro-
ceed at once to populate and to build
up 10000 acres of land in Lexington
county which have never been under
cultivation. The amount involved in
the transaction is something like
l25,0OO.
The agent of this colonization con-
pany prefers for very good reasons
that his name should not be used,
but it is enough to say that be has
been one of the greatest promoters
of the upbuilding Of the great north
west, that be is carried away in his
enthu siasm over the prospects here
lNsnd that before the end of the week
he may purchase $4,000 acres ad-
ditional for the purpose of bringing
to South Carolina sturdy Scandi-
navian settlers who will engage in
agricultural pursuits.
This transaction, which it is hoped
,, is but the first of the closing of half
a dozen large options, was brought
about through the commissioner of
commerce and immigration, Mr.. E
J. Watson, who will leave the city
tomorrow to perfect the arrange
ments for locating colonies in other
parts of the State. The body of land
which was sold yesterday is said to
be the very kind for truck farms, is
we'll timbered and is cut up by sew
eral water courses. The Southern's
trunk line from New York to Florida
passes through this tract and it will
be an easy matter to ship the pro-
duce raised on the farms.
The owner of the tract in Lexing-
ton county visited the northwest to
see how this matter of colonization
is conducted and he was so we'll
pleased that he closed the trade yes.
terdsy when the agent of the COM
pauy met him at the Office of Mr..
Watson. It seems to be a very sat-
isfactory arrangement all around, for
the representative from the west is
satisfied that the coionists will be
contented and will prosper here.
The manner in which homesteads
will be located is very interesting.
The tract will be divided into Sec
tions of 320 acres each with roadway
running alongside the several sec
tions. Each section will be divided
into eight triangular parts of equal
size. This will b. done by drawing
a line from each corner to the corner
