pal improvements.

BRAScHv1LLE, August 2.-The county
campaign meeting was held here in the
town hall. Each speaker, even if asking
for the humblest Office, was given the
closest attention. There was no back
biting or mud singing as in former years,
but every candidate was seeking the Office
on his own merits.
Hon. A. F. Lever, congressman from
this district, gave an account of his stew
ardship and in doing so urged upon the
Democratic voters the Importance OF 60
ing to the polls on general election day
and casting their ballots for the Demo
cratic candidate, so as to avoid repeti-
ton of another white-negro contest. The
only disturbance was on the outside,
caused by a chase for twentieth century
negro with pistol in one hand and gun
in another, who attempted few nights
ago to murder a white man at CordoVa.
He was finally apprehended and placed
in the lookup.
In the afternoon there was an interest
ing game of baseball between Orange
burg and the home team. The fans were
out in large numbers, both teams having
an enthusiastic band of rooters. The re-
suit of the score was Branchville d. and
Orangeburg 8. This makes three sue
cessi7e victories for the local team, they
having won two games from Bamberg
last week The batteries were: Branch
vile, Fairey and Pearlstine; Orangeburg;
Sorentrue and Sorentrue.
The town authorities are expending
large sums of money in improving the
general appearance and condition OF
the town. Terra Gotta piping is supplant-
ing the old open bitches and now with a
good sewerage system and every house
hold having deep artesian water the health
of the town is in excellent condition,
malarial fever being practically unknown.
Crops in this section are in excellent
condition, and if the weather continues
favorable this month the farmers and all
concerned will be conGented, provided
they obtain a fair muneration for their
products.
This town is on building boom. Many
comfortable dwellings are being erected
so as to meet the demands of an eyer in
creasing population
Work on the handsome new Methodist
church is progressing slowly and the
members of this congregation will not be
able to worship in their new ediflce as
early as expected.

VALUE OF FARM MACHINERY.
Has Added Immensely to the wealth
of the Nation

Farm machinery may some time dc
work for us that will be worth $1,000
100000 a year, says Worlds Work,
Theoretically it is already saving us
nearly three-quarterS of that sum, for
as far back as 1893, if all the crops
to which machinery is adapted could
have been planted and gathered by
hand, they would have cost nearly
500 5000 more than if they had
all been planted and gathered by ma
chnery. 1t has not only added SO
much to our wealth, but it has made
us the foremost exporting nation, and
it is changing the character of the
farmer by freeing him from monoton-
Gus hand toll. More than that, it is
fast changing the immemorial concep-
ton of agriculture and the pastoral
and idyllic associations that have gath
cred about it since the time of Abra
ham. Wealth, industry, commerce,
the character of men and even their
sentiment are all affected by it.
Yet so sudden have been these
changes that we have yet hardly
caught their meaning. The cradle
scythe is only a little more than cen
fury old, and the cast-iron plOw was
first used even later than the cradle
scythe. In ether words, a century ago
agricultural machinery was almost as
primitive as it was a thousand years
ago. Now we have steam plows, com
bined harvesters and threshers and
auto-mowers. They have come into
use SO recently that only small part
of the population have ever seen them
at work. Yet they are changing our
merce to poetry.
