Death of r. II. Sonntag.

Died at Denmark, 8. c., November
Goth, 1905, Rudolph Herman sonntag, in
the ssth year of his age. He was honor
ed and beloved for his devotion and gem
tie sympathy, and for the great nobility
of his nature and great cheerfulness OF
temperament, He was universally popu-
lar. His unselishness was remarkable,
indeed it can almost be said that he laid
down his very life for his friends, In that
his small care for self and his unfailing
zeal and interest in the welfare Of others
resulted in his physical breakdown,
which the most skilful medical treatment
could not restore. He was gentleman
of broad charity. His loss is deeply de-
plored. A mother, two sisters, and three
brothers mourn a devoted son and
brother. BROTHER.

afternoon, when there was a lively little
scrap between two well known attorneys.

when his attorney, Mr.. V. E. DePsss,
sharply demanded that Mr.. ]. H.. Ham

IS NOT DAN MURPHY.
And Yet Prisoner in Jail at Swainsboro A.
tempted Suicide.

It appears that Dan c. Murphy is not
in Jail at Swainsboro, Ga, after all-and
perhaps is in the Philippines, according
to the story which reached Columbia last
summer. Once to see Murphy would be
to remember him always.
Sergeant C. G. Roberts of the peniten-
tiary guard went over to Swainsboro
Monday. Upon seeing the prisoner yes
terday he wired, Suspect is not Murphy.
Peculiar case. The man attempted sui
eide when he was told that an official
from South Carolina would come to
identify him."
The chief Of police of Augusta wrote
with such confidence that it was believed
that this really might have been Murphy,
but Chief Norris evidently was misin-
formed. Columbia State.

Kirkland, of Georgia, was bound over on
Monday last before Magistrate Walker
for violation of the immigrant law.
hog killing is the order of the day now
in this section. Mr.. A.. D. Pearson killed
seventeen months old hog On Monday

is an up-to.date hog raiser and farmer.
The farmers here who have been hold
ing cotton are wearing bright faces now
with the price at II cents the pound, and
still some say they are not ready to sell.
Farmers, do not let the high prices fool
you to loverdo the thing another year.
You are masters of the situation now,
and by all means remain 80. The cotton
swindlers and sharks have had their day,
and now is your time. Stand by the cot
ton growers association, and above all
things do not let politics slip into it.
Our little city is still on the up grade.
We are to have an ice factory here next
year. The lumber is now being put on
the lot, and Contractor Hope is in charge
of the building. This enterprise is q
home industry, and should be patronized
by all. Let the good work 60 on.
We are sadly in need of more cottages
here, as every available house is occupied
and still applications pour in. A good
cotton factory is much needed here,
which will be great benefit to our trade
and town.

A COLLISION AT AIKEN.
Three Runaway Freight Cars Run Into a Pull
man Sleeper.

AIKEN, 8. c., December 5.-A serious
collision occurred early yesterday morn
ing at the passenger station in this city,
between three runaway freight cars and
passenger train, which came near cost
ing the lives of the occupants OF the
Pullman car ON the rear end OF the pas
senger train. A local freight between
Blackville and Augusta had just come
in and was shifting as the train from
Augusta, which arrives here at 7.35 a. M,
was coming in. The passenger backed
up to the depot as usual and was stand
ing by the shed. On the rear end OF the
freight train was three cars of bricks. The
freight was backing in the direction OF
the passenger, when all of a sudden 1t
stopped. The heavily loaded brick cars
broke away and on slight down grade
ran into the Pullman car. The Pullman
was knocked from the track and hit the
side of the shed which prevented it fall
ing sidewise and forced it back on the
track. One of the brick cars was knock
ed from the track, being turned over.
The overturned car prevented the freight
engine from passing and had to be
emptied before it could be moved. This
delayed the freight some time. The
Pullman car was broken by the blow, but
was able to continue the trip.

LARGER CROP WORTH LESS
That of 1904 Is Greater Than 1903 Yield, But Its Value Is the
 Reverse.

Measured in dollars. the 12000.00t bales of the 1904 cotton crop are worth less than the lO.Oo0.0O0 bales of the 19o: crop. says the New York World. The difference in total value Is enormous A pound of raw cotton which last Febru. ary sold for 17 cents is worth only eight cents now.
 Cotton is selling al $40 bale now. a: compared with s7o to s15 year ago. Al that rate the total value of the 1904 cror will be less than $500 000. 900. while tho 1909 crop sold for over s100. .O00. 600.

THE FRENCH IDEA OF IT.
Information Regarding Our Nationa Celebrities Takes Funny Form
 Over There.

Not long ago there appeared in a pa amusing account of the life and exploits of Col Bryan that no doubt the Nebras kan fully enjoyed if he saw the story The story was written by the Paris cor based, so the writer says. on informa tion he got from friends of MT. Bryan who are prominent In Paris
 A western wag filled the FrenchmaD with startling information, and how he must have smiled when there appeared the following in cold print:
 M. Le Colonel Bryan first came into fame as one of the strange, halfsavage band of cowboys who roamed over the far west. fighting the Indians and wild beasts. Initiating, perhaps, the custom of the Indian chiefs, each of the cow boys bore nickname based on some oi his exploits as hunter and fighter
 Thus M. Le Colonel Bryan's title among his rough but brave and sturdy comrades was Silver Bill the Dead Shot After the treaty of peace was signed with the Indians at Chicago in 1S9t Colonel Bryan went out of the cattle business and became one of the bonanza farmers of the west. He can now sit on his back stoop. as the rear veranda is called in America. and look over his fields of corn stretching farther than the eye can reach in every direction.
 "As result of his early training on the plains, where he spent many months rat time without an opportunity of talking to another human being. the former candidate for president Is ex- tremely taciturn, and can hardly be per suaded to express his opinion on the is. sues of campaign. He is the author of book of adventure called The First Battle, in which some of his encounters with the Indians of the Tammany and other tribes are described at length.
 Tn the effort to neutraliZe the strength of Nj. Le Colonel Bryan among the cowboys and Indians who make up the largest part of the voting popula- tion west of the Alleghany mountains, the republicans have Nj. Le Roosevelt for president. NJ. Le Roosevelt is one of the leading cowboys of America. and is especially famous for once having vanquished grizzly bear in single con- bat.
 During the last campaign NJ. T.e Colonel Roosevelt has ridden a series of horses all over the country. giving seen In Paris year or more ago under the direction of another American statesman"
