Special Judge Appointed.

Governor Hayward has appointed
Mr.. J. E. Mcdonald of Winnsboro to
hold court in Barnwell, special term
beginning the third Monday in 0eto-
Der. The act of the legislature pro-
viding for the election of two addl-
tional judges does not seem to have
abated the need for special terms.
However, it has been suggested that
the division of time in the second
circuit has not been satisfactory. In
the petition to the governor, it was
stated that on the civil jury calendar
are IS cases ready for trial. The rea-
son for the congestion is said to be
that the terms of court at Barnwell
for the last year or so have been re-
stricted to two weeks at each term,
and half of each term has been abb
sorbed by criminal business, and the
trial of civil cases before juries at the
summer term has been prohibited by
statute. The petition is signed by 10
LAWYERS and law firms of Barwell.

AN INSANE MOTHER
Drained der Seven Children and Thea
Burned Their Bodies
MANIAC THEN TOOK Her OWN LIFE
Mrs. Clarence Markham Of Cambridge
ILL.,, Survives Long Enough to Make
an Awful Confession.

Rock Island, ILL.,, Special.-Mrs.
Clarence Markham of Cambridge,
near here, in a fit Of temporary in
sanity killed her seven children with
an axe, after which she placed their
bodies on bed, saturated it with coal
oil and set fire to it. She then hack
ed her throat with knife and threw
herself on the burning bed. Neigh
bors rescued her, but she was so badly
burned that she died soon after she
had made a confession. The Oldest
child was nine years of age, the
youngest, baby in arms.
Neighbors, attracted by the smoke
Of the burning building, rushed to
tie rescue and found Mrs. Markham
covered with blood and badly burned.
Barely able to tell her story, she at
first declared the crime had been
committed by a strange man, but
later when the sheriff arrived she ad-
mitted that she had slain her children
one by one and attempted to destroy
their bodies and her own in the fire.
Soon afterward she died. When the
ruins Of the home had cooled, a con-
frmation of her stor was had in the
finding of the CHAIR d corpses, each
with its skull crushed.
The Markhams lived apart from
neighbors, the husband being en-
ployed as laborer on nearby farm.
He was compelled to be away from
home during the day. Having noted
his wife acting queerly for several
weeks he had kept the children, the
oldest of whom was but nine years Of
age, out Of school to be with the
mother. She was never known to ex-
hibit violent tendencies previously.

PALMETTO AFFAIRS
Occurrences of Interest in Various
Parts of tho State.
Want Presbyterian College.

Columbia, Special.-The desirabili-
ty Of the Presbyterian College of
South Carolina was made quite evil
dent. Five progressive towns SUBJ
mitted bids for the college to be 10
Gated in their respective communities,
and distinguished men of all creeds
and denominations pleaded for the
bids.
The trustees of the college met in
the chapel of the Columbia Thcologi-
cal seminary, and perhaps this build
ing of historic meetings never wit
messed such a gathering There :Tere
present, in addition to the members
of the board, $50 men representing all
classes and professions of men in
South Carolina.
The small chapel was crowded to
the door, and the feeling of battle was
in the air, but it was announced that
each delegation would be heard sepa-
rately. There were some good speech
es arguments so convincing
that if the board had five colleges at
its disposal it could locate each very
happily.
Clinton made surprisingly strong
shaving, and made a bold, touching
aIbeal for the retention of the college
6 the ground of moral obligation.
Bennettsville made apparently the
best financial offer-conditioned upon
woman being elected member OF
the board.
Sumter made decidedly the best
showing from a standpoint of central
location and accessibility. The Sum-
ter delegation came over on a special
train.
Chester had delegation Of strong
men present, and the Rome of South
Carolina made it evident that the col
lege is wanted there very much.
Yorkville, the first stown to make a
bid when it was learned that there
was a chance to move the college,
made fine offer for town no larger
than Yorkville.
The bids were as follows.
Bennettsville: Cash $50, ,440; site
and donation of Mrs. Beckwith, $l2, ;
600; total, $64,440.
Chester: Cash $4,000; site, $4,000;
total, $4,000.
Clinton: Cash, $4,000; donation
from Clinton College Association,
$4,000; total, $4,000.
Sumter (second bid) e.: donation $685.
600; site, $4,000; total, $4,000.
Yorkville: Cash, $1,000; site, $22,-
600; water and lights, $4,000; total,
$4,000.
& The health, accessibility, temper of
the people and the cause of Presbyte-
rianism in general were discussed by
all delegations.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROP BULLETIN
Weather Conditions Given Out by the
Department Observer.

The South Carolina section of the
climate and crop service of the De-
partment of Agriculture issues the
following official bulletin OF weather
and crop conditions for the past
week:
The week ending Monday, Septem-
Der 25th, was one of extreme heat,
with the weekly mean temperature
about six degrees per day above nor
NAL. The temperature extremes were
maximum of 9S degrees at Bates
burg and Blackville on the 10th and
minimum of 81 at Spartanburg on
the 23rd. There was very little cloud
mess in the western portion and con-
siderable in the eastern and south
eastern parts. -.
Drought continues in the central
and western counties, while the east
ern and southern counties had copi-
Gus rains on the Goth and 2lst,
amounting in many places to between
one and two inches. A few localities
had beneficial showers in the west,
but over the larger part Of that Sec
ton of the State there was no rain
or merely trace.
The weather was favorable for
gathering crops, except in few east
ern localities, and much hay was saw
ed in fine condition, and fair progress
was made in cutting and curing pea
vines. Over the larger portion of The
State the ground is too dry for plow-
ing and fall seeding operations, and
less than the usual amount Of oats,
or other grains have been sown. The
dry weather was also inimical to late
corn, fall root crops and pastures.
Over the eastern counties minor crops
have sufficient moisture and are do
ing well.
Cotton continues to open rapidly IN
all sections, and it is opening prema-
turely over a large portion of the
western half of the State, but there
is no perceptible change in the con-
dition of the crop, nor in the pros
pective yield which is smaller than
last year in all parts. The weather
was favorable for picking, with some
interruption in the east, where some
open cotton was damaged by rain
both this and last week.
Fall truck was favored by the rains
on the 2lst, but some hay on the
ground was damaged along the coast.
In other parts of the State haying
progressed rapidly and favorably.-
