1t is going to be a big cotton year
also, despite the efforts to restrict
production. The bulletin of the South
ern Cotton association reports the
acreage planted at 27,634,71S, against
26,999,491 last year, a gain of 635,227
acres, or 2.29 per cent. The general
condition appears to be favorable, al
though in some localities the crop is
late and not up to last years quality
or quantity. But the fact that there
is an increase instead of a decline is
proof of continued activity and holds
out the promise of larger prosperity,
even though prices should be shaded

His Friend Jessie
By BELLE MANDATES


ly. Lillian had been spending the day
with her father, and Edna was always
interested in hearing the child prattle
of these visits.

girl, excitedly. 81 had such a lovely

The little lip quivered.
Jessie was lovely to me! I like Jes-

So the intriguing Jessie was winning
husbands. She decided that she would
not allow the child to go to her father
again. She spent a miserable night.

loved her child ~passionately, had not

COURT HOUSE AND JAIL FOR SALE!

The attention of the esteemed
Abheville Medium is invited to
the notice of Lancaster's clerk
that there will be no June term
Of court in that county. While
the official notice does not give
the reason, it is learned that it is
because there is not enough busi-
ness on the docket to Justify
holding court. The dispensary
was voted out of Lancaster last
year. We notice, by the way
that the fence around the court
house has been sold, and we may
expect the court house and Jail
to be advertised for sale or rent
next.-Chester Lantern.
Yes, esteemed contemporary,
our people have become so good
so law-abiding ? since the dis
pensary went "where the wood
bine twineth" that the sale of the
court house fence may soon be
followed by the placing of the
court house itself and the Jail on
the bargain counter. BY the way,
doesn't Chester need 'em in her
business ? Your county now has
all Of Lancaster's convicts and
there is no reason why you
shouldn't take the whole shoot
in match.

Wednesday, June 13, 1906.

The developments by the dis
pensary investigation are becom-
ing more serious as well as sensa-
tional. Heretofore the revelations
of alleged corruption and bribery
have related mainly to county
dispensers and other subordinate
officers of the dispensary system,
but during the past few days
grave charges have been made
by witnesses before the investi-
eating committee against
former heads of the institution.
Whether those charges can be sub
stantiated is altogether another
proposition. They are vigorously
denied by the parties accused
and as matter of simple justice
to those whose integrity has bee n
assailed, the public should sus
pend judgment until all the evil
Gence is in.

financial panic. But all that has
changed. There has been rev

extremist and violent agitator he
was then pictured to be, the peo
pie now recognize in Bryan II
man of marked liberality Of
thought, great perspicacity and
wonderful foresight. 1t is now

lanons, that the Nebrsskan was
right when he made his charges
OF political corruption and ar
raigned the great corporations,
trusts and combines for imposing

pie.
