Got What She Wanted.

Notwithstanding the furry about
the packing houses and few other
questions of national importance, the
rate bill is always topic Of CONVEX

They were talking about 1t in the
lobby Of the house. WELL" said
Representative Fred Lands, II guess
the president got about what he
wanted"
"Sure," replied Representative
Garner. He got what he wanted
the way the girl did who was travel
ing in Mexico. She could speak no
Spanish and she wanted some milk.
She couldn't make the waiter UNDER

on piece Of paper. The waiter I'M
derstood then, He brought her q

Buyer. Want Cattle.

The following extract from the
Fulton letter says: NThere has been
a decided improvement in the cattle
market during the past week. This
is due to the fact that the movement
has been light, and second, the quail
ity much better. Buyers are need
ing cattle now and the slump week
before last has been more than taken
up by the advance. Well finished
grass steers are selling as high as
34.85, with the average kinds bring

Revival Of Silver Mining in Colorado

Announcement was made in Wash
ington, on Thursday, August eth,
that for the first time in thirteen
years, or since the repealof the Bland
silver act in 1893, the government
had entered the market for the pur-
chase Of silver. Bids for enough bull
lion for the subsidiary coinage
which amounts to about 100000 a
year-will be received each Wednes-
day, beginning August 10, at Denver,
New Orleans and Philadelphia minis.
According to authorities on mining
and smelling, the return Of the gov
eminent into the silver market is of
the utmost Importance to Colorado.
1t will mean the reopening of many
old mines and the development Of
many that are now being operated in
desultory fashion. The silver mar
ket, which is now at IS cents an
ounce, it is predicted will rise to 70
cents.

Last Saturday, Mr.. w. T. Kisinger
brought this office a sample of spring
Defiance wheat which was raised
on his place, or what is known as the
Mediation horse ranch on Little
Beaver, and IL what IL called dry
ranch. Mr.. Kisinger says the wheat,
OF which he has about SO acres, will go
between 40 and 80 bushels to the acre
and the sample certainly bears him
out in his estimate. This wheat was
sown the first week In May and irri-
gated but once, and that during the
first week in June, 1t then being about
seven inches high. Mr.. Kisinger is
of the belief that one irrigation is
sufficient to insure = wheat crop.

charging the Standard Oil company
with receiving rebates in the form Of
nonpayment of storage charges to

turned by the federal grand jury be-
fore Judge s. H. Bethea last week.
The Indictment came rs surprise
inasmuch as the grand jury had just
begun the Investigation.
The Indictment contains nineteen
counts, each count constituting =
separate charge. The true bills come
under the Elkins law, which provides
. fine Of u, 600 to $1,000 for each vio-
latiOn.

LABOR DAY CLOSING.
Quite Number of Merchants Are
Willing to Close Their Stores.

A number Of merchants have said
to the secretary Of the Chamber OF
Commerce that they are perfectly
willing to close their stores on Labor
Day in order to give their employees
an opportunity to go to Florence. All
that is required is for some interested
party to circulate paper for the
signing of an agreement for all to
close. One merchant said that he
thought Sumter would do itself good
by closing up on Labor Day and go
ingto Florence, as it will be not only
good advertisement for Sumter to
show that she is desirous of assisting
her sister towns in celebrating La
bor Day but that the action will make
friends for Sumter. Who will circu-
late the paper for an agreement to
close the stores?

DILLON WANTS NEW COUNTY.
The Attempt to Divide Marion Coun
ty to Be Renewed.

Dillon, August 27.-The people Of
upper Marion county are greatly en-
couraged over the new county pros
pect. Mr.. T. A. Dillon, mayor OF
the town of Dillon, which is to be
the county seat, said that if no un-
foreseen difficulties arise the election
will be held the latter part Of No
vember, and there is every promise OF
success. Mr. Dillon is one Of the
moving spirits of the campaign. The
firm of J. ". Dillon & Son is advanc-
ing the money for the surveys and
other incidental expenses. and both
the father and son are doing all they
can for the new county.
In the last survey Of the area 1t
is proposed TO incorporate in the
new couut,, made by Mr.. J. T. Ward
law, of Darlington, it appears that
Sellers and Latta are not Included.
Mr.. Wardlaw has completed his
work and reported the results to the
new :ounty committee. Sellers is cut
because that town comes within thes
eight mile limit from the Marion
county vourt house.
But there is an entirely different
reason why the growing town Of Lat
ia has been left out in the cold. 1t
seems Nhat a great majority Of the
people of Latta are satisfied to re-
main in the old county Of Marion,
and they so expressed themselves at
the election held on the new county
question in 1902 The Latta vote vlr-
tually killed the new county. Since
that time sentiment has not changed;
eif anything the opposition to the new
county is stronger than it ever was,
and the new county faction decided
to remove this obstacle by cutting
Latta out of their territory. F.
In running the lines the surveyor
has produced a situation that will
make very funny appearance on the
map. However, it was an ingenious
scheme to get out Of trouble. The
town Of Latta was circled, the radius
being a half mile. A strip Of land
100 feet wide, connects the town with
Marion county. A public road. the
state line from Reedy creek to Ma
rion court house runs along this strip.
Thus it is that while Latta owes her
allegiance to the ol6s county, she lies
completely within the territory of the
proposed new county. Latta Will
make strange looking spot on the
map.
