the Larger City.
Small towns have their draw
backs. No man need try in these
vigilant little centers to lead q dou-
bic life. There are faithful, sleep
less watchers at each end Of the
line, with several sentinels along
the way, to report on his doings, his
failures to do and his misdoings.
Everything else failing, his very
thoughts are searched. The faith-
full vedettes conclude from his
smallest movement or lack of move7
ment what must he have in every
circumstance meant. On his return
home after every absence his
friends and neighbors cross examr
inc him as to every detail. He had

one will in due course turn up to

too many people moving back and

this good news is followed up by the
Of the appointment Of
an able adiutant general the outlook
for the militia will lie bright indeed.
Under the administration OF the
present incumbent of the adjutant-
generals Office the militia has been a
bowling farce, and ii he is to lie con-
tinued in that position it would be
better for the state that there were
no money available for militia pur-
poses. The people of the state have
been told that because the adjutant-
general has reached the age that
renders him useless anywhere else that
he ''must be taken care Of" That
may lie true. This paper is not pre-
pared to say that it would be either
wise or. humane to neglect any OF its
civil war veterans-nor has this been
the practice in the past. We do EN-
phatica.ly protest, however, against
making the salary Of the adjutant-
general an old-age pension to the
continued decentralization of the mill
tia service.
The governor is by virtue Of his
office, commander-n chief Of the
state militia. No stretch of the i'm
agination could anticipate situation
wherein he would continue the present

state require that the militia be
placed ia the field. 1t is obvious,

NEGRO SHOOTING scRApEs.

in the face with a shot gun by Rubber
Cannon at Acton, Richland county,
on Saturday night, was brought to the
hospital here for treatment Sunday
morning. He is seriously, but not ia

sight Of both eyes was destroyed, but
this fact cannot be positively deter
mined until the bandages are re-
moved.
Another negro row which occurred
on the shoofly train near Alcolu Sat
orday night terminated in the shoot
ing Of a negro named Coot, by an
other negro, whose name has not been
ascertained. Coot, who was shot in the
face with a pistol, was brought to the
hospital for treatment, is in serious
condition He viii probably recover
but he is apparently blind in one eye.

Sly friend, Mr.. Danner, who is fast

Sly friend, Mr.. Danner, who is fast
becoming a patriarch and to whom
everybody goes for everything, is ar
ranging a trip for next week to the
black fish banks, five miles out at sea-
out beyond the Port Royal entrance,
in one Of his pilot boats. I made this
venture once, and our catch Of fish
ran literally up into the hundreds. We
hope to repeat the experience.
The Beaufort truck farmer is now
beginning to stir about. During the
very torrid summer weather Of June,
July and August, he has but little to
do; but when September draws nigh.
he begins to prepare the ground for
lettuce, radishes, potatoes. cucumbers
and vegetables of other kinds. 1t
seems to me that I might be induced
to farm if I could do my work after
or before the hot summer weather.
The life Of the truck farmer must be
an ideal life for one who likes to
farm. Then, too, the planting of five
or ten acres instead of fifty or hun
dred, and receiving a revenue just as
great as if the larger acres were
planted, is the charming feature con-
nected with the work. It is no un-
common thing for these farmers to
sell five hundred dollars worth Of
lettuce or three hundred dollars worth
of radishes from a single acre. But
all the vegetables are packed with ice
on top of them and are then shipped
in refrigerator cars, and this entails
trouble and expense. However, if the
season is propitious, it is possible to
net six or eight hundred dollars from
two acres Of lettuce. I saw patch
Of less than two acres from which the
owner had sold seven hundred and
fifty dollars worth Of radishes.
Beaufort is on an island, and is en-
tirely surrounded by salt water. Frosts
occur on the mainland which do not
reach the island, and the fact viii
soon be generally known that there is
no superior truck section on our en-
tire coast. In fact, the incoming OF
the truckers is already giving new
life and energy to this whole section.

to say, more anon.

Mr.. MANNING WILL run AGAIN.
Sumter Man VIII Offer for Governor
Three Years Hence.

Columbia, Aug. 25.-The following
| from the Anderson Inteliigencer is
interesting:
senator R. I. Manning, Of Sumter,
spent Sunday in the city. He was on
his way to his mountain home. It
will be remembered that Sen ator Man
ming was in the race for governor last
summer and made the second race
with Gov. Ansel. When asked by the
Intelligencer man whether he would
run for governor next summer the
Senator said that he thought that
Gov Ansel should have two terms
and for this reason he said he would
not be in the race He added that if
Gov. Ansel made the race for the
senate that he would next summer go
after the governors chair and that he
would be in the race when Gov. An
sells second term expired"
Mr.. Manning's declaration that Gov.
Ansel should have two terms is just
such a manly statement as might be
expected of so manly man. It is
following out also, the course which
Gov. Ansel pursued in reference to
Gov. Heyward's reelection, as Mr..
1Ansel soon after his defeat for gov
ernor in 1902, announced that he
would not be again candidate until
Gov Hayward had served two terms.
It is not at all likely that Gov.
Ansel will have opposition for a sec
ond term, it is true that opposition
has been threatened, but such oppo-
sition as has been threatened cannot
avail, except TO disturb the political
peace. The suggestions that Gov.
Ansel may offer for Senator Latimer's S
seat does not bother the Governor. In
his own language he does not while
holding one office concern himself
with securing another office, but de-
votes himself unreseryedly to dis

THE FIRST BALE
The Cotton Season Opened To-day
O'Donnen & Co. Buying the First
Bale of Crop. :.

The first bale of new cotton was
sold on this market Tuesday by c. II.
Broadway, of Paxville, who shipped
it to o'Donnell & Co. The bale
weighed 54s pounds and. the grade
was fairly good for new cotton. The
price paid for it was - IL cents.
The cotton crop is much later this
season than usual, but it is hoped and
expected that the receipts will be
heavy.
