WANTED A DRINK.
a Runaway Horse Went Into an Au-
gusta Saloon.

The Augusta Herald says wild
commotion reigned supreme for a
few moments Thursday morning at 9
o'clock out on Campbell street, near
the Union depot. A frightened horse
dashed madly along the street with
nothing attached to him in the way
of vehicle, but the harness straps
were hanging.
Just as he reached Cashin's bar
and restaurant, the horse Veereo
from his course and in a twinkllns
rushed into the bar, putting to nlght
all who stood anywhere near the
path he might pursue. He paused as
they reached for the tempting DRINK
then fed, forgetting everything IN
their flight for safety.
However, the wild career OF tne
horse was stopped when he reached
the rear end of the saloon. He was
arrested by parties in the nelgnooi-
hood before he had time to order ms
drink and an unwelcome customer
vas led back to the shelter OF the
stable from whence he had escaped
whi1e being "hitched up to buggy.

Cotton Figures Compiled by the
National Census Bureau.
THE BANNER COUNTY
In This State is Orangeburg, Which
Is About the Third Cotton Pro.
ducing County in the Cotton Belt.
The Total Crop Is Put Down at
13,305,265 Bales, Which Is a
Bumper Crop.

The census burt~u of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor ha.
just issued a bulletin (No. 7S) Civ
ing the production Of cotton by state.
and territories, with per cent of quail
ity produced in each, forms Of the
total crop, and rank according to the
quantity produced from 1902 to 1905
Including linters and counting
round as half bales, the crop Of 1906
is 13,305,265 bales, compared with
10,725,602 for 1905 and 13,697,31O
for 1904. The 1906 crop for Texas
exceeds all previous records 4,2S1,-
824 bales, or 31.5 per cent Of the
country's production. The next lar
gest contributor is Georgia, with L.
626,824 bales, or IL per cent. Mis-
sissippi ranks third, Alabama fourth
and South Carolina seventh. The
states Of Florida, Georgia, North Car
olina, South Carolina and Virginia
each produced less cotton In 1905
than in 1905, the combined loss
amounted to 33S,762 bales.
South Carolina produced in 1906,
in pounds, 447,565,601; in 1905,
547,ese,716.
The sea-island crop of 1906, con-
sisting of $3.50 bales, or 22,281,889
pounds, is the smallest production
since 1892, when the crop was but
45,418 bales.
The production Of Sea-island cot
ton in this country, confined at pre-
sent to fourteen counties in Florida,
"a in Georgia and 4 in South Caro-
lima, or total of AZ counties.
South Carolina! has 23,902 acres
in Sea-island cotton. The failure of
this staple in Texas shows that it can
only be grown to advantage in GER
tain places in South Carolina, Florida
and Georgia. The increased demand
for superior staples in recent years
Is developing better upland varieties
by seed selection and more careful
cultivation. The average price per
pound for upland cotton this season
Is 1901 cents, while the sea-island
varieties sold from II to 80 cents.
States showing largest per cent of
water power for cotton mills are
Florida, 10 per cent; Alabama, 12;
Georgia, North Carolina and South
Carolina, each ten.

MOUNT Ain TRAGEDY.
Three Men Die. Terrible Expert
ences of Shooting. Party.
Caught in Mountain Storm and AZ
ter Great Suffering Die From Ex-

pOSure.
The London Mail says a hunting
foray" on the range of mountains IL
the northern part Of County Antrim
has been attended with the loss o:
three lives.
Five young men, the sons Of farm
ers, set out from their homes, about
Parkmore, early on Tuesday after
noon, and met at a prearranged rem
devious at the foot of Collin noun
tain, which rises ZOO feet above the
Glens of Antrim.
Ascending about half way, they
became so engrossed in the days.
sport that they did not notice a thick
cloudy mantle creeping down the
mountain side, and soon they became
enveloyed. With numerous ravine:
around, and night approaching, they
became wildly alarmed, wandered
about for a few hours, and lost theil
bearings.
One of the party, Kielty, seeing,
as he thought, a light in the distance,
and thinking it denoted the small
farmstead Of a man named Courtney,
whom he knew, went off, with one OF
his companions, White, in that di-
rection to obtain guidance. They
were not seen again alive.
The other three, Miller, Smith and
Connolly, remained behind together,
the last having become exhausted and
i'll. Out of the darkness they heard
the voice of Kielty shouting, "Pat's
down." and understood that Patrick
White had probably fallen into a
bog-hole or down ravine; but Kiel-
ty did not return.
They suffered so greatly from cold
during the night that Smith volun-
teered to attempt to reach Courtney's
house and bring assistance. Scarcely
able to crawl, Smith eventually
reached the farmhouse, but fell in
sensible before he could deliver his
message.
With hot lamentations and such
other rough and ready treatment as
the cottage allowed, he revived after
a few hours and told his startling
story.
Meanwhile Connolly had died in
the darkness Of the mountain side.
His sole companion, Miller, realizing
that he could be of no further assis-
tance to his comrade, marked the
place where his dead body. lay, and
with the approach of dawn he also
crawled away. With many rests, he
reached Courtney's farm.
Courtney himself, having previous
lv learned some Of the circu1nstanc-
es, had set out at break of day down
the mountain to the nearest village
postofice, Martinstown, and tele-
graphed to Connolly's father. When
he returned Miller and Smith had
sufficiently revived, and the three
went off to find the body of young
Connolly, which they carried on an
stretcher to the village.
Meantime the elder Connolly had
organized a search party Of a dozen
friends. When the old man learned
that his sons body had been already
recovered he and his friends remov-
ed the remains to his home.
A large body Of police and civilians
went up the mountain seeking for
Kielty and White. Their bodies were
found late in the afternoon in a
stream which the melting snow and
heavy rains had swollen to a ranging
torrent.

FELL OFF SOME.
Not So Much Fertilizer Sold This
Year As Last
1t is Thought That the Cotton Acre
age in the State Has Been Reduced
Little.

1t is usually presumed that the
amount Of commercial fertilizer used
is an indication of the size Of the cot
ton crop, or rather Of the acreage
planted in cotton, and il this is true
the acreage this year is likely to lie
found much smaller than last year.
but still great deal larger than in
| 1905 and 1904.
1t was in these two years that the
efforts to reduce acreage were made
through the Southern Cotton Associa-
| ton, but last year the acreage went
up again in a kind of reaction from
the campaign of the year before. and
now it seems to have taken turn
again.
The amount of fertilizer sold is
determined by the amount of tax paid
into the State treasury. The tax is
rs cents per ton on all fertilizer sold
in South Carolina, the money going
to Clemson College, where under the
law the fertilizer is analyzed. To
date the amount of tax paid this year
is S132,3I001 and up to the same
date in 1906 the amount of tax was
S143,S89.14, which is S1l.579.13
more than last year.
The amount of tax paid this year
represents over FIVE hundred thous-
and tons-529,240 ton to be exact
while the amount of tax to this time
last year represented 575,556 tons.
The total amount Of the tax last
year was s167,157.S9, which is the
largest amount ever paid in on this
tax. The tax year ends June 80, ac-
cording to the books Of Clemson Col
lege.
From the books of the State Treas

From the last report Of the Glenn
son College for 1905, it is stated that
"the inspection tax amounted to
s1e4.996.S2, and from this was de-
Quoted for unused tags redeemeds6,-
s42.7e, leaving net amount re-.
ceived from the inspection tax OF
s15S,350.03, which, added to the bal
ance on hand together with the IN
come from other sources amounts to
s224,093.07."
From this amount is deducted the
expenses Of analysis. The report ex-
plains that the apparent discrepancy
between the tag tax figures as found
in the college report is due to the
difference in the fiscal years. How
ever, most Of the fertilizer is SOLD IN
the spring, so that the difference IS
not very great.
