success in the watermelon belt has
been phenomenal.
"In addition to that great fortune,"
he continued, "the general crops
throughout the entire Second District
are 80 fine that we will have more
prosperity in Aiken, Barnwell, Bam-
berg and Edgefeld counties than we
have enjoyed in years. The farmers
all feel good, owe very little, and see
their way clear to handsome profits"
''The truth is we are becoming bet
ter farmers. We are making more
corn on twenty acres than we former
ly made on fifty acres. And the pro-
duct is better now than it used to be.
"Cotton is all right too. Early cot
ton is out of woods" But the late
crop is not. We have been having a
little too much rain the last few days
and the weather is little too cool.
But with plenty of sunshine from now
on there will be but one problem
how to get the cotton picked out.

Cruelty to Animals.

Cruelty to animals is crime which
is punishable by a pretty good fine,
and yet there is always some cases
which never come up before the pro-
per authorities. There are cases,
however, which come up for trial from
time to time, and this morning there
was a case which was tried by Mayor
Doyle.
Two negroes, employed by a local
market, were on their way to the but
cher pen with COW yesterday after
noon, and were treating the animal in
a most cruel manner. The COW was
somewhat stubborn and it was with
some difficulty that it could be driven
along. All sorts of means were used
to drive the COW to the pen, and at
last the negro who was driving the
COW began using his butcher knife on
the animal to urge him along. The
COW was cut once or twice in the
neck and several times on the tall

such decided opinions as to disqualify
them.
There was but one peremptory chal-

excusing a talesman named Charles

lowed with much interest. He was

would have been to transform it into

The proposed amendment was con-

insertion of the following new "ob-

the obtaining for the workers the full
results of their labors by the over

RAILROADS FIGHT NEW RATES,
Minnesota Companies Secure lnjunc'

Minnesota Companies Secure lnjunc-
ton in Federal Court.
st. Paul, Jan. { The ten railroads
operating in Minnesota have secured
from Judge Lochren in the United
States circuit court temporary in
juction restraining the Minnesota rail-
road and warehouse commission, from
enforcing the schedule of commodity
rates, which the commission ordered
some time ago to become effective
Jan. Is.
The order is made in connection
F.. Staples and William E. Young, as
members of the railroad and ware
house commission, to show cause on
Feb. 13 why temporary injunction
should not issue pending the final de-
termination of the suits filed to en-
join the enforcement of the new rates.
The ten railroads filed their COM
plants and the order to show cause
was served on the members of the
railroad and warehouse commission ii
The complaining roads allege that
these proposed commodity rates
practically amount to confiscation and
are much lower than the rates pre-
vailing in Iowa, wisconsin, Missouri,
Nebraska and Kansas, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the actual cost to
the railroads for such service is high
er in Minnesota than in any Of these
states It is alleged that the cost of
fuel in Minnesota is higher than in
these states and that climatic condi-
lions here in the winter are such as
to make railroad operation difficult
and expensive.
