Strong, Manly Defense.

In his argument against the "spec-
ial box resolution before the coun-
ty Democratic executive committee
on Saturday, Hon. J. William Thur
mond took a strong and manly stand
for prohibition in our town and
county. He stated that he was an
ardent advocate of the dispesary and
believes now that it accomplished
much good in closing up the bar
rooms throughout the State, but
since prohibition has been tried ev-
cry one is compelled to admit that
conditions have improved tremend-
ously. Mr.. Thurmond stated that
in his judgment not one twenty-ffth
as much whiskey is sold now as was
sold before prohibition went into eff
feet.
He stated further that farmer
who resides some twelve miles above
Edgefield recently told him OF the
very marked improvement in, the
conditions upon his farm since the
legal sale of liquor was abolished.
Whereas formerly when his tenants
came to Edgef1eld and purchased a
supply of liquor from the dispensary
he could scarcely manage them,
while now they give him no trouble.

Two Die in Wreck.

Americus, Ca, Aug. 23.-The mu-
tilated remains of Engineer o. J.
Gilstrap and his colored fireman,
Ezekiel Mckenzie, killed in the
wreck of Seaboard train No. "A west
of Americus at o'clock this morn
ing, were brought to Americus
where both resided, and prepared
for burial.
Engineer Gilstrap's train was the
through freight and passenger from
MONTGOMERY to Savannah. Owing
to the torrendal rains a few hours
previous, Engineer Gilstrap was
feeling his way carefully through
the treacherous hills of that region
and ran upon the death trap without
receiving previous warning. The
track was entirely undermined by
the torrent rushing down upon It,
leaving the rails and. crossties ap-
parently intact and safe as seen from
the engine. That the train was run
ming slowly is evidenced by the fact
that none of the cars or coaches
were derailed and none of the pas
sengers injured, only the engine
turning over.

Peculiar Homicide in Anderson.

Anderson, Aug. 21.-A peculiar
homicide occurred here when Floyd
Tucker was killed by Harry Thomp-
son, both colored. Thompson was
employed at the plant of the Ander-
SON Ice Company. Tucker visited
the plant to get a load Of ice. The
two became engaged in controver-
sy because one Of the blocks OF Ice
they were loading fell on fuckers
foot. Tucker cursed Thompson Sc
verely so it was said at the coroner's
INQUEST whereupon Thompson
clinched him. They we're separated,
but got together q few minutes Ia
ter. Tucker had an iron rod In Ills
hands, and dealt Thompson two or
three blows. Thompson had coca
cola bottle in his hand, and raped
Tucker over the head three times,
the third strike shattering the bottle
to pieces. Tucker arose from the
ground where he was knocked by
Thompson and got in his wagon to
drive oil. Soon after getting in the
wagon he became unconscious, and
was hurried to drug store for at
.tention. He died two hours later
without regaining consciousness.
Thompson is in the county Jail.

Big Cucumber.

Wouldn't this jar you? And like
wise double you up? A cucumber
26 inches long! That is the kind
raised this year by Mr.. N. F. John
son of Floyd township. He brought
one in on Saturday that was 20 in
ches long, and said he had gathered
one 26 inches and another 26k.
The circumference is about the same
as a cucumber of the common kind.
Mr.. Johnson's son brought the
seeds of this new variety when he
returned from a visit to friends in
Oklahoma last Spring. 1t is used
for picking, and after standing in
vinegar tastes all right. Mr.. John
son has never tried any Of them just
off the vine; he is not very fond Of
cucumbers anyhow.-Newberry OBJ

Columbia, Aug. 19.-Preparations
are being rapidly completed for the
State Fair to be held in this city on
October 1851. The officials have
been busy for some weeks on the
preliminaries and thousands OF pro-
grams have been shut out. These
premium lists show that the list OF
prizes offered are larger and better
than ever before and there are a
number of new features.
For instance the racing depart
ment has been very much enlarged
and the entries include horses from
all over the country. The fair so
ciety is now member of the South
eastern circuit and the dates have
been so arranged that an owner OF
string of horses can visit each

ton. The racing committee has al

starter who will see that there are
no delays so aggravating heretofore
