and willing to cooperate to make
the movement a big success

present conditions of trade in the ma
iority of industries are fair, and that
the possibilities of an increase during
the coming year are good. The in
dustries scheduled are iron and steel,
machinery, tools and hardware, ag-
ricultural implements, textiles, paper
and printing, leather and it's manu-
factures, lumber and it's manufactu-
res, vehicles, food products and

Wright Found Guilty.

Bennettsville, Oct. 19.-Zephry P,
Wright, charged with burning his
store, was sentenced by Judge Gary
to-day to serve a period Of ten years
at hard labor in the State peniten-
tiary.
The grand jury returned true bill.
The solicitor empaneled trial pury,
put in the evidence for the State and
then announced that the State would
be satisfied with a verdict of guilty
with recommendation for mercy.
Attorneys announced that such a
verdict was acceptable.
The foreman was instructed to
write such a verdict. When the de-
fendant was arraigned for sentence
his counsel read the proceedings had
before the probate court and made
an eloquent and touching appeal for
mercy on the ground of mental un-
soundness of the defendant, basing
his plea upon personal knowledge OF
the defendants mental condition and
the proceedings in the probate court
whereupon the presiding judge i'm
posed the minimum sentence Of ten
years.
The entire community sympathizes
deeply with the defendants family
but the general opinion is that his
counsel acted wisely.
The handling of the case by Solici-
tor Spears is highly commended and
approved by those who know the
facts and situation.

EXPENSIVE FIRE AT ROCK HILL.
Cotton Worth $35,OOO at Local Mar
ket Price Destroyed.

Rock Hill, October 1S.-Seven or
eight hundred bales of cotton, valued
at $4,000, estimating with the To-
cal price of cotton as a basis, were
DESTROYED in fire which consumed
Edward Fewell's ware house here at
an early hour to-day. The loss on the
building is placed at tnree or four
thousand dollars. Specializing, much
more was lost, because the cotton
was for the most part stored because
the owners were not willing to take
the market price. The cotton was
insured upon the above basis. On
the building Mr.. Fewell had about
threee thousand dollars insurance.
This ware house was badly damaged
on the 18th of September, and two
hundred bales burned.

A CUTTING SCRAPE.
DIR. EsDorn Cut by Frank Johnson.
Wound Not Serious.

What came near being serious
difficulty between DR.. G.. H. EsDorn
and Frank Johnson occurred Satur-
day afternoon about one o'clock at
Magistrate Bryan's office. 1t has
been little hard to gather the par
ticulars of the difficulty, but it ap-
pears that DR.. EsDorn several months
ago loaned Mr.. Johnson S25 and that
Saturday they met at Magistrate
Bryan's office to effect settlement,
Mr.. Bryan having expressed a will
ingness to help Johnson pay the debt.
It seems that Johnson did not wish
to bother Mr.. Bryan and said to DR..
EsDorn that Bryan could not attend
to any business as he was drunk. Dr.
EsDorn said to him, well, if Bryan
is drunk, I am not and you are not,
so come on in" With that he walk
ed in the office. Johnson followed
and sprang, without warning, accord
ing to the statement of several per-
sons in and around the office, upon
EsDorn's back. EsDorn turned
quickly and striking Johnson back
handed blow knocked him down and
then Jumped on him. An instant later
he sprang back saying he was cut,
and pulled out his pistol. Magistrate
Bryan and others interfered and hust-
led Johnson out of the office closing
the door, meanwhile securing DR.. Es-
Dorn's pistol. 1t was found that DR..
EsDorn was stabbed in the lower left
side and cut On the left thigh above
tho knee IT is the opinion of sever
al that the stab in the side was made
when johnson sprang on EsDorn's
back, and the cut on the leg as he
was getting off Johnson on the hoor.
DR.. EsDorn was taken to DR.. w.
B. Ackerman's Office where he and
DR.. Stokes dressed the wounds. 1t
was found that they were not serious
though painful. After dressing them
he was taken to the residence of Mr..
J.R. Lawrence where he was Joined
Sunday by Mrs. EsDorn and their
little son from Beaufort. He will be
out again in a few days.
Mr.. Johnson was taken to jail just
after the affray where he was con-
fined till yesterday when he was re-
leased on $500 bond.
Mr.. Johnson was seensthis noon by
a reporter for this paper and states
that he will make full statement in
a few days, but does not care to have
ANYTHING to say now, except that he
does not owe DR.. EsDorn any money,
and that he was first attacked.-Wal-

Will Lose Seminary.

Savannah, Oct. 9.-The Lutheran
Synod this morning decided to re-
move the theological seminary now
at Mount Pleasant to some other
place. The friends of Charleston and
Mount Pleasant put up hard fight
to retain the college, but the majori-
ty against them was conclusive.
The new site for the seminary is
to be selected by its board Of direc-
tors AS the principal objection to
Mt. Pleasant was it's inaccessibility,
it is believed that the friends Of
Charleston on the board will make
fight to have it moved to the city
of Charleston.
The synod also passed resolution
endorsing a plan to raise an endow-
ment of $4,000 for the seminary.

Hot Shot from a Preacher.

One of the most successful revival
SITS in the middle west is Rev. Billy
Sunday, the ex-ball player. In the
course of one of his recent sermons
he said:
Il understand that a young woman
is going about this town into your
homes and business houses peddling
that l%ow-down, infamous, malicious,
premeditated, ~damnable, dirty, black
hearted lie that at a town or some
town at which / was holding a meet
ing | noticed two young ladies in the
audience who were wearing red hats,
and hat | shouted that if there was a
cowboy in the audience | would like
to have him lasso those two red heif-
ers. If | ever said such a thing l de.
served to be tarred and feathered. l
will willingly give $1,000 to any man
or woman who can prove that l ever
did such a thing as that. 1t is Il damn
able lie-a lie, a lie. If that's not
plain, come to me. | don't very often
pay any attention TO stories about me,
but when any one tries to blacken my
character I'll fight with every drop
of blood in my body and wont allow

TO ruin my reputation. | don't want
To carry malice, but | will stand up

Average Must BE Raised.

Professor p. G.. Holden in his 4 r c
of Corn Culture. says that while the
average yield of corn in The United
States is less than twenty-five bushels
per acre. yet there are hundreds and
thousands of farmers who produce
sixty and seventy, and often eighty and
ninety bushels per acre. Il have in
mind he says, scores of instances
where of two fields, just across the
road from each other, or perhaps adj
Joining. but on different farms. one
yielded more than seventy bushels and
the other less than twenty, yet the
land values were the same and the la
Dor required to produce the twenty
bushel crop as great as to produce the
se~enty-bushel crop. If II man can
produce sixty and seventy bushels per
acre. the other man can do 1t also, and
not only that, but must do IL if we are
TO achieve our agricultural possiblli-
ties"
Test your corn carefully. and il ii
is found defective send away at once
for a supply, but test that also.

STRENUOUS -LOVE-MAKING.
Among the PeagUins There. Are
Lively Ei-hf. for Mates

Among the PcagUins There Are
Lively Fights far Mates.
It IS probable that penguins pair for
life. although nothing definite is known
on the subject. When mates are ch0s-
en- the process is as interesting as it IS
striking. As is the case with SO many
creatures. the males fight with each
other for the females-might being
right in the penguin code. The birds
have regular fighting places, and n
such battle ground was found under
an Overhanging ledge. The results of
innumerable encounters were present
in the shape of great quantities of loose
feathers surrounding the little fighting
ring, which Itself was clear OF all de
bris. Although the beak of a penguin
is so formidable n weapon when used
on thin-skinned enemies. yet their own
skin and blubber are so resistant that
they can infict no injury by this means.
The customary mode OF fighting is
really a kind of boxing. or clipper
ing it might be called. The two com

and then walk cautiously about each
other. jockeying for an opening and
ready TO take instant advantage of Il
false step or move on the part of the
opponent. All. however, is solemn and
decorous, consistent with the rest of the
life Of these strange little beings.
When at last each secures a good
grip on the neck or body Of the oppo-
nent. the real fighting begins. AS nine
tenths of the life of ~penguins is spent
on the open sea, where they pursue and
capture fish, swimming with great
swiftness by strokes Of the fiipper-like
wings. it can well be imagined that the
strength of their wings is very great
II when the two fighters begin to
belabor each other with rapidly yibrat-
ing ripper strokes, each ~resoundins
whack must make 4 considerable i'm
preston even on the protecting coat OF
blubber fat. No one has ever recorded
4 finish of such an encounter, but ii is
not probable that they result fatally.
The weaker of the two must soon sue
cumb under such severe punishment
and yield the field and the fair PEN
gum mate to his stronger rival. The
strength of the wing strokes can be
tested by allowing Il penguin TO take
hold of ones coat sleeve. or. better. the
back of the hand. The third or fourth
stroke will draw blood and one is soon
fully satisfied as to the penguin's abil-
ity in this respect. The tough skin
and the loose. rolling blubber beneath,
besides breaking a fall and protecting
the bird from the icy waters in which
Ii lives. sometimes subserves another
most important purpose.

the Maryland Experiment Station the
reports received show yields ranging
from two and n quarter to seven tons
per acre. One farmer reported a yield
of five tons per acre on a field of sixty

results of incubation tests showed the
value of using alfalfa and sweet clover
soil for this purpose.

Snecics Of AlfInrin.

There are about eight species OF
alflaria growing in the United States.
three being native to the Pacific coast
region. The most valuable and the
one that has made such progress on
the ranges is the red stemmed alflaria
(Erodium cicutarium). This species Is
a hairy, slightly viscid, erect or as
six to eight inches high. Its flowers
are lilac or purple, and the plant pos
sesses generally n pronounced musky
odor. During the winter it forms a
compact. many leaved rosette from ten
to twelve inches in diameter, from
which the stems are thrown up during
the spring months.
