Paw Up Now.

During the last week lot of new
cotton has been sold on this market
at prices ranging from 12 to 12 IA cts.
The gins are running regularly now
in most sections of the county and
throughout the state. The farmers
are selling and we want to remind
those who are in arrears for this pa
per to come forward and pay up. We
have solemn obligations to meet in
side of the next thirty days and we
earnestly hope that our subscribers
will help us. You may think that a
dollar is little bit, but where you
have several hundred of them it
amounts to a great deal in the aggre-
gate. We never mind carrying SUBJ
scriptions through the summer
months, but when the fall of the year
comes we must have our money. If
YOU are not going to sell your cotton
now we ask that you make arrange
ments whereby we may get our dues.
Thanks, in advance.

In this issue we print an advertise
ment of the Standard Warehouse Co.,
OF Columbia, of which that prince Of
good men, Mr.. T. B. Stackhouse, is
the president. This company has ar
ranged to loan farmers money on cot
ton stored in the Standard Warehouse
at the very low rate of per cent.
This should enable every farmer in
the State to sell his cotton just as he
sees fit, and at the same time secure
sufficient funds to carry OIL his work.
If the price does not suit you, just de-
posit your cotton with this wellknown
firm, where it will be safe and insured
against fire. This, is by far safer than
keeping it in your barn or out in the
weather as it will lose mu ch of its
weight. This company is absolutely
reliable and can be depended upon to
do what it's officers claim.
Mr.. Stackhouse, together with Mr..
L. W. Parker, Of Greenville, has
just returned from New York,
where arrangements were per-
.tected to secure all the funds neces-
sary to carry out the plans of the
company. The very low rate of six
per cent. was secured by these gentle
men, and they are willing to give
their customers the benefit of their
efforts. If you do not wish to sell
your cotton now, confer with the
Standard Warehouse Co., and they
will gladly take care of it for you.
A postal is all that is necessary. Bet
ter make inquiry today.

Cuts Throat With Razor.

Augusta, Ga, Aug. 81. A. Bic
kle, whiet, aged IS, an ex-mail clerk Oh
the Southern railway, almost severed
his head from his body with razor
at his home here this morning. Bic
kle had been in i'll health and it tis said
that his mind was unbalanced because
of this and recent bereavements in his
family.
He happened to be mail clerk on
Southern train from Charleston on the
night of May IS last when the express
car was rifed and when the train
reached Augusta the messenger was
found in chest. The messenger
claimed that he had been knocked
down by masked men and placed in
the chest. G. P. Humphreys, baggage
master on the train on the night of the
robbery, cut his throat two months
ago, dying almost instantly, because
he was suspected of the robbery. How
ever, the express officials do not con-
meet Bickle with the robbery, but it is
fact that the detective, a few da,
ago, questioned him regarding the
case.

Woman thinks she will be mans
