Ornan lodge, A. F. NJ, had a most
delightful meeting Wednesday even
ing of last week. J. A. Wyman, Esq,
and Mr.. G. O.. Simmons we're raised
to the sublime degree of Master
Mason. Bro. J. B. Williams, w. NJ,
of Branchville lodge, acted as Master,
and the work was beautifully done,
he being well assisted by the Bam-
berg brethren.
A number of visitors were present,
in fact there were more Masons in
Bamberg Wednesday evening than
ever before. Brethren were present
from Denmark, Branchville, Black
Vile, Barnwell, Olar, and other
places, and a most delightful occa-
sion was enjoyed. The visitors were
delighted with the new lodge room

MIR. CannOn'S Statement.

We cheerfully give space to the fol-
lowing statement from Mr.. Cannon
the young white man who was arrest
ed here last week:
Mr.. Cannon states that he had no
intention of leaving town, and he is
still here and at his work. That he
was arrested on the afternoon of the
day his board was due, and given no
opportunity to pay same. He had
been at the boarding house two
months and had paid his first
months board, and was at work
when arrested, no demand having
been made for payment of the bill,
and that he was very much surprised
at his arrest.
The matter has been settled up,
and Mr.. Cannon is still here, pursu-
ing his usual avocation.

Holleman Used Bank Funds.

Anderson, July 2O.-J. T. Holle-
man, who for two years has been
cashier of the Bank Of Anderson and
who for four years was assistant
cashier, has been found short in his
accounts approximately $4,000 aud
has left for parts unknown. In the
cash drawer of the bank he left a
letter addressed to President B. F.
Mauldin, in which he made a clear
cut and complete confession, saying
that he lost the money in speculating
in cotton futures. Rather than face
his friends, he said in the letter, he
would fee, and this he did on Sunday
morning when he left Anderson, sup
posedly on his annual vacation. The
people of Anderson are stunned, for
there was no man in Anderson who
enjoyed the confidence and esteem of
the people more than did Townes
Holleman.

A Good Suggestion.

Policeman Rowell will ask city
council to put in phone at some
central point on Main street, so that
if anything happens in any part Of
town he can be called up and get
there quickly. The idea would be
to put very loud gong on the phone
so that Mr. Rowell could hear it from
any point on Main street. If a bur-
glar attempted to enter your home at
night you could at once ring up Mr..
Rowell and have him there quick to
catch the thief, but at present a
night policeman can be of no service
to any part of town except Main
street. This is a capital idea, and one
which we hope to see council adopt.

Bamberg's Farmers Prosperous.

Hon. H. C. Folk has been at some
trouble to gather some figures in ref
erence to the prosperity of BAN.
berg's farmers. He finds that there
is on deposit in the two banks OF
this city about s50,000 from the
farmers of this community, the
largest amount of any one farmer
being $4,000. There are three more
banks in the county, at Denmark,
Olar, and Ehrhardt, and it is reason
able to suppose that the amount on
deposit in these three banks by
farmers amounts to as much as is
deposited in the city banks, so that
there must be at this time at least
100000 deposited in the banks of
this county by the farmers of the
county. When it is remembered that
this is the time of year when farm
er's capital is invested in his crop,
the showing is a remarkable one, and
we doubt if the farmers of any coun-
ty in the State can make better
showing.

FOgle Case Decided.

The case of J. J. Fogle against the
Southern Railway has been affirmed
by the State Supreme Court, which
means that Mr.. Fogle wins the case.
This was a suit brought to recover
damages for a car of melons offered
to the railroad for shipment, and
the railroad did not issue a bill of
lading, claiming it was after Office
hours when the car was offered for
shipment. The jury in the circuit
court found a verdict for the plain
tiff and the railroad appealed, with
the above result. Hon. S. G. May
field represented the plaintiff and j.
F. Carter, Esq, the defendant.

Cotton Prices Slump Heavily.

New York, July 19.-There was
another sensational break in the cot
ton market to-day, with cotton for
December delivery closing at 11.77,
or 35 points below the final quota
ton of Saturday, and 10 points, or
$3.50 bale, below the high record
of last Tuesday.
Liquidation continued very heavy,
and the local bear clique was very
aggressive in the late trading on re-
ports of rain in the Southwest.
The greatest weakness was in the
last half hour, and during this time
December broke from 11.99 to 11.77.
The close was easy at the lowest point
of the day, a net decline of 2S to SO
points.

HARVEST ON IN HARVEY.
Wheat Yield One of the Finest Seen
in Many Years.

Newton Kan, June 24.-Harvesting
has commenced in Harvey county,
wheat being cut in a few localities as
early as last Saturday. although today
will witness the Inauguration of the
work in earnest and from this time
forth for the next two weeks the song
of the reaper will be heard on every
hand.
A trip through a portion of the coun-
ty reveals one of the finest wheat crops
raised in years. Weather conditions
during the past six weeks have been
about all that could be desired, with
the result that much of the wheat
thought to be practically worthless
prior to that time has developed into
good crop and will be well worth har-
vestfng- Many fields will average as
high as thirty bushels an acre and the
average yield for the county will be
twenty bushels an acre.
The haflstorm of q week ago last
Sunday practically wiped out the wheat
through the country which it traversed
varying in width from half a mile to
two miles wide by about fifteen miles
long, but this will not be noticed to
any great extent when the total is
computed.
Oats will make anywhere from forty
five to seventy-flve bushels an acre.
The corn crop is in excellent condi-
ton. The most of it will be cultivated
the last time within the next week and
then favorable weather is all that will
be required to produce one of the
largest corn crops ever raised in this
county.
