Crops in Fine Condition.

Denmark, Aug. S.-Prospects for
a good cotton crop in this section
were never better. The first open boil
was brought to town to-day, which
indicates cotton picking very soon.
The merchants are in good spirits
and expect a good fall and winter
trade. Corn and other products are
looking we'll, but the farmers in this
immediate section make plenty of
corn and hay for their own use, and
have some to sell.
Fair prices are being realized for
watermelons, of which quite a lot
have been shipped from this place.
This is a fine section of Augusta ter
ritory. Good people and good land
make good crops.
Prohibition people say that Bam-
berg county will go dry. Dispensary
people say it will go wet in the COM
ing election.

Fully Appreciated.

Raymond, age five, returned from
Sunday-school in a state of evident
excitement. He strutted around the
room as if about to burst with i'm
portance. The sympathetic eye OF
his mother was not slow to observe
this.
What's the matter, Raymond?'
she asked.
"Oh, mother" exclaimed the small
boy, his eyes sparkling, "the superin-
tendent said something awful nice
about me in his prayer this morn
ing"
What did he say?"
He said, oh, Lord, we thank Thee
for food and Raymond '"-Woman's

Will Fight to Secure Children.

St. Louis, Aug. 5.-Rumors that
the Vivanos, father Of Grace ana
Tommasso Viviano, who were kid
mapped from their homes here Mon
day, were communicating secretly
with the children's abductors were
dispelled to-day by Pietro Viviano
calling at the police station and an
nouncing to Captain Schoppe an in
tention to prosecute the abductors
when captured. Pietro Viviano told
the police that he and his cousin Of
the same name, did not have $25 900,
which the special delivery letter de-
manded as a ransom.
The police are holding Joseph Pag-
ano and Lamancia Ciroloma, the lat
ter having confessed last night that
Pagano, Marchesi, Benedetto, Samuel
Turrisi and Vincenzo Ricardo arrang-
ed with him last Sunday to have the
trunks, which were found in Chica-
60, hauled to an express Office here.
Pagano when told Of Giroloma's 8
confession, pleaded ignorance and
begged to be allowed to commit sui
eide. Benedetto, Turrisi and Ricardo
and the latter's wife and mother-in-
law are being sought. 1t is thought
they are in Chicago.

Kidnappers Planning Demands.

New York, Aug. 5.-The kidnap-
ping of two children within week
from the same family has led the
police to believe that efforts are be-
ing made to blackmail the parents.
When Stephen GUARDING, four years
old, was stolen from in front of his
home in Spring street on Sunday aft
ernoon, the kidnappers apparently
stole the wrong child, because he
was released the following morning,
and was picked up on strange
street, and returned to his parents.
At 2 o'clock the same afternoon,
Stephens six-year-old brother, An
thony, was sleeping in a bedroom OF
the GUARDING fat when strange
man entered and carried him away
without awakening him. At the time
the other members Of the family
were visiting a neighbor.
Anthony has not been found, and
the police force of New York city is
seeking him. The father is pros
porous and owns the lease of the
tenement in which the family lives
He has a brother in Brooklyn who
is rated 'as wealthy, and the family
believe, with the police, that a de-
mand will he made for the missing
child's ransom.
A letter which came into the
possession of the police to-day is be-
lieved to be the first communication
received in st. Louis from the kid
nappers Of the Viviano children since
the father of Grace Viviano received
through the mails a demand for
$4,000 ransom.
The letter, addressed to Joseph
Pagano, one of the two men held by
the police, came from Chicago and
the writer tells Pagano that he can
not claim "the trunks" because the
police are watching them. The police
are keeping the text Of the letter a
secret and will not divulge the name
of the writer.
Marchesi Benedettro, whom the po-
lice are seeking, opened saloon at
Milton avenue and Oak street, Chi
cago, two years ago. He was known
there as Ben Marghesi He sold out
his business and came here 6 months
ago. A special officer will not be
sent to Chicago as the Vivianos will
not pay the expenses.

FARMERS SHOULD SUPPORT.
Those Newspapers that Fight Their
Battles.

In an audience composed mostly
of the members Of the Farmers
Union one of the speakers recently
expressed the mutual friendship be-
tween the farm and newspaper in the
following:
LAS a rule the farmer has no
frmer friend than the country press.
The home paper is distinctly the
farmers own paper, supported di-
rectly and indirectly by farmers, who
compose the backbone of the sub
scription list of the printer and
largely for what the enterprising
merchant advertises. Now, broth
er, let US not forget our friends. Let
US see that our subscription is paid
a year in advance. We can do it.
THE man or the paper that
fights my battle shall have my sup
port. Another thing, the merchants
advertising are the ones that make
lit possible for us to get good local
paper. The man or local firm that
is too penurious to advertise and help
support the local press has no right
to the farmers patronage.
Il promise hereafter to go to the
live advertiser and the man who
does his share in supporting the local
press, thus contributing to my sup
port, rather than buy of man who
proposes to take all and give nothing
back. If farmers as a class would
support their friends, the other fel-
low would soon go out Of business. "

Statewide Prohibition for Carolina

Statewide Prohibition for Carolina.
Columbia, S: c., August 6.-Rep-
resentative J. G. Richards, Jr., OF
Kershaw, prohibition floor leader in
the house and who got his bill
through that body last year after a
most memorable contest with a stub
born filibuster, will reintroduce his
bill at the next session, and though
it will be identically the same legis-
lature, he is confident statewide
bill will pass both houses with ease.
I'VE are going to pass her this
time as sure as gun is made of iron"
he said. There will hardly be two
counties in the State 'wet" when
these August elections are over and
we will complete the job next winter
in the legislature by passing a State
wide act. These spasms they are hav-
ing in various parts Of the State
about the last act being unconstitu-
tional, about how soon after the elec-
ton the dispensaries shall be reopen
ed and all that sort of thing are not
worrying the prohibitionists who
know the situation. We have got Ii
quor beat in this State and that had
as well be accepted"
Mr.. Richards will not be candi-
date for governor next summer as
many people over the State have
been expecting on account Of his pro-
hibition activity and by reason OF the
fact that he carried successful fight
through against the lien law after ten
years hard work. At least 80 far as
he can see at present, he will not run
for any Office in the next State cam
paign.
Though a former ardent State dis
pensary advocate, and who fought
hard in the legislature against its
adjustment, he is an enthusiastic
supporter of the graft-hunting COM
mittee.
81 hope that committee will sue
ceed in putting the stripes on the
State officials who have been stealing
from the State" said he. "They are
the people who did more than all
others to destroy the State dispen-
sary."

HUNTING WILD CATTLE.
North Carolina Herd That Became
Troublesome Had to be Killed.

~
Troublesome Had to be Killed.
For several days a hunt for wild
cattle has been in progress within ten
miles of Fayetteville. A number of
years ago Major J. B. Broadfoot turn
ed several COWS loose on stretch OF
land he owned between Carver's
creek and Cross creek, says the Fay
etteville Observer.
There they have been ever since,
multiplying and growing wilder with
each generation, until now the herd
numbers fully a hundred, all wild as
zebras. These animals ranged for a
distance of seven miles between two
creeks and along their banks 10 or IL
miles.
Finding it almost impossible to
catch any of them, and hearing that
certain parties were hunting them
with rifles, Major Broadfoot decided
" LdhS q uduu III IuS 1AotIS3 01A19SAA,
and enlisted the services of J. A. Rat
cliffe, a crack rife shot. So for the
last several days, accompanied by a
pilot, man in the neighborhood,
who knows the wild cattle and their
range, Mr.. Ratcliffe has been having
real sport.
So far he has been able to get with
in rife range Of six Of the animals,
and he has brought them all to the
ground. One Of them, a great bull,
after being shot twice, made a dash
for Mr.. Ratcliffe, and it took three
more bullets in the head before the
animal dropped at the hunters feet.
The pilot, Sam Elliott, estimates the
number Of these wild animals at 100,
having himself seen as many as Is
different ones.

Fighting Dispensary Election.

Lancaster, Aug. 4.-The Charles
ton lawyers, Messrs. Holman &
Grace, who made application before
Chief Justice Jones here last even
ing for rule to show cause in the
case of Thomas NJ. Pellico against the
Charleston election commissioners, a
proceeding in which question Is
raised as to constitutionality Of act
providing for closing Of dispensaries
and the holding of an election on the
18th instant, as published in to-day's
State, added a third ground to-day
to those submitted last night In sup
port of their contention that the act
in question is unconstitutional,
namely, that it is class legislation, in
that it gives Fl counties the right to
hold elections automatically every
four years, while the remaining coun-
ties are allowed the one election
only.
1t will be recalled that the other
grounds are: First, that it violates
the article in the constitution requir-
ing the subject matter OF the act to
be stated in the title. Second, that
the act is special legislation.
Chief Justice Jones forwarded
copies of the papers to-day to the as
sociate justices, and until they are
heard from it will not be known
whether the supreme court will as
semble to hear the case.
