stodsy common sense and limited edu-

correctly the usual display of knives

Good afternoon responded the
masquerader, with an assumed alb

himself upon having hit upon a res

evidently known. There were few cir

to profit, fewer emergencies to which
he could not rise, he complimented

cigarette from the Maitland case, lit
1t, and contemplated the detectives
countenance with a winning smile.
Now, as to this Anisty affair last
night"
Under the stimulus of the cham
payne, to say naught of his relief at
having evaded the ordeal of the cut
lery, Hickey discoursed variously and
a. length upon the engrossing subject
OF Anisty, gentleman-cracksma while
the genial counterpart of Daniel Matt
land listened with apparent but decep-
tive apathy, and had much ado to keep
from laughing in his guests face as
the latter, perspiringly earnest, un-
folded his plans for laying the burg
lar by the heels.
From time to time, and at inter-
walls steadily decreasing, the hand Of
the host sought the neck of the bottle,
inclining 1t carefully above the thin
stemmed glass that Hickey kept in al
most constant motion. And the de-
tectives fatuous loquacity flowed as
% contents of the bottle ebbed.
Yet, as the minutes wore on, the
burglar began TO be conscious that II

and amusement that he pumped. The
game, fascinating with its spice of
daring as 1t had primarily been, began
to pail. At length the masquerader
calculated the hour as ripe for what
he had contemplated from the begin
ming; and interrupted Hickey with
scant consideration, in the middle of
most interesting exposition.

tainly for the timepiece; the bottle
was now empty. The hour, as an

At sight of him the thief was con-

by a thrill of excitement like a wave
of heat sweeping through his being.

Anisty was fumbling in his fob

for having been such an ass as to
overlook Maitland's timepiece. "Deuc-

annoyance. I've mislaid my watch. "

THE case of Holleman, the DEFAULT
ing cashier of Anderson, involves the
principles Of the same old story, greed
to get rich quick and unauthorized use
of other peoples money; but there Is
about it that which is well calculated
to arouse sympathy. The man leaves
a confession Of his guilt and a state
ment of the amount Of his shortage.
His figures may or may not be correct
If they are correct, he will get credit
at least for some repentance; but still,
1t would have looked a great deal bet
ter If he had come up and confessed
his wrongdoing like a man and taken
the penalty. In no other possible way
can q man who makes a mistake like
this have a chance to retrieve his err
rors.

BASEBALL NOTES.

Messrs. Webb Heath and Robert
Smith are the brag pitchers on the
Yorkville team, and Bert Smith and
c.. E. Belts are the catchers. All Of
them do good work.
OF course everybody will go out to
see the Yorkville boys play the Indians
next Monday.
The local baseball cranks are work.
ing themselves up to high pitch OF
enthusiasm because Of the perform
ance Of the home team during the past
week or two, and really it looks as If
they have a right to, for Yorkville has
at last shown its ability to beat some
body
Sharon went down before the York
Vile team last Tuesday afternoon by
a score Of to 8. There was a tre-
mendous crowd out to see it and 1t
was really a good game. Heath and
Belts constituted the Yorkville battery
and L. Plexico and Robinson did the
pitching and catching for Sharon.
There was lots of spirit and energy in
the game, and the result rested largely
on the work Of the batteries. Heath
and Belts played like professionals,
and the Sharon team did some most
excellent fielding. These were the
features. Whenever Yorkville sent
ball to tine field, whether liner,
grounder or fly" remarked one Of the
workers, the fielders were right there
ahead Of it. They did fine work, and
II their battery had been up to ours,
they would have beaten us"
Lowryville beat Glover at Glover
yesterday, by score of to 4. 1t was
quite an interesting game, with good
playing on both sides.
The next game on the programme
Is to be played between Yorkville and
Glover on the Glover grounds this af-
ternoon. Glover has the best team in
the county. That is commonly admit
ted; but Manager Witherspoon, Of the
Yorkville team, says he believes that
he can beat Glover. Discussing the
problem Wednesday, he said: Glover
has a good team and I know it; but
If they will only play their own men
like we are doing, and not go else
where, I believe we can beat them. We
will do the best we can anyway"
But the event of the season will be
the two games with Col. Figg's Cher
okee Indians next Monday afternoon
and night Manager Witherspoon's
team is going against the Indians for
all it is worth. The Indians are COM
ing with a reputation; but the local
folks say that they are certainly going
to test that reputation down to rock
bottom. The novelty of the games
with the Indians has attracted no lit
tie interest, and that there will be a
tremendous crowd on the occasion
goes without saying. Everybody will
have to see the afternoon game and,
of course, nobody wants to miss the
night game by electric light.

THE DEMONSTRATION.

The work Of making the corn and
cotton crops Of this season having
been about completed so far as culti-
vation is concerned, Mr. c. j. Hughes,
DR.. Knapp's superintendent In this
county, will probably take furlough
about the first of August or maybe a
few days thereafter.
Speaking Of the outlook Wednesday,
Mr.. Hughes said he thinks that prac-
tically everybody who went into the
undertaking last spring is delighted
with the result, and Of the nearly one
hundred people who are working ex-
perinental acres under his supervision,
he does not know of single one whose
experimental acre is not better than
the balance Of his crop.
Among some of the farmers who are
especially we'll pleased with the situa-
ton, Mr. Hughes mentions: Messrs. w.
s. Lesslie ]. Wylie Roddey, ]. Darby
Smith, ]. L. Dowdle, J. E. Bankhead,
B. L. Jenkins, s. s. Glenn, John M.
Craig, ]. L. Currence and others.
Several Of these have expressed regret
that they did not put their entire
crops under government supervision,
and this they say they will certainly
do next year.
As everybody knows, the season has
been peculiarly unfavorable this year,
but notwithstanding that fact, the
crops that have been worked accord
ing to the directions of DR.. Knapp,
promise much better than those
which have been worked otherwise.

GREAT STORM AT GALVESTON
Splendid New Sea Wall Wards OFF
Tidal Wave.

Galveston, Texas, July 21-Man's
strength and skill were pitted against
the fury Of the elements today, and
man won, when the city Of Galveston,
safely entrenched behind her impreg-
nable seventeen-foot sea wall with
stood with comparatively trifling loss,
a tidal wave and hurricane equal ir
intensity and destructive force to the
one which destroyed the city on Sep
tember 8, 1900.
In Galveston and vicinity, not sin
gle life is believed to have been sac
rificed but the material loss is thought
to be quite extensive. The hurricane
swept the entire gulf coast with in
teEsity and viciousness that has sell
dom been equalled in country where
destructive storms are not unusual. 1t
had it's origin on the Atlantic coast
and swung westward and southwark,
devastating the entire gulf coast even
as far south as Matagorda bay. That
some lives were lost and that much
property was destroyed Is the general
belief tonight. With wires down and
railroad communication destroyed, the
exact loss is impossible to estimate.
The hurricane struck Galveston
about IL o'clock this morning. the wind
attaining a velocity of nearly 20 miles
an hour, whipped the treacherous wa
ters of the Mexican gulf into fury of
destruction. With the pent up anger
of ten years of hate. the waves blind
ly assaulted the grim parapets of stone
which man had builded to restrain its
attacks. In vain it hurled its thou
sands of tons of water upon the splen-
did breastworks. Only a feeble burst
of sparry and little water reached
its objective, and the beleaugered city
lay calm and safe behind the wall

WHEAT AND OATS.

Although there has been good
yield of wheat and oats throughout the
county this year, the average crop has
been painfully small.
Mr.. w. H. Sandifer who has been
operating thresher for several weeks
past in partnership with Mr.. P. w.
Love, was in The Enquirer office on
business yesterday and gave some in
teresting information as to the grain
situation in the territory over which
he has been operating.
Mr.. Sandifer did not have his book
with him and was unable to state def
initely how many crops he had hand
led; but was satisfied that the num-
Der was pretty close to rs, and the
average wheat crop, he thought was
only about 80 or 40 bushels.
1.-The largest wheat crop l have
threshed so far" he said, was for Mr..
Frank Jonas In the Blackjacks. In all,
the crop turned out 130 bushels. 1t Is
but little trouble to set down and get
to work however, and we have thresh-
ed a number Of crops as small as If
teen or twenty bushels; but the aver
age 1 would say, is somewhere between
80 and 40 bushels.
THE largest crop of oats we have
handled, was that Of the Carhart farms
over on Catawba river. This crop
threshed out $50 bushels. We thresh-
ed out $40 bushels for Mr.. o. s. Poe
of Rock Hill, 515 bushels for Congress-
man Finley, and my own crop turned
out 500 bushels.
1.-The biggest crop have heard of
In the county Is that Of Mr.. ]. M.
Cherry Of Rock Hill. have not seen
1t; but people who have seen it tell
me that Mr. Cherry had ESQ acres in
grain and that he will probably thresh
out somewhere between 1000 and 5000
bushels Of wheat"
Mr.. Sandifer said that he did not sow
much wheat himself; but he had as
good a crop as he has heard of-65
bushels on q acres.
