Bumper Wheat Crop.

Spokane, Wash, July 27.-Re-
ports received by L. G. Monroe, Sec
retary Of the Spokane chamber OF
commerce, from 3e7 important points
in Washington, Idaho, Montana and
Oregon, show that the wheat crop
this season will be between 62,000,-
900 and 100000 bushels. Thir-
teen counties in eastern Washington
report approximately 36,000,000
bushels, Oregon will cut about a.
100000, Idaho is credited with T.
900, 900, while incomplete data from
Montana shows between 100000
and 100000 bushels. It is believ-
ed these statistics are ultra-conserva-
tive, as well Informed ranchers and
millmen say Washington will yield
not less than 37,500,000, while Idaho
and Montana should each touch the
100000 mark The crop will be
worth more to the growers than in
1907, when the record yield was har-
vested. Prices are higher for all
grades of wheat, ranging from $1.15
for bluestem to 95 cents for the red
varieties. "

would achieve the greatest Demo-
cratic victory of the age. 1t is worth
having just for that. But that it
does restrain the use of intoxicants
and so cuts down the evils of intem-
perance is clear to any unbiased
mind from the statistics from the po-
lice courts where it is being tried,
unless it be in a few places where
there is a lack of sentiment to back
it up. The true value of anything,
we must bear in mind, is estimated,
not from it's exceptions, but it's gen.
eral rule. The very fact that liquor
manufacturers are spending thous-
ands of dollars to check the tide of
prohibition, shows that in sending
out their battle cry, Prohibition
don't prohibit" they are only seeking
to dupe the unthinking and unin-
formed. DEMOCRAT.

INTER.URBAN LINE PROPOSED.
Electric Railway May be. Built from
spartanburg to Glenn Springs.


Spartanburg, July 29.-Tha+ ques-
ton of building an electric railway
from Spartanburg to, Glenn Springs,
and thence to Union, is being consid-
cred by the Electric Manufacturing
and Power Company. Vice President
and General Manager F. H. Knox, OF
the Power Company, with J. B. Lee,
president of the Glenn Springs Hotel
Company, and A. L. White, president
Of the Merchants and Farmers Bank,
and large stockholder in the Glenn
Springs Company, made a trip
through the country over the pro-
posed route. Mr.. Knox expressed
himself as being highly pleased with
the country, stating that the road
could be constructed without great
cost, as there will be no heavy grades
or heavy trestling to be done.
The Glenn Springs people are pre-
pairing to build large brick hotel,
which will be kept open the year
round. Before this work is under
taken, however, transportation facili-
ties from the city to Glenn Springs
must be arranged.

Senate Votes Out McLendon.

Atlanta, Ca, July 30.-1Ae Geor-
gia senate to-day voted to remove
from Office Chairman McLendon, OF
the State railroad commission, the
vote being % to 1S. McLendon was
recently suspended by Former Gov.
Smith on charges of being too lenient
with the railroads, in violation OF
campaign pledges. The house has
yet to act on the removal.
: Today's action by the senate was
based on joint legislative investiga-
ton into Former Gov. Smiths
charges. The investigation disclosed
that McLendon, while commissioner,
had sold Athens, Ca, street rail-
way bonds, making a profit there
from. McLendon claimed this was
not unlawful.

Little Child Killed.

Darlington, July 30.-This after
noon Mary McIndill, four years old,
was shot and killed at the home of
her grandfather, w. ]. Baker, on
Factory Hill, this city, the coroner's
jury finding that she came to her
death from a gunshot wound in a
manner unknown to the jury. The
first supposition was that the child,
playing on the floor with a water
melon, rolled it against gun in the
corner, causing the latter's discharge,
but the mark of the bullet high on
the wall opposite was inconsistent
with this theory as the course OF the
bullet in the child's body was down
ward. The child's mother is dead and
the father is not in Darlington.

commenced; that in attempting to
kill Holland on the Saturday night
before the opening of court, John
son made mistake and killed
Ussery instead of Holland. Ken
nedys defense was a general denial,
backed up by proofs of alibis in con-
tradiction to statements made in the
confession of Johnson and statements
made on the stand by Grubbs. Not
withstanding the hard fight by the
defense it was impossible to shatter
the strong array of testimony put up
by the State, and Kennedy is to-day
convicted by twelve of his pears.

DOG HELD AS WITNESS.
it is Believed, Will Furnish
Evidence Against Negro.

Atlanta, Ca, July 2S.-A spotted
white dog is to-day locked up in the
Cobb county Jail, near here, with an
entry in the police blotter that he is
a material witness in an assault case
and is to remain a prisoner indef-
nitely. In the eyes of the law, at
least, this imprisonment contains no
element of jest, for the life of ne
gro prisoner depends in part upon the
dog. The animal is supposed to be
the one which accompanied negro
who assaulted white woman near
Winnings station recently. Willard
Webb, a negro, is in Jail, in Atlanta,
charged with the attack. The dog
will confront his alleged master at
the trial next month, his blind faith
fulness being relied upon to give
true testimony. His victim already
has identified the dog.

NEGRO HANGED AT GREENWOOD
Marsh Washington, Convicted of Muir

Marsh Washington, Convicted of Muir
der, Confesses on the Gallows.
Greenwood, July 30.-Marsh Wash.
ington, a negro aged about 80, was
hung here to-day tor the murder last
July Of his paramour. There were nc
unusual features Of the hanging.
Washington was cool and collected
and went to the gallows without a
tremor. There was no hitch or delay
in the proceedings. At II. O'Clock the
Rev. B. ". Boone, the Rev. Chas. B,
Gilliard, and the Rev. J. F. Jackson
entered Washington's cell. He had
been dressed a few minutes before,
After reading a selection from the
Bible, a hymn was sung, and the Rev.
B. W. Boone made a prayer. ,..
The procession to the gallows be-
gan at 1880. As Washington start
ed up the steps he began singing, 81
am Going Home to Die" On the
gallows, after the moose was adjusted,
he was asked If he had any last state
ment to make. He said he had denied
the murder Of the woman at first, but
now he confessed it, and he was ready
to die. He then began a prayer, in
termingled with a song, running the
two together. In this he said that
the man who sprung the trap for him
would have to pray just as he, Wash
ington, was having to pray for the
murder Of the woman and continued
his prayer and singing to the last.
The trap was sprung at 11:47. At IL,
noon, exactly, he was pronounced
dead by DR.. J. B. Owens. .-.
There was no excitement outside
the Jail. About one hundred people,
mostly negroes, had collected around
the Jail yard on the outside. Wash
ington was tried and convicted five
days after the murder of the woman,
but his attorney, D. H. Magill, took
an appeal. A new trial was refused,
and at the last term of the court OF
general sessions Judge Devore SEN
fenced him to hang to-day, July 30.

FEMALE MOONSHINER.
Marshal Finds Woman Running 6
Distillery.

Surrounded by a crude outfit, with
beer in the tubs and the ripple of a
little stream trickling among the
fake stands, near the prosperous
town Of Sparta, in Hancock county,
Ca, United States Deputy Marshal
Frank Riley arrested Pearl Gordon,
on a charge of running a blockade
distillery.
In all his long experience in the
service this is the first woman the
officer ever captured in moon
sine plant. The outfit was in oper-
alton and indications were that the
woman had been conducting very
extensive business. The woman gave
bond for her appearance before Com
missioner Irwin.

The First Trial.
It will be remembered that Ken
nedy was tried here two weeks ago
to-day for this same offense, and, af-
ter one of the most interesting and
exciting cases ever tried in this court
house, the jury failed to agree, and
a mistrial was ordered by Judge
Gary. Not daunted at this seeming
defeat, the solicitor and his associates
took advantage of the privilege given
them to have the case tried again at
this term of court and requested the
governor to have a new judge sent
here to fill the vacancy caused by
the illness of Judge Gary. Judge
Sease, of Spartanburg, was sent and
on Monday of this week the trial
commenced.
The testimony brought out by the
Safe went to show that there was i'll
feeling between Kennedy and Hol-
land; that Kennedy was afraid for
Holland to come to Barnwell to tes-
tify in a certain case at the Novem-
Der term of court last year; that, in
order to shut Hollands mouth and
keep down this information he had
hired Grubbs to get this man Johnson
to assassinate Holland before court

Manti. license for saloons in the sum of
5000 a year will be required from the
rum sellers. Nanti has two saloons at
present but it is expected that they will
close before taking out license for an
other quarter, as il seems almost impus-
sible to run a saloon business under the
new regulations and high license in Man
Fl. 1t is understood that the saloon men
have also come to that conclusion. Since
learning that Epnraim Will not demand
the high license from saloons before the
beginning of the year 1910. there has been
some talk here about repeating tn pres
ent ordinance of the city council to take
effect Jan. J. 1910.

FRONT OF BUNCH
Result of American Primaries
Indicates denomination OF
the Mayor.

Complete checking Of the returns of
the American party primaries yester-
dav left no doubt of the certainty Of
the denomination Of Bransford on the
first ballot. The only possibility OF his
defeat is the carrying out Of the com
promise partially agreed upon Il rev
DAYS ago to make former Mayor Ezra
Thomson the candidate of the party
by reclamation. The likelihood of this,
however, is very small
The returns of the primaries show
that there are 253 delegates elected on
straight BrauSfOrd tickets, absolutely
pledged to RransfOrd and that there
are about fifty other delegates on
mixed tickets who are pledged to
Rransford. His workers claim at least
ffty of the uninstructed delegates.
This would give him about $50 dele
gates. which would mean his renOmi-
nation in a walk.
Few Votes for Lippman.
Joseph Lippman has only seventy
eight delegates absolutely instructed
for him and II. G. Mcmillan only thir-
ty-eight. Of the uninstruCted dele
gates Mcmillan will draw heavily and
his vote in the convention will prob
ably equal that of Lippman, though
both will be shy great many votes.
The returns, too. show that almost
all Of the so-called Bransford candi-
dates for the other city Offices viii be
nominated. 3. A. Rives, the Brans-
ford candidate for recorder. will re
ceive a vote almost equal to that Of
BransfOrd The Bransford people will
knife City Attorney H. g. Dininny, and
either George +. Goodwin or George
jay Gibson will be named. Rudolph
AIff is beaten for auditor. and ].
Shand Smith Will probably be nOmi-
mated.
OF the present members of the city
council the defeat of Councilman /. D.
Martin in the First and Raybould in
the second is practically a certainty. J.
]. Stewart in the Fourth is not a can
didate for the denomination.

Indications are that this city and

the Americans.
