GREENVHLE CITY ELECTION.
NIuIlon and Marshall to Make Sec
ond Race for Mayor.

The administration in Greenville
was given a slap in the face last
Tuesday in the municipal election.
Mayor G.. II. MahOn, who has Letn
the chief executive for six or eight
years, and who has heretofore run
all over those opposing him, will have
to be in second race with John r.
Marshall, a prominent ice manufac-
turer. The third candidate, J. c..
Milford, was hardly in the running.
The official figures are: Manhon,
544; Marshall, 53S, and Milford, $50.
With one exception, in Ward 2, all
o the old aldermen were either de-
feated or will have to make a second
primary with the chances against
them.
1t is believed that Mahon practi-
cally polled his strength Tuesday and
that the Milford support will be
thrown to Marshall. Marshall ran
only votes behind Mahon, and a
small majority of the Milford votes
is all that is needed to put him safely
in the chair.

DOG IS LOCKED IN JAIL.
Will be Used as Material Witness i'm
Important Case.

Atlanta, July 30.-A spotted white
dog is locked up in the Cobb county
Jail, near here, with an entry on the
police blotter that he is material
witness in an assault case, and is to
remain prisoner Indefinitely. In
the eyes Of the law at least this i'm
prisonment contains no element of
jest, for the life of negro prisoner
depends in part upon the dog. The
animal is believed to be the one
which accompanied the negro who
assaulted Mrs. Exy Brown, near Vim
ings Station, recently. WillardWebb
a negro, is in Atlanta, charged with
the attempt. The dog will confront
his alleged master at the trial next
month, his blind faithfulness being
relied upon to give true testimony.
Mrs. Brown has already identified the
dog.

800 BUSHELS ON Z ACRES.
Abbcvillc Farmer Doesn't Brag, b,,t
He's II Champion Corn Raiser.

(Abbeville Press and Banner.)
j. A. Ellis, of Long Cane township
promises to take the rag off the
bush in the matter of raising corn.
Mr.. ellis is quiet, difIident man
himself, and this information does
not come from him, but from one of
his near neighbors.
Mr.. Ellis has seven acres of corn,
planted and worked on the William
son plan. He used no fertilizer
when the corn was planted, but since
the corn came up he has applied
$500 pounds guano and 400 pounds
of nitrate of soda to it.
The corn Is about nine or ten in
hes in the drill, and it is said that
500 bushels is a safe estimate for
the seven acres.
Many farmers are going to exam
inc the corn and see for themselves
how it has been worked.
If one man can do this another
can do the same thing. There is no
patent right on making corn, and the
farmers want to make the most corn
at the least expense. This particular
crop is being watched with a great
deal of interest. Five hundred bush
els on seven acres, and in Abbeville
county upland fields, too!
