WELCOME SHOWERS
FELL HERE SUNDAY
RAIN REPORTED IN OTHER
PARTS OF COUNTY, ALSO.
COOLER WEATHER.

This city was visited by splendid
rain Sunday, which began falling
about 1880 a. M, and continued prob
ably three-quarters of an hour, follow
ed by another shower about one
o'clock. The volume of rain was not
very large but was sufficient to lay
the dust for some time as the streets
were still quite muddy this morning.
The rain, according to reports,
seems not to have been general
throuout the county, but 1t is thought
that east and northwest of of Column
bia, considerable rain must have fall
en-. A heavy shower is reported at
Theta, and the quantity was sufficient
to start the small streams in that
locality. Up to three o'clock only a
Sprinkle" had occurred at Groveland.
The rain was accompanied by some
lightning, and the air has been much
fresher, and cooler since, and 1t has
been of great benefit, although the
quantity was not as large as desired,

ard sullivan was instantly killed by
lightning Sunday, morning at the
Methodist church at Donelson, this
county, in the midst Of the morning
services. The big storm arose imne-
diately after the beginning OF the
seryices, and the young man stepped
outside the church to see that MS
horse did not become frightened at
the electrician disturbance. JUST as
he re-entered the door, Hghtr ing
struck the building, tearing of Ior-
ton OF the plastering in the vestibule'
and passing directly through the body
of Sullivan. The funeral services
were conducted this afternoon from
the home of Rev. Mr.. Cook, near Dom
elson, and the burial will take place at
Mt. Olivet.
Although several people were stun
ned. no one else was injured serious
" by the lightning, and the building

PHENOMENAL RISE N
THE PRICE OF IRISH
POTATOES RECORDED
MARKET QUOTATIONS REACH
NINETY CENTS PER 5UsHEL.
BIG DEMAND.
SUPPLY IS VtRY SHORT NOW
Late Frost and Succeeding DrOuths
Make It Hard on Farmers and Truck
Growers-Priee Goes Up slxt Cents
Per Bag In TWO Weeks.
(Friday's Dailey.)

With a rise of sixty cents per bag
in two weeks, the price of potatoes
is rapidly forging to the top. The
rice, as quoted this morning is S2.25,
rise of 25c over the price Thursday,
and of SOC over the price of the first
Of the week. The quotations last
week were still lower, being recorded
at s1.65.
These prices are per bag. A bag OF
potatoes contains two and one half
bushels. This makes the price per
bushel ninety cents, the highest price
in the past two years. With a scar
city in the, crop, the prospects are for
another rise almost Immediately. This
is the old crop, although the second
crop will be unusually light on account
of the extremely dry weather, which
ruined the young plants before they
had time to mature.
Wisconsin and Michigan have been
unusually slow in shipping their pro-
ducts in this line this year, and the
consequence is that there is abso-
lutely nothing doing except the sales.
The demand is heavy.
The late frosts and the succeeding
drouths have made this very hard
season on farmers and truck growers
throughout the country.
Later developments In the potato
market will be watched with interest.
Unless shipment is received within
the next few days, the price will prob.
ably reach $3.50 or $2.75 per bag The
high price record will likely be brok.

STRONG SERMON
SUNDAY MORNING
BY DR.. CAPERS
RECTOR or EPISCOPAL CHURCH
TALKS TO STUDENTS OF IN
sTITUTE AND C. N. A.
TEXT TAKEN FROM JEREMIAH, IL
Impresses the Necessity Of Looking
After the Little Things Of Life In
Order to meet the Requirements of
the Greater.

/ Rev. w. ,. Capers delivered a spec
ial and strong sermon Sunday morn
ing at st. Peters church for the ben
eft Of the young ladies of Columbia
Institute and the cadets of Columbia
Military Academy
The speaker took for his text the
twelfth chapter and fifth verse of Jer-
emiah "Ifthou hast run with the
footman, and they have wearied tbee,
then how canst thou contend With
the horses? and if in the land Of Leace
wherein thou trusteth, they wealied
thee, then how wilt thou do in the
dwelling of Jordan?"
He used many illustrations in the
delivery of the sermon to carry the
meaning of his text, among them be-
ing the son Of the man who had asked
his father for division of his prop
erty and who went into a foreign
land and spent in riotous living and
WHEN ne E0JuTuSu HIS ldlucI I0CNlf0O
him and killed the fatted calf. But the
son had undergone the humiliation OF
humbling himself to his father and
in the sight of the Lord in order to
gain favor with his family. In order
to be influential and Christian men
and women in the land in which one
lives, they must take care and look
after the little things, be able to run
with the footmen so THAT when the
time comes for the more strenuous
labor with the running with the
horses we will be equal to the occas-
ion.
There were about one hundred or
more students present to hear the SER
mon and in addition were a goodly
number of the members of the congre-
cation.

IS STILL
OFFICIAL SPOKESMAN
FOR MACHINE GANG
GOVERNOR SHOWS THAT He HAS
NO IDEA or EFFAclNe

MALIGNANT ATTACK ON HOOPER
Believed That belongs Withdrawal
Is part Of the Scheme to Send Ham
to the Senate if the Liquorites Can
Control.
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 24.-That
Patterson has no idea Of effacing him
self from the politics of Tennessee
nor of releasing his hold on the ma
chine gang is fully demonstrated by
his so-colled Reply to Hooper" In
this the Governor makes malignant,
bitter, vindictive and thoroughly Pat
tersonesque attack on the young
standard bearer OF the forces of GOOD
government.
The belief is general since Patter-
sons latest illumination that he ex-
poets to dominate the October conyen-
ton and while he may not be the NOM
inee of that body he is going to be
prominent in the campaign this fall
and will try to go to the Senate. Pat
terson's ambition is by no means salts
fed and he will probably take the
stump for the Patterson nominee and
seek to make himself the hero OF the
Octoberists, as the advocates OF the
machine are called.
Patterson's so-ocalled reply 10 char
acteristic of Patterson. He charges
Hooper with slandering him and de-
MES that the prison has been run at
loss, on the other hand in the face OF
the record, has the nerve to claim that
it has made more profits under his ad-
ministration than ever before. The
books show that under the adminiEtra-
ton of Patterson's predecessor the
profits were over $25O,000 So far this
year the loss has been over $1,000.
Perhaps the most astounding fea-
ture of the alleged reply is the state
ment of Ham that there is no pardon
brokerage in Tennessee. That is like
a criminal denying his guilt afte: he
has been convicted and the sentence
approved by every court in the land.
The people of Tennessee on August 4
convicted Paterson of pardon broker
age and that is closed incident.
belong Rice laboring under the mem
tai halucination that he got nomina-
ton for Treasurer from the people,
makes bold to surrender the same. 1t
is believed that the machine will make
all of it's puppet nominees do the same,
thereby opening the way for Patter-
son to go to the Senate in the place Of
McMillin, that is of course provided
the liquor and pardon brokerage forces
control the Legislature of Tennessee.
Harvey Hannah would like to lave
the nomination. No one wants 1t
but him and he will probably get It.
However, the astute machine leaders
realize that it is going to be hard
matter to rally their followers to a
candidate who abused and denounced
them on every stump in the State.
Extracts from Hannah's speeches In
the recent campaign will make mighty
good reading

A Unique Village.

The little village OF Buckland-ln-
the Moor has many claims to dis.
tinction. Il has a population OF
fewer than one hundred. and entirely
belongs to the Rev w. p. Bastard,
who lives at auckland Court and who
celebrated his golden wedding by en-
tertaining his tenants. Time was
when the "blg house" was looked
upon as comprising half the popula-
ton. auckland is also unique mas
much as II has no public house, no
policeman, no physician, no clergy
pan and no pauper. 1t Is in the
Ashburton church living, and all old
people there are pensioned by the
estate owner.-London Standard.
