Fine Farming Lands Changing
Hands. The Real Estate Mar
ket Quite Active.
During the past few days there
have been several large land deals
in the county. Over 100000 worth
of property has changed hands and
some fancy prices have been paid.
The largest deal on record is the
house property, two miles west of
Dillon, to ]. S. Thompson. This
tract contains about 700 acres and
is one of the prettiest country
homes in the State. Thursday this
property was sold to Mr.. Thompson
for $75,0O0.0O. Mr.. Thompson
owns a valuable plantation, contain
ing about 500 acres, adjoining Mr..
Stackhouse's plantation and the two
plantations combined make one of
the largest estates in the county.
Mr.. Thompson gets possession Of the
property January LIST, when Mr..
SSNShAoocS wan hhoNS W oooSh "ScS
Georgia, where he has purchased
several thousand acres of fine farm
ing land.
The F. M. Virgins property was
purchased Friday by w. NJ. HameE
This tract contains about 400 acres.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Virgins pur-
chased this property for $500 and
he sold it Friday for $11,50O. This
will give the public some idea of
how rapidly the value of Dillon
county real estate is increasing. Mr.
Virgins has purchased a fine plan
tation near Fayetteville and will
move about January 1st.
r. L. Lane has purchased the
Dove place near Latta from R. J..
Dew. Several years ago Mr.. Dew
purchased this property for $4,000.
The price he received for it was
100000. 1t is a valuable tract
of land and is in a high state of
cultivation.

BOIL WORM WORKS HAVOC.
Cotton Crop of Florence Badly Dam
aged by the Pest.

Special to the State.
Florence, Sept. 22.-Cotton pick
ing is general through the county
now. The crop would have been a
fair one but for the ravages of the
boil worm which has appeared in so
many places. The worm is describ-
ed by Mr.. Willis, the government
farm demonstrator for this county,
as being a brown bug, something
like the June bug, but only about
two-thirds the size of that bug. He
visits the cotton field about sun
down, and the female scarifies the
bolis slightly, depositing an egg for
each. The bolls thus infected may
be taken off and watched, and in
4S hours there is a full grown
worm eating into it. The bug will
visit and infect an Indefinite num-
Der of the bolls, in each of which
the worm will appear.

pr0vement OF FuDnc highways
The people of Horny county are
crying to secure bond issue of
100000 for the Improvement Of
the highways of that county. There
- a measure pending before the
general assembly to order an cleo
ton on the question. 1t is expect
ed that this measure will be passed

there was organized a good roads
and drainage league in that coun-
ty with several of the most influ-
ential citizens as officers. The
league is preparing to hold a good
roads rally on September &c. Com

Bennettsville, Sept. 16.-In the
second primary the race between R..
J. Patterson, Jr., and w. F. Rog-
ers for sheriff was an exceedingly
hard fought contest. Mr.. Patter-
son won by handsome majority.
The contest for this office is not
a regular election or nomination.
The vacancy in the office was oc-
casioned by the resignation OF
Sheriff j. B. Green, who entered
the race for the senate and was
elected without opposition. Gov
Ansel at the request of Sheriff
Green and the county Democratic
s1ecut q committee, agreed to fill
the va tncy in the sheriff's office
by apI nting the candidate recon-
mendet in the regular primary.
Sheriff G reen is anxious for his
successor 10 assume the duties OF
the ofi'cc ga soon as possible, and
1t IL expected that upon the re-
port OF the county executive com
mittee to Gov. Ansel, Mr.. Patter-
SON viii be commissioned. 1t is
probable that the appointment will
be made In the next few days. II
30 Sheriff Green will be ready to
assist Mr.. Patterson in beginning
the work Of the office and in con-
ducting the first term of court that
sits here I'm October.

GEORGIANS IN FATAL DUEL.
Bullets Of Each End Lives OF Both.
Wives Witnesses.

Pelham, Ga, Sept. 21.-Stopping
their bugGies when they met each
other in the public road near here
to-day, Charles Tate and John Mar
chant, both prominent men of this
county, fought a duel with pistols,
both dropping to the ground dead
after half dozen shots had been
fired. The wives of the men sat
in the buggies while the fight was
in progress and saw their husbands
kill each other.
Tate was a bridegroom of two
months and his bride was the wild
ow of Frank Marchant, a brother
Of the man whom he killed and who
killed him to-day. The fight grew
out of an old grudge, which at first
was between Mrs. Tate's first hus-
band and her second husband, later,
it is said, being intensified between
Tate and John Marchant, who op-
posed his sister-in-law's marriage
with Tate, and took up the old
quarrel.
When they met to-day Marchant
called Tate to his buggy. The men
exchanged hardly a word when the
shooting began. Tate fired three
times, every bullet finding its mark.
While the bullets were cutting into
his body, Marchant fired twice, one
bullet striking Tate's hand and the
other passing through his heart.
The widows called aid and the bod
les were removed. 1t was said that
Marchant lived a few minutes after
he fell to the ground. Besides his
wife he leaves two small children
The men lived four miles from this
place, owned good farms, were OF
prominent families and well respect.

Bennettsville, Sept. 2O.-The cot

their views, it is the general opin-
ION that the county will make ap-
