Dillon County in 4th. Circuit.

The Dillon county bill came up
for its second reading in the House
Tuesday. Mr.. Gasque offered an
amendment to tine senate bill, to
place the New County in the 18th
circuit, the senat, bill as passed
having placed the New County in
the 4th. circuit, but the amend
ment was lost by vote of 29 to
66 and thus Dillon county will be-
come part of the 4th judicial cir
cult which embraces the counties
of Chesterfield, Marlboro and OAR
lington. The amendment having
been lost the House adopted the
senate bill and thus the New Coun-
ty bill passed its second reading.
The bill will probably pass its third
reading in the House Friday or
Saturday and as soon as it is sign
ed by the governor the New Coun-
ty of Dillon will be a certainty.
This completes the last chapter of
the fight for Dillon county and be-
fore many days the 43rd. county
will be added to the map of the
state.

Civic League Notes.

The oyster supper in the Town
Hall Friday evening was we'll pat
ronized and a nice little some was
realized.
The program of music arranged
by Misses Baughman and Brew
ser was very much enjoyed by all
present. Special credit is due the
committee, Mesdams Michaux,
Evans and Ewing, who had charge
Of the cooking etc, and the ladies
who so kindly assisted them.
Now that we are living in the
county seat of a New County, we
should take greater interest in
making Dillon a City Beautiful"
and the Civic League hopes to
help the Town Council to accom-
plish something in this direction.
The members of the League are
already making plans to beautifv
the Court House grounds and are
anxious to raise funds ahead for
this purpose
The regular meeting will be
held Thursday afternoon promptly
at 4 o clock in DIR. Michaux's office
(rear of Evans Pharmacy.)
All members are urged to be
present and others cordially in
'vited.

MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
Alma, Mich.
Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus'
Dance and Spasms, are all nerv-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in SO many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a severe
type, persistent use has almost
invariably resulted in complete
cure or lasting benefits, worth
many times the cost of the rem
edy. The best evidence you can
get of its merits is to write to
those who have used it. Get a
bottle from your druggist. Take
it all according to directions. and
if it does not benefit he will re-
turn your money.

The cotton market opened steady at
unchanged prices to decline of points.
which was about in line with the cables.
Trading was only moderately active and
largely in the way of evening-up for
over the government report at noon,
while fluctuations were irregular within
a range OF 4a5 points. Local operators
were generally sellers on the talk of
larger spot offerings. but offerings were
pretty well absorbed within a point or
two Of the opening figures.
Selling became more aggressive as the
hour OF the government report ap-
preached. and prices gradually eased of
TO net loss of 10 points on September
and of 5a7 points on later months. The
Official condition of I'll per cent proved
closely In line with expectations. but was
followed by a quick further break OF Sac
points under continued bear pressure and
liquidation. Leading bulls became big
buyers at the decline. however and the
market later recovered Sac points Of the
loss.

A Wild Alligator's Nest.

frOm Leslie
IAN aiiigators nest is an Interesting
thing said Alligator Joe. wild alliga-
tors build their nests on the bank OF river
or In marshy places. They are made OF
mud, saw grass and leaves and mold. They
are q sort OF natural incubator. for the
eggs. which are laid from thirty-five to
eighty in a nest at one time. are Matched
out by the steam which come up through
the mud as much az by the sun. Around
the nest q pile Of grass is laid. sometimes
as high as six feet, and from q distance
resembles q stack Of hay. The mother
gator has her den near by. She makes
IT by burrowing into q bank OF soft mud.
and sometimes IL is seventy feet or more
inland. The only way to get her out OF
q den like that Is to take long steel
rod and thrust II down the tunnel, which
Is always slanting When the gator feels
the prodding she will come out to see
what the trouble Is. II takes alligator
eggs two months and six days to hatch.
When the little ones come out, the
mother calls them together by a noise
which is something between a cluck and
q Rrunt and they all scramble down
from the nest to her den. II IL Is on the
edge Of a river the den is filled with
minnows. As the mother enters the den
she swtshes her tail around with terrific
force. killing the smallest FISH. and when
they float the little alligators nab them
IA mother alligator will sometimes
have four or Ave dens. and she takes
her brood from one to another. repeating
the swishing process In each one until
the young ones have had a full meal"

BEAR LOOSE, WAS REPORT.
But Cleveland Park Marauder Prov.
ed to Be q Large Dog.

There was much excitement in the
vicinity of the intersection of Cathedral
and Connecticut avenues, northwest
today when a report got abroad that
large bear had broken loose from the
Zoo and was roaming about In that
vicinity.
Several messages were sent to the
superintendent OF the Zoo telling OF
the bear, while IL is stated many par
ents' hearing the report. gathered their
children together in their homes and
looked the doors. Following the receipt
Of the telephone messages employees Of
the Zoo examined all OF the cages. but
a close count showed that not a single
animal was missing.
Later several OF the employees went
TO the rear OF house on Cathedral
avenue near Connecticut avenue. where
IL was reported by telephone a large
animal had broken through a picket
fence and helped himself to the con-
tents OF garbage barrel. Tracks
leading from the place showed the di-
rection taken by the intruder. Investi-
cation proved the supposed bear TO be
a large dog.

WEEKLY RANGE OF PRICES.
LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Like majority OF the earlier days OF
the week, the business OF today on the
Washington Stock Exchange was con-
spicuous principally by its absence. Few
OF the brokers came to the exchange
meeting with orders to execute, and as
result the regular call OF local stocks and
bonds passed practically without incident.
Only five transactions were recorded dur
ing the extire exchange session, and none
of them was carried into large figures.
The exchange meeting today was the last
until next week. the Saturday holidays
having been extended through September.
Six shares of Capital Traction changed
hands in two sales, the prices realized
being on the basis Of 1870 per share, at
which level the stock has been held for
some time past.
There was again a slight demand for
MerRenthaler. two blocks OF q total OF
twenty shares OF this security being sold
on the level of 21I.
The only other transaction Of today on
the exchange was the sale Of ten shares
of City National Bank stock at 40.

AUTOMOBILE LICENSE
IS UPHELD BY COURT
State Within It's Rights to Exact
Fee, Finds New Jerseys High
est Tribunal.

TRENTON. N. j.. September 1.-The
supreme court in an opinion handed
down today sustained the constitutionality
Of the New Jersey automobile law by up
holding the conviction Of Frank J. Paine
Of Long Island, arrested in Paterson. N.
J. for operating an automobile without q
New Jersey license.
Paine made a trip through New Jersey
without procuring a license in order to
bring the interstate commerce feature Of
the law before the courts. The contention
of the automobiles who supported Paine
was that the imposition OF a license fee
was a tax for revenue only. and there
fore a violation Of the constitutional pro-
vision on that subject.
The supreme court holds. however, that
the legislature acted within its preroga-
tive when 1t passed a law putting resi-
dent and nonresident automobiles on an
equal footing.
The case probably will be carried to the
court Of errors and appeals.

st. Chad's Well Rediscovered.
rom the London News.

From the London News.
Another interesting link with the
past is brought to light by the recent
discovery OF the exact spot where lies
st. Chad's well. once a famous chalyb-
cate spring in Kings Cross. In the
eighteenth century people came here
to drink the waters. which were sup
posed to be especially useful in cases
Of dropsy. scrofula and liver conn.,
plants. Gradually, like all fashionable
spas, St Chad's was deserted. and
residential houses. then warehouses
were erected on the site of the WELL
A few days ago. the builders, in
laying the foundations for a new struc-
ture in Gray's Inn road discovered an
arch some twenty feet underground.
and this has been Identified as forming
part Of the old we'll. From the arch to
a spot thirty yards away stretched
the waters once famous for their medi-
cinal properties. 1t has been ascer
tanned that the spring still exists, and
II would be decidedly worth while to
have the water analysed and find
whether 1t still retains its pristin
virtues.
