Poor Old Pumpkins.
The State.


Although pumpkins have no niph
place in The States creed and their
reproduction i'm South Carolina
should be carefully avoided it is of
interest to observe a statement of The
laurens Advertiser that William f..
Snow of Laurens county will exhibit
at the State fair a pumpkin weighing
% pounds and another more ineXcus-
ably heavy that tips the scale at G5.
1t must be confessed that the soil of
South Carolina Is so fertile and the
skill of South Carolina farmers so
considerable that excessive pumpkins
can not be prevented if the pumpkin
business is fooled with at all We,
who have no toleraton for pumpkins,
believe that the cost of living must
climb to three times its present dis
graceful and despotic height before
we shall be driven to the depravity of
pumpkin consumption but among tho
900 600 inhabitants of the state that
the census will disclose, there are all
sorts of people. As hitherto admitted.
the 26.3l9 In ColumDia include all
sorts OF people and in some OF them
the pumpkins of LaurenS will arouse
admiration. Al any rate. bigness is a
thing worth while and state fair
without pumpkins at which men, wo-
men and children stand and gaze
would be no State fair at all. These
pumpkins Of Mr.. Snow would probably
fetch fancy prices In Boston, the
pumpkin being perhaps the nearest
approach to fruit that can be pro
duced in New England.

Abbeville. October -. The first gen
uine cold wave of the season struck
Abbeville Yesterday afternoon. and this
morning ice had formed on water i'm
exposed places and the sun was high
in the heaven before 1t had all melted.
Steady wind from the west prevented
the frost from forming. but the cold
was sufficient to nip potato plants. and
as result the potato patches today
are black.
The wind has blown steadily here al
most all day, and this evening the Their
mometer is falling slowly. and there is
every indication OF second freeze to-
night. If the wind settles. the frost
viii probably put an end to the plants
which escaped the freeze last night.
Florence October 29--Thc cold wave
struck FlorCMce with vengeance last
night and the thermometer struck

The result was that killing frost was
observed this morning and vegetation
is blackened and dead. Considerable ice

FAST BOUT ENDS IN DRAW

SUFFRAGE I'M THE PARKS
Commissioner Seems Inclined to
Confne It to the Small Squares.

The suffragettes. who are always look
ing for new worlds to conquer. are now
casting longing eyes on Central Park.
About two weeks ago Mrs. Sofia Loebinger,
secretary treasurer of the National Pro-
gressive Woman Suffrage Union made ap-
plication to Commissioner Slower for per-
nit TO hold a mass meeting In the park.
and since then the Commissioner has been
thinking the matter over. 1t is understood
that other suffrage organizations have ap-
piled for similar permits. and the difficulty
of settling questions of priority has been
suggested as reason for the Commits
eioner's silence. But it was learned yester-
day that he is somewhat more agreeably
disposed to suffrage meetings in Madison
and Union squares and other places of that
kind than to those proposed for Central
Park. In all likelihood the Mall. which
Mrs. I-oebinger thinks would be a fine
place for her meeting. will still be reserved
for concerts while the smaller parks re-
main the stamping grounds of the suffrage
organizations.
