Gently issued by the State Com
missioner of Agriculture, Kings
tree, the youngest market III the
state, makes a gratifying showing
indeed, both for the month of
August and for the season IL far
as has been reported. From a
little more than one hundred thou
sand pounds sold here in July
to over six hundred thousand up
to September |, is really re-
markable showing, and the aver
age price, too, aS will hc noted,
is nearly double. The quantity of
tobacco brought in shows little OF
no abatement, and We look for
almost as good Il showing for
september aS was made during
the month If August.

Death of Mr. Edward r. Lesesne.

The friends of Mr. Edward R
Lesesne of GreelyviIle were sadden-
ed by news of his death, which oc-
Cured at his home near Greelyyille
on Saturday, September 10. at IL
o o'clock noon, after an illn, ,ss lasting
Just one week. Major Ned Les
esne, as he was familiarly known,
had a wide circle Of friends who are
panied to hear Of his death. He
had visited Kingstree only few
short weeks ago and little did we
think as we bade him goodbye on
that occasion. We should never again
feel the cordial grasp of his friendly
greeting. Major Lesesne is the
last of his immediate family, save
one member, Mr. Mac Lesesne, who
has made his home in Texas for a
number of years. Within the last few
years two of his sisters. Mrs A M
Pendergrass and Mrs M J Porter,
have been called away.
Major Lesesne was 70 years of
age and was a man of striking in
d!:iduality. Suave and courteous,
yet firm in his convictions, he gained
the friendship of many and COM
manded the respect even of those
with whom he differed in opinion.
He was member Of the first
comnany that went from Williams
burg county to join the Confederate
army, Co B, S C V, Col Gregg's
Regiment, and his comrades all at
test to his loyal and gallant service
rendered in defence of his country
throughout the momentous four
years conflict. After the serren-
Ier at Appomattox, he walked home
from Virginia and settled down on
the old homestead, pursuing the
avocation of farmer, and directing
his energies to the welfare Of mis-
community, thus serving h C uatry
as patrioticallyin time of peace as
on the battlefield. Being man of
fine intelligence, who kept posted en-
current events, he was entertaining
in conversation and his wartime re-
were especially interest
ing and informing.
He represented Williamsburg
in the State Legislature
some years ago, and always took an
active part in local politics.
The funeral and interment took
rlace on Sunday morning at II o'clock
at Mt HOPE Baptist church, ,fI
which he was a consistent member,
the services being conducted by Rev
w NJ Rankin. the pastor, and Rev
R L Grier, the pastor of Greelyville
Presbyterian church.
He is survived by his wife and six
childrt n, besides a large number of
other relatives in Williamsburg and
Clarendon counties.
May the peace that cometh only
from an abiding faith in the mercy
and loving-kindness of our Lord
dwell in the hearts of the afflicted
ones.

New York, July 22.-Customs Col lector Loeb expressed great pleasure at the arrest of Hollander, who is bad ly wanted here. Hollander was the head of the customs brokerage firm of Alexander Hollander & Co.,, S2 Wall street. He handled importations through the customs house for persons who made purchases abroad.
 The transaction which led to the discovery of the alleged frauds oc- cured in connection with an automo- bile bought in Europe by Henry Clews, the banker. Clews turned the papers over to Hollander, placing 8 value of $1,S50 on the car When the papers reached the customs house in charge of James McGrath, one of Hol- lander's clerks, the papers showed the car was worth $S50, the $1,00O having been removed with acids.
 McGrath was arrested and detect ives raided Hollander's office. An in- vestigation of his books, 1t Is said, showed that the government had been defrauded out of $500,O00.
 Hollander fled to Europe.

Crew Eiuhts Fire at Sea.

San Francisco, July 22.-Blackened and charred, her decks warped, the British tramp steamer St. Nicholas, sailed through the Golden Gate from Antwerp. When 1,S00 miles off the South American coast, her commander discovered smoke pouring from the ventilators. When hatch No. 3 was opened smoke and flames shot up and part of the cargo in the shelter deck was found a mass of fire.
 All that day and the following night the fight to save the ship continued. Finally, the fire was seemingly stamped out and the crew sank ex- hausted on the decks

Fled From Gendarme.

London, July 22.-Although Scotland Yard is not inclined to place much faith in the story, there Is much public agitation and a disposition to believe that Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, wanted for the murder of Belle Elmore, has escaped to Spain, as suggested in dis patches from Vernet-les-B Bans, France.
 It appears that a man closely re- sembling the description of Crippen was seen in Vernet-lesBains on Sun day evening. He registered at a hotel there as Henri Tarbot, Rentier, of Narbonne" This man appeared to be greatly disturbed while in the French morning drove to the Villefranche sta tion and bought a ticket for Mont Louis.
 Having to wait for train "Tarbot" obtained lunch. While he was eating 1t a gendarme made his appearance, whereupon "Tarbot" hastily aban- doned the meal and jumped onto the train, which had come up.
 Unknown in Narbonne.
 Later inquiries developed that Tar bot" had telegraphed on to Mont-Louis for a private carriage to be in waiting to convey him to Puigcerda, fortified Spanish town about ten miles away at the foot of the Pyrennes. It was also ascertained that no such person as Henri Tasbot, Rentier," was known in Narbonne
 The presence of "Tarbot" and the suspicion that he really was Dr. Grip pen was conveyed to the gendarmerie by NJ. Kischle, director of the Vernet- les-Bans hotel on Sunday evening, but despite this warning the man got away.
 If Crippen really was the man seen at Vernet it is apparent that he has parted company with Ethel Leneve, possibly as a measure of safety. An other theory is that he may have mur dered the women when she became an encumbrance or a source of danger.

ALEXANDER HOLLANOER, IMPORT BROKER, DENIES CHARGE
 AND WILL RETURN.
AGENT FOR HENRY CLEWS
IL Is Alleged Valuation on Papers Were c anned With Acid-Co- lector Loeb PIeacea Over
 the Arrest.

Naples, July 22.-It is expected that Alexander Hollander, the former New York broker, arrested here on the charge of defrauding the United States government out of $500,000 in customs duties, will waive extradition proceed ings and agree to return to New York on the first steamer.
 Hollander was stopping at the Par ker hotel here under the name Of James Bonhomme, when apprehended by the Italian police at the instiga- tion of Secret Service Agent Poulin, who has been on his trail since he dis appeared from New York last Janu- ary. Hollander had only $1,000 with him when he was arrested He strong ly denies his guilt, and declares he will be able to prove his innocence.
 The American embassy at Rome all ready has asked for his extradition, and as Hollander is an American and apparently willing to return, it is thought there will be no complica- tions.

No relief from the high taxes for
state purposes is in sight if Governor
Wesley is renominated. Mr.. Vessey
candidly says that he has no apologies
to make for the frightful increase in
state expenditures in the last three
years. Still if these expenditures are
continued for two years more the state
will have to issue more bonds. Other
western states are getting out of debt
while South Dakota is spending more
money than is realized even from the
increased taxation, and so far as the
average man can see, the people are
not getting their money worth. Argus
Leader.
