Calhoun Crops Ruined.

The St. Matthews correspondent Of
The News and Courier says: After
one of the most protracted droughts
ever known by the oldest citizens,
this county last week was flooded
with constant and excessive rains.
The corn crop was lost for the want
of rain-particularly that planted on
the Williamson plan. In spite of the
drought, the cotton held up remark
ably we'll in the making, but has now
been seriously injured by the rains
and storms. Rust is invading much
of the sandy land crop and the cot
ton is rotting in many places. This
has greatly injured the price Of the
staple. A bale sold on this market
for seven cents and the most of it is
one cent below the standard price"

HURT BY EXPLOSION.
While Dynamiting Fish One of Party
Severely Injured.

Springfield, Sept. 11.-Special: AS
result of a premature explosion of
a charge of dynamite or dynamite
caps, Dock Gunter lies badly wound
ed and bleeding in the office of DR..
H. A. Odom. 1t appears that early
this morning Willie Johnso., Earn
est Porter, Norris Tyler and Dock
Gunter came down from the neighbor-
hood Of Sally in their automobile,
for a days sport with guns and dy-
Mantle. 1t is stated by Messrs. john
SON and Porter that they were to
hunt squirrels and it appears from
the results that Messrs Gunter and
Tyler were to shoot dynamite for
fish in the South Edisto River. AS
a result of the accident, three of the
fingers Of the right hand Of Mr.. Gum
ter have been blown off, and he is
severely wounded in the side. Mr..
Tyler received a wound on his ear or
face. These people are al promi-
nent and prosperous white citizens,
and are no worse than dozens of 9TH
ers who persist in trying to destroy
the fish of our rivers unlaWfully. The
game and fish laws have never been
enforced in this section, and the pas
sage of same Ihave been resented by
many people who claim the right to
use dynamite for that purpose. The
extent of the wounds Of Mr.. Gunter
are as yet unknown, except that he
has been very painfully wounded.
and will be deprived Of the use OF
three of his fingers for the remained
err of life. Dock Guntsr is known
as a jolly, good natured man, and it
is to be regretted that he ATTEMPTED
