A Tragedy in a Smoker.

The smoking car was so dull that
when the stout man produced bottle
his seatmates-three of them-smll-
ed in joyous relief.
who's gotta corkscrew?" he de-
manded.
Nobody responded. The stout man
looked around. Across the aisle was
a thin person in shabby black suit
and a white tie. He was reading, in
a short-sighted way, gilt-top volume
with a limp cover.
The stout man leaned forward.
"Betcha a tenner tn parson has
corkscrew," he hoarsely whispered.
Done" said the man with the
gray side whiskers.
The stout man leaned across the
aisle.
BEG pardon,' he said, "but have
you such a thing as a corkscreW
about you?"
The man with the Whlte tfe neSl-
tated. For a moment he seemed
panied. Then he flushed little and
reaching down into his pocket drew
out the article they wanted.
, Ten minutes later the stout man
said he was going back to look for
friend. At the next station the white
tie man gathered up his goods and
chattels and left the car. Then came
the conductor.
Did Fatty Frost and the parson'
show you any of their team work."
he laughingly asked.
Team work." echoed the side
whiskered man.
"They are the cleverest swindling
pair in the country" said the conduc-
tor and passed on.

PICKEREL STEALS ROD.
Takes E tel Mans Line and Waits
Late to be Caught.

A hotel manager just back from a
fishing trip at Long lake, in the Ad-
irondacks, tells a story of pickerel
that stole his line and rod, carried
them into deep water and there hung
around for three-quarters of an hour
to give him another chance. The
manager says he can produce wit
nesses if necessary, according to the
New York Sun.
"Of course the lake is full of pick
erel,' he prefaced, "but my luck had
been poor until one day a New York
school teacher volunteered to take
me to a place where I could get a
good bite. He rowed for two hours.

$50 feet of line trailing. 1t became
monotonous, so I stuck the rod be-
hind me while I took out my pipe.
81 had just struck a match when
suddenly my rod was jerked out OF
the boat. The heavy reel took it to
the bottom, and I could see it resting
in four feet of water. We were near
Judge Green's camp, and as neither
of US had any fancy for going over
board we decided to get man to re-
cover the rod. We didn't get man
but found a hoe. Then returning to
the spot where the rod had gone

ed.
"My companion was for giving up
the search, but was positive that rod
was somewhere in the neighborhood.
Knowing the instinct of fish to
make for deep water when struck I
directed my companion to row
straight out from shore.
eve found the rod lying at the
bottom in eight feet of water. The
hoe handle was just long enough
with the aid of my arms to get it un-
der the rod, which 1 raised to the sur
face. The reel was stuck and l be-
gan to pull the line in hand over
hand.
"Suddenly l felt jerk. The thiey-
ing pickerel was still on the end. I
had to work him carefully, and as
was sure l could not land him other

Taken to Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 1O.-Fearing a
demonstration similar to the lynching
in Cumming to-day, the five prison
ers held in Marietta in connection
with an assault on a white woman
at Cumming last week, were spirit
ed to Atlanta tonight.
The prisoners were taken to Ma
rietta Saturday after a clash between
whites and negroes at Cumming was
averted by the arrival of two COM
panies of State militia. They were
arrested in connection with an as
sault last Thursday on a white Wo-
man and were to have been taken to
Cumming to-day for trial. Bitter feel
ing against the prisoners led the Of
fcials to rush them to Atlanta.

Union county's handsome new
court house was dedicated last week
with appropriate ceremonies. The
building and furnishings cost nearly
100000.
1t will be pleasant news to the
many friends of the Carlisle Fitting
School that Mrs. Stella Bronson will
be matron of the girls hall the COM
ing session. The school is fortunate
in securing her services.
c. w. Birchmore, editor of the
Wateree Messenger at Camden. was
elected county superintendent of ed
ucation in the recent primary, and
Col. E. H. Aull, editor of Newberry
Herald and News, is in the second
race for the same Office in his coun-
ty, with bright prospects of success.
You can't keep working men down.
State Chairman Jno. Gary Evans
has issued an appeal to the people
of the State to contribute for the e1-
penses of the investigation OF the
recent primary. The committee has
not the funds to make the investiga-
ton, and must depend on those who
desire honest elections to come to
the rescue. Contributions should be
sent to Col. Willie Jones, treasurer OF
the committee.
At a meeting of the State execu-
tive committee, held in Columbia last
Thursday, a committee was appoint
ed to thoroughly investigate the re-
cent primary, and a resolution, Offer
ed by Hon. R. I. Manning, of Sumter,
was adopted, postponing the primary
for State officers until the matter
was fully investigated. Therefore,
State officers were not voted for
in the primary held Tuesday OF
this week, and only county con-
tests were settled. 1t seems to be
the purpose of the committee to
probe the whole matter to the bot
tom. We hope this will be done.

sToREkEEPER SHOT INTRUDER:
Negro Likely to Die from Wounds
Inflicted by George Creticos.

With a policeman stationed at his
bedside in the Roper Hospital for
fear that he might escape, Samuel
Moultrie. a colored man, who was
shot in the nose and left hand by
George Creticos, white, early yester-
day, was reported last night as being
in a serious condition, and with lit
tie chance of recovery. The shoot
ing occurred at 161 Rutledge avenue,
where, It is alleged, Moultrie broke
into the house and was shot while
searching the premises. If Moultrie
should recover he will face charge
of burglary and larceny.
The robbery of Creticos's store, at
161 Rutledge avenue, took place
early yesterday morning. Creticos,
who sleeps on the premises, says
that on the night of the robbery he
locked the door. About 4 o'clock in
the morning, however, he was reused
by mysterious noises. He listened for
a while and heard some one walking
around the store. Creticos got up and
began an investigation. He secured
his pistol and went into the store,
where, he says, he found the negro.
Creticos stated that as soon as the
negro discovered that he was corner
ed he made an attempt to attack the
storekeeper.
AS the negro advanced on him,
Creticos fired twice. The first bull
let passed through the mans left
hand. The second, which, it is
thought, will prove fatal, lodged in
the nose. The negro was immedi-
ately taken to the Roper Hospital
and the bullet probed for. The op-
Grafton, however, was unsuccessful,
and it is believed that the ball, after
entering the bridge of the nose,
glanced off and went down into the
mans stomach.
Entrance into the Creticos store
was effected by smashing in one of
the window glasses. The only thing
of any value taken by the robber was
one dollar in currency, which was
found on Moultrie's person.
Creticos appeared before Magls-
trate O'Shaughnessy yesterday morn
ing and swore out warrant for the
arrest of Moultrie on the charge of
burglary and larceny. Owing to the
negro's serious condition, the prelim-
mary hearing was postponed.-News
and Courier, September 5th.

GREATEST OF ALL HARVESTS.
Money Value This Season $65, 1000, .
600 in Excess of Total Last Year.

900 in Excess or IOtal Last year.
Inquiries are made for an explana-
ton of the manner in which the
money value of the crops of this
year is to be realized, and by whom
it is to be received and there are fur
ther inquiries for information wheth-
er or not the estimate of S9,000,000,-
600 be correct, and if this sum be
the amount received, how is it to be
distributed.
These questions show the interest
Of the public in the details, so far
as money is concerned, of what Is
likely to prove, on the whole, the
greatest American harvest, in mon
ey value. Of course, the greater part
of the money received from the sale
Of crops will be paid over to the
farmers who have cultivated with
such good results this year. Yet it
is impossible to make any estimate
of the net amount the farmers will
receive. They must pay a good many
million dollars to the harvest hands.
These payments must be made in
cash. The farmers may have large
deposits in the aggregate, upon which
they can draw for these payments.
But the magnitude of the crops will
entail banking accommodations
which will be readily granted. That
involves discount charges. There are
also storage scharges, transportation
expenses, and many incidentals which
will cut considerably into the aggre-
gate sum received by the farmers.
All sorts of estimates have been
received in the past of the net re-
turns Of the American farmers as
result of their marketing of the har-
vests for any one year. Should net
returns be no greater than 10 per
cent. then the American farmers will
have to the good between $900,OOO,-
900 and s1,O00,O00,000. What the
means for general prosperity it is not
necessary to explain. The net gains
of the farmers of the South for the
past ten years have made much OF the
industrial and commercial growth OF
that section possible. 1t is also the
opinion of banking authorities that
