MANY Bales of Cotton Marketed.

Lexington.-Hundreds Of bales OF
cotton have been marketed here dur
ing the last few weeks, the average
price being 10 IL cents. The Lexing,
ton ginnery has been running pretty
regularly during the last two weeks,
something almost unheard of before
in this section at this season OF the
year. However, there are a number OF
fields of cotton throughout the coun'
ty that have not had a boil of last
years crop picked, and in some in.
stances farmers are taking advantage
of the sunshiny days and are still
picking whatever it. is possible for
hands to get into the fields.

Nav Effect the Rice Crop.

Charleston.-Some fears have beer
expressed for the possible effect which
the flood stages of the rivers will
have upon the coming rice crop, but it
was said that the farmers have not
yet planted and there need be no ap'
prehension on this score. Planting Of
rice usually starts about the middle to
the end of March, but with the severe
ly wet weather the work has been de-
layed, and il there should be any
washing Of the lands with the flood
reaching the crest ~ the next week or
ten days it will not do any harm.

CHAPTER VII!.-Continued.

Then the grin died away, and his
face grew bleak and serious. LeaV-
ing out his interests in the several
Western reclamation projects (Which
were still assessing heavily, he was a
ruined man. But harder hit than this
was his pride. He had been so easy.
They had gold-bricked him. and he
had nothing to show for 1t. The SIM
plest farmer would have had docu-
ments, while he had nothing but a
gentleman's agreement. and a verbal
one at that. Gentleman's agreement!
He snorted over it. John Dowsett's
voice, just as he had heard it In the
telephone receiver, sounded in bis
ears the words, "On my honor as a
gentleman" They were sneak-thieves
and swindlers, that was what they
were, and they had given him the
d~oublecross. The newspapers were
right. He had come to New York to
be trimmed, and Messrs. Dowsett, Let
ton and Guggenhammer had done 1t.
He was a little fish, and they had
played with him ten ~days-ample time
in which to swallow him, along with
his eleven millions. OF course, they
had been unloading on him all the
time, and now they were buying Ward
Valley back for a song ere the mar
ket righted itself.
And Daylight sat and consumed
cocktails and saw back in his life to
Alaska, and lived over the grim years
in which he had battled for his eleven
millions. For awhile murder ate
at his heart. and wild ideas and
sketchy plans Of killing his 5etrayers
flashed through his wind. Daylight I'M
locked his grip and took out bis auto
matte pistol-a big Colts A. He re-
leased the safety catch with his thumb.
and, operating the sliding outer bar

through the mechanism. The eigh

refilled the clip. threw a cartridge into
the chamber. and with the trigger at
