TWO MEN CAUSE ALARM.
suspicious Characters Spend Night at
Privateer station. t

Saturday night two suspicious char
acters were noticed hanging around
the Privateer station and their ac-
tions caused some OF those who no.
uced them considerable alarm, as
the two men were supposed to answer
description OF the Parr Shoals rob-
bers
The report Of the affair is that the
two men hung around Mr.. w. E.
kolb's store for several hours, SEEM
ingly having no object in view and
nothing to do. Mr.. Kolb became
suspicious and telephoned TO the po-
lice and sheriff at Sumter TO send
some one out to investigate, but no
assistance was sent him. Later one
OF the men asked Mr.. Kolb to allow
him To put up his money in Mr..
kolb's safe, but this Mr.. Kolb refus-
ed TO do. saying that he did not like
to keep money for strangers. They
then asked him to allow them to
spend the night at his house, which
he also refused to do. being thor
oughiy convinced by now that the men
intended some harm to him or some
body In the neighborhood. One OF
the men went in the back OF the store
and drew out a revolver. carefully ex-
amining II to see that IL was in good
condition. The men then loafed
around awhile longer. until Mr. Kolp
had some men living in the vicinity
aroused and set three OF them to
watch his store during the night,
while he guarded his house.
The men then went TO the station
and spent the night there, being
guarded all the time. They fire.
quently made excursions about the
place to see that no one was there.
and one OF them lay I'm the door OF
the station. seemingly on guard, all
night
In the morning after the train
went by the two men were seen TO
leave In the direction Of Remini. They
we're walking. Later two men answer
Ing the same descriptions were seen
on the Northwestern Railway tracks
going In the direction of Camden.
One OF the men was rather old and
the other was young. Their suspic.
ius actions caused considerable alarm
Saturday night. and on one was sor-
ry to know that they had gone the
next morning.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING BEGUN.
To He Completed Ia Six weeks--Play
q Big Success-Presented at Other
Piaces-Is Delegation up Tree"

Dalzell. Sept. 9.--Cotton picking is
on now I'm earnest and colored peo-
pie are happy. This is the season
Tor them to make their money. The
farmers around Dalzell are wearing
broad smiles since cotton went TO
IL t-2 cents. We all hope for good
prices this year. as the crop in Tex
as and other western States is short
and unless the bear element comes in
and chisels us out OF our dues we all
expect to be in a good humor.
A protracted meeting commences
at the Baptist church tonight. Rev.
w. j. Wilder is conducting il, assist
ed by the Rev. Mr.. Gordon of Pax
VILE. s. G.
Our new school building is now in
course Of erection and the contractor
tells Us that unless something un-
foreseen comes in the way, he will
have II ready for occupancy in about
six weeks. The house, when compile
ed. will reflect credit upon the COM
munity and would on any other rural
section. In fact our people have de-
cided not to play second fiddle to any
country school within the county, and
with that determination fixed in their
minds. the fruit of their efforts will
soon be realized.
The play at Dalzell on Friday even
Ing surpassed expectations. 1t was
30 much enjoyed by the spectators,
that many of them are requesting the
second presentation. The actors and
actresses were OF local talent and each
one acquitted himself and herself
with distinction. The troup will be
at Rembert tonight at $50. 1t will
be at Oswego on Wednesday evening
the 10th inst at $50 and at Wedge
field on Friday evening the 18th inst
at $50. Those who are yet to see
and hear II, have something rich in
store for themselves.
Some OF our people think that Gov
Biease has our legislative delegation
up a tree. IL the contest now on is
decided In favor of the dispensary.
He has openly declared that he would
not appoint any one to position ex-
cept his political friends. Our rep
resentatives being anti -Blease, will
have to stir lively in their recon-
mendations for dispensary commits
sioners, or else trot in line when he
cracks his whip. OF course. 1t is up
to the boys whether or not they will
yield to his dictation.

WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING
AUGUST.
Month Was Unusually Dry and Rain
fall Unevenly Distributed.

Columbia, Sept. 9.-Continued dry
weather over the major portion of me
section has placed the month high
In the group of dry Augusts, there
being but two previous months of
the name with smaller amounts oil
precipitation. The thermal conditions
were near the seasonal average, with
no marked extremes, except in few
local instances.
Temperature.-Mont mean, 1873,
or OIL degree above the normal, 0.3
degree below the August mean of last
year, 1,S degrees above the lowest
August mean in 1904 and Al degrees
below the highest August mean in 19-
90.
Highest temperature, 104 degrees at
Saluda, Saluda County, on the 9Th.
Six previous Augusts had temper
atures in excess of the highest of the
month just closed, the maxium record
for the month being 107 degrees at
Aiken, Aiken County, on August T.,
1905. The hottest weather of the
month occurred generally during the
firxt days and on the 18th and 18th.
Lowest temperature, 90 degrees at
Spartanburg, Spartanburg County, on
the 25th. Lower temperatures than
this occurred in some Of the sections
during three previous Augusts, the
minimum record being 46 degrees at
Aiken County, on August 26, 1905.
The coolest period of the month was
between the 18th and 10, when the
greater number of lowest temperatur-
es were recorded.
Precipitation.-Aver total for the
Section, 3.S3 inches, or 2.72 inches
below the normal, Ola inch above the
August average for last year and
1.50 inches above the minimum Au-
gust average in 1900. Precipitation
was irregularly distributed over the
Section; the heaviest rains fell in the
upper Saluda and Broad watersheds,
I'm the region from the Edisto River
southwark and in the northeastern
border counties; in RichlanN Lee,
Sumter. Lancaster and portions of
adjacent counties the monthly total
amounts ranged below inches.
Greatest amount at any single station
during the month, S.7S inches at
Chappells. Newberry County; Of this
amount, 4.19 inches fell on the 5th
and 9Th, the greatest 24-hour rian-
fall of the month; least monthly
amount, 0.76 in. at Health Springs,
Lancaster county. While showers were
frequent from the 3rd TO the 9th and
about the 2Srd, the rains can not be
said to have been confined to any par
ticular period of the month. The
average number of days with O.O1 inch
or more of rainfall was s.
Rivers.-On account of the COM
paratively dry condition of the ground
and the irregular distribution of rain
fall in the several watersheds, the
rivers throughout the Section contin-
ued low during the month.
Miscellaneous. - The prevailing
winds were from the south.

Camden and Manning are suffering
as much from petit robberics as is
sumter. II seems that il would be a
good thing or the citizens of these
Eowns to form "a protective league
against the thieves. as i'm most cases
they have been able to escape the
vigilance Of the officers of the law.

BETTER FEELING
IN GRAIN TRADE
Present Prices Expected to
Hold Out and Possibly to
Work Higher

CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-Sentiment in
the grain trade IL more favorable to
the buying side on breaks. 1t is the
general belief that all bearish condi-
tons have been discounted for the
present and that with q materially
leseened selling pressure prices are
expected to hold around the present
level and possibly work higher should
there be any important bullish de-
velopments.
The buying OF wheat for several
days has been OF better class. and 1t
does not come out on bulges as here
tofore. The report about the India
crop yesterday was regarded as most
significant. The light offerings Of
corn and oats by the country are
looked upon as more favorable to
holders OF speculative contracts. All
weak longs are said to have been
forced out and those who are In the
market say they are able to stay.
The heavy covering by shorts in
the last three days Is regarded as a
weak point by traders who are In
clined to be bearish. 1t IL said, how
ever. that the short interest in corn
IL 10 large that 1t can not be covered
in two weeks.
