Charleston.-Advices received by F.
W. Wagner & Co. from A. Rice at
Bamberg, were that the first bale of
cotton from that county was being
shipped to this firm by express. This
Is two days later than the first new
cotton for 1913 vas received in Char.
lesion and the first new bale for the
previous year. On August 13 last year
and the season before the first cotton
for the new seasons arrived here.
Barnwell and Bamberg counties have
long held the honors of producing the
first bales of cotton.

eous frown with which he had regard
ed the American changed suddenly to
a look Of pompous pride. He jerkeo
an imperious head at his ragged re
tainer and drew forth his r~eceipt-book
with a flourish.
While he waited for the horse to ap'
pear he turned upon his shopping men
and drove them to their mounts WIFI

to command In the army Of the nber'

little better than tigers in leash.
Mounted upon horses, mules, and
even burros; armed with every con
ceivable weapon from a musket to
standard repeating rifles, they were a
tatterdemalion army, more ut fol
treason, stratagems and spoils" than
the sterner duties Of war.
Bud looked them over closely, well
satisfied to have his back against q
wall, and when the low-browed re
tainer came hurrying back with the
horse he quickly took the worthless
receipt and watched them on their
way. Then, as the last c~amp-follower
! disappeared, he ran for his saddle and
rifle and within a minute he was
mounted and away.

In a long, shambling trot the Yaqui

the free grace Of q wild creature, and
when Hooker pulled down his horse
to keep pace with him he laughed and
motioned him on Taking the lead, he
loped on over hogback and barranca,
| picking out the best trail by instinct
and setting such a pace that Bud was
hard pressed to keep up with him.
He had heard it said that In the

now he knew 1t al true. But why

followed the canyon that swung to the

they mounted a rocky ridge and
looked down upon old Fortuna.

> Fairfax.-A bale of new cotton was
ginned' here afew days ago for J. w.
Williams. The bale weighed $50
pounds, and was consigned to Pope

in this section has been injured some

rainfall but the yield Is going to be
fully up to the ten-year average.

HalIoweIl Boy Making Good.

Friends OF Walter H. Horne, for
mer Hallowell boy. will doubtless be
interested to learn of the success he is
meeting as photographer in northern
Mexico and Texas. AS will be remem-
bered, Mr. Horne was brought up in
this city, the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
ry Horne of Maple street, the former
the senior member of the firm of Hen
ry Horne 4 Co, operating laundry
in Farmingdale. After receiving his
education in the local public schools.
Mr.. Horne went to New York, where
he entered the employ of the Interna-
tional Paper Co. He remained there
but a short while, being forced to re-
tire from this form of employment ow
ing to ill-health. Eight or nine years
ago he went west, where he travelled
all over the southwestern United
States, including Colorado, Nevada,
New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and Cali
fornia, residing first at one place and
then another. With the outbreak of
the Mexican war three years ago he
immediately took his camera and went
to Ell Paso, Tex, where he has made
his headquarters ever since. From
the first he has been close to the scene
of action nearly all Of the time. Many
of his photographs he has sent to his
brother Edward NJ. Horne, also OF the
firm of Henry Horne G. Co.. to whom
the correspondent is indebted for this
article. Among the pictures of the
more notable characters concerned in
the struggle are Madero Huerta. Tel
lez, Villa, Portilla, Diaz and Orozco,
all officers familiar to every reader of
the newspapers. And the scenes de-
picted by the photos give an excellent
illustration of the conditions which
exist in portions of the fighting terri
tory-of corpse lying in a pool of
mud, literally covered with flies; of
trenches being dug and bodies thrown
in as if they were SO much grass seed;
of Col. Enrique Portilla, as he fell
when stood up against wall and ex-

others met their DEATH; of the wo-
men who follow the armies, prepar-
ing the food, and the filth that Is
prevalent wherever a number of men
are campcd. Numerous others taken
on the firing line show actual scenes
Of fighting and slaughter. Among the
finer views are photos Of Madero and
his cabinet, taken April 80, 1911, and a

Fire Nearly Fatal
To Gardiner Woman.

A fire which started in a closet on
the first floor of the lodging house at
% Rutland square Thursday afternoon,
says the Boston Journal, while every
one was out, nearly resulted in the
asphyxiation of Mrs. John Bennett of
Gardiner Me-, a lodger. who had been
visiting next door, and who entered
the building to rescue her personal
effects.
She had been calling on Mrs. Matte
M. Neal at 81 Rutland square, and aft
er smoke began to emerge through the
plastering, she ran into her own lodg-
ing house to see if there was a fire,
realizing that Mrs. Mary st. Martin,
the landlady, has gone shopping.
Opening the front door she saw that
a fire had started in a closet near one
of the furnace pipes. Calling to a man
on the sidewalk to sound an alarm, she
ran to her own room and was packing
her clothing in a suitcase when the
firemen arrived.
They did not know of her presence
and threw open the doors of the burn
ing rooms. The clouds of smoke that
emerged were so dense that she was
unable to fight her way to the stairs,
and, staggering to front window, she
called to the firemen to raise a ladder.
The crew of Ladder 13 raised lad
der to the window and two of the men
climbed through, leading Mrs. Bennett
down the stairs.
