The Great White Light.

We are not adyerting our local
electriclplant or praising the merits
of any plant in particular when we
say that we would like to see every
residency in Kingstree lighted by
electricity. Every business house,
work shop and professional Office
should also be suppliei with the
light that never fades.
Yes, and we venture a little fur
ther, we would like to see electric
lighting wire strung out to every
farm house in the county. The day
of the tallow candles has passed;
the old coal oil lamps are in their
decendency, electricity is rapidly
replacing them. The old fashioned
hand lantern is going. too, its place
being taken by little storage bat
teries, inventions that one can car
ry conveniently in his vest or hip
pocket when not in use.
Electricity should be no more eX-
pensive today than the oil lamp or
tallow candle, while its effectiveness
is increased thousand fold.
The way of the modern world is
lighted by electric rays at the mere
pressing of a button or the shifting
of q switch. Let's modernize. Let's
make a continuous current neces-
sary. Let's light up.

Governor Manning Monday res
pited the death sentence of Joe NAL
loy,a negro, from August l8 to Sep
tember 29, so that the case can be
heard by the Board of Pardons. NAL
10y was convicted from Marlboro
countv during the July. 1915. term
of court for the murder of Prentiss
Moore Thanksgiving day, 1910. He
had had two trials and the case had
been reviewed by the State and Fed
eral supreme courts. Sensational af-
fidavits have been filed with Gov
ernor Manning duplicating two white
men in the murder, which, if true,
absolves Malloy from guilt.

What has this town ever done for
you? 1t has fed you, and clothed
you, and housed you, and given you
employment, and kept the wolf from
your door for these many years.
1t has done more. 1t has furnish
ed you recreation, and enjoyment,
and has guided you safely over
many of the stones that beset the
pathway of life.
1t has praised your good deeds
and has thrown the mantle of char
ity over your questionable ones.
1t has been, and is, your home.
But what have you done for the
town?
You are making your money here,
but where are you spending it?
Are you buying goods from the
local dealer. who pays taxes and
otherwise contributes literally to
the upkeep of the community and
your home, or are you sending your
money away to some catalogue
house that wouldn't lend you a five
cent piece to save your soul from
purgatory?
And now you have reached the
point where we want you to stop
and think. and think hard, and to a
sane, sensible and patriotic purpose.

HAPPINESS.
By EMMA McGINTY.

By EMMA McGINTY.
When an eye sparkles at your sight,
When face wreathes into bright
smiles,
When a timid hand touches so light
Your own. Love shining in soft
eyes.
When you inhale perfume of flowers
sweet,
When you win smiles from chill
dren sweet,
When you forget all cares and sor-
row,
When you smile on dawn Of to-
morrow.
When you leave behind failures in
life,
When you help others DER life's
strife,
When your life fades cloudless to
rest,
Then you find your own happiness
true happiness.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. Aug. 5-With sunshine in the South
west, the wheat bears today took on new courage
and sold the market downward. The fact was
clearly demonstrated that the bulls are ANYTHING
but lovers Of sunshine at this particular time
The seasoned wheat specrator now sees that we
are TO have three crops of wheat at one and the
same time Tbs wheat raised in the So7Ithwes. is
still in the hands Of farmers. the spEing wheat
crop is already being harvested in PARTS Of the
Northwest and the Canadian crop will soon be
ready for market.
The best crop experts after investigating the
back-rust reports in the spring wheat country
state that the claims Of damage thereby are far
from actual facts. Reports from the Canadian
Northwest were generally satisfactory. 1t is gen
orally believed in wheat circles that not until the
receipts become mrsh heavier will there be any
permanent pressure Some advise great caution in
making large commitments on either side of the
market because Of the uncertain weather condi-
tIops
Losses were shown Of \ to &c in corn and &C
To lisc in oats The weakness IN grains was
largely in sympathy with the decline in wheat
coupled with the favorable weather map
Cash sales Of IS, 600 bushels and Of oats

factor in the provision market. Liquidation was
