over four bales on one acre, expects to
beat last years yield by at teast half
bale. The cotton is planted On the
same ground as last year within 100
wards of Main street in Lexington,
those who watched the patch last year
from the time it was planted until the
last lock had been picked. confidently
believe that Mr.. Caughman will break
his own record. In fact, some who
have seen the field this year declare
that the champion will make FIVE bales
this year. It is'said that the stalks
now contain upwards OF 375 bolls well
developed, and the fruiting is not near
ly complete: 1t is unQuestionably the
finest field of cotton ever seen in Lex

MI. 0liphant Visits Clarendon.

The Clarendon county Jail and chain
gang camps on the Pinewood, Sum
merton road about Is miles from Man
| ming, were visited last week by A. D..
Oliphant, assistant secretary OF the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
tiops. The Board through its agents
is visiting penal and charitable insti-
tutions in the Pee Dee and Piedmont
sections. The, assistant secretary OF
the Board went from Manning to King
stree, Georgetown. Conway and Mar
| ion.
With Sheriff Gamble the represen.
tative of the State Board Charities and
Corrections inspected the county Jail
which was clean and had been repaint-
ed inside and calcimined about two
months ago. In common with many
other counties visited by agents OF the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
tions, Clarendon has no adequate facll-
tiles for caring fer insane persons un-
til they can be taken TO the State Hos
pital for the insane lunatic, pending
commitment to the State Hospital, are
confined in one Of the cells on the first
floor of the jail. In the opinion OF the
representative of the Board, the coun-
tv needs another room added to the
iail building as place of confinement
for lunatics. The walls OF this room
should be padded and its windows Sc
curely barred
The assistant secretary of the Board
took up the matter with Supervisor
Davis and Sheriff Gamble about put
ting TWO shower baths in the county
Jail after the waterworks system has
been completed in Manning.
Supervisor Davis and the represen:
tative of the State Board of Charities
and Corrections went over the prob
lem presented by the paupers OF Clar-
endon county. At present the county
has no almns house. but it gives orders
for supplies in amounts OF from Sl'5O
to So to twenty seven needy people
each month. She State Board of Char
tiles is of the opinion that this form OF
assistance to paupers, "out side relief"
it is called, is unwise, except IN care
fully selected cases as it has tenden-
cv to encourage, rather than dlscour-
age, pauperism.
The State Board of Charities and
Corrections will appoint local com.
mittee of visitors 10 Clarendon county.
I: will be the duty OF this committee to
inform itself of the methods OF man
aeement and conditions in chaingang
camps and jails il the county, after a
study OF conditions in these institu-
tiors, the committee will try to ac-
quaint the citizenship of the county
with them with view to making any
improvements needed

was one of interest. The ladies DEM
onstrased their love an6 high regards
for the sacred cause of Missions. THIS

money to this cause. They raised up
wards OF one hundred dollars. This
was great showing for the convention
when we take under considerations the
short time that this society has been
organized and the way it has to collect
money. It was organized three years
ago in Trinity 8. II. E: church Man.

lowed by DR.. J. G. Watkins Presiding
Elder OF the Manning District, who
made some very interdesting remarks;
Many splendid papers were read and
other addresses were delivered by the
numbers OF the convention. Among
the papers that were read, was one OF
supreme interest read by Mrs. J. c.

the people should pay more for Mis-
sions and less for useless amusements.
She read table showing an extravag-
