CHICAGO. oct. 2s.-Amid the most in
tense excitement the wheat market today
attained tho highest levels reached since
the year OF the Letter deal, in May, 1898.
when II sold az si.s5. The price estab-
lished that year was the top since July,
1858. when II went 20 $3.50.
The acuteness Of the bullishness Of the
worlds supply situation was emphasized by
an upturn OF 10c at Rosario and again
equally as sensational AT Buenos Aires. This
rise was looked upon by the trade as verl-
flying previous statements that the crop OF
Argentina had met with disaster because
OF protracted drought. which remained un-
broken today, and damage from insects.
Trading was Wild ~ quotations scared
to $1.75h for December, and S1.75M for
May. about &c above Saturdays close. Longs
poured the market full of their holdings TO
realize handsome profits. -but commission
houses had enormous purchasing orders on
hand to absorb the offerings and the close
was well above Saturdays last quotations.
Private wires were so rushed with busl-
ness that gossip was sidetracked. Short
sellers were so badly licked that even the
present level was SHE'D at by traders who
felt that turning point was due on techni-
cal grounds Radical bulls reiterated their
predictions that wheanwould sell above So.

NO CROPS, NO WORK, NO FOOD.
Sad Plight OF People In Valley
of Lynch'S Creek.

Supervisor Mcbride brings back a
very narrowing tale of the condition
of the storm victims in the valley OF
Lynch's creek. Their farms and
supplies were destroyed. They have
no means in the world of making
any money and are suffering for
something to eat. They are living
the best they can out of fishing and
hunting, but that is poor living.
They have no work to do except it
be given by the public. The little
cotton that was made has all beer
gathered. The gins are idle and
neighbors have nothing to give in
work to neighbors, because they are
all in the same boat.
They have been hoping that the
government would soon haye work
for them on the roads and drainage
that was proposed but has not ma
terialized, and their necessities are
great.
Mr Ragsdale had talk with the
government agent here recently and
expected that this work would be re-
sumed. In the meantime these peo-
pie must be taken care of. They are
not beggars or paupers,but they are
hungry people with nothing to feed
themselves on.
Green peas are the staple diet in that
section now. but what can take the
place of bread?
There are three hundred people in
this predicament.- t.-FlOrence Times.

APPEAL TO HOUSEKEEPERS
To Aid In Making the Approach
ina Fair a Great Success.

To the Housekeepers of Williams
burg County:
Will you not help US to make this
a banner year in our department at
the county fair? If each of you will
exhibit the best you have in our line
the success of the Household depart
ment will be assured. Right here let
me say that a great deal of confusion
was caused last year by persons put
ting in several jars of fruit. pre-
serves, and, as the list calls for only
one jar of each article, select your
best Of each particular kind of fruit,
jelly, etc, and the judges will have
less trouble in awarding premiums.
You will see from the premium
list the various articles classed in
this department. Look it over and
resolve to enter at least one exhibit
and as many more as possible. Of
course everyone cannot be prize
winner. but those of US who exhibit
the best we have in our particular
line contribute quite as much to the
success of the fair as those whose
exhibits are premium winners, and,
after all, a successful fair is our
chief aim.
l should be glad, if it were posi-
ble, to make a house-to-house canvass
of the county, but of course cannot
do this. so l make this appeal to you
through our county papers as the
best method of reaching you all. |
will as superintendent of this de-
partment, personally appreciate any
effort you may make towards full
and attractive exhibit in everything
pertaining to the household. If l can
give you any information further
than that contained in the premium
list l shall be glad to do so.
Cordially yours,
MRS LEROY LEE,
Supt Household Dept.

shots probably fatally wounded a

twice through the right lung, and
though still alive this evening. his
condition is regarded as highly pre-

are very slight.
Charley Luquire, the guard who
ran amuck, came to town yesterday
to attend the circus. He was told
by McCombs to be back at the farm
by 5 o'clock. Luquire, it is said.

With VICTORY NEAR He
ALMOST GAVE UP FIGHT.
Columbian Now Has Wife to Thank for
Urging Him On.
WON AFTER 80 YEARS.
Moral In This Story Perhaps APP
plies TO Many O1herS--Tei1S
OF Long Struggle.

There is moral in this. 1t has
to deal with person who came very
near giving up too soon. And the
story is told by his wife-a story
that perhaps is true with regard to
many others.
Mrs Mary Gordon. of 72O Seventh
St, Olympia, suburb Of Columbia,
says Tanlac made well man of her
husband though he had suffered
more than go years with severe
form of stomach trouble before he
began taking it. And the moral in
this is: Don't give up for she
says her husband almost lost heart
when the first bottle of Tanlac fail
ed to give him the relief he expect
ed, and it was only because of his
wife's urging that he continued to
take Tanlac until she says he was a
we'll man when the fourth bottle
has taken.
Mrs Gordon's statement in en-
dorsement of Tanlac follows:
my husband suffered from ca
tarrh of the stomach almost all his
life-for more than 80 years-and
he had it very badly. He got in
such bad shape that almost every
thing he ate hurt him and nothing
seemed to nourish him. He would
have sick spells and could not work,
and his troubles caused him to lose
a lot of time from his work.
HE was in bad shape and could
not 60 anywhere hardly, and he had
lost lot of weight. 1t was almost
impossible for him to sleep we'll at
night, and sleeplessness troubled
him lot. Finally he decided to
take Tanlac, for he had read a lot
about it and knew several people
who had endorsed it.
He says Tanlac cured him OF
that stomach trouble. He sleeps
well now, and he is in fine shape in
every way. The last Tanlac he took
was taken two or three months ago,
and he never has any trouble with his
stomach now and can eat anything
he wants and it never hurts him.
He says he feels better now than he
has in years.
I'VE spent lot Of money for pro-
fessional treatment of his trouble,
but it seemed that the medicine he
was given did not suit his case. But
he sure was wonderfully helped by
Tanlac, and he told me the other
day that he wanted to give a testl-
monial. We cannot say too much
for Tanlac.
He took four bottles of Tanlac.
The first did not help him and he
did not want to get any more, but l
persuaded him to get the second and
it helped him right smart bit.
And the next two bottles broke up
his troubles and he is in just fine
shape now. l sure can recommend
Tanlac, because Tanlac did more
for my husband than all the other
medicines he ever took and made a
we'll man of him, even though he
had suffered with this stomach
trouble more than 80 years. "
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kings
tree; Mallard Lumber Co, Greely-
vile; r P Hinnant, Suttons.
