White, one of he circus negroes who was sent to t he chaingang last week, to a ?20 J npney order and secured the money ^ ,t the Lexington postoffice. Postmaster Leaphart was not in at ? he time and Assistant Postmaster j )orley suspected nothing wrong. How ^ 'Swansea came into possession of the n aoney order is not known, but it is 13 upjosed that he got the letter from he postoffice and failed to deliver it o White. The money order was sent J5 iy the negro's relatives in Durham, L 0., and was dated November 14. Vith consumate cunning "Swansea" leld onto the money order until after ^ Vhite had been convicted and sent g o the gang before he made an effort n o get the money. g( As soon as the forgerv was detected he matter wa9 reported to the aii- ^ horities and 'Swansea" lit a rag for ^ arts unknown. All night the officers q unted for the fugitiye without sueess. On Sunday, however, Deputy c heriff Miller captured the little ne- n ro aboard a train in Columbia bound 5r Statesville, N. 0. Ho had spent b 11 of the money except ?3.00. "Swansea" has been in the toils beDre. Several years ago he entered t, le postoffice at Swansea and helped a imself to a lot of stamps. For this ^ rime he served a term in Siug Sing. j( ompleting his sentence he returned p ) Swansea, where he again got into ^ ouble, this time stealing goods from store. He was tried for thi9 offense ud sentenced to the chaingang.

Polite and Pi Lexington Corn Show. The second corn show of this county under the auspices of the Lexingtoi Corn Growers' association was a big success. While this movem ent is stil in its incipiency, the character of ex hibits and the enthusiasm of those present portend a larger success foi Che future. This association comes as the result of a lively interest in the raising of better corn which culminated last year in the first corn show this county has ever had and which was due to the untiring efforts of Congressman Lever. Since the association has Kswi.-. : 3 _ M ^ -- ^ -e uocu uxgauj&eu t? uveiy spirit ui cum* petition has seized upon the farmers of the county, with a large increase in the yield per acre, and nas back of it the almost unanimous co-operation of the farmers of the county. .The department of agriculture has shown much interest in the work and from time to time various of its field meu have been on the Lexington farms and it has always stood ready to lend any assistance of which it is capable. Mr. Leyer is justly very proud of his venture along this line and the hearty cooperation with which the movement has met, attests the interest o? he agriculturists of the county. The show recently held was in many respe cts superior to that of lastyear? not that the enthusiasm last year was insufficient, buf the care shown in the selection or the corn shown, as well as the marked improvement in the type, 3how that the lessons of last years 3how have borne fruit. Messrs. Ira W. Williams and A. G. Smith of the department attended both shows in the capacity of lecturers on corn and both expressed themselyes as being gratified with the exhibits. Several prizes were offered for the Largest yields and the first. ?50, olferH?, VT_ I ST. r 3\j. UJ Hil. LICVU, WiKS WViLL UJ 1U.1". ti . A.

The first prize for the best 10 ears exhibit in the boys' class wa9 won by Malcolm Lowman and the second by Mr. Geo. S. Wingard. The first prize for the best 10 ear ixhibit in the men's class was won by dr. C. F. Frick and the second by Mr. leo. P. Lowmao. There were about 150 farmers in at~ endance. For the success Oi the show oo much praise cannot be accorded 1. A. Derrick and James \V. Shealey, he heads of the government farm lemonstration work in this county. )r. E. C.
