Porter, Kiddle Township, is second, and Miss Julia Reed, Elizabeth Township, is third in the race from District No. 2.

All the | candidates in District No. 2 should do their level best for the next report. In District No. 3. Miss Dot Bull of Providence Township, leads with Miss Nettie Wannamaker, of Bowman Township, and Miss Aurelia Rast, of Providence Township, coming sec ond and third respectively in District I No. 3. Several othere in this dis-| trict are close behind the above can didates, and they can with a little j work among their friends soon catch up with the highest candidate in the district.

Miss Essie Mae Wolfe, ' Caw Caw| Township, comes second In this Dis trict and Miss Annie Carson, Pine j Grove Township, comes third'.

Springfield, Dec. 2.?Special?An old and highly-respected citizen of tho Wagener section was here today, and reported a "swindle" that an exposure of may, perhaps, save some one else from a like experience, j This old farmer whose check is good for almost any. amount, relates that a few days ago, a small show was exhibiting in the town of Wag oner, when he, the wealthy farmer, >vas approached by a well-dressed young man, who represented himself ?8 a citizen from North Carolina minting for land; offering to give the Wagener citizen a large commission on all lands that he would assist him in buying. Gaining the attention of the old man he Invited him to meet the fath er of the young man, and in hunting around for the supposed "father" they accidentally ran across a "prom inent" traveling physician who de sired to demonstrate a sure cure for all kidney troubles. The young real estate hunter Immediately became In terested, as ho had Brlght's disease, and his earnestness brought the old man from Wagener, to a full reali atPm of his trouble with his kidneys. The socalled "physician" requiring each party to exhibit five hundred ollars, that he might know they were responsible, before he would consent to give this very valuable remedy away. After much dickering each party secured the necessary money, and handed it to the "physician" to count The result was the "phy sician" left the old man from Wag ener with his young real estate friend, minus five hundred dollars. The supposed real estate man buy ing the silence of the old man by promising to make good the amount lost the next morning, but when the old man from Wagener awoke the next morning his real estate man, wiih the "prominent physician" had left town, leaving the prominent old man of Wagener alone in his agony of rrind. Under the recent laws passed by the State of Kansas, these swindlers would be caught at the expense of the State, but under the laws of South Carolina, unless the old man from Wagener, will hear the expenses, there seems to be nothing to do, but to publish to the world that this sec tion has its full share of suckers that wlJ bite.

The Price-Campbell Cotton Picker made a demonstration at Bennetts ville on last Tuhrsday while we were there. It picked cotton from a field in which the cotton had been open some time, and necessarily in bad condition for the test. Yet the ma chine picked at least ninety pen cent, of the cotton on the stalks fully as clean as it could have been picked by hand. The machine picks one row at a time, and will pick ten or more acres per day. In our judgment it has come to stay and in a very few years will be picking all the cot ton on the level lands of the cotton belt Good Christmas Gift.
