Sanders Lost Valuable Horses and Hoes. The storm that passed over this section Thursday night proved very disastrous for several farmers, two of whom lost some valuable live stock, while the third lost the contents, of his barn, consisting of hay, etc. Mr. R. L. Creech, who lives a few miles from Barnwell, was perhaps the heaviest looser. A bolt of lightning, which struck his stable, killed a horse, for which he had paid 1270, and seven fine hogs, which he valued at $10 each. Mr. Creech is a hard working young man and the loss falls heavily upon him. Mr. J. 0. Sanders also had a valuable horse killed. The horse had been driven by a son of Mr. Sanders to the house of Mr. F. L. Still. It was hitched near a wire fence and it is thought that the bolt hit a tree some distance away, ran down the fence and killed the horse. It was valued at $2.'>0 and was a county raised animal. The loss of Mr. Henry McDonald, of Williston, is told in another article in this week’s issue NEGRO MAN ATTACKED WHITE LADY AT ULMER Jerry Franklin in Jail Charged With Aauult and Battery. Jerry Franklin, a negro, was arrested by Sheriff J. B. Morris Saturday after noon and lodged in the county jail on the charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. The al leged attack was made Thursday afterc noon on Mrs. Hattie Harrison, wife of Mr. R. W. Harrison, who lives near Ulmer. According to the best infor mation obtainable, Mrs. Harrison, act ing for her husband, who has been confined to his bed for some time with fever, ordered the negro to assist in unloading some ice. This, it is said, the negro refused to do, becoming ab usive in his language and finally at tacking Mrs. Harrison. Mrs. Harrison was in town Monday and showed a bruise on her arm which she said was made by Franklin. She said that there were also bruises on her body. It is understood that th»* negro has waved a prelimmurv hearing. - ♦ ♦ --— PRES. CALHOUN PRAISES TREAS.

Special to The People: Ashleigh, August 2.—A very pleasant event of the recent past was the bene fit party given by the ladies of the community at the new school building. Ice cream and cake were served, and every one present expressed them selves as having enjoyed the occasion very much. A neat little sum was real ized which was applied to the purchase of a new organ for the church. Ashleigh now boasts of one of the best country school buildings of any country school in the county.

Although it had been advertised that the books of registration would be opened at Bartiwell August 4th and kept open for one week, no new cer tificates are being issued by the Super visors of Registration this week for the election on the 19th inst. The statute requires that the books be closed thirty- days before a general or special elec tion, and for this reason only renewals can be issued to the voters whose names are alreadv on the books.

Eubanks this we?k. for the past ten or twelve years, and the settlement with the Comptroller General, which has just been made shows a cash on hand to the extent of $42,530.93. This is a remarkable showing for this county, due in part to the wise man agement of the county affairs. The tax levy is only 2 1-2 mills, one of the low est in the State. But the dispensary brings in a big amount of money. This amount does not include the school fund. The schools of the coun ty have a cash balance of over $50,000.

If it could be managed to cut the rainfall in two, getting only half of the normal, farming would not only be a pleasure but a bonanza. Normal rains bring millions of mosquitoes, flies, gnats and other pets, while dry weath er does not bring them. Rains poison young crops, causes them to “shed,” Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
