This room has the ? pneumatic pipe running from it to 1 the gin, so there is no handling of c seed cotton at all, which is a saving 1 of much time and labor. The gins 1 have seventy s&ws each, and a man * can drive his cotton under the sue- 1 tion pipej and by the time it is unloaded he can drive his wagon J around to the other side and get 1 his bale of cotton aud seed, as the 1 cotton is distributed automatically 1 to all three gins.

From there he had gone to 5 Columbia, and had boarded with ^ Mr. and Mrs. Tom Price, and that Mrs. Price had been very kind in nursing him while sick. Mr. Price formerly lived at Bamberg, and has relatives here, being a brother of Mr. E. B. Price, 1 About a week after Kennedy's ( "arrival, Mr. and Mrs, Price, with [ their little son, came.here to live, , the reason for their coming being < that Mr. Price had been promised a ] position. They went to board with Mr. M. B. Varn. Mrs. Price was agent for some silverware concern, and she and Kennedy traveled ^ around the country several days to- 5 gether, in a buggy, he selling light- ] ning rods, and she silverware. < Last Friday night Kennedy drove ( up to Mr. Varn's and carried Mrs. 1 Price and her little son to the de- 1 pot, sent the horse and buggy (which was the property of Mr. Etheredge), { back to Jones Bros', stable by a ne* [ gro, and they all left on the 8:20 train, going toward Augusta, He 1 stated before going away that there 1 was nothing criminal in his relations with'the woman, but that they ' ?- - J. ? j i were going to some point auu open la crrnpary store.

The October Number of The Delineator is called the Autumn number, and contains, in addition to an exhaustive analysis ot the season's most approved modes in every department of fashionable arts, with special articles on allied topics and "the usual potpourri of social and household discussions, a variety of literary features of exceptional quality and interest. A weird, mystical tale of a faithful, lingering lover is The Blue Man, by Mary Hartweli Cntherwood, a tragic story of the region of the great lakes. Mme.

It is said that this cuts the shortage dowu to about $2,000, which, apportioned among the bondsmen, will be about $400 or $500 each."

That there are five thousand theatres in America, and that one million and a half people attend them each week-day , night, spending seventy millions dollars a year on theatre-going, are the surprising facts with which Mr. Franklin Fyles, the dramatic editor of New York Suny will open an important series in the next issue of The Ladies' Home Journal. The series will be called 1 "The Theatre and Its People," and will ! run through seven numbers of the maca- ( zine, lavishly illustrated with pictures made by twelve different artists. The articles will treat of every phase of the theatre, the play and the actor, from the inside, and will tell how a theatre is man- ( aged; the actual money which plays have made; liow an actor is trained and what the actors are actually paid; how a play is written and what the authors receive; how a play is rehearsed; the first night of a play; how the actresses "make up" and what they use; and in a minute 1 way the two last articles will show what goes on "behind the scenes on the stage during the performance. It is a curious fact that this will be the first time that ; the theatre and the actor have ever been exhaustively treated in a magazine, and that there is no book on the subject in existence.
