FINE SORGHUM CANE, THIS If bigger or better sorghum cane ever grew in this section anywhere than the patch of Mr. Samuel H. Wingard, a progressive farmer on Route 1, we have never seen it. He has a patch beside the road beyond his pretty little home that- surpasses anything the writer has ever seen. rrtt _ t p ine cane is iuny ia ieei m^u and is so large and thick that you could not see a person ten steps away, through the cane. It is equally fine in width, and an acre this size would make an enormous yield. We expect to get a "sample" of this syrup? of the syrup made from that very same patch of cane, if Sam lets us know when he grinds it. Mr. Wingard is a good farmer; for the cane is not the only good looking crops seen on his place. JUDGE TELLS WOMEN WHY MEN LEAVE HOME.

It is generally admitted that experience is the best teacher, but should we not make use of the experience of others as well as our own? The experience of a thousand persons is more to be depended upon than that of one individual. Many thousands of persons have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for coughs and colds with the best results, which shows it to be a thoroughly reliable preparation for those diseases. Try it. It is prompt and effectual and pleasant to take. For sale by Harmon Drug Co. FOUR NEGROES KILLED BY LIGHTNING AT CAMP During a heavy thunder ^ *1 _ storm Saturday aiternoon a bolt of lightning struck a shed at Camp Jackson, Columbia under which thirteen negro laborers were seeking shelter from the rain, killing four outright and wounding nine others some of whom may die. The killed were William McCottire, of Georgetown; George Kitt, Branchville; Matthew Green, Eastover, and an uni-j dentified negro. I The peculiar feature of the' tragedy was that there was no sign of where the men had been ] hit or where the shed was damaged. Another most peculiar fea-i ture, too, is the statement of one of the survivors who claims that he counted the number of men under the shed and, finding the "unlucky thirteen," there, started to leave as the the bolt came, killing four and injuring the others, among whom was himself. Passenger trains Nos. 3 and 4 between Columbia and Spartanburg were discontinued on Sunday. 1 zzzzzmzzzzizzzii^iizzzzzzzzizzziz^izimzzziiiizizzzzzz^ See Or Write Us For SELECTION PACKAGE of anything in the line of Presents for Weddings, Personal or own use. !
