On Tnesdav night, about 8 o'clock, a negro man, John Williams by name, broke into the store occupied by John Young, colored, using the cellar door tor a ladder and entering through a window. He secured quite a good many things, among them canned goods, candy, etc., amounting to abont twelve dollars. He came one of the back door and went to a supper that wa9~ in progress to di?pose of his fctolen property, vffering them so cheap that suspicion was aroused. Young on coming by hi* store iater found it open and notified the police, who immediatel) began a search. John Williams wa* irrp9ted some hours later and is now iuj-ul. Most of the goods were found the next morning hidden in a basket in Mr. II. W. Gibson's blacksmith shop.

C. Willinghiim's The meeting was held in persuance of a call issued by Mr. T. L. Johnston for the pnrpos3 of organizing the "Cotton Growers Association of JNo. 4 township. After the object of the meeting had been stated the meeting entered into a permanent organization with the e'cction of the following officers: T. L. Johnston, president; W. S. D lrham, vice-president; T. \Y. Rawls, Jr., secretary. The following delegates wore elecied to represent this township at a meeting of the ceunty Cotton Growers Association to be held in Wiunsboro on the first Monday in January next: R. Y. Bray, T. L. Johnston, F. A. Neil, J. C. Willingham and Ilngh S. "Wylie. The different features of the lien law were discussed, pro and con, and after dne and deliberate consideration, decided that the meeting was not sufficiently improved to either amend or abolish; in tact the pros and cons were about equally divided. The advisability and practical economy of reducing tbe cotton acreage and thereby increasing the provisional crops was discussed, an:l the delegation was instrneted to vole in the county meeting for resolutions to that effect. I am satisfied that I am voicing the lentiment of this township when [ say that the cotton acreage of 1898 will be materially rcduced with a corresponding increase in tho planting of other crops. They realize the fact that it the cotr.on acreage of the south is materially redaced that the farmers will realize more money on the remaining part than they could have done on the whole; and if the acreage is not reduced generally they cannot los3 anything, for five cents for cotton is at or belosv the cost of production.

The Cotton Growers Convention for township No. 7 was held here to-day, aud although the weather was very inclement the attendance was fairly gcoJ, and great interest was manifested in the meeting. A permanent organization was affected with Mr. It. S. Spence as president and Mr. S. P. Thomas secretary and treasurer.

James Russell is assisting Rev. J. (x. Herndon in a series of meetings this week. Mr. Russell is by no means unknown to the people of Ridgeway, and he will receivc no warmer welcome anywhere than he does here. At this season the business of our town is a little beyond the highest especta'ions of the merchants. Already 5.400 bales jof cotton has beeo sold a d it is still coming in at the rate of about 50 bales a day. The merchants are confident of receiving 6,500 bales of the '97 crop. This doea not mean that Ridgeway is merely a good cotton market, and from that only she draws her support. 1- is true IQac rne unity repurio nuutv iu>t her buyers pay the very top of the market, bat the greater trath back of this is that she is a businegs little town, and the people are not slow to see it. There are only fifteen stores open here now, but they all have in a hea- y winter stock of goods, and it is the opinion of this community that anything from a paper of pins up to "a carload of flour can be boGght as cheaply in Ridgeway as in any other town of the State. If there is any one inclined to doubt the verity of this the merchants ask that they be given only one trial for conviction. Cards are out announcing the approaching marriage of Mr. John N. Lemas-ter and Miss Annie LeeThoma?, both of Ridge way. As this cveut will take place on the 29th of December it will be the closing as well as crown- j ing event of the year. Mr. John Moore, of Cenireville, had his honse broken open last night. Fortunately the negrd was identified and is now lodged in tbe guard house here.
