The recent re port of the yields of wheat in that j 3tate was a revelatioD. Spalding county secured the first prize fox the best four acres, average yield 65 bushels. Spald ing also soured second best, 59? bushels per acre. Washington county 28 bushels; Jones county 24 bushels. While 65 bushels may : not be the largest yield ever re corded, it speaks well for the ca* ^abilities of middle Georgia asa wheat producing section. Next, year we will expect some of our Edgefield farmers to equal the Spalding county sixty-five bushels to the acre yield. It can be done in Edgefield if tome of our j best grain-growing farmers will but make the effort. What has I been done in Georgia can be done ia South Carolina. Whole Family Poisoned.

Ulm Gary's Fist 01 Pattersois Hi Moi. THAT TELLS BLOODY STORY. Of the Brief But Spirited Go of One Round Yester day at Laurens. THE CHARGE OF LYING MADE BY BOTH MEN. And They Hit Quick, Rapidly, Both Leading for and Land Ii:?? on the Face, Blood Flowed, Subsequent Proceedings. Laurens, Aug. 4.-The great educational campaign evoluted in to a slugging match today. It was somewhat ihe unexpected which bappemted. Frank B. Gary and A. Howard Patterson bad a rough and tumble fight before a thoupand Laurens people, men au i women. They fought with desperation and determination until Jim Tillman and others separated them, aad then they wanted to get back, at oach other. Had the incident occured years ago in this county, when there were a cartload of pistols at a meeting, there would have been funeral s here tomortow; but these days all the feeling seoms to be between the candidates. Today the result was two badly bruised faceB and emphasis on the style of campaigning going on, and if others showed the same spirit there would be many more fisticuffs each day. HOW IT STARTED. From day to day Mr. Patterson hammered at Mr. Gary about his Charleston speech, reading the clippings and making the state ments published. Mr. Gary thought this persistent effort was to make it appear indirectly that he straddled in Charleston or favored a local option while in Charleston, with a license feature which he insisted was not the case, and that Patterson's effort by reading extracts was to place him in a false position as to what he had said and his announced attitude on the liquor question. As persistently as Mr. Patterson would make his statement just so persistently would Mr. Gary insist that his position in Charlos toD, as elsewhere, was plain and unequivocal and not intended to be nor was it misleading, and Mr. Patterson kept on with his state ments as published, and from day to day this kept up and Mr. Pat terson got me to send the papers his speech on this very matter and Mr. Gary was asked for hisTeply, which have been both published. Today Mr. Patterson repeated and reiterated about Mr. Gary's alleged straddle in Charleston. When Mr. Gary'6 turn came to speak be immediately replied, as Women suffer ing from female troubles and weakness, and from irregular or painful men ses, ought not to lose hope ii doctors cannot help them. Phy sicians are so busy with othei diseases that they do not un derstand fully the peculiar ail ments and the delicate organism of woman. What the sufferer ought to do is to give a fair trial to BRADFIELD'S Female Regulator which is the true cure provided by Nature for all female troubles. It is the formula of a physician of thc highest standing, who devoted his whole life to the study of the dis tinct ailments peculiar to our moth ers, wives and daughters. It is made of soothing, healing, strengthening herbs and vegetables, which have been provided by a kindly Nature to cure irregularity in the menses. Leu* corrhosa, Falling of the Womb. Nerv ousness. Headache and Backache. In fairness '.o herself and to Brad' field's Female Regulator, every suffering woman ought to give it a trial A large $i bottle will do a wonderful amount of good. Sold by druggists. Scad fer ? atctly tllastratod tm book on the subject. Thc Bradfield ^eg'ulator Co., Atlanta, G$< hap been published, that he d not "straddle," and that his POE tiou then, as now, was plain. ' .PATTERSON WANTED TO EXPLAIN. Mr. Patterson was sitting aboi five feet behind where Mr. Gai was speaking and got up and sak "Mr. Gary. I want to expia something." Mr. Gary turned squarely arout and said: "Now, Mr. Patterso I want to ask you plainly-is wh I have said about that Charlestc matter true?" Mr. Patterson sai lie would explain, Mr Gary replie there was no use to explain, bi insisted on knowing wheter whi he had just said about the who matter was true or no?. DARED OARY TO PROTE STATEMEX Mr. Patterson went on to sa the candidates would not agre with Mr. Gary, or something o that line. Mr. Patterson said b dared him to prove his statemen by any of the candidates Mr. Gary insisted on a direct re ply as to whether his stateraer. about the Charleston speech wa true or not. By this time (he tw ?nen were within arms Jengtl looking fiecrely at each other air no doubt looking for a blow. Mr. Patterson stud, **ee, be deni fd as being correct what Mr. Gar had said, if he could not explain Mr. Gary th'tra said : "If you sa; my statement is riot, correct yai say what is not so." JOINED IN THE FRAY. The iwo men joined, Pattersoi struck out and claims to have hi first. There was not a nee md' difference in the passage of blows Mr. Patterson struck Gary an un derbouded lick under th? left eye which cut the skin for halt an incl long. BLOOD WAS COMMON. Gary hit Patterson on the moutl and cut the lip and struck bin under the eye, judging from tin brtiipe. It was not. a minute be. fore half a dozen men were arount the two combatants, they were ur agaiust each other clinched atti several 1. lows were passed, bul tbe\ were pulled apart. Gary was taker, toward the front of the stand ant Patterson lo the back. They saic nothing but were eager, and I lu watching crowds pressed up to thc stand. YELLING FOR BOTH. Some yelled for one candidate and some for another. Two police meut. Sheriff McCravey. Sena tor Tillman aud Chairman Smith moved for every one to get back and sit down and get off the stand By this time the candidates had mopped off their faces a^d wiped the blooe off, for blood flowed from both of their bruises. GARY'S APOLOGY. Wheu quiet was restored Mr. Gary faced the audience, somewhat disheveled and bruised, and Quivering all over and with clinch ed hand, and spoke out and said when ht- left home he decided he would be a gentleman and give no possible offense to anyone and in turn he would not take any insult from anyone. He had treated Mr. Patterson as a geutleman and friend, but he had gone too far, and he would allow no man to in sult him with hitting him io the mouth. Mr. Gary apologized with feeling and almost tears for having fought before ladies, and expressed his deep regret at the incident, then he went on and concluded his speech, cutting it here and there. PATTERSON SORRY. Mr. Patterson was allowed to make a statement and said he was very sorry for tho occurrence. He did not like such things. He and Mr. Gary had been warm friends and he had been a staunch friend of the family, but whenever a man told him he liod he tried to put his fist in his mouth and give him the best he had in his shop. FIVE PLUNKS EACH. When the two combatants had taken their seat a police officer, who looks the pictures of Mr. Dinkelspiel, good natured, held out his hand and said it would cost each of the combatants $5 or they would have to go before mayor's court, Mr. Gary paid his $5 aud Mr. Pattersou, when asked, bind? ed over bis $5. THIS THK LAURENS CUSTOM. The officer, when asked about the matter, said it always cost that amount for a tight in the town, but the combatants could go to court, if they wanted to,and they might get back their money, bur. they had only on?; rule. Mr. Pat terson and Mr. Gary left the stand sood after the speech of Mr. Gary. By a strange coincidence they bol h wer^ guests ai one home, but they are now at diften-nt homes. TI!RY ?HAKE HANDS. Through the efforts of Clerk of Court B)lt, Mr. Patterson and Mr. Gary met, shook handl and agreed to bo friends and comrades to fach other as when the entered Lau rens. Of course neither , of the contes'tauts was hurt |o au\f ex tent. ? .TILLEAS TOOK HIS PRIMARY. After the scrap it was uphill work for all until Tillman was presented, and he was received with enthusiasm: He whooped things up and had the boys hurrah ing. He took a hand primary and called me up to the front to note the vote. Not a dozen voted for prohibition, but when it caine to the votes for the dispensary pretty much everybody voted, and there was one of those old time dispen sary fields of uuraised haDds. DIDN'T BELIEVE ABOUT THE HOERS. Tillman was happy and so did everyone else seem to be, and he remaiked that there was nothing much in the talk of 600 tigers in Charleston and 200 in Columbia, and he put no faith in this talk and commented on the evidences of their being no tigers about Laurens, aud that there were not near as many tigers as some tried to make out. The crowd was quite large and in the very best of humor. The meeting was held in Irby grove, which is in the .suburbs of Laurens. FOR TREASURER. Capt. Jennings spoke of his war record and how he has worked to make his living and raised his 14 children without asking th? aid of any onp, He showed his independ ence and why he wauted the office solely on his qualifications. He spoke of his service since the war. State Tieasurer Timmerman said bis opponent oiuld not plead length of term against him, for Capt. Jennings bad held office for 14 years. The only reason his opponent gave against, bia election was because he had been elected bank president, an evidence of the good will and confiance in him. lie spoke of 1 ? it* war record' aud that of his family and his ap preciation of the public confidence.
