Columbus Bu Genuine Olivt Planet, Jr., Ir Pittsburg Per These high cost no more AUGUSTA GA. PROGRESS OF CAMPAIGN Now and Then a Bit of Life is Inject ed Into the Speaking of the Can didates. Chesterfield, Special.-The candi dates had about 400 people to speak to in the court house here. Mr. Lyon., candidate fur Attorney General.-was introduced as the first speaker. Ju reply to Mr. Tatum's-card. Mr. Lyon says he lias never asserted dispensary fnsolvenec but, from appearances, be believes ii. He doubts if the dis pensary could, by liquidatiun pay ils debts, because il lias now on band a great stock of cheap liquor bought nt hight prices. Mr. Haysdale, who feels that uu wort hy imputations have been brought into this campaign, in a cool deliberate way he said: "Anybody who-says I have any'connection with thegiaftcrs or have.thrown anything in'the way of Hie success of thc in vest igal iou committee Hes and lies knowingly.Continuing, Mr. Kays dale sahl that Mr. Lyn? had likened (he officers of ihe State dispensary to buzzards and yet Mr. Lyon had voted to piil Messrs. "Wiley and Kuwlinson inln ?fliec. Mr!" Lyon Enters Denial. Mr. Lyon arose at this and said: "I have never called either Mr. Wil ey's of Mr. Rawlinson's nam? in any speech on the stump, I voted for M'"s<rs. YVi'ev and Rawlinson and know riofhing against them.' Mr. Haysdale: "Mr. Lyon said Hie buzzards were gathering around I lint festering carcass on the I'onuaree." Slr. Lyon: " 1 said thai and will ttiy it again.'? Sir. Kagcdale: '.'Ami Messrs. Wiley and Rawlinson gather about the Slate dispensan- t?? carry mi Hie business pf the St a I e."s The audience chet ed loudly foi' both candidates, perhaps more en thusiastically for Mr. Haysdale. Mr. (!. Ii. Walker, candidate Pur rho oflieo of comptroller general says he is a private citizen of Green- 1 vii le and is not responsible tor in equalities of taxation in that county. IP property is returned at the usual value then the three-mill constitu tional school tax will bc doubled. He is oppose ' lo the flexible levy pro posed by the comptroller general, be cause this would take the assessment Of taxes (.ul of the hands of the peo ple and put it into the hands of the few. Il is strange, he thinks, that the Southern Railway properly is re turned at only >W per cent, ol" its val ue. Li reply to Mr. "Walker. General Jones said he is not afraid ol' the railroad, lie has been lighting them for years and during his administra tion. $2.?)OU,0U? has been added to the assessed val nat iou tit' the rail roads ia South Carolina. Thc Morgan block in the city of Greenville is worth #140.000. it is returned at $10.000. only seven per cent, of it? value. The Cagle block in the same town is returned at only five per cent, of its value. Ho cannot set aside the three-mill constitutional school tax, but if property were returned at its actual value, there would be no need of extra levies for the upport (d' schools. Mr. Jones cut a ' for $.157 sent in by The Gre*- \e Herald down to $]~).7~). , A Five Cornered Match. The two candidates for adjutant general Messrs. Haskell and Boyd, gave a very friendly presentation ol' their opposing interests. It was thrust and parry in the five-cornered match for railroad commissioner. Messrs. Carfeler. Sullivan. Sellers ami Smu mersett "knocked'' Col. "Walton's record. The colonel claims he is holding up well under the attacks of his four opponents. For governor Mr. Joel E. Brimson was glad to see his badye being worn by a good lady of Chesteifield and wagered (hat no body would wear the badge of a dis pensary candidate. Mr. Richard 1. Manning was received with loud ap plause. He cou lined his remarks to former methods of argument. When asked how he would insure the ab solute purity ol' liquor he replied that there is no ideal way but the safest manner is to buy it from govern ment bonded warehouses without having it pass through any middle hands. Mr. John J. McMahan believes that the proposed Raysor-Manliing bill would allow too much latitude in the amount ol' liquor to be ordered out under each contract. According lu the constitution certain proIiis from the liquor business became as soon as made, the properly of the schools and should be I urned over to t hem aud yet wc now have the State dis pensary due the schools $590.00. Mr. Edwards inveighed against the power of corporate interests. Mr. A. (.'. Jones ?advised the people of Chester field lo petition for an election to vote out tbe dispensary on the day of the general election so there will be no extra expense to the county. He will give the same, advise to other counties. Col. John T. Sloan I old Mr. Brun sen that tb-i cohn? of his badge indi cated the 28th of Angus! would he a blue day for him.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS] Condition of South Carolina Crops For Week Ending Monday, July 28, 1908, aa Given Out hy the De partment. One of the main features of the week's weather was the continuation of excessive cloudiness that has-been so characteristic a feature since the first of the month, although in many localities there was slightly more sun shine than there was in the two pre vious week clear days having been noted in various parts of the State on Friday and Saturday. The temperature was quite uniform throughout the entire week with no noteworthy variation from the normal or seasonal heat. The weekly range in temperature was from a minimum of 02 degrees at Greenville on the 18th to a maximum of 00 degrees at Heath Springs on the 20th. There were numerous showers and thunderstorms during the week, rain havinng fallen on from three to six days in nearly every part of the State. Thc weekly amounts of rainfall were ' generally above normal at all sta tions, while iu thc extreme northwest ern border range of counties thc rain fall was excessive, having been six inches or more, for thc week, with a maximum fall ol' 0.SS inches at Clem son College. These heavy rains and some that fell in the central and cast- ; ern counties, damaged lands locally by washing Hiern and flooded bottom lands on small streams, but caused no very high water in the larger riv Great Damage By Storms.

In a residence on Washington street a child was stun ned but there was no evidence of the building having suffered from the electrical discharge. Thc third storm of the scries came up about 0 o'clock Saturday night, and though less se vere than those proceeding it, lhere was electricity enough in 'thc almos- 1 ph ere to burn out thc motor on a trolley car, shocking the occupants ' severely. Of the 950 telephone sta- , lions in Greenville 400 have been put i. out of use by lightning. The local management has found it necessary , lo bring a force of linemen here from ?

Bananas and oranges always blend deliciously for either a fruit salad, for a breakfast fruit, or for a fruit des sert. Cut the bananas and the oran ges into cubes, arrange in layers in a fruit dish, and then over all place a layer of stiffly beaten cream, which has been flavored and tinted a delicate pink by adding a few drops of straw berry extract. If for a fruit dessert, 3r salad, white grapes may be opened, the stones removed, and the fruit placed here and there among the ba nanas and oranges. When served as a salad, always pour over the fruit a fruit mayonnaise, instead of the whipped cream, and serve with plain unsweetened rolls ?astead of willi cakes or sweet wafers as iu the case of a fruit dessert.

Victim Traps Himself and Resets The Snare for Others. Consul General Bray reports from Melbourne that a new rabbit trap is being used in Australia with great ?uccess, whereby rabbits may be caught alive in very large numbers. It is used in connection with small ;rap yards, diagrams for the construc tion of which are supplied by the patentee of the traps. The trap it self is 18 laches long, 12 inches high and G inches in width. It has a bal anced moving floor and a door at sach end, which opens and closes au tomatically. The weight of a rabbit sn the inverse end of a floor closes the door behind him by which he has entered ?and opens the door in front leading to the trap yard, so that the rabbit has no option but to go on, and when he leaves the trap lt goes bock to its former position, thus re seting itself. The small trap yards are constructed of double-wire netting fences, in the spaces between which green fodder or hay is cultivai ed or provided, and, although these foods cannot be reached by thc rabbits, it entices them to enter through the ?.raps to try and get out the fodder from the other side. Two, three or more traps may bc used in connec tion with each trap yard. The inven tion has been tried with great suc cess on several" extensive ranches in \ustralia, and the inventor has * number of certificates from leading ranchmen, one of whom states that with two of the traps set at a small water hole he caught God rabbits ia one night.
