Mr W .1 Gulp, the manager of .
Heath, Springs Go's Foster j
farm, can probably show the j
ino-t li"!'! of oorii in the State. }
Mr .) I' llialh of Georgia, who is ,
here on a visit, savs he has seen
n<?tliii?<jr to iMjiiiil it in Georgia, ,
and lie estimates I ho yield on the |
l.Mt acres : t hushcls, or an |
average i f 10 bushels per acre.
His estimate accords with tho ]
cellmate of most every one who ,
has seon it, though somo few say j
it w ill not average more than d5 ,
hu-heis to the acre. All agree j
there sire seme aires which will ,
make To hushcls. The rows aie <
1 feet apart and many of tho ,
-talks are not more than 10 inches |
apart in the row. The field is j
pist North of town and it is worth ,
the time of any one to go over (
and see it. I'ntil this year this |
tield has heen planted in cotton
since Heath Springs have owned <
it.
For shoot inj* on the l'uhlic Ilijjh- !
way.
Very few people regard the
law against shooting within 50
yards of the public highway but
dim Dixon, colored, will lie apt J 1
to regard it from this time on.
He was convicted before MagisI
trate Caskey Monday of this of*
i
fence and has gone to work on
tho county roads for 30 days in '
lieu of paying a tine of $10.
Dixon was standing at tho |
edge of the road in a thicket near .
Cftpt Rives' last Sunday afternoon 1
and fired his pistol just as Mr!6
Brnska Moore and his sister were j
tt
passing in a buggy returning home ^
from preaching.' The llall went |
whizzing by Mr Moore' and he j
thought the negro was shooting at t
him. The negro ran off into the;*
. I i
voods, Mr Moore following after
him as soon as he could quiet his
mule. Capt Rives ran out and '
remained with Miss Moore while .
Mr Braska made a thorough (1
search of the woods. Not finding ^
the negro he brought his sister on
home and returned with his '
father and Mr L S Klliott when
they found Dixon at a woman's
house in the neighborhood. lie'
claimed that the discharge of his
pistol was accidental. Ho was
indicted and . o ivictcd as above 1
stated and nm\ have, to answer to j
a charge of carrying a concealed
pistol.

IIKRA W'S PROPOS K D HO A D
Encouraging Prospects of Getting
to Lancaster.
Special to The State.
Cheraw, July 20.?The man- '
gement of tho Chesterfield and )
Cershaw Railroad company, the
>roposed rood from Cheraw to '
Lancaster, is working quietly but *
t is believed effectively towards '
laving the road built at an early
late. The promoters are satisied
that it will be a profitable investment
for the company that
>imI(Is it, and a great benefit to a
urge and rich section of country.
Along the line from Cheraw to
Lancaster it would pass through
is fine farming section as is to be
found in the State so far as niilnr.
il advantagesareconcerned. There
is also excellent timber along the
ant ire route, tine streams, and an
aconoinical and industrious people
The road would run through
tine kaolin deposits and take in
the rich JetFerson gold mining region.
In fact the road would
loubtless enter Brewer mine,
possibly the richest in the south.
It would be difficult to find in the
same distance anywhere a greater
variety of inducements to a proposed
road and it is this that as5ures
its early completion.
Farmers t'rged to Hold Cotton.
Natchez, Mich., duly 29. ? In
its leading editorial tomorrow, the
Natchez Democrat will make an
ippeal to cotton farmers to hold
pack one-third of their ginnings
intil after December or January.
"The two thirds will bring
marly as much money, marketed
n this way, as the whole crop
narketed in the usual "ay," says
he editorial. ''The government
lays the .July condition >s three
ind four-tenths per cent, less or
i total depreciation of eleven and
our tenths per cent.
"Estimating the current crop
it 11,200,000 bales, it means a
ill linkage of 1,277,000 bales or a
rop of 0,023,000 bales for 18091900."
Mr Jesse Hudson brought us the
ongest bean yesterday that we
lave over seen, a little over 24
nehes. He has only one vine,
