A Fine FieM ol'Corn Mr W .1 Culp, the manager of Heath, Springs ?Sc Co's Foster farm, can probably show the fino-t fedd of corn in the State. Mr .1 !' Heath of Georgia, who is here on a visit, says lie has seen nothing to etpial it in Georgia, and he estimates the yield on the 1 r?0 acres at <5,nod bushels, or an average of 10 bushels per aere. His estimate aceords with the estimate of most every one who has s'l'ii it. though some few say it will not average more than .'>5 bushels to the acre. All agree there are some acres which will make 75 bushels. The rows aie 4 feet apart ami many of tho stalks are not more than 10 inches apart in the row. The field is pist North of town and it is worth the time of anv one to go over | and see it. lTntil this year this tic!?1 has been planted in cotton since Heath Springs have owned it. I'or Shoot ing on tlie Public Highway. Very few people regard the law against shooting within 50 yards of the public highway but dim Dixon, colored, will be apt to regard it from this time on. lie was convicted before Magistrate Caskey Monday of this of- | fence and has gone to work on ^ I the county roads for 30 days in lieu of paying a tine of $10. Dixon was standing at the j edge of the road in a thicket near Capt Hives' last Sunday afternoon i and tired his pistol just as Mr; Braska Moore and his sister were j passing in a buggy returning homo from preaching.' The ball went J u.. \i.. m ?f i i._ IIV nil MUUI'U Him IJC thought the negro was shooting at P ? r him. Tho negro ran off into the . woods, Mr Moore following after him as soon as he could quiet his mule. Capt Hives ran out and remained with Miss Moore while Mr Ilraskn made a thorough i search of the woods. Not finding! the negro he brought his sister J on home and returned with his' father and Mr L S Elliott when thev found Dixon at a woman's; house in the neighborhood. lie claimed that the discharge of his pistol was accidental, lie was! indicted and ? o meted as above 1 stated and may have to answer to j a charge of carrying a concealed : pistol. [ For The Ledger. Items From Chesterfield. Mr. Editor : ? We are having tine seasons over here, and the j crops in Chesterfield county arc ! . the hot I have seen m some time. I The farmers nil wear a big smile I o hear the Chesterfield people talk, the railroad from Lancaster to Clieraw is almost completed. Some of the little kidsare looking for the train every day and every time they hear a whistle blow ! thev squall out, "Ma, the train is j a-eomin' and they stand and , ' watch hut it never gets in sight. However, we Chesterfield people hope to see the day soon when it will come in sight. The Chesterfield hoys have a fine hall team and will play a match game with the Charleston team ahout the 10th of August. There is a lot of sickness in Chesterfield hut only a few deaths have occurred. Miss Annie Calo has l>een vory low with fever hut she is improving and we hope will soon recover. Single Boy.

The promoters are satis- \i \ lied that it will be a protitable in- , V^' vestment for the company that , btulds it, and a great benefit to a , x A large and rich section of country. I. . * * f Along the line from Cheraw to j Lancaster it would pass through ^ as fine farming section as is to be ' y ^ found in the Stale so far as natur- V * j al advantagesareconcerned. There ^ is also excellent timber along the ^ t I 'a entire route, fine streams, and an j 1 economical and industrious pro ^ pie The road would run through ! ^ tine kaolin deposits and take in . the rich Jefferson gold mining re- , ^ gion. In fact the road would ; ^ doubtless enter Brewer mine, ^ * possibly the richest in the south. I ^ 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 as- ! ^ sures its early completion. i.( Farmers Urged to Hold Cotton. ^ ? A Natchez, Mich., July 29.?In i its leading editorial tomorrow, the . ^ Natchez Democrat will make an \f appeal to cotton farmers to hold ? j| back one-third of their ginnings until after December or January. "The two thirds will bring nearly as much money, marketed in this way, as the whole crop marketed in the usual "ay," says ^ the editorial. "The government A says the July condition is three and four-tenths per cent, less or a total depreciation of eleven and ^ f four tenths per cent. "Kstimating the current crop at 11,200,000 bales, it means a shrinkage of 1,277,000 bales or a * t crop (?f 9,923,000 bales for 18991900." ^ Mr Jesse Hudson brought us the ^ longest bean yesterday that we \t have ever seen, a little over 24 A inches. He has only one vine, it growing among his corn.?Clicster Lantern. jj ; Wm Does Your : J : Head Ache? :: p Are your nerves weak? t Can't you sleep well? Pain 4 it * in your back? Lack energy? F.
