I Wednesday morning of this week, August 22d, Mr .1 M Hood marketed the first bale of county . raised cotton at 0$. Half houi j later Mr W .1 Cunningham brought in a h?l? wAii?v?in.? I ha, which he sold to the Heath 5 B & M Co, at 0.40. 1 The past four years Mr Cun^ ningham his been the first in with a new hale. Last yea*1 he marketed the first hale Aug 17th; in ' 1808, Aug 16th; in 1897, Sep1 7 8d; and in 1896, Aug 3d. In 1 1896 ho had picked over 60,00(1 pounds of seed cotton during the month of August. F _ ' Waylaid Itut Not ltohhed. On Tuesday morning last, Mr Traxler, a drummer, had a thrilling experience on the public highway about live miles this aide of ' Kershaw. Ho was driving along, 1 about 3 o'clock, when he noticed a man behind running to overtake ' his buggy with an upraised cluh in his hand h# nr. r. UMX4 UV I'lOU/l Dll he put whip to his horse anil out1 ran the would-he robber. Several 1 it seemed that the felolw ! would overtake hiiu l>ut he finally ' pave up the ehake. Mr Traxler supposed that some one must have heard him the evening before at the stable order the team sent to his hotel at 2 o'clock the following morning, as 1 j he wanted to make the trip to Lan; caster while it was cool, and have i observed a roll of bills ha exhibit ed when paying for the turnout. He thought the man had fallen asleep on the roadbide awaiting him and that hie buggy in passing awoke him. Thus he accounte for his narrow escape. i | Colored Society Hall and a Cot' i tago Burned. The colored Burial Aid Society ' Hall and a cottage on the lot ad* joining belonging to C D Jones, Esq, were burned about 4 o'clock last Wednesday morning. The Aid Society carried insurance to 4 I * j me amount of $200. Mr Jones bad insurance of $250. on his cottage. The cottage wai occupied by Caper* Cautben, col, who recently sold it to Mr Jones. It developed after the burning that Caper* had a policy for $350 on the building taken out before he j *old it to Mr Jones and of which ne said nothing to Mr 9 p ~ *hout. It has further developed that Cauthen was under the impression that he could collect thit policy notwithstanding he had transferred the property, all ol whhh causes suspicion to rest on him. The fire was undoubtedly of incendiary origin. The hall where it originated, had not beer used that night and there was nc way for it to have caught afire. When discovered the flames had burst through the i oof and partiei first at the scene say there wa? every evidence of kerosene having been used. 5 The house of Richard Belk, col, . also came near burning. It wat . wiioin 12 or 15 feet of the Caothen houae and it ie<|uired f hard work to save it.
