Dr. Cooke, who first discovered the ISorth Pole, seems to be cooking Peary allright enough. , P - = | Charleston is making great preparations for the entertainment of hun<lreds of visitors from all parts of Sooth Carolina during the week' beginning Oct. 25. I . That Southern cotton mills are about to close down in order to curtail the production of cotton goods, is the announcement made from Char lotte. This will very li&eiy cause i>ne price of the raw material to fall off. The mill men claim that they are losing money on 13 cents cotton. Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, challenged William Jennings Bryan to a joint debate on the question of tree raw material, the debate to take place in Atlanta. Mr. Bryan refused to meet Senator Bailey on the ground that "it would mitigate against Democratic success in the next congressional election." With the bankers, merchants, lawyers, doctors, preachers and other Jbijjfliness and professional men of Charleston behind it, the city of Charleston is announcing a music and festival week which should take hundreds of South Carolinians to "The City by the Sea" between October 26 < and October $0. * . . '.. \ c # ?v ?' y \ - . Ifrcotton continues to sell' around the 13 cents rnari; there is, no reason why the farmer# of the country should / complain of "hard times." Even if there be a slight falling off in the crop froA last year, the increase in price will more than make up lor the short? . W Vi w: age. The farmers have every reason to feel proud. ..

Roof is keeping right np with the market, and the farmer who sells his cotton here has the satisfaction of . Knowing that he is getting the -very Jiighest price. - * ' / > - / Ex-Gov. M. B. McSweeney died in <a hospital in Baltimore on the 29th, after a lingering illness. He was one % of the best known and most highly fc^loyed men in the State. He was ; prominent in the politics of the State . for a number of years, being Governor from 1899 to 1901, when he retired from public life. He was editor of the Hampton Guardian and stood high with the members of the Fourth estate. Judge John S. Wilson made a most lavuruuie impitraaiun upwu ?w wui ^rovple while presiding over the criminal court here during the last two weeks. He is fair and impartial in the disv charge of his duties, yet fearless and determined. He is pleasing and cour teous to all members of the bar and the officials of the court, and commands the high respect of all. It i9 very gratifying to hi 3 : friends here?

With the acquittal of Farnum and a mistrial ordered by the ;'udge in the case of John Black, i* the result of the first efforts of the State in the alleged graft cases. Whatever the final outcome of these cases, there has been enough told to convince any reasonable mind that there has been a lot of wrongdoing in connection with the operation of the liquor business in this State. There has been enough light turned on already to disgust the people of the State with the handling of the liquor business in any shane or form, and it should have its weight with the next legislature. The people have heard enough to convince them of the fact that the handling of liquor in any manner is dangerous and should be prohibited. It is now up to the gentlemen who make our laws to give the people a State-wide prohibition law. How any man can stand for the sale of liquor by any county, state or individual in view of all the rottenness that has been brought out, we are at a loss to know. Whether any of the men yet to be tried are convicted or not, the verdict has been rendered by the people, not only of this commonwealth, but of the entire country. | DON'T EXPERIMENT You Will Make no Mistake if You Follow This Lexington Citizen's Advice.

The plaintiff's iel't leg was broken and he was in the hospital sometime for treatment. The jury was unanimous in their verdict and were only out something over an hour when they returned a verdict for $20,000. Holcomb was represented by Messrs. j W. Boyd Evans and E. J.

It is alleged in the j complaint that the election in which I the bonds we^e voted was illegal. The order is made returnable at Edgefield, 011 the 12tb of October. The plaintiffs are represented by Messrs. Efird & Drelier. I .. Dispensary Burned. The dispensary at New Brookland was burned at an early hour Monday morning together with the drug store of Dr. F. L. Sandel. Only about $100 worth of liquor was saved. There was about $1,200 worth of stock, but as there was insurance to the amount of $1,000, the county's loss will be small. Thie leaves only two dispensaries running in this county?the one at Lexington and the one at Peak. The dispensary at Gilbert closed out its stock about two weeks ago. Clerk's Sales. - Monday was salesday and a very large crowd was on hand. The following property was sold by Clerk of Court Frank W. Shealy: The Lewis Head land, 135 acres, to E. L.
