TK.?R8 HA VU A HARD TIME. I>iiiic lit Mi.Kef for them to (jet Iii quor In Chai teston. (Newa and Courier, 2>7th.) Finding that it has become dan gerous to haul whiskey and beer j through the streets of the city in url- [ vate conveyances, because of the re cent activity of the police In confis cating hundreds of dollars' worth of contraband liquor, and that the store house system was equally defective because of the vigilance of the State constabularly the blind tigers, ac cording to the police, have resorted to the Southern Express Company to carry liquor to private residences, from where it ls distributed to vari ous blind tigers by Illicit dealers, . that ls, If lt escapes detection by the ' raiding squads. Liquor shipped into the State cannot be refused by the Southern Express Company, and at the same time may not. be seized as contraband by the police while In transit. The moment, however, lt leaves the hands of the driver of the express wagon lt becomes lawful prey for the police, provided the latter have evidence to the effect that the consignment ls intended for the Ille gal liquor Interests. Police Sergt. Quinn and lils squad were accordingly busy yesterday In following the wagons of the Express Company to all parts of the city, and several large consignments were bag ged In this way. The hauls of the police, including those made from private conveyances and after the stuff had left the Southern Express r C 'inpany's wagons, amounted to 60 quarts and 454 one-half pints of whiskey, mostly of the "Peach and Honey" brand, lt ls claimed by the police that several consignments were disowned by parties at whoso residences they were about to be delivered under the eyes of the raid ing squad. The liquor was then car ried back to the ?nices of the South ern Express Company and is being carefully watched by the police. It was reported yesterday that a citizen had served the chief of police and the members of the raiding squad with claim and delivery papers in connection with two cases of li quor, which, he claims, had been seized by the police, although the liquor had been Intended for person al use. The haul ls said to have con sisted of several hundred half-pints of whiskey, valued at between $'10 and $4 0. Chief of Police Boyle was ask ed yesterday evening concerning the report, but the police head stated that no papers had been served on him or any member of the police de partment. The State raiding squad yesterday morning mnde the second big haul of the week by seizing fifty gallons of liquor at the extreme west en/i of Grove street, In the northern part of the city, from the cellar of a private residence. The stuff had evidently been beached by a vessel from the Ashley river and left at the house for tho blind tiger agents to distribute about the city. The whiskey consist ed of two ten-gallon kegs of rye, ono keg of old gin and two casks of the best corn "licker." NOTES PROM SOUTH UNION. A Banner Sunday School-Mission ary Meeting September otb.

To have a friend, trvo and tried, is to have one of the.sweetest gifts that lifo can bring. To be a friend ls to have a solemn and tender edu cation of soul from day to day. A friend gives confidence in life, and makes us outdo ourselves; a friend remembers us when we have forgot ten ourselves. It takes a great soul to be a true friend-a large, catholic, steadfast and loving spirit. One must forgive much, forget much and forbear much, lt costs to be a true and faithful friend, or to have a friend. There ls nothing In life, ex cept motherhood, that cosU, so much. It costs time, affection, strength, pa tience and a lot of love. To be a lov ing friend is one of the best gifts. Love does not have to be tethered, either in time or eternity. The in fluence of a sympathetic friend ls as eternal as time, as warming to the heart as the sun's rays to the chilled earth, and as pure as the heart of man when he first awoke In the Gar den of Eden. It ls a great and solemn thing to ?ay to another hui ian soul, "Your joys shall be my joys, and your sor rows shall be my ?orrows; In ab sence you shall be near; you shall never be so far from me but that I can hear your voice in the twilight and In tho night season. Though land and sea divide us. you shall yet walk by my side and kneel with me in prayer; still I shall feel the touch of your hand, and rejoice In your sympathy; your letters shall make me strong and glad; to you 1 may speak the deepest thought s of my heart; with you alone I laugh; with you alone may I shed tears and not he ashamed." In this life we meet and clasp hands and part with loving fare wells. But lu the great hereafter there shall be neither weeping nor any sound of sighing, and there shall be no parting. "And there will he no night there." J. Bussell Wright. Richland, S. C. CHILI) KIDNAPPED AT TOPEKA. Little li ve-Year-Obi (Bri Has Had a Checkered Career. Topeka, Kans., Aug. 21.-Horn In a hospital five years ago. exhibited In an Incubator at a world's fair, the cause for several year's litigation, and kidnapped to-day, ore the expe riences which already have come to little Marion Bleak ley. She was kid napped this morning from the home of her mother, and at a late hour to night the kidnappers were still at large. Two men o"d a woman were en gaged In the kidnapping, sud the child was obtained only after an ex change of shots, w'ich, however, went wide of their mark. The kid nappers fled lu a buggy. The police were notiPed Immediately and a posse were soon in pursuit. Mrs. Charlotte Bleakley, who was awarded the child by the Federal courts two years ago, lived with her mother. She worked as a stenogra pher. The little girl, who ls five years old, had been carefully guarded in Topeka, and constantly attended. This morning, a woman ostensibly selling soap, appeared at the Bleak ley home. A half hom later a buggy In which were two men and the same woman, appeared at the house. One of the men nllghted and en tered the yard where the child was playing with a young man in whose charge she had been left. As the kidnapper ran toward her the young man attempted' to Interfere. The kidnapper shot at him. but missed. He then knocked the man down with his revolver, carried the child to the buggy and drove off. A large posse was soon in pursuit. Marion Bleakley has had a stormy career. She was born In a hospital at St. Louis and was placed in one of the incubators shown at the exposi tion there. While there she was for mally adopted by Mrs. .las. G. Bark ley, of Moline. 111. Mrs. Bleakley signed a release, but she afterwards sued lo recover the child and was successful in the Illinois courts. She brought the little girl to Kansas and she was kidnapped from the mother in Montgomery county, but later was recovered. The young man who was In charge of tin' child to-day was Clarence Bel knap, of Jackson, Tenn., a cousin of Mrs. Bleakley. The buggy In which the kidnap pers escaped was lound at I o'clock to-day at a point two miles from where the child was stolen. Only one rumor as to the whereabouts of the kidnappers has come in. A mes sage to the chief of police this after noon staled that a party In an auto mobile answering the description of the kidnappers had been seen eight miles south of Lnwrence. Kansas City officers are watching tho approaches to that city in an ef fort to head off the fugitives before they get out of Kansas. Tho penalty for kidnapping in Kan sas ls a penitentiary sentence of from six months to five years. The automobile supposedly In use by the kidnappers had been kept at a local garage for two days, and was driven by a lame chauffeur. In rnislng the displacement of its battleships to 26,000 tons, the Uni ted States government has produced a ship which far. exceeds the largest contemporary battleships built or building of any foreign navy. v UM I. KOA MS FAY TAXES. Their Aggregate Vulue Ha? Keen Re lK>rted at $41,052,520. Columbia, Aug. 27.-The compila tion of railroad assesmenU for the present year, mude recently by the State board of railroad assessors, shows that the aggregate railroad property in South Carolina is $41, 962,520, as compnred with $41, 882,332 for the year 1908. an in crease in valuation of $70,188. lt was not expected that there would be a large Increase in the assessments this year, because of the fact that ru'.lroads ware very big losers by the August floods of 1908, and they havo not fully recovered from the effects i of the flood yet. In this connection last year there was an appeal made to the board and the General Assem bly was informed of the reasons for the deductions In the assessments of 1907 and 1908. The report just compiled shows the following facts as to the railroads of this State: Total value, $41.952.520; total value of tracks, $4 0,630,838; miles of track, 2,811; value of depots, $582,044; value of wood an J water stations, $108,912; machine shops, $30,200; value of stationary en gines, $900; value of tools and ma chinery. $02,109; value of buildings. $2(52.101; value of lots, $150,530; value or lands, $124,820; total value of all items, save trackage, $ 1.321,682. The aggregates are as follows: Southern. x$ 1 9,821,956; Atlantic Const Line, $15,738.170: Seaboard. $4.403,139; other lines, $1,989,255; grand total, $41,952,520. In 1908 the report o? the com troller general shows that the South ern's assessment was $19,820.815; Coast Line, $16,751,938; Seaboard, $4.403,189; other lines, $1,946,640; among which the Augustn-Aiken road is assessed at $127.658.

(Orangeburg Evening News.) Last night another Inscription and a piece of crape was attached to the door of the retail dispensary in this city, and this morning quite a num ber stopped on their way to work and read the paper. The inscription was a rather long one this time, and a part of the writing copied is as be low: "Dead! Dead! Dead! ''All friends, acquaintances and relatives of Senator Benjamine Ryon Tillman will be deeply grieved to learn of the sudd. Q and unexpected demise of his most favorite son, 'G. M. I.' The poor fellow has made his last trip through the Rye. It is pleasant Indeed, however, to note that G. M. I. died In good spirits. "All sympathizers are requested to meet around the funeral bier one week hence. The law making it nec essary for G. M. I. to lie in state." There were several other para graphs added to the above on the In scription, and it was signed "A Friend In Need." To Try the Grafters. Unless the plans of Attorney Gen eral Lyon miscarry, the alleged graft cases in connection with the old dis pensary are to be tried in Columbia this month, and Hon. R. W. Mem mlnger ls to preside, Among those already under indictment in connec tion with the alleged irregularities of the dispensary are: W. O. Tatum, John Black, John Bell Twill, L. W. Boykln. Jos. B. Wylie, J. W. Rawlin son, W. A. Byers, J, S. Far nu m and Norton A. Goodman, lt ls commonly understood that there are to be still other Indictments on the same ac count. The enses, if they come up, will attract very general Interest, not only throughout South Carolina, but over the country. There ls said to be a lot of strong evidence against the accused.

( Progressive Farmer. ) Let the peas grow until the pods turn yellow, and then there ls no hay more easy to cure well than cow peas, notwithstanding all the talk about the difficulty In curing them. They will cure If you just let Urem, and do not go to monkeying with all sorts of contrivances to spoil them. 1 had a letter to-day from a far mer who said that he would not have barn room for his pea crop and want, qd to know If they would keep well stacked. He really answered his own question, ns he said that a neighbor had stacked some when well wilted and Ump, and they heated and steam ed. But to his surprise, he found that they cured perfectly. If he had opened the stacks and tried to cool them oft, he would, doubtless have had moldy hay. Mow the peas In the morning, and. if possible, put a tedder behind the mower to keep them tossed up and hasten the wilting. Rake the morn ing mowing Into windrows that af ternoon. Turn them the next morn ing and let Ile till afternoon while cutting more. Cock them that after noon, and when the hay In the cocks cnn be taken and twisted hard, and no sap runs to the twist, haul them In. If to go into stncks, make the stacks well, and rake down the sides, but cove, the tops ot the stacks with straw or dry hay. This hay will cure, even If the stacks heat. Put some rails under the stacks to keep the hay off the ground and pre vent Its absorbing mosture from the ground, and you have as good hay as In the barn. / Beginning With Stock. The man who begins the breeding of live stock should have a definite purpose or object lu view, and then select a breed having special quali ties in the line desired. This ls tn age of specialization, and the animal bred, fed and trained to do a cer tain line of work will usually do lt most profitably. We can, for the present, advantageously allow others more skilled in the business to grow the pure bred animals for breeding purposes, except in certain limited special cases The average farmer will find lt more profitable to grow animals for the production of foods for man. What ls needed Just at present, and to start with, ls a few more dairy cows, or a few more beef cattle; a few more horses and mules; a few more hogs, and a few more sheep grown on the farm. These should always be from pure bred sires, and should be fed from the products of the farm. Humus, and How to (?ct lt. We had a letter the other day from a reader who wished to tell other readers how to raise corn. His pre scription was short and simple: Put corn stalks or green pine boughs In a furrow, bed on this furrow and plant the corn. Now, this man had really found out one important fact-that his soil sadly needs humus; but he had not found out how to get that humus. Imagine a man putting pine boughs or corn stalks along all the rows In a twenty-acre corn field, and think ing that he was doing profitable work! It ls just such wasteful and laborious "fiddling" about and "mak ing believe" at farming tim* alls the South to-day. What that .nan wants to do is to sow his corn land in cow peas and then put in some winter growing crop. Then the next season he can grow pens or soy beans, or peanuts or even sweet potatoes on it, sow it In crimson clover, plow the Clover under and thereby add more humus and more nitrogen to his soil in two years than he would get In a life-time of monkeying with corn stalks and pine houghs. Those corn stalks have a consid erable feeding value If properly handled, and the manure they would make would he worth more than the stalks bedded in the rows as he de scribes. Yet he evidently thought his plan good for the soil. We must count the cost of our labor in count ing the cost of a crop. We have been doing so much un profitable labor which we might have avoided that lt is hard for us to get out of the habit. We must get out, however, and get down to genuine farming. If your soil needs humus-as most Southern soils do-get lt by the growing of leguminous crops and the feeding of live stock; don't go to playing about, filling furrows with corn stalks and making beds over them, doing a lot of needless work and merely returning to the soil a small part of what has been taken from lt. { Tho hope of the farmer lies not in a few quack methods nnd spec tacular discoveries, but in the old fundamentals of genuine, all-round "good farming."
