Negro Boy Drownoi. Coroner Owens was called to Beech Island on Friday to investigate the drowning of Henry Hazel, a negro boy, which occurred Wednesday afternoon. The boy was bathing in a pond near Hankinson’s store. He, being unable to swim, was bathing in the pond close to the edge and thinking it was not | deep farther out, waded out and fell into a hole over his depth and drowned before help cou;d reach him The coroner’s jury brought in verdict of ins death having been caused by accidental drowning. The Press The Los Angeles Herald, with its an nouncement of plans for the future,) very appropriately prints the following little poem, entitled “The Press:” I am a king, a paradox, a fiend ; The world’s great pulse, the lifeblood j of its trade: A hell of vice a shrine where nuns have prayer; j A sesame to all that craft has screened j I am the Proteus of the teeming earth, ; Minerva-born and offspring of the pen, j A mightv school house for the minds j of men, j A messenger of love and death and birth. I am the Held where bloodless wars are fought. The knife that cuts into the heart of shame. The hand that weaves the laurel wreath of fame. The advocate of labor and of art. I am the searchlight justice turns on crime; I crush, exalt and lead the stumbling throng, I give the world its laughter, tears and song. Behold in me the masterpiece of time. Ah, me the power no moital can sup press ! I am your slave—command me if you care— I am your master—spurn me if you dare!

The first bale of this year’s cotton crop was received at Augusta on Mon day, from farmer Iris Brabham of Hat- tieville, Barnwell county. It weighed 468 pounds and was sold at auction for 19 7 ' 8 cents per pound to U. P. Follin. The city authorities have torn off the half-burned second story of the old city hall, and will put a good roof over the first story wherein is the guard house, and a general warehouse. This im provement will be of value and make the prisoner’s quarters more comforta ble. Mr, J. R.

Many people in Aiken will learn with sincere regret of the death of Mr.Chas. F. Moog, which occurred at his home in Baltimore. Md., Wednesday the 26th ] July, after "a long and painful illness.

On Tuesday night, in Austin, at midnight the ther mometer marked 90s , and the day be- forc had been at 105 o in the shade At night many people had to leave their sleeping rooms and remain in the streets, an unprecedented thing in a Southern city. A letter recieved from Secretary Har- yie Jordan announces that the date of the Southern Cotton Growers’ associa tion convention to be held in Asheville N. C. has been changed from Aug, 16 to S ipt. 6. The reason assigned for the change is the fact that most of the growers would be busy with theircrops about that time. The announcement has been made of the dissolution of the law firm of Bellinger a Townsend, composed of former Attorney General Bellinger and the present Assistant Attorney General Townsend. The dissolution is only made because the duties of the assist ant attorney general are such as pre vent Mr. Townsend from giving nec essary attention to business of the firm A mere law in name is worse than no law at all, because a law is equivo- lent to an oath and is supposed to ema nate from the people. Do t he people care to be stultified by the presence of laws i a ^ e- on the statute books t hat are not en-j Many forced? or who is it that is justified by 1 their presence there with no prospect of ever becoming creditably operative. A prohibition law will be no more effec tive than the dispensary law. But long may the country be delivered from such moral shams as the dispensary system and prohibition. k. Dr. Walter 8. Hay. The many friends of Dr. Walter S Hay will regret to hear that he died Friday morning at Aiken, where he came about two w.eeks ago hoping to benefit his health by a change of cli mate and skilled medical attention. In the death of Dr. Hay. Allendale, and Barnwell county, have met with a dis tinct loss. He was chairman of the board of health of Allendale and prom inent in all public enterprise for the up building of the town. He served his county faithfully in the war between the states, and since has had a very large practice in that town and the sur rounding country. He left a wife, three sons and two daughters. Abundant Crops Promised. The farmers generally state that they are now generally up with their work, and that Aiken county promises to yield as line crops of cotton, corn, peas, and potatoes as it has ever done. Of late there have been general rains all over the county, which come just in time. The cotton crop is splendid in certain places The good farmers have good crops of cotton, which shows that where there was proper cultivation and fertil ization the crop has responded propor tionately. Several farmers have stated that they have better crops than they had last year, although the qualifica tion is added that they wiil not make as much cotton as they made last year j for the reason that they have lessaere- Won the West Point Appoiatmoat. In accordance with the report of tlu farmers say it has cost them more this year to make cotton than last year, and it has been fortunate for these that their acreage was reduced, because they have had less crop to at tend to, and with greater attention and work required by the crop that is grow ing, it has been an advantage to have a I smaller acreage, and the results appa- | rently prove this conclusion. Many of the farmers had too large a crop, or A FACT PROVEN. Should Convince Even the Most Skep tical of Its Truth. If there is the slightest doubt in the minds of any that Dandruff germs do not exist, their belief is compelled by the fact that a rabbit innoculated with the germs became bald in six weeks’ time. It must be apparent to any person therefore that the only prevention of baldness is the destruction of the germ— which act is successfully accomplished in one hundred per cent, of cases by the application of Newbro’s Herpicide. Dandruff is caused by the same germ which causes baldness and can be pre vented with the same remedy—Xewbro’s Herpicide. Accept no substitute.

Grave Trouble Foreseen It needs but little foresight, to tell, that when your stomach and liver are badly affected, grave trouble is ahead, unless you take the proper medicine for your disease, as Mrs. John A. Young, of Clay N. Y., did. She says: “I had neu ralgia of the liver and stomach, my heart was weakened and I could not eat. I was very bad for a long time, but in Electric Bitters I found just what I needed, for they quickly relieved and cured me,’, Best medicine for weak women. Sold under guarantee by H. H. Hall, and W.

On last Sunday the following changes went into effect in the schedules of the Southern railroad ; Train No. 130 for Columbia leaves Augusta 10:30 p m. instead of 7 :30 p. m. ; Batesburg 1 :30 a. m, instead of 10: 35 p. m ; arrives at Columbia 3:30 a. m. instead of 12:30 a. m. No. 233 leaves Edgefield 2:00 p. m instead of 1:15 p. m ; arrives Aiken 3:05 instead of 2:00. No. 234 leaves Aiken 4:02 p. m. in stead of 4:20 p.m.; arrives Edgefield 4:55 p. m. instead of 5:20 p. m. No. 134 leaves Augusta 3:30 p. m. in stead of 3:55 p. m.; Trenton 4:37 p. m. insfead of 5:00 p. in ; leave Batesburg Names Cannot Be Erased From Petition. An interesting point has been raised whether a voter can take his name from a list at any time before the election has been held. If a pe it ion is in any way close to* the number of votes re quired for the calling of an election, the question is whether a sufficient number might not be induced to take their names from the list. As far back as 1883 the then attorney General, Mr. Townsend, rendered an opinion which is no doubt as good to day as it then was. He then said : “You ■ have no more right to erase your name from the petition than you have to open the ballot box and take out your ballot after you have cast it.” This opinion was rendered in connec tion with the dispensary situation in Newberry County twelve years ago. Fine Promise of Meteoric Showers. An astronomical authority, writing in Nature, calls the attention of ama teurs to he fact that this is the most interesi ing period of the year for the meteoric observer, as the skies are of ten clear and with meteors visible in more than usual abundance The Per- seid meteors will soon begin to make their periodic visit in large numbers to the earth’s atmosphere. Though the maximum display of the great showers is not due till August 10. stragglers from the main body of this meteoric system are now noticable night aftei night, and they will gradually become more numerous and continue to illu mine the sky until the fourth week of August. Knights Of Honor Rates. It is not thought that the Knights of Honor of this state will take any con certed action on the recent increase of insurance rates for all policy holders of the order who are over sixty, but the matter is being very generally dis cussed. A number of lodges through out the state have thought of taking the matter up at the next meeting of the supreme lodee, but it is believed that the older members of the lodge will simply abide by tlie . decision.
