The acreage is also larger by some disputatious amount, but> the crop is likely to be 1C to 15 pei cent above last year’s.

Of c urse this is subject to the weather for the rest of the season, and in the case of cotton it is necessary to a large crop that the weather should be good through the gathering as well as through the growing season This is especially the case this year through labor scarcity, which makes it desirable to prolong the picking, even though some lateness of growth involves risk of an early frost.

Upon West’s repeating his lan- | guage Mr. Toney jumped cut of his j | buggy and ran back to the buggy j j wherein the two Wests sat and struck I j Spann West with his buggy whip West then drew his pocket pistol and fired, the ball entering one of Mr. To ney’s arms.

The peo ple on the place corroborated West’s statement and he was released. The sheriff has not, however, letup in his search for Spann West. It has been reported that this man is in hiding near Aiken and that he is willing to come in and give up to the sheriff of Aiken county as soon as he can employ a lawyer in Edgefield county. He lias taken no steps towards giving himself up, and avoids the officers ol the law when they go in search of him. Sheriff Raborn went to the neighborhood, in which it was reported that West was hiding, Monday night, but he could find no trace of him. He searched the houses that West has been in the habit of frequenting, but the inmates said that they had seen nothing of him. All candidates’ announcements must be paid for in advance.

Fellow citizens: Since this is the year to elect a Congressman to represen* the people, I hereby announce my can didacy for Congress from this, the Sec ond Congressional district of South Carolina and most respectfully urge the voters to examine my record as a public servant, for not merely a few months, but f‘>r my entire service of six years as a member of the House of Hepresentatives of South Carolina. Truly unfortunate that the Federal l.aws encourage contests in the South; that so many of our representatives are molested, certainly a provision for an allowance of about two thousand dol lars to the contestant, and also to the one whose place is contested for, should be modified or repealed, and forever put an end to the practice T.y reason of a laudable ambition— that of my promotion—coupled with the desire to serve the Second District as I have my home county (promising to contend as earnestly’ and vigorously as in the past for such measures as would be conducive to the best interest of our great country,) I seek the suf frage of my fellow-countrymen. 1 pledge myself to abide by the rules and rcgulat ions of the I >emocratio party and to obey the new election laws (see Sets of the General Assembly 1905 on the subject) governing primary elec tions.

The question as to whether it is ad visable to operate so frequently for ap pendicitis continues to arouse the in terest of French physicians. M Blanchard, a shining light in the French medicai world, now comes for ward with a startling new theory which entirely upsets all preconceived notions. He asserts—and says his as sertion is backed by Prof. Metehnikoff. of the Pasteur institute—that appen dicitis is undoubtedly caused by intes tinal worms. These are of three kinds, and the most dangerous is that known uii-the trygocephal,. which nauses .itlie Abbeville, July 4. N Graydon, . D.-Bruhl, P. Greene, N iekles, . Perrin.

Microscopic examination in every case of appendicitis that has come un der the observation of Prof. Blanchard and Prof. Metchikoff has revealed the presence of these parasites in the ap pendix. "Appendicitis,” *ays Prof. Blanchard, “more especially occurs during the hot weather and although not contagious or infectious, it fre quently assumes the character of an epidemic in certain districts. Now, according to the professor, mar ket gardens in the neighborhood of great cities, such as Paris and London, are frequently manured and fertilized by the deodorized and chemically treated product of the city sewers In these market gardens the vegetable parasites, and especially the eggs of the dreaded trygocephal abound. The professor says that a surgical operation for appendicitis is absolutely unnecessary, a id that it should never be performed unless some hard sub stance such as a cherry stone has been accidentally swallowed by the patient. He 11 ryes legislation to -orbid the use of deodorized and chemically treated sewerage as manure, and that thymol should be extensively used against in testinal worms. “Appendieitis,” adds Prof. Blanchard “when not the consequence ..f the ac- cideti'al swallowing of some hard sub stance, is ui doubtedly caused by the parasite to be found in cabbage, tur nips, carrots, and cauliffov?er. The danger -ies in eating vegetables that have been forced by manure or water ed by contaminated well and spring water.” Chary of Richard Carroll. News and Courier.

The Gov ernor has '•eceived a letter from a Mr. A. J Miller, who seems to be the head of a leading business establishment of Bellefontaine, Ohio, in which he says: “A colored man by the name of Rich ard Oarroil has been here, solicting money for a school that he claims to be the head of in Columbia of your State.
