Bowman has been quite successful ?this season so far, in competing with other sister towns in the handling ; -of cotton, and seed. There are sev eral live buyers here and the market lias been unusually active. The heavy thunder storm of last week .left many places in the public ' roads of this section in bad shape and ?streams are still full, running over ?jdam? in a number of instances. 'The c?Pfi drop; has nearly all been harvested and the general yield i? j considerably above the average. Not- , withstanding this "some fellows" will have to buy again next year, fatting two much energy on the cot ton crop to the neglect of corn. There are some remarkable crops of crab grass, now growing in some ' cotton fields that would pay well to harvest "cotton, and all", the hay being worth more than the cotton. Some of these will likely he gather- , ?sd later, but will then be almost worthlese'as'food stuff for stock.' The pea crop promises an unusual -fine yield, better than for some years. BUSINESS BRISK.

A meeting of the Chamber of Com merce was held at the City H<:i on last Friday evening. The meeting was hot as large a one as desired, so the election of a commercial secretary was postponed until next Friday eve ning, when every member who con tributed to the employing of a sec retary will be present, Tn the mean time Messrs. B. H. Moss, W. L. Mose ley, -.7. W. Smoak, Sol Kokn, Fred Wannamaker and Clifford Berry were constituted a committee to look out for a slitable man for the position. The committee appointed to solic it funds for the payment of the sec retary,, reported through the Hon.. B. H. Moss that over $900 had .been secured for the purpose. In connec tion with this report it was suggested that the secretary be paid $600 and that $40.0 be used for. office expenses. A number of people have been sug gested for the position, but nothing has been done towards electing any particular man. That will be done on^Friday evening. A letter was read from the com mittee having in charge the arrange ments for Old Veterans Day and ask ing that a donation of $25 he given to help pay the expenses of that oc casion. The amount asked for was given, and a committee, composed of Messrs. W. C. Crum, J. P. Ma theney, T. O. S. Dibble, M. K. Jef fords and Dr. D. D. Salley was ap pointed to cooperate with the Con federate Camp in entertaining the old heroes on Old Veterans' Day. It was resolved that the amounts put up by the Chamber and Mr. J. J. Timmis, of New York, some years ago in connection with the Public Service Corporation be taken in charge for the Chamber. Mr. Tim mis not having complied with his agreement. The People's Bank, which held the money, agreed to this on condition that it was given a bond of indemnity for $2,000. The bond will .be arranged and the money transferred to the credit of the Cham ber of Commerce. The amount on deposit i* about $1,000. WANT LEVER'S PLACE. The Republicans May Put Out Two . Candidates. /The State says "Congressman Lev er from this district will very likely have opposition for his seat in the national house of representatives by the negro Richardson of Sumter, who is said to be prominent in Republican politics In this State. This is not official, for nothing official is ever known concerning the status of Re publican affairs in this State. How ever, at the recent negro Republicai convention in this city, the statement was made by several of the delegates that Richardson's name had been placed to oppose Congressman Lerer at a district convention held sever al weeks ago in Sumter. "This announcement prove right interesting when the rumor that there would be a white Republican convention held in Columbia. It may mean that there will be three candi dates for the office of congress should the white Republicans decide upon a ticket. It is the business of the district conventions ;o nominate can didates for congress. Conventions are expected to be held in all of the districts." The Republican, white or black, who rus against Lever this fall is a fool. The next House will be Demo cratic and Republican candidates will not be even allowed the $2,000 ex pense account which the Republican Congressmen have kindly allowed them for many years. Congressional contests from the South will get a decided back set from the Democratic congress. HUMAN HEARTS. Theatre Season to Open on Tuesday Evening With Good Show.

Like Shore Acres and the Old Homestead, time only increases "Human Hearts" hold upon the hearts of the people.

Out of the Ginger Jar. A laugh can hardly be called the center of gravity. The self centered man finds no company so agreeable as his own. The wise man will not disturb a sitting hen nor a quarrelsome wo man. Why are some newspapers like a man with cold feet? Because they suffer from poor circulation. Twentieth century dialogue. Jones "How did you travel, by motor or train?" Smith: By neither; I flew." '.Tingle, jingle, little dime, I'd like to keep y#ou all the time; But you've such a nimble way That I cannot make you stay. There is a man in a neighboring town who is so slow that his neigh bors say the only thing he was evar known to catch was the measles. All fires are costly, but the cost of burning tobacco in this country an nually foots an appalling sum, and there is no insurance recoverable. One of the vainest regretB of p.dult life is that when we are sorely hurt and buffeted we can no longer go and tell mother and get her blessed balm and comfort. It is sad to contemplate the num ber of men who are willing to go without food and clothing In order that they may contribute to the pros perity of the saloon-keeper. From October FARM JOURNAL.
