SPECIAL FOll CORN SHOW PARTY. I WiNon and Committee Coming to C<?111 111 I> 121. I I Columbia, Jan. iM.All railroad and: other arrangements have b-en per- j fected for the visit to Columbia of! the Hon. James Wilson, secretary of ; agriculture, and the agriculture com-; mittee of the National House of Representatives, who will attend the! Fifth National Corn Exposition here on Saturday, Febuary 1. Saturday is one of the featuredays on the Exposition prgrom, this being Boy's day, the close of the exposition school for prize winners, to be conducted during I the first week of the expostion. This is said to be the first time that; an exposition has been visited by an entire congressional committee, and the acceptance of the invitation by the - agricultural committee of the house, and by Secretary Wilson, is in the nature of an official recognition of the serious educational purpose back of this great agricultural event. The party will travel in a special I car over the Southern Railway, leaving Washington Friday, January 31. Arriving here Saturday morning, they will spend Saturday and probably Sunday in Columbia. Very likely the prize winner's school will take part in welcoming the party to Columbia. STEAM ROLLER USED. Pres?dent Wisconsin National Bank Says Illegal Means Employed in Carrying Currency Plan. Washington, Jan. 22.?That endorsement of th-e national monetary commission's banking and currency plan - 3 tlio A m.ari/^a.n "was iorceu uiuugu uiv mnv. , Banker's Association convention in! New Orleans by "steam roller" methods, with a great majority of the members unfamiliar with the plan, was charged today before the house currency reform committee today by Andrew J. Frame, president of the Waufteshau, Wis., National Bank. r , / Mr. Frame declared that the American Bankers' Association for years had been a "close corporation" controlled by ten or twelve men. At the New Orleans meeting he said a dozen speeches were made in favor of the commission'ss plans, but those who desired to oppose it wer? kept off the program. J. V. Harwell, a Chicago merchant, urged a modified form of the monetary commission's plan which would nrnvidp district discount associaations r - v - ?v I with a central controlling body with no capital stock nor general functions of a bank. Describing the proposed district bodies. Mr. Farwell explained that they should have authorized stock equal/to ten per c?nt of the capital of the banks ' half paid in; should take eighty per cent' of dead cash reserves in the banks and hold them for common use. and should do business with banks only. Discounts and acceptances allowed to any one bank, he continued, should not exceed the amount of its capital stock?and there should be a fixed rate of discount in each district, the same to all banks under like conditions. The central association, Mr. Farwell said, should hold most of the deposited gold and issue all the notes for th? district associations in return for gold or commercial papers. In the organization of this association or board he proposed to have each district association appoint two members, a banker and a business man, and the J government one member for each dis-1 trict association. All profits above j five per cent on the capital stock of the district associations, ofter allowing for the accumulation of a twenty per cent surplus, he suggested, should go to the government for use in gradual retiring of greenbacks and bonds. _?_ >E(2R0 CAUGHT. Will Minims Will be Tried in Aiken , for Attempted Criminal Assault. Aiken, S. C., Jan. 22.?Posit ively j identified as the negro who one night j. about two weeks ago, boldly attempted j to assualt a respectable white woman J of Aiken, Will Mimms, a young negro about 16 years of age, is in jail and j ' will face the serious charge which has; 1 (been made against him, at the February term of general sessions court. Mimms has been under suspicion since the night the assualt was at- j ' tempted, and the police have been j 1 looking for him, as the description i given Dy me woman ui uci ctasauaiu i fitted his identically, but he has been j in hiding. Chief of Police Jesse George | arrested him yesterday, but the arrest | was kept quiet until this afternoon when it became known that the negro < had been carried into the presence of the woman and that she had positively j identified him. ji One night, two weeks-ago, as she, was on her way to her home in the. suburbs of Aiken, the woman, who is j L t a \vell-k;.o\vn and highly respected | widow, noticed that a negro was fol- I lowing her. When near htr home, the! spot being a little secluded, the negro; hastened his pace and caught up with j her. Bravely she stopped and de- j manded to know where he was going, j He replied that he was on his way to the race track to look for work. The j woman commanded him to pass her; then, and warned him not to be fol- j lowing her. Suddenly the brute sprang at her, and struck her a heavy blow ^ or**Ann/^ I a. a JjU't lTTii LU Liic gluuuu oi^l ^Ci iu\*u and the negro, frightened, ran away. The brutal as-sauIt created considerable excitement at the time, and it is highly probable that had the negro been j caught that night he would have been handled roughly, but the sheriff apprehends no trouble now.

Orangeburg, Jan. 22.-The Orangeburg-Xorth Railroad, which has been in course of construction for some time past, is'rapidly nearing comple-j tion. The road has been built as far! as Raymond, ten miles from North,' and freight trains are being operated! to that point. The whole distance from Orangeburg to North is seventeen miles, and it is expected that1 within the next four months the road j will be coinpleted and both passenger;' and freight trains will be running, thus eiving Orangeburg direct connec tion with the Seaboard Air Line at North. A Feeling Tribute. Clinton Gazette. The sad tragic death by his own hands of Mr. A. Crane Jones, at his! home in Spartanburg some days ago, was a severe shock to his numerous ( friends in Clinton, where Mr. Jones i in his youth was a popular drygoods j salesman. Always seeming cheerful j and happy and readily conversant on, all current topics, it was a pleasure j, to meet and talk with the now deceas- J ed.' His friends, numbering thousands h all over the State,fee] sorely the loss| of A. C. Jones. j Wliat a Pity. Abbeville Press and Banner. What a pity that such a man as A. C. Jones should take his own life. ^ r* # Tl soijciier i oopt*i~s nepui u The following is from the Laurens \dvertiser: ' The report of Hon. R. A. Cooper, so'iciter of the eighth circuit composed of the counties of Abbeville, Greenwood, Newberry and Laurens, js an interesting document, showing the criminal statistics for the past year. The record shows an increase in crime . - ^ - , i over .the year lyii. , During the past year 202 cases were brought to trial in"the circuit and 141 convictions were secured. Of the total number of indictments, thirty-five were for murder, of which eight were found guilty of murder and eleven of manslaughter. There were fourteen cases for violation of the dispensary law, in which convictions were secured for nine. The usual number of in.-ir.tmonrc anrt rnnvictions were secur ed for other crimes. Laurens county lead the other counties in the number of indictments. However, Laurens has the largest population and her officers might he the best, so the :iumb-er of indictments does not necessarily indicate that Laurens had a proportionately larger number of crimes than her sister counties.

Of the difference in rapidity of coming into availability of the sources. We ' " A r Vl i T? H /~>f tVlfi preier 10 get a.uuut j nitrogen from an inorganic source and : two-thirds from an organic source. If clxi of the nitrogen for cotton or corn is to be derived from one source, we would advise the use of an organic j source. Nitrate of soda is immediately a-J vailable to the plant and sulphate of ammonia and dried blood are very rapidly available, dried blood being probably the most rapidly availab'e organic source. We would advise the use of about one hundred pounds per ton of one of the above named sources, and the balance of the nitrogen to j < ??? ? ?moal h i o-}i i come irom culluii accu ui'.u., "-0-grade ground fish, or high grade ta::k-' ! age. We advise the use of the high, grade fish and tankage because the; low grade fish and tankage usually has much fins or bone present, as the case may be, and the nitrogen co.it^Jt is lowered, and, as these materia'.s do not decay as rapidly as the flesh, the nitrogen present is less available, tho> :t ic derived from >'iesn. Bone, especially raw bone, on account 01 | its lasting qualities is high prized as an orchard frtilizer. Cotton se d * i? meal is a good drier and therefore a good source of organic nitrogen. In home mixing we advise the far-! I mers to use only the sources of nitrogen that are known to give good "e- \ sults} such as have been already men-1 tioned. Any or all of the above can be mixed with acid phosphate and potash salts, there beng no incmpoatibilities. T. E. Keitt, Chemist, / SMALL CHANCE FOR RECEPTION, j >*o General Fete Likely for March 4.?

When the Washington in- j auguial committee referred the sub- 1 ject to the congressional inaugural j committee and that body refused to j take cognizance of it, the senate mem- j bers of the committe led bv Senator \ I Overman of North Carolina, inter-j viewed practically al! members' of the j senate. They found a preponderance | Df opinion in opposition to any public- j demonstration during me evenug ; March 4. Reasons given for this conclusion! >vere many. Necessarily the inaugura- j :ion ceremonies, involving a trip to! :he capital participation in the in- j luguration of the vice president and j ^ :he proceedings in the senate, the de- ^ ivery of the inaugural address and I :hat the prolonged review of the in-! g msural procession, are tiresom^ and j ~ t is feared that to follow these with ? i general rec-epton would overtax the e indurance of Gov.
