The circuit court is now busily
engaged on civil cases.
In the course of a conversation
yesterday one of our most success
ful business men said that he re-
gtrded the future of Florence as
very bright. And so it is. Flor
ence is a town of working people.
Th season of long nights and
short days is upon us.
One of our merchants was heard
to say not long ago that the vol
ume of business done in Florence
increases every year. This shows
that, while not inflated by a boom,
our city is progressing solidly and
substantially.
It rained heavily late yesterday
afternoon and last night. Cotton
picking is again interrupted and
cut hay has been caught in the
fields. Yesterday the sun crossed
the equator on his Southward
journey, and disturbance in the
elements is but natural.
The Farmers’ Warehouse has
sold 65,000 pounds of North Caro
lina tobacco this season.
For information w« beg to state
again that the stemmery people,
who buy tobacco at this market
aud neighboring markets, pay
higher prices here than elsewhere.
This means that the man who
grows tobacco benefits himself
when he sells in Florence. Furth
ermore the stemmery people can
afford to pay more in Florence .
elsewhere because they have g«dty parties,♦atrff while Tie

Wright Company ie strictly up to

Constables Fired On.
Greenville, Sept. 21.—An at
tempt to assassinate a party of
dispensary constables was made
last night about 11 o’clock in the
neighborhood of Cripple Creek, a
vicinity where crime and lawless
ness reign supreme, just out of the
city limits, beyond the Air Line
depot.
The constables believe a decoy
was laid for them, and they cer
tainly were shot at from ambush.
For some time they have been in
formed of whiskey selling in Crip
ple Creek, but, suspecting a trap,
refused to walk into it. Lastnight,
Chief Constable LaFar, with con
stable Altom, Bishop, Cooley and
ex-Foliceman Head, acting on in
formation, made a raid on several
places in Cripple Creek. They se
cured some beer, but the place
where they had been told was a
big haul they found nothing, and
this strengthened their suspicions.
Starting back to town 01^ the
road which runs along the South
ern track, they were fired at by
someone 20 or 25 steps in the
rear, standing behind an oak on
the side of a house. Five shots
from a pistol were fired in rapid
succession. Fearing that they
might hit innocent persons in some
nearby house, the officers did not
fire but made a rush on their as
sailant. Failing to find anyone
after diligent search, they then re
turned to town indignant and thor
oughly aroused. The shots went
between the men and over their
heads, whistling uncomfortably
near.
Chief LaFar, in charge of th«
party, is determined to
no names, his suspicions are
fixed upon a white man who is not
entirely unknown to fame, or,
rather, ill fame.

“Col. William Jennings Bryan
passed through the city this morn
ing over the Florida, Central and
Peninsular road.
In reference to his resignation
Mr. Bryan said that he did not
contemplate such a thing at the
present, but that he expected his
regiment to be mustered out. He
said that he w as on his way to I
Washington, but he did not say
whether his trip had any special
reference to his regiment.
He is, however, as much op
posed as ever to “imperialism.”
It is undemocratic he holds, lie-
cause like ourselves, all people
ought to be allowed to choose
whatever kind of government they
wished. Nevertheless it expan
sion is to be the policy of the
country Colonel Bryan will not
kick, he only protests that in his
opinion it is wrong.
Mr. Bryan has confidence th;A
the fall elections will show large
Democratic gains in Congress.
He believes the financial question
is still paramount and will over
shadow any war issues.
Under the circumstances Mr.
Bryan had nothing whatever to
say as to the conduct of the war,
but like a good soldier accepted
conditions as brought about by
his superior officers.
Colonel Bryan was not expected
on the train, but it soon became
noised among the people congre
gated about the depot that be was
aboa|K an d a rush was made to
t least. There was no
tration than this,
ig^colbnel met the
gaze of inquisitive people with
pleasant smile.”—Daily Record.

Congressmen Stokes aud Nor

that it was rather early to talk
about what was going to be done

The TiMES-MESSENGERoffice can’t
afford to charge job work. It pays
cash for material and cash for
labor, and therefore, must have
cash for the work as it is turned
out. This is perfectly reasonable.

QUAJITKKS KOK THE SOL
DIERS SOUTH.
The impression has been sought
to be made, that southern points
would prove unhealthy as winter
ctcps for the soldiers to be ie
taiued in the service. It is singu
lar that such theories should gain
currency aud discussion, m the
face of facts and statistics that
are readily accessible.
Wo stated a day or two ago that
the secretary of war had named
three points in Si uth Carolina,
Charleston, Aiken and Anderson,
as eligible sites for winter camps
and wo added Florence.
We are willing to compare
health reports with any place in
the country. Indeed, it is a strik
ing fact, that small pox has never
taken root here and that in our
history—so far as we can recol
lect—no malignant type of disease
has ever been epidemic in our
midst.
Even in summer, our city re
mains healthy and it has been fre
quently suggested as a good winter
and spring resort for northern in
valids, and in climate, we are will
ing to compare records with any
point in the State outside of Char
leston and Aiken. It would be
very easy for the war department
to consult boards of health for
facts.
