Mr. J. B. Mills has withdrawn ! from the race for magistrate. Mr. Mills stated at the time he announced himself a candidate that he did not want the office and that he was in the field only because it appeared that no one else intended to run. i On the plantation of Cnpt. T. B. Spratt there are twenty-five acres of cotton which is probably unex- 1 celled in this section of the State. 1 The average height of the cotton is about 30 inches, and each stalk appears to be well filled with blooms and squares. In the field there are no thin places, the land having been uniformly fertilized. The appearance of the cotton bespeaks a yield of a bale to the acre. Constable T. A. Mills met with a painful accident while attempt- { ing to cross the tracks of the Southern Railway a few nights ago. He bad been summon* d 1? assist in arresting a negro man who it was thought would arrive on the southbound passenger train with a supply of whiskey for a blind tiger. As the train neared the depot Mr. Mills undertook to hurriedly cross the track, and fell, cutting a painful gash in his lower j lip and dislocating a tooth. The books of the Fort Mill Deni- j ocratic Club are open and citizens of this township who wish to vote At the primary election to be held on August 27th, to nominate Fed eral, State and bounty officers, should request the secretary, Mr. W. Mc. Culp, to enroll their names. The rules of the party require that the club rolls tie closed ten days prior to the primary, after which ( no name will be place thereon. ( There are between 500 and 000 1 Democrats in this township and it < is hoped that uot one of them will lose his vote by neglecting to have 1 bis name enrolled. ; State Reuoion of the Ex-Confederates. The time for the annual reunion of the Condfederate veterans of the South Carolina division is rapidly approach in*;, and Gen. Thomas; Oar wile, commanding the divison, j is hastening the preparations for the gathering of the old soldiers. The annual orator has been select . p(l and Miss Elizabeth Lumpkin, the charming young woman who , won the hearts of the veterans at the reunion in Columbia and made herself famous as an orator, who lias just been elected teacher of elocution at Winthrop college, has been selected to welcome the old soldiers on the part of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Here is Hen. Carwile's general reunion order which has jnst been issued from his headcpiai ters in Kdgefield: J. Having been appointed major general to succeed Gen. C. I. Walker, promoted to command the department Army of Northern \ Virginia by the commanding gen- ( eral in general order No. 2St>, T hereby assume command of the i South Carolina division, U. 0. V. j II. The South Carolina division, IT. C. V., will meet in Greenville, S. C., at their annual reunion on the (5th, 7th and Sth of August, 1902. The convention will be railed to order at 1J a. m., at the i hall designated by the Greenville committee. All members are oar- j nestjy requested to attend this meeting, us year by year our numbers are growing less. III. Commanders of all camps composing this division will call ? 1 i i I ' ?t. iiicm logemor Ml once Mild elect delegates t<j tiltoud said reunion. IV. The commanding general regrets to call attention to a large number of camps who arc in ar- ! rears as to dues, both to the gen- ; eral headquarters at New Oilcans. ( and also to the division hendquar- ! ters. These dues are small and should be paid at once. No camp will he allowed a vote who is in j arrears to either the genera! head quarters or division during the convention. V. Col. J. M. Jordan of Camp 1 Pulliatn, Greenville, >S. C., who 1 will act as chief of stair during! the reunion at Greenville, is the one to whom all dues may be re- ' initted. VI. It is with pleasure that 1 ; announce to the veterans that our comrade, Col. Robert Aldrieh, of Barnwell, S. C., will deliver the annual address and that Miss ; Lumpkin, of Columbia, S. C., will i welcome the veterans in Irohalf of j the United Daughters of the Con- , federal-v. " VII. All railroads have given the low rate of one cent a mile for oacli way traveled. ? Oil in Oconee County. The people of Oconee are great- ! ly excited over the discovery of j oil in the southwestern part of the i county on the farm of Mr. .J. li. I McJ utikin, says the Columbia Uec- j ord. The discovery was made in a rather peculiar manner. A tree growing near the house was struck j by lightning nearly every time a i thunder storm visited the region. Three weeks ago L)r. Bolatid, a skilled mineralogist, representing an extensive oil company in Philadelphia, happened to stop at Mr. ; McJunkin's home, and his atten lion was ai once drawn 10 mis tree. i After an inspection of tlie sur mundings, the doctor told Mr. Me- ! Junkin that nppenranccs indicated petroleum in abundance and insisted upon immediate examination, which was reluctantly granted. The mineralogist bought tintree, had it dug up and paid.for its delivery at the railroad, consigning it to his company in Phil adelphia, and at once had n pit eight feet deep dug in search of what he termed the petroleum blossom, which ho found corroborated his first impressions. What will be the outcome, or how it may culminate, is left to conject lire, hut Dr. Poland evidently is in earnest and declares that appearances indicate a uaiiy output of more than three hundred barrels of refined oil. Thirty.two young men have join- j ed n drum corjs recently organized in Columbia, [ Senator Tillman in Charlotte, Senator Tillman stopped over in Charlotte a few nights ugo. The next day The Observer spoke of him as follows: The senator appears to 1 )c in lip top physical condition and is us, jolly as a sun lb >y. As he stood in the waiting room at the Southern station he was approached by half a dozen South Carolinians from different parts of the State, and he j greeted each one as "dim" or "Bill" or "Tom'' and was ready with intimately personal jests which provoked good humor and loud laughter. It' Senator Tillman covets notoriety lie must have unlimited opportunity for happiness. Five miii- j utes after ho stepped to the middle of the waiting room last night In1 was the object of general attention. A dozen curious per- I sons came within a few feet of him ' and watched liim with unlowercd eyes, while a large proportion of the jostling crowd that waited outside the depot came to the windows and peered at the senator. Senator Tillman minded not; was easy and natural in his man tier. Nine men out. of ten who become surrounded by listening strangers drop their voices to a low key. Not so with Senator Tillman. One imagines that he n? ver whispered in his life. His voice is strident and his frnpient laugh has the strong challenge of the hustings. Also he swears in a careless, indifferent maimer as a senator should swear. This art is given to few ntoti. One knows i somehow that Senator Tillman would curse naturally iit his sleep. Tigers Flourishing in Rock Hi!!. The Herald. The number of drunk men in town Saturday night was uncommonly large. The blind tigers are tloursihing, debauching everybody with whom they como in contact. ' f l' i i * < i no contmio'j in such rh tlio poo- j plo seom t?> like ami thus it will j continue. No institution in town I seems to bo bo popular n? tin* blind ; t i^er, and at the samo time it is! debauching more younn nion than ever the barrooms did. There is 110 farce like unto that of our "pro- i hibitioti'" law. The Irrepressible Cansler. Says the IJ aufortcorrespondent ?<f the News and Courier: "'If Can- j sler, of Tirzah [ candidate for rail road coinmissioner ], could only show that he had been crippled by I a raiitimd accident and had taken the same medicine ad nnuseuni that some of the railroads had given other people, he would deserve and obtain a very Mattering and sympathetie vole, hut ho far as lie is concerned the audience, while highly entertained hy his antics, did not think lie could get around fast enough to circumvent a railroad or its directors." ? Mother of Sixty-Two Children. It has remained for the Italian woman to break ail maternity rer- j onls. Madeline Graiintta, in the j course of nineteen yearsof wedlock I became the in >ther of sixty-two children. This extraordinary state- j ineiit is vouched for hy two or three thousand witnesses, who testify to its truth in a petition now before tho Italian government, i Asking for the woman a yearly pension of 1,800 lire ($8150.) <)! Madeline's children fifty nine are j hoys and three girls. Eleven times in succession in nine years she gave birth to triplets, three times four boys arrived at one birth and once five 1) >ys and a girl. The other twelve were born singly, but very close together.

Her | prostration was great, and nothing seemed to renelj her case. One of her | neighbors insisted on her trying my j Remedy and Wash. This she would not do until she had consulted her doctor. Ilis reply was, "When Mrs. Person takes hold, wo turn loose; when she ' turns loose, wo take hold." However, she concluded to try it. Without letting anyone into the secret, she used my Wash copiously. A great improvement soon set in, and by its use she was soon well.
