TROOPER SLIGHTLY IN ERROR Thought and Asserted Himself to Be Better Than His Officer, but He Was Not. Major General Sir Frederick CarTington, who died the other day, was in his earlier years one of the best boxers in the British army. IIis principal services to the empire were rendered in South Africa, and it is told that among the Bechuanaland police he was known as "Fighting Fred," because he had brought that famous force up to its high state of efficiency by thrashing every man in it. In this connection the 6tory is also told that during the Zulu war Carrington having been placed in charge of an irregular regiment, noticed that one of the troopers, who probably imagined that he had only u "haw, haw" officer to deal with, deliberately failed to salute him. "Why don't you salute me?" remanded the general. "Because I'm a better man than you are," was the insolent reply. "Indeed," said the general, "we'll soon see about that," and live minutes later the "belter man" was carried senseless into his tent. And next morning the general had the offender up before him and gave him three days' C. B. for "fighting in camp," a sentence, however, which he promptly remitted. SAD DISCOVERY ^ "IIow docs Brown like the high position he was recently promoted to ?" "Not very well." "But 1 thought it was paying him $10,000 a year?" "So it is. But he's discovered that his employers expect him to earn it." NEW FRIENDSHIP RENOVATES. The new friendship renovates us much because it is likely to bring the newest of our lives to the front?perhaps the newness that we have not otherwise dared to show?as to bring us new ideas. Our aims, our loves, ourselves will alter whether or no. There aire many forced renewings. "We renew ourselve by delightful associations and by growing up with our children. But it is within the power of our will to renew ourselves almost daily in those "intangible and shy matters" of our inner life which make our outer lives sanest, sweetest, best.? Exchange.

A loss of 300,000.000, bushels i of corn, the nation's greatest farm crop, has resulted from j the great damage wrought by drought and other conditions since July 1, it-is estimated by the government's agricultural experts in their August crop report. A total production of : 2,072,000,000 bushels of corn was predicted. This is 452,000,000 bushels less than last year's crop. The general condition of corn was placed at 75.6 per cent of a normal compared with 86.9 per cent on July 1. Kansas was hit hardest, the condition there having been reduced from 81 per cent in July to 30 per cent on A 1 Ol-lnU/^mn r>/wf august x. uaiaiiuiua laiuv iiv.ai with a condition of 44 againt 87 in July, and Nebraska reported G7, against 91 July 1. These three States have almost 19 per cent of the total area planted in corn this year. Rock Hill Talks of Dispensary. Immediately following the raid on the so-called social clubs in the city and the resultant suits before a magistrate, says the Rock Hill Herald, there began the quiet talk among a certain class to get up a petition for an election to again have a dispensary in Rock Hill. Though it is true that this small beginning was due to an irresponsible few fellows who have but lit tie regard for aught but their own selfish desires and pleasures, the "talk" has grown to such an extent as to warrant consideration on the part of the r?itiypns who most -assuredlv would not care to have a dispensary here. Inquiry in an unobstrusive manner made by The Herald representative indicates that there are many persons inclined to tacitly support such a movement for several reasons. One of these is that the city would get a considerable amount of revenue which is now going out of town. Another that it would solve the social club problem as it relates to some methods of conducting such a club. Yet another is that intoxicants will I be used here more or less, then ' why not have the traffic under recognized control. And there are a few other reasons, largely ones of a personal character. Worms Injure Greenville Cotton. From Dunkin township, Greenville county, is sent out alarming reports of the invasion in that section of a small worm that is devouring cotton bolls. Large fields of cotton, it is said, are infested with the worm, and the farmers are greatly worried. mi a ? f a. 1 iney cannot account ior tne appearance of the worms, and say they are the first of the kind ever seen in that section. The 1 worms are rapidly spreading I over the lower section of Greenville county, and it is feared that unless something: is quickly done to stop the ravages of the pest, the crop will be seriously damaged. : ' t At" ave 5,000 f NG to sell 3 per IOC Lumber ( / >cal Telephone No. STATEMENT Of the condition of the Saving* Bunk of Fort Mill, located at Fort Mill, S.
