Jennings, who had the contract for boring
the artesian well at the Fitting iScbool,
struck a flow. For a day or so the flow
was only about fifteen gallons, but it increased,

done. No one was hurt, which was very
fortunate.

Supervisor E. C. Bruce brought us last
Saturday a stalk of corn which had on it
seven ears; also a bunch of very tine rice.
The com was raised by Mr. E. F. Kinard
and the rice by Mr. A. W. Brabham,both
of whom are good farmers. The corn is
a new variety, called Cuban corn, and
while the ears are not so large as our corn,
the cob is very small. It is said this corn
will average four ears to the stalk on
medium land. Mr. Bruce says Mr. Brabham
has two acres of rice which is as tiue
as he ever saw.

Bkanciivm.lk, August 25.?A clever,
gentlemanly set of handsome young men
came down last Wednesday afternoon for
the purpose of trying Branchville's
strength again on the diamond. The
game was interesting throughout, owing
to the fact that both batteries played excellent
ball in spite of the many errors
made by both teams. Branchvilie, as usual.
lost the game in the beginning by bad
playing, which always tends to discourage
our players. Bamberg can justly
say venimus vidimus vicimus by a score
of* 14 to 3. Now that the base-ball season
is about over, it would not be amiss to
give a few observant impartial criticisms.
Our boys could not hope to win from Bamberg
for several reasons, viz: lack of
practice on the diamond, slowness of
movement, and poor batting. This does
not refer to all of our men, for we can
boast of having at least live splendid
players. It is generally conceded that
Branchville's battery is better than any
she has played this season. If the opposing
teams have made more base hits it
was not the fault of our pitcher, but ratkee
the failure of several of the basemen
and lielders to play together. If the opposing
pitchers have struck out more
men it was because the majority of them
are very poor batters. The Bamberg boys
are active, always on the alert and ready
to assist their players, which makes the
~ ' il ? nPK ? P !?? rro mnc I
game scieuuiic. iui; mvguinea
are a mere bagatelle compared to the
friendly spirit engendered between the
neigboring towns.
The county chain gang was brought
down to this section last week, and is
now actively engaged in overhauling the
canal which drains the town.
Branchville will 110 doubt strain all
her efforts to entertain her guests who
will come to the ball.
Two undesirable white transient residents
who were rather addicted to the
bottle habit, were made to seek cooler
houses last week. If the councilmeu
would take the timely advice of Foreman
Ilnrley, of the county chain gang, we
would be spared the nuisance and danger
of having so many white and black vagrants,
who are a menace to any peaceful
community. He would have all vagrants
found ou:. of employment organized into
a gang and made to work on public highways.
He says this system is meeting
with remarkable results in St. Matthews,
which town boasts of having such splendid
streets.
Mr. Walter Dukes, an industrious and
energetic farmer living about two miles
from town, feels proud of the splendid
success he has made this season planting
tobacco. Ou the three acres planted he
will make clear, after all expenses have
been deducted, seventy dollars an acre,
besides he will make about four thousand
pounds of peaviues and hay on the same
three acres. Mr. Dukes averaged this
amount after having the misfortune to
lose one barn containing about one thousand
pounds of tobacco, bjT fire. He has
been able this year to build a handsome
borne hi town into which he will soon
move and will then be prepared to explain
:o his fellow farmers what energy and
;hriftcan accomplish. He feels indebted to
Editor Sims, of the Times and Democrat,
Orangeburg, who advised him to plant
again after having become discouraged in
.lis first attempt.
Fred. McLaughlin, a sailor boy on the
United States cruiser, Hartford, now sta;ioued

n various South Atlantic ports, and is
gratified at the immense strides his old
;own is making. He will soon be trans'erred

THE "SANKERO."
Unhappy Lot of a Peculiar Fiprnre of
the Irrigation Country.
An eastern farmer coining to an irrigated
valley finds everything as different
from liis accustomed life as lie
can well imagine. He must learn an
entirely new language of farming and
a new set of farming rules. His neighbor
greets him, not with the remark,
"It looks like rain," but "Have you
heard when the water Is coming In?"
or "The ditches are low today." lie
learns to speak of miners' inches and
acre feet of water, and he can soon
tell at a glance whether a ditch is carrying
50 or 100 miners' inches of water.
He hears wise discussions of
headgates, weirs, Literals and zanjes.
He finds that he is "under" a certain
canal, which by and by will come to
seem to him like an inexorable fate.
He will very promptly make the acquaintance
of the king of the irrigated
land, the zanjero, in Arizona called
"sankero," in California sometimes
shortened to "sanky," the water master
or ditch rider, a bronzed man in over
alls and sombrero, who drives auout 111
a two wheeled cart, with a shovel and
a long crooked tined fork by his side
and precious keys in his pockets. lie
Is the yea and nay of the arid land, the
arbiter of fate, the dispenser of good
and evil, to be blessed by turns and
cursed by turns and to receive both
with the utter unconcern of a small
god, for it is the zanjero who distributes
the water. He opens the headgate
of each farmer's canal, and when
the water has run the necessary time
he shuts it down again and again locks
it securely. If the water is short, he
sees that it is divided properly between
Smith and Jones and Brown, usually
with Smith and Jones and Brown
watching him like cats. It is a hard
place, that of zanjero in the valleys,
subject to accusations, temptations,
heartburnings; but, be it said to the |
credit of the American, there is many
a zanjero who is universally respected I
in his community as an honest man.?

MEN AND BOOKS.
Chopin rarely read anything heavier
than a French novel.
Lord Clive said that "Robinson Crusoe"
beat any book he ever read.
St. John Chrysostom never tired of
reading or of praising the works of the
apostle John.
James I. of England was a lover of
the classics and very familiar with
most of the Latin writers.
Bunyan read little besides his Bible
and often said that Christians would
do well to read no other book.
Salvator Rosa liked any kind of poetry,
but more especially that relating to
the country or to country scenes.
Hume said that Tacitus was the
ablest writer tbat ever lived and himself
tried to model his style on that of
the Roman historian. *
Locke gave most of his attention to
works of philosophy. He said, "I stand
amazed at the profundity of thought
shown by Aristotle."
The elder Pitt liked Shakespeare, but
not the labor of reading plays. He enJoyed
hearing them and once said that
he had learned more English history
at the theater than at the university.?
Literary Life.
Philosophy of Fatigue.
"Some may be interested to know
that there is now almost a new kind
of philosophy of fatigue," says a writer
in AJnslee's. "Some speculators think
man became conscious because his Intuitions
were slowed up by exhaustion,
so that the mind has to pick its way
slowly and logically instead of divining
instantly, as it used to do. It was the
fall of man. Wilder dreamers have
even described the origin of cosmic gas
and nebulee, from which all the worlds
come, as due to progressive fatigue of
the ether, which is far more subtle and
back of it. It is a little as if they were
attempting to rewrite the first phrases
of the Old Testament so thai: it should
read, 'In the beginning was fatigue.'"

"While on a trip through the south
soon after the civil war," said a Chicago
man, "I stopped overnight at the
little town of Warrenton, N. C. The
next morning, strolling arouud looking
the place over, I met a countryman
who .greeted me with a 'Howdy?' and
'passed the time of day' most cordially.
I was considerably taken aback when
I noticed that he was barefooted, and 1
ventured to ask him if It was the custom
of the country for the men to go
without shoes. He answered, with a
drawl, 'Waal, some on us does, but
most on us 'tends to our own business.'

New York died recently. He was
born without arms, but so adroitly did he
use his toes that he could handle a knife
and fork, write a good nana, pick up anything
on the lloor and play the violin. At
school he used his toes as other children
used their hands.
Jefferson had been grinding for three
days to turn out a suitable Declaration
of Independence, but seemed unable to
state the case strongly enough.
"Eureka 1" he cried. "A happy thought!
I shall centre my mind on the cook!"
Following this plan, he dashed ofr the
little remarks he had intended making
when he discharged Bridget, and the
result was the immortal document venerated
by all true Americans.

AWeak
Stomach
Indigestion is often caused by overeating.
An eminent authority says
the harm done thus exceeds that from
the excessive use of alcohol. Eat all
the good food you want but don't overload
the stomach. A weak stomach
may refuse to digest what you eat.
Then you need a good digestant like
Kodol, which digests your food without
the stomach's aid. This rest and
the wholesome tonics Kodol contains
soon restore health. Dieting unnecessary.
Kodol quickly relieves the feeling
of fulness and bloating from
which some people suffer after meals.
Absolutely cures indigestion.
