We got this land real cheap through the agent and it's all paid for a and enough over to bring me out and ^ get some sort of shelter and a start in cattle.

I hope ^ it won't be long, Fm so anxious about g Tom." There was a thrill of apprehension in her voice. "He coughs bad at l Mtvxm orwl c/rmtk r>?rt hnrrilv aret to his work. Annie, his wife, goes in his 1 place part of the time and makes him P rest off and stay with the children. I s must get them here as soon as pousible." " "Yes, he needs to come," Lee said, re- . garding her with a sort of amazement "And look here," Bainbridge put in, "we'll put up your shanty and do your breaking, and it shan't cost you anything. We always do that for our new a neighbors, and I guess we can rustle 0 up some calves for you, and you return fi them when you're all here and your a herd grows." 2 The tears rushed to her eyes, and she ^ exclaimed: "Oh, what big hearts you have out here in this big country! I'll c be the best: neighbor you ever had. <; There's lots I can do for you if you are i alone." e "Yes, ma'am; I reckon there is," be c said awkwardly, a wistful pity min-' 1' gling with the embarrassment in his 0 face. s He 8trolled away presently, and l^ee followed In obedience to a sly sign, e nd she relapsed. Into dreamy contemplation, her heart warm with the kindness of these new neighbors. "Look here," Bainbridge said savagely when they were out of sight, "If jtw let it out Til kill your T "That's right," Lee assured him. "Whafs a beggarly quarter section anyway? ra cat em uu wi uiw.u and welcome.'* ] "Bat ifa already cat off of mine," J Bainbridge bristled Jealously. "That rascally blackguard! This is only one of the many pitiful cases of his thieving. But they've dropped right on to their feet! I'll fix it so they'll never j know." Lee gravely shook his hand, then burst oat: ".Bat Lordy, Lordy, the innocence of it! Cattle raising on a quarter section, and all the rest of It? them's the kind that fatten the rascals. But she's good! I've got a good woman. I know one when I see her." "Yes, she's good," Bainbridge assert- ed absently. "Makes you feel like San- 1 day morning, and all the bells ringing." "Ho, ho! I must tell Ellen that She says you're a born poet and only need a good woman to bring it out" "Beckon I've found her," Bainbridge grinned sheepishly, turning away. The moon was amusing a uueuuw daylight when he returned from a long walk in communion with himself. He found her still on the porch and sat <gown in awkward silence. Then he began abruptly: "Don't be frightened, Miss Burton, at what Tm going to say. My head's level; anybody round here 11 tell you that I always know what I want and we do things quick out here. Once when I was young I was going to be married, but she died." He paused an instant "Since that" I never found any one I wanted till right now, and?and?I'm waiting to be married any minute you say so. If its too quick I'll keep on waiting, but I'm not going to let anybody else have you." "Mercy!" she gasped in helpless surprise, but with appreciation of his sturdy manhood gleaming in her eyes. "I mean anybody out here," be amended. "Of course if there's one back there I'm out!" She shook her head, her face one vivid flame. "Well, then, I think yon can trist me." He leaned toward her coaxingly, his strong hand swallowing hers. "Tom and Annie and the kids '11 be our next door neighbors, and if you get tired of me you can go back to them." His eyes twinkled. She was still silent, and he went on: "We've been together several days and have a pretty good notion of each other ?and I'll feel like the bottom tad dropped out of everything if it isn':: a go." "I?I guess it's a 'go,'" she stammered. "Glory!" be exclaimed, taking possession of h^. "And see here?rm going to telegraph money to fetch my brother-in-law out immediately! Give me a kiss, little woman." oil Wet Md DryWet soil assumes a darker color than dry because its particles thus become semitransparent, as Is the case also with a piece of wetted tissue paper or ground glass. j This change of color is due to the fcict that the interstices between the grains of soil are filled with water, so that the number of reflecting surfaces, which In a dry condition scatter and break up the light, are greatly reduced In number. It follows that the total amount of light reflected to the eye is correspondingly diminished. In short, as the color shade of an object depends upon the proportion of light that is reflected for all the iijtbt that falls upon it, dry soil is lighter in shade than wet, which reflects fcsss light That portion of incident liijht which wet soil falls to reflect penetrates below the surface, where it is lost or absorbed.

I aspire to the < vacancy caused by his death, and solicit your support for the position so worthily filled by Aiken's distinguished son. I am a Democrat, acknowledging full allegiance to the Den o:ratic party, State and Nation- ? al.

I have worked and legislated against them and _ -a am unalterably opposed to them and will ^1 work not only to throttle them but to en- < tirely destroy them, and thus through National legislation give that relief which could not be secured by State legislation. 3* I favor industrial development, of the ." ? individual, the county, the State, and of this Republic. I favor National aid for * - '$? roads, agricultural colleges and for textile ? schools to be erected ana maintained by State and National aid in connection with . ? cotton manufacturing, that all our people V may be educated and trained to manufacture the finest of fabrics which sell - ^ for the highest prices, thereby giving the greatest profit to the manufacturer and ^ the highest possible wages to the laborer. I favor maintaining a strong Navy for ;f the protection of our country and the in-' . terests of our citizens under our treaty : laws. I believe that the South is especially . interested in the awakening and development of the Orient, for to them we mart look for increased use of cotton goods. It is the field into which the cotton grown :; by our farmers and manufactured by pur wage earners must in a large part find a market. Therefore, I advocate trade rights and open ports in China and the Far East. d i i was elected senator rrom sarnweu county in 1893 and served nntil Bamberg ! county was created in 1897 from Barnwell territory.

G. MAYFIELD. 1 To my fellow-citizens of the second congressional district: I have read with ^ pride and gratitude, most profound, the numerously signed petitions asking me to 1 become a candidate for congress to fill . J the vacancy caused by the death of my revered father, Hon. George W. Croft^^y from the second oongressional district of South Carolina. No stronger token of ? honor, esteem and reverence for the memory of your departed representative ^ can be given. While reluctant to do so, yet having faith in those'who signed the petitions and the citizens of the district at large, a majority of whom were bis friends, I have decided to make the race and hereby announce myself a candidate for congress from the second congress- . ional district, to fill the unexpired term only, subject to the result of the primary election. And I hereby pledge myself to abide by and support the nominee in such election and to support the platform and - principles of the Democratic party. T. G. CROFT. I hereby announce myself as a candidate for congress from the second district | of South Carolina, to fill the unexpired term of the late Geo. W.

Croft, congress- 1 M man from the second South Carolina district. This sad loss of an able public servant creates a vacancy in a position y; for which it has been my announced intention to be a candidate in the regular ^ primary this summer, and so makes it necessary for me to seek your suffrages earlier than would otherwise have been the case, for the unexpired term. I am a candidate for the high honor of representing the second South Carolina district in congress, and ask ypur support. .* ?%? I am a Democrat, and give full allegiance to Democratic principles. Above all, I am a white supremacy Democrat, and believe absolutely in the rule of this ' S country by the white men, a rule so shaped as to bring the greatest good to th6 greatest number. X go to the very \ fullest length in opposition to anything that savors of race political or social equ ility. These are beliefs which I hold should be advocated at Washington, as well as entertained at home. I am eternally against trusts and the ' monopolies they build and foster, and pledge my most earnest efforts, if elected, to work fo* relief of the people therefrom. South Carolina is now well represented in the national house of renresentatives by professional men. I would not appeal to class prejudice, bat I do ask, ought not the farmers of South Carolina, wno are a majority of the State's white rotors, to have at least one simon-pure -farmer representative in congress?
