The Hodges family are said to have been the victims of a negro organization called the "before-day society," Vl having as its object the killing and robbing of white people. The militia on duty at p: the court house had no loads in their guns, and their resistance seems to have been on that account feeble. ?

Folk, Bamberg, tlie first si bale of South Carolina cotton for 1904. ri The cotton arrived at the store about two o o'clock and was viewed by a great many b interested merchants and others. s* It was properly examined, sampled and o graded as "fully middling," but on ac- h count of Saturday being a half holiday ti * i i 1 J the cotton naa arnvea too iaie to oesoia, u the cotton market having closed. The bale weighs 445 pounds and after being It sampled and graded was sent to the com- ti press. The cotton comes a full week ahead w of last year and eleven days earlier than ti the first bale of 1902. The first bale of last n season was received August 21, consigned f< to F. W. "Wagoner & Co., from H. C. Folk o at Bamberg. It weighed 351 pounds. It o classed as Liverpool middling and was n bought by the Goldsmith Mercantile Com- t pany at 15c a pound.

It was classed t as good middling and was sold to -the e Goldsmith Mercantile Company for 10c a t pound/ It was also consigned to F.* W. Wagener & Co.?Charleston Sunday t News. i s A Foolish Practice. a Within the past few weeks there has \ developed a practice which has reached j the point where it may be termed a nuis- r ance. The reference is made to the firing c of pistols at any and almost every hour a of the night. Some time a shot is heard a on one street and in a short while another a neighborhood is treated to the same kind t of alarm. This being the usual method of c alarm for fire, how is anyone to know s when there is anything wrong, when this t kind of thing is carried on? Not only r that, the part of town in which the firing a of the pistol takes place is needlessly awakened. But higher than that, it is a u direct breaking of both State and city laws. Is it possible that it cannot be stopped? Certainly not, and if the law is ^ enforced as it should be, this foolish practice will be stopped and without delay. X Bamberg, S. C., August 15,1904. J Denmark Social News. r In spite of bad weather, both from sun 0 and clouds, in spite of the flagging social spirit which At.gust usually finds, and in sspite of the daily exodus of the gay so- ^ cial members for the summer resorts and ^ livlier environments, the second week of August has proved one of extraordinary social activity. The club was again the scene of festivity Friday evening when Messrs Wade H. * Faust and William D. Rice entertained with one of the most enjoyable and lovely "at homes" which has been given in several weeks. ^ The beautiful home of Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Wyman was effectively decorated in palms and smilax with Japanese lanterns v and many colored lights which shed a ^ becoming glow upon the throng of lovely young folks who were guests of the occasion.

HOOPSKIRTS CHOKED THE RIVER. housands of Them Were Thrown Into Stream [ at Kalamazoo. The Kalamazoo council has under conderation the dredging of Kalamazoo iver from the city of Cooper, a distance f several miles, for the deepening of the ed in some places and the removal of indbars in others. The estimated cost f a thorough job is $30,000, and for alf the money, it is believed, the situaon can be materially improved and the amage by floods greatly lessened. If the dredging is undertaken, particuir attention should be paid to that por ion of the river within the corporation, J rhich has never recovered, even with j ime's help, from the choking of the chan- i el received during the hoopskirt era of t srty years ago, when every cast-ofE crin- j line found its way to as near the middle < f the stream as a wounded and outraged ] aale member of the household could I hrow it.
