John Green, a young negro man, was arresteed by Policeman Broom Monday for larceny committed in Branchville Saturday night and yesterday afternoon Deputy Byrd of Orangeburg carried the negro to Orangeburg, where he was placed in jail. The police department received information from Sheriff Dukes of Orangeburg that the store of Mrs. Byrd has been broken into Saturday night at Branchville and a large amount of merchandise taken. They advised the local authorities to look out for a negro. Accordingly Officer Broom went to work on the case and landed his man. After the negro saw there was no use denying the theft he admitted breaking into the store at Branchville and carrying off a big amount of stuff, and at the same time implicated another negro, The police have succeeded in locating some of the property said to be stolen, consisting of several pairs of shoes, a coat and vest, bars of soap, lead pencils, pocket knives, bottles of cologne and other articles of merchandise of the kind carried by a *? - * n ?:J?i.i? country store. ureen eviuenuy meant business when he entered the store and from the property so far recovered made a good haul.?Columbia State.

[ Dr James Woodrow died at his home in Columbia last Thursday. He was born in the town of Carlisle, England in 1828. When seven years old he came with his family to Canada. He was educated in Ohio and came to the South before 1860. In 1861 he was elected a professor in the theological seminary at Columbia. He was president of the South Carolina college for many years. He had a clear, logical mind and was a ready writer. He engaged in various business enterprises with considerable success. .* The National House of Representatives has passed an act increasing the salaries of senators and representatives from $5,000 to $7,500 per annum. This 50 per cent, increase will take the place of the railroad passes that the rate-bill has deprived them of. Before this becomes a law, however, the act should be so amended as to provide for the forfeiture of salaries of senators and representatives during their absence, unless the absence is from providential causes. - ? ' If salaries of aosentees were withheld, there would never be any lack for a quorum.?Edgefield Advertiser. The American Farm. It is estimated that the crops in the United States this year will supply the $70,000,000 worth each month of the year for export. Cotton will lead off, with about $400,000,000 for the year to its credit. It is the surplus product of the farms of the United States that brings to this country every year more than onehalf of the world's supply of gold. A part of this we send back in payment for manufactured articles bought in other parts of the world, for tea, coffee and J sugar, and another part is taken .across the seas by American tourists and foolish American girls, who persist in marrying the beggarly foreigners, but enough is left here annually to make us the most prosperous people in the world. The American farm is the source of American wealth, and in not our Alaska gold, and our Colorado silver mines, nor our manufacturing industries, great as tbey are. * v - - ; ? -;W /. 7 ?
