Ehrhardt, August 31.?Last week was a bad week for the farmers in this section. Cold and rainy; could not gather their cotton.

Folk is spending a day or so with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Ehrhardt. For magistrate in this section Mr. L. A. Brabham, of the Olar section, and Mr. Jacob C. Hiers, Jr., of this section, will have to try their strength Tuesday?one week from I to-morrow. Both men are good ones, and it will be hard to decide who to vote for. Rev. P. K. Rhoad preached in the Methodist church here Sunday morning. While there was a good lot of our town people that heard him, more would have gone had it been known. Mrs. Haigler, of Cameron, returned to her home Sunday. There was a courting couple that passed through town Sunday.

For uncontested State offices there were two counties missing, but the total vote as otherwise tabulated was: For lieutenant governor, McLeod, 98,761; for state treasurer, Jennings, 100,153; for attorney general, Lyon, 98,651; for secretary of State, McCown, 98,361. The two counties which did not report on uncontested offices were Lancaster and Chesterfield. Attorney general Lyon was scratched in several counties, notably at Fort Mill in York county and at Beaufort. There was a close vote for governor in Pickens, but the official vote shows that Ansel carried this by 12 votes. The Blease counties, therefore, are reduced to Charleston, Newberry, Laurens, Saluda. In Saluda his majority was large, as it was in Charleston. For Congress. First district: Geo. S. Legare 10,780. Second district: J. O. Patterson 10,749; W. S. Smith, 2,833.

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23.?Train No. 38 on the Southern railway, known as the Southwestern limited train, which left Atlanta shortly after noon to-day, was wrecked four miles j north of Suwanee, Ga., about 3 o'clock this afternoon. The colored fireman, Mason Watkins, was killed instantly and the engineer, B. F. Dewberry of Atlanta, both being pinned underneath the engine after it left the track and turned over. Dewberry died later. The mail car, baggage can and combination car also left the track and turned over, rolling down a 15-foot embankment. The mail clerks escaped wih minor bruises. None of the passengers were injured. Just previous to the train's coming three small boys were seen running away from the scene. An investigation after the wreck developed the fact that a bolt had been placed on the track and the flight of the boys leads to the belief that, in a spirit of mischief, they may have placed the bolt in such a position as to cause the train to jump the track, rhe sheriff and railroad officers are now at work on the case. LEPER HELD PRISONER. John B. Early, of Lynch, N. C., Afflicted With Dread Disease. Washington, Aug. 23.?John R. Early, a leper, is held prisoner in a tent at an isolated spot in the outskirts of this city. Early arrived in Washington ten days ago and was discovered to be suffering from the disease while living at a Salvation Army lodging house on Friday. The health department officers have -written to the authorities of North Carolina to obtain permission to remove the leper to Lynn, N. C., his home. The public health and marine hospitable services are cooperating "with the local authorities. If the North Carolina authorities refuse to take care of Early he probably will be sent to the leper colony in Louisiana. Early has a wife and child, a mother, two sisters and a brother living in L.ynn, in. vj., wneace ue uauic iu Washington to attend to his pension. He served in the army for nearly nine years and is supposed to have contracted the fatal disease in the Philippines. Early is 35 years old and the health officers say he has had the disease for over a year. In that time he has been employed in various stores and mills and was actively engaged in Salvation Army work in numerous cities in New York State. Among the places in which he has lived since he was discharged from the army at Plattsburg, N. Y., in November, 1906, are Winchester, a suburb of Boston, Mass.; Troy, Granville and Oswego, N. Y. At the last two places the symptoms of leprosy first became pronounced. From Oswego he went to Canton, N. C., in May of this year and was employed in a pulp mill employing 800 hands. Later he went to Lynn, whence" he came to Washington. Crops Almost Ruined. Charlotte, N. C., Aug. 26?Indications point to excessive damage to the cotton crop by the unprecedented rainfall, which has continued without cessation since Sunday, and it is probable that lowland corn is entirely ruined. One grower estimates the damage to cotton at 20 per cent, to-night, though stating that is impossible at this time to form anything like a correct estimate. Most of the cotton has turned yellow, which means that if the hot sunshine succeeds the rainy spell soon cotton will burn up on the stalk. Another menace is rot, which will ensue certainly if the rains continue longer. Train service in the south is cut off, nearly all trestles having been washed away and the few that have withstood the raging j waters are being held down by loaded freight trains. Water in the Catawba river Las reached the 26-foot level and the power house and mills along its banks have suffered heavy damage. Antidote for Skin Diseases. That's what Tetterine is; and it is more. It is an absolute cure for eczema, tetter, ringworm, erysipelas, and all other itching cutaneous diseases. In aggravated cases of these afflictions its cures have been phenomenal. It gives instant relief and effects permanent cures. 50c. at druggists or by mail from J. T. Shuptrine, Dept. A.
