Tr &J-. ???? Excessive Drinking is Said to Have & Caused Suicide. pr Hampton, Sept. 1.?J. Ebbie Bel- th ger committed suicide here last night hz at 11 o'clock in his home 011 ixe ge avenue, using a 32 calibre pistol, qi The supposed cause of his rash act ni was that he had been drinking for by the last few days and became Jes- as pondent. When he went up to his th ?room last night he told his wife and ot little boy that he intended taking fa his life and then fired a bullet ha through his brain. pe He had been constable for Magis- tw trate Murdaugh for the past year and to h. a half, while his wife ran a board- sti ing house and millinery establish- dr ment. He leaves a wife and five pi: children. he Farming in the Xorth and South, th Kvc an \ Home and Farm makes a striking pr comparison of the northern and th southern farmer. It has this to say: bu pv' "The climate of the south is of th great advantage to the farmer. The jt climate of the north costs the farmer wj a great deal of money, not only in mi the form of fuel but in lessening the pj. days that he can work out of doors. p0 "And yet the farmer in the north pr | per man makes more every year than a the farmer in the south. # ab jQ "This is a fact that every south- cr( ern farmer should take home to himV self. He should ask himself why it an is that he cannot make as much gr | money as his brother in the north. "One reason is that he does not farm as closely. He does not pay as |fc much attention to the little things, ' to the little expenses and to the little js Kpy, items of income. w( "Another reason is he does not di- na versify his farming. The wheat far- Timer of the north raises much more fa: r generally than the cotton farmer of 0f conth?hoas and chickens, cows su fand sheep. In other words, he di- on versifies his farming more. He does us not rely upon one crop which ex- en hausts his land and his patience. jn1 He can afford to have a partial fail- th ure of his main crop and yet come j.n Kgpf out all right. Sp P?-; ' "Another reason is the northern co Ep^- farmer uses more tools. He is ^ pf v quicker to buy new tools. He right- th< K1 \ ly estimates the value of his own te; Kj* labor and the labor of his son and ? ?; the labor of his hired man. and so to Bp// save this labor?that is, to make it more effective?he gets more farm implements and better farm imple- wc F/ ments. It is said that in New York he p and Pennsylvania, for instance, the ^a average value of farm implements jnj r per farm worker is $150, whereas in no Virginia, North Carolina. Alabama, a ?? '.: Louisiana and Mississippi it is less wt han $20. i H-- "We mention these figures in or-|a der merely to enforce all that we | wc |?v , have been saying recently about the 1 value to the farmer of improved farm wl g? implements. Get the b$st you can af- th< ford. Study the differemt kinds of fin rv'y implements, write for catalogues, get 'T; prices, compare your neighbors' im- on plements and get the very thing that all g.' you need on your farm, then you will ga W- find that farming is not a hardship, ga ??$;.. hut a pleasure." m? f"7 " Temnerate Sweden.

The best known gambler in the >rld is dying in New York. When was dicussed gambling words th ve had the ring of authority, uur- ? I his life he has been liberal and CI w he is practically penniless. To friend who last week asked him ^ iat advice he would give to a boy . 10 came to him for counsel as to w career in life he replied: "There P6 >uldn't be any use giving it, but would. I'd say, 'I can't tell you J* iat to do. for no two people in *e 3 world are alike. You'll have to d your work.' But I'd say to him, ake any road but the "crooked e." ' I've been a gambler. So are men. Most business is a form of mbling. Think of Wall street. But fo mbling's no profession for any th in. It is not even a profitable th e, for it's the only one of which u can say, 'The higher you go to e lower you go. The more you W( cceed the more you fail. The clev- se 3r a man is, the more brilliant he \v comes, the harder it is for a man to get on as a gambler. They get it aid of him." It's a pity that at ery young man in our country al uld not have these words impress- m upon him. Gambling is one of vc 3 greatest cures of the day, wheth- cr it be at the race track, in Wall w! eet, at the card table or at a so urch fair. The winner gets what fo does not earn and what the loser w nnot afford to lose. Men are ar npted to dishonesty by the ap- cl rent chances that they have at ci mbling.

C., Aug. 31.?Beaurt has a white chief of police for e first time since the war between e sections, and the negroes in this ;art of the black belt, which up a few years ago when the districts ! sre rearranged was accustomed to nding a negro congressman to ashington, are puzzled and put out j understand the strange change. I seems that the change in the situion has been brought about graduly by a class of working whites oving into Beaufort and becoming [ iters, while formerly the old aristoatic class was almost the only ? hitp pigment in the city proper. For me years the city has been going X ( rward,under a white mayor, but a X hite chief of police is as strange id revolutionary a fact as a negro ? lief mayor would be in a thriving + ty in the Piedmont section. ^ Hules Suffer and Convicts Drink. * Chester, Sept. 4.?The sheriff and X s active deputy are right in behind 1 le dealers hereabouts in the illict ^ >oze?all sales in this county being ? dw, of course, illict.
