Columbia, July 22.?The develop: ment to-day in the unique experience of Sheriff Coleman, of Richland coun> tv, who was yesterday fined for contempt of court and against whom i warrant has been issued, charging > that he threatened and cursed W. t C. Dowie, a fireman, of this city, was the transfer of the case from Magistrate Fowles's jurisdiction, because Mr. Fowles will likely be a witness in the case. It was stated to' night that the warrant has not yet been served. Mr. Dowie told news1 paper men this evening that he might take the matter up with Governor " Ansel. The whole matter, appearing at first in a small sized magistrate's ' case developed a wheel within a wheel, and goes back to the famous ' Blair trial. When Dowie, who used ' to be jailer, said Thursday in Magist.rat.'e Fowles's court that he lost his job because he would not allow Mrs. Ethed Blair, who was tried for killing her husband, to occupy Mrs. 1 Dowie's room on the night the jury ! was out, Sheriff Coleman cursed Dowie, saying the statement was un1 true. The sheriff was then fined for contempt. It is for the words of 1 Sheriff Coleman that Dowie issues 1 the warrant. ! TELEPHONES IN THE STATE. i Estimated that 20,000 are Now in Use?Work of R. R.

Too wet to go fishing, with all signs for more to follow, is the cheering note that sounds in the old farmer's ears, and he silently wishes to be in a desert where rain never comes save in winter, and the crop is raised by imagination and the oasis is green in the midst of dazzling sand salt and alkali; but it will not rain always and soon perhaps, the dust will rise clinging to everything, the old farmer hunt for a cool place and find it not, raise his hat, mops his brow and exclaim: "How hot! Never saw the like before." Yet how short of memory we mortals be. In 1867 for 30 days old Sol never showed his face. June of that year was that period. The rains began in late April and rained nearly every day until November. The low lands were ponds and the writer I remembers driving in the water cutting cabbage in water waist deep, in a spot never known to hold water before or since that day, only for a few hours at most. A horse could not stand out of the road on the highest elevation, the wells all caved from the tops on the high hills, and fish as large as a man's hand were caught in the public road leading up from the memorial grounds at Rivers' Bridge. Now don't smile at this fish tale. It is a true one, and more than once did the boys go swimming in the corn fields and could swim until out of breath without getting on land, and fever! fever! everywhere. The two years following were among the best ever known here, and they made good the year that the lliue cum inaue >%<is gauicicu iu stick baskets and brought out of the field on the shoulders of men, for a wagon and team could not go near them, and one farmer run eight plows and got seven bales of cotton. Then 1893 was a counterpart of this year and wound up yith the last great storm that has torn up things here, and rained continuously through September. That storm reached us the 31st day of August and left desolation in its wake. Still we live, the sun is shining and the boys are running the last furrows in the cotton, the corn crop's about the average, garden drowned out, but peas are good, and a sweet potato patch growing, with pork and turnips to follow, so all is calm and serene for the mocking bird is sad and silent now and looks like an old man feels with the blues, bi^t the bird will sing again the ninth of September and will thrill the world with his melody until cold weather. Dear little violets you came in July, To cheer the heart of a lone old man, You bring fond memories of other days. Happy to see you, stay as long as you can. Yes, violets in July to reward so soon for all the care bestowed on them last spring. An unusual sight, but they are here, hidden among the leaves, a fit emblem for true, but hidden love that comes true each * - " 1 i 1 j i.1. year, ana 11 me worio is euiu, tue> say look in my eyes of blue and smile for a heavy heart is made light where my cheer is shed as you look in my bright face. The last rose of summer is on a bush this morning, and a beautiful bud it'is, and will cause a smile and a light heart to a young lady as she pins it on her breast and smells the fragrance. Soon they will bloom again to shed sunlight around them. Quite a nice crowd was out at White Point school house yesterday afternoon, and had a beautiful subject for the Sunday-school lesson, the transfiguration of Christ, and the classes received a fine and appropriate talk on the lesson by Prof. W. D. Roberts, who has been on a visit at the home of Mr. J. J. Kearse, but returned to his home tnis morning. Mr. and Mrs Keel and family are down to see their parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Chitty, who are the oldest people we have around us, and may they live many years for their children and grandchildren to make an annual trip to see them. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Oswel are visiting the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Kearse. Miss" Bessie Lee Black is spending a few days with Miss Eloise Brabhairf. Master Bennie came down with her this morning, and will return to Bamberg to-morrow.
