A GRAND SUCCESS. Entertainment at Fairfax by Young People Makes a Hit. Fairfax, Oct. 6.?No town in the State can produce lady workers who are more zealous in good causes than ours are. Mrs. Fannie Loadholt, assisted by her sisters, Miss Zelle Loadholt, (a recent graduate) undertook recently to put before our young folks a comedy in three acts, "Breezy Point," with the following dramatis personne. 4 4 nf i nf Proo?v AUlll JLJCUu* , iiuobi^oo \jl vv?j Point?Mrs. 0. J. Youmans. Elinor Pearl, of unknown parentage?Miss Joella Padgett. Ashrael Grant, a work-house waif ?Miss Zelle Loadholt. Mrs. Hardscratch?Miss Chivie O'Neal. Bethia Hardscratch, Sophia Hardscratch?the twins?Lucy Googe and Mildred Loadholt. Mehitable Doolittle?Miss Marie Craddock. Bernice Vernon, Laura Leigh, Edith Norton, Clarice Fenleigh? Aunt Deb's summer boarders?Miss Carrie O'Neal, Miss Belle Compton, Mrs. Benj. Brunson, Miss Lena Loadholt. Fantine, Miss Vernon's French Maid?Miss Minnie Jenkins. Old Clem, the Gypsy?Miss Lizzie Wilson. Of course these ladies had innumerable difficulties to surmount before they felt the girls could "recite and act the whole book," but their efforts were rewarded with success, and our young folks crowned with laurels, for they certainly acted icy.? their parts well, with not a single exception. Aunt Deb, the kind motherly hostess, won all hearts, while Elinor was enchanting all through the play. The amusing scene between the French maid and Ashrael brought down the house, especially when the former runs away from her mistress and marries Billy, Ashrael's butcher beau, who she describes as a "vete, rinary doctor." The Hardscratch twins, who "never tell nothin',' had the times of their lives when they v . were helping to wait on Aunt Debby's hoarders, while she was away from home. The summer boarders, who were fashionable college girls, did nnt havf> nne dull moment at Breezy N l """ ?? ? Point; especially did they enjoy helping to keep house in Aunt Deb, by's absence. When she returns they all rush to get the first kiss, and want to hear right away her adventures, which sound like a fairy tale, especially when she tells that she has discovered her beloved Elinor's parentage, the Hon. Richard Arlington being her father. An old gypsy, dying, reveals that she had stolen her in infancy from wealthy parents and left her in a basket at ||fciv Aunt Debby's door. It all ends so happily, and, like all interesting stories, we wanted to know more about the Breezy Point folks?how Ashrael fared when she t went with Fantine's former mistress | to Europe, etc. The Fairfax band discoursed sweet \ music between the acts, then all repaired to the rooms where delicious refreshments were served. Quite a nice sum was realized for the BapBfefetist parsonage. The new teachers begin to feel V Quite at home with us, and have ^-4 "thin 2s in good order at the school. Mrs. Sam Talley and Mrs. Sallie Sanders have returned after a two months' absence, in the mountains of North Carolina. R? - SV ? Negro Insulted Kershaw Lady. V- ! Lancaster, Oct. 9.?Sheriff Hunter made a hurried trip to Heath Springs to-day in response to telegram advising him to "Come at once. Have trouble. A negro has insulted lady." On his arrival the sheriff found that the negro in question had been taken to Kershaw county and severely whipped and then ordered to leave the State. > It is said that the negro, whose name is Rich Thompson, about 25 years old, went to the home of a widow in the Heath Springs section last night and knocked at the door. The summons was answered by her child, who went back and reported to its mother that a man wanted to see her. On the lady's going to the door herself the negro boldly made an improper proposal to her, whereupon she indignantly ordered him off and shut the door, the negro disappear\ ing in the darkness. The lady lost no time in notifying her people of what had happened. . They captured the negro and finally Hisr?n*od of him as stated, doing so under the impression that, having made no assault, he could not be punished under the law. It's the World's Best. No one has ever made a salve, ointment or balm to compare with Bucklen's Arnica Salve. It's the one perfect healer of cuts, corns, burns, bruises, sores, scalds, boils, ulcers, eczema, salt rheum. For sore eyes, cold sores, chapped hands, or sprains, it's supreme. Infallible for piles. Only 25c at People's Drug Co., Bamberg, S. C. TWO MORE ARRESTS. Negroes Arrested in Georgia to be Brought Back. Lexington, Oct. 7.?The only new developments to-day in the Williams murder case is the announcement from Auguta that Chief Elliott has , two negroes at Appling, Ga., under ; arrest, it being believed that one of them at least is implicated in the murder and robbery which occurred on the Hagen beck-Wallace circus train last Saturday night. Three Others. Felton Gilbert, the negro who alleges that he was thrown from the train about six miles this side of Columbia, after he had been beaten up and robbed of 30 cents, said that there were three other negroes in addition to the three he has recognized in the jail here who helped to assault him. He was given a full description of^them to the officers and the entire country is being scoured in an effort to find the men. It is supposed that Chief Elliott has one of these men under arrest at Appling, Ga., and it is likely that the suspects will be brought to Lexington vat once. Gilbert is still here. He is rapidly recovering from his injuries. Awful Experience. W. M. Harris, a young white man, who joined the circus four weeks ago at Nashville, Tenn., and who is per- ' haps one of the most valuable witnesses for the prosecution, is still here and will remain until after the trial of the men now in jail. Mr. Harris also had a terrible experience on the same train upon which young Paul Williams was so brutally slain. When the train was about five miles this side of Colum- ' bia, according to the statement of Harris, about 12 men attacked him, four of whom threw him down, beat him over the head and after robbing him of all the money he had?$12.50 ?two pocket knives and a time-book, knocked him off the train. Harris went back to Cayce and boarded the train for Augusta next morning, where he reported the assault and robbery to Chas. Hagenbeck, manoero-i. nf tho Htvmir He has. recog vi vuv W w w nized two of the negroes in the jail as being his assailants, the others, he thinks, have not been arrested. Wil Ask Special Term. The special officers of the Southern railway, who were dispatched to work on the case, are still busy, it is said, and Chief Elliott, of Augusta, is still on the job. Sheriff Corley said to-day that he would ask Solicitor Timmerman to have a special term df court held to try the men. The Question of Whiskey. Washington, Oct. 5.?In what quantity and how frequently may a man indulge in whiskey in South Carolina before he may be said to 1 "use" it to excess, is one of the questions which the Supreme Court of the United States may feel itself called upon to consider in a short time. Application has been made to the court to review the judgment of the Federal courts of South Carolina, re- . fusing to allow the estate of Dr. Joseph P. Johnson, deceased, of Dor- 1 Chester county, S. C., to recover $10,000 on an insurance policy issued by the State Mutual Life Insurance company, a Georgia corporation. The court airectea a veruiut iu favor of the company on the ground < that Dr. Johnson in making application for a policy made fraudulent . representations as to his sanity. Attorneys for the estate claimed that Dr. Johnson had not been in- ! sane, but admitted that he was once at an insane asylum for eighteen days i as a result of delirium tremens produced by a sudden over indulgence of whiskey and not an excessive use of the liquor. ^ ^ ( Forced to Leave Home. Every year a large number of poor sufferers whose lungs are sore and racked with coughs are urged to go jto another climate. But this is costfly and not always sure. There's a i better way. Let Dr. King's New Discovery cure you at home. "It cured me of lung trouble," writes W. R. Nelson, of Calamine, Ark., "when all else failed and I gained 47 pounds in weight. Its surely the king of all , cough and lung cures." Thousands ' owe their lives and health to it. Its positively guaranteed for coughs, colds, lagrippe, asthma, croup?all throat and lung troubles. 50c and $1.00. Trial bottle free at People's Drug Co., Bamberg, S. C. J. Y. Jones Released. Yorkville, Oct. 9.?Early in July of this year a young man named J. Y. Jones, whose parents live at Eli, Texas, and who has relatives in this , State, charged with obtaining from the Bank of Clover $172.50 and from the Fort Mills Savings Bank $240, or from two a total of $412.50 by means of fraudulent checks drawn on a bankin Asheville, was later arrested in Charleston on a warrant sworn out by the Bank of Clover, and brought to Yorkville, where he was lodged in jail on July 11. He remained there until yesterday, when he was released, the money having been refunded to the banks and the matter settled in this way by reason of previous arI rangement with Solicitor Henry. 7 SERIOUS OFFENCE CHARGED. IToung Man Most Appear Before U. S. Court in Greenville. Johnston, Oct. 7.?Charlie Powell, the 18-year-old son of Mr. R. W. Powell, a planter two miles from Johnston, and Jule Walker, a negro, about 21 years old, a hand on the place will have to appear before the United States Court in Greenville on the 18th charged with violation of the United States postal laws. Jule Walker, the negro, it is said, was seen taking.mail from the mailing box, while Charlie opened the letter that was taken out, and seeing the letter was of no importance, he carelessly laid it aside at the gin house. Detective Hudgins was soon nn the trail, and the men were car ried to Edgefield for a preliminary trial. Jule Walker is in jail and Charlie Powell is out on bond, awaiting a trial Monday at Edgefield, which was postponed until then on account of the absence of the witnesses. .Mr. Powell, father of the young man, has the sympathy of his friends.

Charleston, Oct. 7.?Daniel Duncan, the negro charged with the murder of Max Lubelsky, white, was found guilty this afternoon in the court of general sessions and will probably be sentenced to-morrow to die on the gallows. The murder was a particularly brutal one, occurring at midday in Lubelsky's store. A week later, while the police and detectives were at work on the case, Lub lsky's widow was assaulted with a club and Duncan is also charged with this crime. His Distinguished Mark. One day a big city bank recorded the following message from cne of its country correspondents: "Pay twenty-five dollars to John Smith who will call to-day. The cashier's curiosity became suspicious when a nahmnn assisted into the bank a drunken "fare" and shouted that he was John Smith and wanted some money. Two clerks pushed, pulled and piloted the boisterous individual into a private room away from the sight and hearing of regular depositors. The cashier wired the country bank: "Man claiming to be John Smith is here. Highly intoxicated. Shall we await identification?" The answer read: "Identification complete. Pay the money."?Success Magazine. LIQUOR HOUSES PAY UP. Three Firms Secure Release of Funds Duer Them. Colubia, Oct. 7.?By paying over to the dispensary commission the net sum in the aggregate, of $4,682.80, three liquor houses Friday secured the release of funds due them by the several county dispensaries. The commission had impounded credits on these houses with the county dispensaries in order to compel adjustment of certain debts orieintr frr\tn aa 11' n oro a f f V? a aaa_ ai loiug iiv/ui luc vi tuc cuucerns with the old State dispensary. The houses concerned were Rosskam, Gerstley & Co., of Philadelphia; Strauss, Pritz & Co., of Cincinnati, and the Cook-Bernheimer Company, of New York city. The Richland Distilling Company account was not taken up at the meeting of the dispensary commission Friday. Adjournment was taken sine die early in the afternoon. There were present: Commissioners A. N. Wood, of Gaffney; Avery Patton, of Greenville; and John McSween, of Timmonsville. The chairman, Mr. W. J.

The increased interest in the feeding of live stock by the farmers is one of the most encouraging signs that a different and better system of agriculture is gradually being developed. Farmers are beginning to realize that some means must be devised for obtaining maximum yields of the several crops at the minimum expense of fertilizer, and fortunately there is no section of the country where soil fertility can be permanently increasd more economically. The continuous growing of cotton on the same fields year after year onH nroeViinor nf lonH ^nrir?(y VJ. HiV, 10.11VA the winter months has been the chief cause of depleting the fertility and reducing the yield upon the average farms. Yet if a rational system of agriculture were followed, these conditions would be quickly removed and the value and productiveness of the land permanently increased. While cotton seed meal contains practically all the fertility extracted from the soil by the cotton crop and is one of the most valuable fertilizers we have, it is also equally as valuable for feeding live stock. The cotton lint and the oil contain no fertility whatever and can be sold from the farm without l03s which means that if the cotton seed meal now produced in this State was fed to beef and dairy cattle and other animals good enough to reurn to the owner the market price of the meal in the form of milk or increased flesh, the wealth of the State would be increased over $5,000,000 annually and if the manure were carefully saved and returned to the soil, the anual account for fertilizer which is now $20,000,000 could be reduced to the extent of the value of the meal. It would only require a few years of this system to enable every farmer to make his own fertilizer free of cost and double our present yield and revenue per acre. Many farmers are now endeavoring to do this, by feeding of beef cattle and if intelligent methods are followed this can be developed into a profitable business. In looking over the feeding records last year we find that many farmers could have materially increased their profits had better methods of selecting, feeding and caring for their cattle been followed. For feeding purposes farmers should insist on buying nothing but the best quality and highest grade meal that is offered. The cheaper low grade meal and mixed feed are always the least profitable and should not be used except at a much lower price than they are usually sold for. In buying catle it is important that they should be of good beef type and uniform in size, color and age. The cattle should be weighed after being twelve hours without feed or water or with a 3 per cent, shrink. If they are weighed 50 or 75 pounds of water and feed in each animal, it might easily offset the profits of feeding them. The profits in feeding cattle will depend largely on the character of ' - ?"IJ. mi 1 -- l.:_ J nnn me canit?. iue uuij jmuu mat ^au. be fed profitably are those that will increase in value as they put on flesh. The scrub narrow backed steer can only be fed at a loss and one of the first requisites in sucessful cattle feeding is to become a judge and be able to make an intelligent selection. The agricultural fairs should asist materially in this matter by establishing judging classes, and wherever the farmers of the State are sufficiently interested in the breeding, feeding, judging and caring for any kind of live stock to call a meeting, the Extension Department of Clemson College will gladly send men who are specially trained in this line of work to render every possible assistance or will be glad to render assistance by correspondence.

Another member of the i family had used Doan's Kidney Pills several years previous with great benefit, so I finally went to the Peo- ^ pies Drug Co. and procured a box.
