A negro farmer named Willie Garvin was severely slashed and beaten with a hoe on -Monday morning at his place in the Clear Pond section by another negro named Peter Reddish. The difficulty arose over the plowing of some cotton. It seems that the Reddish negro was farming on Garvin's land under <21 i/UULX CIV/VTlbU \jiui V Auy ? , w some time ago he told Garvin that the cotton on the land was laid by. However* Garvin, after seeing the cotton, decided that it should be plowed again, and told Reddish to do so. But he refused to plow it any more, and said that he was through with it until picking time. Whereupon, Garvin, after insisting on several different occasions that h.e plow it, and realizing that it was useless to tell him about it again, took his plow and began plowing the cotton himself. When Reddish came upon the scene he asked Garvin what he was doing, and after some words between them and being told that he was ninTOjrifi' tho ootton. he (Reddish) ?? ? * walked off, and Garvin continued plowing, supposing the trouble to be ended. But as he neared the end of the row which he was plowing Reddish emerged from a corn field and began cursing him and told him that he would not allow any man to be'plowing his cotton. He then attacked Garvin with the hoe, cutting a fearful gash in the top of his head and another on the arm. He next turned on him with the handle of the hoe and heat him with that until it broke. Garvin had nothing to protect himself with, and consequently could offer little resistance. His wounds were dressed and stitched by Dr. H. F. Hoover. They are very serious, hut will probably not prove fatal. Garvin's brother had warrant sworn out for Reddish and he was-arrested by Deputy Sher iff Brabham in Bamberg Tuesday morning and lodged in jail here charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. He was uninjured. Growing Cautious. Chatty Lodger (to landlord)? You seem to have seen a good deal. What are you? Landlord?Well, sir, I was a lion tamer, and I'd be there now if I 'adn't a-married. But you see, my wife were a knife thrower in the same show, and she got to practicing her turn on me. Well, thinks I, life ain't too long to run no risks, so I took on a safe job and become a steeplejack. ' Big Line of Vehicles. C. F.

Predicts Democratic Success. Six hundred Democrats at a banquet at Asbury Park, New York, Wednesday night, heard Gov. Wilson predict Democratic success in 1912.

PRAISES THE DEMOCRATS. President Taft Gives Them Credit for Passing Bill. In the first statement he has made since the passage of the reciprocity bill by the senate, President Taft, at the summer White House at Beverly, Mass., freely acknowledged that his long, hard campaign in behalf of that measure would have proved unavailing if the Democrats had not helped him. Without such aid the president said reciprocity would have been "impossible." "The Democrats did not 'play polities' in the coloquia sense in which those words are used," said the president, "but they followed the dictates of a higher policy."

I met a man from West Australia, and he told me that water was so scarce there, nobody ever washed except when it rained. "He said that a West Australian would often, seeing clouds in the sky, strip and cover himself with a thick layer of soap in preparation for the downpour and then, by Jove, the clouds would drift away, the sun would blaze forth in a blue sky again, and there would be nothing for the poor fellow to do but scrape off the soap with a knife, dress, and go back to work again." * , special notices.
