GENERAL PRACTICE. J. Aldrich Wyman E. H. Henderson Wyman & Henderson J Attorneys-at-Law BAMBERG, S. C. General Practice. . Loans Negotiated "WITCH STICK" EARNS $20. ! Scientists Laugh, But City Authorities Point to Well of Water. Fort Dodge, la., Jan. 31.?August Grosenbaugh, an aged resident of this city, by the aid of a "witch stick," found a place he thought should be a site for a city well. The well was drilled 215 feet and now 600 gallons of water are pouring forth each minute. The council rewarded Mr. Grosenbaugh by commending his efforts and paying him ..$20. Now this payment of $20 for the use of tfce "witch stick" has raised the- ire of several men, including Dr. J. W. Kime, State lecturer on tuberculosis to the medical profession. Frank Paige, a retired scientist, and Captain George Riggland, one of the wealthiest men here. They declare the council was foolish eVcr to have had the "witch stick" used, as used, as belief in the efficacy is a relic of the Dark Ages. Dr. Kime looked through the reference books at the Carnegie Library and printed the information he found concerning the "witch stick." Members of the council merely laugh, point to the well and answer that they do not care how Mr. Grosenbaugh secured the site, but that they are satisfied with results. Corpse Came to Life. Asheville, N. C., Jan. 31.?Sup posed by his family to be dead, Robert Smith, 70 years old, of the Hominy section, was prepared for burial by them in the best room of the farm house Tuesday and covered with a sheet. News of the death circulated in the neighborhood, many friends called to express sympathy and these were invited in. They were massed in the room when the sheet was removed and Smith's face became visible, but none remained when he opened his eyes and asked, "It's raining, ain't it?"* Some went out through the doors but others preferred windows, whose sash they took with them. For some time no one returned. Smith died again next day, and, after a physician had pronounced him dead he was buried. Prioleau Contest Hearing. Washington, Feb. 1.?A preliminary hearing in the fifth contest of Aaron frioieau lor tne seat in congress now occupied by Representative George S. Legare, of Charleston, was held this morning before Elections Committee No. 2. The final hearing was set for March 27 next. Mr. Legare was represented by Mr. I M. Rivers, of Charleston, as his coun- ] | sel, and two colored lawyers, Jacob j Moorer, of Orangeburg, S. C., and Stewart, of Washington, D. C., asj sisted Prioleau.

Would Benefit the Farmer. j Washington, Feb. 1.?RepresentaI tive Lever, of the 7th South Caro! lina district, expresses himself as ( much pleased with a bill introduced to-day by Representative Bell, of Georgia, acing for a census committee sub-committee, of which Mr. Bell is chairman, as a substitute for bills previously introduced by Representatives Lever, Heflin and Oldfield, au- I thorizing the director of the census to publish, in connection with the statistics of cotton production, statistics covering cotton consumed by manufacturing establishments, baled cotton on hand, spindles in operation and imports and exports of cotton. In addition to this, the director of the census is authorized by the Bell bill to compile any available informa * ivL J lion concerning me pruuuuuuu, uuusumption and stocks of cotton in for- | eign countries and the number of cotton consuming spindles in such countries. These' reports are to be published each calendar month, and in connection with the acreage, condition, and final yield reports of the department of agriculture this information is to be mailed to all the daily newspapers of the country. Mr. Lever declares that the bill will give the. result which has been sought; that is, "as full a picture of consumption of cotton, to the producer, as is now being given to the manufacturer, of cotton produced." On the same day in the senate, Senator Smith, of South Carolina, in troduced a measure similar to many which have been offered in the house, to prohibit the Inter-State transmission of messages relating to transaction in futures with regard to farm products, except on affidavit that the transactions are bona fide and that the seller actually has the property. Heavy penalties are provided for the violation of the provision of the bill, which is very much the same as was introduced at the last congress by Representative Scott, of Kansas, who was defeated for re-election. The chances of the passage of measure in its present form are regarded as slim. The Farmers' Union is understood to be back of it. STOLE BREAD, THOUGHT CRAZY. Son of Millionaire Sent to Jail for Thirty Days. Woodcliffe, N. J., Feb. 2.?The theft of a loaf of bread, by Matthew W. Harbeson, son of a millionaire brick manufacturer, for which he was sentenced yesterday to serve 30 days in jail, prompted his relatives to take steps to have alienists examine him. His mother, Mrs. Julia Wood Harbeson, said that her son has been "erratic for some time and believes his eccentricities were due to the many wounds he received in duels fought while he wasa student at Kiel University, in Germany. In all, she said, he fought 37 duels and once was so seriously injured that a portion of his skull had to be cut away. She said her son had plenty of money and his theft of bread was inexplicable except in the light of his ill V? no 14* V> ii^ax tu Harbeson was arrested and sentenced on the complaint of a grocer, who had been missing a loaf or two of bread daily for several weeks. The prisoner's great-grandfather was Robert Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. ? BYRNES'S VOICE HEARD. Young Congressman in Debate on War Claims Bill. Washington, Feb. 2.?Debate on the war claims bill opened in the house to-day. Representative Byrnes, of South Carolina, who is a member of the committee which has this omnibus bill in charge, participated several times in the discussion. The debate may continue for a day or two, but the passage of the measure in the house is confidently expected. It carries several South Carolina claims which have already been mentioned. Minority Leader Mann, in his remarks on the war claims bill, expressed the significant hope that the senate would not attach the French spoliation claims to it this time, and suggested that if the spoliation claims were sent to the hou,se as a separate measure they might receive favorable consideration. It is plain that the Republicans do not mind seeing the Democrats spend money. Be a Farmer This Year. For many years I have been trying to persuade the Southern farmers to be farmers rather than merely planters of cotton. .But the leaven is working. The Corn Bolt is moving South. The report of the North Carolina . commissioner of agriculture shows that the average corn yield is 22 bushels an acre, where but a few years ago it was 12 bushels. Then the department of agriculture shows that Kansas, which dropped to 20 bushels a year or so ago, has now dropped to an average of 15 bushels, and Nebraska is down to 21 bushels. A Maryland friend, who has recently beeh on a business trip in North Carolina, says that the Maryland farmers must look to their laurels, for in many ways the farmers in North Carolina are getting ahead of them. The fact that North Carolina made an average of a bale of cotton an acre the past season shows that many farmers there are making more than a bale, and the man who does this is farming and has other things to sell besides cotton, and is not forced to sell his cotton on a falling market. But the fact still remains that there are thousands who do not make near a bale an acre, and these cannot make cotton at present prices. The men who are making a bale or more an acre have oats and wheat and hay and stock, while unfortunately the men who make a fourth of a bale have little else than cotton. Hence, take the editor's advice and next year be a farmer and not a mere cotton planter.?Progressive Farmer. BRYAN~AND*WILSON. The Great Commoner Endorses the Course of New Jersey's Governor, rkaiiac Tovaa .Tan SO.?"In the Harvey-Watterson controversy so far Mr. Wilson has been' helped rather than hurt by the correspondence. Mr. Wilson is right in believing that a man is sometimes hurt by the sort of men clamorous in his support." William J. Bryan made this comment to-night with regard to the controversy between Governor Wilson, of New Jersey, and Col. Henry Watterson, of Kentucky. Mr. Bryan was in Dallas for several hours between trains, en route to his farm at Mission, Texas, and discussed the political situation in general. Some Peroratin'. In making a peroration before enraptured hearerG, a speaker said: "We must not be content, but must advance. We must go on and on. We must reach higher heights, broader breadths and deeper depths." A village evangelist was improvising in prayer and presently stumbled irto a pitfall. "Oh Lord," he prayed, "make the intemperate temperate; make the unholy holy; make the industrious? dustrious."?Chicago Evening Post.
