The directors of the Walterboro Cotton M ills met at the ottice of the mill, May 19UG. After going into the details, it was found that the mill had been fairly well organized after being run six moths under the new management. Mr McGregor, the superintendent, rejwted that they had plenty of help now, and that the steam plant was sufficient for a larger mill. He also stated that there was plenty of extra floor space to increase the capacity, of the mill to 10,000 spindles, and by building 8 or 10 more houses there would be no trouble to get sufficient labor to op erate a large mill iu W alterboro. The President of the company, Jno. F. Lucas, was instructed to go ahead and arrange to install the necessary machinery to put the plant up to full sapacity. MR. C. W. BENNETT DEAD.

Buggy Wheel Tom to Pieces by Lightning Sunday Night.

Dr Ackerman had been out in the country to tee a patient and was ac companied by Dr Smith Turner, of Wal ter bora They were on their way back to town when the buggy wheel was struck by lightning about nine o’clock. The story as told by both these gentUmen, is indeed a thrilling one. It seems as if they, were stunned by the stroke of lightning and they thought at first that their horse had run away. The rain was falling very fast and they hitched their horse and went back up the- road about one half mile to Luther Yon’s house and told him that they had happened to an accident, but did not dream that their buggy had been struck by lightning. Drs. Ackerman ~ and Turner spent the night with Mr Yon, returning to Walterboro v next morning. Neither them nor the horse were hurt, though the wheel, as stated above, was torn to pieces.

X novice Dealaned «■ an Improv*- naent on the Single Pole. Many farmers are accustomed to breaking off the corn stubbles on ground Intended for plowing or culti vating early in spring by the use of a pole drawn crossways over the stub bles. The morning is generally the best time, before stubbles thaw and become tougb, when they will not break off so readily. This has always been my method of doing the work, and the objection I found was that a long pole where ground Is not level will not drag close to the ground Its whole length. A short pole requires Intendant John H. Peuitfoy, re turned from Charleston this morning, where he went before the officials of the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company with a petition from ttoe citizens along the line of railroad from Green Pond to Khrhardt re questing a change of Schedule, which went into effect about two weeks ago. He reports that his conference with A. W. Anderson, general superinten dent, and also with the railroad com missioners, war entirely satisfactory. Mr Andersofi^stated that the schedule would be changed within a few days and that the evening train from Green Pond to Walterboro will make connection with the train from Au gusta, as was the case before the recent schedule went into effect. It is understood that the change ia the schedule, requiring the train from Green Pond to leave before the ar rival of the train from Augusta, was made at the request of the railroad commissioners, who based their action upon a complaint of some of the peo ple living along the line. ;The change back to the old schedule we believe will be eatistactory to a majority of the people. CORN STUBBLE DRAG. too much driving, and the draft for a team Is very light Instead of a single pole I cut two of about equal size, each about twelve or fourteen feet iu length, and coupled together at the thin ends, with a coupling, as shown in the cut. It Is necessary to use n chain from the coupling as well as from each end, as shown. The chains may be adjusted to draw the poles at an an gle, as shown, which seems to work still better than drawn square across the stubbles. This is a very simple suggestion, says a writer lu Ohio Farmer, and a similar device may have been used by others, but I have never seen anything but a single pole used for the purjKJse. It requires but a few minutes’ time and no expense to make according to plan and will prove to work better and take much less time to do the work than the former method • • The Perfect Spanlah Deirzar.
