Drought Is Broken.
The drought in this section was
broken Fridpy by a splendid rain,
since which time there has been a
copious rainfall in various parts of
the county, leading some farmers to
fear that the pendulum has swung
from one extreme to another. Com
plaints of shedding by cotton plants
continue to rfeach here. Barnwell ex
perienced the hottest weather of the
summer—end probably in many years-
on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
of last week.
The candidates for county offices
made their weekly appeals for the
votes of “the deer peepul" at Dunbar
ton Friday morning, a comparatively
small crowd of men and women being
present. When the meeting was
called to order at 11 o’clock by Solo
mon Blatt, E*q., of BarawelL not mors
than 26 votaers were present, includ
ing tbe candidate* thewselvee. but tbe
number gradually grew larger until a
hundred er more were in tbe audtence.
Moody and Mamdsg.
Mr. C. WT Moody, candidate for
County Auditor, led off and reviewed
tbe events leading up to tbe appoint
ment of Mr. W. H. Manning, the pres
ent incumbent, who suscended the late
Mr. R. W. Riley. Mr. Moody claimed
that the appointment was rightfully
his, inasmuch as he ran the second
race with Mr. Riley four years ago
He charged Mr. Maaniag with failiag
to keep his office open every week day
and criticised him for employing Mr?,
Manning as his assistant. Mr. Moody
also questioned the Auditor, who re-
died very eourteounly. If elected, the
speaker promised On efficient admin-
st ration.
Mr. Manning ignored the attacks of
tis opponent, other than to state that,
the efficiency of his Administration
was due in large measure to his able
assistant. He pointed out that he had
