In the very first inning Gaffney made three runs and the visitors never overcame the lead.

All day long rain fell in a drizzle and the ground was wet and the ball hard to control. Cowpens had come to Gaffney determined to take the game, having employed several professional players for that purpose, but luck was with the home boys and they finally won out by the score of 5 to 4 after a tiresome and long drawn-out con test during which much wrangling was Indulged In.

Burlington, Iowa, July 27.—I will try to write a short letter and let all my friends know that I am still living and getting on O. K. I had an attack of acute indigestion which got the best of me for several days but am feeling a great deal better now and I think I am on the road to normal health. I will be at. Burlington for several days. The doctor says I am full of malaria. I look as If though I had had a good case of jaundice. I have seen a lot of very fine lands since I left South Carolina, and espec ially from Chatanooga to Cincinnatti via Terre Haute to St. Louis it is fine for miles and miles Just as level as a yard and there is a lot of nice in Iowa and also In Minnesota. I want to go over into Kansas and Da kotas, Wyoming, Washington and I do not know where else before I re turn to South Carolina. I had the good luck to lose my um brella while I was getting a ticket for Burlington and also about $35 In money. Corn is bringing about 73 cents, oats 50 cents and wheat 70 cents per bushel out here and nice corn fed cat tle are worth 6 1-2 cents per pound. I witnessed some of my first boat races, ball games and harvesting on Sunday, July 19th. You can see the reapers running here on Sunday just the same as any other day when the grain Is ready to harvest, harvest ing is over here now and the yield is very good. Corn is looking fine. Wages are from $1 per day up to $2.50 in the harvest fields. You can see people from everywhere going to the harvest fields. A farm hand can get $1 a day and his board to work on the farm. The people all seem to live at home. You can see hundreds of hogs In most any of the pastures and also that many beef cattle. I have seen train loads of sheep pass Burlington. Forty and fifty cars at one' time. I am In plain view of the depot from the hotel. I will write you all the news I can when I see more of the country. With best wishes to all, I am, L.

I am making my campaign not on promises as to what I will do, but on what I have done. Those who have had business with the Railroad Commission will testify that I have ever been ready to dis charge the duties of my office fear lessly, impartially, and to the best in terests of the people of South Caro lina, and that I have always been courteous to those desiring informa tion and relief. I am the only Railroad Commis sioner who has moved his residence to Columbia to be in daily touch with the work of the office. During my term of office I have in spected personally every line of rail road in the State, often walking cross-ties that I might be assured that the conditions of the roadbeds and trestles were safe. I have been often ia every county in South Carolina, looking Into the conditions of the stations, and im proving the conveniences of the travelling public. I have stood for lower freight and passenger rates, better schedules, and safer modes of travel. The handsome majority you gave me formerly has always been appre ciated, and has been an incentive to a faithful performance of my duties. I hope to have your support In the coming election, and shall strive to ever render you faithful service. Yours truly, BANKS L. CAUGHMAN. Fire Insurance!
