The work done in the country at large is estimated at 08.4 per cent, of the total contemplated, the proportion usually done by May 1 being about 75 per cent of the whole. In South' Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Texas the work is later than any year for which records are available. In consequence of the almost if not entirely unprecedented backwardness of the season, the statistician is unable to make the' usual preliminary estimate of the new acreage of cotton.

I desire to extend my most heartfelt and sincere thanks to the kind people of Heath Springs and vicinity who so generously help me in my time of need. Mrs. Willie Jones Magill, S. C., May 10 I fax ?i "|>4 M- , ' * A CARD. Mr. ) .r As I have yielded to J .ishes of my friends. . and ie a candidate for I Sheriff, I would respectfully ask you to do mo the kindness to publish this communication in the columns of your valuable paper; for the reason that it will be impossible for me to make a house to house canvass during the campaign. It is known to the people of Lancaster that I have served my county as sheriff for a number of years, and my State as U.S. Marshal for one term. It now remains with my fellow citizens t.o say whether or not I have been true and faithful in the discharge of my official duties in the past. Should they conclude that I have been, and choose to favor me with an election to the office of sheriff again, I promise with the help of a kind Providence to render as faithful service in the future as I endeavored to perform when I was their servant in the past; and shall always be guided by that golden rule: "Do unto others as I would wish them to do unto me." Sopie would feiltti oersuade mv friends to try a ?/ believe that I committed an offense by resigning the sheriff's office and accepting the U. S. Marshal's office, which was procured for me by strong friends in this county and State?after persistent persuasion to allow my name to be used for said office. In this matter I did only what my friends urged me to do ; and I am confident that no one can say truthfully that T have ever, in any instance, been disloyal to those who have so kindly given me their confidence and support. If any one has suffered any detriment whatever by the course of my friends, in promoting me to the office of U. S. Marshall, I have never yet heard of it. While I have been highly honored by my good friends of this county and State, for which I shall ever feel very grateful, I am nevertheless a poor man today. Nor am I at all ashamed of my poverty : for it is no disgrace to be poor if honest, any more than it is to be rich, if riches be honestly obtained. If I 1,0.1 KOO., O - i ikvu uci:ii (i vvivuiuua nielli, HJS some would like to hrvvo my friends believe, I would have been independent to-day, so far i as tbis world's goods are concerned ; and the very fact that I am still a poor man refutes the insinuations of those who malign inc. All of these matters, however, I shall leave to the good people of Lancaster county to determine; and let them say ' whether or not I have ever turned a deaf ear to cries for ' help, or have ever been blind to the needs of poor struggling i humanity, when it was in my 1 power to relieve want or suffering. The question of selecting a I sheriff for the next four years is , before the voters ; and with con| fidenee in their judgment I shall await their decision at the pri-l I mary, as to who shall serve them, and pledge myself to abide by the result of their ballot. Very respectfully, J. P. Hunter. Lancaster, May 12, 11)00. U?oil ilurlntr fr.xp?etancjr. Simmon'* Sqtniw Vino VVino or TablotH clioor unit Stronutlion Mo'hor.

A thick column of smoke is rising from the crater and the earth shocks are vio| lent. Tho cable car service up Mt. Vesuvius has been suspended in consequence of the eruption. Four Englishmen attempted to ascend the mountain on foot, and,eluding the vigilance of the carbineers, who form a cordon at a height beyond which tho ascent is considered unsafe, they approached the summit. Suddenly the volcano belched forth a stream of lava and large stones, which descended upon the foolhardy tourists, who were rescued in a terribly bruised and battered condition and removed to the hospital. - ^ i--rHn'Trr Special Occasions?Side Trips From Charleston During Annual Meeting National Educational Association, July * 14, 1900A Southern Kail way will sell side trip ticketn Irom Charleston, S. 0. at rate of one first class fare for the round trip to St. Augus tine and I'ensaoola, Fla., Mobile, Ala., New Orleans, La., Meridian, MIrs., {Birmingham, Ala., Chattanooga, and Bristol, Tenn , White Sulphur Springs, Va., Washington, D.
