Both had begun to suffer seriously. Col. L. \V. Youmans was badly snow'ed under by the Conven-* tion in his effort to prevent the passage of a resolution endorsing senator Tillman's course in the United States senate. He was the only delegate who voted against the resolution. It is said that Colonel L. W. Youmaps of Barnwell wants to run against Senator Tillman for the Senate, but if he can see as far as the end of- his nose, lie will not undertake the job.

PEACE AND HARMONY ABOUND A few years ago we read and heard a great deal about "peace and harmony", but there was an exhibition of genuine peace and harmony and general good feeling all around in the State convention Wednesday when Kx-Oovernor John C. Sheppard arose and presented in behalf of the Edgefield delegation the name of Senator B. R. Tillman as a delegate-at-large. It was a case in which extremes meet, Ex-Gov. Sheppard having been aforetime the exponent of the anti-Tillman faction. A delegrate from Charleston (the place of all others in which Tillman was most despised and more "cus9eci ') was the lirst to second his nomination. Truly things have changed and all are to be congratulated upon the good feeling that now prevails in the ranks of the Democracy of this State. For Thb Enterprise Dry Creek Dots. Dry Creek. S. C., May 10.? Mr. Editor: News is scarce in this part of the country. The majority of the farmers are through planting. Some have commenced chopping cotton, though everything is needing rain hi. uuh writing, iranlens are looking very fine, considering the dry weather. Mrs. D. B. Crenshaw an 1 her daughter, Miss Maggie, spent last Wednesday with Mrs. T. I). Caskey. Mr. R. K. Stover of Oakhurst visited his sister at Mr. A. II. Carter's last Sunday. The young people are looking forward to next Saturday as a day of pleasure, as it is the last of school. I know they will all regret to part with Miss Mamie. Guess what girls, on looking out and seeing their fellows com- ( jing, jumped to ruu and made [only one leap into the nearest '9 1 room ? Guess what young girkran into 1 the house and peeped through a eruck at a married man, thinking ' ? it was her best hoy ? Guess what young man thinks 1 he is going to have a nicer time ^ at the picnic than anybody else * because he is going to take his best girl ? 1 Guess what young man is hitch ( ing at his same old tree, and his mule has almost dug it up ? We don't know whether it was such * a choice tree or whether the mule wanted to get home to its mas- ' ter.

Sapps. i Mr. W. it.Sapps died last Wed nesday night, May 10, at the home of his father-in law, W. .J- 1 Long, of Lancaster, after a short illness. lie had been, since last October, working at railroad j grading near Camden and also at i Remberl, S. C. lie came home i a few days ago on a visit to his | family and to secure some hands , to work on the railroad, lie , | 1 complained of a headache which | he said he had had for about two weeks before he came home, and ( also complained ot kidney trouble, ] but this was his first time to ( j have the headache. When night came on he retired early, hut got no rest during the night his head ( acning nun so. 1 lie lollowing ing morning Dr. Strait was sum moned and lound liim suffering from a severe bilious attack, and | gave him a dose ol calomel. Shortly alter that he became al J most distracted from tlie pain in^ his head and hollowing that his his head was killing him. In a few minutes he lay down and seemed to get easy, dozing off into sleep, and could not be 1 aroused any more except during ' I ho lirst hour to answer the in 1 quirieR by his wite as to how he ] felt. About (our o'clock in the 1 afternoon he had something like a spasm ami Doctors I'oovy and Strait were summoned. On ar 1 riving they found him in a deep ( stupor, breathing heavily. They done what they could but failed 1 to revive him. lie lingered until!1 about 8:30 o'clock when life be came extinct. 1 Thurday morning Magistrate ' Caskev, owing to the illness of 1 coroner Young, summond a jury and held an inquest over the ' body. A verdict was returned in accordance with the opinion ol the physicians, that he came to his death from an overdose of morphine or other opiate. If such was the cause of death, it is unaccountable as to how he obtained it. for it was not administered by the physicians or any member ol the family. Mr. Sapps was about 37 years of age. lie married the eldest daughter of W. .1. Long, of this place, and to this union throe' boys were born, all quite young, who with their mother, are left to mourn the loss of a father and husband. Mr. Sapps was a man of good judgment, was a hard working man, a good farmer, and had I many friends who will regret to learn of his unexpected dea'h. He was buried at Camp Creek Baptist church on Thursday. the 17th, in the presence of a number! of friends and relatives. A short but impressive funeral service fwas conducted bv Rev. M. J. I?npr.

Financial World The department of agriculture ias issued a statement showing g he wheat crop of the world for f he five years, 1895 to 1899. I I'iiis statement includes the de- ? jartment's first estimate of the t ?rop ot 1899 and a revision of 'stimates of the four preceding J | 1 rears. Official crop reports of he countries enumerated have 1 jeen utilized when obtainable, r . * .1 /r i i? a lew nisiances, wnere omciai lata were issued or had not been "eceived, estimates have been j aased upon the information which " seemed most trustworthy. Commercial interest in this statement naturally centers in the crop of which a portion still remains in the hands of producers 41 and dealers?that of 1891). The t sufficiency of this to supply all demands during the present crop ( year seems incontestable. The c aggregate world's production in ' 1899 amounted to 2,725,407,000 bushels, a decrease, it is true, of 195,638,000 bushels, or a little less than 7 per cent, from the ? crop of 1898 ; but, compared with cthe average of the four preceding | years?1895 to 1898?a com par- [ ison which previously is more * satisfactory?the 1899 production shows an increase of nearly 6? percent.?161,833,000 bushels. 1 C The.increase from year to year t in the amount consumed, a fact 1 universally conceded, is believed to have enlarged the capacity of !' the markets, so that last year's i ?rnn 111:1V nrnvfi nn mnro I li:i 11 t sufficient for consumption , and f necessary reserves. t The variation in the quantity uf wheat produced on eac.h conti nent in 1809 from that harvested nn the same continents in 1809, ? was as follows : t North America, decrease, 136,- j 539,000 bushels ; Europe, de T crease, 80,151,000 bushels; Asia, ' decrease, 35.575,000 bushels; Africa, decrease, 10,830,000 bushels ; South America, increase. p 15.728.000 bushels ; Australia, i increase. 21,232.000 bushels ; world, decrease in 1899, 195,- t 138.000. 8 The percentages of the crop ol 1 1899 furnished by each of the ireat divisions was : North America, 22 83 per cent ; Ku- r rope, 55 02 percent.; Asia, 14 05 J percent. ; Africa, 1.32 per cent ; South America, 4.12 per cent I; Australia, 2 00 per cent. r Europe not only produces more r than half the world's crop, but x COIlRliniPS ulliuml I liM ontir<. i world's surplus North America, [>n the other hand, raises bet ween >ne fourth and one fifth of the . world's crop, and is the world's < iireat surplus exporter.
