Yesterday's rains came in
good time for the small grain
and for the gardens. 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. The
convention incident showswhich
way the wind blows, and that

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.

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.

daughter, Miss Maggie, spent last
Wednesday with Mrs. T. I).

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

it was her best hoy ?

Beware of a Cough. ,
A cough is not a disease but asymp- |
torn Consumption and bronchitis,
which are the most dangerous ami <
fatal disease, have for their first indication
a persistent cough, and if prop
erly treated as soon as this cough ap- i
pears are easily cured. Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has proven wonderfully
successful, and gained its wide |
reputation ami extensive sale by its
success in curing the disease which
cause coughing. If it ismot beneficial j
it will not cost you a cent. For sale

Death of W. It. 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.

World's Wiieat Production.
Commercial am? 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

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
