REALTY COMPANY HELD SECOND SALE Twenty Acres, Divided Into 134 Lots, Have Been Sold nt Something Like $11,000. The North Laurens Realty company held is second auction sale of lots out on North Harper street last Thurs day. The weather was favorable, the attendance fair and the bidding spir ited. The Newberry Silver band was again on hand, which together with a live wire auctioneer and Other nourishing features, the occasion was made lively and interesting from first to last. Mr. Allen Bramlett of the city won the $10 in gold, offered to the party who should guess nearest to the aver age price per front foot of the lots sold, and Mr. John T. Poole who bought an entire block was given the free lot. At the first sale Master R. L. Robertson, son of Mr. Chas. Robert son of near Ora, won the free lot. At this sale the remaining lots of tue original 134 carved out of that portion of the .1. D. Watts' tract located east of the railroad, were sold. The total amount for both sales aproximated $11,000, and the company still has on hand about 5.r> acres which will be cut, It is understood, to suit purchasers. It is good land for farming or truck ing as well as building purposes and no doubt will soon be disposed of. McLcod and Manning. The Sumter Herald in speaking of the candidacy of Hon. Thos, G. McLeod says he will come out of the light in the also-ran-class. What makes the Herald make this prediction? Is it because its candidate. Hon. R. I. Man ning, occupies a conspicious position in the also-ran-class? Watch the pre diction of one who guesses correctly more often than Ik; fails: Thomas G. McLeod will receive double as many votes in the coming primary as will be cast for that excellent gentleman, Hon. R. I. Manning. Why do we say so? It is because McLeod has always stood conistently by his convictions, and \ has not made enemies by running with the hare and barking with the hounds. And too, hirf being deserving of pro motion for good and faithful service , rendered, appeals to fair minded and appreciative people?a Cnrollnan char- ! acteristic.?The Manning Times. ._I Biennially. About this time every two years the political pot begins to simmer and candidates are talked of. The Green ville News says that Congressman Johnson has announced that he will be a candidate for re-election, and The News mentions that Alvin 11. Dean. .1. A. McCullough, J. .i. McSwnin and B. A. Morgan of Greenville are talked of as candidates against him. .None of these would commit himself to this effect to The News, but that paper says it is certain that there will be at least two candidates for congress this year from Greenville county. It has been known for some time that Sitate Senator FJ. P. Townsend of Union, was thinking of 'making the race. He has talked with some of his friends about It, but It Is not known wiiat eneouragemen the has received nor what his intentios are. Mr. Town send is na able and popular gentle man, as are those mentioned of Green, ville.. Mr. Johnson Is completing his ilfth term in congress, having been first elected in ?100. He lias been extra ordinarily diligent and has climbed gradually into a position of influence in the house, although it has had a j republican majority ever ^ince he has 1.n in it. In the event that the next house has a democratic majority, as seems highly probably now, it is likely that Mr. Johnson would become chair man of the Important committee on public buildings and grounds, besides having other influential committee as signments on account of his long ser vice. Regardless of all this, however, the Beat in congress belongs to the people of the district and they have every two years the right and the privilege to make a change, if they desire it. Those who have tried to get Uiem to make a change heretofore, however, nave had pool success in doing so. n?* he has each time had large majorities. It remains to bo seen what view the people of the district will take of stich a proposition this year, should there be any candidates ngainst Mr. John son.?Spartanburg Journal. 10 cts. buys a large size first class Butcher Knife, nt S.

Tlllman would be taken io Europe this summer, that he was to be taken first to a sanitarium, and so forth. The story Is revived today. There is noth ing to it now, as there was not before. Mrs. Tillman stated today that no plans whatever have been made ex cept to tai.e the senator home to Tret; ton as soon as he is able to travel. How long this will be can not be told. The senator is progressing, but very slowly. He talks a little and can stand on his feet, but the use of bis right leg does not come back to him very rapid ly, and he Is not trusted to walk. Like wise they do not encourage him to talk. There has been some talk of going to Europe, but it is only talk. It would be the natural thing to do in order to get the senator completely away during the coming political con tests, but no plans have been made, nor would be several months. As Mrs. Tillman says, "Before we consider his going anywhere, we want Ilrst to get him on bis feet." 1! A R AC A-PHIL A TU E A CON V E N TI0 X.

Robertson were neighbors, but had a difference and met In the big road to take It out in words. They pitched Into each oth er at a lively rate. One would tell some short-coming on the other and then wait for a reply. It went on un til they told everything they knew or ever heard on each other. Finally Mc. put in a good one on the preacher which so staggered him that he had no immediate reply. "Why don't you come again John?" He stood and scratched his head un til he brought out this answer: "Mc, I knew you were no account the first time I met you? "Why, preacher?" "Because you part your liar (hair) In the middle." Plain country people always had a prejudice against a man that parted his hair in the middle. First: He was Infringing on the rights of the gentler sex. Second: It showed a sign of a weak ness In his upper story. Rales Far Measuring Lumber. A board foot is one foot long, one J' foot wide and one inch thick.

CAROLINA GROWS BEST COHN. Congressman Johnson Pays Tribut? to the Miutor Prolific. Washington, March 11.?Dr. B. T. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant Industry of the department of agriculture, the foremost authority on tho subject In the country, says that South Carolina is tho best corn growing state in the union. So the doctor told Representative Johnson x short while ago. "Other states pro duce more corn than South Caroli na, it is true," says Mr. Johnson, "but what Duclui Qatloway meant was that in all the great corn contests the contestants in South Carolina pro duced more corn to the acre than those of any other state, not excepting the great corn states of the middle west." Mr. Johnson Is himself a student of corn, and he has got some good and useful points of late from the agricul tural department. He says it is bet ter in growing corn to select seeds in the locality in which the corn is grown. "Detter results can be secured by using our own corn, which is clima ti/.ed than could be gotten from seed sent from other localities," said be. 'The Minter corn Is a very fine prolific. The Baldwin corn, which is extensively grown In Spartanburg 1 county and probably in Union, is one j Of the best varieties 1 have ever seen." Senator Money declared in the sen ate yesterday that the southern sec tion of the country has really just be gun its career as an agricultural sec lion, and that be knew of lands which a few years ago were considered worthless which have recently been made to yield about $:!?"> an acre net planted in corn.
