Davenport has given The Herald and News a boll of lintless cot ton seed. This ball of cotton had a very small quantity of the lint but none of it fastened to the seed. Mr. Davenport says that he found a boll in his field last year without any lint on the seed and took these seed and planted them, and this year there is less lint than last year. He thinks these seed by another year will not pro duce any lint at all. But the question is how would you gather these seed. WXhen the boll opens they all fall to the ground. Without the lint there is nothing to hold the seed in the holl. We are giving satisfaction in net weight of lint. Our gins fairly skin the seed at tf Oil Mill Ginnery. "Oh! where did you get that hat?" Blalock's, of course. New shapes and choice colors exclusively. tf. Wanted ! To gin your cotton, can do it in 1.5 minutes without you touching it. At tf Oil Mill Ginnery. An E~scaped Convict. Fed Kempson, who was convicted at the last term of the Le:;ington Court and sentenced to the penitentiary, has escaped, so The Herald and News was 3informed by a gentleman who was in TNewberry on Tue"day and .iad just re turned from Lexington. This gentle man also told of a horrible act of bru tality committed by this negro on last Saturday. It seems that the charge of which he wais convicted was assault and battery sand that there was a woman in it. It seems, also, as the story goes, that as soon as Kemnpson got ~ ose he went to -this woman's house, who .'es on Mr. J. D. Lowman's place in Lexington (County, and on Saturday morning took the womasn from her home to a spring niear by and tied her fast to a tree, while he secured a flint rock and began whetting a case knife. While he wvas engaged in this past time he gave the woman the choice of having her throat cat or her ears chopped off near the head. She of course chose the latter. Kempson then with his case knife, more like a saw than a knife, began his cruel work and after considerable saw ing succeeded in severing both ears from the head. He then untied her from the tree arid wvent on his way. Dr. Lee attended the woman. The Herald and Newvs ratber doubted the truth of this story, but the gentle man who gave the information to us sav that it is correct, that he was just from Lexington and wvhile he did not see the womau the gentleman who told him did. Dearness Can't be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to euro deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eucachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when is en ti rely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken onit and this tube restored to its normal cond-tiou, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an ,inflamed confdition of the mucous sur n e will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness teaused by earrh) that we cannot cure by taking Hair's Catasrrb Cure.

An Harmonious and Quiet Meeting-Well Attended-What Was Done. The regular quarterly meeting of the Newberry County Alliance was held in the Courthouse at Newberry on Tues day. There was a good attendance and the session last~1 from I a. in to about 4 p. in. Th was nothing given out for publication of especial public interest. The imeetiug was harmonious and the best of good-will prevailed. Rev. J. A. Sligh, the county presi dent, presided. District Lecturer J. L. Keitt and County Lecturer Pope were both in attendanc(. The following is the roll of delegates and the Alliances they represented. In addition to these there were a numher of Alliancewen present but not as delegates. The niem bers, as a rule, left for their homes im mediately after the adjournment: St. Luke's-J. S. Hair, N. R. Lester, J. W. C. Taylor, D. P. Hawkins. Jolly Street-Berry Livingston, G. M.

The following Sub-alliance Lecturers were also present-R. T. C. Hunter, J. L. Keitt, J. C. Adams, A. H. Miller, W. E. Lake, L. P. Miller, Jno. N. Feagle, S. N. Kibler, L. L. Dominick. There were also present Secretary C. F. Boyd, Treasurer Benjamin Halfacre, Chaplain J. Epting, and Assistant Lee turer J. T. Duncan. The Executive Committee-R. T. C. Hnter, L. P. Miller and H. C.Wilson, were also present. The committee on arbitration and good of the order, consisting of Capt. H. H. Folk, Mr. T. W. Keitt and Dr. W. E. Lake, was also in attendance. A. resolution was adopted requesting al& Alliancemen to subscribe for the National Economist as the only means of informing themselves on Alliance matters. The arbitration committee reported that the difficulty between the two fations of the Trinity Alliance had been amicably adjusted. The old alli arce had paid up its dues and been reinstated, and was represented in the meeting by Mr. W. A. Reid. The following resolution, prepared by Lecturer S. Pope, was adopted: Resolved, That the Newberry Coun ty Alliance endorses the course of Presi dent J. Wrn. Stokes, in defending the principles and demands of the order, and bids him God speed in the good work. A good portion of the time was taken up in hearing the report of the County Lecturer on the result and work of the recent campaign in the county. Upon the whole this report was encouraging and the work was satisfactory. Only at two of the appointments was there any drawback. At Mt. Tabor, the first meeting held, the lecturer said that they were given a very cordial recep tion and everything moved smoothly until late in the afternoon, after the' speaking had been concludled, when brother S~cott poured hot shot into the speakers and rather threw a damper over what was said. At Bush River the meeting was rather informal, there being no one there to introduce the lecturers and no accommodations provided. At the other appointments there was nothing to mar the harmony nor counteract the influence of the lecturers, and every thing moved on smoothly. The Liberty Hall matter came up naturally by the inquiry if that Sub alliance had obeyed the resolution adopted by the last County Alliance, asking it to rescind certain resolutions passed I yit, all of which has been pub lished heretofore. This brought from Mr. Jno. WV. Scott, a delegate from Liberty Hall, a statemient to the effect that Liberty Hall had not rescinded the resolutions in question. He re viewed the whole caoe, including the action of the County Alliance and the Liberty Hall Sub-Alliance. It was all considered in a friendly way and the matter, on resolution, was referred to the Commnittee on Arbitra tion and the Good of the Order, and no doubt will all be settled peacefully and harmoniously. The arbitration committee a.nd a committee from Lib erty Hall will meet to adjust the mat ter at an early date. The trouble seems to be now, not that Liberty .Hall re fused to endorse the Oeala platform, or at least some portions of it, but because,. as an Alliance, it endorsed the Demo cratic party, that being considered cn trary to the constitution of the co-der which forbids having anything to do with partizan politics, as an alliance, but jp mnits the members to belong to whatever political party they choose. A meeting of Warehouse trustees was held after the adjournment of the Alli ance but nothing is given out for pub lication. The sub-lecturers wvill meet the dis trict and county lecturers at Newber;y nn the 24th instant, at 11 a. mn. Some Big Values in our "Job Di partmen t. tf. WooNTEN & MCWVHIRTER. LEMON ELIXIR.

A scribe for The Herald and News happened in the neighborhood of the city hall Tuesday morning just in time to be present at a fild day, so to speak, in the police court. There were sev eral cases up and the crowd present in dicated that something morn! than routine was to come on. Mayor Goggans held the scales of justice, and it did not take long for him to weigh out to eaeb offender his ur her portion. "Pearl Buzbardt, Minnie Buzhardt, Ira Simkins and John Young, drunk, disorderly and fighting'' was read out by Clerk Fair. They were ordered to stand up and then to sit down, and the evidence was soon taken. The scene of the disturbance was at the flying trapeze on Monday night. Mayor Goggans threw out a warning to Min nie and Pearl that they were proper subjects to answe.- to the law against vagrants and then proceeded to impose a fine of $10 or 15 days on each in the present case. He expressed some syni- ( pathy with Ira and then gave him and John $2 or 4 days each. They paid up. Theo. Spehl and Louis Crede fight ing, was next read. Very little testi money in this case except that the two men had a fight in Crede's bakery. Speh1 $ and Crede $2 was the fine in each case. They paid. There was another case which was dismissed for failure of the prosecutor to appear. Gratifying to all. The high position attained and the universal acceptance and approval of the pleasant'liquid fruit remedy Syrup of Figs, as the most excellent laxative known, illustrate the value of the qua lities on which its success is baqed and are abundantly gratifying to the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company. Teachers' Association. The County Teachers' Association met at the Graded School building on Saturday, 10 inst. Neither the presi dent nor vice-president being present, Mr. Frank Evans was called to the chair. The result of the election of officers for the coming year was as follows: President, Frank Evans; 1st Vicc-Presi dent, Arthur Kibler; 2nd Vice-Presi dent, T. W. Keitt; Secretary and Treas urer, Miss Fannie Baxter; Executive Committee, Arthur Kibler, Mrs. J. A. Long and W. A. Counts. T. W. Keitt was chosen editor of the Teachers' col umn in The Herald and News. After the election had been finished, the regular programme for the .day was taken up. Mr. Evans, of the Graded Schools, presented in an earnest and practical way his methods of teaching geogra phy. His ideas were suggestive, and can easily be put into practice by a little thought and preparation on the part of the teacher. Mrs. J. A. Long read a paper on the way to teach spelling. Mrs. Long having given the subject thought was prepared to give the Association some valuable hints as to the best way to use the spelling book. Her paper was lis tened to with interest by the teachers. After the discussion of this subject and the preceding one, the association ad journed to meet at Newberry on 2nd Saturday in November, at 11 a. m. Two of those appointed to read pa pers were absent, but we feel sure that they had sufficient excuse, or they would have been present. The first association of the year was an encouraging one, and we expect better results this year than ever be fore. A. Vaughanville Notes.
