mer. Four ballots were taken j.
in joint assembly on Friday, t
making a total of seventeen in t
all. On the last ballot Mr ..
y

more than the requisite number. g
^ The most formidable oppo- U
nent of Mr Gary was Hon. LG ^
Walker of Georgetown, who on c
Kiiinf- r#?rpivf>d as manv as v
, L
34 votes. For Mr Walker the c
Williamsburg' delegatioa voted
solidly, first, last and all the c
time. a
Mr Gary is a member of the t
bar of Abbeville and is consid- t
ered a very able lawyer. He is ^

More About Corn Culture.
Editor County Record:?It
was my intention to have offered
some criticisms and com- t
menis m your iasi issue auuvui ^
the suggestion by Mr James of i
applying boiling water to seed s
-corn, but pressure of other dut- y
ies would not permit. g
The practise of testing seed t
ft of various kinds with boiling J
water has been resorteu to for ^
various purposes; in the case of ^
- -
W~ oat seed, tor tne prevention ui a
rust, smuts, etc, in the case of s
poiseley and other hard coated ^
seeds, for hastening1 germination c
i -! etc. I do not know that statis- 4
^^t^as are available from any spe- j
\ific tests of this procedure, but
it is safe to assume that germination
in the case of corn would 5
Ibe hastened as with other hard a
seeds, partly from softening the c
hard parts and partly from the j
partial conversion of the starch 5
into sugar which is in a form for (
immediate use by the baby a
plant. A vast amount of mela- j
balie or infra-chemical energy C
is needed to bring abjut this e

so short time, nevertheless,

hat it is perhaps best to stick
o what you have and do what
ou can with that.
More can be done with the
oil and no time should be lost,
^he very first consideration is
Irainage. This applies to new
>r old land alike and must not
>e neglected. This means, of
ourse, under drainage, by caplarity
down to open water
:onrses at suitable intervals
ibout two to three feet beneath
he surface. This complete |
hroughly disk the the soil with
lisc-plow, roll, and harrow with
lisc or cutaway-harrow, at the
ame time incorporating all of
he humus, (stable-manure,
rash, or cotton seed) available,
jay out and plant in cotton this

Keep soil throughly loose durng
entire summer by frequent
shallow cultivations and in the
iarly fall at last sweeping sow
:rimson clover at rate of 25 or
10 pounds. This clover should
nake good stand and growth.
If so, allow to grow and about
;wo weeks before planting the
jrize crop I hope to tell you
vhatelse to do.
Hoping you success in your

CHARGED WITH DASTARDLY CRIME.
ieorge Tillen Awaits Trial?Accused
of Assault on Twelve Year Old Girl.
A gentleman from Lake City
:his morning gave the Times the
ollowing information regarding
:he threatened trouble there Saturday
night.
Hp savs that fieorce Tilton. a
white man was arrested on a
varrant charging fiim with an
ittempted criminal assault upon
i little white girl by the name
)f Miles about four miles from
Lake City. The attempt is alleged
to have taken place about
three weeks ago. but had been
tept quiet until this man was
arrested Saturday afternoon. It
s said that a gentleman passing
along the road heard cries in
the Miles house and upon investigation
found that a man
was therein attempting to assault
the little girl, only about
12 years old. As soon as this
gentleman appeared the man
who is said to have been Tilton,
escaped and bad not been seen
until Saturday when he went to
Lake City on business. He was
arrested on a warrant sworn
out before Magistrate J H V
Gaskins. There was some talk
of lynching and Tilton was hurriedly
sent to the jail in Kingstree
on train No 89, which pass
ed there shortly after the arrest.
The affair is quite a serious
one and will likely go hard with
Tilton should the allegations
prove trfe, Tilton is about 35
year9 old and married. The little
girl in her effort to free herself
was badly scratched and
when rescued was in an almost
hysterical condition. It is understood
that her condition is
improved though now bad.
The foregoing account of a
very sensastional affair is clipped
from the Florence Times.
What reliable information we
have been able to gather about
tVio matr^r is yprv meaner. It is
a fact, however, that George Til
ton is in jail here charged witt
a crime so horrible that one car
scarcely believe such things
could occur in a civilized couu
try.

Splendid Attraction to Holjd the Boards

Mr P II IS toll takes extreme '
pleasure in announcing to the
anusement seeking1 public that
on Thursday evening, March 19,
the doors of the new opera r \

the public.
It is but natural on an occasion
of this kind, that of the opening
of a new and dainty thea*
tre, it was desired to secure the
very highest class attraction
that was procurable. Mr Stoll
had his pick of countless attraction,
some of them of a higher
standard of excellence than is
usually to be found in this section,
but when he found that it
would be possible to secure the

widely known weggar rrince
Opera Company lie at once clos- j
ed a contract with this company,
and feels gratified to think 1
he can afford an attraction that
stands without an equal in the
light opera world. This company
has appeared in nearly every
city of any importance in the
United States and has been on
the road for ten seasons so that
a delightful and charming evening
is assured, and it could not
be otherwise with this excellent
rnmnanv of noted singers, com
edians, dancers and the chorus
oi pretty girls who art attracting
considerable attention in
nearby cities.
