The naval battle between German and Russian warships in the Gulf of Riga has ended in the German fleet withdrawing, after having lost the i battle cruiser Moltke, of the dreadnought type, three other cruisers m and seven torpedo boats, according to a statement accredited to the ( president of the Russian duma. This is the latest information concerning the German naval attack, * * 1 12 ?UU unaertaKen in co-operauuu wuu iauu operations in Courland and especially against Riga. The significance of the German withdrawal is not I brought out in the Petrograd dis% patch and no mention is made in it of Russian losses. A German report Saturday announced that the Russians had lost three small warships. The Moltke was one of the larger German war vessels, carrying 1,107 men in times of peace. The types of the other cruisers said to have been sent to the bottom are not mentioned. SP imense Stock o celebrated Lisk Four-Coat housands of pieces of Enarr I at reduced prices.

Benson Budget. Benson, August 24:?The corn :rop yield will be far greater in this section than was expected in the ?arly spring and the cotton crop will be fairly good. Yet the only farm product .which the average Parmer can boast of is the peavine j hay crop which now presents a beautiful and luxurious growth. From the appearance of the vines the sweet potato crop will be good.! We have noticed very few gardens 3f Irish potatoes, nor have we seen, many fall turnip patches in this im- j mediate section, notwithstanding the I known fact that these food proiucts with fresh pork and other things go to make up some delightful winter dinners in any of jur homes.

Mr and Mrs ? L Morgan and little daughter were worshipers at Cedar Grove Sunday afternoon. Miss Fredie Haddock of Nesmith is a visitor at Mr T A McCrea's home. Mr J Hugh Tisdale is off on a visit, but, as is characteristic of bachelors, nobody knows the whys and wherefores of his trip. Miss Grace Haddock, of this place, is spending some time in Kingstree with friends. Master Mot Tyler, while playing, got his foot severely cut with a piece of glass and has been hopping on a crutch for some little time. The wound is improving. Mr Billie McCullough of Nesmith passed through our section Tuesday on his way to Kingstree, where he exDects to sell his tobacco. It is a long way to Kingstree, but he thinks the price will compensate for the trouble. Cotton is opening rapidly and ere long the sound of the whistle and the buzz of the gin saw will" be the signal of another busy season among the farmers, scarcely allowing time for a long breath between tobacco selling and cotcon harvesting and marketing.

In fact, some who have r seen the field this year declare that a the champion will make five bales "f this year. It is said that the stalks now contain upwards of 375 bolls, ^ well developed, and the fruiting is not nearly complete. It is unques^ t-i? il - n i. ?J g uonaoiy ine iiuest iieiu ui tunuu r ever seen in Lexington county. It g might be of interest to state that when Mr Caughman came into posj session of the land about five years ago it would not "sprout a cow f I*8-" o At its hearing Tuesday the coroner's jury investigating the lynching 8 of Leo M Frank by a Georgia mob '? rendered a verdict declaring that Frank came to his death at the hands of unknown parties. This will most l" likely settle the matter and the lawd abiding element of that State will d simply have to abide by it. If Frank was guilty hanging was too good for him, but the great question still I )- is and perhaps always will be, was this man guilty? V E ! 3 at Reduced Pri< splayed a few pieces, then v >u to buy.
