, Big Naval Battle.
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,

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.

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 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. WES.

A called meeting of the Executiv<
Committee of the Williamsburg Coun
ty Fair association was held hen

to the better advertising of the ap
proaching fair and the creation o
greater interests were discussed. I
was the unanimous opinion of thi

should be made to get Hon E .
Watson and Hon John L McLaurii
for at least a two days campaigi
over the county, making talks in thi
interest of agricultural affairs an<
getting the people of the count;
aroused. September 10 and 11 wen
suggested as the dates for this can
vass, and a tentative itinerary wa
arranged as follows for these lead
ers in agricultural matters of thi
state:

Hemingway, " '* 3:30 p. m
Johnsonville, *' " 8:00 p. m

Greelyville, " 3:30 p. m
Certain ones in the various com
mittees will be called upon to mak*
the necessary local arrangements fo
these meetings; to stir up the peopl
and get them out. Success of ou
county Fair depends entirely upoi
the interest taken by the men an*
women of the county.

Re-elected Mayor of Klngstree
Over P S Courtney.
The municipal election passed off
1 quietly here Tuesday, apparently
little interest being manifested by
either the candidates themselves or
their friends. There were 191 signatures
on the new club roll of which
; 89 per cent voted as follows:
FOR MAYOR.
B1P S Courtney 37
I W R Scott 137
f FOR ALDERMAN.
11T E Arrowsmith , 56

j Dr R C McCabe 110
a S B McGill 148
a W K Mcintosh Ill
e H A Miller ....126
j L D Rodgers 121
y W F Tolley 119
e It will be seen from the above
- that Messrs Harry Britton, S B Mcs
Gill, H A Miller, L D Rodgers, W F
Tolley and W K Mcintosh were
e chosen as Aldermen, they being the
six candidates receiving the highest
number of votes. Mr W H Carr
had no opposition for Public Works
Commissioner and was therefore
unanimously elected.
>- FIVE BALES ON ONE ACRE?
e
r Lexington Man Expected to
e Break His Own Record.
r Lexington, August 22:?John M
n Caughman, of this town, who. it is
^ believed, broke the world's record
la3t year, when he grew and gathered
something over four bales of cotton
on one acre, expects to beat last
e year's yield by at least half a bale.
-) The cotton is planted on the same
e ground as last year, within 100
h yards of Main street, in the town of
r Lexington, and those who watched
g the patch last year from the time it
^ was planted until the last lock had
been picked confidently believe that
, Mr Caughman will break his own
g record. 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?
