Logan Noces. LOGANS, S. C.. Feb S, 1S9*>. Farmers in this s^c-icn ?re greatly hf ii ind in their work. Liu-.r plow iou has bee? done ss yet. On accouni ur' so much cold and wet weather it has been impossible for the farmers to do anything nt all, and 1 w?l tell you, Mr. Editor, the farmers are ?ll disheart? ened and disgusted about ?be low price of cotton, and well they may be, for tbe writer don't see how the farmers are going to sub eiton cotton at 5 cests and pay a three dollar poll tax. Why we can't pay one dollar, much less three dollars. Most of oar farmers are going to devote their time to something of more benefit to them than cotton. Tobacco and sugar cane will be abundantly raised this year io this community. At the resedence of Mr. R A. Poole, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, on last Wednes? day, February 6th instant, by Rev. John T. Harton, Mr. R. T. W. Poole and Miss Re? becca Ard were joined together in holy marriage. The attendants were Mr. J. H. Nesbitt with Miss Julia Poole, and Mr. H. A. Poole with Miss Sarah L. Logan. The general health of this community is very good. HAPPT J?KB. Wedgefield Letter. WEDGEFIELD, Feb. 12th, 1895. The largest oat crop ever known perhaps, was planted this season, and our farmers were very joyous over them till the recent cold, which it is feared has killed entirely all those except that which was planted very early, and they are very much injured. This is a heavy blow to the community, and one that kr makes ns feel very blue, still we are cot so bad off, except for old debts, for almost all have enough corn to run "bern, have killed more meat than usual, and have a fine pros? pect for meat and lard another season. A comber of our farmers are anxious to plant some tobacco. The amount each one will plant will range from one to ten acres. A serious draw-back to tobacco is the barns ^ which require ready cash, and which the ones who would plant the tobacco, principally the small farmers, cannot get. Times seem equally hard with all classes. Merchants are getting all the corn, and more than they want, at 40 cen vis in trade. Negroes are forced to sell at any price to get some? thing to exist on. Labor is abundant at a lower price than was ever known. * The severe winter has caused much more suffering than there would have otherwise been from cotton clothing and little fat producing food. Messrs. F. E. Thomas nnd A. E. Aycock, have been appointed school trust?es in the places ot Messrs. Jno C. Singleton and Peter Mellen, who resigned after asor long years of useful service.

How a Sad Negro Escaped From Deputy Sherri Gaillard. [From the Daily Item, Feb. 7.] In the rcond of the city yesterday the writer stopped at the Sheriff's office and made inquiry of tbe accommodating Deputy Sheriff, Mr. J. E. Gaillard, if there was any news for Thc Item. He said not, everything was quiet, very quiet, indeed. Yesterday afternoon, however, wben it was too late to get any? thing io .the paper the reporter got informa? tion of a very excellent bit of news that bad slipped Mr. Gaillard's memorv. A reminder, however, wus all that be needed to recall the entire story to bis mind, ?nd he gave it all away for the public benefit, like the obliging public officer it is. On Tuesday Mr. Gaillard went out in the Concord neighborhood to airest one William Gavins, colored, who has the reputation of being a bad o?gro.* Gavins was wanted for bog stealing or some such infringement of the law, and Mr. Gaillard was determined to bring bim back. So when he reached the . vicinity where Gavins lived be secured tbe assistance of Messrs. Jim Bruuson and Boyd Tates to go wi tb bim as a posse. Gavins was found i n a field wi th. an old Spring field rifle iu his hands, which he brought to a ready ?ben Mr. Gaillard told him to con T sider himself Hinder arrest. Gavins asked what he was to be arrested for, but Mr. Gail lard bad him covered with bis pistol and Mr. Bronson with a double barrel shotgun. They both odrered bim to drop the rifle. After a little hesitation he obeyed, dropping the rifle at bis feet; but as Mr. Gaillard approached him be made a grab-for the rifle. Mr. Gail lard seized Gavins by the coat collar and put bis foot on the rifle, thus preventing bim from obtaining the weapon. The prisoner jerked loose from Mr. Gaillard and ran for tbe woods at thc top of his speed. Both Mr. Brunson and Mr. Gaillard fired at him, but the pris? oner did Bot slaken his speed in the slightest, and apparently made a safe escape. Unfortunately fdr him, however, he went in the direction of Mr. R. C. Branding's house, where Mr. Gaillard had stopped a few min? utes before, and as he ran around the stable be was captured. It was then found that bis back bad been well peppered with bird shot from Mr. Brunson's gun, but be was other? wise unhurt. When Mr. Gaillard and bis posse returned to Mr. Banding's they found the prisoner, and after band-cuffing him they set out for town. But Mr. Gaillard troubles were not ended by any means. Nor did Gavins belie his reparation for being a bad negro. Just this side of Mr. Reames' place Gavins jump? ed from the buggy, band-cuffed as be was, and made for tbe swamp. Mr. Gaillard fired at bim and jumped from the boggy in pur? suit. The negro out ran bim, however, and was soon lost to sight in the thick under? growth of tbe swamp. A diligent search was made for the fugitive, but the chase had to be given up. Last nigh*. Mr. Gaillard searched the en? tire country for the fugetive, but he could not be found, lt was learned, however, that Gavins had succeeded in gelling rid of the hand-cuffs and is at large somewhere ia the Concord country. Mr. Gaillard showed great forebearence in not shooting Gavins wheo he presented the rifle at him, and it is not surprising, when subsequent developments are taken into con? sideration, that be rather regrets that he did not shoot the negro a; tbe start. No trace bas yet becu found of Gavins who escaped from Deputy Sheriff Gailliard. He probably left the country by the shortest route as soon as he got rid of the handcuffs.

ROYALTY IN DISGUISE. A Real Prince Said to Be in the Carolinas. Under this heading a contemporary states that "for mor tbs it has been known almost to a certainty that a prominent prince of Europe is now in America in disguise and is canvassing for books that he may in this manner learn more of the real life of the American people. Twice he has beeo inden ti?ed in the East and each time changed his disguise and his field of action, for to be known would entirely defeat the object of his visit. A reporter yesterday accidentally fell upon some data which leads to the con? clusion that this same prince is now selling books in the Carolinas." It is a well-known fact that we sometimes harbor angels unawares. This prince may be with us now in the garb of a book canvasser, selliDg the new up-to-date edition Britannica for the Columbia State- who knows?

The Tucker family of Todd county, Kentucky, is no small potato affair.

A collection of 220 bjman brains, carefully prepared and classified by Dr. Luys during his twenty years' service at the Salpetriere and Charte hospitals, has been recently presented by him to the Paris faculty of medicine for the Dupuytren museum. The collection is unique ; it contains all forms of mental disease, madness and idiocy, and in? cludes the only preserved brain of a hynotized subject in existence. Alexandre Dumas possesses a keen business sense that is not ioberited. At least, his father did not have it. A case in point was bis sale of the manuscript of ''L'Affaire Clemenceau,'7 one of bis j first oovels. A publisher offered him ? ?100 for it, but, rather thao sell the . book at that price, Dumas pigeonholed ; it, and eventually realized $0,000 from jit. The geography of to-day is full of ! errors, says the Boston Transcript. The school children of the next gene? ration will scarcely hear of Mount St. j Elias which bas hitherto been accepted i as the highest mountain on this conti ' nent. That error was exploded by recent surveys. The African Lake Nyanza, which was imagined to be : larger than Lake Superior, and alto gether the biggest lake in the world, has been reduced by fresh discovery to a comparatively small size. One of the funniest delusions was that entertained by early explorers who, for a hundred years after Columbus, believed that North America was a group of islands, through which it was possible to get to China. For two centuries after the discovery of America navigators were bent on getting through the continent OD boats. When they found the great lakes they were ?-ure that North America was an archipelago. The mirage can be seen nearly every day io the plains of Lower Egypt, and also to a limited extent in the plains of Hungary, and Southern France, says Chambers' Journal Now and then something of tbe kind cao be seen io summer by stooping down and looking along our sandy coast, such as More? cambe bay and the coast of Devonshire, or over the Fen district, at that seasoo dried up by the summer heat. We must remember that thc mirage of the desert creates nothing, but merely in? verts bodies that actually exist a little dists'jce off ; though in theSabare, sky? light rays descending are beot upward by the hot air next the sand, aDd the eye is actually deluded by an impres? sion resembling the reflection of sky? light from water, the illusion being increased by the flickering due to con? vection currents, suggesting the effects of a breeze ou the water. Many of the descriptions given of the mirage are "travelers' tales5' io the uncomplimen? tary sense. One of the most absurdly extravagant examples of this is the fol? lowing. '"This treacherous phenome? non delude? the traveler's eye with a regular succession of beautiful lakes and shady avenues, and then, agaiu, with a:i expause of waving gra^s around picturesque villa : here is presented a ffrovaji towering trees ; there a Sock f m??'ing cattle."
