Timmonsville, as in the past, is leading ;he other markets in high prices on tobacco. Sales are being held regularly every day at all three houses and the planters are highly elated over the fancy prices they are receiving for their primings-none of the bett sr grades having appeared. We give below a sale made at the Ban? ner Warehouse last week for Mr. E. E. Anderson on his first curing of lugs which had been nicely graded into three lots-ene of scrap and two tied: Eighty pounds of scrap brought 4.10: 205 pounds brought lOfo cents, and 50 pounds brought 18 cents. This is the best sale reported so far by any warehouse in South Carolina. Mr. Lea, who understands every detail of the warehouse business, delights in pushing fine tobacco. He is aided by a thoroughly competent force and is considered one among the best ware? housemen in the State.-Timmonsville Enterprise. Seventeen Hundred Miles In An Auto. Boston, July 27.-Alvan T.

K. McGowan of the Palmetto roller mills, while rid? ing OJ: an improvised "sboct-the chute" this afternoon, met with an accident which may terminate fatal? ly. Some children had erected this chr.te from tb.9side of a building with two skids and a four-wheel box to ride in. The wagon in which this boy was ricing jumped from its track, a distance of seven feet, to the ground, j The bey's head struck the ground and j he was rendered unconscious. Subse qaenly he went into convulsions and tho physicians pronounced in's suffer? ing due to concussion of the brain. Little Tope is entertained for his recovery. St. Louis, July 27.-Ail reports to the effect, that tho world's fair is in an incomplete state are false. With? out exception the main exhibit palla ces were infished before the day of opening, April :J0, and since then every S ;ate and foreign building and concession structures that -.vas not finished at that time has been com? pleted, with the single exception cf one smell building. Do tte average jurors really believe that there is such a crime as murder in this State? Shooting an unarmed man on the street without warning and from tb 3 side or rear is net a murder. That is filing in self-defense. Killing and dragging oif and hiding a Jew peddler for about, enough money to buy a p.?ir of shoes is not murder. Our Legislature should define murder, and let the people know whether it is possible to commit it or not.-Care lina Spartan. The Death Penalty. A littlij thing' sometimes results in death.

Have you ever been there? If not a visit will repay you for your trouble. It is in the extreme northwest of Sumter county and contains twelve hundred acres cleared land, half of which is river bottom and hundreds of acres uncleared nearly all cf which is swamp land. I.saw fine land there but a few feet above low water mark under cultivation, produc? ing from year to year the finest crops of grain. Every one knows that these swamp lands, having a soil of unlimited depth, have been reclaimed by means of huge dams, some of which run within thirty yards of the river. Some of the best land now under cultivation only a year or so ago was covered with water which by means of a large canal was carried away to the river. All of these canals or ditches which pass out through the dams are weil trunk? ed, each trunk having a gate to let water off. They never let in water from the river during a fresh or at any time because it imperils the dams. Mr. W. R. Gardner, the super? intendent, told me how on one occa? sion one of his bist and strongest dams was broken by ireh water, rais? ed into waves by heavy winds and beating against it. They never, if they can prevent it, allow fresh wa? ter to come in; the lands are plenty rich so as not to require it. Practi? cally all the swamp land can be put in a condition for cultivation, and I sup? pose will be in the course of time. "Why not now?" Because it is so ex? pensive, is a herculean task, and be? cause at present they have ali the land they need. In company with W. S. Thompson, one of our best farmers, your corres? pondent went to the "farm" last Sat? urday, expecting to see something fine in cotton, but not surpassing what we had left behind, . but as we wended our way through , the broad acres all in the finest condition, per? fectly clear of grass, Mr. T. remark? ed, voicing my feelings exactly, "I feel just as if had been doing noth? ing." We were well received by Mr. Gardner and Iiis kind wife, who show? ed us every attention we could desire, Mr. G. taking us on a drive through the farm. I never saw better devel oDed or better fruited cotton in my life. No doubt. Mr. Editor, ycu noticed in my writings about farming that I was a bit conceited. Yo do not now, it is all gone; that trip to the State Farm cured me. . Mr. Gardner, who is forty-three, and was reared in old Kershaw county, small of statute, with dark hair and eyes, is a practical farmer, who can in terest and instruct you. Under his management the Desaassure farm is a paying institution. Bad as last year was it paid to the State over and above all expenses SC,SCO, which amount would have been swelled considerably had a number of incidentals been con? sidered. Desaussnre is every whit the equal of thc upper farm in value, in appoint? ments, etc., etc. "Shall we keep Mr. Gardner there?" By all means; ho is the right man in the right place. I must quit, net before remarking that I saw the large-t heaps of clean wheat and oats, znd onions enough to season the coun? ty. Crops in and around the Peninsula, Hagood, etc. are ahead cf anything I have I seen elsewhere lately with one possible exception. Wc have some excellent farmers: besides those already mentioned in your columns we would name Clar? ence and Charley Jackson, yonns and full of energy, diaries Mitchel, W. S. Thomson, W. W. Mellctte and Wilder James. I do not chink cur community car. bo surpassed for upland cern, J. S. Jackson and others having as good as I over saw, and this toa in spite of the drought. Yes, we suffered from the drought, but not so badly as some communities : everything seems to have fully recovered now. I There is no sickness to speak of among us. John Harris, a man of color, a "free issue" was bitten, as was supposed by a moccasin. For the benefit (?) of others I givo his heroic treatment : a half pint spirits of turpentine, one joint tobacco and ali the nicotine of an old pipe taken inwardly. The theory is that when this meets the poison of the snake they will all come up together. Mr. A. E. Jackson went off the other day to Florence and brought back as his wife one of its mest charming girls in the person cf Miss Rosa Gilbert. Mr. Herbert Gilbert cf Florence is spending some rime with relatives in our community. Hagood.

In the fastest and most exciting game of the season Wednesday after? noon the Game Cock Lodge, K. of P., defeated a splendid aggregation ot' bail players from Manning and Sum? merton by a score of 5 to 2. An im? mense crowd witnessed the game, and cheered the numerous fine plays that were made, irrespective of the teams. But above all the din and confusion that is essential to the thorough en? joyment of a game and to the great pleasure of the spectators could be heard the lustry voices of the gallant Knights Shaw and George as they gave encouragement to their team by splendid "rooting." From the minute that Durant step? ped in tlie box for the locals, he in? spired confidence in the rest of the team, and caused the enthusiastic supporters of the Knights to wear a satisfied expression. His work was superb, and can best be judged by the detailed account below. Gillespie was fast and sure at short? stop, and made two very sensational catches of difficult chances. Cantey on second evoked cheers very often by his quick work, and accurate throw? ing. For Manning, Sublett pitched a good consistent game, giving but one free pass to first, and keeping the hits well scattered. DicksoD, the backstop, caught admirably, and made several good throws to second base. Cantey was very fast at short, and took every? thing that came his way. Iseman played a good field, and^was the only one of the visitors that could handle the stick with good results, he got two clear hits, and made one of the runs for Manning. Mr. Sanders from Hagood officiated as umpire, and his thoroughly impar? tial decisions pleased not only the players, but the crowd as #well. The game in detail was as follows: McLeod up for the visitors, fanned out, Brown ?it fly over shortstop, which Gillespie takes in by making a beautiful running catch ; Belser hit safe to left field for one base; Dickson retired the side by a fly to short. Gillespie got a free pass to first; Cantey hit sale to center field ; Gilles? pie went to second; Mulloy sawed; Durant, R., hit over first, and in a general mix-up which followed, caus? ed by Gillespie^ going to sleep on second, a double was made retiring the side. Appelt struck out ; Cantey got base on balls; Snhlett fanned; Iseman flied out?to second. Cuttino, Cantey, S., and Durant, E go out in one, two, three order. Horton gets to first, on Canteys error, and was advanced to third by a wild throw : McLeod hit a hot one to first, Horton out at home: Brown bunts to pitcher, cut at first ; Beis:er out on fly to second. Wilder, E., out on grounder to short: Wilder, J., fanned: Gillespie hit safe to center field ; Cantey put oue in left garden.* which scored Gilles? pie: Mulloy fanned. Dickson led off with a nice hit to left field for two bags: Appelt end Cantey fanned ; Sublett out ou grounder to second. Durant flied ont tc first: Cuttino hit safe for two bases; Cantey, S., gave the right fielder au easy chance, which he dropped, 8nd advanced Cut? tino to third ; Durant hit safe to cen? ter field, and on a wild throw to catcher the three men cn bases scored. Both Wilder boys failed to connect with the bail. Iseman Int safe through short, and stoic second: Horton fanned; McLeod hit to first and dies there: iseman reposed on third sack, cn Brown's bi#t to right field : Iseman scored ; Belser hit to right field bus was thrown out in his endeavor to convert his single into r. two bagger. In this innin;; no man on either side reached first: Iseman, Horton and McLeod all expire cn infield bits. Burnt, E., hits safe to r ? sr h r field: Wilder, E., was; thrown out at first after getting a clean bit to same place : Wilder, J. scored Durant on a hit through short but was caught stealing second ; Gillespie cut on fly to center field. Brown safe at first on Cauley's error; Belser out on fly to short; Dickson hit to left field advancing Brown one peg: Appelt hit ever second and Dickson died, but Brown scored; Can rey out cn fly to second.
