Dark Corner, Sept. 2.-We are 'having some more hot weather after 32ae cool spell during the first of the veek. Cotton is opening fast, and picking "3b commencing to be the order of the <flay now. It's getting to be pretty dry xrah us now. The water in our wells mud in Week's rnm pond te lower than St has been this year. I hear of a good deal of fever in Clarendon. Mr. W. W.

But she can get round Tight well yet, and still uses her old fashioned knitting needles. I will have to wait until the weath? er gets cooler to give a report of th?? origin of this Dark Corner. I agree with Mr. Manning-not the* dispensary as it is-but purge it. Tes, I say purge it and if it cannot he purged then kill it, but don't give ss high license and bar rooms for God's sake! REMBERT. Rembert, Sept 2.-About 10 o'clock today the large barn and stables of 1m S. L. Keels was discovered on -fire,.and in avery short time nearly every one in the neighborhood, both white and colored, came to her as? sistance. The fire originated in the Jjarn, but from what source no one Ss able now to tell; in a very short time the building was burned to the -?round. The fire soon got to the 32?w carriage house, and it was also -destroyed, and it was only through prompt help and faithful persever 3~mce that the large dwelling house ?mas saved. At one time fire was dis? covered on the roof, and everything -vas removed from the house, ausing many articles of furniture to be hroken. Mr. D. V. Keels' loss will be heavy. .There were about 300 bushels of corn In the barn, together with all the oats he made this year, and his fodder, ame mower, one hay press and all ."his farming implements. I could not learn if the houses and contents were insured. BRAUN. Braun, September 5.-Mr. and Xis. T. M. Bradley will leave to? morrow afternoon for Charleston * to spend several days.

Mrs. Charlie Jackson, of Horatio, is -ansiting her father, Mr. S. C. James. Mr. J. W. Weldon and Mr. A. K. Weldon spent a day last week at Wisacky on business. HAGOOD. Hagood, September 5.-The "bears" have caught it this year, the cotton along with the Russian bear, but the ?discomfiture of the former was due ?ot to Brown, Hayne & Sully, but to the farmer himself encouraged and helped by every other interest of our "Southland. But it some times hap? pens that good fortune turns to mis? fortune. The war of the producer is against greed and speculation and in .this "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." The mere thought of this .will make some fellow tired. They ?would fight one battle and have done -erith the war; they are easily dis? couraged and are quite ready to sur? render any advantage rather than prolong the fray. Do you know these same fellows never help, but are a dog, a burden, a \hindrance to any .enterprise, whose success is attained in spite of them. Yes, we farmers have been helped to a more signal victory than that the Japs achieved but they will prove themselves unworthy undeserving auch success, if they do not follow it up with other and greater. You may talk about Brown, Kayne & Sully and the Chicago bulls, but the greatest, the most formidable, the huge bull is the farmer himself, it 5s greatly feared just now that we will lose some of the advantages gained by farmers rushing their cotton on the market Let us wait till after the Asheville convention which, with all the facts before it as to the crop, etc, ought, among other things, to ?fix the price farmers should take for cotton, and that done then let every farmer stand by their action. My statement regarding the use of meal instead of seed has been criti? cised sharply and quite eminent au? thority has been quoted, Chancellor Johnston and others, but nc i with? standing I am on the right track. The commercial value of 200 pounds of meal, the amount usually put to an acre of cotton, is about eight and one fourth bushels of seed, which is so small an amount as to require a dis? tributor. There are several argu? ments in favor of the use of meal as against the use of seed, but time and space will not allow their discussion. Most of the people who went away to the mountains have returned, gen? erally benefitted. Oh! those wedding bells have chimed for more than one here this A. D., 1905. Cotton and corn here are short, but reports say this is more espec? ially the case in the upcountry. "Before you clear your moorings know where you are going," is a rule applies to the dispensary as well as the sailor. "Hagood." PINEWOOD PENCILINGS. Pinewood, Septemmber 4.-Dr. P. M. Salley spent Thursday last in Sum? ter. Mr. N. C. Stack left today for a visit to Orangeburg. One of the most attractive enter? tainments of the season was a re? ception given by the young men clerks complimentary to the young ladies. The hall was, beautifully lighted and decorated for the occa? sion. During the evening the guests were/*served with cream and cake with Iced drinks. Mrs. H. F. Stack returned Wed? nesday after spending a few days in Sumter. Mrs. P. M. Salley and children re? turned from* Smithville, Va., Satur? day. Mrs. R. C. Richardson, Sr., re? turned from Saluda last week. DURANTS. Durant September 4.-Miss Howie has returned home after a pleasant visit to friends here. The friends of the family attend? ed the funeral services pf Miss Ell oise Plowden at Brewingtqn on last Fri? day morning. Miss Marj" Witherspoon is home again after a stay of some time in Sumter with her cousin, Miss Bessie Ingram. The Durant school has opened to the delight of the children who are ready for work again. They have se? cured the services of Miss Maggie McFaddin, who had charge of th* school last year. Mr. J. M. Spann was here a day and night this week. Mr. Grier filled his pulpit at New Harmony church yesterday, after a holiday of several weeks. LYNCHBURG. Lynchburg, S. C., September 5. Significent of the rapid gathering of cotton and the rushing of it to the places where it is put in marketable shape, is the eternal and almost un? ceasing racket of Kilpatrick's machin? ery. Sometimes yes, nearly all the time, the whole mill yard is packed and jammed with wagons loaded with cotton, notwithstanding Mr. Kilpatrick is splendidly equipped for the work, having the latest improved gins and machinery and, so far, no accident or occasion for delay. But the cotton crop is short and hands plentiful. No complaint at the price the pickers charge-50 cents a hun? dred-as our farmers think it is fair, considering the price of cotton when placed on the market. The erection of a large brick store 130x110 on- the postoffice corner in this town, will take place by the 1st of October next, if the material can be gotten here by that time. Mr. T. N. Griffin will be the leading factor in this enterprise which will be oper? ated by a joint stock company. This will be, by far, the largest business ever conducted in this town. The Lynchburg Mercantile Com? pany's new store, is indeed attrac? tive, now that it is filled with such a well selected stock of goods. Our merchants have at last gotten their eyes fully opened, and mean without some calamity, to make this an up-to-date town. Our doctors are busy all the time, but have no very sick patients in town. The mumps caught up with old man John Matthews at last, and he is down in the mouth, but wears a broad face. The boys have, indeed, a rich joke on Herbert Hickson, but it's too long to tell this time. Prepare for it. Plummer McIntosh has several : shares in the new firm, and it's hard ! to tell what he'll do next, but we can guess. Dr. Tarrant, Demps Tallon, Rev. S. i O. Canty and R. A. Smith have all had trouble with their horses within the past three days; one got kicked and his buggy badly broken; one got knecked down; run over and his buggy smashed; one got pawed in the head and knocked down and the other got his buggy broken and nar? rowly escaped serious injury. Our dear old friend, Frank Potts, is pulling- rapidly and poor Elie is "in a hornet's nest." Old Mr. Luther McIntosh and Col. Rhame went to Bishopivlle yesterday. Old man Frank McIntosh says he feels a little better and he surely must, as he picked about three pounds of cotton today. PISGAH. Pisgah, Sept. 5.-August went out and September came in with a heat wave in keeping with what we have had all the summer. Farm work was almost suspended from pure heat. It is almost impossible tc worx when the weather registers in the nineties, and if there are any14doubting Thomases" they should go out and stay inthe sun all day. That will COE vi nee them better than anything here said. Cotton is opening real fast, but not like it did last year. Our best farmers say about two-thirds of a full crop will be made. If the cotton gamblers think they will get this crop fox a song, let them think so. Thank goodness the farmers don't now have to take off their hats for a favor from any one That prac? tice is now ancient history. Too much Southern money to let the yanks con? trol the cotton as they have done in the past. The crop will go on the market as long as it brings about its value, when the price falls below what it ought to be it will stay in the yards and houses as it did this year. Then we will see what will happen and I want to say right here that the farmers have found out that the banks are their best friends in this fight to get the worth of their cotton. It is amusing to see in some papers, that because Senator Manning agrees along the lines that Tilllman does about the dispensary, that he is a coatail swinger to Tillman. Long be? fore either expressed himself, I heard numerous men advocate the same thing. Improve the dispensary, or let it go. Certainly they are not coatail swingers to any man, no more than Tillman or Manning i>, but men who do their own thinking, and expresses it whether ii pleases any one or not. Men who are patriots often think along the same lines on great ques tions that affect our State. Ansel, has expressed himself for local opion. The majority ot the people, that I have talked with, waut the dispensary, but want it improved or kill it. If the prohibitionists and ex-barkeepers would work as hard* to enforce the dis pensary law as it should be, and not be continually fighting it, it would be better for the State at large. High li? cense or prohibition means free liquor aud smuggling, a state of affairs that some of ns don't want to see. People who drink are goiog to have it, law or no law, until the grace of God changes them to lead a sober life. I observe that the Sabbath is very much desecrated by those of whom we would expect better things. If people who are members of churches find more pleasure things of the world than in the work of their churches, they should withdraw from their churches and quit "running with the hare and barking with the hounds" a prac? tice that is quite common these days, and shows a want of manhood that calls forth the sympathy of men and women. If the ladies woula adopt the prac? tice of not wearing their hats in church, it would be more comfortable to them and certainly those who sit in the rear could see better. The destruction by fire of Mr. Ver? non Keels barn, stables and other out buildings last Saturday should be an object lesson to those who have val? uable buildings to insure them. A slight change of wind alone saved the dwelling house, otherwise all the buildings would have been swept by the fire fiend. Mr. Keels' numerous friends here sympathize with him in his loss. Miss Hallie Nelson opened her school at Pisagh this mouing. It will run nine months including the public term. Miss Emutral Cooley, of Darlington is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. L. Gillis. She has many friends here who are always glad to see her. Mrs. Anna Allen who has been vis? iting her daughter, Mrs. Entzminger at Blythewood has returned home. I SALEM. Salem, Sept. 5.-In repsonse to an invitation extended, a few of the con? gregation of Brick church assembled on last Wednesday. The church yard was beautifully cleaned by means of mowers, "cuffies" &c. Only a few ladies honored the oc? casion with there presence, but when they left the inner side of things com? pared most favorably, and if numbers be taken into consideration, surpassed the outisde work that was being done ander the personal supervision of that ever faithful deacon. Col. Jas. R Mnldrow, who is the pillow of this church and whose pleasure it is, re? gardless of time, and cost to himself to keep things in apple-pie order. This is one of thee best kept country churches in the county. These clean? ings are regularly done, which means light work at any time, and beautiful surronndings ali the time. Miss Lonla .Yarren who bas been on a visit to relatives here, retorned to her home at Tampa, Fla., today. Mr. Hamilton W. McKay, after spending a quiet vacation at home, left today to resume his studies at Davidson college, which opens on September 8th. There is a petition being gotten np and numerously signed for the opening of a new public road from below Pud? ding Swamp, to intersect the newly built causeway across Black River. If opened, it will put those who live in tbs little corne ir of the county with? in reach of the county seat. As it is now, some of them are mucb nearer the county seats of other counties than their own. The opening of this road, which is a continuation of the new road, built a few years ago, will no doubt mean much to the city of Sum? ter, and prove a great convenience to many taxpayers, who have to go around the globe at least once a year to see our worthy county treasurer, if for no other business. EDWARDS. Edwards, Sept. 5.-We had a very heavy rain on yesterday afternoon. Rev. J. B* Weidon and family of Salters, S. C., are visiting the form? er's parents here.

Columbia, September 5.-The week ending Monday, September 4th, began with very cool weather, but the warmth increased to above normal by its close, making the average tem? perature for the week about normal. The extremes were a maximum of 98 degrees at Blackville and Florence on September 1st and 2d, and a mini? mum of 50 degrees at Greenville on August 29th and 30th. The week was generally clear with increasing cloudiness during the last two days. The relative humidity was uniformly low. Over the greater portion of the State there was no rain during the week, and in places the ground is becoming dry and the need of moist? ure is indicated, especially in the coast truck districts; showers were general, though mostly light, over the western half of the State begin? ning on the night of the first and continuing to the close; there were also rains in the eastern tier of coun? ties with occasional heavy showers. On the whole, the weather was fa? vorable for general farm work, es? pecially for haying and saving fodder and for picking cotton. In localities where the soil has been too wet here? tofore, it dried sufficiently to per? mit gardening and plowing. Some oats have been sown in the central counties. Cotton continues to detonate on sandy lands owing to rust and ex? cessive shedding, so that practically the plants have ceased to grow or fruit and nearly ali the top crop has drop? ped off; on clay lands the conditions are better, but rust has appeared in places. On sandy lands cotton open? ed rapidly, and picking made rapid progress over the eastern and con? trai counties and will be general over the western ones during the coming week. On clay lands it is just begin? ning to openly freely. Caterpillars continue numerous on sea-island cot? ton. Tobacco curing is finished. Rice harvest is underway and some has been threshed. Peas and sweet po? tatoes are doing well. Pastures con? tinue good. Strawberry plants be? ing set out. Fall truck being planted extensively in the coast districts but the soil is too dry for favorable ger? mination. Hester's Cotton Report.

Bradstreet's Review. New York, Sept. 1.-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say : September opens with fall buying apparently at a maximum, marked activity in all lines of industry, lib? eral buying by railroads of rails and supplies, currency shipments to the country to move crops iucreasing and with confidence as to the outlook for trade previously noted strengthened by the successful issue of the Russo Japanese peace negotiations. These latter, jointly with the increased pressure of supplies of agricultural products on leading markets, have had a distinct effect upon many commodity values, the tendency being toward a lower lev*l in cereal?, cotton, live animals, potatoes and butter. It is to be noted, however, that home pro? ducts are strong and higher on the week. Large eastern centres report marked activity in all hues of cotton goods, and larger buying of clothing, shoes, millinery, lumber, building material and hardware. Southern trade advices are of a good tone, except in the quarantine sections and in parts of Texas. Business failures for tl e week end? ing August 31 number 161 against lb9 in 1904. The first bal^s of this year's cotton crop were sold in Spartanburg Friday. County Supervisor Gardner of Lan- I caster and the ccmmittee of Prohibi- ! tionists, who have been .engaged for j several days in comparing the names ; on the petitions for an election under the Brice law with the registration books, concluded the work on the j 30th. The signers numbered 1,0<?5, but j when the petitions were purged of. unregistered voters the number was re- ! duced to a figure between 650 and 700 I -DIore than enough, however, to1 comply with the law. M RICHLIND DISTILLERY. THIS OFFSPRING OF THE DIS? PENSARY COULD FURNISH BIG SENSATION. Who Owns the Stock and Who Profit? From the Big Business is the Question-No Probability of the Facts Are Leaking Out. Columbia, Sept. 4.-A matter which is puzzling the dispensary investigat? ing commission, as it has been puz? zling many people here and through? out the state for many months, is what is back of the scenes in the case of the Richland Distillery con? cern, which has been getting such a rapidly increasing business from the state dispensary, although there is much complaint about the quality of the goods. The company, which is capitalized at only $100,000, did a million dollars worth of business with the dispensary last year, and three of its directors, J. S. Farnum, the Charleston beer man; and Sam J. Lanahan, he of the Mixson bribery incident; and Mr. Bernheim of the whiskey house bearing his name managed to "cop out" a good busi? ness on the side for their outside houses. "What we want to know," said e. member of the commission to your correspondent, "is who is holding certain stock in trust and whom it is being held for we have not been able to get at this so f?-." The report has been current for some time that dispensary officials have stock in the concern, ,but no? body has ever been able to point to the man. If the commission estab? lishes at Sumter next week that dis? pensary officials are or have been holders of this stock a cracking sen? sation will be created, though the probability is not strong that such a showing will be made. Director Boy kin will go on the stand at his re? quest, but otherwise the Sumter in? vestigation is /expected to be con? fined to the sub-dispensaries. Tn the opinion of many people in position to gather information, there is no foundation for these suspicions. The president of the concern receives a salary of only $1,200 a year and the active manager gets less than $5,000. President Block said recent? ly the concern was not profitable and has never paid a dividend, that the profits all went out in salaries. State Chemist Burney who has been analyzing for the State dispensary since the G. M. I started, says it wih be useless for the commission to put him on the stand as he will be able to give no information of value, since his duties have been merely to exam? ine samples sent him for impurities and establish the proof. "No," he said in answer to a question "nobody has ever attempted to.bribe me either directly or indirectly. From the beginning I let these whiskey men know that I did not wish them to call on me, and they have let me alone.. "I know nothing about the quality of goods-I do not pretend to know anything about grading whiskey or wine. Experts should do the grading by taste. But this is an accomplish? ment it takes years of practice to perfect. There are wine tasters who have such delicately sensitive tastes as to be able to tell, not only the gen? eral quality of goods but to name the vintage, but these people are paid well, as are expert tea tasters, who are absolutely necessary to the tea merchants, and who by the way do not live long." McCaw. TREATY IS COMPLETED. Portsmouth, September 4.-The treaty of peace has been engrossed and is now ready for signing. The exact time the signatures will be at? tached has not been definitely fixed. The clerks worked all night engross? ing the document. The treaty con? sists of fifteen articles, ,with a lengthy preamble. It is estimated that there are 4,000 words in the document. * Extraordinary precautions are be? ing taken to prevent the text becom? ing public. It will be kept secret un? til it has been ratified by the re? spective governments. Tlie Treaty Signed. Portsmouth, Sept. 5.-The treaty of peace was signed at 3:47 by the plenipotentiaries of Japan and Rus? sia. Letter to R. I. Manning, Sumter, S. C. Dear Sir: We are in partnership . with it. Burt, X Y, has had its paint experience. Mr D. Brookins, contractor, bought 18 gallons Devoe for 3 houses; re? turned 6 gallons. , That shows what it's worth, so far as covering goes: a half more than common paint. About half the houses in Burt are painted Devoe; the other half will be, as soon as they need paint. We want your town same way, and will .serve it same way. Are you ready yourself? Yours truly, F. W. De Voe & Co. Durant Hdw. Co sell our paint. Ul ; -9-4d-9-6w
