"Jar which as much credit is due to the
lK>ard of trustees as is to the efficient
teachers. The school children seem
<e? delighted to meet their teachers

" 3t -was a pleasant sight to see the lit

tfceir teachers on their arrival. Only
?ne sad incident associated with his
school, since the close of last term oe
marred, and that is the death of one
of the faithful and attentive trustees,
Xr. John P. Hawkins. To' him and
Col. J. A. Rhame, the chairman of

< PISGAH.
Pisgah, September 28.-The cotton
crop is rapidly opening and being
gathered. By the middle of October
there will be none in this section to
pick except scattering bolls. - Fifty
cents per hundred is the standard
price and the pickers gather it fast.
Some people are only giving 40 cents
Mnd their cotton is not picked. The
crop is much lighter than we ex?
pected some time ago. The pea crop
is light. Tell Dry Joe the reason
peas are not bearing is on account of
too much rain-they have gone to
vines. A moderately dry year for a
pea crop. They make from the air
and heavy dews.
I have been waiting for the history
of the "Dark Corner" and D. J. must
narry and give it to us.

DARK CORNER.
Dark Comer, Sept 30.-We are
getting pretty dry. Farmers are hav?

SUMMERTON.
Summerton, October 2.-When it
was first mentioned that Summerton
would have a special week for its
business houses and the people around
here to come and enjoy themselves
lots of folks thought it was all an
air bubble. That same eagerness to
succeed which has made the progress
already evidenced here will make this
a W2ek never to be forgotten.
The merchants and townspeople
generally are ail hand in hand in this
great "Week of Bargains" and it is
going to be a howling success. Every?
body for miles and miles around is
coming and they are going to have
their friends and relatives meet them
here. Everybody who comes is goin^
to have a good time. It will be a reg?
ular gala week.
Crops are good around here and
with the good prices in market, for?
tune smiles on everybody and good
cheer and hearty fellowship prevails
on every side. The merchants expect
immense crowds here during the week
of October 16 to 21 and have laid in
unusually good stocks. Xever in the
history of South Carolina merchan?
dising will prices be so inviting. Ev?
ery store has its full share of bargains
and things are ready to give every?
body a good time and plenty of good
bargains.
A continued progressiveness and
onward march theme rings true and
loud right now. Everything is mov
ing along in great shape with the
"Week of Bargains" as a grand cli?
max. It will be the biggest week ever
known here. People from all about
have written and will be here to set
the town, to see their friends and rel?
atives and to help with the merry?
making.
Attorney General U. X. Gunter, Jr.,
who was reported to be sufficiently
recovered to resume the duties of his

lapse and is still at the home of his
father. Capt. U. X. Gunter, of Bates
burg.
A bald eagle, measuring five and
one-half feet from tip to tip of the
wings, was killed yesterday in Valis
burg by Felix and Edwin Ritters,
aged resoectively 12 and 13 years,
says a Xewark, X. J., special. The
boys were crossing the field with
their il? >g a short distance from their
home, when the eagle swooped down
on tlic >]n-? and attempted to carry ?t
off; Edwin ran t-? the rescue and
seix<<! the eagle by the neck. Tin.
big bird fought desperately, tearing
the lad's clothing int ? tatters with
its talons, but he held it fast until his
brother killed it with a base ball bat.
TILE BENNETTS VILE VIEW.
Trustees of Presbyterian College In?
formed That No Branch College
Is Wanted.
Bennettsvlile, October 1.-The peo?
ple of Bennettsviiie are naturally dis?
appointed at not getting the Presby?
terian college, after offering so much
money and such fine prospects for the
future of the college. Mrs. Beckwith
received the news here Friday night,
and expressed \leep disappointment
at the action of the board. She and
the whole citizenship of the town look
with disfavor upon the proposition to
establish a branch college at Ben
nettsvile, under the management of
the synod. They regard it as an ef?
fort to try and get our money and
Mrs. Beckwith's support without
giving us anything in return. We
made our offer in good faith for the
college to be moved from Clinton to
this place, where it would have the
undivided support of the whole de?
nomination of the State, the proceeds
of the sale of the property at Clinton
and all of the endowment that the
synod could raise. Nothing less wid
be accepted by Bennettsviiie. The
subscribers to the fund offer?
ed are unanimous in asserting that
they will not give a cent for a sub?
sidiary or even a co-ordinate college,
under the management of a rival in?
stitution.
Our people believe that there is not
room in South Carolina for two male
colleges, supported and managed by
the Presbyterian synod. One or both
would be neglected, and would have
the struggle for existence that Clinton
has already experienced. It would be
unfair to Clinton, after accepting her
proposition and money, to build a
rival college in the State.
Before leaving here for Baltimore
yesterday morning, Mrs. Beckwith
said that she had rather endow a non?
sectarian college in Bennettsviiie than
to put her money into an institution
which would have only the hali
hearted endorsement of the Presbyte?
rian synod. This idea of an undenom?
inational college is growing in pupu
larity and may result in a reality.
Senator Mclaurin has expressed his
willingness to canvass for subscrip?
tions from his wealthy acquaintances
in the North, as he would have done
for the Presbyterian College had it
been locatd here.
The committee of trustees, which
proposed to visit Bennettsviiie, has
been notified that it will be useless for
them to come, if the situation is cor?
rectly reported in today's papers.
Bennettsviiie made a fair, honest
and sincere fight for the college and
we feel proud of our effort, although
we failed to get the prize. We ac?
cept our defeat with good grace, and
with none but the kindest of feelings
for all concerned. We believe that
the college will suffer more than will
Bennettsviiie from the refusal of the
board to accept our offer. In declin?
ing to accept anything less than the
removal of the college from Clinton
to Bennettsviiie we are satisfied that
we are dong what is best for Ben?
nettsviiie, Clinton and the great Pres?
byterian denomination of South Caro?
lina.

First Ginners' Report.
Washington, Oct. 2.-The census
bureau today issued a bulletin show?
ing the quantity of cotton ginned
from the growth of 1905 to Septem?
ber 25 to be 2,358,031 bales.
These figures were compiled from
telegraphic reports of special agents
of the bureau who have canvassed the
ginneries of 'the various States ana
Territories, and the report is one of I
a series which will be issued regu?
larly hereafter until the completion
of the ginning of the crop of 1905
The report is earlier than any made
in 1904, rendering comparison im?
possible. The report by States gives
the following results:
State. Bales.

WAREHOUSE CONSOLIDATION.
Hali" Million Dollar Corporation Or?
ganized Today.
Columbia. September 30.-The
movement for a consolidation of the
cotton warehouses of the State took ?
form today in a petition for a charter i
for the Standard Warehouse Com- '
pany, capitalized at half million. The '
corporators are W. D. Melton and '
August Kohn. The warehouses so far !
in control of the nev.* company are j
those in Columbia, at Greenwood, ?
Greenville and Anderson.
Weekly Crop Bulletin.
Columbia, October 3.-The week '
ending Monday, October 2, had a j
mean temperature about four degrees i
above normal in the central and west
ern parts and about normal on the j
coast. The extremes were a maxi?
mum of 94 at Blackville on Steptem
ber 25th and a minimum of 56 at
Florence and Greenville on Septem?
ber 28 th. There was considerable
cloudiness over the eastern part but
almost continuous sunshine over the
western parts. There were no high
Winds or other conditions that were
damaging to crops or that interfered
with farm work.
W3th the exception of trace of rain
over the eastern half of the State,
the week was without percipit?tion.
The drought has b'ecome intensified
over the central and western counties
where the ground is too hard and
dry for.fall plowing and seeding oper?
ations, and where, in many localities,
water is scarce, with wells and small
streams rapidly drying up. The weath?
er conditions were entirely favorable
for haying operations and for gather?
ing corn and cotton.
There has been no change in condi?
tion of cotton, except that there con?
tinues to be some premature opening.
The entire crop has opened unusually
fast, and picking will be finished ear?
lier than usual with continued favor?
able weather. In a few localities
there is a small top crop, but for the
crop in general, and on sandy iands
in particular, the top crop is unim?
portant, and the occurrence of either
an early or a very late killing frost
will not vary the yield materially.
The averages of the actual figures
from a full report on the percentage
of the crop already picked, indicate
that for the eastern division of the
State 71 per cent, has been picked; in
the central division 76 per cent., and
in the western division 5* per cent.
Reports on sea-island indicate that
about 30 per cent, has been picked.
At least two-thirds of the unpicked
cotton is ready to pick, and picking
will be practically finished, with con?
tinued favorable weather, by the end
of October.
All late food and forage crops are
suffering for -rain. 0*>rn is bein:
housed in many localities. Weather
ideal for saving pea-vine hay and for
haying generally, but has been un?
favorable on truck along the coast,
and for sowing fall oats.
