DALXELL.
Dalsen, Oct 2?.?We have not writ?
ten in some time, but everything has
been quiet and nothing of much in?
terest has been going on. We have all
been very busy, but the cotton crop is
about all gathered, and most of it has
been sold. We have never teen the
field blacker at this season of the year.
Labor has been plentiful?no trouble
to get what we made harvested. Corn
has most a 1 been gathered and peas
picked. Sowing oats to In progress
now and we think a good crop will be
planted. Potatoes also are being
gathered.
Everything points to times being
hard with he laboring class for the
next few months, for the cotton Is
about all gathered and peas harvest?
ed, so there is little for them to do.
We have heard some remark already
that there was nothing for them to
do to make a living out of now.
Mr. L Burkett haa moved into his
new residence on Main street, which
is newly completed and adds consid?
erably to Dalxell.
Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Crosswell have
very kindly given one acre of land in

Methodist church, and the building
committee will meet next Monday to
draw plans and get the work in
shape to go to work at once on the
building. We are hoping to have th<
church building well under way by the
first of January. We have about $700
subscribed, which we can get at once,
and we feel sure our friends and
neighbors will come In with three or
four hundred more. So any one who
feels like contributing to the worthy
cause and helping to build Dalzell up
will find Mr. J. E. Dunbar, who is
chairman of the building committee,
ready to receive their contribution.
L.ilzell will be well represented at
Columbia this week if the weather
continues flue.
All who are Interested In the ceme?
tery nt Tlrrah are requested to meet
the>e next Friday to help clean It off.

DEMOCRATS PLEDGED TO VOTE.
A Strong and Timely Appeal to the
Democrats of the Seventh Dis?
trict.
Mr. Edltor: I am in receipt of In?
formation from Orangeburg to the
effect that Richardson, the negro
candidate for Congress, from this Dis?
trict, is very active in his efforts to
poll the full vote of his party In the
election on November Sd. Of course,
It is hardly likely that the number of
votes that he will get will be suffi?
cient to be dangerous, and the real
danger lies In the small number of
votes polled by the Democrats them?
selves. I cannot, therefore, too strong?
ly urge upon the peole the Importance
of voting In the general election. If
Mr. Bryan Is elected, he will want be?
hind him as large a popular vote as It is
possible to get, and It Is the duty of
the Southern States, not only to give
him their electoral votes, but also to
give him the moral support of a large
popular vote. Not only this, but if
we are to judge the future by the
past, the probability is that we shall
have a contest from this district, and
It Is very important that your candi?
date for Congress should be backed
by the full vote of the party. Every
man who voted in the recent pri?
mary Is pledged to vote in the general
election. Those of us who have
fought these contests In Congress for
many years know the handicap we
labor under in the small number of
votes polled In the general election.
It is hard to explain how it happens
that a Southern man is sent to Congress
with so few votes In the general elec?
tion. Let every man. therefore, do
his full duty, remembering his pri?
mary pledge to support the nominees
of the party, and turn out In the gen?
eral election and give, both to the
electoral ticket and your candidate
for Congress, the full vote of the
party.
Very truly,
A. F. Lever,
M. C. Seventh S. C.

SCARBOROUGH VS. WOODLEY.
Ttie Second Trial of n Hard Fought
Land Cast*.
The case of J. H. Scarborough vs.
J. M. Woodley was taken up for trial
In the Court of Common Pleas Mon?
day morning when court convened
and two full days were consumed in
the examination of wittnesses and In
arguments. The case was given to
the jury Just before court adjourned
last night and an agreement was not
reached and a verdict arrived at until
several hours had been spent in tue
room. A sealed verdict was tendered,
which was opened when court con?
vened this morning. The verdict was
In favor of the plaintiff, J. H. Scar?
borough, to whom the land was
awarded. His claim for rents for the
time It has been in possession of the
defendant was not allowed, nor was
the defendant, J. M. Woodley, award?
ed his claim for betterments. The
verdict is precisely the same as at
the first trial, about two years ago,
from which an appeal was taken to
the Supreme Court, with the result
that a new trial was ordered.
It has not been announced whether
or not the defendant will again ap?
peal.

SYNOD HAS ADJOURNED.
ALL BUSINESS WAS DISPOSED OF
LAST NIGHT.
Appeal From South Carolina Presby?
tery Was Considered Yesterday Af
tornoon?Action of Presbytery Was
Sustained by Vote of 59 to 36?Ad?
dresses On Foreign Missions Last
Night.
The amount reported cellected for
Home Mission work Wednesday night
should have been $54.40 instead of
$44.40.
The afternoon session of Synod was
largely occupied in the cinsideration of
complaint of Rev. W. H. Mills that the
South Carolina Presbytery in violation
of the rules and regulations of Church
Law refused to consider certain
charges formulated and presented.
The South Carolina Presbytery was
represented by the Rev. S. L. Wilson,
D. D., who defended the action of the
Prebytery.
After considerable discussion and
many short speeches a ballot was ta?
ken and the Synod refused to sustain
the complaint by a vote of 59 to 36.
Rev. Dr. Holliday and Messsrs. Ar
rowood and Leland were appointed a
committee to draft finding of Synod
as a court
At the close of the afternoon ses?
sion of the Synod the members were
requested to gather on the outside of
the church in order that the body
might be photographed in group.
The reception at the Manse was at?
tended, of course, by all the members
who could be present. That it was a
delightful occasion goes without say?
ing. It couldn't be anything else with?
out change of conditions.
The meeting last night In the in?
terest of Foreign Missions was pre?
sided over by Rev. Alexander Sprunt,
D. D. Another large crowd was pres?
ent, notwithstanding the rain, and all
were well repaid for their attendance.
After an address by Rev. Dr. Byrd,
of Chicora College, the following were
Introduced and addressed the Synod:
Rev. H. M. Smith. D. D., of China;
Jno. W. Bradley, M. D., of China;
Rev. Dr. Gammon, of Brazil.
These speakers spoke from person?
al knowledge of conditions, and of
course found a responsive cord in the
hearts of the listeners.
Rev. Dr. Reavis, one of the Secre?
taries of the Foreign Missionary work
of the Southern Presbyterian Church
was the last speaker and as usual
made a profound impression upon his
hearers.
A collection was taken amounting
to over $53 for the Foreign Missionery
cause.
Synod adjourned to meet in Charles?
ton October 20, 1909.
EDITOR JACKSON GETS BAIL.
Says His Accuser Also Used Some For
vld Language.
Green Jackson, editor of the South
srn Sun, was released from custoday j
yesterday on bond in the sum of $500, j
with J. L. Mlmnaugh as security. Jack?
son does not bear a bad reputation in
this community and the article in1
The State yesterday occasioned not a
little surprise. It will be recalled that
he was arrested on a warrant sent
here from Sumter, having been sworn
out there by the editor of another pa
per. Jackson has secured counsel.
Yesterday afternoon Green Jackson
brought to The State office a copy of
the Sumter paper containing the article
which immediately preceded the hot
one which Jackson gave in reply. W.
T. Andrews, editor of The Defender,
the Sumter paper had on the 30th of
July a few compliments for Green
Jackson, and the warmth thereof is
no less fervid than that of the subse?
quent editorial in The Southern Sun.
Jackson said yesterday that he feels
that In the eyes of the law he has
as Just a cause on which to have An?
drews arrested as the provcatlon of
Andrews to have Jackson arrested,
However, he will have recouse to no
such strategem. He feels that he is ,
vindicated In the controversy and that
his argument was unanswerable.
The casus belli seems to have been
a controversy as to whether or not
Andrews had been sent to the national
convention as a Foraker or a Taft sup?
porter; whether or not he had changed !
front and why. The Intimation was |
strong In The Southern Sun that An?
drews had been persuaded in a manner
not generally believed to be credit?
able. Andrews came back at Th?*
Southern Sun with a reply that was
more forceful than elegant, and this
provoked the rejoinder on the 15th
of August, for which Andrews, 60
days later, had Jackson arrested.?The

COSTLY FIRE AT ILXltTSYlLLE.
Large Meal House Burned, Entailing
Loss of $15.000.
Hartsyille, October 21.?The largest
meal house of the Hartsvllle Oil Mill,
containing a quantity of cotton seed
meal, was entirely destroyed by fire
this morning at 2 o'clock. The loss
Is about $15,000, which is practically
covered by insurance. Great excite
ment prevailed and for a time it ap
pared that the entire business section
of Hartsvllle was doomed.
The heroic work of the fire com?
pany, the cool-headness of the man
ager of the oil mill, Mr. J. J. Lawton
and the calm atmosphere prevented a
most serious conflagration. Severa
bales of cotton belonging to indivi
duals were also consumed. The ma
chinery of the mill was not impaired
in the least, hence business moves on
uninterrupted. The fire originated In
a small house occupied by a negro
tenant, an employe of the mill. An?
other small house was also burned.
