The policy of the bank has alway been conservative as well as progressive, and the very satisfactory showing that It now makes Is one to be proud of. A Candidate for Judge.

Differences of Opinion as to Value of Spartanburg Man's Novel Methods. Columbia.. July 6.?Mr. Ira W. Wil !'!ims, in charge of the government* farm demonstration work in this State, will not undertake to discuss for publication the practicability of the cultlvative methods of J. Henry Caldwell, the "dynamite farmer" of Spartanburg, but contents himself wth saying that Mr. Caldwell's crop, which he recently inspected, is such as to give Mr. Caldwell a good chance of winning the State corn-yield prize. Captain Charles Petty, a well known Spartanburg authority on agricultural matters, thinks the Cald? well scheme utterly impractical and apt to do irresparable damage to the land. Mr. Caldwell planted his corn on Good Friday. The land was brok? en with small sticks of brown or yel? low dynamite, planted too feet deep in holes four feet apart in both di? rections.

FLAMES SWEEP TTMMONSVTLLE. An Entire Business Block of Tim monsvlllc Burned Early Wednesday Mornlng. At 1:30 a. m. Wednesday fire broke out in the Hill Bros.' store, at Tim monr-ville, and before it was stopped swept :.n entire block of the business section of the town. Ulli Bros.' store first was burn? ed tc the ground. Then McMillian's store, next door, was consumed by tl?e hre. King's Hotel, a three story bi'lding, with three stores in the lower story, went next. The fire swept on until the bakery, dispen? sary and six other stores, comprising tne entire block, were in ashes. A mad dog, Sunday, created a little excitement on Dugan street, Oakland avenue, and other nearby streets. He ran into several houses, frightening the inmlates, and also frightened several children on the streets. He was finally killed by a gentleman on Oakland avenue. The crop reports from all sections of Sumter and adjoining counties are uniformly bad. Unless there, is a change for the better in the weather l conditions in the very near future : there will be almost a crop failure In this section. Coin has been seri? ously injured by continued rain and lack of work at the proper time, and cotton is small, unhealthy and full of grass. The outlook is conceded to be much more unfavorable than at this time last year, and then it was not up to the average. Last week an old negro crippled and infirm plead guilty in two cases to selling liquor, and received senten? ces of six months and twelve months respectively in the two cases. Tuesday another negro plead guilty in three eases to selling liquor, and received a sentence of three months in one case and twelve months in each of the others?but sentence was sus? pended in the second and third cases.
