PROCEEDINGS OF COURT.
Tht Liquor Case* .still Have lit*
Right of Way?Another Kelly Caae.
From The Dally Item. July 7.
Slow progress Is being made in J
clearing the docket of the criminal
cases, but if court sits long enough,
a finish will be made in time.
Yesterday afternoon the trial of
Isaac Ballard, charged with obtain?
ing goods by false pretence, was con?
cluded with a verdict not guilty.
T. H. Canty, white, was tried and
convicted on the charge of selling li?
quor. He was sentenced to serve six
months on the chalngang or pay ?
fine of $100. He paid the fine.
Lloyd Qreen and Anna Henderson
were tried and acquitted on the
charge of selling liquor. Another
case on the same charge was nol
prossed.
Another of the eases against W, P.
Kelly for selling liquor is on trial
and the examination of witnesses
was still in progress when recess
was taken at 1.30 o'clock.
The following cases were con?
tinue.I : :
Tb- Hat? vs. c, n. Row, ?Main?
ing goods by false pretenses.
1h. ttatt vs. David Dlekson, as
?UH and battery with Intent to
kill.
Six tint- hens were f'>uutl Tuesday
eftsrnoon in tht back lol of the
Lincoln school. Tholr fag! Wait tied
Mo ther ai d they had been dead
some days, it was evident that some
hon house raider had lost his spoil
an?l was too frightened to return for
tie hens which he had abandoned in
his hurried flight.
The statement of the First Nation?
al Hank, -..hich Is printed today, will
repay a careful examination by all
who are interested in financial
affairs. One fact that is particularly
noticeable is that the bank has bor?
rowed no money this year, the first
time that the bank has been able to
handle its business up to midsummer
without having to borrow money.
There are probably few other Inter?
ior banks in the State with this re?
cord. The deposits are $130.000 great?
er than last year this time, and the
loans are $65,000 more thtn last
year. 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.
Orangeburg, July 6.?Twenty-four
members of the Orangeburg bar have
signed a statement endorsing Robert
F. Copes, Judge of probate and mas?
ter cf Orangeburg county, for judge
of the First circuit, for which he is a
candidate to succeed the late Charles
i; i Nuitalor.
DYNAMITE FARMING.
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.

Shoppers will be wise to visit the
Shaw & McCollum Mercantile Co's.
store during their cost sale, and put

Rhode Island's excess of births
over deaths last year, amounting to
5,000, may safely be credited to the
so-called foreign population in the
mill towns. It is the "foreigner" who
keeps the birth rate in New England
up where it looks respectable.?

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.
