July 29.?The New York stock exchange today moved in a di? rection contrary to that of most other financial markets of the world. It gave no heed to the alarming con? dition prevalent all over Europe where securities of all claasea, including gov? ernment funds, fell to a lower level because of the Servian situation. The local market not only took fur? ther foreign offerings In large volume, but bought heavily for its own ac? count, much of the buying represent? ing Investment purchases of a more substantial character than had been witnessed for years. Berlin waa almost the only foreign centre where anything like normal conditions prevailed, London and Paris doing their utmost to restrict trading, while other foreign exchanges suspended operations. Of the day's total business, which aggregated about 900,000 shares, Berlin probably took 25,000, while Paris, London, Vienna Amsterdam and some less important centres were said to have sold fully twice that amount on balance. A wavering tendency was shown here at the outset with declines of 2 to 5 per cent. After the first of? ferings were absorbed the influence of the Investment demand became ef? fective and an all-round rally ensued, which held to the close. The end of the day found the shcrt Interest much reduced and the techni? cal condition of the market corres? pondingly stronger. Further gold en? gagements to London and Paris were negotiated with a sharp rise In call loans to 6 per cent and some stiff? ening of long time accommodations. Clarendon County News. Manning Times. During an electric atorm laat Satur? day about midday, the barn and sta blea of Mr. Julius S. Davis, who lives about five miles southeast of Manning, waa struck by lightning, killing one mule outright, stunning an? other, and destroying the barn with lta contents. Dr. Davis like a careful business man, carried some insurance. He had $800 on the content? of the barn, and $150 on the mule The building belonged to his father, Mr. J. filbert Davis, and was without In? surance. Deput N. D. Thomas returned from Atlanta last Sunday night bringing with him Jerry Cantey, charged with burglary and larceny. Cantey is al? leged to have broken in the depot at Pine wood the night of November lathi 1912, and made gootl his escape, only to later get into the hands of the United Sttaes authorities for stealing from the mails. He served a term in the federal prison at Atlanta for that. Sheriff Gamble haa been on the alert for this fellow, and as soon as his time was out fn Atlanta. Cantey was re-arrested upon a warrant sent by our sheriff. Friday last Deputy Thames went to Atlanta and received Cantey from the Georgia sheriff, and brought him here where he will re? main in Jail until the next term of court. Cantey is an old offender.

Some Senator* HcMevo Hitchcock's Mission Killed. Washington, July 28.?Despite pre? dictions at the cupitol today that Paul M. Warburg would go before the sen? ate banking committee to discus his financial affiliations in view of his nomination to the federal reserve bourd, some Democratic senators to? night expressed conviction that he would not appear. Senator Hitchcock who, as acting chairman of the banking committee, sent the invitation to Mr. Warburg, conferred with him last night, but members of the committee professed not to have learned the result of tin* conference.

Maybe those Charleston boosters whom wo entertained a short while back saw our Santee river commerce ami then went home and boosted a ?enema to etileel us out of it.
