The town for several days this week presented a business like appearance. A string of wagons loaded with cotton from some distance up Main street to the depot, and it % looked like old times. Cotton was bridging 10 l-4c Monday and Tuesday until about 10 o'clock when there was a drop of l-4c and then sold for 10c. .?f * m A Suggestion. ? The Union County Baptist Convention is to convene with the Ix>ckhart Church Oct. 28-29. As pastor of the church I want to - suggest that all delegates come prem pared to remain over Sunday night. As Lockhart is a mill town it may be the people can not attend so so well on Saturday, but they can and will attend Sunday night. H. K. Ezell. ^ m m Pine Molasses. Mr. Wm. A. E. Black, one of the most enterprising and progressive farmers in our county, brought to The Times office a sample 61 some molasses that he had made from the Georgia sugar drip cane. The molasses are equal to, if not better than the beet New Orleans molasses sold in this market. Mr. Black says that the seed of this cane will not mature in this climate, that new seed from Georgia has to bo sown every year. Mr. Black has five varieties of corn that he got from Tenncsse and Kentucky, but he is satisfied that the Dr. Thomson "corn that he has been planting for several years is the best.

A frightful Accident. Last Friday while standing a little too close to a moving shaft attached to the machinery of the ginnery? Mr. E. V. (Jock) Going was caught by the shafting and carried around at a very rapid rate, and was painfully but not fatally hurt. His clothes, shoes and socty were torn from his body, and had the shaft by which he was caught been two feet nearer the ground, Mr. Going would have been beaten to death against the ground. Fortunately, the engineer had just slackened the speed, having discovered just a minute before Mr. Going was caught that the sinoke strack was leaning too far to one side, and he was therefore in the act of stopping the engine. Thus it was that the life of Mr. Going was saved. He has been in bed ever since enduring great pain, but no bones were broken, and no serious internal injuries sustained.

The Youth's Companion, M4 Berkeley Street, > ' Boston, Must What Dixon Says. In a communication to the New York Times, the Rev. Thpmas Dixon, author of "The Clansman," has this to say in reference to the reception of his play in the South: Permit me to correct the mislcad| ing account of the so-called hostil I demonstration in the South against, my play, "The Clansman." I Tnc statement that the play was hissed at Columbia is absolutely false. The villains were hissed, the hero and hcroino cheered. The play as a whole was received by an audience of 2,000 people with the same cnthusiam with which it has been greeted in every southern city. This reception has been in every way remarkable. In many places the hotels have been unable to find accommodations for the out-of-town people. Every seat is sold the day the box office is opened, and in many instances tickets have been sold by local speculators for $10 each. No theater is large enough to hold the crowds, and the best evidence of what people in the South think of the play is found in the fact that hundreds wlm wiinnca o matinee como back and struggle in line buy standing room for the evening. The "hostile" demonstration at Columbia was a complete fiasco?a put-up job by young friends of a jay editor who had l>ccn writing columns of editorial abuse of the play before he had seen it. These youngsters arranged their plans for the "demonstration" at the hotel before the matinee. A gentleman who overheard them reported the fact to me. The scheme was gotten up in order that it might l>c wired to New York. Its utter failure made no difference to the man who worked the wires, however. He sent his report just the same. In the simplicity of his rural soul he felt sure that he could forestall the judgment of the metropolis. At the raatinoo I refused to answer the curtain call, fearing that any disturbance in such a crowd of women might cause a panic. In the evening a special detail of olficcre in citizens' clothes were present. Fearing that I would not answer the call again, one of the young men, posing as a friend, came behind the scenes and begged me between each act to respond. At the end of the third act I did so, and the half dozen members of -j: i 1 """ uiv uqpu w niss. nicy were drownod in a tumult of applause.. I stood for a moment looking into the faces of the three lead' era, who were seated together immediately before me in the second row of the orchestra. They repeated their hisses, and the crowd again * drowned them in a roar of applause. 3 I liegjin to laugh at them, and the " audience followed my example. At . the end of my spceeh of thanks I turned to tho young men, cracked " a joke at their expense and withdrew, with the whole house laughing at them. They followed me to my hotel e and tried to provoke a fight in the presence of my wife. One of them, ~ later in the evening, came up stairs " without announcement and attemptl ed to forpp himself into my room ' after Mrs. Jnxcn had retired. 3 The less said t lxiut such men as r representatives of Southern opinion the better. Such critics are always a man's best friends. I Thomas Dixon, Jr. New York, Oct.
