About Town.

have given away and let the floor
down on the ground, Several
thousand bushels of cotton seed was
too heavy for the old decayed Hoor '
Beam.
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.

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.

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.

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.
