were discontinued. There were 14 acoulttals, and 29 convictions. Of the offenders convicted, 25 were sent to the chaingang, 4 to the penitentiary. Of 23 dispensary cases, 12 were thrown out. There were 5 acquittals and 6 convictions. THE COTTON MARKET The local cotton market continues quiet and rather steady, if not exactly firm. New York and Liverpool hav^ both been varying a few points from day to day during the past ten days, with but little change up or down. Although occasionally a local buyer is picking up a small lot of cotton from the surrounding country, sales are not brisk. It would be difficult to give a satisfactory estimate of the number of bales in the hands of the producers in this section; but from the best information to be gathered, it is somewhat larger than at this time last year. The views of the buyers as to what cotton will probably do, vary. Some seem to think that the price will go up, while others see no probability of anything of the kind, claiming that the figures are already higher than are warranted by general conditions. On the New York exchange, Thursday, March futures opened at 8.93 and closed at 8.94. Spots throughout the country during the day brought the following prices at the points named: New York, steady, 9 5-16c. Atlanta, steady. 9c. Galveston, quiet, 9Jc. Mobile, quiet. 9c. New Orleans firm, 9Jc. Savannah, quiet, 9c. Charleston, quiet, 83c. Wilmington, firm, 9c. Norfolk steady. 9 3-16c. Baltimore, nominal, 9 5-16c. Boston, steady, 9 5-16c. Philadelphia, firm, 9 9-16c. Memphis, quiet, 9 l-16c. Augusta, steady, 9Jc. Cincinnati, easy, 9Jc. St. Louis, quiet, 9|c. In their letter of Thursday afternoon, Murphy & Co., of New York, gave their view of the situation at that time as follows: Cotton opened 8 to 12 points higher this morning, owing to advance in Liv erpool of 2-64d to 3-64d, against expectations of a decline In response to the easier feeling here yesterday afternoon. The strength In Liverpool, attributed to better feeling now prevailing in Chinese situation, causing covering of her bear sales and some new speculative buying. The early morning's trading was mostly buying here, against sales in Liverpool, and undoing straddles, after which the market reacted some on realizing sales. March notices circulated moderately today, without having any influence on the market. LOCAL LACONICS. Ball Fixed at Sl.OOO. Mr. W. *R. Bradford, who recently killed a Ne^ro desperado in Fort Mill, surrend^jec to Sheriff Logan at Rock Hill an<J was taken by the sheriff before Judge Gage, at Chester. The judge granted bond in the sum of $1,000, and the necessary security was furnished without difficulty. The Wheat Crop. Inquiries as to the condition of the wheat crop at this time, fail to develop any striking information on the subject one way or the other. Some of the farmers report more or less injury on account of frost; but none of them seem to think they have been seriously hurt. It is fair to assume that the general condition of wheat is about as could as could be expected at this season of the year. Price of Beer Cattle. On account of a scarcity in the supply, there is a steady advance in the price of beef cattle throughout the country. The price, of course, is controlled principally by the large markets like Charlotte, Charleston, ColumWo Aiifnioto q nrJ CovonrioVi WVion these cities began to reach out for beef, local prices rise steadily. The large markets are now paying slightly more . than they were a few weeks back. On the Ohewter Rnnd. Mr. Lewis G. Grist, of Yorkville, is promoting an undertaking to improve the condition of the Chester road for a mile or two out of Yorkville. He has had the matter in hand for some weeks, and is soliciting subscriptions payable in either work or cash during next summer. Up to this time he has succeeded in raising more than $500, ana is still getting along nicely. The road under consideration is quite level; but very muddy. It will not require a breat deal of grading, and should be put in excellent condition at comparatively small cost. Tfie County CominlnHlonfrH. / The county board of commissioners / held an adjourned session in the office of the supervisor on Wednesday. The board was unable to complete all the business before it at the regular monthly meeting because of numerous interruptions, and because of the volume of accounts awaiting consideration. The meeting on Wednesday was called on short notice, and there was but little interference with the ordinary routine. Quite a large number of accounts received consideration, and the board completed its permanent organi zation by electing J. S. Brice as attorney and Miss Mary J. Hunter as clerk. TtML Returns. books of the county audiror w^re closed last Wednesday, the day fixed by law as the final limit for mailing returns without penalty. The returns were, as usual, taken close up. Auditor Boyce had completed much of the work before the expiration of his term, and Mr. Williams took between 1,000 and 2,000 during the last days. At this time the auditor's office is busy getting the papers in shape for examination by the township boards of asenconrc xi'Vin moat nn the* Qonnml TTi 1PQ day in next month. It is not practicable to give the total number of returns tj.at have been made; but it is pretty close in the neighborhood of 10,000. \Xrwtlle, Iturneil. trestle of the Carolina and Western railroad, over CrowdVr's cr^ek, was burned last Wednesday / afternoon. It is thought that a fire originated from a spark dropped by the southbound passenger train. Anyhow, a higb wind was blowing anil a gap of some 40 feet in width was burned out before the fire was gotten under control. A force of hands was put to work at once repairing the dainage, and by using material that had already ueen placed on the spot for the purpose of strengthening the trestle to standard gauge proportions, the gap was closed by 2 o'clock Thursday morning. During Wednesday passengers and mail were transferred over the iron wagon bridge across the stream and not a great deal of inconvenience was caused to passengers. Trains have been passing over the trestle since Thursday morning. D. A. R. The Washington Post of February 19, has the following about the South Car olina delegation to the D. A. R. congress In session in Washington: The Palmetto State has sent an unusually strong delegation to the national congress of the D. A. R. Mrs. Clark Waring, of Columbia, the able and popular State regent, as usual, heads the de.egation. Mrs. Waring is a candidate for the position of vice president general from South Carolina. There are 20 of these, and South Carolina, as one of the original 13, askes that this honor be given to her daughter. Mrs. Waring has made a most acceptable State regent, has fine ability, is gracious and tactful, and has ever been most zealous in advancing the interest of the D. A. R. Among the chapter regents in the city are Miss L. D. Witherspoon, of the King's Mountain chapter: Mrs. Francis Jones, of the Rebecca Motte chapter. Mrs. W. A. Law and Mrs. R. K. Carson represent Cowpen's chapter: and Catawba chapter sends Mrs. A. R. Smith. King's Mountain chapter, of Yorkvllle, S. C., a young but strong and enthusiastic chapter, sends, besides its delegate and alternate. Miss Witherspoon and Mrs. D. E. Finley. wife of Representative Finley, three of its members, Mrs. S. M. McNeel, Mrs. B. N. Moore and Miss Margaret A. Gist. Miss Jennie Hart, of this chapter, has the honor of serving as one or me pages ui mis tuugicas. Mom of the Same Rumor. Spartanburg Journal, Monday: There is much interest among railroad and business men in the evident intention and great desirability of the Seaboard and Coast Line systems to reach this section of the country from the east. Spartanburg and Gaffney in this state, and Rutherfordton and Henrietta, N. C., are objective points. This city is the only one touched by the Coast Line, and it is reached indirectly. Positive Information has come that the Coast Line is practically certain to bring the South Carolina and Georgia Co.'s extension from Blacksburg and Gaffney to Camden and Marion, 171 miles. This would bring the road into direct connection with the manufacturing district, especially if a line should be run to Clifton from Gaffney. The argument against parallel roads does not work in this case, as the most profitable part of Kq fiAiifh PnrnUno nrid Georcria Exten sion Is the Gaffney-BIacksburg line. Clifton affords over a million pounds of freight per month. If the Gaflfney line is not built to Clifton, it is evident the Clifton freight will be reached from this city by an extension of the C. & W. C., which is controlled by the Coast Line. Jesse Cleveland, of this city, recently wrote to Samuel Hunt, president of the S. C. & Ga. Extension, as to the prospects of extending his road to this city. His reply indicates that nothing is to be done in that direction soon; but the information that the Coast Line will absorb that road throws some light on the matter. SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS. A^G??iMttnnttier At 26. Greenville News, Wednesday: There is a family living In Pickens county that has a record most remarkable, and one seldom acquired by any family. The mother was married when 11 years old. She is now 26 and has 14 living children. The oldest one of ihe family has married and has one child. The mother of the family, therefore, is a grandmother and only 26 years old. After Tnlbert Acaln. McCormick special of Thursday to the Columbia State: A party of masked men rode into town today about noon with the intention of making James W. Tolbert leave. He had been here for a week and the citizens had about decided not to molest him further, which fact made him feel safe. The masked party encountered him at work repairing one of his buildings and, ac cording to an eye witness, one of tne party of masked men asked him to surrender, instead of which he drew his pistol and, presenting it, fired. The masked party was saved by a memorandum book wrapped around with a silk handkerchief; it catching the bullet. They immediately began backing from each other after exchanging shots. Tolbert emptied his pistol, then turned and ran, succeeding in evading the mob, which soon dispersed. It developed afterward that one of the party was wounded, once in the right side of I the back, the bullet lodging in the lung, and once in the ajyn, which is a flesh wound. The t>ln|i?nnary anil the Internal Revenue. Columbia Record, Monday: Mr. Mackey. of Washington, who is related to Judge Mackey, was in the city today, having with him an important proposition relative to the dispensary. Mr. Mackey is a lawyer and he has had occasion to several times to look into the dispensary law of this state. After investigating it and the laws of the United States in reference to the sale of liquor, he came to the conclusion that the state would not have to pay $25 revenue license for each dispensary. He has looked up the law on the sub ject and the various decisions or tne internal revenue department and the courts, and from them he drew his conclusions. Then he determined to submit it to the state board of control, and in company with Chairman Williams and Commissioner ('rum, a call was made on the governor today and the point was laid before him. Attorney General Bellinger was called in for consultation, but the matter is still under advisement. If Mr. Maekey's contention is correct it will prove quite a saving to the dispensary. It is said that Mr. Maekey's idea has the endorsement of Senator Tillman, who, it is said, has investigated the matter and believes that Mr. Maekey is correct. a Havana dispatch of Wednesday, stated that the committee appointed by the Cuban constitutional) convention to draw up a declarator defining- the relation between the United States and Cuba, is waiting for intimations of the desires of the Unitec States. The probable wishes of the United States have been discussed ir various papers; but as yet they art not definitely known, and the constitutional convention does not fancy thf idea of making a declaration that it I may have to take back.

THE HOOSIER CORN PLANTER has been on the market for more than 30 years, and its popularity grows as the years go by. It is made by the same people who manufacture the celebrated Hoosier Grain Drill, and is just as far ahead of other makes of planters, as the drill is ahead of all makes of drills. Farmers who have used the drill, as well as others, will appreciate the force of our claim. We sold the planter last season for the first time, and guarantee it unconditionally, on the strength of the reputation of the manufacturers. Read what farmers who have bought it, have to say: We have thoroughly tested the Hoosier Corn Planter with fertilizer attachment, and say unhesitatingly that it does everything claimed for it. It does the work well and accurately. It is simple and strong in construction, easily and quickly adjusted to drop corn any desired distance apart, and to put down any desired quantity of fertilizer. It is a great time and labor saver and can be handled with ease by anyone who has sufficient intelligence to manage an ordinary one-horse plow. We recommend it to the "craft" as a time saver and money maker. John F. Gordon, Co. Supervisor. G. C. Ormand. J. D. Clark. Mr. Ormand authorizes us to say that now that he has tried the Hoosier Corn Planter he would not dispense with it on his farm for three times its cost. YORK IMPLEMENT CO. i ta' TAKE COUGH EASE.
