THE BIGGEST YIELD, TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUSHELS OF CORN ON ONE ACRE. Columbia,Dee- 4.—f Special.]—A few days ago the Atlanta Constitution, in a moment of premature eestacyat beat ing a South Carolina record of 110 bush els of corn to the acre, published under conspicuous head lints the announce ment that a Georgia farmer had made 130 bushels, 28 pounds to the acre. It did not take the News and Courier long to produce a South Carolina farmer who, this season, made 130 bushels, 50 pounds on one acre. There is a South Carolina farmer who has made this year 254 bushels, 49 pounds of corn upon one acre of this State's unsurpassed soil. Senator C. S. McCall, of Marlboro, himself one of the largest and most successful planters in the State, tells the News and Courier Bureau that this yield has been made by Mr. Z.T.Drake, of Drake’s P. O., in the southern part of Marlboro county. The Senator has'not seen the corn measured, but he saw the crop while it was growing,and then thought that the yield would be 200 bushels, and he knows the men who measured the corn and the surveyor who marked the boundaries of the acre. Mr. Drake told him yesterday that this had been the yield of his prize crop as measured by the committee, it being understood, ol couse, than he was com peting for the $500 prize offered the farmers of the United States by the American Agriculturist for the largest yield of corn on one acre, and the addi tional prize of $500 offered by the South Carolina department of agriculture to the farmers in this State who should win the American agriculturist’s prize. Senator McCall has written to-night to Mr. Drake urging him to have the report of the committee published at once. It is understood that Mr. Drake put $175 worth of fertilizers upon his prize acre. The land was a sandy bot tom of the incomparable Marlboro type, and the crop was made, it is un derstood, without irrigation. Mr. Drake is a thoroughly reliable man and the report of the committee will verify his statement to Senator McCall. Heretofore this county, Richland,has had the honor of producing the largest crop of corn on record, Dr. Parker having made on the outskirts of Co lumbia, before the war, two hundred bushels and twelve quarts on one acre. Now the championship goes to Marl boro county, for it is hardly creditable that this enormous yield can he exceed ed anywhere else in the world.

PRICE, SX-OO. by £ uig'av. Kingston, N. Y. Due. 4.-(Special)— Mrs. Hanna South worth is remembered at Pine Hill Margaretville and other vil lages in the Catskills as a dashing yonn widow. During the summer’s of 1886 and 1887 she hoarded at Pine Hill at the base of Summit mountain, «ml also at the Ac- kerly House at Margaretville. Dueing her sojourn at the mountain resort she was considered ohe of the liveliest ladie in- town and envited by many of her sex. She was well eq uipped wijh jew els and fine wearing apparel and \v; s always in posession of plenty of money which she spent lavishly. She appeared to think nothing of getting up private picuics and excur sions to points of interest^ charter con veyances for the transportation of her aquaintances, hearing the entire ex pense. She found no difficulty in pro curing a host of male admirers. Mrs. South worth was also fond of all man ner of exciting sport. At a running race between a pony owned by a Sena tor Eleishman and a horse known as “Symond’s mare,” which took place at Arkvilh*, she bet and lost heavily on the latter. She did not mourn over her loss, only saying: ‘I have more to bet and don’t you forget it.” At heps, Germans and receptions she as never found missing. At Pine Hill sha cloned men’s clothing on sev eral occasions, as the young men joc ularly informed her that she made quite a charming young.swell. During her stay in the mountains she was frequent ly visited by a man said to be from Brooklin, but whether or not it was Pettus is unknown.

New York, Dec. 3.--Regarding the proposed consolidation of the Farmer’s Union and the Knights of Labor, Pres ident Jones, of the former organization, telegraphed the Herald from St. Louis, saying: ‘•Wecan perfect a plan of co-opera tion if not consolidation. But I see no reason why we should not consolidate It is very probable that an arrangement will be made whereby will co-oper ate with Knights of Labor, I have no information that the Knights of Labor will make over tures to the Farmers’ Union at this con vention leading toward a combination of forces; hut I am advised by Presi dent Livingston, of the Georgia State Alliance, that Mr. Powderly will appear before the convention in advocacy of the scheme. Personally. I am strongly in favor of it, and 1 believe I represent the sentiment of a majority of the farm- try. The Knights of Labor are power ful in large cities, while the farmers and laborers, union embraces the great bulk of the agricultural population Each thus has an element of strength* that the other lacks, and in certain ini portant movements of vital interest to both. It would be of the greatest advan tege to have complete harmony of ac tion. -’fe ■. .-■ ■•-.V ^ ,i 'j - r , McElree’s Wine of Cardui and THEDFORD'S BLACK ■ DRAUGHT are for sale by the following merchantc in Clarke County: E.
