Last evening, at about 0 o’clock, the
first bale of the season was captured by
that energetlo warehouseman, Hr. L. G.
Council, who secured the flrit bale
of cotton last year August 2.
Hr. C. 0. Clay is the planter who land
ed the winning bale.
Thle much prised first bale waebought
by the well-known firm of Littleton A
Lamar for 0} eente.
ThSee are tbeoold facta In regard to
an event which ls always looked forward
to every season with the greatest inter-
eat; but who can toll of the etruggle on
the part of all concerned to come in first
under the wire In this laudable contest.
Planters, warehousemen, brokers, etc.,
are all keenly alive at this time to secure
the distinguished honor.
The hale which arrived last night
from Ur. Clay’s place was picked, ginn
ed, packed, weighed, and sold In one
day. This is a remarkable performance
at this time of the year, when the
amount of territory gone over Is consid
ered. In the opinion of good judges,
the time made in landing this bale of
cotton in the market beats the record.
And the fact that this bale waa hurried
through to this point by express shows
that nothing was left undone to “get
here” ahead of all competitors.
After the bale which had been care
fully expressed by Mr. Clay to this oity
by the S. A. M. railroad passenger
train which arrived here about 0 p. ra.,
and was triumphantly carried to the
warehouse of Ur. L. G. Council, and as
the shades of night were falling fast, a
democratic mule, engineered by a
fifteenth amendment from the planta
tion of Hr. B. F. Jenkins in Sumter
county, entered the city and hauled up,
with the usual “whoa" of the driver.
The hale brought by Hr. Jenkins’
negro was even at this late hour care
fully housed in the warehouse of the
veteran and reliable warehousemen,
Messrs. Council & MoGarrah. The bale
weighed 514 pounds. It was sold to
Col. A. S. Cutta forOJ ceqta per pound.
A singular coincidence is, that both of
these “two first bales" camo from the vi
cinity of DeSoto, on the S. A. U. rail
way, The negro driving Hr, Jenkins’
bale to the depot missed the freight
train whleh passed DeSoto on hour or so
before the passenger and express train,
upon which Hr. Clay expressed his bale.
Ur. Jenkins takes great pleasure in real
izing that, whilst his was the first bale
really ready for ahipment, and missed the
train only byafew minutes, be brought it
with his industrious mule, who made
the crop, within a few hours of Ur.
Clay's, and a much larger bale. The
negro chuckles that he got a bettor
priee for bis bale.
The generous rivalry between such
progressive and prosperous farmers aa
Hr. Clay and Ur. Jenkins 1* a matter of
congratulation to all. The Tiues-Re-
corder wishes both success.

Infested with a gang of sneak thlevea

burglars, as they evidently prowl
around In the night time elmpty to
gather up anything that may be lying
around loose.
The lsst reported case of this nature is
the experience of young Hr. Hitt, who
lives on this street. Lsst Wsdnesdsy
morning shout 2 o’clock he waa aroused
by the shuffling steps of soma “bungler,”
who evidently was prowling around to
steal something. On realizing what wae
going on, Hr. Hitt opened, fire on the
retreating figure, discharging five shots
at the thief. The neighborhood waa
aroused, but the fellow got away in the
darkness.

Among other things of Interest of
which he spoke, he mentioned that on a
recent visit to his old home, Atlanta, he
was discussing the financial situation
with one of Atlanta’s bank presidents,
who said that money was more plsntifnl
in Atlanta than ever before; and that
the sole present cause of hard times was
lack of confidence or part of capitalist!.
