Last year about one-fifth of the cotton seed was made into oil, giving 20,000,000 gallons, worth $10,000,000. when Sumpter county was first set tled a man named Ballard lived somewhere in the swamps of the Muckalee with his wife. In those days the woods were full of wild turkeys, nnd Ballard conceived an idea that he would capture a big lot of them and sqll them in Ma lle built a large turkey pen and covered it over, leaving a trench for the fowls to enffcr in, baited it with corn and went home. IVo or three days after he went to the pen and found it full of big, fat turkeys, probably thirty or forty'. Ballard was afraid to. loosen the pen to get them put, so he'went hom 2, get a rope and his wife to assist him, and-returned for his birds. When he got to the pen he crawled in at the trench where the turkeys had entered, after tying one end of the rope around his body, and tied each one of the turkeys by the feet with the other part of the rope. He then bade lift wife to remove the top of the pen, and strugled out. As soon as the turkeys found they could expand their wings they began to flutter and fly, and soon Ballard was as high as the trees, yelling in -fright to his wife to save him. The poor‘wo man wrung her hands and fol lowed as the scared birds mounted higher and got swifter in their flight. She soon lost sight of her husband, and as he has never more been heard of, she-bundled up and returned to her jieople in North Carolina. lie says that this is a true -statement of the captives capturing their captor, but he don’t know what become of Ballard. The Richmond State says it is foolish to expect the Demo cratic party in two t’cars to undo the Republican iniqui ties of twenty. The opinion is growing unani mous that, in John B.

They were loaded with about 500 bales of cotton each and were worth in the neighbor hood of $50,000. The preliminary in the case of W. E. Sutton charg ed with killing Robert Mallory a short time ago, at Brunswick; was commenced Tuesday, before Justice Lanibright and. Daven port. Among the witnesses ex amined for the defense iu the Sutton-Maliory case was a white man from up the railroad named Thomblin, who was a witness to the killing. Whilst 011 the stand he exposed to view his hip pocket containing a pistol. No sooner had constable Driver caught sight*of it than he call ed the attention of Judge Lamb- right to it, and before the wit ness was out of the court house officer Leavy had served him with a warrant for ‘‘carrying concealed weapons'.” He was released on bail.
