Slept on the Trek.

GEoReErow4EY., Nov. 5.-New-
ton Morris, a young man living at
Hinton, this county, met.with a
horrible death by being run over
by the LATE night peas scnger train
on the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad, but had not been at work
during the day. He went down
the road several miles to Vance's
saloon and became intoxicated.
He started home after night and
several of his companions ac-
companied him part of the way.
This was the last seen of him alive.
He evidently went to sleep on
the track or fell down andwas too
drunk to get up The train ran over
him cutting the body to, pieces in
a horrible manner: When the
train reached Georgetown, twenty
miles distant from thu place of the
accident, one of the legs of the
dead man was found sticking in
the pilot of the locomotive.

From Barrel to Bag.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 2-The
sugar trust has contracted for
100000 bags to take the place of
barrels for shipments of refined
sugar. The bags will be delivered
in New, York, New Orleans and
Boston as well as in Philadelphia.
This is by far the greatest bag
contract ever made in the United
States. The trusts reason for the
change fiom the barrel to the bag
is that the bag costs and weighs
considerably less than its old time
competitor. The barrels sue
cessor is a burlap bag with a light
muslin bag inside and it's weight
is only a pound and a half, while
that of a barrel of twenty three
pounds. Thus the diffeence in
freight alone for carrying refined
sugar to it's destination would pay
several times over for the bag.
This is the worst blow the local
cooperage industry has ever expe-
rienced and almost wipes out that
business in Philadelphia. Flour
now goes to Europe in bags and
is retailed in the same way. Sugars
brought here from the West Indies
and Hamburg come exclusively
in bags, which after being cleaned
are used up for paper stock. Llaus
Spreckles were the first to introduce
the bag business in the East. The
trust saw the advantage at once
and took immediate steps to have
its output shipped in a cheaper
way as soon as it gained control of
the misunderstanding News.

Prohibition.

The Prohibitionists of South
Carolina have been giving little
attention to national matters, but
on the contrary have been work
ing like beavers getting ready to
90 into the General Assembly with
an ironclad bill that will make
the hair of the liquor advocates
stand on end when they see it. In
short, the strict Prohibitionists
have prepared their bill. The
leaders, while seemingly quiet of
late, have been working harder
than at any time during the cam
paign. The bill has been prepared
by.Mr. L. D. Childs, the chair
man of the State Prohibition
executive committee and the
originator of the movement in this
State.
1t has not molly been prepared,
but is already printed. 1t is a
long one and covers twenty-three
unleaded printed pages of matter.
The printed copies of the bill are
now being sent out to the. various
members of the State committee
for their perusul and suggestions.
This is done in order that the
members of the committee can
thoroughly understand what they
are to consider when they meet in
this city on Wednesday night of
Fair week to consider the final
drawing up of the bill while there
will hardly be any changes in the
present draft, the committee will
carefully consider every posi- BILE
effect of the bill. The bill ie con-
siderably shorter than the Maine
and Kansas laws and this is due
to the fact that Mr.. Childs before
preparing it carefully studied
every known bill and all other
matters pertaining to prohibition.
In view of the fact that it is in
tended so far only for the eyes of
the committeeman, it is impossi-
BILE to secure copy of the intet-
esting document. But to-day /
had talk about it with one Of the
leading Prohibitions in the State
who had seen it and here is what he
says:
aWe have just received the bill
to-day and are preparing to send it
it out now. In general terms it is
a prohibition bill that is as strong
as it can possibly be. From the
recent vote in the primary we
Judge that the people of South Car
olina want real prohibition. If
the hill that wa have drawn up is
passed by the Legislature twill be
law which will prohibit, doing
away with the=argument that pro-
hibition won't n'tprohibit. twill do
all it claims to do because it con-
tains within itself the actual prov
isons to make it practically effec-
tive. Itisrecognized by the oppo-
nents of prohibition-I have been
talking this week with many such
in Charleston-the Legislature is
largely in favor of prohibition, and
aprohibition law is going to be
passed. We expsct great oppo-
sition, and at the same time we ex-
pect certain notifications to be
made in the bill / have here. It is
only such a bill as Capt Childs, af-
ter careful consideration, believes
is required by the people of South
Carolina. One thing is certain, the
Legislature is going to pass some
kind of a prohibitory law in spite
of everything that the opponents
of the measure can do"
No one expected the measure to
be prepared 30 far in advance, and
this early. spreading of a bill that
is so much stronger than Mr.
Blease and others contemplated
creates no little surprise here.-

Cotton.

New YORK, Nov. 5.-Hubbard,
Price & Co. say of cotton: The
statistical position as made up by
this mornings Chronicle is as fol-
lows:
Visible supply, 3,506,4S5
Of which American, 3,114,685
Crop in sight, 2,196,952
Came in sight during w'k 3S1 ,790
Plantation deliveries, 325,800
Another surprise to the trade
was in the advices from Liverpool
to-day, that market being higher
when decline was expected. The
Improvement, our cables inform
US, was due to the growing convic-
tion that the strike will only be q
partial one, the large spinning dis
tricts of Richdale and Reiburn re-
fusing to lock out their operatives.
This leaves to Oldham and Ashton
the burden of sustaining the move
naent.
An advance in yarns in Man
chester will work in favor of the
operatives, as the spinners of one
section will realize they are stop
ping only to throw profit into the
hands of other masters.
According to the Chronicle, the
movement is now 1,036,0O0 bales
behind that of last season. Those
who have favorable opinion of
the market feel confident that the
movement from now on will lose
another million bales.
Our market opened steady at 5
points advance, gradually harden
ed and became firm, closing at the
best prices of the day.
