Its Effects in the South.

Reports 10 the Manufacturers Record
show that the high -,rice OF cotton is sener-
ally stimulating the business interests OF the
South; and while purchases Of goods do not
yet show any very large increase, merchants
and business men generally are anticipating
& great Improvement in all directions. 1t is
estimated that the higher price Of cotton as
compared with last year. and the increase IN
grain production will make a net dlttefnH:e

TEE TWENTY FIRST DAY.
When the constitutional convention
was called to order Thursday morning
an effort vas made to limit all speeches
in the future to tel minutes. but it
failed.
The section on police and municipal
CORPORATION was amended on motion
of Mr.. Patton, of Richland, after q
sharp fight, so that for five successive
wears from the time of their establish
ment, municipal corporations CAD ex-
empt all manufacturing establishments,
from taxation.
When section 81 Of the legislative
article reading, ''the marriage Of
white person with negro or mula5to
or person who shall have any negro
blood, shall be unlawful and void,
was called up, Delegate Robert Smalls
presented sensational amendment to
add the words: And that any white
person who lives and cohabits with
negro or mulatto, or person "ho shall
have one-eighth or more of negro
blood, shall be disqualified from hold
ing eny Office of emolument or trust
in this State, and the offspring from
any such living or co-habltation shall
bear the name Of the father, and shall
be entitled to inherit and acquire pro-
perty the same as if they were legiti-
mate.
After an all-day battle this amend
ment was killed and the original sec
ton was adopted, with this amendment
by Senator Tillman attached: "And
the parties to such marriages shall be
punished as the General Assembly
may prescribe.''
The only important action Of the
convention at the night session was
agreeing to resolution offered by
Senator Tillman, that when the con-
vention adjourns tomorrow it take a
recess until noon on Tuesday, October
18th. This was adopted by a vote Of
83 to So. The reasons given for tax
ing recess we're that number Of the
members were sick: number of law
yers would absent themselves for sales
day, whether they were excused or
not and that the business OF many
farmers at this particular time de-
manded their presence at home. The
convention devoted the remainder Of
the night session to hearing arguments
for AMI against eliminating the right
of dover in any and all lands aliened
by the husband during the co7erture.

COTTON OUTLOOK IN MARION
Latta Farmers Sell Their Cotton as
Soon as it Is Ginned.

The Latta correspondent Of the News
and Courier says: The roads and
streets are beds of dust. There has
been no rain since the last Of August,
and the unseasonably hot weather has
had disastrous effect on the cotton
crop, causing the young 'forps" to
dry up and the bolls to open prema
turely. The cotton crop Of this Sec
ton is consequently cut shorter than
the most hopeful imagined, and in
many places the crop is all aboutopen,
and if the weather remains good for
the next two weeks all the crop will be
gathered. It is being marketed as
fast as it is ginned, as the farmers are
afraid to risk the chance Of better
prices as those that have held hereto
fore have generally lost. Cotton is sell
ing at $40 per pound. Large quaint
ties Of peavine and crab grass hay
have been saved during the long spell
o. dr. weather Altogether the lerg>
est crop Of forage has been put up
than in several years.

A KINGS ABODE.

In the curious miniature city or
Zaandam, Holland, there is no spotso
curious as tho little hut where Peter
the Great spent six days as "Peter

known fact that when Peter the great
Gar of Russia, entered himself on tue

humble lodging Of poor BLACKSMITH

cate hands, aud above all, the we'll
filled purse OF the blacksmiths tenant
and his companions 80 excited the'f
wonder that Peter became harrassea
an,l annoyed ~ t:aeeir impairment any
obtrusise questions. In sheer disgust
he hacked up his small belongings
and retired to Amsterdam.
After Peters departure the house
passed from hand to hand. On GER
tain memorable day Paul the First OF
Russia. Joseph the Second Of Austria,
and the Hing Of Sweden made an ex-
cursion to ZAandam on purpose to
visit the czar's old home. This event
set the fashion to rolaIties and lesser
luminarles to make pilgrimages to the
little hut. In 1914 Emperor Alexan-
der visited it in great pomp aud CIR
cumstauce. 4 feet Of three hundred
yachts and innumerable barges gayly
decked with flying pennons awaited
his retu n in the waters OF the Aaan.
Four years later, William the First OF
Holland paid delicate compliment TO
his Russian daughter-in-iaw, the pr'n-
cess of Orange, by purchasing the
property and presenting it to her on
her wedding day. 1t is to her care
that tue building owes its present

BURIED ALIVE IN WELL
The Awful Fate that Befell
Joseph Campbell Digging
for His Body.

The work of rescuing Joseph CampoeI
of No. 149 Ninth avenue. Long Island
City, from the we'll in which he was
buried yesterday was resumed at day
break this morning.
All hope of bringing Campbell out alive
has now been abandoned. The well IS
fifty feet and at noon the workmen en-
gagged in clearing away the rocks has
only reached a depth of sixteen feet.
Campbelps wife, who haunted the neigh
borhood yesterday in a hysterical condl-
| ton. did not return to the well TINS
morning. She, like all the others, has
| abandoned all hope of his being rescued
alive.
The well is on the country place OF
| H. w. Biffar, a coal dealer, just off the
| Shore road, in the Steinway district OF
Long Island City. The well has been
in use for nearly fifty years. Last month
Mr.. Biffar decided to have it filled in.
Campbell and another man were engaged
to do the work.
Mr.. Biffar Instructed Campbell not to
go down into the hole, as the rocks when
loose. Campbell succeeded yesterday, in
going down once successfully. When
Biffar heard of hat he had done he was
very angry. No sooner had he started
for his office, however, when Campbell
went down again.
Biffar was sent for, and on his arrival
he shouted own the well for Campbell
to come up. Campbell started to CLINT
UP the sides. Suddenly there was a crash
and from either side of the well the
rocks came tumbling down on top of the
imprisoned man.
Each side of the well, which is five
feet across, seemed to collapse at once,
and in a few minutes time the mouth
of the we'll was choked up almost to
its mouth.
1t was two O'Clock yesterday afternoon
when the work of rescue was began. It
was found impossible to continue the work
in the arkness. There is no possible
way by which the imprisoned man could
obtain air, for the powders are packed
tightly together. The only question now
gled or not. Many think that the rocks
may have formed a sort of arch over
his body. 1t is not likely that the body
will be recovered before late tonight.
