Why Graves Killed Jonos.

Bennettsville, February S.-Yesterday
in Red Bluff this county, John Graves,
white man, shot and killed Mark
Jones, a negro. The negro drove a
wagon on Graves's plantation for the pur-
pose of moving family therefrom. The
men engaged in heated dispute; the
negro advanced on Graves in threaten
ing and attacking attitude, when Graves
fired the fatal shot. The coroner held
an inquest, but at last account Graves
had not been arrested.
This morning Salem H. Rowe was
found dead in his room, in this town.
MI. Rowe was about 55 years old and a
member of one of Che oldest families of
this place. He was unmarried and
roomed alone, having his meals brought
to him. Yesterday he was we'll and went
from the store last night in his usual
health. This morning he was found
dressed and wrapped in bed, while his
supper was unfinished on the table. His
limbs and muscles were contracted and
it is supposed he had congestive chill.

Senator. Tillman Bars Editors Way.

Was ington, February 10.-Editor jeff.
Richardson, of The Greonville News, who
was recently appointed postmaster at
Greenville, is here to ascertain who is
blocking his confirmation. He did not
have to go far to find out that he is up
against the stubborn opposition of Sena-
tor Tillman. Senators Tillman and Nc
Laurin are divided on the subject and
the President has had both of the South
Carolina Senators at the White House re-
Gently with the hope that compromise
of some kind might be reached which
would result in the confirmation of Mr..
Richardson. 1t is understood Senator
Tillman refuses to withdraw his opposi-
tion on the ground that Richardson has
gone out of his way to heap personal
abuse upon him through the columns of
his newspaper. Senator Tillmap declines
to accept any explanation or permit the
responsibility for the Objectionable arti
cles to be shifted to shoulders other than
those of Mr.. Richardson. In his opposi
tion to Mr.. Richardson on personal
grounds he is sustained by long line of
Senatorial precedents, and unless he can
be induced to yield to the appeals of
Mr.. Richardson's friends, the indications
are that the appointment will fail Of con-
firmation.
The case involves the long and bitter
personal controversy between Senator
Tillman and A. b. Williams, the owner
of The Greenville News, who at present
resides in Richmond: 1t is understood
that Mr.. Williams desires to assume the
responsibility for the anti-Tilman arti-
cles which have from time to time ap-
peared in the Greenville paper, but Sena-
tor Tillman is not disposed to take that
view of the situation. Mr.. Richardson
claims that although manager of the pa.
per, he is not responsible for these edito-
rials.

An Enthusiastic Bull.

New York, February S.-The weekly
figures made up to-day disclose position
of exceptional strength and point to
much higher prices in the immediate fu-
ture.
The worlds visible supply of American
cotton shows decrease for the week of
$4,000 bales, and is now only 100000
bales greater than two years ago, when
cotton went to ten and eleven cents per
pound and was practically unobtainable
at the end of the season. OF this visible
supply there is in America at the ports
and interior towns 10000 bales less than
last year and 100000 bales less than in
the memorable bull year of 1900.
The quantity Of cotton brought into
sight for the week is only 1872, 600 bales,
which is the smallest on record for the
corresponding week of any season in
which the crop exceeded 5000, 900 bales.
We have consumed approximately 650,-
600 bales more than ended last year,
Japan alone having taken 200 bales,
against only 5000 last year.
In every direction the demand seems
to be expanding and tho supply decreas-
ing. The average weight of bales is six
pounds less than last year, which is
equivalent to reduction of 10000 bales
in the supply.
The cotton trade of the world seems
upon the eve of Recognizing the extraor-
d'nary situation and very sharp advance
In the market appears imminent. 1t is
certain 10 CONG promptly il those who
hold the small remnant of this years
crop decline to sell except at its fair
value. 1t is worth, in view of the situa-
ton to-day disclosed, certainly nine
cents, and will probably command ten
cents before the end of the season. 1t is
only through a very sharp and immediate
advance that an absolute cotton famine
in America can be averted.

Of the members of the Legislature want

WashipRton, February 8. Mrs. nj. w.
Coleman, Of Seneca, s. O., State chair
man library department., South Carolina
Federation OF Women's Clubs, who is
now in Charleston, has written most
interesting letter to Congressman Lati-
mer In regard to the silk industry soon
to be launched in Oeonee county. The
letter has impressed Mr.. Latimer with
tho importance of this project and he
will take up the matter immediately with
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, with a
view to obtaining for Mrs. Coleman all
the assistance asked.
In her letter to Mr.. Latimer Mrs. Cole
man states that Miss Henrietta Kelly, of
Charleston, who for the last year has
been in Lombardy, Italy, for the pur-
pose OF studying the silk industry, has
sailed for home and will be in Washing
ton next week. Miss Kelly will be in a
position to bring skilled labor to Oconee
county from Italy and can thus insure
the success of the project The soil and
climatic conditions of Oconee county
have been pronounced peculiarly suited
to the growing of mulberry trees aud
only a scientific knowledge of the work
is needed to push the matter to sue
Cessful end.
Upon Miss Kelly's arrival here it is
Congressman Latimer's intention to call
with her at the agricultural department
and have her explain the entire scheme
to Secretary Wilson. Mr.. Latimer says
he feels assured that the department win
be ready and willing to give Miss Kelly
all the assistance possible, and he him
self will get the silk worm eggs and muI-
berry trees. as requested by Mrs. Cole
man, If they are kept at the department..
de has written to Mrs. Coleman express
ing his deep interest in the new industry
and offering her any help at his disposal.

wAJHALLA, s. C. /:
THE PUBLIC PRINTING BILL.

In another column will be found re-
port of the discussion i'm the Senate last
week on the bill introduced by Senator
Herndon, of Oconee, providing for tho
letting of the public printing by the
county to the lowest bidder. 1t will be
noted that the bill was killed by an over
whelming vote, as we wcro satisfied it
would be, as soon as we saw notice in
our daily exchanges of its introduction.
Were it not for the purpose of correct
ing wrong impression that might pre-
vail relative to the county advertising in
Oconeo wo would let the matter pass
without comment This advertising is
now awarded by the County Commits
sioners to the two papers-Tho Keowee
Courier and Oconeo News--for the one
price provided by law, and this sum is
divided equally between them. This
arrangement has obtained for three years
and for several years Immediately pre-
ceding definite sum, equal in amount,
was fixed by the Board for each paper
for doing this work. All OF this infor-
nation was readily accessible to Mr..
Herndon, and he should have Informed
himself on the subject before making the
statement on the floor of the Senate that
in his (Oconce) county one paper was
monopoizing 'the public pap" if he
was correctly reported in the Columbia
State-and we presume he was, as no
correction has been noted.
The price now fixed by the statute for
public advertising is reasonable and fair
to both the public and the press. 1t is
the customary price charged by substan.
, tial newspapers to private parties for
similar work In fact, no paper can be
published any length of time on lower
scale of rates without loss. There is no
use in Swapping dollars" or publishing
newspaper Gust for fun" any more
than in prosecuting any other line of
business>in such manner. And yet some
people seem to think this is the only
excuse a newspaper has for existence
AS matter of fact, the printer spends
moro time, and expcnds more hard, CON
stant labor, both mental and manual, for
the small share of "filthy lucre" that
sticks to his fingers than any other man
