HARD TIMES FOR LEGISLATORS.
No Supply of Peanuts on Hand and
New Crop About 80 Per cent.

Petersburg, Va, October 12.-Re-
ports received from farmers in the
peanuts belt indicate that about 80 per
cent. of the average crop will be made
this year. The crop last year was 5, 600
bags less than the year preceding,
and there will be falling off at least
10 per cent. this year. There was
smaller acreage this year than last, and
the crop is of no better quality. The
farmers have begun to realize that
Spanish peanuts cannot be raised pro-
ftably at Is cents per bushel, and
are turning their attention to corn
and wheat. The Bohemians who
lived near Petersburg were large rails
ers of peanuts. Most of them have
removed to Western States and their
farms for the most part have been
planted in corn and wheat. Within
radius of ten niles of Petersburg the
falling off of the peanut crop will
amount to five thousand bushels.
Chicago firms that last year had on
hand 20,0 bags of Spanish peas at
this time have none on hand now.
The last years crop has been about ez-
hausted, so that raisers and dealers are
now expecting better prices for pea
nuts this year.

TWO AER0AAUTs KILLED.
Two More Lives Sacrificed
Mans Search For Wings.

Paris, Oct. 13.-De Bradsky, the
aeronaut, and his engineer, NORM,
were killed by falling from dirigible
balloon today.
The balloon started from the serostat-
ic station at Vanguard, a suburb Of this
city, at 1855 a. NJ, on a trial trip.
After preliminary manoeuvring with a
rope attached De Bradsky released the
balloon and proceeded southward at a
height of 800 or 400 feet. The pro-
pellers of the machine appeared to
work well. The rudder, however,
was not quite successful. AT about
9.20 the balloon had returned to above
the point OF departure and then it
gradually mounted higher and higher
until it disappeared in the clouds.
The >prefect of police later received a
dispatch announcing the fall of the
balloon car near ST. Denis, five and
half miles from the centre Of Paris,
and adding that its two occupants we're
killed.
The accident occurred at about $50.
When the balloon was above Stains,
near st. Denis, the ropes attaching
the car to the balloon broke from some
unknown cause and the car with its
occupants, De Bradsky and NORM,
was dashed to the ground and the
aeronauts met instantaneous death.
The ballon itself disappeared in the
clouds.

Ticket scaIpers Hit.

Washington, Oct. ia decision of
sweeping Importance to ticket scalpers
and the railroad passenger business
generally was delivered today by JUS
tice Hagner of the equity court of the
District of Columbia, who permanent
ly enjoined 50 of the local ticket brok-
ers from selling the Grand Army spe-
cial excursion tickets issued by the
Pennsylvania, Southern, Baltimore
and Ohio and Chesapeake and Ohio
railroads. The defense of The brokers
was that they we're pursuing a legal,
license brokerage business: and that
the railroads in combining in the es-
tablisklnent of a joint ticket agency
here during tho encampnnent for the
vising Of return tickets, ETC., violated
the Sherman antitrust law. The
court held that the tickets sold by the
roads on account of the Grand Army
bore contracts signed by the purchasers
in the presence of a witness and were
absolutely void when used by any 9TH
er than the original purchaser.

FATAL EXPLOSION At
pORTMaN SHOALS.
Superintendent Of the Quarry and a
Workman Killed.
to The State.

Anderson, Oct. 10.-A premature
dynamite explosion at the rock quarry
at Portman Shoals about l1.30 this
morning killed James Tobin, white,
superintendent of the quarry, and Sam
Oglesby, a negro laborer; and Joe
Whitmer and John Robinson, negro
laborers, we're slightly injured.
Mr. Tobin had force OF hands at
work getting out stone to be used IN
tie masonry On the dam now nearly
completed a hole had been drilled in
a rock and this was being hlled with
dynamite preparatory to blasting. The
dynamite was in the shape of cart
ridge and it was the custom to use SIX
or eight in each hole. Mr.. Fobin was
directing the operation and was stand
ing directly over the hole with the
cartridges in his hand.
Oplesby was ramming them down
with wooden crowbar but the wood
EN- instrument did not give satisfaction
and he laid it aside and began using
an lion drill to force the cartridges
down. It is supposed that the iron
drill struck against the stone and
caused a spark which ignited the
dynamite and caused the explosion
which was frightful.

FIGHTING BELL PHONE COMPANY.
Tils Merchants in GreenviIIe Have
Instituted a Boycott.
to The State.

Special to The State.
Greenyille, Oct. l0.-Greenyille has
telephone boycott which may become
an important matter.
It is said that all the grocers and
druggists have agreed not to use the
Bell telephone on account OF the Bell
company's action in raising its price.
For several years, since the institution
OF the Home telephone system, the
Bells charges have been S12 per year
for residence and SIS per year for bust
ness houses. Recently the price has
in several instances been raised to Sl8
for residences and S36 for stores. The
raise has not been uniform, but some
stores have fora year or less been pay
ing IS per month while others we're
paying SI.25. Some Of these had con-
tracts in writing and others had none.
Fearing a general advance, one OF the
gr6cers, Mr.. John G. Orr, took the
lead in the matter and as result all
the leading grocery and drug houses
have agreed to have the Bell phone
taken out. No effort Shas been made
to enlist other lines Of business or resi-
dences in this agreement, but it can
be readily seen that phone is prac-
tieally useless to citizen if he can
not communicate with his grocer and
his druggist thereby and the agree
ment will have the desired effect. Al
though not solicited, is said that
brokers and others who have dealings
almost exclusively with the Two
kinds of business named requested
their names to be added to the list.
In order to protect themselves from
a raise on the part of the Home COM
pany the grocers and druggists have
secured from that company an agree
ment not to advance it's prices. The
present rates of the Home are SIS per
year for residences and s24 for business
houses.
It was stated today that the business
men are as determined that they mean
to insist on the Bell 'phones being
taken out even if the company offers
to let them remain free Of charge.
The Bell has been up against these
fights before and in such cases It's pol
icy is to let phones remain where pa
irons refuse to pay, with the instruc-
tion to answer calls from regular sub
scribers and pay nickle when use Of
the phone is desired temporarily. But
the Greenville business men are on
to this scheme. It is said that one
drug firm which has had q pay booth
of the Bell system in It's store has even
oone so far as To order it taken out.

Miners Need Help.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, through its
executive council today issued an ad-
dress to the public, appealing for fin
ancial and moral aid for the striking
anthracite miners and denouncing the
attitude of the mine owners, on whom,
the appeal says, must rest the re-
sponsibility for the hardships resulting
from the coal famine.
The address is in part as follows:
"The strike of the miners is now in
it's twenty-third week. That the
strike occurred was entirely the fault
of the presidents of the coal companies ;
that the strike has continued to this
day is entirely due to the contempt
which the presidents of the coal COM
panies have for the people of our
country and the untold suferings
which all may endure.
No offer to settle the strike could
be fairer than shat made by the miners
representatives at the conference with
President Roosevelt. The operators,
naughty arrogance, brutal, dominat-
ing spirit, blasphemous assumption of
divine wealth proprietorship, shock
ed the civilized world, and aroused
the honest indignation of all lovers Of
justice and fair dealing.
"What' more could the miners do
and maintain Sheir self respect and not
forfeit the respect of their fellow
men, than their willingness to submit
all matters in dispute to commission
appointed by President Roosevelt and
when that was refused, to leave the
entire controversy to Mr.. J. Pierpont
Morgan, one Of the men largely inter
ested with the operators.
"There never has been a time, either
before the strike or since its inaugura-
ton, that the miners have not been
entirely willing to have the questions
involved in the miners claims in
yestigated and adjusted by any disin-
terested persons. -
The appeal then suggests that relief
committees be formed everywhere to
solicit financial aid, that the wages
earned between 10 and II o'clock each
Monday morning, the miners hour, !"
be contributed, that clergymen make
special plea to their congregations
and that tie press solicit contribu-
tions.

A GREAT TOBACCO MARKET.

Special to The State.
Mullins, Oct. lo.-Following is a
statement of the amount of tobacco
handled here during July, August and
September, 1902, as compared with the
same months last year.
Last year 1852, 933 pounds were
sold for sl47, 027.l7; this year 4.597, ,074
pounds for s454, 000.34, being an in
crease of 2, 77334, al pounds, bringing
s3l6, 973. II.
This shows how the market is grow
ing. There is no question as to this
being the leading market of the State.
There will be another warehouse built
here before next year, making four
large houses capable of handling 2oo,-
coo pounds per day, and there is every
reason to believe sales next year will
reach this figure, as there will be a
large increase around here and the
large territory abroad which is con-
stantly increasing to draw from.

BRlDsTREET's TRADE REVIEW.
Declares That the Effect Of the
Strike, lndustrialIy, is Overrated.

/ New York, Oct. 10.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: Cooler weather has
brought the coal supply question home
to millions of people and discussion OF
this has dwarfed all other matters IN
the public eye. There is possibility,
however, that the tendency to exagge-
ration may be carried to extremes and
that matter bad enough at best may
be made worse by injudicious talk.
neutrality-suspicious. by Bradstreets'
correspondents at so cities and indus
trial centres east Of the Mississippi and
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers
seem to indicate that, aside from the
damage to general business caused in
the coal regions themselves by. the
idleness of 14O, 600 industrial workers,
the coal strike as yet has been the
cause of much smaller displacement OF
industrial workers than is generally
supposed.
Including furnace employees in east
ern Pennsylvania, brick makers in
and near the Hudson valley and large
number of coal handlers at tidewater
docks, not to exceed 10000 men,. or
only one-seyenth of the number OF act
ual strikers, have BEEN rendered idle.
3 Oil, both crude and illuminating,
has advanced in prices.
The easier tone of raw cotton has
made manufacturers more inclined to
do business. Stocks of cotton are
small, both at first and second hands.
Aside from the fuel scarcity, it may
be truly said that every business pros
pect pleases! Fall iobbing, though
necessarily not so active as earlier, is
really better than anticipated. Re-or
ders note difficulty of fulfliment, indi-
eating lack of depressing stock. Stor-
ing trade advices are better than usual
at this date, and predictions as to the
coming holiday business are optimis-
tic. :.

States for the week ending Oct. 9,

BURIED in COTTON SEED.

Kingstree, Oct. 1o.-There has
reached here somewhat of sensation
created at Grseleyville, small town
lf, or l2 miles from here, by the dis

battered in, the eyes mutilated' the
neck broken, and the face badly dis
figured by the heat OF the cotton seed.
The body was discovered by a wagon
