The lately formed farm machinery
trust concerns the farmers Of the whole
country. 1t Is In financial way one
Of the strongest trusts In the whole
country and has practical cinch on
the business, for the reason that It con-
trolls very valuable patents. 1t is said
that the price Of machinery is to be ad-
vanced. and it probably will be. for
just as matrimony Is the objective
point In courtship SO higher prices and
bigger profits are the real objective
point Of all trust schemes.

is no end Of farmers who will not

truth In what this man said. The one

the fact that the cornhusks have OPEN

that there is some kink or other about

says that there will be deep SHOWS and
much intense cold. as such winters al
ways follow such summer as that Of

only strike the right prophet. The truth
is that the whole kit and. caboodle OF

NEWSPAPER

The Newberry Herald and News last
week published the paper daily during
the session of Conference. The Her
aid and News is one of the most enter
prising newspapers in this State, but
we venture to suggest, when the net re-
suits are summed up, that that newspa-
per. will not again print a daily paper
for Conference. The Herald and News
will get much credit for. enterprise and
pubic spirit in this matter. The Press
and Banner has, in the past, done a lit
tie of that sort of work, but it's cost
does not yield big dividends.
We have often wondered why as en-
terprising a newspaper as The Herald
and News is does not throw away its
leads and use smaller type.-Press and
Banner.
We thank Brother Wilson for his
kind words. The next time Conference
meets inNewberry the town will have
grown so that a daily will be printed
anyway and regularly. We have some
enterprising merchants who saw the
opportunity of getting their goods be,
fore the people and our daily had a
small source of income.

COLUMBIA LETTER.
E. H. AULL, EDITOR.

Columbia, Dec. 11.-Last night Gov.
insolvency received the following tel
egram, signed John P. Haines, presi-
dent of the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals:
cit is reported that bulls owned by
R. Il. Thomson and H. M. Tillman are
to be fought to a finish at Rock Hill
Friday next at noon. There are also
to be dog and cock fights. This is in
direct violation of 2257 and 507 of Grim
inal statutes of South Carolina. Please
take action to prevent this violation of
law"
The governor at once replied to Pres
ident Haines as follows:
"Have heard nothing of report bull
fight Rock Hill. Have wired for par
ticulars."
He also at once sent a dispatch to
Editor Hull of the Rock Hill Herald re-
calling the allegations made by Presi-
dent Haines and asking to. be advised
of the facts.
This morning the following came
from Rock Hill:
Replying to yours of last night re-
port referred to appears to be anthem
tic. Hand bills circulated announcing
bull fight, dog fight, cock fights, etc.,
commencing tomorrow at noon on farm
of r. F. Thomson four miles, South
east of Rock Hill. j. J. Hull"
: The governor when the telegram
came last night did not think there was
anything in the report, but thought
best to wire for particulars. Such
sport is in direct conflict with the laws
of South Carolina. The sections re.
ferred to by Mr.. Haines r in the re-
vised statutes of 1893. The law is
found in Townsend's code at sections
623 to 633 inclusivea

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent authori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly no
ton that one kind of food is needed for
brain, another for muscles, and still
another for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
NAV be, it's nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or pre-
vent their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower, the
favorite medicine of the healthy mil
lions. A few doses aids digestion,
stimulates the liver to healthy action,
purifies the blood, and makes you feel
buoyant and vigorous. You can get
this reliable remedy at W. E. Pelham
& Son.

The new pistol law seems to be some
thing of a farce. There is nothing in
the Act prohibiting the ''lease'' of pis-
tolls for ninety years and we venture to
say that as many pistols are ''leased'
as were sold before the passing of the
Act. journal and Review.
The pistol toting habit will never be
cured by legislation. And a law that
has not the respect of the people and
which can not be enforced tends to
breed contempt of all law.

For Coroner.
Special to The State.

Camden, Nov. 21.-The report
has just reached town of dastardly
attempt on the part Of a negro by
the name of Ned Kendrick to force
his way "Wednesday night) into the
room Of Mrs. Mary E. Elliott, a
highly respected and hardworking
white woman of about 45 years who
lives with her son, 19-year old lad,
about four miles from Camden in
West Wateree.
The negro reaped the due reward
fos his criminal intent, as Mrs. lei.
lott with undaunted courage that
would have done honor to any,
killed him at her door step.
The story as related by reliable
parties, who live in West Wateree,
is as follows: Mrs. Elliotps nearest
neighbor, Ned Kendrick, who lived
with his family about 100 yards
from her house; the next nearest
neighbors we're some white people,
about quarter Of mile distant.
Kendrick had been living there
about three years and had worked at
the Conquest saw mill
Mrs. Elliott's home consisted of
one room, occupied by herself and a
shed room, whore Allen Elliott
slept, opening onto a back porch
On Wednesday night between 8 and
10 O'Clock, Ned Kendrick appeared
in front of the shed room, began to
curse young Elliott, fired off pis
tol and warned him he would shoot
him If he poked his head out of the
window, that he chad the right
gang with him" He then went on
to Mrs. Elliott's back door, fired his
pistol again, cursed and told her to
keep quiet or he would shoot her.
He then began to batter down tho
front door with an axe. Mr.. Elliott
recognized Kendrick by his voice,
and locked the back door just as ho
entered the room, armed with gun
and pistol; by tho front door at the
same moment Allen Elliott rushed
into the room through the door just
opened by his mother.
Then it was that Mrs. Elliott, in
mortal terror that the intruder wonld
shoot her unarmed con, jumped at

Alfred q. Vanderbilt was leaning
against the rail On the promenade
and did not see Mrs. Nation ap.

"You ought to be ashamed Of
yourselves" the woman screamed at
them "You ought to be ashamed to
wear such disgraceful clothes. Take
them off; take them off at once and
attire yourselves more modestly."
Alfred q. Vanderbilt hastily left
the position at the rail and came
over to where Mrs. Nation was stand

handkerchief he whispered some
thing in her ear and pushed her
away.
The outburst of the woman at
tracted Il great crowd of people and
the occupants of the Vanderbilt box

her attention to other boxes. Fl
nally she started for the cafe, where
she bore down on party of men
who were drinking wine. Mrs. Ma.
ton seized the bottle and, glancing
at the men, shouted:
Young mon, don't drink such
filthy stuff. You are going straight
to hell. Where is the man who sells
this stuff Show him to me and |
will tell him what [ think of him"
Mrs. Natio"'s request was speedily
granted by the sudden appearance
of M. Nillepigne, the caterer at the
Garden.
"Get ont of this horrible busi.

are also going to hell ani running

are dragging them down with you.
