TWO ARE MADE EAORPHANS
Death of David Dacey Leaves Two Tots

Death of David Dacey Leaves Two Tots
..s Alone.
Two orphans mourn the death of David
Dacey, one Of the foremen, who lived
formerly at 204 Fourth avenue SE. Their
story of their lot Is the saddest in connec-
tion with the fire. The mother died two
weeks ago, and as Mr.. Dacey had no re-
latives in the city he had engaged a
housekeeper to care for the children, both
of whom are Of tender years.
'He idolized the little tots,'r said a
neighbor, with tears in her eyes, Every
evening when he came home from work
they rushed out to meet hinll and when
both had their arms around him you
couldn't find a happier man.. notwith-
standing the recent death of his wife,
The children understood yesterday in
a vague way what had happened to their
papa and both wept Bitterly.
Dacey. who was about 40 years of age,
had been employed with the oil company
for several years. He carried 81 600 life
insurance. This he was thoughtful
enough to make payable to the children
upon his wife,s death,s 50 that; they are
not left unprovided for. "a sts,4S

ATTEMPTED ARSON.
Futile Effort of a Firebug to Burn
Vacant Store.

Some time last week (probably
Thursday night an act of incen-
diarism was attempted, which had
it succeeded, would have swept
whole block and endangered all the
business part of the town. Evi-
dence of the flemish design was
discovered Friday morning in the
shape of u pile of burned faggots
which had been placed under the
building at the corner of Main and
Jail streets, the old stand of Lesesne
& Epps. The sill underneath which
the fire was built was found to be
charred by the heat and it is only
by happy chance that the kindling
wood burned out before the sill or
boards were ignited. Evidently the
cowardly scoundrel who set the fire
was afraid to remain to complete his
work-as well as he might be. A
short shrift at the end of rope is
too good a fate for fend who
would wantonly Or maliciously COLI
NIT an act so despicable.

AFTER SIXTEEN MONTHS
BLACK FLYER GIVES UP ITS
DEAD.
Gruesome Sequel to the Disappear
ance Of T. g. Minis over Six
teen Months ago.

Tuesday afternoon while floating
timber down the river to Thorns
mill, Mr. H " Bryan noticed drift
ing on the water what appeared to
be the body of human being. He
investigated and found the object
to be the decomposed remains of a
man. The body was stark naked
except shoe on one foot. When an
effort was made to raise the body the
head fell off into the water. The
arms had also rotted off, but the
greater part of the flesh still sd-
hered to the remains.
With the aid of his men Mr Bryan
succeeded in getting the body out
on the bank and then came to town
and notified the authorities of his
discovery.
As soon as the news was told of
course everyone's mind reverted to
the disappearance of 7 B Minis over
a year ago and the finding of his
horse and road-cart in the river.
On Wednesday night October 2.
1901, Mr. Minis left Kingstree to
return home, but he never reached
his destination and two days passed
before the unfortunate mans fate
was discovered. The horse and cart
was tracked to the river-bank and
there at a place called the "cut-
down ground Was the plain print
of the horses hoofs where it went
into the water. The vehicle AMI the
body of the horse were found near
BY, but albeit day after day search
ing parties dragged the river not Il
trace of Minis body could be found.
AS soon as they were notified Mr.
John Minis, the father of the de-
ceased and other members of his
family, hurried to the scene and took
charge of the remains. We are in
formed that the body was buried
yesterday morning.
Coroner Burrows, who was duly
notified. arrived in town Yesterday
but upon hearing that the burial had
taken place and that the family
were satisfied as to the identity of
the remains, We understand that he
decided not to hold an inquest.

Cotton Worth IS l-2 Cts Per Pour.d

FLORENCE. S. c., Jan, 81, 1908.
Dear Sir:-I have been planting
this cotton for past two years. You
can grow it as perfectly as any one
else, and as much of it as any other
variety. This is not a hybrid cot
ton, but is a distinct variety of Pelier
cotton, which l imported from near
the coast of Virginia two years ago
as an experiment, and have found
that it grows better here than it did
there, asnave had my cotton in
the market with the planters from
whom l got the seed, and | sold for
from ! to I cents over them. 1t
costs no more to raise this cotton
than it does short staples; and as
so many southern mills are putting
machinery in to use this cotton ex-
clusivelv, We can sell this cotton at
our doors. The mills at McCOll
have all been changed, and also one
ut Bennettsville; and also New
berry has a mill to Use this cotton,
and also some of the Spartanburg
mills, and aside from this New
England is using large lots of it
in place of silk.
You plant, work and gin this cot
ton in same way you do short cotton.
The local mills are paving II! cents,
for this cotton, and | have just re-
ceived an offer on lot Of 20 bales
from Boston concern of 134 cents,
which / have accepted.
l called on the manager of the
four mills at Bennettsville and Nc
Coll a few days ago with samples of
my cotton, and he said unhesita-
tingly that l had the best cotton that
he had seen; and he further said
that he had samples from almost
every place this kind of cotton is
grown.
Now, as to the yield of this cotton,
l will refer you to Clerk of Court Of
this county. As to staple, / refer
you to Mr. Charles Icenan, of Nc
Coll and Bennettsville mills; Rogers,
McCabe & Co., and J W Perry & Co.,
Norfolk, Va, and Berry, Thayer &
Co., of Boston. This cotton will
hold its own here as to staple, and it
is now l! to II inches long.
l have a few of these seed for sale
at $1.O0 per bushel, f o b cars here
and if you want any, send ME your
order, as my supply is limited, and
the first orders get the seed. For
further information write me.
Respectfully,
r. e. COMMANDER.
