Competition, fortunately for the
farmer. early in the season ran the
price up in the local market to
$27. 50 thousand pounds in the
seed. and that had the effect Of
drawing to this town all the cotton
tributary to it.
Only the rainy weather has
proven drawback and big one
1t has retarded the picking of the
cotton, causing the staple to dam
age and even the seeds to sprout
and delaying hauling tc the gins.

GOVERNOR HEYWARD
OFFERS BIG REWARD.
Expresses His Indignation Over
the Killing Of Dennis Head
In Lexington County,

Columbia, July 22.-Gov. Heyward
returned to the city yesterday, and
in an interview regarding the recent
killing in Aiken county of Dennis
Head, the negro, said:
aThe recent killing. of Dengig
Head by a mob in Aiken county is TIE
climax Of a spirit Of lawlessness
which means danger and disgrace to
South Carolina. I shall administer to
the perpetrators Of such an inhuman
outrage as stern rebuke and as con-
dign punishment as are afforded by
the lawsof the State Of South Caro-
lima. I fully realiz that nothing can
be done until the identity of the slay-
ers has been revealed. That those
who committed such deed keep In
the dark is self acknowledged guilt.
Every aid that the law affords to ap-
prehend and punish the guilty parties
will be invoked and I shall do my ut
most to see that the law is vindicated.
In order to further this to the very
best of my ability and for the addi-
tional reason that determined effort
shall be made and kept up have
offered a reward of $500 foTSthe ap-
prehension and conviction of the par
ties who committed this deed.
Il have written to Solicitor Davis
informing him of the situation as |
have gathered it from the newspapers.
I regret to :. say that, though I have
waited several days for official notice
regarding this lawless act, not one
report has reached me through the
officers of the law. [ am very indignant
about this killing. There seems to
have been no reason whatever for
such crime and the action Of the
guilty parties is entirely indefensiDle.

difficulty, or they will have to go out
of business altogether. In the trade

FLIN.FI.lNNED. BY RUSSIA.
Secretary Hay is Either Deciey-
ed or Has Been TaIned---No
Open Ports in Manehuria.

Washington, July 22.-Notwithstand-
ing the publication of dispatches from
various foreign cities questioning the
extent of the promises made to the
American Government by China and
Russia, respecting Manchuria, the
officials herespositively decline to ado
to or take one word from the state
ment published from Washington just
before the departure of Secretary Hay,
to the effect that satisfactory assur-
ances had been received that two or
more Manchurian ports would be
opened to the worlds trade. 1t is quite
certain that China, which is here re-
garded as the sovereign power IN
Manchuria, made these pledges, and
it is equally certain that the United
States Government fully intends that
they shall be kept. The detatils re-
fered to in the original statement as
recurring adjustment are still unset
tied, but the State department. IS
patient, resting in full confidence OF
the opening of the ports required
within reasonable length of time. 1t
is true, as stated in the London dis
patches, that Japan looks with sus-
picion upon the Russian pledges re
latiye to Manchuria, and has in
timated to the State department. that
they are not satisfactory, but SO Tar
the department sees no reason to &C
cept that view.

Bessemer aed His Work.

'sForty-eight years ago the me5al
lurgical world Of that time was great
ly startled by the announcement that
a Mr.. Henry Bessemer proposed to
read a paper at the meeting of the
British Association on the manGfac-
ture Of steel without fuel. It's was
natural that such g paper should evoke
general interest aaa much increduli-
ty," says the London Iron and Coal
Trades Review. The only deserip-
tions of steel thea produced were the
crucible and puddled varieties, both
of which required a large consumption
of fuel. The total quantity Of sseel
produced throughout the world swas
hardly more than 100000 tons. More
than one-thir2 Of this quantity was
produced in Great Britain. The re-
mainder was made chiefly in Russia,
France, Sweden and Germany. The
United States prodaeed one at all.
The cost of the manufacture OF the
pre- -Bessemer steel was SO great that it
could only be applied in homeopathic
doses to such Industries as cutlery,
where the selling price of the ultimate
product was very high. The idea OF
producing steel withozt fuel natural
ly, in these circumstances, opened up
a vista of possibilities that have since
then been more than fzlly realized.
Today single average American Bes-
semer plant will produce, and does pro-
dnce, almost as much stees in single
month as all the countries of the
world then produced in whole year.
The cost Of producing steel prior to
Besemer's invention was FROM e30 to
e70 per ton, according to it's quality.
By the Bessemer process, steel equal
ly suitable for many purposes has been,
and is daily being, produced for ee33
per ton, and the railroads of the
world are almost universally laid Rith
rails made by Bessemer's process :"

The Man Who Works.

Young man, you say you maven I
been given fair chance in life to
make something of yourself? Look at
William E. Corey, who has just been
elected president of the United States
Steel Corp Grafton at a salary 1nae
would make a man rich in few years.
Do YOU think he had "pull?"
He did. Fifteen years ago corey
was pushing a waeelbarfoW Ia the
Yards of one Of Ca-aeige's mills at
Braddock. And this was hia ''pu2i. y
He wheeled so much more iron in a,
day than the men at his elbow that
he was soon made foreman over them.
In other words Corey wasn't afraid te
"do 50 worth of work for dollar,:'
fear that besets many young men to-
day.
When Corey became foreman it was
noticed that he got twice as much
work out Of his men as the other fore
man. He didn't swear at his men.
They never grumbled at their boss
They respected him. Carnegie began
promoting Corey. And Corey worked
hard. He had only a fair common
school education. He studied at night.
He took up course in a correspon-
dence school. In time he became an
expert chemist. By and by he was an
authority on armor plate. He knew
more of armor plate than any one IN
the mills. There was only one thing
for Carnegie to do. He made Corey
of that department.
Corey increased the output. That's
all. Only much more iron than the
man at his elbow

lT's up TO ROOSEVELT.

Washington, July 22.-President
Barrett, of the local organization of
bookbinders, today announced that
every bookbinder in the Government
printing office and the members Of
the allied unions will quit work if
W. A Miller, assistant foreman In the
Government printing Office, whose
dismissal from that Office the Presi-
dent zecently revoked, is permitted to
resume work. The union gave out a
statement reciting the developments
in the case and charging Miller with
using scurrilous language about
those employed under him and SANDER
ing the bookbinders' organization, of
which he was member.
The statement says that the trouble
originated in charges against Miller
that the charge was considered by a
committee employed to adjust differ
ences; that Miller not only refused to
make an explanation to member Of
the committee deputized to call on
him, but spoke in an insulting man
neg. 'Our organization, the state
ment reciSes, ''does not or cannot
dictate the policy of conducting the
affairs of the bindery in the Govern
nent printing Office Miller's methods
were the most unbusinesslike of any
foreman in the Office and his tactics in
Furnishing men nnder him were con-
temptible. In Office and public places
he made use of scurrilous and abusive
epithets about employees, causing a
distrust in his division as to perman-
ence Of employment.
He also is charged by the union with
having sought to influence legislation
derogatory to the Interests of the
society. The statement closes as fol-
lows:
1.-The union has never requested Mr..
Miller's discharge from the Govern
ment printing Office. 1t should be
noted, however, that our constitution
forbids US to work with a suspended
or expelled member We learned that
Mr.. Miller had been discharged on
legal charges preferred by the public
printer in accordance with the civil
service laws Our evidence clearly de-
monstrated that he had continually
abused the public printer in public

sonal allegations against Miller, and

Edward and His Company.
The King Makes a Special Reply to the
Committee Presenting the Address
of the City of Dublin and
Joint Reply to the Other
Deputations.

Dublin, July 22.-King Edward and
Queen Alexandria, accompanied by the
lord lieutenant, the Earl Of Dudley,
and Princess Victoria, their suites
and other officials, drove from the vice
regal lodge to the castle, which they
reached shortly before IL o'clock this

greeted their Majesties with continu-
Gus cheering.
The King, who wore a field mar
shal's uniform, received in the throne
room large number of deputations
prior to the levee, which opened at
noon.
Altogether sixty three deputations
presented addresses. Replying to the
Dublin citizens committee, the King
said there was no part of his dominions
in which he took greater interest than
Ireland. The Queen and himself
had long been IN sympathy with the
movements tending to advance the
social and material well-being of the
community.
Replying jointly to the other ad-
dresses his Majesty said he rejoiced to
hear of the awakened spirit Of hope
and enterprise among his Irish people,
which was full of promise for the fu-
ture. It would be source of profound
happiness to him if his reign was
coincident with a new era of social
peace and Industrial and commercial
progress for Ireland. After the levee
the King returned to the vice regal
lodge, where he was joined by the
Queen.

Lnodon, July 22.-The case OF the
United States for the extradition from
Canada of John F. Gaynor and ". B.

the privy council on the petition.of the
United States for leave to appeal. Sir
Edward Clarke, for the petitioners,
presented the case. Counsel, in
structed by Charles Russell, for the
respondents, said important law points
were involved. The respondents not
only welcomed, but we're anxious to
have the matter finally disposed OF,
though they did not admit the state
ments alleged in the petition. The
Lord Chancellor granted leave to ap-
peal.
Quebec, July 22.-The cablegrams
received here today from London IN
regard to the Gaynor-Greene affair are
rather contradictory. At Mr..
Tascherau's Office cablegram was re-
ceived stating that counsel for the &C
cused consented to the granting of the
appeal as they wished to have the
matter finally disposed Of by the privy
council.
At Mr.. MacMaster's Office cable
gram was received stating that the
privy council have granted leave to ap--
peal, and that the lord chancellor had
stated the offence charged with clearly
extraditable.
Washington, July pa cablegEam
has been received here from Mr.. Nc
Master, Canadian counsel for the
United States, in the Greene and
Gaynor case, announcing the granting
of the leave to appeal.
While it is not possible to state ac-
curately the immediate effect of the
judgment of the privy council, it is
regarded as a notable victory for the
United States. The case will now 60
up on appeal, for deliberate considera-
tion of all the questions involved, from
the decision of the single Canadian
Judge to the privy council of England.
The final result is the surrender OF
Greene and Gaynor by the Canadian
authorities is foreshadowed.
