Cotton Mills Enlarged.

The installation of 10000 more spin
dies snd $50 more looms at Monarch
Cotton Mills, in Union, one Of a group
of big cotton mills in-Ihe immediate
section in which S. NJ. Milliken and
associates of New York are large
stockholders, has Just been completed
and marks quite an important step ir
industrial development, when the pres
ent state of the cotton goods situation
is considered.
This mill has rather remarkable
history, anyway, for since breaking
dirt for the foundation in the spr'ag
of 1900, it began operation just a yea:
afterward with 10000 spindies and 800
looms; the same fall 5000 more spin
dies and 100 looms were added; again
in the spring of 1903, the complement
was increased by $4,000 spindles and
$50 looms, making the total equip
ment then of 10000 spindles and $50
looms. In the spring Of 1904 the
building still was not filed to its ut
most capacity, so it was decided to
bring this about by putting in 10000
spindles and $50 looms, which has just
been done, so that 10000 spindles and
1000 looms are now in operation in
this one mill alone.

President Preparing to Fulfill Promise

A Washington special says: The
president is preparing to redeem mis-
promise to the delegates to the inter-
parliamentary peace conference to Sc
cure another meeting of plenipotentia'
ries Of the powers signatory to The
Hague convention, with view to re-
vising All adding to that instrument.
Complex machinery of this kind is
difficult to set in motion and II the
Ordinary course is followed in these
negotiations, it will be at least year
and probshly longer period before
the meeting can be held. ~.
It will be necessary for the state
department to address separate notes
to every government represented at
the last conferenc, inviting sugges-
tions as to the time and place of meet
ing, and without doubt, in the spirit
of caution that is always exhibited by
diplomats, many of these governments
will, before giving their assent to the
proposed conference seek to secure an
ironclad agreement as to the scope
of the conference.

Death Rather Than Motherhood.

4 few days ago Governor Hayward
commuted The death sentence OF H.
Hayes to life Imprisonment in the
penitentiary. This action was based
principally on the decision Of an ex-
pert examiner of handwriting.
Hayes had been convicted in Oco-
nee county of having killed his wife,
and the evidence wa5 circumstantial,
with nothing to show motive. The
statement of the expert increases that
feeling of doubt to such an extent that
Governor Hayward is unwilling to See
the man suffer the death penalty.
He does not grant an unconditional
pardon for the reason that there are
many circumstances unfavorable/ to
the accused.
The main evidence on which the
governors action is taken, was a note
produced by the defense purporting to
have been written by the Gead woman.
which indicates that she took her own
life instead of being murdered by her
husband. This note is as follows:
TO Lula; I am treated well by Hoyt,
but l had rather die than to have the
pain and sickness Of motherhood,
therefore l write to let you know |
did it,"
This letter, with other samples of
the woman's handwriting, was submit
ted to David N. Carvallo, the hand
writing expert, who figured in the Mo-
lineaux case, who says the writing
in the note is that of the woman.

crazed by Cigarettes, Lieutenant
Stays Fellow Officer and Self.
A Manila special says: Second Lieu
tenant William D. Pritchard. in a Gt
of insanity, shot and killed Second
Lieutenant Frederick D.. Dean. He.
then shot and killed himself. Both
officers were attached to the Thir-
teenth regiment, United States caval-
ry, stationed at Camp Stotzenberg.
Lieutenant Pritchard was son OF
Judge Peter C. Pritchard, Of the Uni
ted States circuit court in Virginia
and North Carolina.
A dispatch from Raleigh, N. c.,
says: The suicide of Lieutenant
Pritchard in the PA--ippines causes ex-
| pressions of sorrow and the deepest
sympathy to be sent to his father,
Judge Pritchard, from all parts OF
North Carolina.
Lieutenant Pritchard was almost
unknown here, having visited Ra-
leigh only twice, and then only for q
day or two. Inquiry made regarding
him shows that he was in 1898 q sl-
perb specimen Of manhood, weighing
200 pounds and over six feet tall. He
was then appointed lieutenant OF
volunteers that year and wen to the
Philippines, where he served on
the staff of Colonel Thad Jones, in
the cavalry. He was mustered out
and appointed lieutenant OF cavalry
in the regular army.
In the interval, he had become
victim of the cigarette habit, and this
had so afflicted him physically that
he was, when thus appointed to the
army, cadaverous He was so addict
ed to the habit that it is said he got
up nightly to smoke. 1t Is believed
that this caused mental alteration,
and led to the killing of his brother
officer and his own suicide.

Episcopal House of Bishops
Forbid All Remarriages.
A STRICT AMENDMENT
No Minister Allowed to Perform Cere-
mony Where Either Candidate
for Matrimony Have Living
Husband or Wife.

A Boston dispatch says: The
house of bishops, one of the legislative
bodies of the Episcopal general con-
vention, Monday adopted an amend
men. to the canon On marriage and di-
vorce, forbidding the remarriage OF
any divorced persons. The amend
ment was substantially the same as
that which was rejected by the house
Of deputies on Friday last. The &C
ton Of the bishops was not unexpect-
ed, as the sentiment Of the body was
we'll known. In fact, similar amend
ment was passed at the San Francis
co convention three years ago, but
failed, as was the case this year, to
! secure the support of the other house.
A conference of committees represent
ing the bishops and the deputies will
be held to consider the disagreement,
but leading clergymen do not antici-
pate. that the deputies will receie from
their vote of last week. The amend
ment is as follows:
'No clergyman shall solemnize q
marriage between any two persons un-
less by inquiry he snail have salts
fed himself that neither person has
been husband or wife Of any other
person then living, from whom he or
she has been divorced for any cause
arising after marriage"
Several additional amendments were
| put before the house Of bishops, one
of which is that divorced person
shall not be admitted to the sacra,
ments. There is a proviso however,
that the sacraments shah not be re-
fused penitent person in imminent
danger of death, nor to any person
who shall solemnly aver that he.or she
was the innocent person in divorce
for the cause Of adultery.
Another amendment which was
adopted compels all clergymen to OBJ
serve closely the state laws on mar
riages and provides for the presence
| of at least two witnesses.

Fatal Duel in the Public Road.

Fatal Duel in the Public Road.
NJ. NJ. Morse has been shot and in
stant2y killed in Saluda county by w.
L. Henderson. Henderson received G
load Of shot in his right arm.
Both parties used shotguns, weapons
which it is said the two men had been
carrying for each other for some time.
There has been i'll feeling between
the two men for several months, and
the homicide was no surprise to those
WHO were acquainted with the facts.
Morse and Henderson met in the
public road, the former being ii a
buggy with his son-in-lsw, en- route
home from Edgedeld. Henderson was
also in buggy.
Both. men were armed. Very few
words were passed before the duel be-
gan. Morse was shot twice, one load
entering the abdomen. This is the
shot when produced instant death.
Henderson will probably lose his
right hand and left arm as result Of
tie wounds received.

| ow Water Interferes With Mills.

The cotton mills of Spartanburg
county and section, located on
streams from which they derive their
power, have been facing a crisis en-
account of the exceedingly low water.
There are some mills that have
been running three days in the week
on account of the lack of water power.
These mills wait three days for the
reservoirs to become filled and then
run three or four days until the supply
is again exhausted.
One large new mill, the Apalachie,
it is said, has been unable to start up
vet on account of the unprecedented
low stage of the water.

"T'd better shoot the critter and be
sure of the carcass this time; what do
you say, wifey?
Don't you be too hasty, Jim, but
wait for developments. as the whale
will return often if it comes back once,
you can bet. Only wait and see.'
"At the appointed hour for feeding
his former pet Captain Mcmillan went
down to the ledge where he had stood
so often on recent days and tossed the
food into the bay to his friend, the
whale.
HE threw the bucket Of food to the
water and watched it sink below the
surface. but before the last particle
had disappeared the dark form Of a
long, slender fish came to view, and
when the tail was exposed there was
the telltale iron ring and hanging to it
4 small piece Of chain.
"'That's my whale" exclaimed Jim
as the big fish swan leisurcly about
the cove and did not seem to want to
leave the small harbor when the food
was gone.
The old seaman remained Oil The
rocks for a long time, and was then
convinced that his wife was righI

friend, however. the trail will be long
indeed that takes you beyond his re-
sentiment.
Mr. Hanna, powerful with his mil
lions and the friendship of millions,
possesses machine advantage over
men of the Roosevelt stamp. All that
Money controls, and whether it belong
with the banks, the railways, the man
ufacturers, the shipbuilders, the mines.
or where you WILL is on the side of Mr..
Hanna. The Quays and the Platts are
his; every man of the machine comes
about his standards. This being the
situation, one is driven to ask what
should prevent him from overrunning
Mr.. Roosevelt in a convention, like
train of cars?
Frankly. there is nothing to stay the
Hanna march but the Hanna appre-
tensions. Mr.. Roosevelt, in all he does,
is III constant appeal to the people. The
people are with him. If Mr.. Hanna were
named could Mr.. Hanna succeed at the
polls? That is the query which Mr..
Hanna puts daily to himself. He has
the machine, but he is not sure of the
public.
THE GRIZZLY BEAR OF POLITICS.
These gloomy fears serve to palsy
Mr.. Hanna and shake him with dark
uncertainties. Neither do they add to
the gay assertiveness of the Platts, and
the Quays, and those others who have
fortunes to win or lose in the upcome.
The rank and file of the party are with
Mr.. Roosevelt. When you ask the
question about Washington, his warm
est enemies admit while they deplore
the fact. And in the end they come
back to the proposal: Which is better
to split the party and elect a Demo-
crat, or keep the party together by
giving Mr.. Roosevelt the convention?
The chances favor prophecy that
Mr. Roosevelt will take the nomination.
The opposition, with Mr.. Hanna at its
head will be eaten to death by its own
fears.
AS affairs phrase themselves, accord
ing to the coolest, best judgment at the
capitol, Mr.. Hanna WILL with the last
of it, subside, and Mr.. Roosevelt walk
into uninterrupted victory. The very
savagery of his methods forms Mr.
the grizzly bear in politics. There is
this in favor of a grizzly bear. Should
you become involved with him, he forces
YOU to fight bear fashion. Money is of
no avail, assuming that you have it. A
grizzly bear would daily with a Rookie
Teller or a Sage with as brief a hesita-
ton and as much aplomb as though
that financier were the inmate of an
almshouse. Your grizzly knows no diff
ference between Lazarus and Dives, and
claws and hugs and crunches with a
noble impartiality
IF Mr.. Roosevelt were in a least de-
gree afraid of money-indeed, had al
most said that if he even understood
its power-he would be lost in a blink
down and out in a moment But he
isn't, and he doesn't; and so he goes
on and on, foiling his enemies by the
merest honest savageries of his sys-
tenn.
What I heretofore have said of Mr..
