The Downfall Of Sully, King Of Cotton.

The morning of March 18, 1904, broke
crisp and bracing Sully got up early,
feeling that the fine weather portended
good. He had taken on new physical
vigor over night. Intuition told him that
this was the day for the big fight As he
left his house to walk to the Astoria q
telegraph-boy handed him an envelope
He tore it open with strangely nervous
fingers, then smiled-Liverpool was firm.
er. Surely the Census Bureau Report
would be out to-day. That would help
pull him through. he euickened his pace
to keep time with his thoughts. Remi.
niscences forced themselves upon him
when he would have devoted all the ener-
~ of his mind to the fight; for it was on
now--the exchange work was only the
manifestation of it.
When he reached his Office it was crowd
ed with customers. They, too, had felt
that something ominous was hanging in
the air. Sully's unusually early appear
ance lent substance to their fears. They
assailed him with questions.
Splendidly imperturbable he answered
one and all alike. II am going to buy"
The opening of the board was much
the same as that of the day before. Sully
bought with desperation all through the
morning, but at one o'clock his resources
were exhausted. He could buy no more.
He had loaded up with three hundred and
thirty thousand bales on rising market.
he ceased buying. An ominous roar
greeted the act. The infuriated men were
at him again. The word had been passed.
Sully was alone. Snarling, they edged
one another aside to thrust their faces
through and hiss their offers at the great
bull. But Sully was silent. They had
sold him to q standstill. There was a
pause. They held off for moment.
Then one, bolder than the rest, offered
cotton down-no taker Another block
was hurled on the market, then another,
a stream, food. Prices tumbled forty
points in as many seconds. Sully saw his
great fortune shrink six hundred and sixty
thousand dollars in two thirds of min
ute. Pandemonium was come-and in
the midst of it the gavel fell. A silence,
and then the chairman announced the
suspension of D. J. Sully and Company.
That was two o'clock. Between that
time and fourteen minutes past cotton
had dropped nine dollars bale. Sully's
losses in less than quarter OF an hour
were two million nine hundred and sew
enty thousand dollars.-NoVember Wo-

TROUBLE OVER A TEACHER.
Some Of the Patrons Of the Cottasevls School
Dissatisfied, and Request Mr.. c. L. Wroton to
Resign as Principal-The Board of Trustees


Dissatisfied, and Request Mr.. c. l. Wroton to
Resign as PrincipaI-The Board Of Trustees
Sustain Him.
As Mr.. Wroton was born and reared in
this section and has many friends here
and at Denmark, the following, taken
from the Walterboro correspondence of
the News and Courier, will interest them:
For some time there has been lively
time at Cottageville over school matters.
Prof. G. L. Wroten, a graduate o. the Cit
sdel, class '88, was employed during the
summer as principal Of the school. He
came in due time and opened the school.
It appears that certain of the patrons
wished Prof. Wroten to teach Latin in
the school. This, he had informed the
board of trustees, prior to his acceptance,
he could not do, as Latin was not taught
at the Citadel. The trustees informed
him that this was all right and requested
him to open the school at the stated time
This Prof. Wroten did. Soon be was re.
quested by several of the patrons in a
petition to resign. This he declined to
do. The patrons were insistent, and
Prof. Wroten determined, so each en-
ployed attorneys and on Monday the case
was tried before the board of trustees and
the following report of the proceedings
was published in the Colleton News
which probably ends the matter, as Prof
Wroten is highly spoken of by a large
majority of his patrons, and has unques'
toned ability and long experience as
successful teacher:
"Messrs. J. G.. Padgett, James E. Peu
rifoy, W. B. Gruber and c. G. Tracy, al
appeared before the board of trustees oi
Cottageville school district Monday, upon
complaint made against Prof. G. L. Wro
ten. Mr.. Gruber, with whom were Dlessrs
Padgett and Peurifoy, appeared for the
com plainants, who were several OF the
patrons of the school, and Mr.. Tracy
appeared for Prof. Wroten. The majority
Of the board (the minority dissenting
held that Prof. Wroten, graduate OF the
Citadel, was properly employed by them
though at the time of such employment
and still was, without certificate from
the county or State board Of examination
Upon this holding the complaint agains,
Prof. Wroten was withdrawn, and Mr.
Gruber gave notice Of appeal"

And the story of the Zossen electric road is a good example of the method in which research is today be- ing directed there under thorough or ganization and for the accomplishment of the most practical ends.
 The story of the experiments is this. Three years ago, or some such matter. the engineers in Berlin began to talk of this problem of high speed for electric passenger traffic. Whereupon all the people interested in such matters. the great electric passenger traffic. Where :. upon all the people interested in such matters, the great electric firms. inc iron manufacturers the banks, said to each other: Go to. Let us make q student society-a Sudden -geseIIschaft ii for Investigating this matter. And the society was thereupon formed. the hrms supplying the money, the govern ment lending d track and the eu.
