THE GOVERNOR TALKS.

Gov. Hayward said Saturday that
he vas very much amazed at the ,ae~
tion Of Coroner Rivers 10 not binding
over Bennett for the killing OF his
wife, Notwithstanding the fact that
the coroner's jury returned verdict
that the deceased came to her death
by mischance, for the criminal laws
positively direct the coroner, under
such circumstances, to bind over the
defendant to the court Of general ses-
sion, that the matter may be then and
there inquired into.
''The enormity If the action Of the
coroner" said the governor, us fur
ther aggravated by the fact, as pub
lished, that Bennett said at the In
vestigation that he thought the object
be fired at was sheriff or a constable
who had come to arrest him, as
though he had any right to shoot
such officers, especially when his pres.
ence in the State was in direct VIOLA
tion Of the terms OF the pardon grant
ed by Gov. McSWeeney and In the face
OF a recent refusal or my part to allow
him to return"
The governor added that for rea.
sons Of policy he deemed it inadvisable
now to advertise the details Of such
action as he will take to apprehend
the fugitive, but be expressed bis un-
qualified determination to exhaust
every resource at his command to
that end.
"Ben Bennett said in conversation
that he kept a good pistol and knife
and that he would never give up. He
would kill himself frs5."
This, from the Hampton County
Guardian, shows the character OF the
criminal now at large.

A DYNAMITE Explosion.

By the explosion Of a number OF
sticks Of dynamite in tunnel being
driven at Pine Hill colliery, in
Pennsylvania, three Austrlans ana
one Tryolean lost their lives. The
force Of the explosion brought down
the timbering and battings, but 1or-
tunately no fall OF coal and de-
bris. The smoke from the explosion
smothered the men. The force OF the
explosion was such as to blow the
clothing completely of OF some OF
them.

EX-BANDIT JAMES
Quits the Democratic Party and
Joins the Republicans.

Joins the Republicans.
Frank James, ex Confederate, ex-
bandit and lifelong Democrat, says
the New York World, at Indepen.
dence, Mo-. In his address to the sur
7iying members OF Quantrells band OF
brush fighters, exploded a political
bomb which all but disrupted the
meeting. Not only did the bandit
renonuce allegiance to the Demo-
cratic party, but to his own native
state as well, which was considered
by the war-scarred veterans as little
les than treason.
Had not some Of mis- friends forcibly
pushed him from the crowd, the court
house yard in the Independence might
have been the scene OF a conflict re-
calling border days.
1t has been known among MS
friends that since the Missouri legisla,
ture folr years ago refused to elect
James door.keeper Of the lower house
be has been sore over the de1eat.
Holding his hands above his neaa
Wednesday, he shouted to the Old
time Quantrell followers:
''I have been in Ohio, Pennsylvania
and other states we had learned to
hate because they gave birth to the
Federal troops we hated so well, and
their people have treated me like q
man. But here in Missouri, among
my own people am unhonored.
Then why should l not turn tc
the belief Of. the people who have in
my declining years proved my friends.
am an ex-Confederate and an ex,
guerilla, boys, but am no longer q
Democrat. This year l vote the
straight Republican ticket from
Roosevelt down the line, the same as
the people will vote it who have beer
my friends in OHIO, Pennsylvania ane
other states"
So deep was the wound that James
inflicted on the veterans that when
the old followers Of Quautrell helo
their annaul election OF officers later
they refu' ed 10 honor the ex-aandl'
with the title OF captain.

VOTE IN BISCUIT FACTORY.
POLL OF BROOKLYN BRIDGE.

The Brooklyn Bridge roll is rep
resentation Of the great army that
daily crosses that structure. Parker
there makes heavy gains. Or the 43O
persons declaring themselves Parker
leads Roosevelt by 80 votes. These
same people in 1900 gave Mckinley a
majority Of 224. The change is due
to the return Of Democrats who bolted
in 1900. Fifteen Of the l03 who
voted for Bryan in 1900 will have none
of Parker. One Of these, a bookkeeper
in wholesale clothing house, said,
Roosevelt believes in the people, and
is to my mind nearer Jetfersonian
Democracy than Parker. "
II have voted the Republican ticket
four times" said a Brooklyn lawyer,
but I am against Roosevelt because
be acts without regard to the legisla-
tion OF judicial department. OF the
Government.

Asked to be Recalled.

The London correspondent Of The
Guardian says the report Is gaining
ground that Count Cassini, the Rus
sian ambassador to America, has
asked to be recalled from Washington.
The reason given is the difficult rela-
tions existing between him and the
officials Of the American government.

the minister had ordered the field

TIE WEATHER AND THE CROPS
No Material Change In Average
Condition Of Cotton.

The following is Section Director
Bauer's weekly crop bulletin:
The week ending s a. NJ, August
22d, had a mean temperature OF so
degrees, which is also the normal for
the week; there was slight deficiency
IN temperature on the coast. The
extremes were a minimum Of SO at
Batesburg on the 18th, and maximum
of SO at Batesburg, BlackVille and
Bowman on several dates. The sun
shine averaged about IS per centum
of the pcs iole aud was very beneficial
after the recent cloudy weather. Hail
and high winds did considerable dam
age locally on the 18th, from Aiken
county westward to Oconee, and in
Williamsburg; also in Georgetown on
the 10th.
There were quite general showers
mostly in the form Of thunderstorms
on the 18th and 10 h, with heavy rain
locally in nearly every part OF the
State, and there were occasional light
showers on other dates except the last
two of the week. which we're practical
ly without rain. Lands and crops
were damaged in a few places, but
generally this weeks precipitation
was not unfavorable, although week
Of dry weather would prove beneficial.
The average precipitation was below
normal, with, however, excessive
amounts in localities scattered over the
whole State.
The general condition Of corn is
slightly better than heretofore, and
the weather enabled considerable fod
der to be saved from old corn; all
reports on young corn continue favor
able so that good crop is practically
assured.
There is no material change in the
average condition of cotton, for while
on sandy lands it continues to shed
excessively and rust Is spreading, the
plants are turning yellow and are dy-
ing in places, and In many places have
ceased to fruit, on red lands there is
a marked improvement in fruitage
and growth, though the weed is too
large on clay lands generally and some
fields have become foul, and while the
bottom crop is light, the middle crop
Is heavy. Bolls have begun to open
in the southeastern counties and some
cotton has been picked, but picking
will not be general in these sections
until about September lst. Sea-island
cotton Is blooming profuseiy and is
well fruited.
Tobacco curing is practically finish
ed. The crop was very satisfactory
one. Early rice is ready to harvest
and late Is heading; the crop has I'm
proved and is now an average one, or
better. Peas, pastures and late gar
dens are doing well. All minor crop
are very satisfactory. A heavy rain
damaged truck in the Georgetown dis
trict, while in the Charleston district
more rain would be beneficial. There
is every indication Of heavy yields OF
all kinds Of forage crops. Late fruit

Cotton is King.

It is said that probably never since
the Civil War has there been such SUI
fering as now exists in Old England
and New England among cotton
operatives and manufacturers. The
New Orleans Picayune says: There
have been many years when English
spinners have reaped great prohts
from the low price OF Amer can cot
ton, while at the. same time Ameri-
can producers who had the cotton to
sell were driven to desperation. Now
the boot is on the other leg, and the
conditions are reversed. The foreign
spinners suffer because OF the high
prices, due to consumption outstrip-
ping production, and producers are
reaping the benefit Of the enhanced
value OF their product.
OF course, present strained con-
ditions will disappear and the vari-
GUS branches OF the trade will readjust
their relations with each other. The
increase in consumption will stimu-
late production, and in course Of time
the supply will again equal the de-
mand, and with the backward swing
OF the pendulum the other extreme
will be reached and ovsrt reduction
will again give spinne rs an advantage
over producers. There is, therefore,
nc rsason to feel any too much con-
Germ over the present dis ress OF Brit
ish spinners." We do not believe
that cotton will ever 60 below the
cost OF production again as 1t did a
few years ago, unless some business
depression that occurred then occurs
again. Under normal conditions OF
business we do not believe that the
South can produce cotton crop large
enough to depress the price OF the
stable below a living figure.

Oh his return from St. Louis, Gov.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE VOTE.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1904-08-31

terial, it would take every one Of
these eleven and one quarter million
bales ii. e. the maximum CROP for at
least three seasons to restore normal
parity in the relation between raw
material and manufactured. In sup
port OF this contention I may quote
from the first of a series OF articles on
the cotton requirements Of Great
Britain now being published simul-
taneously in the New York Times
and In the London Times the follow
"'lst. Stated in a single sentence,
the present position amounts to this:
The worlds supply Of cotton is no
longer equal to the worlds demand:
"'2nd. The estimated yearly in-
crease in the demand IS put at from
400, 900 to SOC, coo bales, and not only
is the present production inadequate,
but in another ten years an additional
5000, 900 bales may be required.
Lancashire's shortage for the last
year or two may be put at !, 100000
bales.
':For the foregoing reasons, coupled
with the fact that the south is in q
position OF greater independence than
heretofore for the exercise OF souud
discretion in marketing the coming
crop, with means at hand for holding
whatever cotton it may be considered
desirable to keep off the market, my
deliberate conclusion Is that the south
is abundantly able and ought to tz
as the minimum price for the first
movement Of this seasons cotton 10
cents a pound. By doing this our
planters, merchants and bankers Will
be in position to get the benefit OF
any rise due to climatic OF other con-
ditions which may be developed while
the crop is being picked.

Two Killed in a Fire.

Thurber, Texas, June 3.-About
O'Clock this morning No. Triple was
destroyed by fire; origin of the fire
unknown. The dynamo engine room
and fan was saved. No lives lost in
the mine. While clearing the burnt
timbers away later Ed Thomas and
Henry Long were killed. Partially
burned timbers above the mouth of
the shaft gave away unexpectedly and
crushed out lives of both men. Thomas
lived only few minutes, being crush
ed across the hips. Long was killed
instantly. Mr.. Long leaves wife
aud three children, the relief branch
of United Mine Workers of America
looking after. Mr.. Longs family.
Thomas as far as known had no Iela-
tives. Both men were well known
and liked here and will be buried to-
morrow by the United Mine Workers

Good Service.

A good meeting was held at the
tabernacle last night. Rev. Willis
preached a strong sermon from the
twenty seventh chapter of Matthew,
twenty second verse, "What shall 1
do then with Jesus, which is called
CHRISTI" He impressed upon the au-
dience the responsibility of every man
in answering this question. At the
conclusion of the sermon, large
number of men, women and children
protested religion, and answered the
question of the text by accepting
Christ. 1t was possibly the most dem
onstrative service yet held during the
big meeting that has been going on
now for two weeks.
Ten prayermeetings are being held
every afternoon in different parts of
the city, and two services daily at the
tabernacle.

THE
HOME MERCHANT
One Thousand Dollars in Trade
Goes Out of Palestine In
Two DAYS.

The local merchants of Palestine are
little sore today, and justly so.
When charity organization is to be
supported the home merchant is call
ed upon. When new church is to be
built, when call is made for help in
any work, the local merchant has to
put up, yet when a foreign house
sends its agents into the field, offering
pound of tea, and a set of dishes for
so much many people fall over them
selves to get in the game, and the
home merchant is forgotten until he is
needed to help again. Suppose some
fine morning the local business men
should say to these people, get these
Chicago and Houston houses to sup
port your charity and build your
churches, etc.?
The Herald does not believe any
thing is saved on these out of town
orders; most of them are fakes in
some way, because no firm can sell
you goods at less than wholesale cost
without making it back on you in some
way.
This game is an old one, but is
worked over and over, and someone
always gets caught.
Give the home merchant your trade.

The Meetings.

Last night there was not quite as
usual, but the interest was greater
than ever. The pastors have decided
to make tomorrow red letter day in
the meeting. There will be three
at II O'Clock, one at
1880 and the big night service at s.
The afternoon service is for men and
the subject will be Gospel Base Ball."
All men are especially invited to this
meeting. The Ladies conducted full
dozen prayer services today. Pastors
request that all church services be
called off for meetings.

Was Accommodating.

John Miller, negro, was taken in
out of the wet yesterday by Sheriff
Watts, and, too, right when his BUSH
ness was best. Miller seemingly had
a special devotion to harness and such
things. He had accumulated set of
harness belonging to E. B. Parsons,
one belonging to the Visitor force,
one belonging to Chas. Rogerson, a
saddle, etc.; also pair of lace cur
tains, silver knives and forks,
curtains, etc. Sheriff Watts has re-
covered the stolen property, and
thinks he win be able to place a num-
Der OF other charges to the credit of
Miller. 1t looks like Miller has gone
the way of all transgressors.

A TRAIN LOAD
OF VEGETABLES
Have Been Shipped From Pales-
tine Up to Date, and the Ship
ments to Continue.

While noting what other diversity
ing crop sections are making their re-
cords, and being commented on, it is
well to take note of what is doing
here at home along this line. It may
be matter of interest to many of our
people to know that up to date Pales-
tine has shipped in round numbers a
solid train load of potatoes and cab
bage. Last night the fifteenth solid
car of Irish potatoes was loaded, and
sent on its way to the markets A
Herald man inspected some of the po-
tatoes loaded yesterday, and we feel
safe in saying no finer potatoes were
ever put OH the market.
In addition to these fifteen cars of
potatoes, three cars of cabbage have
been loaded and sold. These cabbage
are as fine as were ever grown in any
country, and are bringing good prices.
These shipments will continue for
some time, and Elkhart and Neches
and other county points are doing as
well.
Pretty soon the tomato and peach
crop will begin to move, and then the
will be much larger.
Old Anderson is coming 10 the
front.
