trees, care for and preserve trees
for their beauty, for the comfort
they afford us and for their util-

DR.. Boldridge also made a few
remarks on the subject. The
hundred er more persons present,
in addition to the 400 school chill
dren, all enjoyed the occasion to
the fullest. Arbor Day in future
promises to be with US big oc.

who heartily CO. o.operated with him
and to Miss Stewart, who was in
charge of the music, for tn. sue

ArbOr Day Observed.


Arbor Day was obsel we'd b.
the graded school here yesterday.
The exercises were most sppropri-
ate and the program very inter-
esting. :
At 10 o'clock the town and
mill schools, umbering about
400, we're marched to the campus
where six beautiful young water
oaks wero planted by scholars of
the more advanced grades, being
named by them for the trustees;
one, furnished by Hazel elFerguson
and James Taylor, being named
by the school for the orator of the
day, Rev. w q Neville. The 9Th
grade furnished two trees naming
them for Col Leroy Springs and
VT Gregory; the 9Th. named
their tlee for q T Connors;th 7th
for TS Carter, and the 9th for w
j Cunningham.
After the planting Of the trees
the regular program was carried
out in the school chapel. 1t con-
sisted of appropriate songs, rec
itations, and an essay by one of
the pupils, Mr.. Dan Laney, on
the Trees of South Carolina. ! 1t
was we'll written and thoughtful,
treating on kinds, beauty and value
of our trees.
These exercises being conclud-
ed, Rev. DR.. w. G. Neville,
President of the Presbyterian
College of Clinton, the orator OF
the day, was introduced, aud made
q most excellent address, his SUBJ
ject being the great Importance oi
observing Arbor Day as lessor

An Unfortunate Difficulty.

A difficulty occurred at the do
pot here last Wednesday morning
between Mr. Walter Hough andMr
VIM Sowell, in which both young
men were painfully injured, the for
mer being shot and the latter be-
ing cut in the arm and shot in the
leg. Mr.. Rough's wound, which
probably entered the lung, it was
first feared would prove fatal but
he was doing 80 we'll the following
morning that it was thought no
risk to move him to his father's
home at Kershaw from Mr.. l.. s.
Elliott's where ho was taken i'm
mediately after the difficulty. Mr..
Sowelps wounds consisted of
knife wound in the arm and
pistol shot wound in tho leg, the
latter being made by Mr.. Sowell
himself while Mr.. I Hough had
grabbed the pistol and the two
were in a scuffls over it. 1t was a
very unfortunate affair and is
much deplored, The two young
men are first cousins. Both are
getting along very we'll.

NOT SINCE THE WAR
HAS SUCH PRICES PREVAILED
Cotton Futures Went Humming Far Up Toward
the IS Cents Mark

New York, Jan. 20.-Cotton prices
surpassed all previous records since
Civil War times again to-day, when
March sold at 14.4S cents, May at 1A54
cents and July at 14.61 cents.
The further advances were attended
by considerable activity and excite
ment, but the market soon became
quieter, and it seemed that the trading
was more largely for professional than
for public account.
The opening was firm at an advance
of 10 to % points, following cables
about 10 better than expected, reports
of a continued spot demand and esti-
