DR., e. X. HARDIN.

The last issue Of the Batesburg Ad-
vocate contains the following notice
of DR.. E. K. Hardin. who died at
Glover last Friday morning:
When the news was flashed across
the wires this a. m. that DR.. Hardin
was dead there was stiffness that
could be felt-our whole heart was
plunged into sorrow and grief. Dr..
Hardin's name was a household word.
in this town and whole community
for years and years.
The writer first met him at this
place in the early seventies, while
he was here attending a district
conference. He was then about
eighteen years Of age and was called
the baby.
In a short while after that he was
happily married to Miss Ida Clink-
scales of Abbeville, s. c., and came
to this town and taught school Tor
three or four years; from here ne
went to Blackville and taught for a
few years. After that, he studied
medicine in Charleston and Balti-
more, and after graduating he came
TO this place to practice his profess
sion, which he did with marked sue
cess up to a few years ago, when ne
was stricken with a fearful malady,
which finally resulted in his death
at Glover, S. c., to which place he
had recently moved. DR.. Hardin was
an ideal husband and father and 1t
was his great delight to see all OF
his children grow up and fit them
selves well for the duties Of life.
He was a great friend to the poor
and distressed and did much to re-
lieve suffering humanity, without
money and without price. He was
a strict and consistent member OF the
Methodist church and was always
ready to contribute Of his means to
advance the cause of Christ on earth.
His chosen profession was one that
was honored and respected by the
Man of Sorrow and acquainted with
grief" for he selected Luke, the be-
loved physician. to be his disciple
and from that time to this those who
follow that profession with an eye sin
gle to Gods glory, have been honored
and respected. So 1T was with Dr.
Hardin. He was ever ready to go
where duty called to alleviate the
cares of those who were racked with
pain.
DR.. Hardin Is survived by a de-
voted wife ard the following children:

BERT PICNIC.

AS usual, the annual Woodmen OF
the World picnic at F,ilbert last Satur-
day was a big success. There were
more than 1000 people In attendance
from the country surrounding for
distance Of ten or a dozen miles. and
the day passed off most pleasantly.
Messrs. D. c. Clark, ]. D. Smith. j.
D. Clark. Leslie Smith, JOS. w. Smith,
A. ]. Parott, ]. B. Neil and others had
general charge of the affair, and they
with others, saw to 1t that everybody
present was made as comfortable as
possible.
There were four speeches, two In
the forenoon by Rev. DR.. j. H. Thorn
well and Hon. D. E. Finley, and two
in the afternoon by M. B. Jennings
Esq, and Thos. F. McDow. Esq. DR.
Thornwell spoke particularly on
Woodcraft and what he had to say
was full Of interest to everybody. Mr.
Finley INDUCED in general pleasantries
and was both interesting and enter
tanning. Messrs. Jennings and McDow
talked of common schools. the jury
system and other matters. Mr.. D. c.
Clark presided.
At dinner time the big crowd sepa-
rated in groups, and everybody pres
ent got a plenty.
The refreshment stand did a good
business taking in about SIS, Of which
probably $35 was net.
There were several constables on the
ground to preserve order but they were
not called upon to make any arrests.

UP So A BALE.

There was lively time on the New
York Cotton Exchange yesterday
principally as the result Of reports OF
unfavorable weather conditions. The
developments of the day are thus de-
scribed in a cotton letter telegraphed
from the exchange last night:
There was an advance of about $2
a bale in the cotton market today ac-
companied by considerable activity and
the big bull leader forced the covering
of smaller shorts, who were apprehen-
sive of crop damage owing to rains In
the western and central belts. The
opening was firm at an advance of 16
to 20 points in response to the rain
news and higher cables. At first the
market met with considerable opposi-
ton. There was selling by wire houses
with southern connections, also by
spot houses, some of the larger profess
sionals seemed to be putting out ad-
ditional lines Of short contracts on
scale up. The early map showed
heavy rains at only two or three points
in the belt, and while private reports
claimed heavy precipitation over more
important areas, smaller bulls showed

- Information as to the extent

- Information as to the extent Of
the crookedness Of the administration
OF Supervisor Speegle, Of Greenville,
grows as the investigation proceeds.
It developed last Saturday that the
salary of DR.. w. j. Bramlett, as coun-
ty physician was $50 a year. Yet the
books show that during 1904 he re-
ceived between $500 and 500 for
performing surgical operations In the
county jail. When closely cross
examined last Saturday, DR.. Bramlett
could remember but two surgical op-
erations, and he claimed that the
books he had kept for five years pre-
vious had been lost. Chairman Pat
ton of the investigating committee
has information that the supervisor
received $3.50 for work done for the
Paris Mountain Water company with
the chaingang and that he put the
money in the bank to his personal
credit. The sum Of 500 received
from Chick Springs Hotel company
was disposed Of in a like manner.
Speegle was bonded in a security
company for $1,000 for each term
and 1t Is thought that the security
can be made to respond to
the amount Of the bond.

VICTORY FOR THE SOUTHERN.
First Blood In the Railroad Merger
Cases.

Judge ]. C.. Pritchard, Of the United
States circuit court, heard argument
by counsel last Thursday on the de-
murrer Of the Southern Railway COM
pany, cited to appear here on that
date, and show cause why receiver
should not be appointed for the South
Carolina and Georgia branch Of the
Southern, a road running from Char
lesion, S. c., to Augusta Ga. Argu-
ments were made by A. H. Ackerman
and R ]. Southall, of South Carolina,
for the complainant, and Col. Thorn
Of Washington, and Mr.. Abney Of
South Carolina, for the Southern.
At the conclusion Of the argument
by Mr.. Abney, at 4.30 this afternoon,
Judge Pritchard said:
1.-The court has considered the facts
and finds no cause why a receiver
should be appointed for the South Car
olina and Georgia The demurrer Is
sustained; the rule citing the Southern
to appear and show cause why a re-
ceiver should not be appointed Is dis
charged, and the complainant Is taxed
with the costs"
The hearing today on the complaint
of q stockholder Of the Southern Rail-
way residing at Augusta, Ga, that the
treasury Of the Southern was being
depleted by reason Of penalty suits in
stituted in South Carolina against the
Southern for violation of the merger
law and asking that a receiver be ap-
pointed for the South Carolina and
tion in railway circles. Practically all
of the high officials Of the Southern
were here. The party Of officials that
came last night in a special train Of
private cars included President Spen-
Ger, First Vice President A. 3. An
drews, Fourth Vice President c. H..
Ackert, Fifth Vice President T. c..
Powell, General Manager H. B. Spen-
Ger and General Counsel Thorn. 1t
addition to the Southern officials a
number of South Carolinians were
present.
The argument Of the counsel for the
complainant was based on the penalty
laws of South Carolina; 1t was alleged
that penalty suits were pending
against the Southern; that the South
ern was at great expense in defend
ing these suits and that already about
100000 in suits had been instituted.
The complainant, stockholder In the
Southern. asked for relief by the ap-
pointment of a receiver for the South
Carolina and Georgia railroad.
The counsel for the Southern denied
that 1t was at any expense in defend
ing penalty suits; that there was only
one suit pending in South Carolina on
the account of the lease: that the lease
by the Southern of the South Carolina
and Georgia was authorized by a spe-
cial act of the South Carolina legisla-
ture I'm 1902, and that the merger law
giving citizens the right to sue for 500
penalties, passed in 1897, was repealed
by the act Of l902.-Charleston News

of the more general wet weather and
prices during the morning were some
what irregular. Selling some five or
six points off from the early bulge,
they rallied again, however, and In the
afternoon the market was generally
strong on partial confirmation Of the
wet weather news by government re-
ports and rumors that a firm had Is
sued a crop condition report pointing
to a yield Of not over 9,500,000 bales
The close was four or five points off
from the top, under realizing, but
steady in tone at q net advance Of 80
to 80 points. Sales were estimated at
SOC, 900 bales.

FASHIONS OF THE DAY

Inc day of crepe de chine has passed
and few of the many gowns for even

full fabric. for it has evidently had its
day. No longer do the fashionables
care for the soft fabrics which chung
gracefully about them, for now all the
evening gowns measure so many yards
around the bottom that shall not tell
how many for fear some man might
read this, but the number is simply
staggering.
Soft and fiimsy silk mulls and chiffons
in all the seven primary colors are seen,
and these In turn are accordion plated,
and that takes an awful lot of stuff.
Then around the bottom of this Dlait-
ing, and so arranged that il will spread
the full width, are rufiies, sometimes
only one, but then that one Is edged
with lace and perhaps with a ruffie of
ribbon, and this in turn is edged with
lace. Lace is bound to he there any
how. The underskirt is generally ruff
fed, too. so that the whole lower por-
ton of the skirt shall set out widely.

have twenty cores Certainly they are
narrow, but. even so. twenty cores will
