by the neighhors, but these stories are
unsubstantiated.
Another possible way Of accounting
for the crime is that Matte started out
for walk with some acquaintance,
who. failing to gain his ends, strangled
the girl to prevent her cutlery.
The whole affair is a deep mystery,
and the ncighborhood is plunged int ,
excitement as well as sorrow.
Miss Hackett was well known ami
her character was always above re-
proach. The neighbors speak of her
as being universally beloved.
Whatever later developments may
disclose, the community is thoroughly
aroused and will prosecute the affair
relentlessly to the end.
The Hackett homestead is located
about one mile from Kent's Hill on the
road to Rcadield Corner, and Mr..
Hackett is considered one Of the pros
porous farmers of the community.
Mrs. Hackett, with the younger chill
dren two girls and two boys was call
ing in the evening on the Coles, near
neighbors of the Hacketts.
About Is minutes past o'clock, .hey
were thrown into CONSERVATION by Mr.
Hackett entering and crying out that
Matte had been murdered.
Fastening back to the scene where
the stranger was still waiting, Mr.
Hackett together with him went to the
home of Arthur Nickerson, who in
company with mis- brother immedi-
atcly went to the Hackett place, while
other members Of the family spread
the alarm in the neighborhood.

Columbia has lately developed q

Birds of a Feather.

A little story is going the
rounds about a local newspaper
In a nearby town which published
a paragraph stating that a certain
business man was in the habit of
hugging his lady typewriter, and
that if he didn't quit it his name
would be published. Before the
next paper appeared, twenty-six
business men called, paid up
their subscriptions, left orders
for twenty-six columns of adver-
tising and told the editor to "pay
no attention to foolish stories. .

News from JOneSviIIe.

JoNBsvILLE, September 25.-The
weather is all that could be desired
and the short crops are being gath
cred in a hurry.
Last Saturday the two ginneries
here in town ginned 50 bales OF
cotton and it nearly all went on the
market at 10 cents. Today the
market is 10 is cents.
Mr.. James Black is drilling a
we'll for the new hotel. The well is
now about one hundred feet deer
and will be drilled several feet
more.
Mr.. J. S. Kendrick has bought
Mr.. Munro Horns dwelling on
Harris street and will move into il
soon. Mr.. John johnson has rent
cd Prof. Ackermon's new dwelling
and will move to our town.
Mrs. J. l.. McWhirtcr started
this morning for San Francisco,
CAL, to attend the meeting of tho
Daughters of the Confederacy.
Miss Lola Asmctt, of Pacolet,
who has been with the Bee Hive, in
Spartanburg for some time has taken
a position with the J. J. Littlejohn
Co.'s store.
Mrs. j. B. Foster and three chill
dren, who have been visiting in
Augusta have returned.
Mrs. J. F. Betsill, of Cross Keys,
is visiting her mother, Mr.. G. B.
Fowler.
Many people of our town are sor-
ry to hear that the Union Cotton
Mills are in financial trouble.
There is but very little of the stock
owned in this town.
Mr.. Il. G.. Johnson. superintcn-
dent of the yarn mill, has resigned,
and is succeeded by Mr.. G. H.
Fairbanks, of Columbus, Ga. Mr..
johnson has many friends in Jones'
who will regret to see him leave our
our town.
Mr.. Willie Altman and his sister,
Miss Kittie, have returned from
Westminster, where they have
been working in a knitting mill.
Mr.. 7. A. Littlejohn had tenant
house burned not long since, which
was insured in the Farmers Mutual
OF this county and in less than two
weeks Mr.. Littlejohn received a
check for his loss. Our County
Mutual is on a solid basis and is
stronger every month,

and selling it was all right, but
when the tide turned and the little
bargue returned freightcd with
losses it was all wrong. Again, the
output of the mills have not been
such ready sales, and taking into
consideration these fluctuations in
prices of cotton and cloth accounts
in great measure for losses. The
losses were not confined to the mills
ef the South or the North, but
some of the mills of England had to
close and the owners actually had a
meeting, and were considering the
advisability of moving their mills to
America, and further these English
capitalists were contemplating going
into cotton growing in the United
States. 1t was crisis that cntailed
great loss to buyers and manufac-
turers, and today the stock of very
few mills is at or above par, but on
the contrary below. 1t has also
been the practice of cotton mill
companies in elccting a president to
elect him treasurer also, thus COM
bining the two officers in one per-
son; this we presume was done
from an economical point of view; /;
but they have in more instances
than one found it to be unwise, and
changes haye and will be made in
this respect.

In another column we reproduce
from the News and Courier an ac-
count written by Mr.. August Kohn
in reference to the recent excite
ment about the Union and Buffalo
Cotton Mills, which we think is as
near correct as can be written at
this time.

TRIBUTE TO WHOM
TRIBUTE IS DUE.

For the past three weeks, possibly
longer, the city of Union and some
of her sister cities have been rife with
speculative gossip, and madam rumor
has danced upon her head, hands
and heels in grotcsquc contortions
as though suffering from some hid
eous nightmare. The madam has
spun small threads of truth with
ropes of untruth so intricatcly in
her wild spcculations that the fab
ric woven from this combination
presents tangled web of uncertain
ty, az Il result of which her dcvotccs
arc still puzzling over future devcl-
opments. Characteristic of an un-
grateful people who are so easily
imbucd with the spirit and senti-
mcnts of the world S cold charities as
to forget the bcncfaction when mis-
fortune overtakes the bcnefactor and
are more ready to blame for failure
than to praise for past success.

high or low, rich or poor, to manip-
ulate Il traffic or do anything dctri-
mental to the general interest and
welfare of the entire people and for
the same reason we cndeavOr to pay

performance of what we think has

and commcndation
Prior to the organization of the
Union Cotton Mills several unsuc-
ccssful attempts were made to get
up sufficient stock with which to
organize and begin the erection of a
cotton mill. This situation was
only relieved and an organization
perfected when the present prcsi-
dent came in with his liberal sub
subscription and was elected prcsi-
dent and treasurer. For the past
eight or ten years this mill has been
in successful operation and has paid
scmi-annual dividends since the
second year of its existence. So
successful has this company been,
it has under the same management
built, equipped and operated for
the past five years one of the hand
somcst and most substantial cotton
mills in the South-thc Buffalo
and in addition to this an oil and
grist mill and ice plant at the same
place. A railroad was built from
Union to Buffalo. In this connec-
ton we say that for several years
unsuccessful efforts had been made
to build competing railroad from
some point on the Scaboard rail-
road. The situation in which
Union has been so long placed by
the lack of railroad facilities has
been relieved by the building and
operating of the Union and Glenn
Springs railroad. The railroad was
built by the cnterprising and cner-
getic president of the Union and
Buffalo cotton mills. Now is all
this to be forgotten and remain un-
appreciated by our people? (Do not
understand us to mean that all this
was accomplished by one unaidcd
by others.)
The lands upon which the Union
and Buffalo cotton mills and opera
tivcs houses now stand were old
worn out lands barely fit for goat
pasture, but these lands were sold
to the mill company for u good

Edifh'S New
Hat
By JUDITH SPENCER
The Rurnor Of It.

The Rumor Of It.
Lets all 60 in and have soda water,
Dutch treat!"
"Let's!" cried the girls, and Edith
Days was the only dissenting voice.
Edith wants nothing-but her new
hat!' Maria Alling said, slyly.
The girls asked curiously what Maria
meant.
"She just means that I'm saving up
for hat for Easter; I've been hoard
ing all winter; I haven't spent even
my Christmas money! It's all going
for New York hat-the most remark
able hat that Oldtown ever saw!"
The girls looked at Edith enviously.
While she had no more to spend than
they, she seemed to have everything
heart could desire. They did not real
ize that she had learned to "save the
pennies" until she could buy some
thing really good, while theirs slipped
away for candy, soda water and the
like.
But then,' Edith continued, lit
will not be so extravagant as it sounds.
For while visiting Aunt Nellie last
summer I met her friend, who is in a
millinery establishment in New York.
And she said if ever I wanted stun
ming hat to write to her and she'd get
