SPIDERS Terrible Bite.

Young Robert Mulvihill, the
son of Mr.. Jas. Mulvihill, the
barber, came very near losing
his life Sunday on account of his
having been bitten by a very
poisonous spider. The victim
suffered agonies and his whole
body turned black. After steady
work lasting about five hours
yesterday, the sick boy was
brought out of danger by DR.. j.
G. Going, who was called in.
The spider is of ordinary appear
ance, differing only from others
in that it has red spots all over
it's body. Through the bite of
the same species several persons
in this community have been
brought dangerously near to
death, and one man died at the
Excelsior Knitting Mills some
time ago as a result of a bite of
this kind. The spider will be
sent to the director of the United
States bureau of Entomology at
Washington for inspection and
examination.

Roomed in Building, and

Spartapburg, Oct. 9.-Fire was
discovered in one of the rooms
OF the first floor of the west wing
OF Wofford college last night
about 8 O'Clock. The room Was
occupied by U. B. Millican and
another student, both of whom
We're at church. When the
lanes Were discovered, a trunk
IN the room belonging to MILF
can was consumed and the fire
was SPREADING up to the ceiling
ABOVE. Prompt and effective
work on the part of students in
cottages near by and the police
prevented a confagratinn, which
would in all probability have re-
duced the historic institution to
ashes. In the room was found
the tray of Millican's trunk and
from it was tin box in
which he kept a valuable cold
watch and a lot of private cor
resspondence. This was clearly
that robbers had en-
tered the room in the absence of
its occupants, broken open the
tr,sEk and in striking a match
mad allowed the fire to fall in the
trunk on top of lot of com
bustible material like clothes and
stationery. Some clothes were
also missing.
This morning the tin box and
letters addressed to Mr.. Millican
were found in a gully in rear of
the cottages behind Woford COL

Near HOned pdlu.

Wreckers are plotting The
death of passengers and train
crews on the Columbia & Green
vile division of the Southern
Railway. Two attempts to ditch
trains were made on Sunday
morning, two miles north of
Honea Patch.
Train No. II, which left Co.
lumbia at 8 o'clock, struck near
Honea Path a piece of iron known
in railroad parlance as a bumper
kunckle, which had been placed
on the rail. The pilot knocked it
aside without damage, and when
the train reached Belton, the en-
gineer told the engineer of train
No. Is which meets No. IL there
to look out for trouble. Moved
by his brother-engineer's caution
the driver of train No. Is slowed
down in passing the danger zone.
The bumper knuckle had been
replaced on the track, where it
would have ditched the engine if
it had been running at ordinary
speed. The train was stopped
and the piece of iron picked up
and carried to Columbia. The
crew of neither train could find
anyone near the scene and there
is no clue to the guilty persons. -

The Choral CInb Enter

The music lovers of Union as
well as those who wish to spend
a pleasant evening in a DELIGHT
tul way are looking forward to
the entertainment to be given bv
Miss Elizabeth Grimball. the elo-
cutlonist, assisted by the Union
Choral Club. The program will
consist of vocal music and in
strumental, the violin figuring in
the latter. There are many ex-
cellent voices in the Choral Club
and they will be heard to splendid
effect on Friday evening. Miss
5E.llzabeth Grimball, who formerly
lived here, is everywhere recog-
nlzed as an incompatible artist
IN her work and has no peer in
South Carolina as an elocutionist
Among the selections which She
has rendered with telling effect
IS that beautiful lyric of James
Whitcomb Riley ''An Old Sweet
heart of Mine" and it is to be
hoped that this will be included
on the program.
The entertainment will take
at elght-thirty on Friday night
in the opera house. Tickets are
on sale at Dukes Drug Co. and
the prices are twenty-five, thirty

Col. John Thomas will be un-
yelled near White Stone on the
18th instant. On that occasion
an address will be delivered by
that learned scholar of South

Thomas, it will be remembered,
was a famous Tory fighter and
in this section of the state during
the Revolution had no equal in
courage and bravery. To this
day many interesting traditions
in regard to him are handed
down. The monument will be a
fitting commemoration of the
services of this distinguished
soldier and patriot.

Bio Real Estate Deal.

An unusually large transaction
in real estate took place this
week when Mr.. R. A. Jones, a
wide awake young business man
formerly treasurer of the Ratliff
Dry Goods Company here and
now about to open up a large
general merchandise store in the
Townsend building next door to
the Peoples Supply Company,
bought from Mr.. Macbeth Young
four large and valuable lots. The
first of these was the desirable
space next to Nicholson's bank
and in which the park is now
situated. The old laundry site
was the second. The last two
lots are on Virgin street next to
Mr.. G. G. May. All these are
desirable locations and are valua-
BILE property. The value of real
estate in Union is speedily going
up and this investment, though
large, was an excellent one.
Mr.. Jones stated to a TIMES
reporter that he might build g
large storehouse on >the lot next
to Nicholson's, though he is vel
undecided about doing so just
now.

South CdrOIina'S
EARLY Crop.
The Farmers Are HOldina
With Determination - En-
COurdging Reports from
Carolina Counties.

Cotton is holding it's own in
South Carolina. The market has
been playing around nine and a
half and ten cents but few farm
ers indeed have yielded to the
temptation and sold their crop.
Recent reports gathered by The
State indicate clearly the incli-
nation Of the farmers of the state
as we'll as all over the south to
hold cotton until it reaches the
price desired and required by
the Southern Cotton Association.
The fact has been brought out
this M year esf Ksnprts Kagp atbaft the fEp9 af
that a large proportion of it has
been gathered at this time, much
more than is usual before mid
October.
The reports are long and full,
but after a careful perusal of
them will come the deliberate
conclusion that eleven cent cot
ton is on the way and that the
people will hold till the last
minute. The people of the south
have a natural monopoly and
they are going to show the world
that the people can combine and
fight and win. Over the snow
of southern summers, as cotton
was called by a famous South
Carolinian, there soon will break
the brighter dawn of prosperity
for the whole people.
We synopsize briefly the re-
ports for the benefit Of our read
erS:
The farmers are holding in
Sumter, though the prevailing
price is 9 3-4 cents. The market
receipts show an increase of
1000 bales over last year.
In Marlboro county the cotton
crop this year is much larger
than that of last year. The
farmers there are determined
and organized. Cotton is selling
there at $50.
In Kershaw there has been a
gain of 2,000. Here the farmers
have been selling, but what they
have not already sold they will
reserve for high prices. The
average price for middling here
is 9 Ia cents.
In Greenwood there is gain
of 5000 bales over last year.
:, Most of the farmers are holding.
The prevailing price is 9 IL.
In our neighboring county OF
Cherokee, there was cotton re-
ceipts of 1000 last year, and this
year they amount to $500
Farmers holding. Local market
price is 9 ga.
Florence is holding well anC

THE SOUTHERN AUTUMN.
Pretty Pen Pictures of
Georgia Scenes.

uSOFgld scenes.
The following from the pen OF
Rev. A. w. Bealer is clipped
from the Atlanta Journual. II
might just as we'll be a picture
OF our prosperous Palmetto
[ State.
The evening time has come.
There's a sweetness to the
breezes that sweep upward from
the Gulf. The streets of the
beautiful little city of Thomas
vile are filled with smart vehicles,
IN which women and children, all
IN white, are being whirled about
from place to place on pleasure
bent. The sun is moving in
majesty adown the western
sleeps; he marches along an am
Der colored pavement over which
the Lord, to beautify his path
way to the doors of darkness,
has thrown a veil of pink and
purple nueS.
The birds are chirping on every
side and from the gardens before
the stately palace of the million
aire as well as from the doorway
of the humble laborer's cabin,
where he rests beneath their
roses bloom in prodigal profusion
to delight the passing stranger
with their CHEEKY smiles.
This is fall time in wire grass
Georgia.
But wait!
The sun has gone and night
has come. There's a hush over
all the town broken only by the
far away lowing of a belated cow
upon her homeward way, the
lazy bark of a dissolute cur upon
his nightly rounds, the far away
plant of a negro's voice singing
a plantation hymn that goes
quivering upward toward the
listening stars; and now, soft and
sweet as the cooling of babe
just awakened from his nap, |
hear the first timid notes of the
song of a sleepy mocking bird.
1t floats dreamily from his airy
perch within the china tree and
it seems as if, in his dreams he
had caught the echo from some
angelic choir and was seeking to
reproduce it. The song grows
stronger and bolder, but there's
about it a minor strain that is
not heard in his daylight song.
AS he sings he wakes his own
soul as we'll as all the listening
night, and for an hour or more
he rivals and even excels the
prima donna Of the stage, as
he, without money and without
price gives a grand open air con:
cert to all who live within souno
of his voice. He awakes neigh
boring warbler. and then another
and another until the silent night
is vocal with the voices OF these
peerless singers of the south. Il
seems to me, when at last tht
songs have been hushed that ths
very hills should laugh and tn
trees of the field should clap thel
J hands in applause.
While you walk along tn
streets passing the flower gar
dens that are blooming every
! where the are lilies, unknown t
f northern latitudes and the nigh
blooming cereus send out thel
perfumed breath to ride upol
