REWARD OFFERED FOR THE BOOKS.
Sensational Meeting of the Directors of
Union Cotton Mill.

| UNION, Nov. 11th. THE directors of
the recently recognized Union and
Buffalo cotton mills at Union had a
long and interesting session today,
somewhat sensational. The following
directors were present: VIM. Winches-
ter, of Baltimore, H. c.. Fleitman, Of
New York; L. III. Rennie, of Granite
vile; E. w. Robertson, of Columbia;
Emslie Nicholson and t. C. Duncan, of
Union.
Somewhat of a sensation was created
by the offer by the directors Of re-
ward of $1,000 for the return of the
several valuable books of the Union
cotton mills with evidence to convict
the. person taking the books. One thou
sand dollars reward will be paid for
merely the return of the books. These
books disappeared from the Offices some
weeks ago.
1t was announced at the close of the
meeting that the cotton contracts of
the Union cotton mills had been closed
out at price ranging from 8. 60 to 9.96.
These contracts called for S8, 600 bales,
enough to last the mill seven years,
and were made in July by former
President Duncan at the price of IL
cents.
The directors also requested Col. Dun
can to move out within the next ten
days the Offices of the Union Power and
Manufacturing Company and the Union
and Glenn Springs Company from the
Offices of the Union cotton mills.
1t was also decided that the salary
which has been paid to Col. Duncan di-
rect since the reorganization should be
stopped.
Campbell Courtney son of Col w.
A. Courtney, president of the Ches-
well mills of Westminster. was elected
director and a member of the execu-
tive committee in place of Mr. John A.
Law of Spartanburg who recently re-
signed that position.

DR.. IRBY MAKES APPEAL.
Join Ranks with the Cotton Grower and
Garry the Fight on.

To the Citizens of Laurens Township:
Again l appeal for financial aid for
the Cotton Association. Some have
responded very literally, but too many
have failed. l need not remind you
what the organization has done for you.
When this struggle began last spring
cotton was 1-2 cents, but in the face
of the largest surplus the world had
ever seen the price was pushed steadily
upward to 10 cents by July. The cause
of the cotton grower is the cause of us
all. Every section not already organic
ed should get in line.
In this struggle for the dearest inter
est of our country you cannot, with i'm
punity, stand aloof. You cannot afford
to let this battle go OH to either success
or failure without having part in the
fight. Surely you will not be listless
looker-on while this struggle for our
very existence goes on all over the
Southland, reaping the benefits of 9TH
er's labors and bearing no part of the
burden. This is not merely a summer
campaign. This fight must be kept up
with unremitting vigilance, and with
the mightiest energies of the bert brain
and manhood of the South. Allthrough
the winter, all next spring, all through
the long summer, and even then, the
end will not be in sight. To sell our
effort will mean defeat. You are not
asked to make sacrifice, but to work
for your own interest.
We must have means to carry on this
work. The small sum of three cents a
bale is asked. A sum so small as to
never be missed by you, but which may
mean much for your country.
Pay your money to Treasurer C. A..
Power. If you can't find him, to any of
the county officers. If you can't come
send it by your neighbor.

President Laurens Township Cotton
Association.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

The suggestion of the ministers OF
Dawson, printed i'm the local de-
partment of THE NEWS, with reference
to the curbing of cruelty to animals
is we'll worthy of the hearty and prac-
teal COMMUNICATION of every citizen.
The man who will wilfully mistreat
a dumb brute is the same sort of fell
low who will hit another when he's
down. He's coward, every inch of
him. More than that, he is an incu-
bus upon society. He ought to be
treated as such. There are compare
lively few of them, thank goodness, in
the world.
There are a great many people who
thoughtlessly mistreat dumb an
imals. They are sorry for it when the
second thought comes. But as the
Irishman would say, 'the second
thought ought to come first" Let US
hope that such will come to be more
the case.
Public sentiment is a strong thing.
The sentiment as expressed by the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals has done much to diminish
such brutal treatment. Every man
ought to belong to it, in practice if not
in name, and every person in Dawson
ought to make it practice to do his
or her part in stopping the mistreat-
ment of animals. There are many
ways to do this. One is to suggest a
ahing or two to the malefactor. An
other is to report such conduct either
to the owner of the animal or to the
authOrities-Or to both.
THE NEWS sincerely trusts that the
suggestion of the Dawson ministers
will be needed, and that every man,
woman and child in the town will ally
themselves in an effort to prevent
cruelty to animals.

United States Commissioner Held They
Had Not Committed Crime

United States Commissioner Held They
Had Not Committed a Crime.
New YORK, Oct, 28.-United States
Commissioner Ridgeway discharged
Frederick Peckham and Moses Haas,
charged with having conspired with
Edwin S. Holmes, Jr., to defraud the
government by securing advance IN
formation of the governments cotton
report.
The commissioner held that neither
of the men had committed a crime
within the meaning of the statutes.
1t was in defense of Peckham and
Haas that their lawyer quoted a por-
ton of President Roosevelt's letter OF
acceptance in which the president had
decided that there was no common law
of the United States that could give
jurisdiction of offense in a federal
court.
The indictment against Holmes
charged him with misconduct, which,
he declared, was not an Offense
known to the federal statutes.
