SEEDLESS APPLE COMPANY
ENLARGES CAPITALIZATION

Al the present time the Spencer
Seedless Apple company, of this city.
controls and operates seventeen nur-
series covering thirty-six states
While these nurseries are owned and
managed by independent companies
they are still under the control of the
parent company in ,Lis city.
To operate these nurseries. which
Will be enlarged to comprehend a
general nursery business. requires
a larger capitalization than the COM
pany has at the present time. The
original stock of the company was
100000 shares. which Is far too
small TO operate the nucleus of what
can be made the largest nursery bust
ness in this country. therefore the
proposition is being made TO the
stockholders. at a special meeting
TO be held to enlarge the capitaIiza-
ton to S3,O0O,000. With this a.
mount of stock the business can be
managed and operated on a larger
scale than ever before.
When the company first began to
sell the rights to the various states
of the union, it very wisely reserved
for itself fifty-one per cent. of the
capital stock of each and every one of
the subsidiary companies These
companies in the various states, some
companies controlling one or more
states. have established as has been
stated these seventeen nurseries for
the growth and propagation of the
seedless apple and it has been found
that the company might as well en-
gage in the general nursery business.
With the increased capitalization
ii can be done and the Spencer seed
less Apple company become more
important factor in the nursery bust
ness than ever before.

DEsPoNDENT OVER ILL HEALTH
SHE COMMITS SUICIDE.

Miss Electa NJ. jenkins. aged AZ
years. committed suicide Yesterday
afternoon at the residence of w ii
Dilley, one OF the most prominent
ranehmen of the Clifton community
shortly after one o'clock yester-
day afternoon Miss Jenkins informed
some member OF the Dilley family
that she had Just taken large
quantity of strychnine. and evidently
repented her rash deed. asked for
IA physician TO be summoned.
DR.. Griffith. who resides at Clifton
was at home at that hour and was
summoned Immediately. He reach
ed the bedside OF the unfortunate
woman within a few minuetes and
found her suffering greatly.
Miss jenkins informed the doctor
that she had taken strychnine with
the intention of killing herself as her
health was such that she could not
provide for herself and therefore had
no desire to live. However, now that
it was too late she seemed to repent
the deed.
On making an examination Dr..
Griffith stated that the. young lady
had taken arsenic instead of strvch-
nine. thorough investigation PROV
ed that the physicians theory re
garding the nature of the poison was
correct.
All efforts to stay the influence of
the deadly poison were in vain. The
arsenic had gotten in its work before
the physician arrived and when DR..
Griffith reached the Dilley home he
could be of but little service to the
dying woman. About half-past one
O'Clock she passed away.
a call was sent into town for the
coroner and in the absence of Coro-
ner Knude Hanson. Justice of the
Peace J. F. Byers left for the Dilley
home to investigate the case.
After viewing the remains and
hearing the statements of the memb-
ers of the family and Dr. Griffith
Justice Byers announced that. in his
opinion, no inquest was necessary as
the evidence proved conclusiyely
that the woman met death from pois-
on administered by her own hand.
Undertaken Gourley was summon
ed and took charge OF the remains.
He prepared the body for burial and
it will be shipped this evening on No.
6 to Coon Rapids. Iowa. near which
place is the old home of the deceas-
ed. The interment will take place
there.
The deceased was held in high re
gard by the people OF the Iowa COM
munity in which she resided, and she
was well known to many of the Iowa
people now residing in the valley.
About six months ago Mrs. Jen-
ldns came to the valley for the pur-
pose of making her home with the
family of her uncle, w. H. Dilley.
For several years she has been in
poor health and at times became very
despondent II is thought that yes
terday in brooding over her i'll
health she became temporarily in

10000, 900 nARnELs OF BEER

According TO a report just issued
10000, 200 barrels of beer We're CON
sumed in the United States during
the past year. This fact might be
used as a telling temperance lesson.
aud when It is considered that this
is an increase of 100000 barrels
over the preceding years consump-
tion of beer. those temperance people
and w. c. T, T. leaders who declare
that the country is in grave danger
of being overwhelmed by the drink
demon doubtless felt that this asser-
ton is greatly strengthened.
However there are many who see
in the increase of the consumption
of beer and the corresponding de
crease in the consumption of whiskey
and other spirituous liquors n very
hopeful sign.
Regarding the matter the New
York Sunhas the following to say:
"a growing understanding of the
dangers of even moderate Indulgence
in hard liquor and an increasing
tendency on tn part of employers to
demand practical abstinence from
drink among their employees account
for the present demand for compar-
itavely innocuous drinks and the de
crease in the sales of the more pow
erful stimulents.
"a very large number of wage
earners in America by the terms of
their contracts with their employ
ers and bound to abstain from intoxi-
cants. keep out of saloons and lead
lives of temperance and sobriety.
This number is increasing annually
as corporations realize the danger in
volved in committing important tasks
to men with fuddled minds. Com

Russia Refused

Portsmouth, y. H, Aug. So
The actual work OF framing the

International lawyer and NJ. Dennison,
VINO has for twenty-five years acted
as the legal adviser of the Japanese
foreign office. The treaty is expect
ed TO be completed by the end of the
week.
This happy conclusion of the con
ference which. week ago would
nave been shipwrecked. had IL not
been for the heroic intercession OF
President Roosevelt. was sudden and
dramatic. For the sake of peace.
Japan with the magnanimity of a vic
tor. at the last moment yielded every
thing still in issue. Russia refused
to bulge from the ultimatum EN-
peror Nicholas had given to Presi-
dent Roosevelt through Ambassador
Meyer. No indemnity under any
guise, but an agreement TO divide
Sakhalin and reimburse Japan for
the maintenance of the Russian pris-
oners We're his last words. They
have been repeatedly used in Mr.
Witte's instructions and i'm the form
OF written reply to the japanese

Komura this morning. Mr. Witte
Went to the conference declaring he
WAS powerless to change the dot OF
an ''i' or the cross of a "t' in his in
structions. Emperor Nicholas word
had been given not only to him, but
to President Roosevelt, the head of
a foreign state.
When Baron Komura, therefore.
first offered the new basis of COM
promise outlined in the Associated
Press dispatches last night. CThe
complete renunciation of indemnity

demption of Sakhalin at a price to be
fixed by a mixed tribunal conven-
tion consisting of representative OF

ing words, the solution offered by the
presidentD Mr.. Witte again returned
a non possomus. 1t was what Mr.
Witte termed in his interview with
the Associated Press the "physolog-
ical moment" Mr. Witte did not
finch. He expected a rupture and as
he expressed it afterward. he was
stunned by what happened. Baron
Komura gave way on all the disputed
points. With the prescience that has
enabled the Japanese to gauge the
mental progress of their adversaries
on the field of battle and upon the sea
they had realized in advance that
peace could be obtained in no other
way. They had warned their gov
ernment President Roosevelt had
also. IL is believed advised Japan that
it were better to meet the Russian
position than TO take the response

purpose of collecting indemnity. The

Is the Cost of Living Higher

During the national campaign of last
year Republican authorities made en-
phatic denial of the charge that living
had grown more expensive, and the
Government showed the falsity of the
accusation by striking a medium be-
tween socks and meat and cuff-bottons
and bread, so that if we could eat all
we could find compensations for the
rise in beef and flour. But we are now
exploiting our love for England surely
she would not deceive us, and we mix
with her remarks some observations
from those standard authorities for
the party, the Chicago Inter Ocean
and the Springfield Republican, to pro-
duce the following chowder:
The British Government has increased
the salary of Sir Mortimer Durand,
British Ambassador to the United
States from $32, 800 to $36, 900, as re-
suit of representations made to the
Foreign Office by Sir Mortimer on his
recent trip to England. At the same
time an additional $1,000 a year has
been granted to the first secretary of
the British embassy at Washington. -
The British Foreign Office carefully
explains that the cost of living in Wash
ington has so increased within the last
few years as to make these additions
necessary.
If for 1.-The cost of living in Washing
ton" were substituted "the stardard of
living" no possible exception could be
to the statement. The further COM
ment is reported from London by the
service of the Chicago Inter Ocean that
the Washington court" as it pleases
some of our English cousins to call it,
is regarded as no more democratic just
now than any other court in Europe,
and that it is considered as costing more
to keep the pace of lavish entertain
ments there than even in Paris or Ber-
In. Here is an interesting view from
outside this democratic republic Of ours,
but no one who has had any opportunity
to observe for himself will question it's
entire accuracy. Attention has been
called repeatedly to the burdens which
the present Washington standard puts
upon the higher public servants, par
ticularly the Senator'S who are not
miliionaires. Few men are content to
be continually under social Obligations
they can in no measure repay. In fact,
there are cases now of trained and
valuable men in the Senate without
large private resources, who feel that
they cannot much longer bear the bur-
den and must retire from public service
to repair their slender fortunes. The
situation is painted graphically when
we are told that the lavishness of the
Washington court" exceeds even that
of Paris or Berlin. Florida Times-Un-

Floral Festival at Union.

BY her lavish hospitality and enter
prise, Union has attained much noto-
riety of late, particularly during the
recent session of the Women's Fedora
tion, and in view of this the following
taken from Union "Progress" about
the coming Floral Festival, which has
grown to be an occasion of such wide
interest, will be of interest to Laurens
readers:
"Interest increases in the Annual
Floral Festival to be held here Thurs
day and Friday, June 18th and 10th, not
only locally but throughout the entire
state, and the prospects are bright for
it being a beautiful festive occasion,
largely attended. In connection with
the Festival the 150th anniversary of
the county will be celebrated.
On account of the inability of many
farmers in the county and operatives
in the mills to give more than half or
quarter of a day off on Thursday and
Friday, it has been decided to have the
program contain attractions for after
iloonS ana evenings only.
Open air concerts will be held morn
ing and evening, and if negotiations now
pending with one or two out of town
bands are completed, one of the best
bands and orchestras in the state and
the South will be secured and concert
will be given Thursday night at the
opera house, an admission being charged
which will go toward defraying the ex-
penses of the Festival.
The program Frida.' afternoon will
begin at A O'Clock, by the bands, and
at O'Clock the Floral parade will form
in line in the court house square, where
the Queen will be crowned by Governor
Hayward.
The decorated vehicles, in many in
stances, it is understood, will be elabo-
rate and beautiful. Heading this part
of the parade will be the float of the
Queen attended by her maids. Great
interest is being manifested in the vot-
ing for the Queen.
Closing the Festival will be a grand
ball.
Special railroad rates have been APP
piled for and it is thought will be
granted.
In order that all who desire to remain
over night can be Accommodated, cam
vasser will probably be put out to-mor-
row so see every home in the town to
know if they could take any dodgers or
furnish meals; if so, their hours and
charges.
