was arrested Sunday morning by
Constable d. F. Camp, on a charge
Of burglary. Myers confessed to en-
tering Stover's book store last Fri
day night, and also to entering Pier

Charlie Munce, Hero.

Just because Charlie Munce had
nerve enough to tackle the fellow
who was holding loaded revolver to
his head, he escaped holdup late
Saturday night. Munce had return
ed to the barn with his express
wagon after meeting the late e. &
S, train. AS he started to unhitch
his team, man suddenly jumped
out from the shadow of the barn,
and aiming a revolver at the head OF
Munce, with an oath ordered him to
throw up his hands. Instead OF com
plying with this command, Munce
dropped the lantern he held ana
grabbed the hand that held the re-
yolyer. In an instant he had 1t
wrested from the other fellow, and
turned it loose upon him. Three
shots were fired by Munce at the re-
treating figure. but so far as mas
been learned, none took effect.
Three stores were broken into
night between Wednesday and Thurs
day. Pier Brothers store had again
been entered and two more money
drawers pried open. but nothing
taken. w. d. Fansher's bicycle
shop was also entered, by breaking
open the front door, and the East
Side grocery by breaking open the
back door. Nothing was taken at
either place.

TO SETTLE BOYCOTT.
Hon. John L. McLaurin May Make a
Trip to China.

If the proper support can be secur-
ed from the cotton mills and the
Southern Cotton association, Mr.. John
L. McLaurin, former senator, Will be
sent to China as a delegate or repre-
sentative to inquire into the boycott
of American cotton goods and into the
possibility of extending trade in China
The matter has been under consid-
Grafton for several days by officers OF
the association i'm this state and Sen
a;or McLaurin has been to Washing
ton to talk over the matter with the
president and ascertain If anything can
be done toward lifting the boycott
and increasing trade In China.
Mr.. Francis II. Weston, the secretary
of the South Carolina branch of the
association, said today that the mat
ter had been under discussion for sew
eral days and that while there were
no funds on hand he thought that they
could be raised.
There is nothing political In the
move at ALL" he said, land we simply
believe that Senator McLaurin would
be the best man to send TO CHINA.
This view is shared by large num-
ber of the members of the association
and should be taken up also by the
cotton mills of the south.
Senator McLaurln was hilo"i W NC
opposed to the present exclusion treaty
and a great friend of Minister Wu:
| believe that with his friendship ana
influence he could easily adjust mat
ters and also push Investigations Tor
an extension Of the trade.
THE Southern Cotton association
would also send delegate and the
the benefit to the southern growers
think would be inestimable."
Mr.. Westons views are generally
shared by those who have studied the
situation and it is believed that the
cotton mills will take some action In
aiding the association in the scheme.

Editor J. ]. Hull.

The death Of Mr.. ]. J. Hull Is q dis
tinct loss not only to the town Of Rock
Hill and eastern York; but to the
whole county. and the state at large,
for those who have known him best
and who have most distinctly felt the
influence of his life are best able to
appreciate that he was no ordinary
man.
Mr.. Hull came to York county a
poor printer. He was without posi-
ton, wealth or influence. and 1t would
be unfair to claim that any Of these
things lay invitingly near his grasp.
The disadvantages with which he had
to contend were both great and nu-
merous. and had he not been man of
more than ordinary merit, the splendid
record that ne has left would have been
blank.
The task that lay before Mr.. Hull
on his location in Rock Hill was to
establish a newspaper, and he devoted
himself ito this work. His success was
Indifferent at first. From financial
standpoint, it was probably never very
marked. But bringing to bear as he
did, persistence, intelligent independ-
ence, and devotion to high principles,
it must be conceded that his efforts
were not without success. For years
the Herald has been one Of the cher
ished institutions of Rock Hill and
eastern York and the high regard In
which it is held by hundreds Of fam
lilies is probably the best measure of
it's publishers success.
The guiding aim Of Mr.. Hulrs ca
reer has been the peace, pleasure and
happiness of those around him and es-
pecially the progress and prosperity of
Rock HILL For these ends he worked
in season and out, never hesitating at
any personal sacrifice, however great,
and deriving his greatest pleasure from
the success Of whatever effort, whether
his own or anothers. looking to the
common end.
Personally Mr.. Hull was man of
strong convictions and high principles.
He had his faults, of course; but even
in life these were outweighed by his
virtues which were many. One notable
characteristic was loyalty to his
friends He was too broad and chari-
table to hold malice on account of
either real or imaginary injuries, and
it Is we'll known Of him that he would
ever stand by his friends even to his
own serious hurt.
Death Is always sad, but In a case
like this 1t is especially so. Mr.. Hull
was only in his prime, and just begin
ming to reap the reward Of his years
Of honest effort and toll. 1t seems
that he was cut down in the midst of
his triumphs, and most that was to
have been his on earth was yet to
come. However, it can be truly said
that this faithful worker In the earth
ly vineyard has left to his community
an example of which it has a right
to be proud, and to his family rec
ord that can reflect nothing but high
honor

partially reassured by the claims OF
the scientific people that the disease
will soon be under complete control.
It has been held for several years,
especially since the close Of the Span
lish-American war, that yellow fever
Is transmitted only by and through a
certain species of mosquito. This the
ory received what seems to have been
almost absolute confirmation by the
stamping of the disease out Of Santia-
go and Havana during American oc-
cupation. There have been but few
new cases in either city since the
Americans left.
Immediately upon the appearance
Of yellow fever in New Orleans on July
13, the authorities commenced war
on the mosquitoes. They prescribed
that all cisterns be Immediately COW
cred with wire screens and that all
stagnate water in the city and vicin-
|ity be treated with kerosene oil. A
campaign Of fumigation was at once
commenced in the infected district.
and every conceivable eXpedient was
adopted to prevent the spread Of the
disease.
1t was some days after the fever had
made its appearance before the health
authorities were aware Of its appear
ance, and during that time 1t had
made considerable headway. On the
spread Of the news through Louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama and Texas, the
adjacent cities Immediately instituted
what is known in that part of the
country as the shotgun quaratine,
Passengers from New Orleans were
not allowed to get Off anywhere In
the fever threatened territory and in
some cases. there was serious objec-
ton to the continued operation of
through trains to and from New Or
leans.
During the past two weeks thou
sands of people have fed from New
Orleans; but within the past few days
1t has become a very difficult matter
to get out Of the city. Camps Of de-
.ention have been established at vari-
Gus points, and it is difficult to get a
health certificate until after the appli-
cant has spent ten days In one Of these
camps. Much confusion and friction
has arisen because Of the different
quarantine measures instituted by diff
ferent jurisdictions, and feeling. Of
course, runs high.
All of the coast towns from Charles
ton to Galveston are stirred up as to
the possibilities of an epidemic, and
all have commenced war on the mos
quitoes.

MUST USE REGULAR BALLOTS.

At the request Of Senator Brice. At
torney General Gunter has given his
opinion as to the form Of ballot to be
used In elections held under the Brice
act. The attorney generals letter,
which was received here this morning
Is as follows:
Dear Sir: Your communication of
the 29th instant received. You re-
quest: please give me the benefit Of
your opinion as to the form Of ballot
used In dispensary elections under the
act Of 1904"
Having come to the conclusion in a
communication addressed to Mr.. w.
F. Clayton, commissioner Of elections
to be held under the Brice act upon
the question of "dispensary" or mo
dispensary'' should be conducted as
general elections, 1t follows that the
form of ballot to be used Is that pre-
scribed in section 210 Of the civil code
governing the form used In general
elections, and Is as follows:
1.-THE voting shall be by ballot,
which ballot shall be of plain white
paper two and a half inches wide by
Ave inches long, clear and even cut,
without ornament, designation, mutlla-
ton, symbol or mark Of any kind
whatsoever" and shall be written or
printed or partly written or printed
thereon In black ink. Section I'll pro-
vides that whenever a vote Is to be
taken on any special question or ques-
tions a box shall be provided, properly
lahled for that purpose, and the bal
lots therefor on such questions or
questions shall be deposited therein.
The question to be submitted to be
written or printed on the ballot should
be "dispensary" on one set Of ballots
and mo dispensary" on different set,
as provided for In the Brice act. This,
as l interpret the law. should be the
only Dhraseology on the tickets.
This Is the view taken by this otfice
in advising as to the printing of tick
cts upon submitting the question OF
amendments to the constitution to the
neople and other special elections to
be governed by the general election
law.
AS stated IN my communication to
Mr.. Clayton. the opinion Of the office
Is binding upon no one and Will. OIL
course, be no protection to any officer
Following the views expressed, and
should the proper officers see fit to
act otherwise, then. as expressed, they
are, Of course at liberty to do so and
should follow such advice as to them
seems correct.

SPEEoLE CRITICALLY ILL.-Deputy
Sheriff Ballenger Of Greenville, was In
Hendersonville last Saturday with a
warrant for the arrest OF the former
supervisor OF Greenville county, ]. E.
Speegle, but the warrant was not serv-
ed owing to Mr.. Speegle's condition.
Following the plan agreed upon be-
fore he left Greenville Deputy Sheriff
Ballenger selected a physician Of rep
ute who examined Speegle with a
view to having him taken back to
Greenville II his condition was such
that he could be safely moved. The
physician stated that in his opinion 1t
would be very unwise to remove the
sick man and Mr.. Ballenger then made
no attempt to arrest him. The Green
Vile deputy sheriff did not even go
into Mr.. SPEECHES room, as he was
thoroughly satisfied that he was too
LII to be moved and that any visit
from him might have serious results.
Mr.. Ballenger left here yesterday
morning for Tryon, where he spent
yesterday and today with relatives.
1t Is stated that the news Of the de-
velopments in the investigation of the
affairs In Greenville has been kept
from Mr.. Speegle by his physicians and
family and that he does not know Of
any OF the sensational testimony that
has been published in the papers; he
does not know that his son has been
arrested and released on bond and
that he himself Is under charges His
physician and family have feared the
i'll effects of this news upon Speegle,
who Is undoubtedly a very Ill man with
none too many chances for recovery
1t will be seen, therefore, that the
sheriff of Greenville has taken no
chances In this matter, especially as
the sheriff Of Henderson county Is
fully posted In the case.

All the territory bordering on the

Up to 6 p. m. last Sunday there had

a friendly country Is itself disgrace,
and while she cannot ignore the laws
of a foreign power providing for
such exclusion, she can refuse to
sanction it, or become part of it by
concluding a treaty involving such
restrictions. A year ago, 1t is said'
1t would have been easy to conduct
negotiations with China for the ex-
clusion of laborers only. Now. how
ever, it is understood, the Chinese
officials are disposed to regard the
signing of such a treaty beneath the
dignity of their government. The
reason. for the assumption at Peking
of this new attitude is not quite clear
to the officials here. though in some
circles 1t is attributed to the influence
of foreign powers
