EXPLAINED.
Why Judge Pshasld Was Sent 70
South America.
IS TO REPORT on TRlDBCONDINOBS.



Washington, Sept. 1.-THE mission
Of Judge Pen6eld to South America,
who Is to be sent BY the president, Is
discovered to DO Of prime Importance.
1t develops that In connection with the
visit and the subject matter be is to
look into, the president has q scheme
not only for quieting all discussion Of
tariff changes, but for meeting the de-
ficiency In the revenues during the com
ing year. - rt
Much mystery has ben thrown about
the mission OF the state department
solicitor. It Il now known that he will
go to various South American couD-
tries to make an investigation into tho
conditions maintaining In each which
affect in any way our trade with them.
The most important portion Of the
judges trip will be that which will
take him TO Brazil. He will investigate
the action Of the Brazilian government
In a number Of important particulars.
with q view to advising with the presi-
dent as to the best measures TO b.
taken to meet the present situation.
II was stated in one quarter that Presi'
dent Roosevelt believes that a reason
able tariff duty can be collected on Inn
portations Of coffee, and that In that
way the entire deficiency now existing
In the treasury can be met. Itfspointed
out that duty Of but three cents would
yield approximately $4,000. 900, while
II the government levied tax OF five
cents pound ON coffee it would yield
$50, 100000. Such a step, 1t Is believed
here, would be a reasonable one, and
could be taken without injury to any
American interest or the working OF
hardship on the American people who
consume coffee. Its incidental benefits
would be great, for II Is believed 1t
would greatly stimulate the production
Of coffee in the Philippines and in
Porto Rico, which would not be az
fected by the tariff duties assessed.
The president believes that the ac-
ton Of Brazil In levying some Of her
duties was not In the friendliest spirit
toward this country. and II will be- the

No Doubt But That the Wholesale
Dry Goods Co. Will Open
IN TIME FOR THE
COMING FALL TRADE

Over the Territory and Will Act
Upon the Matter as Soon as
the Results are Known

The fact is now almost assured
that Greenville will, by next fall, get
the big wholesale dry goods establish
ment mentioned in last weeks issue
of The Times.
The territory is being gone over
thoroughly by men of capital and that
kind of business experience, who will
finally determine on what action they
will take in plenty OF time to erect
their building and get men on the
road before fall
Like the wholesale grocery busi-
ness which has so successfully sue
ceeded during the past, the dry
goods wholesale business Will also
succeed and we will be glad to an
nounce the date when the start will
be made on the new building.
Start the business. gentlemen, and
you will find every citizen a town
crier for your business at home and
abroad and it will be but few years
before you will have to enlarge your
warehouses.
Greenville and the Delta needs a
wholesale dry goods house and with
the river and railroad facilities it will
/ do the business.

AN EVENT
IN MILLINERY
NELM & BLUM CO. EXCEL ALL
THEIR PREVIOUS SPRING
OPENINGS

The millinery display of the great
Nelms & Blum Co. establishment on
Monday and Tuesday of this week
was an event in the history OF the
Greenville hat and trimming trade.
The commodious parlors, presided
over by Miss Cecile Robinson, assis
ted by Miss Youngblood, were ,hro@n
open to the public, andfor two days
were thronged by constant stream
of ladies, including, it is safe to say,
every one in Greenville.
The display of millinery was too
extensive and beautiful to make any
thing like detailed description pos
sible in the limits of newspaper no
tice 1t is also unnecessary, for the re-
membrance was far better impressed
upon the beholders by the actual ex-
animation of the many beautiful crea-
tons than could be done by any
words.
Messrs Nelnls and Blum so thor
oughly understand the needs and pre-
ferences of their clientage that every
degree OF taste and extent Of purse
found something to please and satisfy.
Many of the hats shown were of Par
isian creations, models of the leading
artists of that city, whose fiat fixes
the fashion and directs the taste OF
the whole world The shops of New
York had been searched for contribu-
tions to the immense stock of the com
| pany, and IN addition to the already
trimmed hats bewildering display ot
articles of millinery was offered-rib.
bons, flowers feathers, ornaments Of
| all descriptions.
The widespread interest created b,
the event was the most eloquent tri
butte to the completeness and beaut,
of the collection 1t was withou
question one of the most elaborat,
and extensive exhibitions of its kim
ever seen in Greenville.
Many of the hats on exhibition wer,
sold at once, but scarcely any differ
ence is noticeable in the beautiful dis
play, the place of the hats sold bein,
at once filled by others, and the mil
linery parlors are still and will 70
some time continue to be a favorit
and fascinating place of resort for th
ladies of Greenville.

BUFFALOGNATS
AND CHARBON
Are Doing Great Harm in Various
Parts of the Delta
OLD THEORY OF ORIGIN
KNOCKED OUT
1t was Supposed That the Gnats Came
From the Water, But This Sttppo
sition Proves False This Year
as the River is Still Low

Much complaint Of the prevalence
Of buffalo gnats comes from various
parts of the Delta, and considerable
loss of stock is reported from this
cause and the disease of Anthrax or
Charbon, which always accompanies
the pest.
The gnats are mystery. 1t was
formerly held that they bred N tn
water, in districts that were over
flowed, and never appeared except IN
such conditions This claim IS dis
proved by the present plague; ior the
river has not left its banks.
1t would, it seems, be an interest
.ing task for the entomologists OF the
Government to take UP the study OF
this pest; and, if possible, contrive
some plan for protecting the lower
Mississippi Valley from its ravages.
