E. G. Hurts, the young deserter
from the United States Navy, who
was picked up here Monday morning
with four white men alleged to have
robbed the residence of Assistant
Superintendent Touchstone at Sem
eca Cotton Mills, WINS turned over to
the authorities at Walhalla yesterday
to be tried at the next term of the
General Sessions Court in Oconee
county.
The municipal authorities were first
instructed by the Navy Department
to send Hurts to Portsmouth, Va,
and transportation was sent here for
the deserter, as well as for a police
man to accompany him, but when the
authorities learned that the man was
wanted in Oconee also, they directed
that he beisent there and held until
after trial, then to be turned over to

Lie Insurance Rates Advanced.

New York. April 49,. An increase
of three to six per cent in premium
rates for policies, which do not confer
upon their holders the right to par
ticipa,e in dividends, has been put
into effect by the four largest life in
surance companies of the country.
The new rates of the different
companies are essentially the same.
On ordinary life policies the increase
over old rates is between five and six
per cent; this is the largest increase.
On limited payment life and endow-
ment policies the advance is between
three and five per cent, varying ac-
cording to the age of the assured.
The advance in rates follows com.
plants made by holders of participat-
ing policies that the difference be-
tween the rates charged for non
participating policy and those charged
for a policy that participates in pro-
fits have in some instance amounted
to more than dividends paid to the
participating policy holder.

Dear Sir: The easiest business in this

customers want your stuff as much as
you want to sell it,; they come in; you
show it and sell it. That's the whole
business, except your buying the goods
Devoe comes next, 1t saves money,
and people like money. They like some
body else's more than their own; they
like to make it more than to save it; they
like to keep it perhaps as well as to make
it.
Buildings rundown fast, without
paint; poor paint is the same. Deyoe is
the means of stopping that leak; a big
one. All we've got to do, to sell Devoe,
is to show that man saves money by
using it.

Union HI. by a Great cyclone.

Union, April 28.-About 6 O'Clock
this afternoon a terrific storm ragged
here for ten minutes and in that short
time great damage was wrought.
That many lives were not lost is mi
raculous. The only person injured
was John Campbell, aged 20, an op-
erative of the Union Cotton Mills,
who was badly bruised about the
forehead and hurt internally by the
falling walls.
The greatest damage was done to
the spinning room on the fourth floor
of Union mill, No. 2, the southern
end of which was blown in for over
100 feet and big strip of roof torn
off. The many children working
there only escaped with their lives
by fleeing when they saw the win
dows beginning to fall in. Eight
spinning frames were injured. The
damage is estimated at $4,000.
In the heart of town the Bethel A.
M. E. church, valued at $1,000, and
the Presbyterian church worth 81, 900
in the eastern suburbs at Monarch, a
mile away, were both totally demol-
ished.
Another colored church, the Ben
Jennie was lifted from its pillars, but
not badly damaged. Many small
buildings and fences were destroyed,
although the principal buildings, resi-
dences and other large mills of the
city were uninjured. No damage
was done at Buffalo.

Ten Miners Killed.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April 26.-Ten
miners were instantly crushed to
death and terribly mangled at the
Conyongham mine of the Delaware
and Hudson Company, in the north
ern part of this city this morning. The
men were being lowered into the
mine when $50 feet from the surface
the rope broke and the cage fell 400
feet to the bottom of the shaft. A
rescuring party found the DO, ies OF
the men at the bottom beneath mass
of debris. An examination of the
rope was made to-day before the first
cage of human freight was lowered
into the mine, and it was found to be
all right. The carriage had all the
safety appliances, but as far as can
be learned the "catcher" did not
work. Eight of the dead were Poles
and two English speaking miners.

Company is nearing completion.

Wha. suIly Says.

10 Ine SoCtOn IrOWerS OF the South:
elf you wish to win your battle
and obtain a fair price for your cot
ton you must reduce your acreage
very considerably.
"You have surprised the world by
the manner in which you have held
your cotton.
"Surprise it again by cutting down
your cotton acreage.
Do not be led astray by the pres
ent steadiness of prices.
"Three causes have contributed to
bring about this rise of more than
one cent pound.
"First. The urgent demand arising
from an unprecedented consumption.
Second. Your courage and wis
dom in making the buyer meet your
terms.
"Third. The belief that you would
cut your acreage to such an extent
that the supplies from this crop and
the growth of 1865 would make
commercial crop no larger than the
world needs.
"The first two causes lose their
force the moment it is known that
there is prospect for moderately
large crop next year.
Even if the mills take 100000
bales during the current season, this
would leave carry over-of 100000
bales. Hence the necessity of a
smaller crop this year.
edo not let any rise in prices be-
tween now and the end of the plant
ing season deter you from reducing
your acreage.
"Such an advance would be merely
anticipating that you were making
the decrease which your friends have
advised you to make.
If the June report of the govern
ment shows that you have failed to
make sufficient reduction the only
persons who would be gamers by the
advance would be the speculators
who sell their futures at a profit.
"The price of the cotton you pro-
duce will be regulated by the actual,
not the expected, reduction.
Don't depend on your neighbor
to do the reducing.
"In this matter of acreage reduc.
tion bear in mind these suggestions !:
"Don't rely on bad weather to cut
down the size of the crop.
"Don't put a large acreage into
cotton simply because it is too late
to plant corn or. other diversified
crops.
"It would be far better 10 let part
of your land lie idle than to run the
risk of raising crop SC large as to
make possible another period of low
priced cotton.
81 am making this appeal to you
because l regard the next few weeks
as critical to the South and because
believe that every man who is inter-
ested in the welfare of the South
should urge the Importance of a re.
duced acreage.

Prize Essay by Mrs. VIM. G. Cary.

Prize Essay by Mrs. Vim. G. Cary.
l do not believe there has ever
been ga model farmers wife," or any
other mans wife, in the estimation
OF the (so-called) Lords of Creation.
For ever since that little apple episode
in the Garden of Eden aud man has
had "to earn his bread by the sweat
of his brow" there has been grudge
against woman, who has made it nec-
essary for man to dig and delve and
reap and SOW. But aside from all
this the ideal farmers wife wields no
unimportant part in the success or
failure of the man who tills old molten
earth. First, she must be economical,
but not penurious. She should be
industrious, but able to plan her work
so as TO have some time for recreation
and the Improvement of her mind, in
order to be cheerful companion for
her husband and children.
We do not think farmers wife
should become drudge, at the same
time it is her duty to look closely to
all details of the house, garden, poul-
try yard and orchard. For these
seemingly little things either make
or break the average farmer.
Another important matter is to be
contented with your lot, and not be
nagging at your husband to "move
to town." for in the country your sur
roundings are pure and away from
thousands of temptations. 1t is all
nonsense to say farmers and their
families are not as intelligent and re-
fined as those who are city bred.
The records of the past show that a
large per cent of the famous men and
women were reared in the country.
The ideal farmers wife will see to it
that her children are educated, but
not trained to be above their sur
roundings, but rather to dignity labor
and to feel that living honestly
earned is the surest way to happiness.
Another important matter the
farmers wife should use her influence
in every possible way to prevent her
husband going in debt, for debt has
crushed out many otherwise happy
homes. / am sorry to have to admit
that in many cases the mothers and
daughters let their love for frills, fur
bellows and trinkets lead the man of
the house into debt. No model wife
will allow herself to want more than
her husband can buy for her.
The prudent farmers wife will en-
deavor to save something for that
"rainy day" which is sure to come
sooner or later.
An ideal farmers wife will see to
it that her house is kept in order and
made attractive with flowers, vines
and music if possible. Of course the
farmers wife will want her pin
money as well as any other woman
and no model man should ever med
die with the money accruing from
the chickens, eggs, butter, fruits,
bees or vegetables.
So if the farmer expects his wife
to be an ideal companion he should
bear in mind that she is an equal
partner in the family purse as we'll as
co-worker in all the ups and downs,
joys and sorrows of even an ideal
journey through this world.
