VIII Reduce Acreage.

To the Editor Of The News and
Courier: In your issue OF April 3 ap.
pears an article from Holly Hill, S. G..
and head-lined Farmers Will Not
Reduce" Your correspondent says the
acreage will not be cut 80 far as he
has been able to learn. All true, per-
haps, but your correspondent hasn't
been able to learn much about the
cotton acreage. The fact Is Holly Hill
is supported by the lower part OF Or
angeburg County, rs well as Berkeley,
and your correspondent might have
found that the farmers OF Providence
township, In OranReburg County, are
organized, and large majority are
pledged to a cut In acreage.
Some in upper Berkeley, near Holly
Hill, will redrce and most assuredly
the crop will not be as large in acre.
age as last year. We, the farmers
would be glad II all such correspon-
dents would sit quietly and see the
procession go by instead of trying to
tell things they don't know about.

Looks After the Cents.

A simple illustration will show the
care that Is taken Of cents by one of
the big banks OF Chicago. Stamped

OF the thousands OF routine letters
that are written every day is stamped
or sealed until the whole routine mail
OF the day Is assembled In the after
noon. Then all the cards and letters
to one correspondent are put In a
single envelope, and, except for letters
from the officers and the like, the
bank comes as near as possible to get
it's entire mail carried at cents an
ounce or a cent tor every postal card
instead of often paying 2 cents for a
quarter OF an ounce, as it would have
to do II every communication were
sealed and stamped separately. This

Health Laws TO Be Enforced.

County, township and city boards Of
health will In the next few days re-
ceive official notice OF the changes
made In the health laws OF this state
by the last legislature and attention
will be called to the fact that mem
bers OF these boards are now liable to
indictment If they do not do their
duty. At present these boards have
ageneral idea as to their duty, but
there Is considerable negligence in en-
forcing the laws. The state board Of
health, 1T is stated, will look more
carefully into the laws hereafter and
will see to 1t that the sub byaids do
their GUY. The attorney general
has been instructed TO draw up a skel.
eton ordinance which will be sent to
all towns and villages with instruc
items to have such an ordinance pass
ed with slight changes to suit local
conditions. The law now not only
applies to the stamping out of vari.
Gus contagious diseases, but gives
boards authority t. pros .cute for sell.
Ing foods that are unhealthy or tae
keeping or nulsances which are de.
detrimental to the public health. The
enforcement OF the law, however, is
another matter and it is very doubt
full II the laws will be carried out un.
till the state board takes the matter
in hand and forces them to do so.

lives were lost. They were held In
check, however, and the employees in
the other buildings made their es-

ratified up to the factory. a few
moments after the explosion occurred

great mass Of debris, and fell dead.
Two helpers, Michael Hurley and
William Bayliss, working near the
building, also were killed.
The explosion occurred In the dry
house, where primers caps are dried on
long steam pipes. In some manner one

A dispatch from Lord N says the
house OF commons Thursday night
was the scene Of remarkable de-
monstration based upon the defeat of
a government candidate in the bye
election for Brighton, constituency
which for twenty years had not failed
to return conse1 vative or unionist
candidates for parliament by majori-
ties Of two thousand and upwards.
The house had been engaged In con-
sideration OF resolution offered by
Sir William Tomlinson, conservative,
declaring that in View of the peril
to which the industries OF the United
Kingdom are exposed by too great de.
pendence on the United States as the
source OF supply OF cotton, and the
good results Of the operations already
undertaken by the British cotton
growing association, the house desires
TO express Its appreciation Of the bene-
hts derived by the encouragement af.
forded by the government to the as.
sociation and looks to continuance
OF the good offices, as essenti tial to the
speedy development of the resources
of the colonies, dependencies and pro.
tectorates for the maintenance Of
employment in one of the greatest
national industries"
A number Of the members spoke in
support Of the expansion OF the Brit.
ish cotton growing territory. Mr..
Emmett said the cotton growers of
the United States already were jeal-
Gus OF the success of the experiments
In the West Indies. While a some.
what desultory and uninteresting de.
bate was dragging on there was
rush OF opposition mem oers from the
lobbies shouting with Joy over the
liberal victory in Brighton. "Villiers
is fn!" was the cry, which was re-
ceived with great cheering. Premier
Balfour, who was just then entering
the house, was greeted with shouts of

had been speaking when the inter

that since 1902 the production Of cot

had not relaxed Its efforts looking tc
further increase. He trusted that

the Killing of Oliver.

Conductor Charles Oliver OF the
Southern railway freight which left
Columbia for Charleston at s. rs o. CLOCK
Thursday morning was struck and
killed about o'c'ock Thursday after
noon by his brakeman, William Mickle,
1t S5ilton, three miles above Orange
burg. Mickle is young white man
about FL years Of age and says his
home is at Camden. The conductor
was about 80 years OF age. married
and goes out from Charleston.
Mickle has stab In his left shoul-
der little over one inch in depth,
which was inflicted Uy Oliver during
the difficulty. M ckle says that the
conductor became provoked with him
in connection with his efforts to
remedy hot box, which had delayed
the train and that the conductor stab
bed him without provocation. He
says that he had nothing whatever
with which to defend himself from
the assault of the conductor and that
he retreated about the length OF the
engine, then he picked up from the
ground an iron, between one and two
feet in length, and threw 1T at the
conductor, hitting him on the head
The conductor was killed by this blow,
his skull being crushed.
The fact OF the killing was tele-
phoned to Orangeburg from Stilton,
and Sheriff Dukes, with deputy and

and was informed after he reached
Orangeburg OF the death of the con
ductor. After he was taken to the
sheriff's office, the wound In his shoul.
der was dressed by DR.. Hydrick.
Mickle regretted very much the
death Of the conductor and seemingly
feels deeply the result of the unfortun-
ate difficulty. Mickle has been run.
ming as brakeman over the Southern
for about two years, and says this was
only his second trip with Oliver, whom
he had known for some time. Oliver
had been In the service OF the South
ern for several years. The other wit
ness to the alteration between Oliver
and Mickle practically substantiates
the statements of Mickle.
The body Of Conductor Oliver was
brought to Orangeburg Thursday az.
ternoon. The freight train was also
brought to OrapgeburR and sidetrack.

Rickenbacker was notified at once and

koully Murdered.

jeff D MADISON, we'll known negro
brick layer, was shot through the
heart and instantly killed Saturday
night at about $50 o'clock. Donald
son had just returned home from
North where he has been for the past
two weeks engaged in his profession.
He lives in the surburbs OF this city,
and was killed upon his door step by
party or parties as yet unknown.
Donaldson bore good reputation as
a peaceable hard workirg mason, and
while 1t is true that he has been in
some trouble in the past, he has never
seemed to be Ct a rowdy nature. 1t
Is said that when he returned to his
home Saturday night, all of his family
had retired and that the lights were
out. He called to his wife to let her
know that he had arrived, and she re-
piled that she would get lignt and
open the door. This she did, Don
aldson, it is said, had reached the
steps when the door opened and as the
light II >oded the pathway to the gate,
a piS oil fired, and lie fell forward upon
his own door step, shot through the
heart. He expired almost immediate
ly. Sunday coroners jury was EN-
panellcd, viewed the body, and took
all the evidence possible in the case.
Nothing OF much Importance was de.
duced and the usual verdict in such
cases was renlered. The whole matter
has been turned over to the Shcrifr's
Oil ;e as the killing occurred outside
OF The incorporate limits. The case is
being worked up and it is probable
that an arrest will soon follow The
