Wife-Beater Shot Dead.

Spartanburg, S. c., Special.-W> c.
Atkins, a prominent liveryman and
business man, was shot and instantly
killed by Chief Of Police Nelson, at
Williamson, 90 miles from Green
vile, S. c., aud between that place
and Anderson. Atkins, it appears,
had been beating his wife in hori-
BILE manner and the woman, breaking
away from him, rushed out into the
street and cried for assistance. Her
voice was heard by the officer, who
came hurridly toward the house.
When Atkins saw Nelson approaching
he drew his pistol and would have
doubtless used it if the officer had not
drawn first, firing one time. The
bullet sped sure and Atkins fell III
his tracks. There was considerable
excitement at first but everything was
about quiet when latest reports were
received.

derous assault was made by an un-
known negro at } O'Clock Monday

Sallie A. Gibson and her mother, Mrs
Julian, living unprotected at their
home, 2126 Main street. The negro
knocked at the front door and when

with piece Of iron, but in spite of
being seriously wounded she put up {

those of her mother, who retreate,

ton is that the motive was robbery
rather than criminal assault.

Following Recent Conviction in Ohio
Court for Illegal Combination,
Judge Banker Imposes Simply
Maximum Pine Prescribed by Law
for One Days Continuance of the
Offense.

Findlay, o., Spccial.--ln probate
court here, Judge Banker overruled
the motion filed by the attorneys of
the Standard Oil Company for a new
trial and imposed fine of $1,000
and costs OF tic prosecution III the
recent suit against the Standard Oil
Company held here. On motion Of
the defense, the court ordered that
the defendant company be allowed 20
days III which TO prepare and file It's
bill Of exceptions IN the ease, and
On another motion by the Standard
attorneys the sentence imposed was
ordered suspended for period Of 60
days for the purpose Of filing a pc
tition on error in this case. 1t was
also ordered that the criminal infor-
nations pending against John ID.
Rockefeller, the Buckeye Pipe Line
Company, and the Manhattan Oil
Company, be continued until the next
term of court.
The fine imposed by Judge Banker
was the limit for one offense, though
the law stipulates that each day that
the alleged combination business is
carried on constitutes q separate Of
fense. Taking this view Of the stat
utes, it was possible for the court to
impose an aggregate Of fines amount
ing to over $6,000,000.

President Moore Discusses Cotton Sit
nation.

President Charles c. Moore, Of the
North Carolina Cotton Growers As
sociation, says: Cotton growers
made a fight for 10 cent cotton and
won. The man who grows cotton has
as much voice in fixing the price as
the one who buys. We may expect
hard knocks, but will receive full
value for this years crop if we re-
fuse to sell on a decline and hold
prices firm by selling only on an ad-
vance market. We won our fight by
holding cotton from the market at g
price less than value"
