derstanding that work on the propos-
ed building should commence at once.
Mr.. Heether promised to see to 1t that
the station Is provided with lights for
the convenience Of night passengers,
and that there will be all necessary
platform room along with proper ap-
proaches to facilitate the loading and
unloading Of freight. The understand
ing is work Is to be commenced at
once. Mr.. Heether blamed the accu-
mutation Of freight at the depot to
the neglect of agents who were more
interested in getting an increase in
pay than they were in attending to
their business properly. Mr.. Caugh-
man exhibited quite a lot Of corre-
spondence showing that the railroad
commission has been hot after the
Southern officials all the while and
sail that Mr.. Wharton would have
been here, but he was looking after
another similar case in another part
of the state.

New York proposes to celebrate the
year 1909, which Is the tercentenary OF
Henry Hudson's entrance OF the river
which bears his name, with a series of
pageantries and obServances which
should attract the world with their
unusual interest, says the New York
correspondent Of the Pittsburg Dis
patch. September Of that year will
see the completion Of several monu-
mental enterprises. The Hudson me-
mortal bridge across the Hudson will
be opened, and also the memorial via
duct across Dyckmann street valley,
which will commemorate the introduc-
tory trip of Fulton's steamboat, the
Clermont, up the Hudson. Then also.
1t Is hoped, fine new park on Inwood
Hill, in which Riverside Drive will meet
the Hudson bridge will be opened and
the state parks farther up the Hudson
at Verplank's Point and Hook Noun
tain. To lend interest to this occasion
reproductions of Hudson's Half Moon,
from Holland, and of Fulton's Cler-
mont will ascend the river, and land
and water parades, in which, no doubt,
half the world will be represented, with
the United States, Great Britain and
the Netherlands leading the march,
will add to the brilliancy and distinc-
tion of the occasion. New York owes
the country and the world first -class
celebration of some kind, and this pro-
posed one is a very good kind.

on their friends and acquaintances last
Tuesday afternoon by quietly driving

Because X Is Ours.

If cotton seed oil were a product of
the middle northwest instead of the
south and hog lard were a product Of
the south instead of the middle north
west, oil would have long since come
into general use for food purposes and
lard would be of value principally In
the making of soap.
The people of the middle northwest
thoroughly understand the advantage
of blowing their own horns and OF
making the most of their own pro-
ducts. They are not going to send
their money abroad for things that can
be produced at home, and they Will
put up with an inferior product of their
own make rather than go off after a
superior product of somebody eise's
make. 1t is because of the principle
outlined in these propositions that the
people of the middle northwest have
been so much more prosperous than
the people of the south.
Go into the north or middle north
west and inquire into the subject OF
fats used for cooking purposes and II
will be found that most of the agricul-
tural people use pure hog lard of their
own raising: the city people use So
called hog lard sold by the packers and
no one will speak as though he knew
of any possible substitute for lard as
food.
Inquire into the subject still more
closely and it will be found that the
packing of pure lard for commercial
purposes is now almost unknown.
There are plenty of brands that are
held out as pure, but in nine cases out
Of ten investigation will show that they
each contain a larger or smaller per
cent of cotton seed oil.
Now we would not have it under
stood that this cotton seed oil is harm
full for it certainly is not. On the con-
trary. it is the least harmful part of
the combination and it is put there
both because ii is not harmful and be-
cause it is so much cheaper than the
pure lard that the mixture can be sold
at a larger profit than would have been
obtained otherwise.
But during these Investigations there
should be no suggestion of the facts
stated else there will be an argument
In the first place there will be denia.S
of the fact that any oil is used in the
best lard and in the second place 1t
will be- claimed that only a small per
cent of oil can be used in any lard
without damage to the product. while
pure oil is absolutely unwholesome for
cooking purposes
That there are reasons for these
things is matter of course. Suppose
the southern people generally realized
that their cotton oil was better for food
purposes than pure lard. to say moth
ing of the mixed commodity, is it like
ly that they would continue to sell
their oil at a lower price without even
inquring as to the purposes for which
higher prices i'm the shape of lard? Is
it not reasonable to suppose that in
stead of doing this they would insist up
on purifying it themselves, using what
they wanted at the lowest possible cost
and selling the surplus at the highest
price obtainable for such uses as the
purchasers might want to make of it?
Does it not seem reasonable that If

Rock HILL, July 5.-About 10 O'Clock
this morning there was an ugly pia1e
In the picker room Of the Bellevue
cotton mill where two hands were at
work. 1t Is supposed that the nre
originated from some foreign SUD
stance getting into the gearing. AS Is
usual in such places the blaze was
fierce for a time but soon burned Out
and was subdued by the autofnatic
sprinkler in the mill. The fire depart
ment was rather slow In getting OUT
and the fire was over before the nre-
men reached the scene.

day session there were q NUMBER Oh

of the teachers that something be
done by the state for the high schooi

elected at the Friday morning session.
In the afternoon one of the most in
teresting things will be the meeting
of the department Of the "Woman's

therefore of much local interest.
The work, however, Is widespread and
the showing made by this department
last year was something wonderful.

About 200 people went up to Gas

Col. D. A. Spivey. while in the city
on his way to Hendersonville, N. e.,
declared that there has been great
deal made of nothing in regard to men,
bers of the investigating committee re-
ceiving certain pay for their services
He was not present at the meeting al
which il was talked over, and If MEM
bers did receive and accept the pay as
members of the committee while the
legislature was in session 1t was done
openly. AS a matter of fact, he de-
clares that Mr.. Lyon ought to nave re-
ceiYed a fee of not less than $500 for
the work he did. Mr.. Lyons services
were worth 1t, he says. Messrs. Lyon
and Christensen not only attended 10
their legislative duties, so far as ne
knows, but they worked until far into
the night preparing for the examina-
tion of witnesses. Mr.. Spivey did not
receive the additional compensation,
but he sees no reason for the attempt
to heap odium upon those who did re-
ceive it-Columbia State.
The sentiments here expressed are
those of a broad. sensible man. 1t has
been the custom of members to ac-
cept extra pay for extra work all the
while and nobody knows it better than
the people who are trying to make
capital against Mr.. Lyon. But after all
Is not this fine tribute to an Abbeville
man that in their sore straits, the peo-
pie he has put to so much confusion
are unable to bring something against
his character and reputation that is
reasonably serious?

BACKWARD TURN
IN CROP PROSPECTS
Intensely Hot Weather Has
Caused Much Shedding

According to the statements OF
several prominent planters, the
condition of cotton in the neigh
borhood of jackson and through
out the entire central part of the
State has deteriorated to a re-
markable extent during the past
thirty days, and the outlook is
now rather discouraging, as COM
pared with the flattering pros
poets prior to that time.
The intensely hot, dry weather
recently is assigned as the rea-
son for this backward turn, the
cotton stalk being parche1 by
the sun, causing much shedding.
Within a short while the stalk
and bloom will be go developed
that rain will not be able to
render much assistance to il, and
the farmers are wishing for a
downpour to remedy the situa-
tion, which will soon become
acute.
Reports from the Delta sec
tions are to the effect that rains
are not so badly needed in those
portions of Mississippi, and that
the weed is yet in first class con-
dition, although shower during
the next few days would be well
come. Clarion Ledger.

WOMAN ARRESTED
WEARING MEMS CLOTHES
She Gave Satisfactory Explanations And
Is Released.

As the east-bound Southern
Railway train came to stand
still at the station in this city
Thursday night, a handsome
young man CD accompanied by
a three year old child, aIighted
and went into the gentlemen 8
toilet. Some one on the train
put policeman Foreman onto the
fact that the young man CD was
a woman. The officer kept watch
for few moments and, notwith-
standing the Information that
had been given was surprised
when the man came out dressed
in woman's attire. She was
placed under arrest and locked
up.
Friday morning further in
vestigation was made. The wo-
man, who is very handsome,
stated that she was twenty three
years of age; that she was rear ed
ina Lamar County Alabama, and
that recently she has been living
in Eupora. She said that she
had donned a mans suit to get
out OF Europa to keep from testi-
flying against young man who
had stol gun and was to be
tried for the offense. She gave
her name as Georgia Jordan and
said that her mother was Mrs.
Fowler, who now lived near
Steenston.
After hearing her statement
she was released ana left on the
noon train for that place.

Hon. John E. Davis, referee
in bankruptcy was here Thurs
day to hear arguments in the
Underwear Mill case, which was
advertised to sell yesterday.
After hearing the arguments
the sale was restrained and the
matter now stands where it was.
The three banks of Columbus
own sixty thousand dollars of
the first mortgage bonds, the in
terest on which were not paid as
per contract, hence they desired
to sell. What the next step will
be is a problem not yet explained
to the public, but the general
seems to be that the
mill will remain closed for some
time.
