A Difficulty at the Mollohon Cotton Mill
Results in a Serious Affair.

John Goldman. a section hand at
the Mollohon cotton mill. was cut
with a knife and dangerously
wounded Saturday by Robert
Seymour, another Of the employees.

twenty-five years of age, and un-
married. Seymour is aged about
hfty-fve years, and has a family.
Goldman was cut twice in the back

ante-mortem statement.
The difficulty occurred in the
spinning room of the Mollohon
mill. Goldman says that Seymour
walked in and reached around
Young lady who was between him
and Goldman and cut Goldman in
the back. just above the kidneys
and inflicted another wound in
Goldman's left elbow. It is diff
cult to learn the exact cause of the
difficulty. Seymour says that
Goldman had mistreated his (Sey-
mour's) little boy, who was work.
ing in the mill, and had hit him.
1t is stated to your correspondent
that Goldman's friends claim that
Seymour's son was not doing his
work correctly, and that Goldman,
who was section hand, told him to
take his hat and coat and leave,
that is all there was in regard to
the matter.
Seymour was arrested and was
lodged in jail on a warrant issued
by Magistrate Cannon G. Blease on
an affidavit made before Magis-
trate Blease by Special Officer S. J.
Glenn. He is spending tonight in
the county jail.
Goldman is resting we'll today
and it is thought he will recover.
He has the attendance Of trained

miles from Newberry court house
and a: a spring in this Woodslo~ H.:
looked up and saw on sugar tree
the name, Obediah Jones, with the
date Oh It which ne has forgo.f>l:
and he was surprised and gav> an
exclamation. An old man stand
ing there observed it and SAID.
"what do YOU know OF him.? and
from that conversation many corr-
tesies were shown the company.
The owner Of this lot was John
Hare, an old man. We wish to 10
cate the son and daughter of this
John Hare. The daughter was mar
ried, the son lost one limb in the
army of Virginia. We wish to get
the address of any of their descend
ants or the address of anybody in

Knight in the years between 1895
and 1900; he moved to Oglethorpe
county. Georgia; he held many
prominent positions and was wor-
thy the government preserving his
picture in the library of congress.
Any little research about that pc
Rod may disclose something of in

Is there a record Of man in that
county by the name of Judge
Knight?

of his descendants. I hope on ac-
count of the historical interest and

Cotton seed was distributed gener-
ally throughout the country by the
British Cotton Growers Associa-
ton. and the Transvaal Agricultur-
al department. The years growth<
in various parts Of Swaizeland
proves that the climate and soil are
congenial and that the plant will do
we'll in most parts of the country,
and once cheap transportation is
available there will be every en-
couragement for the establishment
of a cotton plantation on CONNER
cial scale.
Curious as it may seem, Great
Britain sent to the United States
last year cotton goods aggregating
nearly SI5,ooo,ooo. Its exports of
cotton goods to all parts Of the
world went up to S4o3,o19 includ-
ing yarns worth $43,57o,o88.
Of imports into Great Britain,
cotton leads with S1o6,81o,878, fol-
lowed by oxen and bulls, $34,826,-
Go, and bacon, S3o,21o,143. In
short, foods and the raw materials
Of commerce make up about three
fourths of all the commodities that
go into Great Britain from the u
nlted States. =

Is impossible to disassociate certain classes
of appointments from such considerations
and as yet no way has been devised to
secure such disassociation Yet II remains
true that. whether ayoidabie or unayoid-
able, the intrusion of political considera-
tfons into the choice OF men whose duties
are purely ministerial is always detrimen-
tai to the service.
Il am now naturally brought into reia-

Essentials to Enforcement.


Public confidence, interest and sympathy
are essential to the enforcement Of any law,
and it is only by enlightening the public and
familiarizing it with Its workings that In
telligent public opinion can be enlisted in
aid of the merit system. Without this aid
there is difficulty in discovering and getting
proof Of abuses and remedyfng them.
Where abuses exist publicity is most eff
feetual in stopping them and in promoting
improvements.
'"There is, perhaps. no government bureau
which Is regarded with so much suspicion
by so many people or against which fraud
Is SO readily imputed as a civil service COM
mission. 1t has to contend with more mis-
understanding and Misrepresentation than
any other bureau. There is only one way in
which this can be effectually met. and that
is by the completeness of it's records. If the
records and workings of the system are an
open book and false charges are made, the
conclusive reply Is the citation of the rec
oFds. II the records are incomplete or In
accessible most absurd and unreasonable
charges can be made and receive credence,
and yet the friends of the system are I'M
able to cite the record In reply. A mere de-
NAL without the record would not carry the
same weight. A charge can be made with
out evidence. but defense to be satisfac-
tory, must give the evidence. The success
Of commission depends upon the ability
knowledge Of the facts in the observance of
rules should be constantly invited. Any in
convenience it may suffer ON this account
will be trf1ing as compared to the suspicion
that would be aroused by a lack of ade-
uuate records.

ut is function OF the civil service COM
mission to AFFORD to the pablic the fullest
information respecting the observance Of
the rules and the distribution Of patronage.
A most effectuai remedy for the boss sys-
tenn and the misuse of patronage Is pub
hcity. and nothing so much fosters that sys-
tenn as the lack of information respecting
the administration of the service. II ap-
pointments are shrouded In darkness 1t
would be naturally believed that evils exist.
Secrecy Is not an element of our polit-
ical system and 1t Is only falsehood and
corruption that are sought to be kept in
darkness. The appointing officer who
means and acts we'll recognizes his obliga-
ton to the public and courts Its opinion
This statement was made by Secretary
John T. Doyle of the United States civil
service commission, in a paper read this
morning at the conference of, civil service
commissions In progress In the Offices OF the
northwest. The title Of Mr.. Doyle's address,
which was listened to with much interest
by the eighteen delegates and the. large
number of visitors present. was Service

In the course OF his address he also said:
Records of employees need to be kept by
a central body, in order that statistics may
be complied in uniform manner They
need to be kept by body outside the de-
partments to guard against laxfty and TO
bring all appointments to the light OF crit
