An Edgefield Drop.SHtch Skirt.

Yes, Maud dear, we cannot imagine
how or where you heard it, but DR..
James S. Byrd did actually tug at our
arm at Red Hill last Sunday to go with
him and look at what he called "a
sweet drop-stitch skirt" We said to
him: Little boys oughtn't to be so
knowing, but still we will go with YOU"
The skirt was one of fine white lawn,
worn by a tall and beautiful young girl
with blonde hair and a matchless COM
pleXion. 1t consisted entirely of finely
tucked panels six inches wide, the tucks
and panels running up and down; and
between each panel there ran, up and
down, a row of wide and extremely
thin inserting. 1t had no hounce or
frill, and flared out at the bottom. 1t
was the most beautiful skirt we saw
that day, and we said to young DR..
Byrd: THAT is a perfectly lovely
skirt, and you are very impudent to be
calling it drop-stitch." But the young
doctor insisted that it was drop-stitch.
He said: II think it is lovely too,
but it is sure drop-stitch." Alas,
Maude dear, boys of the present day
are so knowingl-Col Jas. T. Bacon, in
the Edgefield Chronicle.

UNION COTTON MILLS SOLD.
Bid in by the Recognized Company
for SI,23S, 400. 90.

Union, May, %. THE plant and ac-
counts of the Union Cotton Mills of
which t. G.. Duncan was formerly pres
ident, were sold at auction today by
Christie Bennett, who was appointed by
the federal court to conduct the sale.
The property was bid in by VIM. Eli
oft of Columbia, attorney for the Union
and Buffalo Mills, the purchase price
being 81, 238, 400, being just $32.74 more
than the upset price fixed by the Fed
eral court. The bid by Mr.. Elliott was
the only one made. Nh. Robertson re-
CURED the deposit of a certified check
for $50, 900.
The plant was purchased by Mr.. Ell
lott for the recognized committee,
and the company will continue the OPP
Grafton of plant. Since the reorgani-
cation committee has had charge of the
affairs of the mill it is understood that
it has been making money.
The goods in the mill were appraised
by A. w. Smith Of S%partanburg, H. L..
Moody of Victor Mills, and II. j. Brit
ton Of Spartan Mills.

VACATION FOR Z. F. D. CARRIERS.
Fifteen Days Rest Annually With Full
Pay Is Assured.

Washington, May 24.e-An annual va
cation of fifteen days, with full pay,
is assured the rural free delivery car
riers of the country, by the terms of
an amendment which Senator Clay
succeeded in having incorporated upon
the post-office committee today.
Senator Clay will made every en-
deavor to secure the retention of this
provision when the bill gets before the
Senate, and there is good reason to x
pect he will be successful, as there
were but two votes against his amend
ment lin the committee. The hard fight
will be to induce the house leaders to
agree to the amendment when the bill
gets to conference, but with the strong
favorable sentiment among the MEM
bers of the house, it is believed this
can be done. y
With the vacation provision engraft-
ed upon the laws, it will remain a fix
ture for this branch of the service, as
it is of other branches, and increase
of annual pay will come later. Other
important amendments affecting the
rural delivery were placed upon the
bill by Senator Clay and the friends of
this branch of the service.
A total appropriation for rural deliv-
cry of $28, ZOO, 900 is carried by the bill
as it passes from the hands of the Sem
ate committee. This is about a million
more than the estimates of the postofice
department.
The object OF this increase is made
plain by certain provisions adopted.
One of these is that there is to be no
discontinuance of the rural free mali
delivery service where it has once been
established. Another is that the work
of establishing the service in other
directions shall continue with the ulti-
mate aim of carrying the benefits of
the service of every farm house in the
entire country. This means that in the
not far future the rural sections of all
States will be covered by rural deliv-
cry routes.
1t is apparent that Congress does not
intend that the service shall be Grip
pied, or that there shall be any discon-
%tinuance of the progressive policy of
the past.
The Senate committee has retained
in the bill the provision for the South
ern fast mail train, by which Atlanta
and all points beyond are given the
same mail facilities as are enjoyed by
other sections of the country.

CLAIMS ABOUT SETTLED.
Congressman J%ohns0n's Efforts to Secure
Sl47.O0 for Pettitt Heirs. e.

Washington, May %. Representative
Johnson is about TO get an old claim
settled hat will be of interest to sew
eral people in Spartanburg county.
AT the breaking out of the war B. f.
Pettitt, of S~partanburg county, had a
contract for carrying the mails from
Glenn Springs to Laurens. When the
war began he had to stop his work, and
the government owed him $147. Nothing
could be done toward the collection of
this claim as long as the war lasted,
and since hostilities ceased nothing has
been done with the claim until recently.
A short time ago Mr.. johnson took it
up, and he said today that he had just
succeeded in having the house pass the
claim. This means that the heirs of
Pettitt living in Spartanburg county
will shortly receive the money-$147-
that has been due for so long. Spar

DOUBLE HANGING AT KINGSTREE.
Two negroes Pay Death Penalty for
Committing Murder.

Kingstree, May 25.-Promptly at /
o'clock to-day Epps Snowden was
hanged within the Jail for the murder
of Bob Brown, some time in the fall of
1905. The condemned man showed no
signs of nervousness as the grim trag-
edy of the law fell upon him as the
principal actor. He walked firmly from
his cell without assistance and took his
place beneath the fatal moose without a
culver. Just before the drop, he made
a statement, saying that he had no in
tention of killing Bob Brown, the night
he went to the store and that it was all
the result of a drunken frolic. The
neck was not broken and he died of
strangulation.
Arthur McFadden was hanged as soon
as the body of Epps Snowden was taken
away from the death chamber. He
shot George Burgess at Cadets some
time last winter and was convicted of
murder at the last term of court.
Petitions for the pardon or commuta-
ton of sentence were presented for
both Epps Snowden and Arthur Nc
Fadden, but in both cases the Governor
declined to interfere. McFadden, as in
the case of Snowden, was game to the
end and showed no nervousness
while the preparations were being
made. He protested his innocence to
the last and said he was being hanged
for some other mans crime. He adj
mitted that he had had arrow with Bur-
CESS a week before and had cut him,
but claimed that he was not in Cadets
at all the night of the killing. McFad-
den died of strangulatio1.
These two executions took place in
private within tie Jail and in the pres
ence of only the officers and a few wit
nesses. This makes five hangings in
Williamsburg since January LIST.

HELP HARD TO GET.
Spartanburg Mills Experiencing Trouble
in Obtaining Operatives.

Says the ~Spartanburg Journal:
The cotton mills in this county are
having considerable difficulty in Sc
curing sufficient help in the mills to OPP
crate the mills on full time. The de-
mand for operatives is general through
out the entire county, and the condi-
tons here are said to exist in mills in
other sections of the State.
The demand for labor in the mills has
been increasing for several months ow-
ing to the fact that many of the mill
operatives have quit the mills and re-
turned to the country to work on
farms.

DEATH OF MISS MONTGOMERY.
Due to an Overdose of Laudanm Taken
Wednesday Morning.

Spartanburg, May 23.-Miss Marie
Montgomery, the eldest daughter of
Mr. Victor Montgomery of this city,
died this morning at IL o'clock. Death
was from the result of an overdose of
laudanum, which drug the young lady
had been taking under prescription.
Miss Montgomery retired last night
at her usual hour, and this morning at
z o'clock she was found in an uncon-
scious condition. DIR. l.. j. Blake, the
family physician, vas hastily summoned
but the young lady was beyond the
reach of human aid. Up to the erd she
was unconscious.
Miss Montgomery was a graduate of
Limestone Female College, and was
quite popular both at that institution
and in this city. She had a bright per-
sonality , : va liked by all who knew
her.
This IS the third death which has oc-
Cured in the family of Mr.. Montgom-
cry within the last year. About a year
ago Mrs. Horace Bomar, one of mis-
daughters died and only a few months
ago Mrs. Montgomery passed away. The
death of Miss Marie Montgomery at
this time will be a great blow to her
family and to her many friends over the
State.

The statement shows an increase of
736,228 acres this year owe that plant
ed in 1905, a net increase of ZIG per
cent. These figures are to be verified
or corrected at a meeting of the State
presidents at Jackson, Miss, May 81.
The statement further says that the
scarcity of labor, especially in Ala
bama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ar
kansas will cause at least 10 per cent.
of the acreage now planted to be aban-
doned on account of the lack of neces-
sary hands to cultivate the crop. Frosts
about May $40 caused considerable
damage and replanting.

LIFE

Major John Black, Member OF State
Board Of Control, Creates a Big
Sensation In CoIumbia.

hh
Columbia, May 25. There was a sem
sation here today when it was annouced
that Maj. John Black, d~ispensary di-
rector, had cursed out Mr.. j. Frazer
Lyon on the street before breakfast.
Maj. Black is a very excitable man and
dangerous when in a passion. Nothing
but Mr.. Lyons GOODNESS prevented blood
shed. Maj. Black accused the investi-
eating committee of going too deep into
his private affairs. He applied vile
epithets to MI. Lyons associate, Sena-
tor Christensen, and said he felt like
blowing mp Mr.. Lyon on the spot. He
told Mr.. Lyon to arm himself. Mr..
Lyon was on his way from his flats to
the hotel for breakfast at Wright's.
The meeting occurred in front of the
Columbia Hotel. Mr.. Lyon walked
back to his room a moment and when
he returned Major Black was not
around.
REMOVE BLACK FROM OFFICE.
Before the Investigating committee,
MIR. Lyon calmly placed the information
and Senator Christensen added that last
winter MIR. Hub Evans threatened to
shoot Mr.. t. w. K~lingenberg, special
attorney, if the witness should go on
the stand to testify against Mr.. Evans.
The committee after taking the matter
under advisement, decided to refer the
matter to the governor with the sug-
gestion that Maj. Black should be re-
moved from Office. Gov. Hayward is
out of the city today.
