Warlick seized the stick, knocked the
old man down, and drawing his knife
cut him severely. Mr.. Thompson was
taken to his home nearby and Warlick
soon after disappeared. For several
hours Friday night 1t was thought that
the old man would die; but 1t Is now
understood that he Is getting along
very nicely. Warlick Is said to be a
well behaved citizen when sober; but
whenever he gets under the influence
Of whisky he becomes as dangerous as
maniac The authorities have been
doing what they could to arrest him;
but up to this time have been unable
to secure any satisfactory information
as to his probable whereabouts.

the previous hearing. Messrs. Lyon

COTTON ACREAGE FOR 1906.
Latham, Alexander & Co, Estimate
the Increase at Less Than 100000

Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co.,
have sent out their estimate of the 1906
cotton acreage. The estimate Is based
on information contained in 1882 re-
plies to 4,40O letters sent out, and Is to
the effect that the increase in acreage
over last year amounts to 956,45S acres,
or slightly over 81 per cent. The ac-
tual acreage by states in 1905 and the
estimated acreage in 1906 Is as follows:

WANTS TO SEE THE FUN.-For the
enlightenment Of his Democratic asso-
ciates in the house, and particularly
those living along the Mississippi river,
John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader on last Friday offered an
amendment to the naval bill providing
for the construction Of a new battle
ship. He explained his purpose In a
short but characteristic speech that
convulsed the house with laughter. At
the conclusion of his speech Mr.. Will
liams withdrew his amendment and
permitted the serious consideration Of
the bill to proceed without making his
usual point Of mo quorum" Mr.. Will
liams suggested as a name for his bat
tleship the "Skeered o Nothin'," which,
he insisted, should be Of the largest
possible tonnage and of the most ef-
fective fighting type. His amendment
provided that after this battleship was
completed, and for the purpose of
proving which was the better ship, the
American or the English Dreadnought
the British ship should be challenged
to fight duel poutrance" on the wa
ters Of Long Island sound in the imme-
diate vicinity of Oyster Bay. This To-
cality was chosen by Mr.. Williams so
that the people Of that island could
witness the result Of the strenuous pro-
gramme of their neighbor, the presi-
dent Mr. Williams stipulated that
when this duel Is fought the president
of the United States and the members
of his cabinet should have posts Of
honor upon the fighting deck of the
"Skeered o. nothin'," so that a full and
complete report might be made on the
operations of this ship. Subsequently,
Mr. Williams said that II 1t would
transpire as he believed 1t would, that
this battleship would be victorious, 1t
might force Great Britain and other
nations having a penchant for large
navies to accept the real purposes of
the Hague conference and bring about
reduction of the armament of the
world. Continuing, Mr.. Williams said
that after this was done there would
be but one thing essential left to bring
about universal peace, and that was a
personal duel between Theodore Roose-
welt and Emperor William. This duel,
he said, should be fought with rapiers,
broadswords pistols or even horse
whips or muck-rakes, and whichever
weapon was used he was confident the
German emperor would be defeated.
Big FEE For SENATOR BUTLER.-|
Quite a number of the old soldiers
were curious to know why Gen. NJ. c.
Butler did not attend the reunion. His
heart was with the old soldiers, but he
could not possibly get away to come to
Columbia. For fifty years he has been
fighting i'm the courts on the Cherokee
Indian claim, and the supreme court
has just rendered a verdict in favor of
the Indians. AS one of counsel in the
case Gen. Butler is very much interest
l., q - -
of which he Is to receive a handsome
fee-over $4,000 for his good self. Gen.
Butler Is well up on congressional af-
fairs. and as an appropriation must be
obtained to carry out the views Of the
supreme court, he was urged to remain

The PeekabOO Crusade.

While the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and related or
ganizations arc named as the ac-
cusers, we suspect strongly that the
real aninus of this crusade against
the peekaboo waist comes from men
mere, Jealous men, who, being de-
MED the diapbanous delights of
polkadot punctures in their summer
clothes, would. with the traditional
spirit of the dog in the manger,
deny these comforts to other folks.
It would be a short-sighted and
narrow policy to assail the peek
aboo waist just because men can't
wear it. There are esthetic reasons
why it can never be recherche mas
culine apparel The naked truth is
that the collar-bones of masculinity
don't look pretty through a mosquito
bar. Neither do male shins present
an alluring spectacle when viewed
through the holes in openwork hos
iery.
There are some things that man
cannot do effectively. He'can't wear
high-heeled shoes and look like an
ostrich any more than he can adopt
the straight-front and look like a
kangaroo. But if lovely woman
wishes to make herself an epitome
of a geological collection, is 1t meet
for man to mix? Not by a jugful, if
he knows what's good for him.
The peekaboo waist is here to
stay. The protests of people who
don't happen to have plump should
ers or dimpled necks viii be as
sounding brass or tinlIling cymbal.
The preachers of Dubuque are going

do they suspect that folks who see
them, in frock coats and chokers,

tions, viii be moved 20 give up a
fashion that represents both the
sanitary advantage of perfect ven
tilation and the esthetic attraction
of a denatured ball gown? We
think not.

Gle for liberty. They want surcease

other orators who have delivered
