go FORWARD.
A Timely Sermon by Rev. J. E. Ma
haifey Last Sunday Morning.

"Go forward" Ex. xiv:15, was
the subject of a most timely
discussion by Rev. j. E. Mahaf-
fey in the Methodist church last
Sunday morning in behalf of the
progress of the town of Kings.
tree,-materially, Intellectually
and spiritually.
He pointed out that while we
have many natural advantages,
there are certain underlying
laws of progress that must be
complied with before we can ex-
pect the permanent advance
ment which is so much desired.
His discussion of the laws Of
material progress was especial
ly interesting to the business
men of the town, who, MIR. Ma.
haffey thinks, are not going to
put much more money in their
pockets until they put some into
something else. He thinks that
prosperity does not come to a
locality by the mere building of
hoppers to catch it, that part of
the money now locked up in
stores, etc., could better be
used in providing local condi-
tions and projecting manufac-
turing or other industrial enter
prises that would invite, in
crease and enrich a stable pop
ulation in the town and ada
cent territory. Unless our earn.
ing, producing and consuming
capacity is increased in pro-
portion to the increase OF stores
now in process of construction,
it will mean nothing but disas-
aster to the merchants of our
town.
A similar presentation of the
laws of intellectual and moral
progress was emphasized, in
which close and vital relation
ship between all of those phases
of progress was shown to exist.

THURSDAY, JULY rs. 1907.
Kingstrse's Cotton Market.

The South Atlantic Oil Co.'S
announcement this week as to
the improvement in its cotton
ginnery plants at this place is
very gratifying news to those who
are interested in the growth and
development of Kingstree. The
chief product of the country sur
rounding our town is cotton, and
as we have no diversified indus
tries, that of course is our main
dependence.
For several years past Kings
tree has fallen off as cotton
market and the reasons are not
difficult to perceive. In2the first
place the oil mill people have
had monopoly on the cotton GIN
ming business in town and the
facilities offered BY them have
tended to turn away rather than
to attract patronage. Last year,
we are Informed, there were
ginned here only six hundred
bales of cotton and fourteen hun
dred the year before. Yet, if we
remember Alright, the time was,
when two competitive ginneries
were in operation here, that each.
year saw from two to three thous-
and bales of cotton ginned annu-
-slly at Klngstree.
Now, the South Atlantic Oil
company has promised to remedy
the deficiencies in their. equip
ment and We believe that they
mean what they say, but that is
not all that is needed. There is
great deal of complaint about
lack of competition among the
the cotton buyers, which1 cause
should bel removed, q Kingstree
should have at least three cotton
buyers Representing thel largest
ezportersl in; the Country and if
the cttton ginned here would
warrant it, We believe that this
difficulty would adjust itself.
It is an obvious fact that the
bulk of the cotton is sold where
it is ginned, and most of the
money is spent there too, pro-
vided there are merchants to snp-
ply the wants of the man who
sells the cotton. Now, with a
beggarly pittance of six hundred
bales ginned here last year, is it
any wonder that the. trade of our
merchants fell off? I'VE believe
that in the natural channel of
events the conditions. will be re-
ileved the ensuing season. But
the business men of the town
cannot afford to take = chances.
Let them see that there. are ade-
ouate facilities here for cotton
ginning and albeit, that enough
buyers are on the market to
force every pound. of cotton up to
the maximum price.

along with the Identification.
Accompanied by Coroner r. c. Clarke
and Prosecuting Attorney D. C. Sheldon
the six somber business men of the jury
filed slowly along between the two lines
OF twenty mangled and broken forms.
Before each one they paused, the white
sheet was thrown off. and they gazed in
silence upon the mutilated forms that
spoke voicelessly to them OF the awful
loss their city had sustained. Some Of
the jurymen were hardly able to complete
their task so terrible was the ordeal.
Then they visited the nine bodies in othe
morgues.
Undertakers from Lowell. Saranac.
Portland, Greenville and Belding were
called to assist in caring for the bodies
and their interment. Nine funerals were
held Monday and eleven Tuesday. Eight
bodies we're sent to their friends at differ
ent points IN and out of the state
Our sister city presented one universal
scene of mourning. There is scarcely a
home in the city which the appalling
wreck has not touched with sorrow, either
through the loss by death of some relative
or friend. or from sympathy for those
who were injured.
The blame for the accident is laid on
the freight crew for not waiting for the
excursion train at Plymouth. :,
t. E. Pixley, conductor of the Inflated
train, was a cousin of Frank Pixley of
this city.
Miss Florence Blasen. who has been
working here for some time past was

both her father and mother were victims
of the wreck and that her fathers injuries
we're liable to prove fatal.

A young man in the party had one hand

in the wreck, and deep cut over his
nose showed how close he came to being
with departed ones. A little
nine-y year-old girl had her head tied up |
and showed mark back of her ear and |
a long one on her face. which showed |
that her escape bordered on the miracu
lous, her left ear just escaping from being
torn from her head.

century ago. Mrs. Andrews we'll remem-
bers the time when the ring was lost and
the many days it was hunted for by her

fact that it has lain out in all kinds Of
weather for so many years and shows no
sign Of rust or injury
A few months before the loss Mr.. At
