Chester May 81. Sheriff Thos, Pc
den received telegram from States
Vile, N. c., yesterday morning stating
that party, supposed to be Nathan
Upchurch, wanted in this county for
the murder of Robert Belk, at Lando,
June, 1899, is under arrest In that
city, and asking that some one be sent
at once to identify the prisoner. The
crime with which Upchurch is charg-
ed was particularly brutal affair IL
reports current at the time Of the kill
ing are to be believed. Briefly stated,
the facts are as follows: Upchurch
was boss Of the spinning department
In the Manetta mills at Lando, and
Belk was an operative. Upchurch, al
though he was married man, OBJ
jected to the attentions which Belk
was showing a certain young woman,
who was also an operative In the mill,
and threatened Belk's life, II on the
evening on which the killing occurred,
he persisted in escorting the young
woman in question home. Belk defied
Upchurch and escorted the young lady
home, and the killing followed. AS
Belk stopped down to pick up some
waste Upchurch slipped up behind him
and dealt him a murderous blow with
a wrench. Belk sank to the floor ana
died instantly. Upchurch made good
his escape and nothing refnite has
been heard Of him until the last few
days.

THEY are talking Of Ex-Governor
Hayward as a candidate for the United
States senate to succeed Latimer.
The Anderson Intelligencer recently
printed a statement to the effect that
Mr.. Hayward had authorized the an
nouncement of his candidacy; but this
Mr. Hayward afterward said was a
mistake. He has not yet said, how
ever, that he will not be candidate.
That Governor Hayward is a nice man
who has lots of friends, there Is no
question. 1t is easily possible too, that
he can win in a race for the United
States senate; but there Is no certain
ty about it. The man who gets the
primary nomination next summer will
have to fight for it, and he will have
to fight hard. Latimer, himself is by
no means out Of the race yet.

YoRKVILLE, s. c.:
TUESDAY, JUNE 4. 1907.

THE manufacturers Of spool cotton
have issued orders to retailers raising
the price to 6 cents. The price for
years and years has been cents. 1t
is assumed that the manufacturers are
justifying the raise by the increased
price of cotton and therefore, there
will be no objection, especially in the
south. However, whatever the reason
for the raise, those who object have
a poor way Of helping themselves.

The international cotton congress
held at Vienna last week, came to an
end on May %. The attitude of the
congress from the standpoint of Amer
lea was, upon the whole. favorable.
The most important thing the congress
did was to reach an understanding as
To how cotton would be ginned, baled
and delivered. An interesting feat
ure was the fact that both growers and
spinners were united in opposition to
speculation in cotton futures, and in
this connection q resolution was pass
ed in favor of the compression Of the
cotton at the ginnerieS or at the point
of production. The congress adopted a
resolution establishing a maximum al
lowance of tare at % pounds per bale,
instead of the per cent Of the gross
weight of the cotton as is now the
custom. This arrangement works in
favor Of the American growers. The
spinners expressed a desire for closer
and more direct relations with the
growers Of cotton, and this attitude on
their part may be taken as reCogni-
tion of the views on this subject pre-
sented by American delegates to the
congress. who in their addresses. la
bored to 'disabuSe the minds of the
spinners of the idea that the American
growers had any intention of organIz-
ing for the purpose of unduly advanc-
ing the price of cotton. In the matter
Of the extension of cotton culture, the
congress expressed the opinion that all
countries where efforts are being made
to extend the area of cultivation are
deserving of liberal support. The con-
gress was prompted TO pass this res
Olution by the recognition of the fact
that the worlds supply Of cotton
should not depend upon the climatic
conditions of any one country. Speak
ing on this subject the American dele
gates declared that according to their
experience those European countries
who are trying to introduce the cul-
ture Of cotton into their various COL

Raising the Age Limit.

New York World.
 The Pennsylvania Railroad is con vinced, as a result of experience,-that 1t drew the line too close when it fixed thirty-five years as the age limit at which men may enter the company's employ. It will raise the limit to forty years for, the good of the service. Fix pediency has already compelled other roads that had adopted a similar rule to abandon it in practice.
 No great business institution can af- ford to cripple itself for the sake of An inflexible theory. The predicament the Pennsylvania Railroad created for itself was that 1t could not get enough competent men. Experienced men whom 1t needed were barred by req son by the thirty -fve-year rule. Ln iHstituting a pension system for em- ployes. first drought was given to the time of retirement and length of employment and too little attention paid to the immediate requirements of operating the railroad. A better way would seem to be first of all to ani- ploy men who. are capable and then adapt the pension system to their va rious conditions. It Is absurd to say that man at 35 or at 40 has lost his usefulness because he would not be justly entitled to a pension of a cer- tain size until thirty years later. His value to an employer whether he Is young or middle-aged. depends upon what he can do. not upon an abstract theory as to when he may become pen sionable.
