Hemingway Hotel Closed.

On Tuesday morning last the
Hemingway Hotel closed its doors to
the public. Under the efficient man.
age ment Of the proprietress, Mrs M
R Hemingway, this has been for the
past five years Ole of the most popu-
lar hotels between Charleston and
Wilmington, and the menu provided
was proverbial with the travelling
public for its excellence.
Mrs. Hemingway's reasons for re-
firing from the hotel business are
purely personal and in no way the
result of decline in patronage of
her house.

Announcement.

The Cotton Gins at Kingstree
are now being overhauled and
will soon be ready to gin all the
cotton that can be brought to
them from radius of ten
miles.
The large Ginnery at the Oil
Mill is being remodeled and a
house added, and this ginnery
will turn out a bale every ten
minutes.
The downtown Ginnery,
which has established a repu-
tation for itself in the past, will
turn out a bale every twenty

any fear of being delayed.
The Kingstree Cotton Mar
ket is known to be the best in
the country, and the Oil Mill will
pay the highest cash price for

THIRTEEN CENTS IS
THE MINIMUM Price.
FIXED By THE SOUTHERN COTTON
ASSOCIATION FOR this YEARS
GOTTEN CROP.

SOuIu CdTOllud VIII ihSI uS'
president E d Smith, of the
(Southern Cotton association, to
vote for a price of at least 13
cents per pound for cotton sold
ibis year. This was decided
kpon recently at meeting of
he presidents of the county as.
|ociations of cotton growers,
there being about 49 delegates
present in Columbia, from 21
counties, as We learn from our
exchanges.
All of the delegates agreed
that this should be the mini
mum price for cotton, so far as
South Carolina is concerned,
and from reports received on
conditions of the crop the farm
ers are now passing through
the critical period. The cotton
crop is late and there is little
chance for an increase in the es-
innate, which is one million
bales for South Carolina, but a
chance for a decrease. with un.
favorable weather conditions.
The State, however, is in bet
ter condition than any cotton
growing State and therefore is
in position to dictate the price.
! MI. Smith thought that the en-.
ktire crop would amount to about
R12, 900, 900 bales or million less
than last year, and the South
sCarolina officials of the Associa-
ation are willing for 13 cents as
} line below which no bale will
|e sold. and should conditions
Be still further unfavorable the
rice should be even higher.
the matter of price for cotton
throughout the South will be
lranged at the meeting of exc
cutive committee of the South.
ern Cotton association to be
held at Jackson, Miss, on the
9Th.
The Association also adopted
Ian important resolution agree
ling to push the use of low grade
tcotton for the manufacture of
heavy duck for bagging in
place of the. jute and burlaps
now used. The heavy duck
could not only be used for cot.
ton but for grain and fertilizers.
At present the use of burlap
and jute causes the American
cotton to arrive in European
ports badly damaged and burst.
ing through the bales, while the
Rcotton from Egypt and India
s we'll packed and brings high
prices.
President Smith will bring
lis up at the cotton meeting at
ackson, and will endeavor to
ass the South Carolina idea, as
is of. vast importance to the
xporters.

FORTY-FIVE MEN
ARE GIVEN LAY-OEF
Shovel Company Cutting
Down its Forces.
Railroad Construction Worl- at a
Standstill, no Demand for
Shovel Machinery.

The Marion Steam Shovel com
pany is continuing cutting down
its force of men and again last
evening forty-fiye from the vari-
Gus departments OF the shops were
given their walking papers. With
in the past several weeks the
laboring force has been cut down
nearly one third and the slaughter
it is said, is not yet at an end.
One of the officials of the shop
stated today that the prospects for
an increase in business are not very
bright. 1t seems as thouGL the
railroad construction work is at a
stand still and thus little demand
in this line for shovel machinery. /.
For the first time in number of
years the local company is manu-
featuring machinery faster than it
can be readily disposed Of. How
ever the slump seems to be general
with the shovel factories through
out the country.

CONTRACTS TO
BE- AWARDED
At Board Meeting Held This
Evening.
GOOD BRICK OR NONE
Residents Take a Decided
Stand in the Matter.
Paving Inspectors will be Instruct-
ed to Exercise the Utmost Care
In Selecting Material.

The fact that during the past
few years the paving brick com
panies have been palming off a
poor quality of material on Marion
is the cause of the present delay
in awarding the contracts for paw
ing Park Boulevard, Cherry street,
South Prospect street and Grand
avenue. The residents of these
streets want good brick or none,
and are backed up in this resolve
by the members of the service
board.
During the past few days peti-
tions have been circulated among
the property owners on these
streets TO ascertain what kind of
brick they want. Tonight the pa
pers will be turned into the service
board and that body will award
the contracts.
The representative of the Ath-
ems Brick company thinks that an
injustice is being done his com
pany in delaying the awarding OF
the contracts. He states that the
lowest bids for all four contracts
specify Athens brick, and that
there is no good reason why those
bidders should not get the con-
tracts. He claims that his com
pany furnishes a good quality of
brick. The company's representa-
tive called on Councilman ]. G..
Setter at noon, today, in hope of
interesting that aggressive official
in his cause. DR.. Setter, however,
said that if the property owners
specify that they want any parti-
cular kind of brick. they should be
allowed to have it.. The rival of
the Athens brick for these contracts
is the brick manufactured by the
Logan company.
No matter what company fur
nishes the brick for these streets,
good material must be provided or
there will be trouble. The mem
bers of the board of public service
have decided this. When the in
spectors for these streets are APP
pointed, they will be instructed to
exercise the utmost care in seeing
that only good bricks are used. In
the past, city officials say the
inspectors have heen extremely neg
ligent. and it has been greatly
due to their carclessness that many
of the paved streets are not in
good condition.

c. D. 6 M. OFFICIALS
and COUNTY AUDITOR
Have a Real Interesting Ses-
sion at Columbus.
Charles l.. Allen Tells the Railway
officials What Branch
Road Cost.

A rather lively wordy battle oc-
Cured between County Auditor
Charles l.. Allen and officials of
the Columbus, Delaware d Marion
Electric Railway at Columbus, Fri
day, while meeting Of the cdun-
ty auditors was being held to ap-
praise the company's property.
The valuation of the new branch
line from Owens TO Green Camp
was the cause of the squabble.
County Auditor Allen did not APP
prove the figures submitted by the
company officials to show the cost
of constructing the branch. Allen
came back with figures of his own,
which he said showed the actual
cost of construction. Furthermore,
he defied the company officials
to show that his figures were not
right.
Allen and the officials exchanged
compliments for about two hours,
and at the end the Owens-Green
Camp line was appraised at $4,000.

The Walden Cubs were out Friday
afternoon for second time under the
careful leadership of Prof. Randals.
their 1907 coach. Prof. Randals is in
hopes of turning out one of the best
Preparatory teams in the South this
season. The first scrin.mage will
take place next week. Everything
looked gloomy for the Cubs" at first,
but the prospects now look bright for
fast team. They have a few open
dates that they would be very glad to
fill
Yesterday Mr.. Chas. Alexander ar
rived and spoiled the hopes of many
new men who had anticipated holding
down right half for the Cubs Of 1907.
Ebon Hudson, the Cubs" last
years left half, was out for the first
time Friday. Hudson looks good to
make his place, for he has the speed
and weight.
Chas Williams, "the Cincinnati
Kid" made fine showing at left
guard. The Cincinnati boy played
left tackle for the Cubs" last wear.
but will look after left guard this
season.
L, Morrow, the last year quarter
back captain, was doing some of his
oldtime work Friday.
Bob" Dill, the last years center,
will look after that end of the game
for the Cubs" this year.
Wymon Brady was out for the sec
ond time Friday. He will look after
right tackle for the Cubs" this year,
and if he looks after it the same as
he did last year, it will certainly be
looked after carefully, and don't you
forget it,
John Banks of the Blue Grass State
will be down in a few days to take his
place at right end.
Harry Myall, the last year right
guard, is expected to run down any
day to take his old stand. Myall
spent the summer in Chattanooga
He writes that he is in the pink oil
