consistent member of Allison Creek
church, and though her circle Of ac-
quaintances was somewhat limited by
reason of her affliction, she was held
in high esteem by all who knew her.
The funeral took place at Allison Creek

survived by three sisters and four

Died From Natural Causes.
Accompanied by Sheriff Brown, Cor
oner Louthian went to Guthriesville
Wednesday to investigate the circum-
stances in connection with the death
of a negro woman named Freeman.
1t seems that the woman had had a
fight with her husband on the previ-
Gus Saturday, and she afterward be-
came very i'll, expiring on Tuesday
morning. The woman died Of paraly-
sis and some of her relatives were in
clined to think that the paralysis was
brought on as the result Of blows in
fiicted by her husband. The testimo-
ny OF credible witnesses was to the
effect that the man had only struck
the woman with his fist and open hand,
and that the punishment he inflicted
did not seem to be especially severe.
DR.. Love- who saw the woman before
her death, was unwilling to say that
the paralysis was the result Of the
fight, and Dr. Barron, who accompan-
L led the coroner said that decomposi-
ton having already set in at the time
Of the inquiry, little or nothing could
be determined on this special point as
the result Of a post mortum examina-
ton. Coroner Louthian decided that
an inquest was unnecessary.
Another Still Captured.
Special Constable ]. L. Sanders and
Deputy Sheriff Quinn, drove into
Yorkville yesterday afternoon with a
buggy load of plunder taken from a
still captured on the North Carolina
line yesterday morning. The parties
consisted of the officers mentioned and
Constable Andy Quinn Of Glover. They
went into the moonshine country on
last Wednesday night on a kind OF a
hit or miss expedition. That Is they
had no definite information as to the
location Of any particular still. While
searching along the branches and hol-
lows on the Dicky old place, they To-
Gated what they were after-a moon
shine plant in full operation. 1t was
about 8 o'clock in the morning and In
an open place from which the distillers
could command a plain view Of all
approaches. There were three negroes
at the still. All Of them ran and the
officers followed on horseback; but
because Of the nature Of the country,
were able to make only poor progress
One of the negroes got away in the
brush and two others escaped across
the North Carolina line. The officers
destroyed five stands of beer, including
700 or 500 gallons Of beer and brought
away the copper of the still, good
worm and several gallons Of whisky
in. a keg. They also raided the house
in which the operators Of the still
were making their headquarters, and
found some barley malt, meal and
other articles connected with the bus
mess.

THE following very pertinent para
graph has appeared in the local and
editorial columns of at least a dozen
papers in the last ten days. Its
pointed truth struck us forcibly, and
we were about to give credit for II
when we noticed that 1t had simul-
taneous appearance in many papers:
Lawyers stand up in court houses
before jurors in the presence OF large
audiences, and denounce men as liars,
scoundrels, thieves and perjured viii
lains, and when court adjourns the
men appear to harbor no i'll will
against them. But let newspaper
family intimate that a mans character
is blemished, and he has to confront
a horse pistol, stand a libel suit or
suffer what the people think to be the
greatest of all mortitications-lose a
subscriber"
Now. the question arises, Whose is
it? and Who stole it? 1t contains a
bit of truth for which some one is
Justly entitled to credit All those
who have published it as editorial will
please keep quiet.-Keowee Courier.
We have seen this paragraph before,
but how long it has been since we first
saw it, would be difficult to say. 1t
was no doubt originally put together
by one of the editors of a former gen.
Grafton. But still it is about as appli-
cable to present conditions as it was
to conditions of old, and we beg leave
to suggest that after all it's republica-
ton as original matter does not ap-
pear to be a particularly serious Of
fense.

Fluctuations were more or less ire
gular during the early session. Later
the market broke sharply under New
Orleans and Wall street pressure
which seemed to be promoted by indef-
mite rumors of weakening in the in
terror, markets and reports from Bos-
ton that jobbers in the cotton goods
market were trying to cancel orders
for forward shipment. The close was
practically at the lowest point Of the
session. Liverpool spot sales were
large enough to attract attention but
local sentiment seemed too bearish on
the expectation of lower spot markets.
December maintained a premium or
about 6 or points over January.

COTTON CONGRESS ENDED.
Growers and Spinners Form Perma
nent Orqanization.

The feature of Tuesdays proceed
ings of the Worlds Cotton congress,
which convened in Atlanta on Mon
day, was the alternate presentation by
the spinnerS on the one side and the
growers on the other of their respect
i've views of how the marketing of
cotton should be conducted.
Spinners representing hundreds OF
mills and millions Of spindles told the
planters that they were not only will
ing but anxious to buy their cotton
direct from the planter, just as soon
as the planter can deliver direct. Big
planters and representatives of the
Farmers union told the spinnerS Of
Europe that already they were organ
lied, had built Il chain Of cotton ware
houses, had perfected q business Sys-
tenn by which the spinners could pur-
chase an almost unlimited supply of
graded cotton, and were ready TO elm
mate the antiquated method of SELL
ing through a middle man.
But" said Herr Arthur Kuffier of
Vienna, IF you planters wish To trade
direct with us you must give US better
service than the merchant"
Action furthering this condition took
concrete form in the unanimous adop-
ton by the conference of a resolution
presented by the committee on trade
relations between growers and spin
ners. This resolution declared that
much of the present difficulty in hand
ling cotton could be eliminated If the
growers would adopt what is known
as the warehouse system and establish
selling agents in Europe and America.
An essential part of this scheme is
the adoption of standard type of
contract, classification of cotton by
grade and color alone. the unit to be
$4,000 pounds instead Of 100 bales net
weight, and the handling of damp cot
ton under uniform rules. These points
were embodied in the resolutions pre-
sented by the committee on transpOr-
tatiOn, and these also were unani-
mOusly adopted by the conference.
Thus two long steps in the great work
of the conference, the raising of the
standard Of cotton delivered to the
spinners. and simpler and more eco
nOmical methods Of handling, involv
ing a saving. 1t is asserted. of some
thing like $25,O00,000 q year. were
taken.
The great work Of the conference yet
remains to he done. This is final ac-

Atlanta. Ga. October 10: Immedi-
ate and practical results of the inter-
national conference Of cotton growers
and Spinners, which closed yesterday.
developed today in conference held
by the executive board Of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
and H. w. MacAliSter of Manchester.
England. one of the chief experts on
Spinnable grades of cotton. with the
European delegation to the late con-
ference The object of the conference
was to perfect and as speedily as pos
Sible to agree upon terms whereby the
growers of the union could deal direct
with the European consumers. 1t was
stated by the unions officers that al
ready the union had arranged to locate
an agent in England: that a central
agency had been established in Men,
phis and that this office will notify
the European agency of all cotton
ready for sale. Mr.. MacAlister guar
anteed that all cotton offered would
be bought. He explained. however,
that the cotton offered by the union
must conform with the grades sold,
and that the baling and cOmpressing
must be in accordance with the terms
adopted by the conference. This was
agreed to.

THE recommendation Of the Inter-
national Cotton conference with refer
ence to better baling and hurrying the
time when cotton can be compressed
on the farms or at the local gins is of
more Importance than will be generally
appreciated. AS everybody knows, but
few ginners make any special effort to
put cotton up in neat and substantial
form, and the average owner Of the
cotton cares little for either the neat
ness or durability of the packing.
But the subject has a practical side.
A sloven, loosely packed bale, not fit
for export. cannot have the full ad-
vantage of the competitive market
The local spinner has the most natural
claim on it. Good, clean cotton, how
ever in proper shape for shipment to
the nearest compress, has every ad-
vantage of all the competition there
is. OF course, there are plenty Of far
mers who are able to see the philoso-
ply of this; but there. are some to
whom it will not so readily appear.

- Columbia special Of Wednesday to
News and Courier: The state board OF
health at a meeting held today decided
to wage a campaign against tubercu-
losis and for better sanitation gener-
ally. The newspapers will be asked
to assist materially in this campaign
and the County Medical associations
throughout the state will also be util-
lied to reach the people by means Of
lectures and demonstrations. The
members and officers of these societies
will provide information for the peo-
pie through addresses and papers to
be published in the papers, pointing
out the causes Of tuberculosis and 9TH
er diseases and the necessity for
guarding against such diseases by a
proper sanitary precaution. In this
connection it was decided to have the
chairman of the board request Gov
ernor Ansel in his annual message to
recommend the establishment Of a
separate hospital for the treatment Of
the inmates of the state hospital for
the insane, who are suffering with or
threatened with tuberculosis. This
disease has given much trouble among
the inmates of the insane hospital.
The board Of health also adopted rules
for the enforcement of the recently
enacted pure food law. The state
chemist, DR.. Parker, Is authorized to
purchase in open market samples Of
foods and drugs for the purposes of
analysis and inspection and to make
reports to the board of these analyses.
II the attorney general decides that the
procedure is within the law the board
will then publish the analysis Of such
food stuffs, as do not conform to the
law. Manufacturers will be required
to label their foods as is required un-
der the Federal pure food law Of goods
in interstate commerce.

THE Greenville Piedmont sounds
the reminder that even Is cents cotton
will not pay the man who fails to raise
his own hog and hominy. Our con-
temporary is eminently correct on this
proposition. The time will never come
when cotton can be raised at a profit,
except as a surplus.

. Dear Sir: Here's another problem
for those arithmetic and algebra schol-
ars:
If Devoe is worth $1.75 a gallon, and
spreads a half further than average
paint, and wears twice as long, what is
average paint worth a gallon put-on,
painters wages being $3.50 a day and
a days work gallon Of paint.
The answer is minus $1.75 a gallon.
That Is: you could afford to paint with
average paint If somebody gives 1t to
you and pays half the painters wages.

MUSIC AND DRAMA AT cHIcoRA
Opening Presentation of Faculty an
Interesting Occasion.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.

Interesting Occasion.
Correspondence Of the Yorkyille Enquirer.
Greenville, October S.-The manage
ment of Chicora college last evening
presented to an appreciative audience,
the faculty Of it's School Of Music and
Dramatic Art. 1t is safe to say that
probably no school in the state can
offer a finer array of artists in their
special departments.
AS the director Of music, Chicora
was certainly most fortunate to secure
DR.. H. H. Bellamann, a well-rounded
musician, a pianist Of rare ability, and
an organist OF note, as well as peins
a composer of high rank. Two OF his
own compositions appeared on the pro-
gramme, and were enthusiastically
received He demonstrated his thor
ough musicianship at the piano, prov
ing himself a most magnetic perform
er. He may be said to be distinctly
lyric in style. His melody work Is
particularly beautiful, and his phras-
ing refined. Though reserved In his
handling Of the piano. his work leaves
the impression of being intensely sub
jective. There Is no doubt he has his
own ideas and plays them into the
composition with great emotionai
warmth.
Madame Bellamann is at the head
Of the voice department and her sing
ing won popularity for her with her
very first number. She Is an exponent
of the bell canto school, and there Is
no doubt that this method produces
the greatest singers. Those who heard
Madame Bellamann's almost f1awless
singing last night went away convinc-
ed that much may be expected OF her
pupils. She Is not only most charm
ing singer, but an enthusiastic teach
en- and 1t is a noticeable fact that her
department has trebled itself since she
has been in charge Of 1t.
Madame Willimon played like the
artist she is. Her violin Is her medium
for the expression Of a wonderful depth
of emotion. This department also Is
making rapid strides. -,
Miss Graham showed herself well
capable of handling the most difficult
selections with a technique unusual
and a crisp, pure tone quality that Is
delightful.
Miss Young, the director Of the
School of Dramatic Art, was all that
one could wish; she is a charming and
graceful teacher Of expression. Her
reading possesses every quality OF
a finished and successful platform
reader. She is equally at home In de-
picting the deep, serious phase or hu-
man character and the rollicking gay
ETY. Of utter irresponsibility. Her ap-
pearances were greeted with warm ap-
plause.

amounted to $121,O97.S9, and from the
total figures given above, s123,S7S.47,

of J mill in the levy for state purposes.

The rule Of the the interior de-
partment in the Indian Territory
has been and is no protection to the
Indian citizen, 1t has been his
financial ruin because his lands
have been SO encumbered that he
could neither sell or make legal
lease. Thousands of fullblood Cher
okees could not find their.allotments
if they had wanted to. Their lands
in many cases are in the hands Of
squatters and intruders who refuse
to vacate and the Indian Agent does
not dispossess them. IF all the
Indians in the whole domain Of the
five tribes are not rendered lifelong
democrats it will be a wonder, as
their treatment at the hands of a
long line of republican administra-
tions would leave no other course
open.
