Charging in effect that the Seaooard promised to give them rebates and then renigged, the Nickajack Milling company has gone to courts to enforce demands. The company alleges it entered into a contract with the Seaboard by which the railroad agreed to give them what are known as milling transit rates. They state that now the railroad refuses to re- turn the overcharge of difference between joint rates and through rates, and ac- cordingly they enter suit.

Conviction in Spartanburg of
Preachers Charged With
Working on Sunday.

Spartanburg Herald The court
was occupied practically all of
yesterday with the trial os Rev
K. Il. Nash, the Seventh Day
Adventist minister. Mr.. Nash
was found guilty Of working on
Sunday and was fined one dol
lar. Revs. j. j Soper and AL
lie Johnson. who answered sim.
lar indictmens, pleaded guilty 20
the charge and were fined the
same amount, There is a pos.
sibility of the ministers taking
an appeal, as they think that
their rights to free religious wor.
ship has been denied them.
The cases yesterday attracted
considable attention and al dur
ing the trial the court room was
crowded. Rev. r. II. Nash did
not have counsel and conducted
the case himself. His argument
to the jury was to large extent
along the lines Of the belief OF
his religion and several times the
court was forced to request the
minister to confine himself to the
law and facts in the case. The
case was given to the jury and
after deliberation OF five min.
utes the verdict of guilty was
returned.
The Adventists were presented
by grand jury at the last term
of the court because Of the fact
that they attended to their world
ly duties on the Sabbath. This
their neighbors in the upper part
of the county objected to and the
complaint was carried before the
jury. The finding of the preach.
ers will have the effect OF putting O
stop to their violation.

Can the States East of the
Mississippi Compete with
Those West in Raising
Cotton?
Southern Cultivator.


There is not shadow of a
doubt In our minds, that the
States west of the Mississippi
River can raise all ,,,the cotton
needed to clothe the world. Tex.
as came very near making 4,OOO,-
900 bales this year, and we all
know this is not half her capac-
ity. Texas alone, when a little
more thickly settled, can grow
1O,OoO,oOO bales. Thev,can grow
bale per acre without fertili.
ger: then how can we compete
with them unless we do grow a
much by the use of fertilizerg In
our opinion, no one can snake
money raising cotton who does
not make a bale per acre. The
less we raise the more it costs
Col. r. j. Rsdding figures out
thus
One bale per acre costs four
cents per pound.
One bale to two acres costs six
cents per pound,
One bale to three acres costs
eight cents per pound.
One bale to four acres costs
ten cents per pound.
AT present prices paid forI,sla-
Dor and all necessaries for pro-
ducing cotton, we would add two
cents per pound to the cost in all
his figures, and we do not think
we would be any too high. but
be this as it may, none can deny
that the ratio of cost is increased
just in proportion as the area to
produce a bale is increased. Our
proposition to all our readers is
this: 1. Cut out all your land in
cotton that will not produce a
bale per acre. 2. Sow the other
In grain and peas until you build
1T up TO the standard. 3. Or raise
cattle and put manure on it un.
til you can make bale of cotton
or Its equivalent in any other
crop. We had just as we'll wake
up to the conclusion that we can
not successfully compete with
these Western farmers and allow
them to have so much the advan.
tage in production. We had Just
as well try to tote logs and give
the fellow on the other side twice
the length of hand-stick; if we
were strong enough we might
stand it, but you know it means
twice as much muscle and lift.

The Sunday editions of the chief

constantly enlarged and improved all

the daily press not only leads but pays
the bills and it makes the combinations
by which the news of the world is
momentarily flashed to all communi-

broader field in literature and art than
it formerly attempted to occupy and
has made such progress that it is far
in advance in public attractiveness.
At the same time many of the maya

FUR GARMENTS.
Some of the Beautiful and Expensive
Midwinter Novelties In Pelts.

Some of the Beautiful and Expensive
Midwinter Novelties In Pelts.
Some of the fur garments offered
this winter are remarkable, to say the
least. In my minds eye l have long
coat reaching nearly to the foot Of
the dress, and this is entirely made of
little square pieces in two different col
ors and kinds of fur. One is gray ST.
berian squirrel and the other some
brown fur short Of pile. but rich OF
color. The gray and brown make a
pretty contrast. but the entire garment
reminds one of the Goat Of many col
ors" of old.
The automobile coats are of almost
anything that has hair ON it. Pony
skin, with the fur or hair on the out
side. especially the pinto pony. with its
spots and dashes of white, is much
liked. After that come the dearer furs,
such as astrakhan, caracal and Per-
sian lamb. This last Is tender fur
and so is not so useful for the hard
wear necessary for an auto coat.
After the auto coats come the dressy
fur affairs for rich carriage or evening
wear, and these are shaped in many
varieties Of wraps. few of them SEEM
ing really to be suited for fur gar
m nts. Still, they are seen and sur
prise one by the price, which is pro-
hibitive for ordinary folks. They are
long in the back and have the garment
so fashioned that there are several
ways for the fur to be laid. so the
grain. running in different lines, makes
trimming Of it. Lace and frequently
rich embroidery are used to enhance
the beauty of these opera and visiting
wraps. The furs of lighter shades are
preferred for these as appearing more
dressy than the darker furs. OF course
Russian sable is greatly to be desired
and is fashionable. but the modest lit
tie seal or lamb coat is now scarcely
reckoned among the belongings of the
leaders of fashion.
All sorts of Elton jackets are offered
and are very fetching for the young.
but very dangerous for all unless there
is an inside vest of chamOis or OF the
paper which is now shown everywhere.
These Elton jackets are made of seal,
broadtail and ermine or its little white
bunny imitation. The sleeves are to
the elbows or long. as the wearer
wishes Many of these jackets are
open at the neck in V shape to allow
for full lace jabot. l forgot to men
ton that many Of the auto coats are of
raccoon, muskrat and possum. The
coon is the handsOmeSt. the muskrat
the most expensive. while the possum
is the most durable. These furs are
also employed for lining coats of cloth.
For stoles and the large muffs that
go with the long and wide stoles the
favorite furs are sable, chinchilla and
ermine as the most costly, with silver
pointed fox and white fox, though
many are seen of Alaska sable and
some of seal Seal is as desirable ana
as fashionable az it was fifty or more
years ago, but it is now extremely ex'

pensive. Some Of the muffS of fox and
sable are loaded with heads and tails
of the defunct animals. but when the
big muff is also decorated with such q
quantity of heads and tails it makes ii
necessary that the stole should be long
and similarly decorated.

handy and much liked for ordinary

thick, heavy braid, and the small turn
down collars are neat and make the
stole or throw necessary to protect the
throat In fact, none of the coats for
this season has high storm collar. as
it is expected that a throw of some
kind or long stole will be added to
the outfit. These coats are made with
great care in the finishing. and they
certainly are great improvement I'M
