;. Only one more week in which to as- i. certain whether one hundred women will accept employment in the shirt manufacturing plant which the Board of Trade is endeavoriag to ohtain for Ga . naan.
 THE NEWS again appeals ito all women who contemplate accepting this employ ment, to notify the Board of Trade, sec retaxy, N. w. Hardenbergh. THE NEWS will also forward to the Board any names filed at this office. Write ns, tel ephone us, call personally or notify us in any way you like
 We are particularly desirons of saaipg this industry locate at Canaan for the reason that the concern is substantial and reliable, their business is, as we have before said, increasing and in.all probability the plant would De enlarged in the near future if the additional help l. could be found.
 We believe that could the plant be ,Ob tained at this time, the advent of the !. trolley roads, which we have every req ;, son to believe will be extended to Ga naan in the near future, would make it possible for operators in nearby villages { to come here each day at convenient hours and at low rate of fare
 The matter has been explained at length in previous issues of this paper and during the past week several appli- cations have been received but the total number of names, on file is considerably Jess than 100. We thus make the final appeal to every woman who will accept employment to let itsbe known at once If you are debating tthe matter, think hard, about it during the coming week and come to an affirmative conclusion if possible.
 We realize that we're this an industry which ,would give employment to 100 lmen, the proposition would be decidely different and help would Joe much more easily obtained. It wOuld have been more fortunate for the B0ard could the industry employing women have been the second instead of the 1inStsto present itself but such is not the case and we are called upon to deal with conditions as they exist and not as we would like to have them exist were it possible for ns,to have a choice in the matter It will, as we have said before, require atrenuons effort to obtain the industry and if this effort is successful, there is not a Canaanite but will believe that the concern is of sufficient value to the industrial interests of Canaan to war rant all the hard work necessary to ob- tain it.
 Only one more week.

Lively Scrap With Negroes.

Rock HILL, Sept. 9.-Policeman
Charles Miller had a lively time Sat-
urday afternoon while arresting
Manuel Williams, a notorious often
der. The negro has had trouble a
number of times with the the officers
of the law and has sworn vengeance
against Miller on more than enc oc-
casion, it is said. When the arrest
was made Saturday the fellow was
caught unawares at his mothers s
yard and nabbed before he had time
to resist. But the mother and two
other women came out and attempt
ed a rescue and that is where the fun
began. The policeman knocked all
three of the women down as they ran
at him. In the meantime the pris-
oner got loose and started into the Of
fcer and he, too, was promptly
downed. In the mans case he had to
be knocked down twice before help
came and he was again safely in Gus
tody. 1t was really a serious affair
and the officer showed nerve Of a
high order in refraining from killing
Williams, who had sworn to have Mil
ler's life if he ever attempted to ar
rest him again and had sent word to
that effect.

Mr.. Pollock Of Cheraw made a state
ment in the legislature, while he was
a member of that body, that he had
been offered an interest in this same
distillery if he would do certain
things, the nature of which he did
not divulge in detail. The distillery
has changed ownership since then,
however.
In the recent election in Kershaw
county the people voted against liq-
uor manufacturing plants being op-
Grated within the county. The re-

The Lawyer Won.

The rigid observance of the En-
glish rules in South Carolina courts
and neglect of the same on the part
of Mr.. Pettigru, barrister we'll
known in his day, gave rise to the
following passage:
t'Mr. Pettigru," said the judge,
s'you have on light coat. You can't
speak"
May it please the BENCH" said
the ;barrister. Il confirm strictly to
the law. Let me illustrate: The
law says the barrister shall wear a
black gown and coat, and your honor
thinks that means a black coat?''
Yes" said the Judge.
well, the law also says the sheriff
shall wear a cooked hat and sword.
Does your honor think that the
sword must be cooked as well as the
hat?"
He was permitted to proceed.

out of Lancaster, came near losing
his home by fire last night, due to
the explosion of a lamp, which is
kept burning all night in the house.

which were in Mr.. Phillips coat pock-
ct, the garment, as we'll as a consld-
cradle lot of other clothing hanging
on the wall, having been set on fire
by the blazing oil and destroyed.
Some Of the exploded shells were
found in a bed near by in which chill
dren were sleeping. The wooden
handle of loaded revolver, which
was lying on the table by the lamp,
was burned off, and the metallic part
of the weapon was so hot that it
could not be picked up for some
time. Before Mr.. Phillips and the
family succeeded in extinguishing the
flames much damage was done to
furniture and the walls of the build
inp.

Oranpeburg "Coffin" Case.

ORANGEBURG, Sept. 5.-The find
ing of no bill in the case of Policeman
w. L. Douglas, probably closes the
matter of placing the coffin on the
piazza of Rev. E. M. Lightfoot last
spring.
1t is understood that the grand
jury after investigating the matter
in June reported Policeman Douglas
to the solicitor, who drew the indict-
ment accordingly. After examining
Rev. E. M. Lightfoot, on whose piaz-
"a the coffin was placed, Mr.. Harry
C. Wannamaker, cashier of the Peo-
pies bank, and Assistant Postmaster
II. E. Boliver, in an effort to identify
the handwriting of the note attached
to the coffin, and Policemen Frank
Demars and J. B. Kelley, who were
on duty at the time, the grand jury
decided that the testimony brought
out was insufficient for holding Po-
liceman Douglas.

AbbeviIIe Pleased With Dispensary.

ABBEv1LLE, Sept. 5:-The people
of Abbeville were much surprised to
see in yesterdays State that there
was some talk of getting up a peh-
ton to vote on the dispensary. Alb
beville and Abbeville county have
both always been satisfied with the
dispensary and the way it has been
conducted here. The large majority
of citizens in Abbeville consider the
dispensary as run in Abbeville the
ideal solution of the liquor question,
and are very much surprised that
any steps are to be taken to vote it
out. The city is now building a new
city hall and the county new court
house, and if the revenue OF about
$4,000 per month be cut off taxes in
both city and county will be raised to
pay for these new buildings. How
ever, it is not thought Abbeville's
dispensary is in much danger, but
that it will be here when all the rest
are gone.
