Sunday News: j. Louis Will
Hanson, prominent young far

at Garrison's home at Gray Court,
a little town ten miles West of

ing, being conscious Tor s,me
time and realizing that he could

1t seems that young William
son was visitor at the Garrison
home as the guest of Miss Mary
Garrison, the daughter of Mr. j.
II. Garrison. Last evening Miss
Garrison and her visitor wer Q
alone in the family parlor. About
l l O'Clock it appears that Mr.. Car
rison went out on the piazza for
a drink of water. Observing the
young people he concluded from
appearances that the young man
was not acting as he should and
fired upon him with shotgun.
Mr.. Garrison came to Laurens
early this morning and gave
himself up to the officers. Bail
will be asked at once.
Mr.. Williamson died in three
hours. He received careful at

The load, from shotgun, took
effect in the abdomen.
The coroner'S inquest was held

To the Editor of the Lancaster News:
1t has occurred to me that it
may not be improper for me to
address you and other represent
ative editors in the Southern
States on subject which | be-
lieve to be OF great Importance
to the future prosperity OF our
section.
My duties require me to keep
in touch, as nearly as possible,
with business conditions through.
out the country, and especially
in the South. Since the Begin
ming of the business depression
from which the country is now
recovering, | have been greatly
impressed with evidence which
has come to me that, while busi-
ness all over the United States
has been unfavorably affected, =,
the effects of the depression have
been felt most severely, as a
general rule, in those communi-
ties the energies OF which are de-
voted principally to the produc-
ton Of single commodity, or of
a few commodities, and that
business has been relatively less
affected in those communities in
which production is more diversi-
fed. l have been impressed es
pecially with the fact that the
business depression has been
relatively less severe in those
Southern localities in which at
tention has been given TO the
growing of fruits and vegeta-
bles. There has b en- a steady
market for these products, and,
although prices have not in some
instances been as high as in
other seasons, | believe they have
generally yielded profits to the
growers.
The press of the South has
already accomplished much by
advocating diversification of
agriculture and manufacturing
and, looking back over the past
25 years, we can realize that
much has been accomplished in
this direction. | believe, how
ever, that the time is especially
opportune for continuing our
efforts in this direction and for
urging that each Southern com,
munity shall make the most of
the opportunities which re-
vival of business will open up to
it.
Nature has favored the South
with practically inexhaustible
resources of great variety, and
the industrious and resourceful
Southern people have shown
their ability to take up and carry
to success new lines of industry
| believe, therefore, that you
will agree with me as to the de-
STABILITY of encouraging still
greater diversification Of indus
try in the direction of utilizing
to the fullest extent the natural
resources of our section.
Without attempting to enum
crate the lines in which progress
in this direction is possible,
would suggest that, in many 10

that, In connection with a larger
production of fruits and vegeta-
bles, there a1e many localities
in which canning and preserv-
ing Industries might proftably
be carried on more extensively
than at present.
Industriaily, l believe it
should be the aim of the South
to add TO the profits Of produc
ing raw materials the profits of
manufacturing, by converting
Southern raw materials, as far
rs possible, into articles ready
for use. AS indicating what may
be done along this line, l may
refer TO the cotton textile indus
try. Although the South has
substantial monopoly in the pro-
duction of the most widely used
textile fibre in the world, some
of us are old enough to remem-
ber when it was believed in
many quarters that cotton manu-.
featuring on large scale could
not be established successfully
in the South. The Southern
people first demonstrated their
ability to make the coarser grades
of cotton fabrics, and they are
now demonstrating their ability
to make the finer grades as we'll
and to bleach and finish the pro-
ducts of their mills. l think we
may look forward with conf
dence to the further development
of this great industry and of in.
dustries depending upon it, such
as the manufacture of cotton
goods into articles of clothing
ready for wear
| might enumerate a long list
of opportunities for the further
development of manufacturing
1t would include the conversion
on larger scale, of Southern
made leather into boots and
shoes, harness and belting, in
Southern factories, and the con
version of the products of South
ern forests and mines into long
list OF articles ready tor use. /
have said enough, however, to
suggest to you the point / wish
to make, which is, that | believe
that all Of us who have the pros
perity of the South at heart
should do all in our power to en-
courage the diversification of
Southern industry and the con-
version in Southern factories of
Southern products into articles
ready for use rather than their
shipment to other sections in the
form of raw materials or of
partly manufactured commodi-
ties. | need not assure you of
my great interest in every move
ment for the advancem ent of a
Southern community, and you
know that this company through
its Land and Industrial Depart.
ment, stands ready at all times
to cooperate in every proper
way with individuals and COM
munities along it's lines for the
estab ablishment of new industries.

ton as may be desired by each

SURGICAL POSSIBILITIES.

while he is fearfully and wonderfully made at
the start he is still more so by the time he has
lived his life and the surgeons have finished add

Frequent dispatches have appeared IN the
papers relative to the manner in which reforma-
tions have been accomplished by surgical oper-

pie twist of the surgeons wrist Is transformed
into a model man, who may, presumably, sit on
81 jury and help send TO prison some other un-
fortunate who lacks the facilities for reforming
along modern lines. The stupid boy in school is
made bright, and the youth who plays hockey
instead of being treated by the birch bough, as
would have been the case half a century ago, Is
now bundled off to the hospital and comes back
with code of morals which would make that of
Confucius look like the constitution signed by
the members of a Black Hand organization.
Carried to it's logical conclusion, this new de
velopment of surgery possesses still more Won
derfuI possibilities. When we find an individual
whose management of a financial Institution is
such as to give rise to the impression that he
considers himself amenable only to higher laws
than those which his fellow men have placed on
the statute books, we have only TO take ham
mer and chisel and chop off that portion of his
brain which is the cause of his moral Obliquity

getting more than its share of the business OF
the country, while it may have no soul, 1t will
be possible to gather together its collective era

rather the unnecessary ones-may be rubbed out

CLOSING Up IN NEW JERSEY

The campaign in New Jersey draws TO a close
with ample grounds for confidence in Repub-
4ican success so far as the national and Con-
gressional tickets are concerned. New Jersey
revolted overwhelmingly against Organized
Democracy in 1896, and has never since shown
any inclination 10 alter the Judgment which
WAS then recorded The common sense Of the
state is much opposed 10 dubious dallyings
with government ownership of railroads and
insurance of bank de'sositS as ii was TO 5O-cent
dollars and scuttling out OF the Philippines Nor
has it seen anything in Democratic legislative
proposals IN Congress 10 move it TO desert the
Republican policies under which its vast and
varied industries have attained so great pros
perity.
There is an equal assurance of Republican
success on the STATE ticket provided that a full
and intelligent vote is cast in some few coun-
les where grossly disingenuous attempts have
been made to confuse issues and malign faithful
Legislators. 1t is not 10 be doubted that a Re
publican majority will be returned TO the As
sembly and also 10 the Senate, but desperate
efforts are being made by the Democrats and
their allies TO win one or two Senate seats. In
order 10 secure those votes in the Legislature
which viii choose the next United States Sen
ator. We have already fttngy characterized
some of the attempts which have been made
10y the bearing Of false witness TO discredt
Senator Ackerman. There is no doubt that
they will fail and that he will be handsomely
reelected In the adjoining county of Somerset
we believe there will be a similar result though
tbe somewhat closer division of parties there
and the singularly dishonest or misconceiyed
character of the opposition TO the Republican
ca ndidate. Mr.. Frelinghuysen, bespeak the ne
cessity Of energetic work tomorrow if that val
liable public servant is to be returned 10 his
place.
We need not again dwell upon the report
of the Bryanized Peoples Lobby" save TO say
that IL Is as unfair and uBtruthful toward Sen
ator Freiinghuysen we have said it is toward
his colleague in Union County. There was no
more effective advocate of measures of the
highest importance 10 the public than was he,
