OLD STONE CHURCH.
Annual Meeting of the Church and
Cemetery Association.

Clemson College, Oct 24.-- The
annual meeting of the Old Stone
Church and Cemetery Association
was held on the 18th instant at the
Old Stone church, near here.
The meeting was opened at II a.
IN. by a sermon from Rev. John G..
Law, of Walhalla, on "The Resurrec-
tion." A business meeting followed,
acting President J. Miles Pickens pre-
siding. A committee, consisting Of
Major B. F. Sloan, Of Seneca; DR.. E..
Clay Doyle, of Seneca, and J. Niles
Pickens, Of Pendleton, was appointed
to draft suitable resolutions on the
death Of the president, Major J. j.
Lewis. A resolution by Whitner S.
Symmes, on the death Of Mrs. G. X.
Livingston, was adopted.
The treasurer's annual report show
ed $103.93 spent on repairs to the
old church,; that the spring on the
church property had been covered
with a cement and stone arch at a
cost of s7.45, and that $16.75 had
beer spent on the care Of the ceme-
terry.
Two resolutions, offered by the
secretary, provided that the associa-
ton consider the advisability of cov-
ering the present roof with a metal
roof, and Of assuming the RESPONSE
bility Of placing railings and repair
ing fallen stones, trusting that inter-
ested parties will pay costs.
The election of officers for the fol-
lowing year resulted as follows: Pre-
sident, j. Miles Pickens, of Pendle-
ton; secretary and treasurer. r. N.
Brackett, of Clemson College; execu-
tive committee, ]. Miles Pickens. b.
Harris, of Pendleton; DR.. e. Clay
Doyle, Of Seneca; II. ]. Mauldin, OF
Pickens, and Rev. B. p. Reid, Of
Reidville.
The old church, which was built in
the latter part of the eighteenth CEN
tury, has been used since last Novem-
ber regularly for religious services.
Severa! Clemson cadets aid in carry
ing on Sunday school every Sunday
afternoon. The Rev. w. II. Mills, of
the Fort Hill Presbyterian church,
conducts services every third Sunday
afternoon.

Il. ID. SMITH ON COTTON.
Senator-eleCt Urges the Farmers to
Hold to their Crop.

Senator-elect e. d. Smith, of Flor
ence, was in Columbia one night last
week, and gave the following state
ment for publication regarding the
cotton situation:
Now that the election Is over and
my enforced absence from any active
participation in the fight for cotton at
an end. | am in the work to better
conditions If possible, and they are
possible. The present price Of cotton
Is reflection on the South. A small
crop last year and a small crop this
ear have, or should have. discounted
the effect Of the panic. Had there
been normal crop last year and
prices gone off on account OF the
panic 1t would have been natural,
perhaps, but with small crop at
home and abroad, with no fiatterjng
outlook for yield this year, present
prices are nothing short Of disgrace
to the business man and farmer.
Look at the prices of corn, oats,
wheat, lard, meat and hay, to say
nothing Of other commercial articles,
and compare these with cotton. Why
didn't the panic affect them? Be-
sides, about two-thirds of the Ameri-
can crop is sold in Europe. A panic
In America should not affect the buy
ing power Of foreign countries.
"It Is said that goods cannot be
sold at present prices, or are not be-
ing sold, because it would represent
a loss to the manufacturer. BY the
same token cotton should not be sold.
because 1t represents loss to the
grower. Because fifteen cents was
not realized last year Is no reason
why eight cents should be taken now.
1t really looks as II the purchasing
world was attempting to whip the
grower for revolving after four years
against the heir master. There is
manhood and money enough TO stop
this criminal foolishness, and lack
Of confidence and common sense.
"On Wednesday night of fair week
every man Interested in a higher
price for cotton Is asked to meet in
the city of Columbia, at the court
house, to discuss the situation and
join the other States In stopping the
sale Of cotton at present prices.
81 an on my way to Montgomery,
Ala, where I will address the farm
ers Of that State, and will bring a
report as to what they and other
States propose to do"

Columbia, Oct. 23.-The venerable
and beloved Dr.. A. Nj. Chreitzberg,
the nestor of the South Carolina Con-

Dr. ChreitzburS would have been
SS years old had he lived until De-
cember. The four score years allot-
ed to the strong were his, and every
year was year Of usefulness and
seWi ice. A year ago he received a
fall. resulting in breaking his hip
bone. by reason of which he had been
chair, but his general health was
good, and until Tuesday he was not
i'll. Then he had an attack of acute
Indigestion, which grew worse.
About 6 o'clock Wednesday morning
he passed into a coma, from which
he did not rally, the end coming at
10 o'clock.
The funeral was held Friday af-
ternoon at the Washington Street
church, and the interment was in
the churchy;.rd.
DR.. Chroitzberg is survived by his
wife, who was Miss Harriet Kilgore,
Of Newberry, and by the following
children: Rev. DR.. H. f. Chreitz-
berg, of the North Carolina Confer
ence, whose home is in Monroe, N.

Abel M. Chreitzberg was born in
Charleston December II, 1920, of
parents of German and Irish extrac-
ton. He went to school first in his
native city, then at Wilbraham, Mass.
in 1888 and 1884, and later in 1898
at Cokesbury. In 1889 he was mar

Rev. II. f. Chreitzberg Is the only
surviving child. His second marriage
to Miss Kilgore took place in 1878.
Since 1892 DR.. Chreitzberg has bee,
on the superannuated list of the
South Carolina Conference, but his
active work In the ministry did not
cease until his physical strength fail
ed him. For eight or ten years after
retirement he preached every Sum-
day at Central church, Sullivan's Is
land, or elsewhere, and although then
so years old he never failed to inter-
est and instruct his hearers. He was
always eloquent and earnest. He
was q prolific writer for the church
and sometimes for the secular press,
and his "reminiscences were most
readable. His history Of the South
Carolina Conference was a valuable
contribution to the church annals.

read paper on the progress made in
tick eradication in the South.

took charge of the work in 1906 ap-
proXimately $4,000 square miles had

ground for adulterated food and
drugs, but that of late the situation

THE PANAMA PURCHASE.
Roosevelt VIII BE Given Chance to
Explain Matters.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 23.-Representa-
tive Henry r. Rainey, of Illinois, an
nounced yesterday, through press
headquarters at the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, that he will, on
the opening day of Congress in De-
oember next, introduce resolution
calling for a Congressional investi-
cation of the Panama Canal purchase.
In discussing the matter, Mr.. Rainey
said:
II am sorry the Presidents letter
to Senator Knox did not take up the
matter of the Panama Canal pur-
chase. The President ought to be
able to tell whether or not his bro
ither-in-law and the brother of the
Republican candidate for the Fresi-
dency were interested in an Ameri-
can syndicate, which, 1t Is expected,
succeeded in getting control of the
securities Of the Panama Canal Com
pany, just before the Nicaraguan
route was abandnoed and the Pana-
ma route adopted.
1.-The President ought to be In a
position to know who the members
of the American syndicate were. The
country Is entitled to know all about
it., and l intend to see that 1t is
mace public. AS soon as Congress
convenes in December l will intro
duce resolution asking for the ap-
pointment Of a special committee
fully authorized to summon witnesses
and require the production of books
and papers to thoroughly Investigate
the matter.
"a resolution Of this character
would be privileged / expect to
make it my principal business in
Congress to see that this matter is
thoroughly Investigated"

his suit when Mr.. Latshaw requested
him to withdraw his motion and let
the custer go, which Judge Wallace
stated he refused on the grounds that

Tribute Levied on Consumer.

The consumer pays so much tax to
the protected tariff baron as the baron
secures by right of spoliation under
the tariff. The consumer cannot bene-
fit.
United States concerns make steel
for less cost than the manufacturers
of any other country in the world.
Yet the consumers of any other coun-
try can buy American steel for the
lowest prices, while steel users in this
country pay the highest.
The high tariff cannot increase the
wages of labor. Germany, France,
Spain and China are all high tariff
countries. Why is not labor in those
countries paid as good wages as here?
Manipulating the law Of value to le-
galize plumber is a losing game. Pa
ternalistic protection to a preferred
class destroys the rights of the citi-
zen. And high tariff is the means to
that end. One of these days the
American people will discover it, and
high tariff will be banished forever.

ROOSEVELT TO HIT BACK.
"BuIletts" for Congress if It Rebukes
Him for Secret Service Message.

Observation-Disclosures Roosevelt
never shoots in the air." said a
member of congress Saturday
to another who was asking if there
was any thought that the president
had bullets as well as powder to fire
back at the house and senate If they
should rebuke him in a resolution sav
age enough to bring a quick fire re-
Spouse.
The belief is that the president has
material which is contained in Off
cial but unpublished reports, which,
if made public, would cause conster-
nation In some fairly high places.
1t is not to be conceived that Roose-
welt wants to use this material if he
has it, but, for the thousandth time,
it must be said he is a fighter, and will
hold that self-defense does not consist
merely in parrying.
One of the most prominent repre-.
sentatives said Saturday that he had
no doubt at all that there could be a
response from the White House to
any censure that congress might in
f1ict, and that he believed some men
would be hurt.
