Arrest Man With Broken Neck.

New York, Dec. 10.-Theodore
William Peters, who claims the dis
tinction of being the only man living
with a broken neck, was before Mag
istrate Dooley, in the Adams Street
Court, Brooklyn, the records show
to-day, to answer to charge of in
toXication. He was arrested in a
Fulton street elevated train at Elm
place
According to Policeman Bresnan,
Peters was making himself generally
obnoxious, and attempted to whip
the conductor. He tried to jump
from the train when told that he was
under arrest. The prisoner denied
the charge and was held in order to
give the Charities Department time
to investigate his story.
Peters says his neck was broken
the day the cantilevevr bridge over
the st. Lawrence river at Qubec col
lapsed. In order to prove that his
neck was broken Peters took off the
harnesslike arrangement that keeps
his head erect. The minute the
harness was remov.1 l his head fell
forward upon his chest.

Liquor Firm Abandons Appeal.

Columbia, December 1.-THE Big
Springs Distilling Company, Of Sa-
vannah, Ca, has abandoned its ap-
peal to the State Supreme Court in
the matter of the finding of the dis
pensary commission. The amount Of
their claim was s25, 5,0067S, and the
amount of the judgment in their
favor by the commission was $8,-
$3.50, showing that overcharges of
about $4,000, including costs in the
United States Courts, were deducted
from the claim.
The company was represented by
Capt. C.. E. Dunbar, of Augusta, be-
for the commission. The abandon
ment of the appeal is taken as an ad-
mission that it is useless for the firm
to go into the Courts further in the
matter. 1t is stated that the Big
Springs people kicked considerably
on the finding of the commission in
their case, but now say latter due
and careful consideration" the ap-
peal to the Supreme Court is aband-
oned.
The State dispensary commission,
through Chairman w. J. Murray, of
this city, will forward the Big
Springs Distilling Company the
amount of the finding of the COM
mission SS,515.79.

Cotton Crop Normal.

Washington, Dec. 10.-Cotton has
gone beyond Is cents, so Senator
Smith is ndicated--nothing more
for him to do up here now. The
most sensational crop estimate was
given. out to-day by the agricultural
department and cotton, already near
ly Is cents, went shooting up.
July cotton wet to 1915, May
1867. The agricultural department
estimate of 10,0S8,000 bales means a
shortage from last year of over g.
100000 bales. 1t is bad for Texas
and Louisiana, where the shortage
is, but fine for South Carolina, where
the crop is normal.
Texas normally make 100000
bales. This year the estimate is g.
100000 bales. Louisiana, which
normally makes 100000, is put down
at but little over 100000, and so it
goes with all the Southwestern
States, while North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia are making
their normal crops. South Carolina
farmers, if they have not already
sold their cotton, ought to be in fine
shape for Christmas this year.
Senator Smith says that the con-
ditions this year have never had a
parallel, condition of weather, and
so forth, from which he figures out
that practically all the crop is gath
cred and that there is bound to be
shortage of cotton.

Queer Talk From q Preacher.

New York, Dec. S.-The Rev. DR..
William Wasson, of Riverhead, Long
Island, was the principal speaker at
the annual dinner Of the American
Wine Growers Association here. II
think the liquor business as legiti-
mate trade as any," he said. THE
prohibitionists have declared war on
every branch of the liquor traffic.
They know that by calling everything
rum they will give the business a
bad name. The movement has much
of deceit and hypocrisy.
For many years great religious
institutions have been teaching that
the use of anything alcoholic is a
sin. This doctrine is menace to
the industrial and moral welfare Of
our people, but the fault for its
widespread popularity lies mainly
with the ministers who detest the
prohibition movement but do not
make their opinions public.
"Four-ffths of the clergymen of
my denomination are opposed to pro-
hibition although they favor a sane
temperance. People are following
the prohibition movement because
they have been misled by misrepre-
sentation and fraud. Ninety-five per
cent. of those who use liquor, use it
temperately.
"The government should attempt
to popularize the lighter alcoholic
beverages The American wine grow
ers are producing our best temper

Driving Out Texas Fever.

According to a bulletin issued by
the board of animal industry of the
national agricultural department, the
federal quarantine against the Texas
cattle tick fever in Oconee, Pickens,
Greenville and Anderson counties has
been raised. This announcement
means that these counties are now
free of the disease and it is the first
territory in the State that has been
so declared by the government.
This State maintains a separate
quarantine against the fever giving
$4,000 annually for stamping out the
disease. When last reported upon,
the States quarantine covered Alb
beville Greenwood, Laurens, Spar
tanburg, Union, Cherokee, York and
Chester counties. The work of the
federal government in exterminating
the cattle tick was commenced in
1906 and since that time over $4,000
square miles of territory have been
freed from the tick and released from
quarantine.

The Jews.

eff the Jews of America we're all
gathered together in community
where there was no other creed or
people they could not live by their
own efforts 4S hours"
This declaration was made by Sam
uel Alschuler, a Jewish scholar, in
an address to the Kadimah, Jew
ish society of research.
'In such community" he de-
clared, there would be representa-
tives of every profession and none Of
trades. There would be a Jewish
doctor for every Jewish patient.
There would be many Jewish law
yers, civil engineers, more Jewish
merchants than customers, and many
Jewish pawn-brokers, but where
would you find the man to drive the
nails, to build the homes and till the
soil? You could not find them, be-
cause the Jewish parents object to
their children soiling their hands.
There should be less of this spirit,
among the Jews. There should be
more Jewish farmers"

CLOSING DOWN ON TIGERS.
Greenville Police Active in Round

Greenville, December 11.-Some

cial detectives who have been work.

The city Court held session al

day, and it seems probable that the
trials will continue through most of
the coming week. A large crowd at

REPUBLICANS MEET
Nineteen Congressman Plan to Con-
tinue Fight Begun in Spring.

Washington, December 11.-Nine-
teen 'insurgent" Republican Con-
gressmen met tonight in the room
of Representative Hubbard, of Iowa,
in the House Office building, and for
three hours discussed ways and
means of forwarding the fight begun
at the extra session against the
House rules.
The participants refused to admit
that any other proposition than the
one to amend the Cannon rules"
we're considered. The net result of
the meeting was the appointment of
two committees of five members
each. One committee was to map
out a plan of action regarding fur
ther procedure and presumably to
sound out the Democratic minority
on a Joint programme, and the other
was to take care of the subject of
publicity. Mr.. Hayes, of California,
who acter as chairman, said that If
vote were taken to-day in the
House to amend the rules that fifty
Republican votes could be mustered.
"The movement among the Re-
publican Congressman, to amend the
rules" he said, "is on the increase
and has been since the last session.
Every member at tonight's meeting
reported that the people Of his dis
trict were practically unanimous in
their support of their representatives
in this matter.
1T should be understood that we
are aiming only at the amending OF
the House rules. Upon the various
other propositions where the mem
bers have been classed as insurgents,
the views of all Of us vary. But we
are unanimous to the last man on
this proposition.

Saved from MOb'S Clutches.

Augusta, Ca, Dec. 9.-Julian
Lampkin, colored, charged with the
murder of Zack Kendrick, an aged
white man, was brought to Augusta
tonight by Sheriff Pearre of Columbia
county for safe keeping.
Mr.. Kendrick, who was 76 years
old, conducted a small store and late
last night, when summoned to the
store, was struck down. His skull
was crushed in and face gashed with
some sharp instrument. A neighbor
arrived on the scene and the assall-
ant ran. Kendrick stated to three
different people before he died that
Lampkin was his assailant. There
is considerable excitement over the
affair and it was necessary to bring
the prisoner here for safe keeping.

The Use of q Bit of Cheer.

There is nothing better for hu-
man being, sometimes, than a little
hearty praise. Many good people
conscientiously act on the directly
opposite, and seem to think nothing
better than a little hearty blame.
They are mistaken, conscientious in
their blame as they may be. There
are sore burdens enough in life, bit
terness and pain enough, hard work
enough, and little enough for it,
enough to depress man and keep
him humble-a keen enough sense
Of failure, succeed as he may; and a
hearty commentator, now and then,
will tighten his load and brighten
his heart, and send him on with new
hope and energy, and if he have any
reasonable amount of brains at all,
will do him no harm.
Children are sometimes heart
starved for a little hearty praise.
Boys will act up to the estimate put
upon them, or at least try to, if they
are worth their salt. A hearty word
of commentator is meat and drink
to them for the next endeavor.
It is so with men. The strongest
of us cannot walk without some rec
ognition of our work. We want to
know that it is considered good. Our
own judgments are not sufficient for
US. A "well done!" now and then
makes us certain of doing better still
in the future.
We are not speaking of the silly
nonsense of f1attery. We mean sensi-
BILE, honest, hearty commentator be-
cause a man deserves it. We mean
the showing that mans good work
is appreciated; that the doer is re-
garded for the doing, and that other
people are happy in his doing and
want to cheer him on to do more.
It will not hurt anybody, boy or man.

One on the Doctors.

DR.. Arthur T. Holbrook is credited
with the following:
A man by the name Of Evans died,
and went to heaven. When he ar
rived at the pearly gates he said to
St. Peter:
"Well, I'm here"
St. Peter asked his name. "John
Evans" was the reply.
st. Peter looked through the book
and shook his head.
"You don't belong here" he said.
"But l am sure I belong here" said
the man.
"Wait a minute" said Peter. He
looked again and in the back of the
book found the name.
"Sure," said the guardian of the
gate, ''you belong here, but you
weren't expected for 20 years. Who's
your doctor?"

FORESTS CONTRIBUTE MUCH.
Add 500, 100000 to Exports During
Fiscal Year of 1908.

Washington, Dec. S.-Forests of
the United States contributed $780,
100000 to the exports of the country
during the fiscal year, 190S-an in
crease of twenty fold since 1851.
Imports of forests products-chiefly
India rubber and other gums from
the tropics and lumber from Canada
have increased even more rapidly
than the exports. The imports in
creased from one and one-third mill
ions of dollars in 1851 to $122,000,-
900 in 1907, from which high mark
they fell off in 1908 to approximate
ly 100000.
A bulletin just issued by the de-
partment of Agriculture which COW
ers a period of ffty-eight years says
that during the first five years of
this period (1851-55) exports of for
est products amounted to only twen-
ty-four cents per capita and imports
were less than nine cents, whereas in
1908 the corresponding figures were
$1.04 per capita for exports and SLIP
for imports.
1t is interesting, says the bulletin,
to note the rapid increase in imports
VI "oOu pup. LII 1CCV OA1y pC,OVO
worth was imported; by 1890, this
value had increased to s1,S00,000
by 1900, to s2,400,000, and in 1908,
wood pulp to the value of 100000
las imported.
During the past ten years the i'm
price has increased from $40
long ton to nearly $31. Some
t5od pulp is exported but the amount
u small compared with the imports
and seems to be on the decline.
If you toot your little tooter and
then lay away your horn, there's not
soul in ten short days that will
know that you were born. The man
who gathers pumpkins is the man
who plows all day, and the man who
keeps a-humping is the man who
makes it pay. The man who adver-
tises with short and sudden jerks is
the man who blames the editor be-
cause it never works. The man who
gets the business has a strong and
steady pull, he keeps his trade and
paper from year to year quite full.
He plans his advertisements in
thoughtful, honest way, and keeps
forever at it until he makes it pay.
