efforts:
Lawrence Barrett had engaged me
to play another" one of his friends,
in Francesca da Rimini." / was en-
gagged to play at $25 a week, and
provide my own costumes. That
seemed easy enough, but after we.
had been out six weeks Mr.. Barrett
began putting on other plays of his,
repertory, and ] had to play several
parts in each, and that meant as
many changes of costume. l bought
what l could and borrowed the 9TH

played Julius Caesar / appeared
in four roles and got on very well
by borrowing, till the last act Then
all the other members were on the
stage and needed their costumes as
Roman soldiers. I did the best |

Germany faced the same great TIM
Der supply problem early in the nine
teenth century that the United States
faces today and in solving it devel-
oped heavy producing and well admin
istered forests which are models for
the rest of the world
A study of the systems of forest
management and wood utilization in
the two countries offers many inter-
esting comparisons. The United
States takes 260 cubic feet per CAPT
Ia annually from the forests; Ger
many uses but 81. In other words,
this country is already using seven
times as much timber per capita as is
Germany American forests are now
producing not more than II cubic feet
per acre; German forests are produc-
ing 4S cubic feet per acre annually.
Germany has reduced waste and con-
sumption and increased production.
The United States has as rapidly
growing tree sand as good soil as
Germany, and foresters say it is rea-
sonable to think that this country will
be just as successful as the European
country in high per acre production
when every owner of cumberland gets
down to proper conservation and de-
velopment of his forest property. 1t
is known that the United States must
continue in the future, as in the past,
to rely upon its own forests for the
great bulk of wood which is used. De-
spite the Introduction of many substi-
tutes, it is not possible to conceive
the time when it will be practicable
to do without wood for many uses.
this, foresters say, it follows
that as nation and as individual cit
liens everything possible must be
done to put the forest land of this
country upon a permanent productive
basis.
The ultimate aim must be to cut no
more from forests than they produce

each year, and to make their yearly
growth equal to the needs of the peo-
pie. As in Germany, forest conserya-
ton in this country means just two,
things, first, the fullest possible utili-
cation of the present supply OF tim
Der; which will make it last longer;
and second, the handling of forest
lands in such a way that succeeding
crops of timber will be secured.
At present only about one-flfth OF
our standing timber is in public for
ests This term is used to cover the.
national forests, state forests, the
timber on Indian and military reser-
vations, and national parks. These
forests are being managed according
to the principles of scientific forestry
so far as funds available for their adj
minstration permit While the ex-
tent of the public forests will undoubt-
eddy be increased in the future, it is
not likely that for very long time
to come they will contain even as
much as half of the timber supply.
Four-fifths of our forests are now
owned DV lHQlN IuudlS, GOLlpdh1CSs VI
corporations The manner in which
these forests are handled is, therefore,
of the utmost Importance in conserVa-
ton.
If the lumber industry in the Unit
ed States is to live, it means that
large manufacturers will have to pro-
tect and develop their forest proper
ty The land must be numbered with
care, fire must be kept out, young
growth protected, and every principle
of forestry applied to the manage
ment of the land so that it will con
tinue permanently productive instead
of becoming a burned over and bar
rem waste as has been the case OF
the forest regions which have passed
periods of excessive destruc-
ton as the result of careless lumber
ing methods.

Work Hard to Find.

In New York city there are $50. 0oo
men out of work and being partially
supported by friends and relatives. in
the bread line where provisions are
supplied, there is an average of 1000
every night. Whenever work outside.
the city can be found for these unem-
ployed, free transportation is fur-
n1shed to those who will 90 to the
new field of labor. In some districts.
the need of laborers is not so great
as represented, as is illustrated by the
experience of the New York CITY Bow
cry mission, which wrote to two
Omaha papers for confirmation of the
report that the demand for laborers
exceeded the supply. On receiving
the names of farmers who were said
TO be in need of help. the mission
wrote to them, but received a reply
that they had all the help they want
ed With the coming of spring it is
expected that the situation of the I'M
employed will be somewhat relieved.

Negro Kills Another.

Clinton, Oct. 31.-Ad Wallace, a
negro living on Guy Copeland's plan
tation, shot another negro, Otis Dav-
export, this morning about 10:30
o'clock. The shooting was done with
a .38 calibre pistol.
Drs. Walker and Lawrence Bailey
we're summoned at once and pro-
nounced the wound fatal. The man
lived until some time in the after
noon.
No particulars can be obtained of
the circumstances of the shooting.
1t took place in Ad Wallace's house
where gam bling of some sort was 60
ing on. The other men were in the
house awhile before the shooting,
"GeneraP' McNeill and Bluff Cannon,
but McNeill left before the shooting.
The other man, who is supposed to
have witnessed it, has not been found
since the shooting. Wallace ran out
and, meeting some other negroes, he
told them to go and get Davenport
out of his house; he had killed him.
Then, before any one couldstop him,
he ran and has not yet been found.
It is said that he had two pistols
in his possession. An empty whiskey
bottle, capacity one quart, was found
in the house.

TO BE FINE GOODS MILL.
Important Change to be Made in Orr
Plant at Anderson.

Anderson, October 31.-Mill No.
1 of the Orr Cotton Mills will be con-
verted into fine goods mill within
a short time. The order has already
been placed for the necessary machin-
cry. President J. D. Hammett de-
cided on this step some time ago,
and his decision was ratified at a
meeting of the board of directors
held a few days ago. Mill No. of
the Orr Cotton Mills, has been run
ming on heavy goods ever since it was
built, while mill No. has ben run
ming on fine goods. The whole mill
will now run on fine goods. 1t will
require some $4,000 or $4,000
worth of new machinery to make the
change, but the order for it has al
ready been given, as stated, and it
will soon begin coming in, and be in
stalled as fast as it arrives. 1t is ex-
pected to have the change effected
and the whole mill running smoothly
on the fine goods by the first of the
new year. The market for heavy
goods has not been satisfactory for
some time. There are too many
heavy goods mills, Mr.. Hammett,
says, and, besides, the profit on heavy
goods can never be as great on this
as on fine goods.

LUMBER PLANT BURNED.
Big Mill of Salkehatchie Lumber Co.
Near Olar, Burned.

Barnwell, Oct. 2S.-News concern
ing the big fire at Ulmer in this coun-
ty was received here tonight. The
Saltkeatchie Lumber company, locat-
ed a few miles from Ulmer on the
Saltkeatchie river, was totally de-
stroyed by fire yesterday afternoon
together with about 100000 feet
of lumber lying on the yard. The
fire was discovered about three
o'clock in the afternoon and it is be-
lieved that it was caused by hot
box under one Of the planers.
A large amount Of infammable
material was at hand. Before the
fire could be extinguished it had
spread to other parts of the plant
and assumed such large proportions
was doomed. Notwithstanding the
fact that the mill was equipped with
modern fire-fghting appliances and
that all of the operatives fought man
fully to save at least a part of the
plant and the lumber on the yard,
the whole plant was an entire loss.
It is impossible to ascertain tonight
the extent Of the loss and the amount
of insurance carried, but it is estimat-
ed that the loss will approximate
s25O,O00 with partial insurance.
The president of the mill, John Scho-
field, at the time of the fire was at
his home in Philadelphia. He was
Immediately notified of the loss and
is expected to reach Ulmer tomor-
row. Until he arrives it will not be
possible to learn the actual loss, the
amount of insurance carried or
whether or not the mill will be i'm
mediately rebuilt.
1t is understood that the company
has large timber interests in this
county and in all probability it will
rebuild the plant and resume opera
ton as soon as possible.

TRAIN KILLS OLD NEGRO.
John McRae, Respected Preacher,
Meets Sudden Death at Dillon.

Dillon, October 31.-Rev. John
McRae, colored, aged about 65, was
struck by second section of No. 79,
running extra South, this morning at
$50 o'clock and instantly killed.
The old man had started for an
appointment at Sellers in his buggy.
As he reached Railroad avenue he
failed to see the rapidly approaching
train. Several onlookers endeavored
to warn him of his danger and his
buggy was squarely across the track,
the horse having crossed, when he
was seen to raise himself as to leap,
when the pilot Of the engine struck
the buggy, hurting him as from a
catapult about 20 feet. His right leg
and right shoulder were broken, and
there were indications Of internal in
juries from the impact that caused
instant death.
McRae was one of Dillon's oldest,
and one among its best citizens. This
is the tribute paid by white and col
ored. By frugality, economy and
fair, honest dealing he had accumu-
lated quite snug property.
He belonged to a type Of his race
that is rapidly passing off the scene.
Formerly slave, he recognized the
white man as his friend and was
highly esteemed by both races.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the eustachian tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed. deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to. its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case Of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for cir
culars free.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example Of this is found in
Quaker Oats. It stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the Least expensive
food one can est.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully ON Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than If
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All Of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher Of Yale University in
1908. You'll find Quaker Oats in reg
ular size packages, and hermetically
sealed tins; the latter is best for hot
climates. &

Blame Laid on Bad Meat.

Atlanta, Ca, October 30.-It was
stated to-day that of the forty pupils
at the Georgia Military Academy at
East Point, eight miles from Atlanta,
who were stricken with what is be-
lieved to have been ptomaine poison
ing, more than half are now on the
road to recovery. The others also
are said to be improving.
Representatives of the LAGRANGE
Female College, at LAGRANGE, Ca,
to-day refused to give out any state
ment, relative to conditions there,
which are said to be similar to those
at the East Point school. The young
women who have been i'll, however,
are reported to be rapidly recovering.
While the Investigations have not
been concluded, the sickness at the
schools is declared to be due to eat
ing impure meats.

A Right and Natural Way.

We should learn a lesson as to the
price of cotton. AS soon as it was
definitely known that we had reduc-
ed the area 8 per cent. cotton went
up. When it was further known
that Providence had reduced the
yield by sending excessive drouths in
Texas and Mississippi, then prices
went to a still higher level. Then
what should we learn? That it is
up to us to regulate the supply ac-
cording to the demand at fair price.
We are not against warehousing and
holding for better prices; these are
means that all who are able should
employ; but we want all in THE
Union" and out of The Union to
note how much easier it is for us to
get a good price for cotton when
natural conditions favor us. There
is a right and natural way to do
things and wrong and unnatural
way to do them.-Southern Cultiva-

KILLED BY YOUNGER BROTHER.
Fatal Shooting in Lexington-Slayer
Declares it an Accident.

Declares it an Accident.
Lexington, Oct. 30.-News reached
Lexington late this afternoon that
Ross Boozer, white man about %
years old, had been shot and instant
ly killed by his younger brother,
DAILY Boozer, at the home of the
former, about 10 miles from Lexing-
ton. The killing occurred about 5
O'Clock and is said to have been an
accident. The entire load entered the
mouth and face of the unfortunate
man, making ghastly wound, it is
said. Information from the scene of
the killing is hard to get and meagre,
but it is understood that Daily Boozer
claims that he was cleaning up an
old gun when the weapon was dis
charged. There was no one at the
house when the killing occurred ex-
cept Ross Boozer, his wife and Daily
Boozer. 1t is said the woman as
serts that the killing was an &C
cident.
It is understood that Sheriff Cor
ley and Coroner Clarke will hold an
inquest over the body tonight or
early in the morning.
Ross Boozer had been married only
about year, and is said to have
been Of peaceable and quiet dispo-
sition.

SUICIDE MACHINE.
Drop a Penny in the Slot and Get a
Ticket for Eternity.


Washington, Oct. 29.-"Drop a
penny in the slot and get a ticket to
the other world might be the in
scription on a machine that is sug-
gested by Rev. DR.. Donald Guthrie,
of Baltimore.
DR.. Guthrie was talking last night
on "Calvanish" at the Metropolitan
Presbyterian church here. Coming at
the close of plea for wholesome
enthusiastic interest in life, was the
sentence:
Life has become so meaningless
and SO usless to some that advocate
the setting up of suicide machine,
where one can deposit a cent and be
killed easily and respectfully"

From Asylum to Prison.

Wilson, N. c., Oct, 30.-An inter
esting case was tried in the superior
court here to-day. On Christmas eve
1907, Roy Goshen went to the house
of Sarah Armstrong in this city and
killed her with a butcher knife
Goshen was then pronounced insane
and sent to an asylum. Recently
the authorities there pronounced him
sane and he was returned here for
trial. His defense to-day was in
sanity, but he was convicted and Civ
en- 10 years in the penitentiary. No
appeal will be taken.

Loss May Be Half a Million.

Olar, Oct. 29.-Salkehatchie Lum-
Der company, located about three
miles South of here, was entirely de-
stroyed by fire. The fire started in
the bottom floor of the mill, caused
by friction. AS no one was near this
part of the mill at that time the fire
gained too much headway to be ex-
tinguished when discovered. It was
undoubtedly the largest fire that has
ever been seen in this country. The
mill was a very modern plant
throughout, having planning mill
and dry kiln in connection. 1t was
the property of Schofeld Bros, Of
Philadelphia, and had been COM
pleted less than two years. 1t was in
stalled for the purpose of cutting the
timber in Salkehatchie river from
Bufords bridge to Broxton and was
accomplishing it's purpose success
fully. The output was about $4,000
feet per day. Practically all this
lumber was in stacks around the mill
and was consumed by the flames.
One of the bosses says there was s.
100000 feet on the yard. Every
house in the village was burned ex-
cept the Office and store, hotel, two
small cottages and few negro huts.
The exact loss is hard to estimate
just now but it will be something like
half a million dollars. The amount
of insurance carried is not known at
this writing, but it is safe to say that
it will not nearly cover the loss. The
once bright and thriving Schofeld is
to-day a bed Of ashes and debris. It
is hoped that the plant will be re-
built, as it was a big help to the
neighborhood in many respects and
gave employment to about 800 men.

SANDERS ACQUITTED.
Alleged Murderer Of Mayor OF New
port, N. c., Goes Free.

Beaufort, N. c., October 30.-After
five hours deliberation, the jury in
the case of S. ]. Sanders, who was
tried here on the charge of having
murdered Y. q. Newberry, mayor of
Newport, N. c., brought in a verdict
of not guilty.
The case was given to the jury at
8 o'clock this afternoon. Solicitor
Abernethy talked four hours in de-
livering his summing up address, and
Judge Guion spent an hour and half
in delivering his charge to the jury.
