CHARLESTON DEALERS
Doubt Practaeability of Importing
East Indian Cotton.

A special to The State from
Charleston says adyices have been
received in Charleston in the form
of inquiries. from the upper part Of
South Carolina with regard to the
importation of East Indian cotton as
"a substitute for the American sta
pie with a view OF the introduction
OF this cotton in the manufacture of
goods in this section but little seems
ito be known in Charleston regard
ing the matter.
1t isfsaid that President Ellison
Smyth OF the Pelzer mills and Presi-
dent H. G. Townsend of the Town
send twine mills have placed orders
for several hundredahale les-of the cot
ton and that other. mills in Ander-
son were doing or thinking about
doing the same thing. The importa-
tion Of the cotton which is Of shorter
staple will be, of course, in the ma
ture Of an experiment and, accord
ing to what has been learned in
Charleston, it is not known whether
the experiment will prove a success
or not.
Inquiry among some cotton people
elected some doubt as to the sue
cess of the scheme. 1t is said that
the East Indian cotton can be de-
livered at the mills in South Caro-
lima about cents a pound cheaper.
This is a close margin in the minds
of the handlers of the American
staple who seem to think that tn"
moment that there is any special de-
mand created for the foreign raised
cotton it will jump in price and prac-
tically cost the mill people as much
money as the American staple al
though less desirable.
AS to the proposed importation of
the cotton through the port of Char
lesion, nothing is known here save,
as just stated, that inquiries have
been received about it. The Char
lesion custom house Ias not been
advised of the coming OF any for.
eigu cotton carsces, and the ship
brokers here have not been informed
of any cotton of the kind being on
the voyage.
In Charleston where so much cap
ital is invested in the cotton mill
manufacture, much interest will at
tend the experiment about to be
made in upper South Carolina.

MILLS IMPORT COTTON
MEssRs. TOWNSEND AND SMITH
BUY EAST INDIAN PRODUCT.
If Shorter Staple Proves Satisfactory
1t is Said Large Orders Will be
Placed at Once.

President H. C. Townsend of the
Townsend twine mills and Presi-
dent Ellison A. Smith of the Pelzsr
cotton mill have placed orders for
several hundred bales Of East India
cotton, says a dispatch from Ander-
son., 1t is reported that other mills
in the Piedmont section have also
done likewise.
( The Indian cotton is of a shorter
staple than the upland cotton, but
is as white and smooth. The mills
are going to experiment with this
cottonrand if it. works satisfactorily,
and the mill men are confident il
will, large orders will be placed az
once.
1t is said the experiment is being
made with this cotton on account OF
the high price Of American cotton.
The Indian cotton was bought at
IL is cents f. O. b. New York. The
freight to Anderson is 56 cents per
100 pounds. This cotton can, there
fore, be laid down at Anderson for
about II IA cents, while the Ameri-
can cotton is bringing IL IA there
now. The saving Of 2 cents per
pound will be big item with tue
mills AMI, if the experiment proves
satisfactory, arrangements will be
made to bring large shipments from
an Indian port direct to Charleston,
by which % cents per 100 pounds
will be saved.

throueh message, received few
DAYS ago from Dr. Maurice Francis
Egan, American minister to Den
mark, conveyed her greetings to DR..
Frederick A. Cook and expressed

Dr.. Cook in an address at Hamil-

y. Barrill, the only man with DR..
Cook at Mount Mckinley. Barrill

Cook never reached the summit of
Mount Mckinley.

ceiyed and his address was generous
" applauded. DR.. Cook thanked his
large audience for its reception and
assured his hearers he would go up
the mountain again and obtain proofs
that he had made the first ascent. !"

THIS is FARMERS Day,
Saws Senator Smith-EXpects Cotton
to Go to Famine Prices.

United States Senator e. D. Smith
is in receipt of letter from Statis-
tician r. l.. Neal, with advance sheets
of circular to be sent out, show
ing that the most careful estimate
of the cotton crop this year indi-
cate a possible crop of 1O,52O,OO0
bales, agreeing with a recent esti-
mate issued by Senator Smith.
From exporters, Senator Smith
learns that 1t is expected if the gov
ernment report on cotton, issued
next week, confirms private advices,
cotton will be bound TO reach famine
prices. Speaking of the recent cur
taihment of production by the mills
the senator a few days ago at Flor
ence said:
The curtailment by the mills is
not because of the high price OF the
staple, nor the depression in the price
of goods, but because the spinners
see that there is not to be cotton
enough 10 keep the mills busy until
the next crop, and a shutting down
is inevitable. They make conve-
nience OF necessity now III rha MOLE
such action will depress cotton.
while they buy S"eedily wherever
they can, despite their agreement.
The farmers now have an oppor-
tunity to 500 r. Jw corporations sticH
TO their organizations when business
interests demand individual action,
just as was the case with the farmer
when he rushed his cotton 10 market
to their amusement, despite the
farmers organization.
This is now the farmers day,
thank God"

KILLED BY BROTHER
SHOOTING IN LEXINGTON THAT
PROVED FATAL.
The Coroner's Jury Returned Ver-
dict of Accidental Shooting and
Exonerates Slayer.

A dispatch from Lexington says
news reached there late Saturday
afternoon that Ross Boozer, white
man about 2S years old, had been
shot and instantly killed by his
younger brother, Daily Boozer, at the
home of the former, about 10 miles
from Lexington. The killing oc-
Cured about o'clock and is said
to have been an accident. The en-
tire load entered the mouth and face
Of the unfortunate man, making a
CHASTITY wound, it is said. Infor-
nation from the scene of the kill
ing 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 en-
cept Ross Boozer, his wife and DAILY
Boozer. 1t is said that the woman
asserts that the killing was an ac-
cident.
Ross Boozer had been married only
about year, and is said to have
been of a peaceable and quiet dispo-
sition.
A later dispatch from Lexington
says an inquest was held Sunday
morning by Coroner B. D. Clarke
over the body of Ross Boozer, the
young white farmer, who was kill
ed by his brother, DAILY Boozer, at
the formers home ten miles from
Lexington, late Saturday afternoon.
The jury returned a verdict of acci-
dental killing.
There were only two witnesses
sworn at the inquest, DAILY Boozer,
VITO did the shooting, and Mrs. Josie
Boozer, wife of the unfortunate man
that was killed. Each swore that
the killing was an accident. 1t seems
from their testimony: that Ross Booz--
er was lying on the floor picking
peanuts when he was shot. DAILY
Boozer was trying to extricate shell
from an old single-barrel breechload-
er and attempted to breech it, when
it was suddenly discharged. The en-
tire load took effect in the mouth,
passing downward through the heart,
and death was instantaneous.
Ross Boozer was buried Sunday
afternoon at St. Thomas church, in
the Dutch Fork. He leaves wife
but no children.
