Dear Sir
Referring to the recent agitation on
the question of dcpositing papers and
refuse in the streets and alleys of Elko,
and the burning of same thereon, the
writer would very much like to he ud.
viscd what disposition tho merchants
are to make of papers and refuse IL
they are not permitted to burn same In
the alleys at the rear Of the places of
business. ...
They certainly hayc no right to lie.
post same OH any II clse's property
since should they attempt to do 80 they
would he committing Il trespass in the
eyes Of the law. As far as the writer
can see there Is no other way to dispose
Of waste papers and refuse except by
burning, which the local authorities
should. permit; unless tho commissioners
will furnish en- arts to collect such refuse
and have IL taken to some convenient
place to bc disposed Of in q ann to
bc decided by them.
Several arrests have been made here
on complaints loigcd on this score md
I wish TO state that in my opinion m
every case whore II fine was imposed n
a rank injustice was done. a remedy
should I've provided for this matter just
ns speedily IN possible.
Yours truly,
MEurttA A.r,

Lyceum This Evening.

At the Academy of Music this
evening will appear the opening per-
formance of the lyceum course for
Orangeburg this season. The man
agement of the Academy of Music
has been diligently working for some
time to make this one of the most
successful seasons the local play
house has seen in the lyceum line.
There remains only a very few seats
unsold, and. it is expected when the
curtain goes up this evening every
seat in the house will be occupied.
AS has already been stated in these
columns, Floyd Featherston, who
with his many odd musical instru-
ments, will appear, and it can be
said without any hesitancy, that he
has few equals on the lyceum plat
form today. This performance is
under the auspices of the RadcliG
Bureau.
The prices charged are very rea-
sonable, considering the class of
performance presented. Reserved
seats are IS cents, general admis-
sion so cents and gallery rs cents.

NARROW EsCAPE FROM DEATH.
MIR. james Wise Badly Beaten UP by
Negro Man.

A dispatrh from st. Matthews to
The News and Courier says Mr..
James Wise had q narrow escape
from death Sunday in an alteration
with q negro, Tom Sumter, six miles
north Of st. Matthews. Tom Sumter
was suspected Of stealing thirty dol
lars from a little store in the neigh
borhood the night before. The store
was run by Ben Wise, white. He
and his cousin, Jim Wise, went to
the negro's house tc investigate,
when the latter pulled his knife and
proceeded to carve Wise. His clothes
were almost cut from his body and
several ugly gashes were made. Had
the negro's knife not finally missed
its mark and broken of in the wall
of the house, Mr.. Wise's life would
most probably have been shifted out.
Sheriff Dantzler Is away, but his
deputy, Mr.. Fred Hungerpiller, with
the white citizens OF the neighbor-
hood, are hard on Sumter's trail and
he will probably be bagged within
the next twenty-four hours.

One of the Drains.

1t is said that R. P. Sears Of the
mail order firm of Sears. Roebuck
& Co., has retired from business
after 25 years activity. He piled up
net profits OF SIS, ,0OO,ooo-about a
million dollars year. Many who
will read this assisted him. The
patrons Of his and similar houses
think they are making bargains
when they pass by the home mer-
chant and send their orders for mer-
chandise to faraway houses. A good
part of the fortune which Mr. Il. r.
Sears has retired on should right
now be invested in business enter
prises in Orangeburg and other South
Carolina towns; should be paying
taxes in part support or pubic
schools aud State and municipal

CHARLEsTON's FESTIVAL WEEK.
Outline Of Few Of the Chief
Events.

Charleston, Oct. 14.-Special. The
Festival week starts off on the first
day, Monday, October 25th, with q
magnificent spectacular exhibition by
the knights of Pythias. This seems
to insure a very large proportion
of the arrivals on the opening day
of the Festival, and it Is appropri-
ate that there should be such q
compelling event that day, for this
week will be one to be remembered
among the most interesting. and de-
lightful weeks in the history Of our
State
On Tuesday night the first concert
is given. On Wednesday afternoon
and evening there will be concerts
and on Thursday afternoon and
evening there will also be concerts.
The committee on amusements
have sent special agents to the north
to select an assembly of the most
educational and instructive, yet in
teresting entertainments that could
be obtained in the eastern part OF
this country.
1t Is proposed to make a magni-
ficent, brilliantly lighted midway on
large open: space. located convent
emily to the car lines, around which
the cream of these entertainments
will be grouped. Arrangements have
been completed at heavy expense for
the converting of King street into
veritable golden highway each
night on scale that can be equalled
nowhere in this country, except on
the larger thoroughfares of Broad
way in New York City.
On Frilay evening will be seen
what will be to many Of us a de-
lightful revival of the years gone
by. The committee on illumination
proposes to concentrate on that night
the entire appropriation for fire.
works and gunpowder display, in
stead of scattering this over two or
three evenings, as has been the cast
in several recent years.
1t Is promised that the result will
be such as to fittingly announce the
final nights celebration of this mem
orable week, in anticipation of which
80 much work and energy Is now be-
ing expended in Charleston.

WANT CHEAP COTTON
ALL MANUFACTURED GOODS
MUST GO UP IN PRICE, OR
The Cotton Mills All Over the South
Threaten to Curtail the Output

There Is a great deal of interest
In the action Of the American Cot
ton Manufacturers Association re-
garding curtailment of production,
following the proposition formulated
at the board of governors meeting
in Charlotte last week, says the Co.
Iumbia Record. 1nis was about the
only topic of Importance seriously
considered at this conference.
The meeting was held at the office
of the association. President Lewis
W. Parker of Greenville was in the
chair. There were present about
twenty-five manufacturers including
the officers of the association, the
members Of the board of governors,
and a few special guests, recruited
mainly from former officials of the
organization. The session was al
together harmonious.
After. considering the status Of the
industry, the disparity between the
price Of raw cotton and cotton prod
ucts, with comprehensive discus
sion as to causes and effects, the fol-
lowing resolution was passed:
Resolved, That in view of the
disparity now existing between the
price of cotton and cotton goods, we
resolve:
Il. That g committee Of five be
appointed to formulate curtail-
ment agreement.
"2. That we recommend to every
mill which is in position to do so
to sign this agreement and enter
uron q general curtailment until the
price of goods becomes on a parity
with the price of cotton"
To formulate this curtailment
agreement, the following-named
manufacturers were chosen: Messrs.
D. A. Tompkins OF Charlotte; Lewis
W. Parker Of Greenville, S. c.; w.
A. Erwin, Durham, E. A. Smyth,
Greenville, S. G.. and T. H. Rennie,
Pell City, Ala.
Secretary Bryant will mail let
tiers to all the members of the as
'sociation within the next day or two.
Each of these letters will contain a
copy of the resolution passed at this
meeting of the board Of governors,
with reasons why such action was
taken and enclosed will be the fol-
lowing agreement which the members
of the association can sign If they
so desire, if they do so they will be
expected to return them to the Of
fcers of the association in order that
they may be turned over to the COM
mittee. The agreement is as fol-
lows:
Eve, the undersigned, agree to
curtail, operation of our mills one
day or more each week until goods
advance to a parity with the price
of cotton.
"This agreement is conditional up
on signatures by manufacturers rep
resenting 60 per cent of the spin
dies of the association and will be-
come operative upon statement by
the committee to this effect
Some idea of the Importance Of
the American Cotton Manufacturers
association and what general cur
tailment by its members will result
in may be gained by the statement
that it represents about 20,Oe0,0OO
spindles.
