Advice to Hunters.

Already the hunters are looking
around for dogs and rubbing up their
guns. According to the law, the per-
son hunting, fishing or roaming over
the lands of another without per-
mission is a trespasser. Ignorance
is no excuse. The plea only aggra-
Yates the offense. If farmers want
birds killed, they will no doubt invite
some of their cunning friends to do
it when the season opens.
Do not hunt on lands of others
without permission. Never carry a
loaded gun while riding in a buggy
or vehicle. When the days hunting
is over take out the cartridges. IT
birds are abundant do not kill them
all at once. There was a good cltl-
zen of another county that was fond
of hunting. He estimated the num-
ber of birds actually needed by the
family for their dinner. When he
bagged that number not another one
would he shoot, even if one attempted
to bite him.
If farmer notifies you that he
wishes no shooting on his premises
do not sass him, but ask his pardon,
act the gentleman and get in such
a god humor that you will have his
respect.

ReverSes Decision.

Anderson, Oct fudge Robert
Aldrich has reversed his recent de-
cision, which was that municipal
courts have no jurisdiction to try
liquor cases. This decision he made
when he presided over general ses-
sions court here two weeks ago. His
reversal was made at Pickens this
week when a case charging a mer-
chant at Easley with selling whiskey
was appealed to the circuit court.
Judge Aldrich stated, so Pickens
visitor in Anderson to-day said, that
his decision at Anderson was made
just prior to adjournment of court
and before he had time to look into
the law. After mature thought and
after consulting the statutes the court
has decided that he erred in Ander-
son. In the appeal before him
at Pickens Judge Aldrich sustained
the mayor of Easley, but he or
dered the fine of $50 reduced to
$500. 1t is ont known twheth-
er Judge Aldrich is going to
reverse his decision in the Anderson
cases or whether he is going to allow
them to go on to the supreme court
for ruling. The Easley case was
identical with the case in Anderson.

Mills of the World to CurtaI.

Boston, Oct. "a gigantic move
ment born of unrest of long standing
is in progress throughout the leading
cotton textile districts of the world,
looking towards a general curtall-
ment of production during the re-
naming months Of the year and IN
1910.
The principal reasons advanced for
the movement are the gradual in
crease in the cost of the raw material
and the failure of the dry goods mar
kets to respond in way which would
assure continued profits to manufac-
turers during the next twelve months.
On September 18th, the Arkwrlght
Club, of Boston, representing a.
000, 900 out of the 100000 spind-
les in New England, sent out to all
the cotton mills in this district the
forms of the agreement for sigma
lures for a curtailment. The propo-
sition calls for a suspension of work
for 224 working hours, the agree
ment to become effective when no
less than 100000 spindles have
been signed up.
The curtailment has also been
taken up by the Southern cotton mill
owners. Yesterday the Board of
Governors of the American Cotton
Manufacturers Association at Char
lotte adopted resolutions setting
forth their claim that the present dis
parity between the price of cotton
and cotton goods precludes the possi-
:bility Of the successful operation OF
the Southern mills.
A committee was appointed to for
mulate a curtailment agreement
which every mill in the South will be
urged to sign.
In certain cotton producing and
selling centers the claim is made that
the present curtailment movement Is
largely an attempt to hold down the
price of the staple.

Cotton Stocks Not Too Large.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct 8.-Henry S.
Reed, editor of The Cotton Journal,
has issued a statement about the al
legged large stocks of that commodity
carried over and now held in reserve.
He says:
Statements have been made rela-
tive to the enormous stocks of cotton
carried over, etc. But the carry
over, as shown by the following fig
ures for September l, 1908, and Sep
tember 1, 1909, was but normal.
"Spinners stocks in Great Britain
on September l., 1908, were 100000
bales as against 277,000 bales on
September 1, year ago, or an actual
shortage Of $4,000 bales this year as
compared with last.
"Spinners stocks on the continent
of Europe September /, 1909, aggre-
gated 1,324,000 bales against 1,187,-
900 September one year ago. This is
an actual increase of $4,000 bales,
making the increase in foreign stocks
September /, 1909, over September 1,
1908, $4,000 bales or enough to run
the continental mills three days, or
or enough to run English mills five
days. The English mills used $4,000
bales per week during August, 1909,
and $4,000 bales during August,
1908. The continental mills used
10000 bales per week during Au-
gust 1909 and 1908. The total
weekly consumption abroad during
August, 1909, was 100000 bales
against $4,000 during August,
1908"

Farmer Killed at Ginnery.

Rock Hill, Oct. 8.-Mr. Geo. w.
Browne, a prominent and well-to-do
farmer of this county, living in the
River Bend section, east of this city,
was so badly injured at his ginnery
this morning about o'clock that he
died a short while afterwards.
1t is not known just how the acci-
dent occurred, but Mr.. Browne was
around the engine and it is supposed,
there being no one else near at the
time, that his clothing got caught in
CINE and he was whirled around the
gine and he was whirlled around the
shafting, possibly several hundred
times before he was discovered, and
the engine stopped. When taken out
both legs were found to be broken
and he was badly injured otherwise.
Drrs. Fennell and Stevens, of this
city were hurried to his home in au-
tomobiles and rendered every service
possible but to no avail.

Wire EIectrocutes Editor.

Waycross, Ca. Oct. GA. P. Per
ham, Jr, editor of the Waycross Her
aid, was instantly killed in an cleo
trio storm of violence which swept
over this city to-day, destroying tele'
phone and telegraph wires and throw
ing live wires about the streets. A
number of horses, some of them fine
animals, met instant death in coming
in contact with the wires, while there
was danger everywhere.
That no one met death except Mr..
Perham is regarded as surprising.
Mr.. Perham was on the street near
the office of the Southern Express
company when a wire dangling from
pole struck him. He dropped to the
street dead Mr.. Perham was one OF
the best known men of this section,
having been in the newspaper busi-
ness here for years.

BADGERING COUPLE FINED.
Tried to "Frame Up" Graniteville
Couple, But Were Unsuccessful.

Columbia. Oct "a Well-dreSSed
couple, giving their names as Mr.. and
Mrs. F. E. Smith, and their alleged
victim, a sheet metal worker on his
way to Charleston from New Or
leans and who gave the police the
fictitious name of j. C. Jones, were
before the recorder Saturday morn
ing as result of an alleged attempt
on the part of MIR. and Mrs. Smith
to badger Mr.. Jones out of $50 at
the Columbia hotel Friday night.
MIR. and Mrs. Smith were fined $40
each and Jones had to pay fine of
$40 for going to the hotel with Mrs.
Smith and registering Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones.
Jones said he met Smith on the
street and they had some beer to-
gether and when he told him a hard
luck story he let him have 81 out of
a roll of s4S.00 he had. Smith pro-
posed that they go to the hotel and
meet Mrs. Smith and little later
the three went out and drank some
together. Smith left on some errand
and Jones and the woman went back
to the hotel and registered as Mr..
and Mrs. Jones. They went to the
Smith room and in about three-quar-
ters of an hour Smith came in, great
ly outraged. He demanded $50 for
his wounded feelings, drawing a big
knife. Jones says he told him that
he could not pay this. Jones defend
ed himself as best he could while
Smith slashed at him, cutting his ear.
Mrs. Smith told the recorder that
she had not passed as Mrs. Jones, but
that was the name she gave at police
headquarters. She also denied that
anything was said about money when
Smith came into the room, but Smith
had already admitted that he de-
manded $50 as compensation for his
wounded feelings.
A couple sitting on back seat IN
the court room were several times
referred to in the evidence, and after
trying the Smith-Jones case the re-
corder called the couple up to know
what part they had in the affair. The
couple gave their names as Mr.. and
Mrs. Amos Arnold, of Graniteville.
Mrs. Arnold is related to number
of people in Edgefeld. She said that
Mrs. Smith had proposed that she go
to Charleston with Jones, but that
she had Indignantly repelled the sug-
gestion. The recorder was satisfied
and dismissed them.
