The State Sunday Schools.
(GreenVille NewS.)

An announcement that will be of
great interest throughout the entire
State is that the next State Sunday
School Convention, which is to be
held at Rock Hill, will meet on Feb
ruary 10, 16 and II, 1910.
Early this year it had been
thought that the convention might
be held during the spring of next
wear, but the central committee of
the State Association, after full con-
Sideration OF the matter, decided that
it was best to hold the convention
during February. General Secretary
Way is already working on the pro-
gram, and it is anticipated that the
coming convention will be one of the
best ever held in the South.

DAN suLLY TALKS TO PARKER.
Says the Price OF the Fleecy Staple
Will Reach Fifteen Cents.
(Spartanburg Journal.)


Dan j. Sully, the cotton king, says
that the cotton mills vii, pay 15
cents for cotton before the close Of
the present year.
Several days ago a well known cit
izen of Spartanburg was passenger
on north-bound train between Spar
tanburg and Washington. On the
same train, seated in the rear of the
Spartanburg man, was Lewis w.
Parker, well known cotton mill
president, and Dan j. Sully. The
cotton king and the mill president
were talking cotton, and the follow
ing conversation took place:
Parker, we are going to make
you pay 5 cents for cotton before
the present crop is gathered" said
Mr.. Sully
Eyes, | believe the mills will pay
that price before next spring" said
Mr.. Parker, ''and l am buying all ]
can at the present prices, before the
big advance comes in the price of the
staple"
The Spartanburg man said he was
sitting near Mr.. Parker and Mr..
Sully and heard the full drift of their
conversation. He said that Mr.. Sully
was outspoken in his belief that cot
ton would take big jump in the
near future.

George Stone" to End.

Detroit, Oct. 16.-In the wreck of
the steamer George Stone, of Cleve-
land. Ohio, on Point Peele, Ontario
Wednesday, upper Lake Erie added
gruesome chapter to the story Of
marine disasters on the Great Lakes.
Six lives were lost and twelve we're
saved. Tonight the tail-end Of the
recent gale is lashing hopeessly
broken vessel that was not insured
and belonged to S. NJ. Aberdly, of
Cleveland. The six victims lost their
lives when Capt. Paul Howell, Peter
Daley, of Erie, Pa, who was a pas
senger, and six members of the crew
were capsized in the surf attempting
to go ashore for assistance. Two of
the crew clung to the overturned
boat four hours until they drifted
ashore.
Until daybreak the shipwrecked
crew remained in the forward cabins
and then began an anxious search of
the horizon for passing vessels. One
man was sent aloft with a bed sheet,
which he waved from the forward
mast. But though three or four
steamers came within sight none re-
sponded to the signal Of distress.
Fire added to the dangers Of the
situation at this point, the pilot
house being burned to the deck.

Darlington, Oct 16.-Van Clanton
shot and killed his son-in-law, John
Wilson, near Clyde, in this county,
early Wednesday morning The ori-
gin Of the trouble appears to have
been family quarrel in which Clan

his family against him.
Clanton sat up in his garden prac-
tically all night, and shortly after
coming to his house in the morning
Wilson appeared with his shotgun,
and without any words Clanton fired,
the load entering the left temple OF
Wilson, killing him instantly. Clan
ton went to Bethune and surrender
ed to the authorities at that place,
taking with him his gun and the
gun of Wilson.

Countess Buys II Saw Mill.

Budapest, Oct. 6.-Hungarian ar
istocratic circles are perturbed over
the act Of Countess SZechenyi, for
merly Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, who
recently purchased large saw mill
at Remete Vasgyar. Connected with
the mill there Is an extensive manu-
featuring plant which turns out all
kinds of cabinet work
The Hungarian women Of high
rank admire the young American
woman's enterprise and envy her
business ability, but hint that 1t is a
startling departure on the part of
one OF Hungarys noblest families.
They deprecate the business move of
the countess on the ground that it is
beneath the dignity of her station in
life.

cotton during the summer at less

Home of Her Niece Near Taber.
(Tugaloo Tribune.)

Mrs. Hepsie Henley Dickson,
widow of John S. Dickson, died at
the home of her niece, Mrs. j. A..
Knox, near Taber, on Sunday last, at
about 2.S0p. m. Although she had
been in feeble health for some time
and her death was expected, the sad
news was a shock to her numerous
relatives and friends. Mrs. Dickson
was "a years old, but one would not
have Judged her to have been so old
so well had her life been preserved.
Her maiden name was Terrell. She
and her husband, the late John
Simpson Dickson, had a large family
connection in this and adjoining
States. She leaves no children.
Mrs. Dickson was an excellent Chris
tian lady, and her manner and con-
versation bore testim ony that she
was reared in an atmosphere of cul-
ture and refinement. She had been a
useful member OF Chauga Baptist
church for long time. Her hus-
band died five years ago last August
The funeral of Mrs. Dickson was
conducted at the family burying
ground at the Terrell old homestead,
about mile below Jenkins's Ferry,
on Monday afternoon by Rev. ]. l..
Singleton, of this place.
