SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.
The first train into Spartanburg
over the c. c. & O., was welcomed at
the station yesterday by a crowd of
four thousand people.
- Greenville News: Perhaps the most
| important action, so far as this part of
the state Is concerned, at the session
Of the South Carolina Synod in Char
lesion this week was the decision to
adopt the recommendation Of the COM
| mittee on bills and overtures for the
division OF the South Carolina Presby-
| terry into two presbyteries, Of which
the counties Of Oconee, Anderson and
Pickens should form one. This action
was taken as the result Of an overture
from the South Carolina presbytery.
The recommendation Of the committee
was adopted, however, only after a
very heated discussion as to the advis-
ability Of 1t, during which 1t was plain
ly shown that there was a real opposi-
| tion in the synod and especially in
portions Of the South Carolina presby-
| terry to such action.
Columbia Record: DR.. c. Fred
Williams, state health officer, has re-
turned from Peoria, ILL.,, where he
went at the request Of the Illinois
health authorities to consult with
them about pellagra at Bartonville
state asylum for the insane. DR.. Will
liams states that he finds the same
type Of pellagra in Illinois that
there Is in South Carolina, but what
is a very striking contrast is the fact
that in Illinois the. disease has been
found outside of the state institu-
tion in only two instances, one Of the
cases having been brought into the
asylum for diagnosis while he was
there. The health authorities of IL
linois are puzzled over this condition
and cannot understand why they are
not receiving reports of cases from
physicians throughout the state, IL the
disease is as prevalent In Illinois as
the number of cases in the asylum
would lead one to believe. A dis
| ltinguished representative of the
Dominion Of Canada will be in CO.
lumbia in attendance upon the pella-
gra conference.
- Chester special Of October 2S to
The Charlotte Observer: Mr.. II. c..
Riser Of Whitmire, was in the city this
morning with the remains Of his son,
Mr.. Hugh B. Riser, who was injured
o'clock by coming in contact with a
live wire and who passed away yester-
day morning at II o'clock, after linger-
ing for that time in great agony. Mr..
Riser was a bright and promising
young man, % years old, and his tragic
death was a great shock to his aged
father and the other members Of his
family. After he was injured he fought
heroically for recovery, and asked that
news of his accident be kept from his
mother. From what information Is
available 1t seems that Mr.. Riser and
a companion, Mr.. Kilgo, went to work
Monday afternoon in the transformer
room, Mr.. Riser evidently being under
the impression that the current was
turned off, or forgetting that 1t was on.
He mounted a ladder some ten or
twelve feet high, and the next his COM
panion, who remained below, knew
there was a flash and the body Of
young Riser was falling to the ground.
Anderson, October 26: While the
price of cotton has been soaring dur
ing the past week or two, the cotton
seed market has been doing some
climbing Of it's own accord. It Is nat
ural that the price Of seed should go
high, because Of the shortness Of the
crop, but the competition between the
oil mills has been responsible for some
Of the jumps. There seems to be
more competition among the oil mills
than there Is between the cotton mills,
and at times 1t has been very lively.
Last week the price Of seed got up to
so cents per bushel on account Of COM
petition between local buyers, but the
price did not stay at this figure long,
nor did it reach this high notch at
more than one or two places. The
high price of seed means high prices
for all seed products, Of course. The
mills can now sell their oil at AZ or
43 cents per gallon, and some Of the
mill men think 1t will go higher yet.
Meal is quoted at $50 per ton and
hulls at So per ton. Linters are SELL
ing at two or three times the price
Of a year ago.

- Columbia Record, Thursday: To.
days session of the dispensary inves-
tigation was uninteresting, being de-
claim. Mr.. Fielder bitterly arraigned
the Lanahans, particularly Sam 7.
Lanahan, whom he referred to as the
"arch conspirator in corrupting the
states officials. Until death cut off
this moral monster" said Mr.. Fielder,

erywhere and has been traced by this
commission. We find them paying re-
bates according to fixed schedule, as
high as $25 a barrel" And yet" said
