Able to Feed it's People.

Washington, Oct. 31.-1n spite of
the declaration that the production
of foodstuffs is not keeping pace with
the growth of population, the De-
partment of Agriculture has issued a
statement showing that the United
States is more than holding its own
in the task of feeding it's people.
The bureau of statistics is authori-
ty for the declaration that during the
fiscal year the imports of farm pro-
ducts into the United States were
valued at $540,000,000, which was
100000 less than in 1905, and
sS7,O00,000 less than in 1907.
That the American farmer is awak-
ening to the necessity for closer and
more intensive cultivation of his land
is evidenced by the fact that during
seven years prior to 1900 more than
one-half of the total imports in the
country consisted of farm products.
In the nine years since 1900 much less
than one-half of the imports have
been products of the farm.
A peculiar feature of the report Is
the fact that with the exception Of
sugar, of which the expectation from
Hawaii increased $12,000,000 and
from Porto Rico $4,000,000, there
was no increase in agricultural pro-
ducts from any of the dependencies
of the country. In fact there has
been a decided material decrease
from the nations insular possessions.

Accepts Peary as Discoverer.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Commander
Robert E. Peary practically was ad-
dressed as a discoverer Of the North
Pole by the National Geographic So
ciety to-day.
Every indication points to the fact
that Peary's personal statements be-
fore the subcommittee Of the society
to-day convinced it's members that he
had put his foot on the top Of the
world. The explorer has been invited
to deliver the first Of his public lee
lures before the society here on No
vember IL, and it was pointed out to-
night that had the proofs been open
to the slightest question he would not
have been asked to appear.
It was announced tonight that pub
lie statement of the findings Of the So
ciety would probably be forthcoming
on Wednesday. This rapidity in de-
termining the genuiness Of Peary's
claim that he reached the pole on
April 6 last is taken to mean that
there is no uncertainty Of opinion
among those who are delving into
his records and they are convinced OF
his honesty.

Justice Fuller Causes Sensation.

Washington, Nov. 1.-Chief Justice
Fuller created a mild sensation in
the supreme court of the United
States by announcing that papers in
the case of the Yellow Poplar Lum-
Der Company versus S. F. Chapman
would be stricken from the records
of the court because of their scan
dalous nature.
The case came up on an option of
the right of asking for a review of
the decision of the United States cir
cult court of appeal: for the fourth
circuit. The controversy involves a
contract by Chapman to deliver to
the company fifty million feet of lum-
ber in Virginia.
The chief justice did not quote any
portion of the papers, but, referring
to them in a general way, said they
were $50 impertinent and improper
that they would be stricken from
the docket in order to protect
the records of the court from scan
dal."
A petition for a writ of review was
denied.

In conversation with friend of
ours a week or two ago he said he
believed we were the most plain
spoken editor in the State. We told
him there was no reason why we
should not be, for our paper was not
edited from the business Office, and
We expressed our opinions honestly
and yet decently. We never hit be-
low the belt or say anything unfair
or unkind. We crticise public SER
wants sometimes, but while our
language Is usually plain, we are not
unfair, and we never Intentionally
wound the feelings of any one. We
have no animosities to avenge, and
our criticisms are always honest and
we believe them to be just.

Try Farnum in Chester.

Chester, Nov. lit is understood
that the Chester county grand jury
will be handed this afternoon or to-
morrow an indictment charging
James S. Farnum, of Charleston,
with bribery.
Sessions court commenced here this
morning and the presence of Attor-
ney General Lyon and the fact that
several witnesses who testified
against Farnum recently in Co.
lumbia have been supoenaed to ap-
pear before the grand jury gave rise
to the rumor about Farnum.
Attorney General Lyon has been in
consultation with Solicitor Henry,
but it has been impossible to get any
statement from him.

Twelve Men Perish.

Johnstown, Pa, Oct. 31.-Twelve
men were killed in the Cambria Steel
company's coal mine, two miles from
here, tonight, as the result Of what is
supposed to have been dynamite ex-
plosion. All the dead are foreign
ers. Three men escaped with their
lives by a perilous climb on life lad
ders through poisonous mine gas and
falling slate up the walls OF the main
shaft. At the time Of the explosion
only Is workmen, all track layers,
were in the mine.
The explosion occurred at sun
down, as the workmen were putting
their tools away at the end of their
days work. Hundreds of persons
gathered at the mine entrance within
an incredibly short space of time.
A force of men, working in shafts,
began clearing the debris and fallen
slate in the lower levels Of the mine.
It was hours before the workers gain
ed perceptible headway. When the
final barrier of rocks was passed the
rescue party found IL forms huddled
close together, the bodies indicating
that the men had died Of suffocation.
Mine officials refused definite infor-
nation as to the cause Of the dis
aster, saying they were awaiting the
arrival of State mine inspectors to-
morrow.
The dead were brought to the mine
mouth late to-day. None of the bod
les have been identified. Work tags
corresponding with the checks of the
killed laborers will not be available
until tomorrow.
A majority of those about the mine
mouth and the rescue party say that
the accident was undoubtedly the re-
suit of an explosion of dynamite, but
mine officials deny that the explosion
could have been caused by the explo-
sive, stating that all powder and
blasting material we're removed from
the mine at the close Of work Satur-
day.

Cotton Mills Resume.

Spartanburg, Nov. 1.-The cotton
mills of Spartanburg county which
closed down about ten days or two
weeks ago, resumed operations this
morning The mills that closed down
were the Spartan, Pacolet, Clifton,
Whitney, Arkwright, Glendale and
Lockhart. the latter being in Union
county.
The shutdown came as a result of
the high price of cotton. There has
been some improvement in the price
of manufactured goods though it has
not reached that point where goods
can be manufactured at profit when
they have to pay 14.75 and Is cents
for cotton. The outlook for greater
advance in the cloth market is ex-
pected in the near future.

Court will convene here next week,
and there are a number of important
cases to be tried. We do not want to
say q word that would bias any jury
man, but jurors should remember
that they are under oath to find a
verdict according to the law and evil
dence. Return righteous verdicts,
gentlemen, and thereby sustain the
good reputation which Bamberg coun-
ty juries now enjoy. Convict the
guilty and acquit the innocent, and
you will have the approval of your
consciences and the weIl-done OF
your fellow citizens.

BABY BORN OF DEAD MOTHER.
Physicians Save Infants Life After
Mother Has Committed Suicide.

Philadelphia, Pa, October 81
After Mrs. May Schneider had COM
mitted suicide to-day by drinking car
bolic acid, a healthy baby girl was
born in the hospital where the woman
had been taken.
Mrs. Schneider, who was eighteen
years old, swallowed the poison in the
room she occupied with her husband.
She was quickly removed to a hos
pital where she died shortly after
her admission. After a hasty prep
aration, the physicians performed a
Caesarian operation and succeeded in
saving the life of the baby.

One on the Doctor.

AS South Jersey country physi-
clan was driving through a village
he saw a man amusing a crowd with
the antics of his trick dog. The doc
tor pulled up and said: "My dear
man, how do you manage to train
your dog in that way? I can't teach
mine single trick" The man look
ed up, with simple rustic look and
replied: well, you see, it's this
way; you have to know more'n the
dog, or you can't learn him nothin. "

Killed Woman For Burglar.

Anderson, Oct. 29.-Mistaking
her for a burglar, Mr.. w. A. Hud-
gems, cashier of the Bank of Starr,
ten miles south of Anderson, last
night shot and killed Martha Young,
an aged colored woman employed as
cook in the family. The woman en-
tered the house to secure milk for a
sick person living in the town, and
ignorant of Mr.. Hudgens' presence
in the house, failed, apparently
through fright, to answer when he
asked who entered. A cOroner's
jury to-day exonerated Mr.. Hudgens
from all blame.

Too Much Luxury.

A man who had been three times
married and as often left widower,
was reported to be thinking a fourth
time of entering into the blessed and
comfortable estate Of holy matrimony.
A friend ventured to ask whether
there was any truth in the rumor
and received this sagacious reply:

white man, we're found to-day in the
ruins of the Hood home, at Harper,
and the body Of George Hood was re-
