Mapel, his wife and daughter arrived
in the city Tuesday evening from their
home at Monmouth, Ill, to visit a

Cooper against the Bettendorf Axle
company in behalf Of John W. Drew.

stituted by Mr.. Drew. The remainder
of the large amount in the form of a
$25, 900 damage suit in Aberdeen, s.
ID has also been brought by Messrs.
Vollmer and Cooper in behalf of their
client. The grounds on which the first
suit for the sum of 5000 against the
local concern is brought is that while
in the employ of the company in May,
1908, the plaintiff sustained a crushed
ankle because of crane falling upon
him. the injurious effects of the acct

which has been brought in Dakota is
the result of an accident in which

Abe Lincoln's Creed.


Those who are giving much time,
thought and study to what are known
as new and old religions, will find
much of interest and worthy Of con-
sideration in what has come to be
known as Lincoln's Greed. Like
many of the great mans utterances,
it's simplified forceful language COM
mands attention. He said:
II have never united myself to
any church, because l have found
difficulty in giving my assent, with
out mental reservation, to the long
complicated statements which char
acterize their Articles Of Belief and
Confession of Faith. Whenever any
church will inscribe over its altar,
as it's sole qualification for member
ship, the Savior's condensed state
ments of the substance of both law
and gospel, Thou shalt love the Lord
thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and thy neighbor as thyself,
that church will l join with all
my heart and all my soul. Buffalo

Eternal Reward.

Springfield, Sept. 27.-Special:
With the first dawn OF day, this

June "a, 1881, and after attending
the common schools of this place, was
graduated from Clemson College

stand In electricity, he soon obtained
position with the Little Rock Rail-
way and Electric Company, of Lit
tie Rock, Ark, which position he
held until his health failed him

went to Texas, seeking that which he
never found. He came home last
week, and died today. He was A
member of Little Rock Lodge No.
20, Elks. On January 2, 1906, he
marrid Miss Lucy Butler, OF Little

years, and have always taken an &C.

He was
Formed on the good old plan
A true, brave, downright honest
man.
He blew no trumpet in the market
place,
Nor in the church with hypocritic
face,
Supplied with cant the lack Of
Christian grace,
Loathing pretense, he did with cheer
full will
What others talked Of. while their
hands were STILL"
For his was
That best portion Of good man 8
His little nameless, unremembered
acts,
OF kindness and Of love-"
He will be buried from the Meth
odist church tomorrow morning at
II o'clock.

Two Houses Burn.

On last Monday night about eleven
o'clock Orangeburg had the biggest
fire she has had in some time, when
two good sizes frame houses were
burned completely down. The hous.
es burned were on East Russell street
near the corporate limits. The fire
originated in a house owned by Adam
Thorn, colored, and soon communi-
Gated to the house next door occu-
pied by a colored man by the name
of Paul. Most of the furniture was
saved from both houses. 1t is not
known how the fire originated. but
we would not be surprised if it was
not caused by rats and matches.
If the fire had occurred in the water
limits one Of the houses would have
been saved.

INSECT DAMAGE TO CROPS.
Destroy Over Eighteen Million Dol
lars Each Year.

Few people of the State realize
the great damage that is done to
all crops of the State annually by
the insects. Within the past several
years the peach orchards have been
practically wiped out by the San
Jose scale and the ravage of the
wire worm down in Colleton is a
very striking example of insect dam
age to crops. Whole peach orchards
have been destroyed and abandoned
by the owners. However, within the
past year several orchards have been
planted and are doing remarkably
well by the use of the various kinds
of sprays, especially so in the Ridge
section of the State.
The birds are most effective in
fighting the insect plague. BY sta
tistics it is shown that the birds
in South Carolina destroy over 1OO,-
600 bushels Of insects every year and
save the State millions of dollars.
According to statistics it is shown
that the insects destroyed over S18,-
100000 worth Of crops of the State
during the past year. The Audubon
society is doing very effective work
in protecting the birds and the peo-
pie are beginning to learn their
value to mankind and join in the
work of protecting them.
Commissioner Watson has prepar-
ed some very interesting data con-
corning the amount destroyed last
year by the insects in the State.
Inseet damage to crops in South
Carolina:

wheat, barley, 100000; tobacco,

FIEND CAPTURED BY GIRL.
Turned Over to Some Men Who Let
the Rascal Escape.

After having been captured by the
brave daughter of farmer, eight
miles from Statesboro, Ca, during
the late hours of Monday night, after
he had broken her room and attack

The news of the attempted assault
and Hendricks peculiar escape reach
ed Statesboro Tuesday morning. II
is said the young woman the negro
attacked is large and unusually ath-
letic for woman, and the negro
had no chance to get away after he
attacked her before her cries for
help brought several men to the
room.
The men took him into the near
by woods, it is said, to wait for morn
ing before taking him TO Statesboro
They built big fire and were al
standing around it when Hendricks
disappeared. The negro's shoes, hat
and coat were found on the premises
of the farmers home, where he had
placed them before entering the

RULING ON COTTON WEIGHERs
Judge Gary Renders Opinion IN Case
From Bethune.

A decision rendered by Judge
Ernest Gary on the duties Of the cot
ton weighers at Bethune, in the case
of Sydney Barfeld, plaintiff, rules
on several important points that will
be of local interest. The motion
raises substantially three questions:
Whether or not the act of 1906,
entitled "An act to provide for the
election of a cotton weigher at Be-
thune, S. c., and to describe their
duties and fix their compensations,
shall make it mandatory for the
cotton weigher to weigh all cotton
brought to the market for sale, or
whether that provision in the act
is merely directory. Judge Gary
holds on this question that the Ian
guage Of the statute, 1t shall be the
duty of the said weigher to weigh
all cotton brought to the said town
for sale fairly and promptly, issu-
ing d ticket therefor. which shows
the weight of each bale" is plain
and explicit in its meaning that the
cotton #eigher shall weigh all cotton
brought to said cotton market. A
second question is raised, whether or
not the act in so far as it may seek
to exclude buyers and sellers from
agreeing Upon private arrangements
for weighing cotton, which Is mutual
ly agreeable to both, Is repugnant
to the constitution of this State, and
All infringement upon the liberties OF
the citizen. and therefore Is null and
void The judge holds in tbs ques-
ton that the act is proper exercise
of the police power Of the State.
