One Hundred and Thirty Miles An
Hour.

Hour.
The electric locomotive has its
steam brother badly whipped as to
speed, and it only remains to build
tracks that will bear trains at over
one hundred miles an hour to learn
Just what can be expected of the
electric trains. At the celebrated
Berlin Zossen speed trials in 1903
there was established the amazing
130 miles an hour record, the fast
est that any man or man-made ma
chine ever travelled. 1t is almost two
hundred feet a second, or equal to
the speed man would attain in fall
ing from the top of twenty-story
building. It is a speed so great that
a detection of one of the rails of an
eighth of an inch is sufficient to
throw a train off the track. 1t is so
fast that the front of the locomo-
tive has to have great knife-shield
to cut the wind, which otherwise
would either check the speed or
crush in the front of the engine.
A train running at this frightful
speed of 130 miles would circumnavi-
gate the globe in week. 1t would
place the Pacific within twenty-four
hours of the Atlantic. Will such a
thing ever come to pass? Perhaps
A hundred years ago thirty miles an
hour was a marvellous speed; now it
is common. If a train can make lSO
now experimentally, why may not
this speed be common in the year
1000?

Address to Cotton Growers.
Cotton Growers B..

To the Cotton Growers:
A year ago l strongly urged you to
reduce the acreage in cotton and
grow more feed stuffs. 1t seems from
the acreage report last year that only
a part of the growers reduced their
acreage and in some sections small
increase was shown. The result has
been about as I predicted, the lowest
prices we have had for several years.
It now looks as if the crop will bring
around $55O,O00,000, or over $780,
100000 less than last years crop,
which was nearly 100000 bales
smaller and taking the cost of grow
ing the extra 100000 bales it
means a loss to the South OF over
$1OO,o00,000.
The time has arrived when you
must decide on the acreage for THIS
season. I strongly urge you to reduce
YOUR acreage in cotton at least 10 per
cent. and raise more grain and hay,
80 you will be more Independent at
marketing time. When the spinner IS
assured there is enough cotton grown
to supply his needs he is very inde-
pendent and will only buy at cheap
prices. With a possibility of short
age he is a very eager buyer.
While the consumption for the hrst
half of the cotton year ending March
/ will likely be little less than nall
the crop, the consumption the last
half will be very much larger, 80 that
we will likely have about the same
visible supply that we had last season,
so that we should raise next year at
least 100000 bales less than the
consumption in order to get good
prices for it.
Now, don't think that every one
else will reduce and you can plant
more and get a big price, fer that ls
what too many of you did last season.
It will take a uniform reduction IN
order to get the proper results. You
should only plant enough so that with
the most favorable conditions the
crop would not exceed 12,5OO,0Oo
and if weather conditions reduce the
Weld to II, 100000 you will get more
money for it than if you raised H.
100000.
hope that every merchant read
ing this article will call his farmer
customers attention to it and urge
the reduction. 1t. is the extra hun
dred million dollars the cotton crop
brings that makes trade good through
the South. I suggest that meetings
be held in every school house in the
South Saturday, March Z, so that uni
formity of action may be taken.

Williston Negro Whipped.

Williston, Feb. 23.-The negro
Mayes, who appeared at the home OF
DIR. Willis here on Saturday night
and who was afterwards arrested
and placed in the guard house, was
taken therefrom and carried to the
outskirts of town, where he was
given a whipping. Mayes was located
this afternoon at his fathers home
near Edisto river.
It seems that Mayes had been
drinking and came to the house
where his wife cooked, presumably to
pilfer. The family of six adults
however, had not yet retired. he
was seen beneath a window too high
to enter. The inmates feared no
danger from him, as he had been a
family tenant for years. The pistol
was fired in order to frighten him
away.
The affair was deemed unimport..
ant by the family, and the officers OF
the town anticipated no trouble.

Southern Life Settles.

The Southern Life Insurance Com
pany, of Fayetteville, N. c., has paid
to the receivers of the Seminole Sc
curities Company the sum of $1O9,-
$50 in cash. This is the final settle
ment between these two companies,
with the exception of matter which
is to be settled in court of refer
ence.
1t will be recalled that last Octo-
ber the Seminole Securities Com
pany, through John Y. Darlington
and others, paid to the Southern Life
Insurance Company, or some OF the
officials thereof, certain amount OF
money for what was supposed to be
controlling interest in the life lnsur-
ance company. However, the deal
turned out badly, for it was repre-
sented that one H. ]. Heber had re-
ceived some $4,000 for getting the
transaction put through. The subse-
uuent investigation is familiar to the
public.
The settlement arrived at Saturday
night between the attorneys and re-
ceivers is said to terminate the suit
brought against the Southern Life by
the Seminole company. The attorneys
of the respective sides are said to
have signed papers in keeping with
the terms of the agreement above set
forth.
There is yet one matter in abey-
ance, the s22,7OO paid to H. j. Heber
on the oath of December by Jno. Y.
Darlington, after the publicity had
been given to the scandal in the mat
ter and receivers had been applied
for. >,
The terms of settlement mean, In
effect, that all of the cash paid by the
Seminole company to the Southern
Life has been returned, and that the
court of equity is to decide who shall
lose that s22,70O. The State is in
formed that the transaction between
the two companies in final settlement
is approved by all the receivers and
by Mr.. John G. Shaw, attorney and
of the Southern Life.

Elopers Caught in Spartanburg.

Spartanburg, Feb. 27.-Mimms
Manley and Mrs. Minnie Smith, the
latter said to be the wife of minis
ter in Franklin, Ca, who eloped from
that place two weeks ago, were ar
rested at Clifton last night by Sher-
if Wausley, of Franklin, who traced
them to Spartanburg.
The warrant for the arrest of the
elopers was sworn out by the hus-
band of the woman. Mrs. Smith
seemed to be very much in love with
Manley, for she patted his cheek
most affectionately after they had
been taken in custody and gave hima
kiss. She did not relish the idea Of
being taken back to Georgia, for she
made use of several words that
would not look nice in print.

Serious Fire in Kershaw.

Kershaw, Feb. 27.-At noon to-
day a confagration occurred at the
cotton seed oil mill. The damage will
aggregate $4,000. The fire origi-
mated in the building that contains
the larger part of the machinery and
material, such as linters, etc. The
loss would have been greater had
the fire company not rendered such
valuable help. The company not long
ago increased it's capital and is one
among the best mills in the State.
The company proposes to repair the
damages and have the mill operating
in six weeks.

ARRESTS IN SEMINOLE CASE.
John ". Darlington Arrested in Chat
tanOoga.

John Y. Darlington, of Laurens,
has been arrested in Chattanooga as
a result of further proceedings in the
celebrated case of the Seminole Sc
curities Company. Two acquisitions
have been issued in the case by Gov.
Ansel-one against Darlington and
the other against Darlington, j. S.
Young and NJ. ]. Jeanes, all being
connected in some capacity with the
concern. Sheriff Coleman leaves to-
day for Nashville with the requisition
papers.
The case is familiar to the public.
The action for a receivership after
the purchase of the Southern Life
Insurance Company, the meeting of
stockholders, at which time new di-
rectors were elected; the charges
that the sale of stock was at an ex-
orbitant price and that Darlington
and his associates took part of the
margin on the sale of stock, have
been published and created much
comment at the time of the proceed
ings in the courts.
1t was announced when the l.tiga-
tion ended that criminal proceedings
would be commenced against Carl
ington and other directors, and the
warrants for the arrests were issued
yesterday. The charge against Carl
ington is obtaining money under
false pretenses and the charges
against Darlington, Jeanes and
Young are breeches Of trust with in
tention to defraud.
While Darlington is under arrest,
the others have not yet been served
with the papers, although it is prob
able that when the announcement
is made that criminal proceedings
are pending all will make arrange
ments to give bond.--The State.

Sc AS soon as the result was announc-
ed and the clincher put on the action
OF, the house in concurring in the
Senate amendment, Mr.. Sawyer
moved to recall the bill from the en-
crossing department, it having been
ordered for enrolment. He thought
it should be thrown in free confer
ence and did not see how the prohl-
bitionists could consent to have such
a bill rammed down their throats and
did not see how the local optionlsts
could consent to the passage of such
a measure. Anyhow, there were er-
rors in the wording and he was op-
posed to any such legislation.
Mr.. NJ. L. Smith, in a point of par
liamentary inquiry, which was sus-
tanned, held that the bill had been
ordered for enrolment and that now
nothing could change the bill. He did
not want to be misunderstood as
changing his position, but he thought
an action of this kind would be out OF
order. When Speaker Whaley an
nounced that the point was sustained
the fight was ended and the house
turned to the consideration of other
matters.
There is now some questions as to
the election. No funds are provided
for holding the election and unless
ordered by Gov. Ansel no election can
be held. Should it be held, the gen
eral assembly will have to make an
appropriation for the expenses and
even then it is not believed that a
half dozen counties will, change theil
positions.-Columbia State
