BOWMAN NEWS.
Local Items Gathered by Our Hust-
ling Correspondent.

Bowman, July Especial: Col.
R. L. Shuler, one Of Bowman S
pioneer merchants, died at Branch
Vile on Friday last about noon and
was buried at Shiloh church some
few miles above here on yesterday
in the presence of large concourse
of relatives and friends. Col. Shu-
Ter, on account of Ill health, sold out
his property here and moved to
Branchville some few months ago,
at which place he and Mrs. Snuler
were living up to the time OF MS
death. He did q thriving business
in crossties here for q NUMBER OF
years. On account of bad health ne
was forced to retire from the mer-
chantile and timber business entire
ly. He was veteran Of the Confed-
crate war, serving faithfully to the
end. and was member Of Capt.
Lagares company of heavy artillery,
stationed on James Island. Col.
Shuler was born and rised on his
fathers old homestead in Providence
township near the 60mile post on
the State road leading from Colum-
bia to Charleston.
He leaves a wife, Mrs. Nancy Shu-
Ter, to whom he had been married
about 40 years. Of the large family
of brothers and sisters, only one OF
the latter, Mrs. Mary Martin, sur
vive him. He was e5 years old.
1t seems that Bowman is deter
mined to hold its record as the
championship town of South Caroli-
ma as to marriages, considering its
size and population, and then, so
many of them surprises. MIR. Frank
OFT left here yesterday afternoon for
Orangeburg, only two or three OF his
intimate friends knowing his inten-
tion when he left town. but Cupid
always leads the way triumphantly
and there was no exception in this
case, for by appointment he met
Miss Birdie earn, who came down
from Columbia and the two happy
hearts were soon melted into one.
Rev. Mr.. McGee. of the Methodist
church performed the ceremony, after
which the couple left for Bowman,
arriving here late yesterday evening.
Miss earn is a dughater of Mr.. and
Mrs. o. L. earn of Bowman and had
a position in Columbia, and Mr.
Frank OFT is the youngest son of Mr.
and Mrs. H. D. OFT of Bowman.
Mr.. James Arant, of the Provi-
dence section, was in Bowman for
short while Saturday. This was Mr.
Arants first visit to this town in
IS years. Says it exceeds his eX-
pectations.

COTTON GOODS ADVANCING.
Markets for Cloth and Yarns Show
Upward Tendency.

The cotton goods and cotton yarn
markets were considerably unsettled
during the past week by the necessity
for readjusting prices near to the
high levels of cost caused by the rise
in cotton. Buyers have begun to
pay the advances named thus far,
which have been about half the
amount that will be resuired if a IL
cent basis on cotton is to rule for
the early fall months.
Tickings, demins and other color
ed cottons were advanced sharply.
Drills and sheetings were advanced
is cent to IA cent a yard, and will
go higher, in the opinion of the
trade in New York. Bleached cot
tons have been advanced IA cent on
the medium counts and l-2 cent
yard on the fine counts. Wide sheet
ings were advanced / cent yard to
a basis of 25 cents for 10-4 goods.
All these advances named are but
indications Of the general rise which
has taken place. Distributors are
now notifying their trade of the ad-
rances made in the primary markets.
Good crop reports have done much
to simulate interest in general buy
ing, while cotton has been rising.
Cotton yarns have been advanced
sharply since the cotton rise and
there has been a broader inquiry.
Trading has been limited somewhat
by the unwillinguess of mills to tie
up machinery at this time for the
late months until they can learn more
about future cotton prices.

MAYORS COURT.
Were Kept Quite Busy on Monday
Morning.

There were no cases tried at the
Mayors Court on Saturday morning
but on Monday there was the usual
crop. The first gent was Bill Hamp-
ton, who was charged with being
helplessly drunk. Bill was SO drunk
that he had to be taken off the train
at the Atlantic Coast Line depot.
However, Bill gave the mayor and
the court nice distinction between
being asleep and drunk-he was
asleep. If he was asleep he found
out that the public hotel rates for
the night was SIS or twelve days.
John Govan, who plead guilty to
the charge of being helplessly drunk,
received a hand out of 81 or five
days.
Sarah Marshall, who, by the way,
seems to be something Of bear in
her neighborhood, is always having
trouble with her neighbors. They
had her up, charging her with dis
orderly conduct. The whole thing
seemed to be some row over a note
which could never be located by the
mayor. This case was dismissed.
Philip Sims was charged with be-
ing drunk and violating the hack
ordinance. He plead not guilty, but
after hearing the testimony the may
or thought otherwise, and Phillip
was required to deposit 81.
Henry Dickson, charged with dis
orderly conduct and keeping the
neighbors awake, plead not guilty
and after good warning the case
was dismissed.
w. N. Hunt was up again, charg-
ed with being helplessly drunk; he
plead not guilty, but was requested
to leave the city and until hr does
so, will be kept in durance vile.

MEET THIS WEEK
SUPERINTENDENTS TO HOLD A
CONFERENCE.
Number of Important Subjects to be
Considered-A Campaign in Au-
gust.

The county superintendent OF ed
ucation of South Carolina will meet
in Spartanburg on Wednesday for a
conference with State Superintendent
of Education Swearingeu. The con-
ference will be held at Wofford COL
lege. Several days ago Mr.. Swear
ingen addressed letter to all of the
superintendent calling for the meet
ing and since that time he has re-
ceived letter from almost every one
accepting the invitation. No official
program has been prepared but sew
eral subjects of vital Importance will
discussed.
The following are the subjects to
be taken up for discussion:
Supplies, blanks, reports, etc.
State aided high schools for the
year.
Lengthening the term of our weak
rural schools. A balance of $13, 600
is still available for this purpose and
hundreds of districts need to take
advantage of this fund.
Prizes to be awarded by the Rural
School Improvement association.
The new library list adopted by the
State board of education May l.
Plans for the educational cam
paign in August.
Benefits of summer school work.
All of the subjects are live as will
be- noted and their intelligent dis
cussion will no doubt be productive
of much good to the schools Of the
State.
Great interest is being shown in
all sections of the State over the edu-
cational campaign which will be held
during the month of August. The
county superintendent will have
charge of the meetings to be held In
the diierent counties and the discus
sion of this subject at the confer
ence in Spartanburg will no doubt
be of great benefit.
About SO of the most prominent
men In South Carolina have consent
ed to be present at the meetings and
make addresses. The superinten-
dents are to furnish three local speak
ers at the meetings.
Full plans for the campaign will
be announced in a few days by Mr..
Swearingen.

in dispatch and in frequency. Con-
stant annoyance and delay results.
and merchants who have no direct
American ties will, other things be-
ing equal, place orders in Europe
rather than in the United States"
There are differences of opinion as
to the methods which should be
adopted for the improvement of our
steamship communication with the
Latin-American countries. ] think
We can all agree, however. that if
we are to realize the full benefits
of our geographical relation to those
markets and Of the demand which ex-
lists in them for goods which We pro-
duce, something practical must he
done to secure the establishment Of
regular stea mship lines. Whatever
policies may be adopted to this end,
it is so manircstly to the interest
of our section that all Southern pro-
ducts shipped to those countries
should go through Southern ports.
that. not only those engaged in bus
mess at those ports. but the Southern
people generally. should work to-
gether in some practical way to Sc
cure direct lines fro mthe South
Atlantic and Gulf ports. Those ports
have the great advantage Of shorter
distances. especially TO all points in
Mexico. Central America. the West
Indies. the northern coast Of South
America, and points on the West
coast reached by way of the Tehuan-
tepec and Panama Railways. This
advantage with respect to the West
coast ports will be greatly increased
on the completion Of the Panama Ca
nal. and it is important that the
people of our section should be pre-
pared to make the most effective use
Of that waterway.
This is q matter which concerns
all the people Of the South so vi
tally that l believe all those interest
ed in Southern development should
work together in an effort to bring
about an improvement in our steam
ship service to all the Latin-Ameri-
can countries.
