Mixer Struck.

Beverly, Mass, July 9.-There
was strike in the Taft household
yesterday. 1t ended in lockout
and the importation of strike
breaker from Washington. Mrs. Jaf-
fray, the housekeeper, settled it with
quick show of determination.
The good old COW, Rosebud,
brought from Derry, N. H., to sup
ply the presidents family with fresh
milk, was to blame for the trouble.
Rosebud has a habit of supplying
enough milk for a whole dairy. Con-
sequently her mixer has whole
sale job on his hands.
Thomas j. Wallace, Beverly lad,
Is years old, who always was voted
the best mixer around these parts,
had the job. He was filled with
pride Until he discovered the kind of
contract he had taken. Then he
struck tor higher pay.
Mrs. Jaffray discharged Wallace
forthwith. Then she telegraphed to
Washington for William Scott, off,
cial mixer of the Taft household
there, to come to Beverly. He arriv-
ed last night.

FOUGHT PISTOL DUEL.
Prominent Man Dead at Oliver, Ga,
and Another Dying.

Oliver, Ca, July 10.-With a
trivial quarrel as the cause, John W.
Hodges and Rufus Lucas, both we'll
to-do and with families, fought a
pistol duel here to-day in Hodges's s
store and tonight Hodges lies dead
and Lucas with bullet in his breast
is probably dying. Both men emptied
fve-chamber revolvers, but Hodges S
aim was bad because he was the first
to be wounded.
1t is said by an eyewitness that
Lucas complained to Hodges because
the latter, as he charged, had repeat
ed statement made by someone else
that Lucas had been drunk on the
public road" Hodges, it is said, Or
dered Lucas from the store and was
invited to follow Lucas out.
Suddenly Hodges called out: "Put
up that" and Lucass pistol flashed.
Hodges staggered but grasped his
own pistol from the desk in his office
and returned the fire. The men
walked up the length of the store on
opposite sides of the counter, firing
until their pistols were empty. Lucas
is at his home, four miles from here.

Eleven Hurt in Wreck.

Asheville, N. c., July 10.-Passen-
ger train No. Z on the Toxaway
branch Of the Southern railway, due
in this city at $50 p. M, was derail-
ed by spreading rails near Etowah,
ten miles from Brevard, at 4:45 this
afternoon. Eleven passengers were
injured, some of them painfully
though no serious results are antici-
pated. The injured were hurried to
Brevard on special, where medical
aid was given them.
The train left Lake Toxaway at
1920 this afternoon and was running
on schedule time when it reached the
curve near the town of Etowah, 80
miles from Toxaway. The engineer
who was unhurt, claims that he had
slackened his speed for the curve,
when the rails spread, derailing the
engine and. three coaches. The first
class coach and the parlor car were
turned over.

Breaks Into Lady's House.

Fort Mill, July 1.-THE little
town of Pineville, in North Carolina,
Just across the line from this place,
is considerably stirred up to-day over
a crime which occurred in that
place last night when a burglar
broke into the home of well known
lady. The first that was known OF
the presence In the house Of the
burglar was when the lady awoke
and saw him in her bedroom. She
screamed, and the burglar ran from
the room, but not before the lady
was able to see that he was white
man. Every effort is being made to
find the man. In North Carolina
housebreaking in the nighttime Is a
capital offense. It is not known
what was secured by the burglar.

More Places for Somebody.

The following is from the Colum-
bia Record:
The next legislature will be asked
to create a board of three men of
ability, experience and character
with appropriate salaries to devote
their entire time to inspecting, in
vestigating and general supervising
the penal and charitable institutions
of the State, including the county
jails and almshouses, as we'll as the
State hospital for the insane, the
penitentiary, the reformatory at
Florence and the institute for the
deaf, dumb and blind near Spartan
burg.
The measure will have such able
support as that of Chairman Chris
tensen, of the asylum investigating
committee, and other members of
that commission, and perhaps not a
few newspapers and State officials.

DEAD NEGRO FOUND.
Searching Party Found Body in a
Ditch in Horrible Condition.

L. S. McAlhaney, colored, was
miles from this city in the Fork Sec
miles from this city in the Fork Sec
tion of the county on wednesday
a ternoon. after having been missing
from his home since the afternoon OF
Saturday previous. The body was
in horribly decomposed condition,
and it was with considerable diff
Guilty that a post mortem eXamina-
ton, necessary for the coroner's in
quest, was performed. The negro
was found in a ditch in one of his
fields, which was about two feet
deep, and a bush was found over his
face. Just what the cause of his
death was due to is not known, as he
was a healthy negro.
McAlhaney worked share crop
on the plantation of Mr.. James
Green, and on last Saturday morn
ing came to Orangeburg. He return
ed to his farm on wagon driven by
Joseph Tyler, one of Mr.. Green's
drivers. He reached his home about
noon, and leaving his coat on his
front porch, went into his field.
Nothing more was seen or heard OF
the man until Wednesday afternoon,
searching party in quest of him,
found his body in state Of decom-
position in a ditch in one of his
fields.
It being the Fourth of July, it was
thought that McAlhaney had gone
off to some festive gathering, and
that he would return to his home on
Monday at latest. On that day, how
ever, as he did not appear, his fam
lily grew disturbed, and began to
search. The search was not fully
organized until Tuesday, however,
when neighbors joined in looking for
the lost man. On Wednesday after
noon a party consisting of Mamie
Funchess, Perry Forrest, Geo.
Hampton and Richard Forrest, all
colored, came upon the body. He
was found lying on his left side with
bush over his face in a two foot
ditch. His hat was found nearby.
The body was in such a state of de-
cay that the men were unable to
stay around. The coroner was in
formed of the finding Of the body
and an inquest held. No bruises
were found on the mans body, and
the physician was at loss to say
what the cause of death was due
to.
Wherther the man was murdered
or died a natural death is not known.
He was last seen walking through
his field, and tracks were followed
through the field as far as a patch of
wooded land. There were two tracks
to this point, but after this no trail
could be detected.
McAlhaney was good negro
about thirty years of age, and held
the respect of both white and color
ed, he being a very hard working
and law-abiding citizen. He had
never been sick, and his sudden
death is somewhat of a mystery

Il WANT MY PAPA"
Little Child Pleads Before Pardon
Board.

Columbia. July S.-"I want my
papa, Il want my papa" Papa, pa
pa" prattled a chubby little boy of
about two years this morning as ne
played about the chair in which his
mother was seated as she made a
simple but pathetic plea before the
board of pardons for the liberty OF
her husband, Daisy Cook, who was
convicted ip Hampton county several
years ago on the charge of being an
accessory to the murder of a con-
stable and given six years on the
chaingang of that county.
At the same time, Bose Cook, his
brother, was given ten years in the
State penitentiary and W. j. Cook,
also his brother, was sentenced to six
years on the Hampton county chain
gang, but was pardoned about one
year ago by the board.
Mrs. Cook, who is very young
woman, appeared before the board
this morning together with her two
children, one about two years of age
and the other a small baby. She
stated that she had no home and nc
one to take care of her and asked
that her husband be given his liberty
She submitted a petition signed by
large number of people.
Supervisor c. J. Gray, of Hampton
county, spoke in her behalf, saying
that Daisy Cook had been on the
Hampton county chaingang for about
two years, and had made most ex.
cellent prisoner, at the present time
being a trusty. He also stated that
he knew the woman to be in desti'
tute circumstances with no one tt
take care of her and her children.
The board refused the pardon.

Our Latin=AmeriCan / Trade.
President Finley Writes in Regard to Developing Our
Southern PORTS

should go through Southern ports,
that, not only those engaged in busi-
ness at those ports, but the Southern
people generally, should work to-
gether in some practical way to Sc
cure direct lines from the South At
lantic 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-
tepac and Panama Railways. This
advantage with respect to the West
coast ports will be greatly increas-
ed on the completion of the Panama
Canal, 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 matter which concerns
all the people of the South 80 vitality
that l believe all those interested in
Southern development should work
together in an effort to bring about
an Improvement in our steamship
countries.
Yours very truly,
W: w. FINLEY,
President.
P. s. I enclose herewith copy
of chart which have had prepar.
ed showing the steamship lines from
the United States to the Southern
part Of South America and the West
coast as compared with those from
Europe. 1t may be impracticable to
reproduce this in your paper, but
think you will be personally interest
ed in studying it. W. w. F.

The Prosperity of Bamberg.

Editor The Bamberg Herald: In
a recent issue of your paper you
have been extolling the prosperity of
Bamberg, giving her boost" This
is commendable if true, but Is 1t
true: If there is prosperity it must
all Je in the town, for it surely Is
not in the country. I fear Bamberg's
prosperity is like some fruit l have
seen this season. Presents fair ex-
terror, but cut into it and it is rotten
to the core. Now, 1 am aware these
are unpleasant facts, but that does
not alter them. AS rule the people
of Bamberg county are hopelessly
involved in debt. The sooner we real
ize this, the better for all concerned.
1t is useless to cry peace" when
there is no peace.
Under the dispensary regime we
are getting poorer each year. Actual
want is pinching the poorer classes
to-day. It is only question Of time
, when gaunt famine will be stalking
through the land, unless we mend
our ways.
When an architect plans a great
building what is his first step? Is
it to put on the finishing touches? |?
No, indeed. He first lays a good,
solid foundation, then builds on that.
We have not laid the foundation for
real prosperity in Bamberg. We be-
gan wrong. Let us acknowledge our
mistake, which is only saying 1--WE
are wiser to-day than we were yes
terday."
We have a number of banks it is
true. But could they not be in a
more prosperous condition? Their
chief business is to loan money;
much of this is not wisely expended
and oftentimes the people cannot pay
it back, or have to make sacrifices to
do so. Is not this losing game? If
the people of Bamberg were to live
up to their privileges they could lend
money instead of borrowing it at a
high interest.
We Americans have put up a god
the god of "self," which we are
worshipping instead of the true God.
Daily we burn incense at its shrine.
Just as surely as the Israelites of old
bowed to idols are we bowling to
idols of silver and gold. Just as
surely as they were punished are we
being punished. Can we wonder at
it? History repeats itself. Remem-
Der, God is jealous God. His first
command was, 'Thou shalt have no
other gods before me-"
We have been making poor crops
for several years, receiving only
moderate prices for them; every
thing we consume is unreasonably
high. It takes no great skill to see
that we can't prosper under such
conditions. AS long as we work in
opposition to Gods plans, we will be
harassed in this way. Let us get into
unison with his plans, and all will be
we'll. When we do wrong, "God is
consuming fire." He is manifest
ing his displeasure in various ways.
"See that ye refuse not him that
speaketh. For if they escaped not
who refused him that spake on
earth, much more shall not we es-
cape, if we turn away from him that
speaketh from heaven"
IT we only can be brought to a
realization of our condition, then
half the battle is already won. Read
Malachi, 3rd chapter and follow in
structions.
81 beg you, take courage: the
brave soul can mend even disaster. I"

Man Takes Woman's Clothes While

canal near Patterson, N. J.

stole her garments, but by the aid OF
barrel, furnished by woman, who
heard her screams, she was able. to

above referred to, Mr.. Hutchinson
tells of instances in which it took
twice as long to get mail orders from
the United States as from Europe,
and says: ''In a very large part of
our Brazil trade the mails are an i'm
portant factor, and there can be no
doubt that many orders which might
otherwise go to our manufacturers,
60 to Europe instead In similar
report on trade conditions in Argen-
tina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, Mr..
Hutchinson says: There are some
direct mails to the River Plata, but
they are carried on slow freighters
and the service in general is greatly
inferior to that from Europe, both
in dispatch and in frequency. Con-
slant 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. I think
we can all agree, however, that if we
are to realize the full benefits of our
geographical relation to those mar
kets and Of the demand which ex-
lists in them for goods which We pro-
duce, something practical must be
done to secure the establishment of
regular steamship lines. Whatever
policies may be adopted to this end,
it is so manifestly to the interest of
our section that all Southern prod
ucts shipped to those countries

SENTENCES COMMITTED.
Governor Extends Clemency to Two
Penitentiary Prisoners.

Columbia, July 7.-Governor An
sci granted two combinations to-
day, one in the case of Tom Leach,
of York county, whose sentence OF
three years for statutory burglary
was reduced to two years at the re-
quest Of the solicitor, and the other
in the case of J. M. Connerly, gin
ner, of Horny county, who was con-
victed of falsely packing cotton and
given fine of 5000 and one month g
Imprisonment. His sentence was
commuted to a fine of $40. It was
made clear to Governor Ansel that
the false packing, though done at
Connerly's gin, was done without his
knowledge or consent.
