a rule to show cause against the State
dispensary commission and it's at
torneys, Fraser Lyon, B. L. Abney,
w. f. Stevenson and Anderson, Field
er, Roundtree & Wilson, doing so at
the suit Of the S. Grabfelder Com
pany, distillers, Of Louisville. The
commission is restrained until Oc-
tober %, when the rule Is returnable
from proceeding further with it's suit
in Kershaw against Grabfelder to re-
cover $57,569 in alleged overcharges
on business done by Grabfelder with
the old State dispensary.
The commisson is directed to show
cause why it should not be perpetu-
ally enjoined from further action
against the liquor house. The plain
tiffs allege that the commission has
already investigated and adjudicated
it's claim of $4,000 against the old
State dispensary, but after this set
tlement had been made the commls-
sion, nevertheless, held up arbitrar-
lily accounts plaintiff had made with
various county dispensaries to the
amount of s1e,6s2, and thereafter
brought the big suit in Kershaw for

lease the county dispensary credits
impounded by the commission and
to stop the commission from nosing
around further among the records of
the State dispensary.

FLORENCE NAN KILLED.
Shooting Said to be Result of Quar-
rel Over Woman-Aiarsh in Jail.

Florence, Oct. 12.-News was re-
ceived in the city early this morning
of another killing in the lower part of
this county in the Hannah section, in
which it is reported that Henry
Marsh shot Robert Baxley to death.
Both men are white.
The story brought here is to the
effect that bad feeling had been exist
ing between the two men on account
of a woman. Marsh had forbid BaX-
ley to enter upon his lands. The two
men met in the road last night about
dark and difficulty ensued, during
which Baxley was shot in the neck by
q shotgun. Marsh was arrested and
brought to Florence to-day by Con-
stable @. C. Prosser and locked in
Jail, he having been committed by
Magistrate B. Prosser, who held the
inquest. Both Marsh and Baxley are
married men and have families.

Has Miraculous Escape.

Spartanburg, Oct. 12.-Dr. Jesse
F. Cleveland, president of the Tuca-
pau mills and one the wealthiest
men in upper South Carolina, had a
miraculous escape from death here
to-day when the buggy in which he
was driving was struck by passen-
ger train on the Southern railway
at Forest street crossing in this city.
The horse was killed and the We
hicle smashed to pieces. DR.. Cleve-
land was thrown from the buggy and
sustained slight injuries. At first it
was thought that wound in his
head was of serious nature, but this
has not proved to be true. Tonight
he is sitting up and receiving his
friends.
At the point where the accident
occurred there is sharp curve
which is situated on a grade cross
ing. Houses are built close up to
the track, and it is not possible to
see an on-coming train more than
100 feet away. An engineer cannot
see the crossing until he is right on
it. DR.. Cleveland was driving south
on Forest street and did not see or
hear the train nor did the engineer
see DIR. Cleveland until it was utterly
impossible to stop the train in time to
prevent the accident

Still Honest.

A noted Philadelphia attorney
tells one on himself. He left his ma
tive town in Tennessee years ago,
and came to this city to practice law.
He has been uniformly successful.
His brother, upon the other hand, re-
mained behind at the family home
stead.
Returning to his native town some
time ago, the attorney met an old
darkey in the road.
Hello, uncle" he said, but the old
man did not recognize the boy he
used to know in. the prosperous look
ing citizen who addressed him.
"Well," asked the lawyer, chow
are the Blank family?"
"Oh, they're all right" said the
old darky, "Jim Blank has gone 20
Philadelphia, and done made a lot OF
money. He's a lawyer, sah."
els that so?" answered the attor-
ney. "And his brother Tom, how is
he, has he made fortune, too?'
"Lawdy, no." answered the old
darky, shaking his head, che amt no
lawyer. Marse Tom wouldn't take a
dishonest penny from nobody. -

Teacher Not Guilty.
governor.

Spartanburg, Oct. 12.-Professor
James B. Hodges, of Florence, S. c.,
but at present principal of the South
side school in this city, was tried by
jury in Magistrate Wetmore's court
here to-day on the charge of assault
ami battery, the charge growing out
of whipping he gave Melvin Nc
Laughlin, the 12-year-old son of j.
P. Mclaughlin. He was found not
guilty.
The case has attracted much atten-
ton here and the trial was attended
by a large crowd. 1t was an interest
ing session and at one time Judge
Wetmore had to threaten to fine the
father of the boy for contempt OF
court.

Young Counterfeiter.

An unusual instance of the youth
full counterfeiter has just been locat-
ed by United States Secret Service
Agent H. E. Thomas of this city, on
a recent trip into South Carolina.
Mr.. Thomas's orders called him to
a point not many miles from the So
called Ozark Corner" of upper South
Carolina, probably. 20 miles west of
Spartanburg. Here, it appeared, that
somebody had been using imitation
small coin made from f1attened car
seals carefully trimmed around the
edges.
Mr.. Thomas finally discovered the
source of the spurious circulating
medium in the person Of a 14-year-
old boy Of the neighborhood. The
boy had no molds or other imple-
ments for making counterfeit coin,
but it appears that he had accom-
plished his work by placing the face
of a coin on one side of car-seal,
and the back on the other side OF
the seal, and then striking the COM
bination quick blow which left the
imprint of the front and back of the
coin on opposite sides of the seal.
The rim of the seal was then care
fully trimmed to the right size, and
the coin was finished. The boy, it
is said, had used some of these lead
coins to work slot machines, etc., but
there seemed to be no evidence that
he had attempted to pass any of
these.
The method used to make the i'm
itation, or counterfeit coin, is exceed
ingly unique, and is rather new in
secret service circles.
The lad was given a severe repri-
mand and turned loose, though the
case will likely be placed in the
hands of che district attorney of
South Carolina, who will decide
whether further action is necessary.

Dies From Injury

Conway, Oct. 13.-Joe Golf, a
white employe of the Reaves Shingle
mill at Reaves Ferry, few miles
from Conway, died yesterday as the
result of an accident at this compa-
ny's mill a few days ago. Young Mr..
Golf was a head block setter and a
large piece Of timber thrown from
the carriage of the saw, struck him
full in the head fracturing the skull.
Drs. H. H. Burroughs and F. A. Bell,
of Conway, were summoned at once
and an operation ives performed, but
the wound proved too serious to per-
nit a recovery.

Law FIRM DISSOLVED.
Personal Difficulty Causes Dissolution
of Ties.

Charleston, Oct. .12.-The we'll
known law firm of Legare, Holman
& Baker is in process of dissolution,
incident to the recent death of Dun
can j. Baker and differences which
exist between Congressman George S.
Legare and Mr.. Holman. The decis-
ion to dissolve the partnership rela-
tions were hastened by personal en-
counter which occurred in the law
Offices of the firm several weeks ago
and which had served to estrange the
former friends and business assocl-
ates.
The troubles between Messrs. Le-
care and Holman are said to have
been growing for some time. Mr..
Legare was away from his practice
for more than a year, during which
time it was practically in charge OF
Mr.. Holman. 1t is said that Mr.. Le-
care was not satisfied with the ac-
counting upon his return to Charles
ton during the summer and the diff
erences between the men grew more
marked.
Mr.. Baker died. Mr.. Holman, it
is said, expressed himself at the Com
mercial club in condemnatory terms
of Mr.. Legare and the statements
were carried to Mr.. Legare.
Accompanied by his counsel and a
friend, Mr.. Legare called on Mr.. Hol-
man and demanded retraction of
the charges and the language used
at the club house. Mr.. Holman is
said to have called Mr.. Legare a liar
when the latter knocked him down,
severely bruising his eye. The law
yers were separated and since this
elimination of the differences, the
attorney of the respective former
partners have been arranging for the
dissolution of the firm. They will
continue the practice of law IN
Charleston, each on his own account.

Account From Scranton.

Scranton, Oct. 12.-There was a
shooting affray yesterday on the plan
tation of Mr.. John H. Bartells, in
Florence county, six miles from town,
as result Robert Baxley, a white
man about Al years old, is dead, and
his young son is wounded, being shot
with shotgun in the hands of Henry
Marsh, another white man.
Judge Prosser, of Hanna, Florence
county, was in town this morning
with Marsh to take the morning train
for the Florence Jail.
From what can be gathered Bax-
ley and Marsh moved from Lake City
several months ago on the plantation
of Mr.. J. H. Bartell to work with Mr..
Leo Ward; that, it is said, Marsh be-
came too intimate with a relative of
Baxley's; that Baxley warned Marsh.
1t is said that yesterday evening late
Marsh attempted to go through Bax-
ley's yard, while he was at home, and
Baxley refused to allow him to pass
through. This caused hot words to
pass between them. Finally Baxley
got his shotgun and emptied the en-
tire load into Marsh's neck, death re-
sulting in few minutes.
Judge Prosser, of Florence, held
the inquest last night, the jury rem
dering the verdict that the deceased
came to his death by gunshot wound
in the hands of Marsh.

THE sALEsWON1AN's BUDGET.
What She Had for a Years Work.
A Typical Experience.


Two years ago the National Con-
sumers' league began inquiring how
the 100000 women bread-winners
of this country work and live, says
the Chattanooga News. Some of the
budgets collected by the league have
appeared in McClure's magazine. A
typical experience is that of girl
who entered a New York department
store on wage of $3.50 week and
had got raise of 81 a week after five
years. She lost her position after
dispute with a floor walker, and
month later got another at 81 week,
less than she had begun with. This
girl said that the law requiring seats
for employees was useless because
whenever she sat down during inter-
walls when Ihere were no customers,
the floor walker would give her
task that brought her to her feet
again. The week before Christmas
she had to work more than IA hours
a day. For this she got Christmas
"gift" of $40, but no extra pay. In
summer she was allowed weeks
vacation and $40 besides her pay.
Aftec her work at the store she had
her own laundering and mending to
do.
This is how she recalled the use
of her annual income of $2S1:
One coat, $40; four hats, s17; two
pairs Of shoes, IS; "a shirtwaists at
SO cents, s23.59; four skirts, s4.sS;
underwear, 81; board at $3.50 a
week at philanthropic home, s120;
medical attendance, 81. This ac-
counts for $194.50. The remainder,
$3.50, went mainly for such articles
of attire as stockings, handkerchiefs
and odds.and ends that she could not
recall.
1t is admitted that this girl was un-
wise in her expenditures, especially in
the matter of shirtwaists. The eX-
ample of older and more experienced
employees is contrasted with this
budget. 1t is set forth that If she
had bought shirtwaists at little
higher price they would have lasted
much longer, and she might have re-
duced this item by two-thirds.
If the consumers league have
drawn any conclusions from their in
quiries they are saving them for an
other occasion. The foregoing story
is only one of many. It seems more
typical than the experience Of some
other saleswomen because of the in
experience of the subject. II she
had acquired at home or at school a
small part of the skill with the needle
that all women used to consider in
dispensible, she would have been
able to make shirtwaists for herself.
The entry of women into almost
every field of gainful employment is
a big fact of our national life. The
individual studies of the consumers
league are interesting contributions
to contemporary history.

TO SAIL FROM CHARLESTON.
Taft Plans Panama Trip from South
Carolina Port.

Beverly, Mass, Oct. 13.-President
Taft will sail for the Isthumus Of
Panama on November 10 from Char
lesion. He will make the trip on the
armored cruiser North Carolina and
will be conveyed by the sister ship,
the Montana. These are the same
vessels used by Mr.. Taft in his Pana-
ma trip just before his inauguration.
The president will be gone about
12 days. The North Carolina and
Montana can make the journey in
each direction in four days. This
will give Mr.. Taft about four days
on the isthmus.
The president had practically given
up all idea of visiting the canal this
year until Col. George w. Goethals,
chief engineer of the canal, spent
two hours with him this afternoon.
At the end of that time Mr.. Taft had
been convinced that the problems
confronting the officials in Panama
require his presence on the isthmus.
Hopes to Do Good.
Although his visit will be flying
one, the president expects to be able
to secure first hand information re-
garding a number of problems which
he will call to the attention of con-
gress at it's next session. Some of
the problems to be dealt with are:
The extent and character of the for
tifications; the fixing of tolls for
transportation of vessels through the
canal; proposed increase in wages;
the future management of the Pana-
ma railroad; the. form of permanent
government for the canal zone, and
the regulation of the sale of coal at
the terminus. The government may
go into the bushes of selling coal it.
self in order to prevent the possibility
Of extortion or monopoly.
Mr.. Taft had thought that several
of these questions would not require
settlement for a year or more but
Col. Goethals puts matters in diff
ferent light.
Toll Question Important.
The question of tolls, which it was
thought could wait until the canal
is nearer completion, was explained
by Col. Goethals to be one Of the
most pressing for congress- to meet.
An international congress Of ship
owners and shipping interests is to be
held in Berlin in the summer of 1911.
It is believed to be highly important
that congress should have fixed the
rates of toll by that time. The au-
thorfties believe that the influence
that the canal will have upon ship
ping should be felt and be discussed
at this conference. The canal must
be made to attract shipping and, at
the same time, an effort will be made
to have the toll charges meet the
interest on the s4O0,o00,OOo invest
ment which the canal will repre-
sent.
The date for opening the Panama
canal has been set for January IL,
1915. President Taft and Col. Goe-
thals believe that it will be completed
and open long before that time.
Mr.. Taft will go to Cincinnati to
vote on November and will proceed
from Cincinnati to Charleston. He
may stop over in Washington a few
hours on the way.

"I don't want to really iniure you, Can dy Kid" said Han o San warding off the Candy Kids blows. You are not my match, and I never fight with an in- fcrior in strength or intelligence.

 "Oh, you are afraid I'll disarm you, cried John, the Candy Kid. You don't want the ladies to see that you are coward Well, Pll show the ladies that you are" And with a mighty lunge John, the Candy Kid, struck at Han o San. But the agile Japanese was too quicl, for him, and jumped aside just as the blow was about to fall on his head.

A great white horse. very fond of sugar and candy lnpped ont his tongue aud tasted the sweetmeat. It was good. so he drew it into his mouth and ate 1t up. The head of the Candy Kid was thus disposed of, but there was his body, broken into many parts. Indeed. his pretty, sweet, red-striped candy legs and arms looked for all the world like big sticks of candy-which they really were now. And the trunk looked like Il candy-cake, cracked in several places.

 Come, stop that racket!' commanded the Candy Kid, addressing Han 0 san. Don't you know your betters? I want to speak, and if ydu keep up that internal racket it drowns my voice"
 "Oh, and who are you?' dared to ques- ton Han o San, who, it must be told, was really very, very bold and brave.

The fact is, he had no physi- cal strength to speak of. Like all candy toys, he was more sweet than sensible or strong. And in this instance his sweetness was only literal. His dispo sition was anything but sweet. He glared at Han O San; then turning to Josephine and Molly Anne he asked: Ladies, which of us two do you prefer ---the soldier or me-tbe King of Can dy?"
