and what has all that to do with the
shooting at Mt. Olive yesterday"
Chief Bishop asked.
Pete scratched his head for some
time and finally relieved his mind.
"Well, it's this way, boss" he said.
Then niggers what done that killing
will not be tried for two or three
months, and maybe not in that time.
I b'lieves when niger kills a Mig
ger if you folks would try him right
away and give him what he deserves
that all this bully business and kill
ing would be stopped"
what do you think ought to be
done, Pet?' asked Chief Bishop.
"Well, boss, if you folks would try
niggers right away, and have good
jedge, and give the niggers what they
deserve, lots Of them would be hung
and then the rest of 'em would be
skeered to kill so promiscuous. /
knows you white folks wouldn't want
niggers on a jury, but when a niger
is tried if you would put eleven good
niggers on a jury and let one white
man tell 'em how to write the verdict
and take charge of 'em the niggers
/; would hang some Of these bully mig
gers. And these church bully niggers
would hang sure, sir"
Miller went on to say that the ne
groes wouldn't engage in son many
| rows if they knew the white people
would not look after them, in order to
, work them.
His remedy, and the manner in
which he stated it to Chief Bishop
in an humble way and seeking advice
appealed. to Chief Bishop, and will
appeal to all those who hear Of 1t.

A NEGRO'S REMEDY.
Pet Miller's Cure For Negro Kill
ings in County.

Pet Miller is an humble negro
working on a farm in Newberry coun-
ty, but he is a philosopher. His phil
osophy is homely, it is true, but thai
there is some merit in it will be read
lily recognized, and it is the result o1
close and intimate observance of q
situation which he would do his small
part to relieve.
Pet, while not as old as some Of the
negroes who are respected for what
they did for the white race and fol
their masters" and the families OF
their masters" in the days Of the War
Between the States, is a white mans
negro in the sense in which that term
is generally used. He is a good work
er, respectful and polite.
Pet came to Newberry on Monday
and he happened to meet up with
Chief of Police C.. W. Bishop, one OF
Pets "cap'ns." Pet had heard of the
rowdyism and the rioting at Mt. Olive
church on Sunday, in which one ne
gro was killed and two others serious
ly and possibly fatally injured. This
affair was on Pets mind, and he pro-
ceeded to engage Chief Bishop in con-
versation in regard to it.
"Cap'n," said Pet, eve niggers is
here amongst you white folks, and if
US wasn't I would get away from here
fast as my legs could carry me. You
white folks is good to US Riggers. We
got to do as you all say. Us don't
mind that, because if it wasn't for you
white folks all the niggers would have
done gone to the devil long ago. But
sometimes you white folks Is too good
to U.s.
This Niger riot up heRe' at Mt.
Olive is what's worrying my mind,
Cap'n."

Newberry's Hospitality.

The staff correspondent Of the News
and Courier, in speaking of Newber-
rvs entertainment of the State CAM
paign party, says:
The last and perhaps the mildest,
but by no means the least interesting,
meeting of the South Carolina politi-
cal campaign of 1910 was held in the
opera house here today in the pres
ence of about one thousand persons,
among whom were many ladies, after
which the candidates, weary after two
weeks of strenuous and unceasing
work among the citizenship of the
Palmetto State, departed for their
homes in various sections, there to
await the fruits of their labor.
The meeting today was almost a
love feastfi if any affair of a political
nature can be be denominated; there
were no cross words, no anger, and
everybody seemed glad that the end
had come and happy at the thought OF
being home once more, where some
must stay until their country calls in
louder tones than will be heard on
Tuesday.
The feature of the meeting today
was the splendid reception and enter
tainment given the entire campaign
party by the folks of Newberry, whose
hospitality is unsurpassed and whose
liberality knows no bounds. Newberry
is, indeed, "the city that does things, -
and always, so far as her guests are
concerned, in an unforgettable man
ner in her own peculiarly delightful
way.
Ride in Automobiles.
On arriving from Laurens Friday
afternoon, the party was met at the
depot by autom 0biles, which conveyed
the visitors to the various homes to
which they had been assigned. At
night they we're the guests of Mayor
Blease at smoker in the Elks' club
rooms, which event was most enjoy
able, and after which the citizens gen.
orally saw that no guest had even one
dull moment, and in many ways added
greatly to the pleasure of being in so
delightful a place. This morning an
automobile ride about the city was
provided, which refreshed the visitors
and better prepared them for the more
serious and arduous work to follow.
The verdict is unanimous that New
berry's hospitality is unexcelled, and
for many days will the recipients of
her bounties sing her praises.
Promptly at 10 o'clock County
Chairman Fred H. Dominick called
the meeting to order and in few ap-
propriate remarks welcomed the visi-
tors to one of South Carolina's most
progressive and attractive cities.
The meeting was held in the opera
house, where about thousand citiz-
ems, and, perhaps a hundred ladies
were gathered, all manifesting intense
interest in what practically every
speaker had tc say.

DISPENSARY OR NO DISPENSARY.
Darlington Citizens Circulate Peti'
tions Asking for Vote

Darlington, Sept. 19.-Petitions ad-
dressed to the county supervisor,
praying for an election OH the cues
ton of dispensary OR no dispensary,
are being circulated and freely signed
in this county. There are those who
profess to see in the recent election
returns in this county willingness, on
the part of the people to abandon
what they term the 'howling farce" Of
prohibition, and return to some saner
way of regulating the sale Of alcoholic
drinks.
Some of the strongest anti-dispel-
sary men of former days are interest
ing themselves in behalf Of the pres
ent effort to have a vote and, it is
said, that the petitions are being more
readily signed at this time than wheI:
an effort was made, about two years
ago, to have an election on the
question. Messrs. A. G. Kollock. T.
E. Sigh, George o. Lee, D. D. Wit
cover, C. Alexander and others are
looking after the circulation of the
petitions.

SNOW FELL IN CHEROKEE.
In One Section of County Ground Was
Almost Covered.
The State.

The State.
Gaffney, Sept 21.-The cold day in
August and the cold day in July have
been heard of since time began, but
the cold day in September is some
thing of an oddity. The cold day in
September has been experienced in
this city and surrounding country for
some days and in the Macedonia Sec
ton still stranger things are heard Of
It is the only section of this county
and probably the only part of the State
that can brag of having considerable
fall of snow in the month of Septem-
Der. Such, however, is true. An eye
witness, whose veracity is unquestion-
ed, has just returned from that section
and reports that during the recent cold
snap he sepnt the night with an influ-
entail and prosperous farmer of that
section. The following morning while
he was sitting on the porch, the snow
began to fall and continued steadily
for some time, until the ground was
almost covered. ~. :ua1:.

MILLS WILL SHUT DOWN
ONE WEEK IN OCTOBER
That Much of Curtailment Determined
r on at Meeting of Association in
-. Greenville Wednesday,.

Greenville, Sept. 21.-That consid-
cradle over three millions Of spindles
throughout South Carolina will cease
their output for at least one week in
October was Indicated at meeting
~of the executive committee of the Cot
ton Manufacturers association of
South Carolina, held today in the Of
flee of Captain E. A. Smyth, president
~of the association.
There are 100000 spindles repre-
sented in the membership of the as
sociation and of these over 100000
were represented at the meeting today.
Those present stated their inten-
ton Of shutting down their mills for
at least one week in October on &C
count Of the fact that prices for their
products are now below the cost of
production.
4 letter has been sent out to the
other members of the association in
forming them of the action of the exc
cutive committee and it appears most
likely that nearly all the spindles in
the association will curtail their pro-
duction during one week in October.
