Will Fight Increase on Rates.

Greenville, July 2S.-It was learn
ed here tonight through private ad-
vices from Atlanta that committee
of prominent cotton manufacturers,
representing the Cotton Manufacture
ers' Association of South Carolina,
visited Atlanta yesterday and re-
tained Messrs. Wimbish & Ellis of
Atlanta and Washington as leading
counsel to represent them in the
United States courts and before the
interstate commerce commission to
resis the advance in coal rates pro-
posed by the Southern railway and to
take effect August Is.
The advance in coal rates will ap-
ply to South Carolina only and will
add to the cost of coal for domestic
purposes and for steam coal used for
the manufacturing purposes. Other
counsel in Atlanta and South Carolina
were also retained and the protest
against the increased rate, which will
affect everybody in upper South Caro-
lima, will be vigorously pushed in both
the United States courts and before
the interstate commerce commission.

Cholera Kills Many Russians.

St. Petersburg, July 2S.-The ex-

vealed in figures made public to-day

sion. The stricken region now in
cludes forty-two provinces and terri
tories of European Russia and since

Woman Seeks Governorship.

Concord, N. H., July 15.-Marllla
M. Kicker, of Dover, is planning to
be the next governor of her home
State. She has filed formal appli-
cation with the secretary of State,
accompanied by check for S100'
which is necessary to enter her name
as a candidate under the new State
primary law, to be tried for the first
time this fall. The check was for
warded through Mrs. Ricker's local
attorney, and is to be followed at
once by declaration of platform.
Mrs. Kicker has just returned from
San Jose, CAL, where she spent the
winter and spring. She was the first
woman to seek a diplomatic post.
She sent her application with strong
endorsements to President Mckinley
for the post of minister to Columbia.
She was the first woman lawyer to
to be admitted to the bars of
the District of Columbia and
of New Hampshire, and was as
sociate counsel with the late Col.
IngersoN in the star route trials.

GYPSIES CROWN NEW KING.
Ceremony Takes Place in Washing
ton Law Office.

Washington, July 19.-Emil Mitch
ell, a stalwart, swarthy nomad OF
some so summers, was to-day crown
ed king of the Gypsies" in the Uni
ted States. The coronation occurred
in the law Office of Britton, Gray &
Browne, in this city. The unusual
ceremony was witnessed by the chiefs
of the five tribes of gypsies in this
country and several members OF
Mitchell's family.
No outsider knows why the gypsies
always come to Washington to crown
their new rulers, unless it is that here
they can get more bright-colored rib
bon on the official documents than
they can anywhere else. King
Emil" who at present halls from the
vicinity of New Orleans, was duly
elected to succeed Zlatcho Dimito,
who recently migrated to Canada and
thus gave up his "office."
When the certificate of election had
been duly signed by the tribal chiefs,
Evans Browne, the attorney who had
charge of the negotiations, sent the
papers to the department of justice,
where a big red seal was affixed to
show that r. W. Snow, the notary
who oficiated, was duly qualified to
witness the important instrument

Serious Fight in Greenville.

Greenville, July 27.-Bad feeling
of long standing caused a very seri-
Gus affray here to-day between Ar
thur Roper and William Trotter, two
well-known farmers, about miles
from the city, in which Trotter had
two ribs broken, nose broken, skull
fractured and some other physical
injuries of a more or less serious ma
ture. He is in critical condition
and Roper is in jail, bail having been
refused him by the magistrate.
Details concerning the encounter
are contradictory and hard to obtain
accurately, but reports say that Ro-
per was in a wagon in the road and
was accosted by Trotter, who, it is
said, cursed him. In the affray
which followed, Roper is said to
have used rocks as his weapons.
Other reports are that Trotter also
had a knife.
Both men are we'll known in this
section. Trotter is middle aged
man, while Roper is about 80 years
of age.
Roper was arrested to-day and
lodged in Jail, his bond being re-
fused by the magistrate until there
is some change for the better in
Irotter's condition.

Crime Begets Crime.

Crime begets crime; of this police
records offer ample proof. That
crimes run in cycles also is true.
When one atrocious murder is COM
mitted it is likely to be followed by
another, sometimes by many, of much
the same characteristics, the line OF
criminal thought made notorious by
the original deed being clearly trace
able. Take the Charlton case, for
example. A youth of twenty-five
years, infatuated with woman great
ly his senior, madly jealous of her
and much given to qaurreling, killed
her with a hammer. He stuffed her
BODY into a trunk and sank it in Lake
Como. Then he disappeared Natu-
rally the disappearance caused COM
ment and comment led to the dis
covery. Charlton did not plan the
deed. He killed in fit of rage and
he did what an experienced criminal
scarcely would have done-fed to
America. He was caught and then
he confessed.
The Charlton murder was commit
ted a month or more ago. Since then
two cases of murder, with an attempt
to dispose of the body by jamming 1t
into a trunk, have been brought to
light-one in New York and one in
Portland, Ore. The more recently
reported Crippen murder in London
cannot have been a result of the
Charlton crime, because it probably
was committed previously. But, nev-
ertheless, it helps justify the state
ment of veteran police officer in
St. Louis, and of other crime experts,
that an atrocious crime generally is
followed by number of like charac-
ter
What causes this? No definite an
swer has yet been made, but without
doubt it is largely prompted by the
spirit of imitation. AS good people
people of high ideals-seek to en-
ulate and initiate noble deeds and he
roic examples, so men of base pur-
pose and criminal instincts may be
moved to rival the achievements of
notorious criminals who are cleverer
than they. After all, it is question
of ideals, hte lesser mind aping the
greater, whether it be in lawful pur-
suits or in committing crime. So we
have one explanation, perhaps, of
"crime waves" 1t is question of
morals and ideals reversed, perverted
from their true channel.-lndlan-

WOMAN COMMITS SUICIDE.
Mrs. Marion B. Jennings Takes Her
Life with Pistol.

Spsrtanburg, July 2S.-Mrs. Mari
on B. Jennings committed suicide
this morning by shooting herself in
the left temple. The shots, two in
number, aroused the family as they
were at the breakfast table, and Mr..
Jennings rushed into his wife's bed
room and found her already dying,
lying in a great pool of blood.
For four months Mrs. Jennings
had been in i'll health and had recent
ly been suffering greatly from malan-
cholia, but it was not feared that
she would do herself injury. Ibis
morning she sent her youngest daugh-
ter out of her room, saying she de-
sired to be alone to sleep, and the act
was evidently then meditated. Within
few minut S two shots were heard.
Mrs. Jennings secured an old pistol
that had been left in her bedroom.
The pistol was placed against her left
temple and the head was practically
torn completely awey. The family are
prostrated with grief.
Mrs. Jennings was about year or
more ago married 70 Mr.. Marion B.
Jennings, son + State Treasurer Jcn-
nings, Mr.. Jennings having formerly
lived at Yorkville, where he practlced
law for several years after leaving
Columbia a few years ago. Mrs. Jen-
nings was also a former Columbian,
Miss Emma Hanahan, sister OF Dr.
Hanahan, of Columbia. She was
first married to Mr.. Ernest Beard, OF
Yorkville, and by that marriage has
four daughters, all of whom are at
home here except one, whose home
is in Yorkvile About year ago she
was married to Mr.. Jennings, and
they made their home in Spartan
burg, where Mr.. Jennings is practic-
ing his profession. Mrs. Jennings
was 81 years of age.
The body will be taken tomorrow
to Yorkville for interment.

BAD WRECK Qs COAST LINE.
Freight Train Goes into Trestle Near
EaStOVer.

Florence, July 27.-Atlantic Coast
Line through freight train, No. 221,
with Engineer Hammock and Con-
ductor Heinsberger in charge, was
badly wrecked at Toms Creek trestle,
near Eastover, last night.
This train runs from Columbia to
Charleston, and left Columbia on
time. About 500 feet west of Toms
Creek trestle, the flange of one of the
coal cars in the train mounted the
rail and finally jumped the track,
running along on the ties to the tres
tie and finally landing in the bottom
of the trestle as the entire trestle
structure was demolished. This tres
tie is about 100 feet long. Fourteen
box cars, fiat cars and coal cars were
derailed and piled high in the air, a
mass of wreckage.
In the train there was a carload
of machinery, and among it was
stationary boiler smoke stack. A ne
gro tramp, beating his way from Co.
lumbia to Sumter, and bound for
Mars Bluff, where he was going to
work on the double track of the
Coast Line, was caught in the wreck
age, he having crawled in this stack
to hide from the conductor. When
the wreck occurred this stack was
thrown so feet away from the track
out into a field, and the "nigger'
with it. When he landed and the
noise was over, the negro crawled out.
He was found bleeding and battered
from head to foot, but able to "sit
up and take nourishment." He was
sent to a hospital in Columbia for
REPAIRS"
The negro stated that there was
white tramp aboard the train when
it left Columbia, but up to noon to-
day he had not been found. He may
be under the wreckage in the trestle.
Immediately after the wreck oc-
Cured a wrecking train from Flor
ence was dispatched to the scene, with
Train Master Hare and others to
clear the main line, but it was found
to be such a bad wreck that the
wrecking train from South Rocky
Mount was also sent down to assist in
the work. These two crews will have
the line opened by midnight tonight.
None of the crew were injured. One
hundred feet of trestle and 500 feet
of track will have to be rebuilt, be-
sides fourteen cars will have to be
gotten up before the line will be SER
viceable.
All trains to and from Columbia
last night and to-day, were detoured
over the Southern Railway via Sum-
ter, Kingville and Columbia.

The corn from these States totalled
61,7S7,000 bushels more than was
produced by the following Northern
States: Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michi-
gan Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Kansas, and
Colorado. Mr.. Calvin says he chose
these Northern States as basis of
comparison because they more near
ly than any others approached the av-
erage yield per acre in the United
States
These Northern States, the report
says, produced nearly twice as much
corn per acre as did the Cotton States;
the acre yield in the North averaging
25.5 bushels against 1914 bushels in
the South.
MARK the fact the report adds:
1T locates the weak spot in our arm
or. 1t tells us that We need not in
crease our corn acreage one inch.
What we need to do is to increase our
average yield per acre.
How this increase may be accom-
plished is then shown by figures from
the Georgia experiment stations
work, where an average yield of 40.6
bushels per acre was obtained in
1909.

SWANSEA DISTRICT REPORTS
 R|CH ORE STRIKE LATELY

WICKENBuRG. Apr1 1s.--C. F. Goddard has just returned from a wis it to his Black Copper group. To- cated about six miles from Swansea. where he was called by a telegram telling of a strike of rich ore that was made on the property.
 He found the claims looking even better than he was led to expect. A good body of ore has been struck near the surface and the indications are all of the best le there three more claims were located and the contract let for work. The prop. erty was owned by Messers. Goddard and Davenport. but a few days ago q third interest was sold. The dew elopment of the property s expected to keep up during the sumner.
 Mir. Goddard also visited Swansea and returned filled with enthusiasm over the outlook. There are no horses and mules at work in the town grading streets and making needed Improvements. The founda- tions are ready to receive the heavy machinery that is constantly arriy- ing an being paced as fast as 1t comes into camp. Cons derable of the mach nery has already been placed and tested. and so far every part has worked perfectly.
 There are 53O men on the pay roll and over one thousand people in the camp altogether.

A lady is now managing the depart ment. and under her direction things seem to be working to perfect on. There is a smaller dining room that seats forty people and has all the accessories of a good hotel, where the officers of the company. their guests and any visitor that may be in camp may dine. The food Is prac- tically the same, the only difference teing the service. The charge for board in the large dining room IS one dollar per day, wh le that in the smaller is SIPS or fifty cents for a single meal

ANOTHER ALTAR IS LOOMING IN

 TUCSON. April 1S-"Wateh the Quijotoa district, so miles west of Tucson. 1t win excell the Altar plac- CTS and cause as big a rush of min
 ng men as Altar has experienced. Representative of at least eight com panies have gone to Quijotoa within the past five days and are getting hold Of land as fast as they can. said Judge s. W.

The ledge as he described it is 20 feet wide and assays an average test of from S3.5o to g. per ton. He brought in 40 samples to substantiate h's state ments. and our men are out to inves- igate that ledge.
 The richness Of the Quijotoa dis trlct has been known for years, but like the Altar, the values were i'm bedded in a formation which turned to cement in water. We will have a Quinner machine in there just as soon as we can get it. l have no doubt but that the big product on of the Altar district will be equalled and very probably largely excelled in Quijotoa.
 Speaking of the Quinler ma chine. went to Altar few days ago and watched one of the mach mes In operation for over three hours.
