The following special was recelV-
ed last night from Spartanburg
with reference to the position of the
attorney for W. T. Jones:
Mr.. Stanyarne Wilson, attorney
for W. T. Jones Of Union, sentenced
to life imprisonment for wife muir
der in commenting upon the action
Of Chief Justice Jones in granting a
stay Of remittitur in that case said
it simply means that the supreme
court would hold the case under its
jurisdiction for such action as 1t
may desire to take.
The court may rekaew the casa
again, may grant a rehearlng or
NAV without further consideration
send its recent decision sustaining
the decision of the circuit court
back to that court and thus end the
matter. "When the supreme court
sends a decision confirming the cir
euit court back to that court its
i4nisdiction ends and inc cas4 is
settled" said Mr.. Wilson.
1:This action just leaves the case
with the supreme court" Mr.. Will
son added. "Of course I don't
know what the court will do or
whether it will do anything.'
Mr.. Wilson says if the supreme
court has not seem fit to make pub
lie the grounds for granting the
stay in the W. T. Jones case he does
mot feel that he is justified in max
ing any statement, as to the argu-
ments submitted by counsel for the
defense. "Besides," he said, sit
would take three columns in a news
paper to make the situation clear,
so you will have to excuse me from
any discussion whatever Of the
ease.'

Eight Cents a Day, Wages.


Henry Smith Williams In McClure's
tells of the standard of living in Eng
land four centuries ago.
There was a time when a work
man in England received cents a
day as an ordinary wage, when skilled
artisans commanded IL cents a day
and when women worked in the field
at such tasks as reaping straw, hoeing
planting beans and washing sheep, for
cents day; and wise student oil
the subject has expressed the opinion
that the British workman Of that day
was better of than he has ever been
since.
THAT sounds paradoxical. But the
explanation Is this: The workman
who sold his services for cents a
day could buy good beef or mutton fol-
IL cents a pound; wheat cost him
on the average, only Is cents bushel
He could get board for from IL to IL
cents week. The pay he would re
ceive for Is weeks services would
suffice to purchase supply of suit
able foodstuffs. according to the stand
ard Of his time consisting of wheat
malt, and oatmeaD. to maintain his
family for an entire year.
Under these circumstances 8 cents
a day-increased to IL cents in har
vest time-was fair wage, and times
were good for the average workman.

Artificial Rubber q New Field.

One of the most promising of all
fields for the synthetical chemist just
now lies In the possibilities of pro-
ducing india rubber by artificial
means, or even In making the produc-
ton of the natural rubber more uni
form as to grade and more in guam.
tity as coming from its native trees.
Within the last ten years the worlds
annual consumption OF india rubber
has averaged not far from 10000 tons.
That this natural supply has been in
sufYcient is proved by the showing
that prices on such quantity have
risen from $130,000,000 to more than
1870 600, 900 in the worlds markets.
Coming from several varieties of trees
In varying climatic surroundings the
sap handled by different primitive
methods, and the manner of market
ing and shipping in no two places
comparable, the india rubber industry
may be improved. At the present
time there is no commercial rubber
possible to manufacture at q profit
under existing laboratory syntheses.

LITTLE WASTE ALLOWED IN THE
HANDLING OF GOODS.
Practically Nothing 10 Wasted In tho
Shipment Of Millions Of
Pounds Of Sugar, for
Instance.

Waste In the handling of goods Is
one of the biggest drains on modern
business. This is due to the fact that
we are continually working under the
stress of making time" Because OF
this universal feeling Of feverish activ-
ity it is all the more remarkable that
there is such a slight loss in the hand
ling of the millions Of pounds of sugar
that is imported every year from Cuba.
and brought to the American refneries
to be turned into white crystals.
A loss of three pounds Of sugar out
of 100000 pounds handled in the
process of unloading 1t from the
steamer, weighing it on the govern
ment scales and reloading it on to
freight cars doesn't seem a big loss

who buy the sugar.
OF the 100000 or 100000 pounds
of sugar lifted from the holds OF the
tramp steamers that put into New
York or Boston or New Orleans. 1t is
seldom that twenty pounds Is lost by
leakage or other causes. This amounts
to .00O33 of per cent. Sugar Is put
up In bags weighing about 800 pounds
when full. From 10000 to 10000 bags
therefore are unloaded. weighed and
reloaded on to trains at the insignif
cant loss OF twenty or twenty-five
pounds. This is all the more remarka'

Every grain that falls from the
