Cotton Crop Short.

AS an evidence of the shortage of
the cotton crop in this section, Mr..
Jacob Ehrhardt sends us the follow
ing figures in regard to the cotton
ginned and shipped at Ehrhardt last
and this year, of the same dates.
These figures should have appeared
in his letter last week, but were
omitted on account of our absence:
Up to October Gath, 1909, the Con-
rad Ehrhardt Co. had ginned 1,45O
bales; this year same date they had
ginned only 676 bales. There was
shipped from Ehrhardt last year to
October oath, 5000 bales; this year
same date only 1900 bales had been
shipped. These figures seem to indi-
cate that less than half crop was
made in that section, and this short
age in cotton and correspondingly
dull business seems to prevail all over
the State.

Department Store Burned.

Savannah, Ca, Oct. S0.-Fre
which began it's attack in the top
story of the four-story building oc-
cupied by Daniel Hogan company's
department store here burned several
hours tonight and caused loss OF
$4,000, partly insured. Part of the
stock of F. M. Kirby & Co., next door,
was damaged. The fire occurred at
the spot where the disastrous confla-
grafton of April, 1889, began. The
blaze was very stubborn. Its origin
is unknown.

FARMER MURDERED.
E. M. Moye Killed With Own Gun in
in His Own Home.

Florence, Oct. 29.-The body Of E.
NJ. Moye, one of the most popular
farmers in the county, was found on
the piazza of his home near Ebenezer
this morning, he having been shot to
death during the night. A negro has
been lodged in Jail on suspicion, but
there is little to indicate the guilt Of
any one.
Mr.. Moye returned from church at
Timmonsville last night with Howard
Cole, a neighbor, and got out of Mr..
Coles buggy at his gate. He was a
widower and lived alone.
One woman living near the place
claims to have heard a gun shot about
the time he is supposed to have been
shot, near II o'clock, but no investi-
cation was made. The neighborhood
is thickly settled and one Of the best
in the State. Mr.. Moye's own gun
had been used to kill him and was
found at the house.
The murderer had probably con-
cealed himself in room, with rob-
berry in view, for Mr.. Moye was known
to have sold some hogs and some cot
ton yesterday. If the house was
| robbed all that seems to be missing
! is a suit case and a suit of clothes.
Mr.. Moye was evidently surprised
by his assailant for though he had a
| pistol in his pocket, he had not at
tempted to draw it.
Indignation in the county is high
| over the killing.

Hurt in Auto Accident at WinnsborO.
=: Miraculous Escape.

e.: Miraculous Escape.
Winnsboro, Oct. 29.-Mr. w. Jul
ian Annette, who was injured by the
wrecking of his automobile in the
county fair races, is not hurt so Sc
riously as it was first thought and the
physicians state that in all proba-
bility he will be out again in few
days. Mr.. Gwaltney, who was driv-
ing the car at the time Of the acci-
dent, aside from a few minor bruises,
is injured. That they both es-
capped serious injuries or death itself
one could hardly believe after seeing
where the car jumped into a ditch,
turning over several times. After the
accident all the other races for the
fair were called off, only one having
been run up to this time by Mr..
Pat Walker, who made the distance
of a mile and fraction in two min
utes.

A HUMAN CARPET.
Living Pathway Formed as a Compli-
ment to Bride.

A writer in London Tit-Bits de-
scribes an extravagant compliment
which he witnessed some years ago
while travelling in the Brazils.
The occasion, he tells us, was the
wedding of the daughter of the COM
manding officer of large military
training college. The bride, with her
sisters, had from childhood taken
part in the entertainments and con-
certs in the school and was i'm
mensely popular with the students.
The wedding took place in the col
lege, and from the door by which she
was to leave to the bridal carriage,
some little distance, bright strip of
carpet had been spread. This was
fanked on either side by wall of
eager cadets.
AS the bride appeared about forty
five to fifty of these stepped forward
and Immediately laid themselves side
by side, face down, upon the carpet,
thus forming a living pathway ex-
tending from the door right to the
carriage.
I do not know who invented the
idea, but it was evidently complete
surprise to the bride, who looked
quite scared as she halted in the door
way. The bridegroom, however,
laughingly took her hand and, him
self walking on the ground, persuad-
ed her to advance.
Once her surprise had been over
come and she realized the compli-
ment intended, the brides smile was
radiant as she slowly walked over
the line of men with care and ten
derness which were almost caress,
her little high heeled slippers tread
ing daintily upon the live, yielding
bodies, which formed what is surely
the most luxurious pathway ever
traversed by beautiful woman.
Probably this incident is unique,
even in a country where politeness is
carried to such a. pitch that workmen
and beggars in the street gravely
raise their hats to each other.
That there is nothing new under
the sun is, however, shown by the
fact that the natives of the Hervey
islands, in the Pacific, were formerly
accustomed to provide in this same
manner an "ara tangata," or living
pathway, for the bride, extending
from her home to that of her newly
welded husband

Negress Rescues Mistress.

Albany, Ca, Oct. 30.-Lillie Pres
ton, a negro woman employed by Mrs.
Lee WILDLY, wife of local mer-
chant, is near death to-day after hav-
ing saved her mistress from death
from fire late last night.
Mrs. Whidby's dress was ignited at
an open CRATE and she ran into the
yard of her home. The negro wo-
man overpowered her, dragged her to
the bath room and extinguished the
flames. Mrs. WILDLY is verJ serious
ly burned but will recover. The ne
gro woman's hands were burned to a
crisp, and she is badly burned else
where.

MURDER OF MISS BROWN.
Sister of Chester Minister Foully
Slain in Lexington, Va.

Chester, Oct. 29.-Friends of the
Rev. C. G. Brown, Of Pleasant
Grove, Chester county, will be
grieved to learn of the murder of his
sister, Miss Fanny Brown, few days
ago, in Virginia. When information
of Miss Browns death was received
it was supposed that she had died
from natural causes, but later in
formation divulges the fact that she
was murdered. The following clip
ping from the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch gives about all of the inform
alton that is procurable about the
affair here:
Lexington, Va, Oct. 23.-Harry
Sitlington, colored, 16 years old, was
brought from Lexington to Walkers
Creek at o'clock this morning and
lodged in Jail on the charge of muir
dering Miss Fanny Brown.
Details of the crime are meagre.
uSt UOS, WIZ ID SL4dll lol LID oSS'
admitted the homicide, but implicat-
ed two white boys in the neighbor-
hood.
Miss Brown was attacked with
clubs as she entered the barn to gath
er eggs. According to the negro's
statement, the three boys together
struck her with clubs and beat her
to death. The alleged motive was
hatred of the Browns on the part of
the boys. Members of the family had
accused the white boys of stealing
apples.
Miss Brown was about 55 years
old. Her mother, 80 years old, and
four brothers survive, one being the
Rev. C. G. Brown, of Chester, S. c..
Strong feeling prevails in the vicinity
of the crime.
The negro confessed his guilt at
the preliminary hearing last night
before Justice Ward, who was acting
coroner. He had lived with the
Browns for five years.

COURT CLOSES SALOONS.
Injunction Issued Against Memphis
Liquor Sellers.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 27.-The
status of the prohibition question in
Tennessee, so far as the jurisdiction
of the federal court for the district
extends, will be finally defined short
ly. This was announced late this af-
ternoon by Judge John E. Mccall in
the United States circuit court, after
hearing arguments as to whether a
temporary Injunction against certain
saloon keepers should be made per-
petual or dissolved. In the meantime
ia downtown saloons are dark, In
obedience to restraining order. The
question hinges on the construction
of the 14th amendment to the United
States constitution.
Law Not Enforced.
Members of the Law Enforcement
league charge that their constitution
al rights as citizens and the protec-
ton assured them are being abridged
through the non-enforcement Of the
State prohibition laws, and that ap-
peals for relief to the State and local
officials have failed of results, max
ing imperative recourse to the fed
eral authorities.
To7day's argument largely turned
on the jurisdiction of the federal
court. The plaintiffs contended that
no effort was being made to enforce
the State laws prohibiting the traffic
in liquor; that grand juries had fail
ed in establishing the fact of its non
enforcement and attendant lawless-
ness and citing an adverse public SEN
timent to the legislation, holding in
the main that the laxity of the State
and city officers had been construed
as denial to the complaining citi-
zens of their constitutional rights.
The Defense.
The defendants denied the juris-
diction of the United States, declaring
that the 14th amendment was intend
ed to protect citizens against griev-
ances inflicted by the act of the State
or it's constitutional authorities, but
not against non-action; that the
plaintiffs failed to establish an indi-
vidual injury sustained and that the
bill is inconsistent in that it charges
malfeasance without establishing the
responsibility Of the defendants with
the alleged malfeasance. Affldavits
filed by State and local officials deny
any alleged indisposition to enforce
the law.
A peculiar situation is that several
hundred saloons not included in the
injunction continue in business.
In the absence of decisions of an
identical nature, the opinion Of Judge
Mccall will establish a precedent.

ment Company at the Grand Opera
House is the act OF Flossie LaNan.
She IS billed as That Talkative Gifi
but she sings and adds a number OF
features to her songs. In order 70

few minutes rehearsal Miss LaNan
turned the entire orchestra into a
company Of comedians. They make
remarks at the proper time, fire back
pert answers 20 the performer on the
stage and also join in the chorus Of

This little act has attracted more
than usual attention but the orchestra
is not anxious for more Of the same
