INDIAN COTTON A FAILURE.
Both Staple and Yield HAVE Proven
Disappointing.

A Washington dispatch says diff
Guilty is experienced by cotton grow
ers in India with both staple and
yield. Many experiments have been
made with the object of improving
both, reports Consul E. Halderman
Dennison, of Bombay, but thus far,
with Indifferent success. Egyptian
and other exotic varieties have been
introduced from time to time, but
the results have not been encourag-
ing.
Under garden culture the finer sta
pies have responded well, but tried
in the fields, they have failed to pro-
duce the results they show in their
native soils. Future efforts will be
devoted to the Improvement of the
staple and yield of the native cot
ton. A tree cotton from which great
results were predicted a few years
ago, has proven disappointing accord
ing to the consul. 1t did very we'll
in garden trials, but when the at
tempt was made to grow it upon a
large scale, failure followed.

In regard to the case pending
against B. B. Evans for issuing an al

out on August s by James H. Fowles,
Jr., said last night that Evans had
given him bond for the amount named

Magistrate Roberts said that Evans
had offered yesterday to have the
check which he gave to Mr.. Fowles
certified. Magistrate Roberts also
stated that he had been told by an Of
fetal of the Bank Of Columbia that
Evans now had funds on deposit sufi-
cient to cover the check. The amount
named in the check is $19.75.

PERENNIAL COTTON.
Government Expert Brings Seed from
Hawaii.

Atlanta, Ca, August 1.-THE cot
ton in Hawaii can never rival that OF
the South, according to DR.. E. V.
Wilcox, director of the govern
ment's Honolulu experiment station,
who is here on a trip of study OF
Southern cotton culture. Mr.. Will
cox says that although the islands
produce a fine grade of sea island
bringing from 80 to 35 cents pei
pound, there are only 10000 acres
suitable for cotton culture. Only l.
600 are now under cultivation.
DR.. Wilcox brought with him some
seed of Caravonica cotton to see
whether it can be grown in this soil
He says that this cotton is perennial
requiring only one planting and bear
ing each year from the same stalk
In Hawaii, he says, these cotto1
plants are pruned to prevent them
from attaining height of 10 to Il
feet.

Ey1CTED FROM HOME SHE SOLD
Miss Richardson, Worth $50, 100000
Refused to Give Up House.

New York, August 19.-Miss Del
larippa Richardson, said to be worth
more than s3O,OOO,eO0, was evicted
to-day from the home in which she
had lived since her birth, so years
ago, because she would not surrender
possession to the man to whom she
had sold it. Accordingly, the marshal
finally had to chop his way through
the front door.
Miss Richardson is one of the
wealthiest women in the world. When
her father, Joseph Richardson, died
in 1897 he inherited the bulk of his
fortune and has since lived frugally
with a maiden cousin. Although she
sold her home she would never allow
the buyer on the premises and he had
to make his plans for rebuilding IT
from outside observations.
While the marshal's men piled the
fraved, old-fashioned furniture on the
sidewalk to-day, Miss Richardson fol-
lowed them about, protesting that
their actions we're outrageous and
that she would complain to Mayor
GaynOr.

MADE HIS WIFE WORK.
Sold Baby's Go-Cart and Clothing to
Pay Bar Bill.

Cincinnati, August 20.-A pathetic
story was revealed by Mrs. Beta Kohl
ing in her suit for a writ of replevin
before Judge Myers here yesterday.
Her husband, who had not been sup
porting her, compelling her to go to
work in shoe factory, had sold the
entire household furniture of their
little fiat, including baby's go-cart and
clothing, to a bartender named Err
remier Gabor, for SO to pay bar
bill.
Gabor refused to allow Mrs. Rolling
to enter the fiat when she returned
from work, and the woman was prac-
tically homeless. Judge Myers issued
the writ of repleivn free of cost and
saw to it personally that it was
served.

A CHANCE FOR THE GIRLS.
Texan Offers Heart and Hand
World Tour for Bridal Trip.

Oh, you girls, just listen. Here is
one lone bachelor, and a cowman
at that, who resides in San Antonio,
and who issues the def to Dan Cupid
or any pretty maid to tie a bell on
him. He has wealth, according to
his statement made to Postmaster
Stevens and is brunette, fairly good
looking and is 35 years old. In his
letter to Dan Cupid, alias Postmaster
J. J. Stevens, the giddy man of the
plains says:
"Old Dan Cupid-Mr. Stevens: |
have been reading of late of the many
pretty girls in the North and in fact
from all portions of the United States,
who were in search of cowboy hus-
band and one that they could love
for the balance of their days. Dur
ing the past fifteen years have gone
with many girls and in each instance
they all told the same story, and that
was, that they had no bad faults and
that they were perfect in every re-
spect. This same old repeated tale
almost made a woman-hater out OF
me, but things have changed since
that time and I am commencing to
| believe that I will let the women
folks have another trial to tie bell
| on me.
with this object in view, l will
for the next month receive proposals
from young ladies that are seeking a
cowpuncher of Texas, and will ex-
change photographs with them. My
motive in seeking a life partner in
this manner is entirely sincere and
if the girls will just give me a chance
to make a pick of my choice. To
the successful winner of my heart
and hand, I will take on a bridal
tour which will embrace greater
portion of the world. I have nice

Antonio and have enough money tc
insure me from any knd Of HARD

How Langtry Missed 1t.

An English diplomat at dinner
in Lenox said of Mrs. Langtry, re-
lates the Washington Star:
when she was at the summit Of
her beauty and fame-when crowds
followed her in Bond street and the
Row-she met at a semi-royal dinner
an African king.
Mrs. Langtry, dazzling in her
beauty, sat beside the king. She was
in good spirits and she did her very
best to amuse and please him; and
she must have succeeded for at the
dinners close he heaved deep sigh
and said to her:
"'Ah, madam, if heaven had only
made you black and fat yau would be
irresistable.'

BUILDING IN FAREWELL.
New Business Section Going Up.
Some Beautiful Residences.

Barnwell, August 19.-It would be
hard to find more handsome block
of buildings within days travel OF
Barnwell than the one comprising the
new homes of the Home Bank OF
Barnwell, Mr.. J. A. Porter and
Messrs. Moseley & Falkenstein
which are now fast nearing compile
ton. With the fronts built of buff
pressed brick and granite with large
plate glass show windows the effect
is most pleasing. The fixtures in the
banking rooms are of mahogany, and
can hardly be surpassed by those
banks in towns many times the size
of Barnwell.
Among other improvements to
business houses the new glass front
of Lemon Brothers dry goods store
and the three new brick stores built
by John Eve are noted.
Barnwell is also taking her right
full place among other progressive
towns when it comes to beautiful
homes. Perhaps Mrs. E. L. Patter-
son has the most beautiful home in
town, since it has been remodelled.
In looking at the colonnade of large
Corinthian columns surrounding wide
porches, all painted pure white, one
is carried back to the golden days of
the old South, so famous for the
beauty of it's homes. The residences
of B. T. Rice, Esq. and the Hon. ].
O. Patterson are no mean seconds,
while that of C. A. Best, Esq, will
take it's place with any for both con-
venience and appearance. Other
residences are "blossoming like the
rose" under the skilful hands Of
architect and painter.

HOMICIDE IN EDGEFIELD.
Warrant Charges j. l.. Grafton with
killing p. o. Thurmond.

Edgefeld, August 19.-To-day P.
E. Thurmond, of Merriweather Town
ship, this county, came to Edgedeld
and, upon information and belief,
swore out a warrant before Magis-
trate \. l.. Brunson, charging Joseph
L. Grafton, also a resident of the
same township, with murder, the kill
ing of P. o. ThurmOnd, brother OF
the defendant. The warrant was
placed in the hands of Sheriff QUITS
and will be executed tomorrow.
According to the statement of Mr..
Thurmond, on last Saturday, about
dark his brother was returning from
church in a buggy and behind him in
another buggy, was the wife of the
accused with her daughter; that Graf
ton appeared from a thicket nearby
with gun and, placing himself in
the public road and in front of Mr..
Thurmonds buggy, fired upon the
latter, three buckshot entering his
thigh and leg. After the shooting, 1t
is said, that Grafton went to a niegh-
boris house and informed him that he
had killed Thurmond. Mr.. Thur
mond was Immediately carried to Au-
gusta for medical treatment and died
in hospital in that city, from the ef-
fects of the wounds the Monday night
following the shooting.
A family trouble is said to be in
volved in the deplorable tragedy and
for that reason and on account of the
prominence of the parties involved
the affair has been kept out Of the
newspapers. Grafton, it is said,
claims that he was fully justified in
shooting Thurmond. 1t appears that
Mrs. Grafton and her daughter were
the only eye-witnesses to the homi-
eide.

BIG REAL ESTATE DEAL CLOSED
New Tourist Hotel May be Erected
on Site Just Changed Hands.

Aiken, August 19.-One of the
largest real estate deals ever carried
through in Aiken county was con-
summated yesterday, when DR.. Theo-
dore C. Stone, of this city, became
owner of the property of Mrs. Rich
ardson, known as the Highland Park
hotel site. While the price paid has
not been divulged, it is said to have
been considerably more than $780,
900.
There is talk of new modern tour
ist hotel being erected on the place,
but information concerning this has
not been confirmed. The tract in
cludes two fine winter residences,
valued at $4,000 and $50 acres Of
land, nearly all of which lie in the
city limits. The old hotel site is one
block from Main street.
Highland Park hotel was burned
about 10 years ago. 1t was one of the
finest hotels in the South and cost
about a half million dollars to build.
Ever since it burned there has been
talg of the erection of another on it's
site. Aiken feels the need of an
other tourist hotel, and it is probable
that this property was purchased for
the purpose of erecting another.
DR.. and Mrs. Stone will occupy the
Richardson residence, on Hayne ave-
nue., but the specific disposition of the
balance Of this valuable property has
not been intimated, though rumor
has it that another hotel is to be
built.

BAGGAGEMAN CUT.
Southern Railway Employe Probably
Seriously Injured.

Spartanburg, August 19.-J. B.
Mintee, baggage master at the South
ern station was cut and seriously
wounded by Davis Prothro, of Aiken,
at the station this morning.
Prothro was an excursionist who
had been a member of the party that
made the trip to Niagra Falls. He
returned to this city last night, and
attempted to check his baggage to
Blackwell, S. c., when he had a
ticket bought from one of the Con-
federate veterans, that entitled him
to go to Erma, S. c. The baggage
master would not check his baggage
to an intermediate station on this
ticket, and the row ensued.
Mintee was taken into the private
sanitarium of DR.. F. L. Potts who
dressed the wounds. He is cut about
the stomach and the blade of the
knife missed the heart but an inch
or two. The physicians are making
a hard fight to save the life Of the
wounded man.
Mintee came to Spartanburg sew
eral months ago and has been en-
ployed at the station for some time.
He is a man about As years old
and is a powerful man physically.
Prothro is we'll known and
prominent man of Aiken. He is
from one of the best known famil-
les in that section and is quite
wealthy. Friends of both the injur-
ed man and Prothro regret the un-
fortunate affair very much.

KILLED A BIG BEAR.
Horny County Farmer Has Interest
ing Experience.

It would be a wonder to some peo-
pie to learn that there are still wild
bear in Horny county, at least in a
section thereof. The sportsman's para
disc, where not only are found the no
BILE stag and Elusive partridge, but
the wild old Bruin himself, is this ex-
treme Eastern section of the State. A
correspondent, writing from Burcol,
states that on Sunday, August 7, Mr..
w. L. Squires, of that section, whose
stock had been bothered by wild
animals, heard hog squealing OF in
the thick swamp, and as this was kept
up for some time he took his gun and
ran to the place. When he arrived he
found a big bear had caught one OF
his hogs, and he had just torn the
hog open. Mr.. Squires fired one of
the barrels of his gun and the bear
ran. AS he turned to run he gave him
the other barrel. AS the second shot
did not take him up and he ran of
into the underground, Mr.. Squlres
called his dog and when the bear
trailed out by the dog, the bear was
dead. He had gone about one hum
dred yards with the two loads OF shot
in him. With the help o. his son Mr..
Souires carried the bear out OF the
swamp. He was of large size and
would have weighed at least 200
pounds. The hog that was killed was
two years old and we'll grown. The
correspondent states that the bears
have been unusually bad in the swamp
this year. They have DESTROYED more
or less hogs every year it seems

OLD PENNSYLVANIA TAVERN.
On Early Stage Coach Route-Noted
For it's Fine Meals.

The old Stone House at the juno
ton of the Franklin and Plttsburg
pike with the Erie and Pittsburg
pike is one of the noted historic spots
in Butler county. Half a century ago
the great stage coaches over these
noted highways put up at the Stone
House for the night. Buckwheat
cakes, honey, country ham, sausage
Indian mush, doughnuts, roasted
potatoes and mince and custard pies
formed the larger part of the menu
at this noted hostelry.
The building was erected in 1919
and is still ucccupied. 1t stands at
the crossroads and is surrounded al
most entirely by a dense forest. 1t
was the first house built possibly, on
a. thousaid acre tract of land taken
up by the Mcclure family and is still
in their name.
There are many wild and weird
stories connected with the famous
house which the old people in the
neighborhood tell, but they lack in
the element which makes them true
history. However, it is not too much
to say that previous to the civil war
strangers we're known to enter the
old Stone House who were never
again seen. These we're in the days

EACH ONE COUNTED COST 15c.
Expenses of Recent Census Will
Amount Of About $14,OOO,OOO.

Washington, August 19.-The cen
sus of 1910 is going to cost about 5
cents per capita-that is, the total
expense of the 18th census will cost
between 100000 and 15,00O,-
900. As there are about 90,000,000
people in the country, this will mean
about Is cents per head.
This is about s3,000,000 more than
congress has appropriated for the
service-s12,000,O00. The remand
er of the cost of taking the census
will be paid for by deficiency" ap-
preparation. On July 1 the balance
of the appropriation on hand was
$5,111,617.1S. There is considerably
less now. All but about 5000
enumerators have been paid off, and
most of this has been done since
July /. They being paid as fast as
the vouchers can be put through.
Nearly 100000 has been paid out
to enumerators.
The pay roll at the census Office in
Washington is nearly 100000 a
month, or pretty close to s2,500,00O
per year. Some time ago there was
considerable dissatisfaction among
some of the clerks because Director
Durand placed them on a "piece
work. basis with some new machines.
The machine is very complicated
one in it's workings, though it is easy
to manipulate. The clerks complained
that their unfamiliarity with it made
it impossible for them to make a liv-
ing wage. Now, however, since they
have become accustomed to the ma
chimes, and are better able to operate
them, they make in some instances
almost twice as much as they would
be making at this time had they con-
tinued on the fat salary basis. Some
of the women who work the machines
earn as high as Sc day.
