New York. Nov. s.-Bradstreet's re-
view of the state of trade tomorrow viii
say:
Favorable central features in this
weeks trade reports comprehend better
distribution at retail. due 10 cool
weather: somewhat larger filling-in or
ders, for which the advance Of the sea-
son and light buying by retailers
earlier in the year are responsible: the
realization OF cheaper meat supplies, at
least as regards wholesale prices; firmer
feeling in pig iron. and increased BUSH
ness In holiday goods.
Groceries, seas0nable lines Of hard
ware. and winter wearing apparel show
most activity. However, there Is con-
siderable room for improvement In retail
distribution, which Is stu affected by
the prevalence OF open weather in parts
of the country. and which has been slow
in expanding. owing. probably, 10 the
high level of prices that has prevailed
for some time past.
There is more doing on spring ac-
count. but business IN this respect is
still marked by conservatism and buy
ers in many lines seem disposed TO hold
OFF because prices are not 10 their liking.
ION the other hand, first hands display
no particular anxiety 10 book heavily
ahead. because Of the high level OF raw
material, the difference between which
and the selling price of the manufactured
article leaves little room for profit
Salutary changes IN the situation are re-
hected in the quieting down of speeula-
ton, especially IN hides and cotton.
In the agricultural communities farm
ers seem to be in a good position TO hold
their remaining crops of wheat and cot
ton for higher prices, and this fact. in
turn. has caused country banks 10 hus-
band their resources, and IN some In
stances 10 draw down their balances with
city banks"

There are people in this section, who
have intelligent estimates of the value
of trees. There are some folks who
being so lucky as to own the few re-
naming patches of original forest real
ly prize them far beyond their present
money value. But the vast majority
of the population has not yet been
able to bring it's mind beyond the time
when land that was covered with for
ests was regarded as nuisance, and
when the principal value that attached
to such land grew out of the anticipa-
ton of the fine corn it would bring
once it had been subjected to the ruin
Gus labor and expense of clearing it.
AS the result of intelligent teaching by
the Federal government and number
of northwestern states something is
now being done in the way of refores-
tation. Some of the western plains
and even some of the deserts are be-
ing reclaimed with trees. There are
cases where work commenced fifteen
suited in very heavy returns. But this
is mostly in the west. Our own people
are giving but little attention to this
subject which is of tremendous import
ance to them. Not one land owner out
of hundred seems to realize the tre
mendous profit that he can make for
his old age or for his children even by
stopping the ruthless waste of the tim
ber that is allowed to continue on his

Harvey Griffin was at the time.
Roy Griffin being sworn, testified in
effect as follows: l was in the store
last night when Adam Edwards left
there, and while looking over towards
Eb Nevins's l heard a gun fire and
heard Eb calling Mr.. Bayne, and saw
him start across the road. l could not
tell the point from which the gun was
fired. / saw no one but Mr.. Nevins.
l do not know where my brother Har-
vey was at the time.
This was the case so far as the cor

and 1t was decided to leave the matter
there with a verdict to the effect that
the deceased Game to his death by a
gunshot wound, the gun being in the
hands of parties unknown to us at this
time"
Sheriff Brown and Constable San
ders went to the scene of the tragedy
Tuesday morning; but the inquest had
been completed and the jury discharg-
ed before they got there. They made
a number Of observations Of the sur
roundings and talked to some of the
witnesses who had testified and to 9TH
ers; but were unable to get any evil
dence that seemed at all conclusive as
to the probable identity Of the assassin.
The moon was shining brightly Mon

and people could be recognized for
quite a distance.

parents, In Yorkville, Miss Mary Dob
son, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w.
Dobson, was married to DR.. VIM. II.
Poston, young physician of Florence
county. The officiating clergyman was
Rev. o. A. Jeffcoat, Of the Methodist
church. The parlor and dining room
of the residence had been thrown into
one for the ceremony, and were prettily
decorated with potted plants and ever
green's. An arch Of ivy and holly made
a striking green and scarlet frame and
background for the wedding party. A
few minutes before o'clock, Miss An
mate of the bride, rendered beautifully
DeKoven's, "Oh. Promise Me-" and
Immediately afterwards Miss Edna
Burns of Charleston, her accompa-
mist, began Mendelssohn's wedding
march, to the strains of which the
wedding party entered. First the
bridesmaids, Miss Louise Dobson, sis
ter of the bride, and Miss Stella Abbott
of st. George, another Of her school
mates, accompanied by the groomsmen,
DR.. H. M. Graham of Scranton, and Mr..
C. E. Dobson, brother of the bride.
Then the bride, lovely in her travelling
costume, a brown coatsuit with hat to
match, and the groom in a black busi-
ness suit. The ceremony, beautiful in
it's simplicity, was performed in a most
earnest and impressive manner. The
party in the center Of the rooms un-
der the green arch with it's red berries,
brightly lighted by small candles scat
tered thickly through it, formed
beautiful picture. Miss Stella Abbott
was becomingly gowned in beau
tiful pink silk, with silver trim
mines, and Miss Louise Dobson was
charming in blue crepe de chine with
real lace. A large company of friends
accompanied the couple to the c. &
NV. depot from where they left on
the 5.39 train for an extended wedding
tour to Charleston, Savannah and the
Florida east coast. The presents,
which were exhibited in the dining
room, were numerous and beautiful
and were examined and admired by the
many guests. The bride, who has
grown from childhood to womanhood
in this community, Is the eldest daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Dobson, and
Is admired and loved as graceful and
beautiful girl. Her many friends re-
gret her departure from Yorkville, but
congratulate the bridegroom upon the
charming wife he has won.

Although the assassination of Mr.. E.
P. II. Nevins in his store two miles
from Fort Mill, cannot be taken as a
blot on the fair name of the commu-
nifty in which the foul deed occurred,
it will have to be admitted that so
there will be an embarrassing cloud.
Mr.. Nevins had been in the neighbor-
hood for q number Of years. He had
been fired upon before and his store
had been burned. If there is no pretty
general conviction as to the whyfore Of
these occurrences, the circumstance is
strange. It Is no less strange
than the fact that a man can be shot
to death in his own door with a dozen
or more people in hearing of the re-
port of the gun with which the mur
derous deed was done and no good and
true man be able to gather an idea Of
who fired the shot. There are those
who say that Nevins was bad and
man; but so far as the rec
ord goes, it does not appear that he
was disposed to go out Of his way to
hunt trouble with people who were not
with him. That he
would fight, and fight hard and quick
is we'll understood by those who knew
him; but it has never been charged
that there was anything of the assas-
sin about him. So far as the record Of
his difficulties goes he has always been
open and aboveboard. But as to
whether he was a bad man Is neither
here nor there. However bad he may
have been, the person who so foully
did him to death is ten times worse.
Mr.. Nevins was never considered
menace to the community in which he
lived The man who assassinated him
can be considered in no other light,
and If he escapes unscathed, the con-
sequences of the present horrible
crime, there is no telling what good
citizen may be his next victim. The
in which he lives will be
considered more dangerous than if it
were known to harbor rattlesnakes and
hyenas, and it is hoped that the good
people of the neighborhood will spare
no effort or expense in putting him in
the clutches of the law.
