Orangeburg Mill Shuts Down.

When the present stock is worked
up at the cotton mill of the Orange
burg Mfg. Co., the announcement
is given out that the mill will be
closed down for six weeks, and per-
haps longer, all depending on the
price of the staple, and the price OF
the manufactured article, it is stated
that there is a loss to the mill of ST.
per bale, and the mill has been or
dered to close until there are better
prospects In view.
Col. w. G. Smith has just returned
from a trip to the north, and in COM
ment on the situation he states that
he has never before seen anything to
equal the present situation in the
mill business. Col. Smith, who Is
president of the Orangeburg Mfg.
Co., has been in the mill business for
thirty years, and has passed through
several panics, but never before has
the situation been 80 acute as the
present. Col. Smith has at all
times hiterto been able to keep
his mills in operation, at least
for a portion of every week,
but for a full shut down, he
has never yet been compelled to re-
sort.
Cotton is now being sold the mills
for prices above Is cents, and 1t is
truly in the hands of the spectators,
and in the words of Col. Smith, the
manipulators are "killing the goose
which laid the golden egg." Other
mills in the South are in the same
predicament as the local mill finds
itself, and on his return from the
North, Col. Smith visited several of
the up country mill towns and at one
mill he found a stock Of 5000 bales
of cloth manufactured at a loss of
SIS per bale. For this reason the
president and directors of the local
mill have decided to shut down for
the present at least, and they will
not again begin operation until the
price Of the manufactured article
takes an advance in price, or cotton
drops somewhat in price.
The Orange Mills, the yarn mill
located here, has been shut down
for a week or more now, but this
has been for the purpose of Install
ing a new engine. AS soon as this
work has been completed, the mill
is expected to begin operations
again, but will probably run on short
time. The price of yarn manufac-
tured by this mill, has not made any
advance, either, and the mill while it
is able to continue running, Is not
making any money, it Is stated

LAWYERS PHoNEY FEE.
Bank Cashier and Treasury Experts
Took it As Good.

A noted lawyer of one Of the
Southern States, famous not only for
his brilliant mind and legal ability,
but also for his rigid code Of honesty,
used to tell this story on himself,
says The New York Herald.
Soon after the civil war the judge
was called on to defend a man ac-
cused os passing counterfeit money.
The old lawyer after investigating
the matter and satisfying himself
thsss the man was innocent Of any
intent to DO wrong and had only paid
out money which he had received in
good faith, undertook the case.
When the case came up for trial the
jury was 50 impressed by the Judges
plea for his client and his explana-
ton Of the circumstances that ver-
dict of not guilty was rendered with
out delay.
The acquitted man was very CRATE
full to the Judge, and after thanking
him profusely for getting him out Of
the ugly scrape, said:
Judge, I'll never forget what
you've done for me, and some day l
hope to be able to prove my graft
tude; but the only thing I can do now
is to pay your fee, and I'll pay what
ever you ask. How much 1t is?"
"Well, I think about $1,000 will
be fair" replied the Judge.
That's fair enough, sir" agreed
the client, "but, judge the only mon
ey I've got is the same kind Of money
that I have just been prosecuted for
spending. Some of that money is
good and some of it is the counter
felt that was worked of on me, and
don't know t'other from which.
Now, I will pay you s1,500 in the
bills that 1 have got and you do the
best you can with it..
AS there seemed nothing else to
do, the judge agreed to this, and the
client paid him $500 in bills and
left him.
The Judge took the $500 to his
bank and explained the circumstances
! to the cashier and asked him to take
out the bills which he as an expert
pronounced good. The cashier did
80, and the Judge deposited the &C
cepted bills to his credit, and then
taking the package of doubtful mon
ey to another bank he made the same
explanation and request Of the cash
Ter, the bank receiving on deposit the
money, which, as experts, they pro-
nounced good.
"And do you know" said the
Judge, latter I had visited six banks
1 had got rid of all the money ex-
cept five $40 bills, which all the
banks had agreed were counterfeit,
and my fee In the case instead of be-
ing the $1,000 which I originally
charged the man netted me $1,400,
and I've always had suspicion that
If there had been few more experts
in the town I would have got rid OF
those last FIVE $40 bills"
what became of the five bad
twenties?" some one asked. the
judge.
I'm not sure" replied the old
lawyer. my wife asked me for them
| and shortly afterward she made a
trip to Washington. When she re-
turned she showed me brand new
hundred dollar bill, which she said
she had got at the United States
treasury-but I never asked her any
questions. I knew the treasury de-
partment had experts, too"
