Padgett Unknown to South Carolina
Methodists.

From the Atlanta Constitution
comes the report that the Rev. B. L.
Padgett. claiming to be a Methodist
preacher from Greenville, S. c., was
apprehended in a little Madison ave-
nue. hotel as being unlawfully in the
company of young lady, also from
the South Carolina city.
'tRev. Mr.. Patgett says that he has
been a Methodist preacher number
of years and that last year and year
before he was president of the South
Carolina Conference. He declares
that his record is above reproach and
that when the local authorities are
wired about him they will. release
him"
A we'll known minister OF the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, Of
Columbia, says that he does net know
of any such Rev. Mr.. Padgett. He
is not a minister Of the authorized
Methodist Church. We have no such
thing as president Of the Conferences.
He must be member of one Of the
sects that inhabit the mountain parts
Of the State

He Attempted an Assault on 8
Young Woman.
Following an attempt to assault a
young woman in Mount Croghan, a
small town near Cheraw, a negro
from North Carolina, whose name
has not been learned, is believed to
have been lynched.
The attempt at assault was COM
mitted at noon Monday, and all day
and part of Tuesday parties Of fren-
zied men searched the woods for the
criminal.
Parties Of men returning Tuesday
morning were non-committal as to
whether the negro was caught or not,
but it is thought from the bearing g
of the pursuers, that the negro was
captured and put to death in the
woods somewhere.
The victim Of the attempted as
sault is one of the most prominent
and well connected young women of
that section, and the crime stirred
up unusual excitement and anger.
Sheriff Douglass, Of Chesterfield
County. was on the scene and sought
to capture the negro, but was dn-
successful.

PEOPLE WILL DECIDE
RECIPROCITY QUESTION TO BE
VOTED ON BY THEM.
The Fate of tht New Measure De-
pends Upon Complexion of New
Parliament Soon to be Elected.

A dispatch from Ottawa, Ontario,
says the eleventh Parliament Of Can
ada passed out Of existence Saturday
and upon the political complexion a
new one, to be elected September 81,
will depend the fate of the reciproci-
ty agreement between the United
States and Canada.
Premier Lauritr decided to ask
for an immediate dissolution, at a
meeting of his cabinet Saturday af-
ternoon, and at once notified Earl
Grey the Governor General.
Practically every member has lift
the Capital and the campaign on the
reciprocity issue will be begun all
over the Dominion.
The announcement Of the disso-
luton came as a great surprist, as
few persons expected it before next
week, if at all. The new Parlia-
ment will be summoned to meet Oc-
tober II, and supply bills will be vot-
ed at once.
It is generally agreed that the two
months campaign before the country
will be vigorous, and even bitter
Reciprocity will be the sole issue,
although the conservatives in Que
bee may seek to inject the naval is
sue into the campaign.
The anti-anneXation cry has been
raised by the Conservatives in all
parts of the country. Sir WAfred
Laurier and his ministers will take
the stump and conduct platform cam
paigns in all provinces.
The Parliament just dissolved had
membership Of 1873 Liberals, 80
Conservatives and Independents,
giving the Government working
| majority of over 40. The absence OF
a closure rult, however, made t I'M
possible for the majority to force
vote against fhbuster.
Should the present Liberal GOV
ernment be returned with anything
ike a workinf majority, it will mean
that a vote can be takktn on the rec
iprocity resolution, and that the trade
agreement win go into ecect. A
/ Conservative victory at the polls
means the passage of the Leurler gov
ernment and the permanent killing
of the reciprocity pact.

GERMAN CENSUS TAKERS
PUT STRANGE QUERIES

BERLIN, January 4.-Germany has
always had worldwide reputation for
doing things thoroughly, and the thor
oughness with which she collects sta.
tistics in the quinquiennial national
census now being carried on has brought
about many a row between the census
takers and irate householders..
In answer to the doorbell the busy
fraulein is greeted with the following
posers:
Chow many years old are you if you
do not know the date of your birth ? >
7 "Are you subject to epileptic fitsf'
z" Are You blind in both eyes, deaf
dumb, insane or weak-mind ed7''
eff your children are less than q
year old how are they fed7 On the
mothers breast, by wet nurse or by
bottle9p
The extreme thoroughness with which
the census is taken warrants the as
sertion of those in charge that at the
completion of this years enumeration
the kaiser win be the proud monarch
of 65,O00,00 subjects. In fact, thu
German census taking has been reduced
to such an exact science that PROBES

HINT THAT BARRY IS
FORCED TO Retire

WASHINGTON, January 49, Rear
Admiral Edward B. Barry has been re-
lieved of his fleet command, following
his petition to congress to be retired
before his age limit.
A statement has been published that
the Thomas story forced Rear-Admiral
Barry TO seek his retirement or face
ugly charges against his moral charae-
ter. In some quarters this assertion
is held to be more or less verified by
the recommendation of Secretary of the
Navy Meyer that the petition of Barry
be granted
1t was asserted by the navy depart
ment last night that no charges have
been filed against Rear-Admiral Barry
of any kind whatever.
Rear-Admiral Barry, who was ap.
pointed to the command of the second
division of the Pacific fleet in 1909,
would have reached his regular age
limit for retirement of sixty-two years
on October 20 next.

Cold Storage Warehouses to
Give Up Ghost Of Artificial
Sky Rates. s.,a
CHICKEN, BUTTER AND EGGS
Many Commission Men Facing
Failure and Panic May
Follow.

CHICAGO, January i6.-when the
Produce Exchange opens for business
this morning it is expected that there
will be such tremendous tumbling in
prices of certain products that almost
panic win result, in which. those
overloaded with stock will suffer great
", financially.
All over the country the prices of
necessaries of life win go down with
a rush, and it is asserted that many.
commission men today face failure in
consequence, although housewives win
rejoice.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1911-01-17
Implying stOrehouses.

This sudden and unexpected change
in the present high prices of living, 40
far as certain lines of edibles are con-
cerned, is due to the employing of the
cold storage warehouses, which have
been jammed full of goods for varying
lengths of time, and must now be
cleared out before there is danger of
the goods being spoiled, fact which
started the break in holding prices.
Beginning today, hundreds of thou
sands of dozens Of eggs, millions of
pounds of butter and thousands of tons
of poultry will be thrown on the mar.
kets all over the country. 1t is prophe-
sled that there will be such drop in
prices that it will be only some of the
commission men who will be unable to
afford chicken frieassee.
Artificial Prices.
For months a desperate effort has
been made to maintain artificial prices
away above the normal, according to
supply and demand by storing immense
quantities of perishable foodstuffs, with
the result that, with the break in price
recorded last week, holders of these
products are forced to realize on their
investments at once for what they can
get.
Thus turn in the market, while it
will greatly benefit the ultimate con-
sumer, will particularly affect thousands
of retail dealers all over the country,
and especially those who have acquired
large stocks of goods, and it is certain
that the latter will make desperate
effort to at least partially hold up
prices.
Refused to Buy.
! One of the reasons given for the
crash is that so high were the prices
during the holidays that people refused
to buy, and chose other things for their
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Years dinners, thereby leaving dealers
With large stocks on hand.
The secret of high prices is out, and
other commodities viii tumble in price
in sympathy with the downward mar
