Misft Team.

Murray was pulled from a few days
strenuous work in left field to pitch
and was probably not in the best of
condition. Again Bresnahan was IN
able to play on account of his bad leg
and the erratic Hilly was shifted to
the third bag, while Blake came into
left and Boothby was sent into right
With his patched up team the defense
was necessarily weak
Hilly was unable to play steady
game at third. He played near the
bag and consequently allowed a
number of fast ones and slow ones
alike to go by. Ottumwa was hitting
that way and and shot several singles
beteen Hilly and Pennington.

While Moves was slipping along

SEED NOT so HIGH.
Price of Oil Goes Down and Seed
Follow.

Columbia, Aug. 26.-With a dis
trous year behind them, but with
hopes for better results during the
coming season, the crushers of cot
ton seed in Columbia, as well as
throughout the entire State, are al
ready beginning their work for the
1911-1912 season. Some few bales
of cotton have been ginned in this
State, and some seed is already be-
ing put on the market. Within the
next few weeks, in all probability
with the rapidly increasing quantity
of cotton ginned, the cotton seed oil
mills will be working on full time,
which means twenty-four hours a
day, for the mills run both day and
night during the 120 days which gen
orally constitute their season.
Outlook for Coming Season.
Although the manufacturers OF
cotton seed oil in Columbia, as well
as in other portions of the State,
are looking forward hopefully to the
coming season, many of them believe
that the mills will not be able to pay
much more than half what they paid
for seed last year at present prices
of the products. AS is generally
known, the season of 1910-1911 was
a most disastrous one for the manu-
facturers of cotton seed oil, and it is
estimated that many of the crushers
lost as much as $3.50 on every ton of
seed they bought and crushed.
The price at which the products OF
the mills is being sold is much lower
than it was at the beginning of last
season, in some cases the drop being
more than fifty per cent. At this rate,
according to one local manufacturer,
who weathered the storm last year,
the mills will not be able to pay more
than SIS or SIG per ton for seed,
whereas they paid last year as high
as $36 in some cases.
"When we are getting only 80
cents for oil, as against 63 cents last
year." said Mr.. R. E. Taylor, when
we are getting only $23 per ton for
meal as against $26 last year, when
hulls are selling at only $3.50 now,
when they sold last year for 1925,
and when linters are bringing only
2k cents, as against 5 cents last
year, the mills will be obliged to get
their seed cheaper in order to OPP
crate, unless the price of oil increas-

CHARGES AGAINST MAGISTRATE
A Bad State of Affairs Seems to Elk
ist in .COwards Section.

A very interesting case was heard
by Magistrate McClenaghan in the
court house this morning, but the
parties waived the preliminary and
will have the case in the sessions
court.
The charge is against Mr.. Mat
thews of the Cowards section, who is
charged with making a criminal as
sault upon a young woman in that
section. He was arrested and on his
own recognizance, was released to
come to the hearing to-day, as it was
represented to the officer who made
the arrest, Policeman Langston, that
there was little more than neighbor-
hood feeling and bitterness in the
case and that Mr.. Matthews would
certainly appear in court, as he did
In this same connection there Is
another case which seems to be OF
the same unfortunate character,
charge against Magistrate Collins fol
the same offence. Magistrate Collins
and his friends Indignantly deny the
reported crime, and they say that
they would be glad for anything that
can be brought out in the matter tc
be made public and that the public
NAV see and know how this man Il
being pursued with charges of the
sort.
At all events, what ever there Ii
in the cases will be brought out II

enger station here, nor have they
indicated when they will do so. This
is entirely in keeping with the policy
of the Southern so far as Bamberg
is concerned. The railroad never
does anything for it's patrons here
that it can avoid, and every now and
then tries to give the town authori-
ties trouble N one way or an an
other.
When the electric lights were in
stalled here some years ago the rail-
road tried to claim Railroad Avenue
and wanted the town to sign a paper
that the poles would be removed
whenever the railroad said so. But
the town authorities would not sign
the agreement and the road dropped
the matter. We understand the rail-
road stopped the town from getting
clay near its right of way, just above
town, few weeks ago, or rather at
tempted to, for we understand that
the town authorities stopped at first
and later kept on getting the clay as
heretofore.
Our citizens should grant the
Southern Railway no favors, and the
town authorities should force the
road to observe the laws as to speed
of trains through town, blocking
street crossings, etc., as we'll as keep
ing the right of way and street cross
ings in town in proper repair, for the
road never grants the town any ia
vors. Give the road fair treatment
but demand on it's part a compliance
with reasonable requirements.

Our business league should take
some action in reference to the in
surance rates for Bamberg. The
town was re-rated last year on &C
count of the protection given our
merchants by the water works, and
the new rates are not at all satisfac-
tory. In some cases rates were rails
ed instead of lowered, others were
not lowered enough, and in fact the
whole re-rateing does not appear to
be consistent. We'would suggest that
the business league take up the mat
ter with the Southeastern Tariff AS
sociation and have the town rated
again, or at least the re-rating gone
over. The rates now are not equal
lied at all.

Scarcity of Cloth Sends Prices Higher

New York, Aug. 27.-Readjust.
ment in the cotton goods markets Is
going along very slowly, but steadily
The demand for merchandise for fu.
ture delivery continues light, while
the supply is being materially re-
stricted by the very extensive curtail-
ment that is on. It is noted by mer-
chants that buyers will pay from
1-S to IA cent yard for goods
they must have above the parity in
prices current on other cloths OF
similar general construction. This
emphasizes the scarcity in many
cloths that has been brought about
by the stopping of looms in all parts
of the country.
Exporters are doing little and do
not anticipate much business until
the new year begins. Yarns con-
tinue to show the effect of pressure
for new business on the part of the
spinners whose orders are running
out.
Jobbing houses report a fair trade
but a lack of desire to anticipate be-
yond the well-deined needs of a
week or two ahead. Prints and ging-
hams are being purchased in hand
to-mouth way by jobbers. The bet
ter known brands of bleached cottons
are held steady. Denims are quiet
and steady. Tickings Of the staple
grades are sold ahead for month
or six weeks in the leading mills.

SUIT FOR LIBEL.
Citizen of North Augusta Placed I'm
der Arrest at Aiken.

Aiken, Aug. 28.-A sensation was
created in Aiken this afternoon when
J. C. Whatley, of North Augusta,
was placed under arrest, charged
with criminal libel, on a warrant
sworn out by Magistrate T. L. Hahn,
of North Augusta, before Magistrate
w. NJ. Smoak, of Aiken. Mr.. Hahn
came to Aiken this morning and
swore out the warrant and Mr.. What
ley, being in the city, he was immedi-
ately placed under custody. Bond
was granted for his appearance at a
preliminary hearing.
In his affidavit, attached to the
warrant, Mr.. Hahn alleges that said
J. C. Whatley did "unlawfully, will
fully and maliciously commit the
crime of libel by publishing of de-
famatory matter concerning the char
acter of deponent. The alleged
offense, said deponent, occurred dur
ing the months of July and August
of the present year and that Mr..
Whatley published an affidavit or in
strument of writing or communicat-
ed it to various persons with intent
to expose Mr.. Hahn to the hatred of
the people. Whatley published, it
is alleged, that deponent collected
moneys for one Jack Austin and had
failed to pay the said moneys over
to Austin; that he published other
libelous and slanderous matter alleg-
ing that deponent collected $50 from
one Andrew Anderson and had fail
ed to account for the same; that the
intent of Whatley was to show depo.
nent had fraudulently made way
with said funds, defendant knowing
same to be false at the time. That
the said publication was not in the
nature of publishing the proceedings
of the magistrates court, and not
privileged. That Whatley published
other statements to show deponen1
had robbed defendant of about $500
The affidavit of Mr.. Hahn was
made before Mr.. Smoak and alleges
that he has been damaged more thar
$10O.
Mr.. Hahn has been magistrate al
North Augusta for some time and Is
| we'll known. Mr.. Whatley has occu
pied a prominent place as a citizer
of North Augusta, and the case ha:
| created considerable comment here
and the outcome will be closely
watched.

It is all very well to arrest the
negroes who are selling liquor. The
Herald has no sympathy for any law
breaker, either white or black. But
why not arrest some of the white
people who are said to be selling
liquor? For months there has been
considerable talk around town as to
white people selling intoxicants, yet
no arrests have been made. Wheth-
er there is any truth in the reports
we do not know, and we do not
know of our own knowledge that
any white man in Bamberg is selling
liquor. But We do know that it has
been practically common talk around
town, and we want to see the law
enforced against all alike, white or
black.

REPORT is MAIN FACTOR.
Crop Figures to be Announced Fri
ilay Of This Week.

New Orleans, Aug. 27.-From the
present outlook the most important
feature to be considered during the
week in the cotton market will be the
report on condition of the crop on
August Is, which will be issued Fri
day. The fact that the report will be
followed by the triple Labor day hol-
idays leads many to believe that
much evening up will be done be-
fore the report is published.
The expectation now is that the
coming report will be anywhere from
II to 79 per cent. Even conservative
traders express the belief that a de-
terioration for last months report
of 89.1 will be forthcoming to the ex-
tent of 10 points in the condition fig
ures. The rise last week partially
discounted bullish anticipations, but
it is not likely that the movement
during the coming week will show an
advancing tendency as the result OF
the anticipated condition figures. AT
the close of the week the only thing
in evidence which could rob the con-
dition figures of their influence was
the prospect of trouble between Ger
many and France, but it will take
decided developments to make the
situation bearish factor.
The movement of new cotton will
be watched with interest by both
sides. Bears, however, can not hope
to see the movement will have much
pressure on the market until COM
mitments out of Galveston have been
filled.

. Why don't the business men OF
Bamberg get together and build a
cotton warehouse? Barnwel is
building a warehouse, and surely
Bamberg can do as much for the
progress of the community. A ware
house will be needed this winter, as
it seems to be the plan of the specu-
1ators to keep the price of cotton
down if possible. This they can do
if the crop is rushed to market.

We would like very much to see
more of the streets in town clayed,
and we suggest to city council that
teams can be had at this season of
the year on very favorable terms and
the work can be done cheaper now
than at any other time we believe.
Nothing that council can do will be
of more benefit to the town than good
streets, and we hope to see the re-
cent good work kept up.

FAIR CROP ASSURED.
Commercial.Appeal Says Deterlora'
ton Has Been Checked.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 27.-The
Commercial-Appeal's weekly cottor
review tomorrow will say:
"The decline in the condition OF
the cotton plant, which set in several
weeks ago, has been checked in the
two Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama
or has ceased altogether by reason OF
more favorable weather, rain having
fallen in the Carolinas and dry
weather supervened in the two lat
ter States. Cotton is early in the
Atlantic States, and without more
rain will open rapidly. A fair croI
is assured and q large one seems a
possibility, despite the deterioration
that has been suffered.
I'm Mississippi, Tennessee, Ar
kansas and Louisiana rainfall con-
tinued during the week, and some OF
the reports take a very gloomy view
of the outlook. The chief damage
has resulted from the shedding OF
young forms by reason of the rank
growth of the stalk and from boil
weevils in the southern part Of this
valley territory. It is evident, how
ever, that bright weather would vast
ly reduce present estimates of dam
age.
"In Oklahoma and Texas a period
of extreme heat, accompanied by a
burning sun and hot winds, caused q
quick setback to cotton, which had
but lately taken on fresh growth
from rain. The plant was being
forced to an early maturity, but rains
toward the close of the week put ar
end to the condition and hold out q
promise of better returns next week
AS most correspondents state, there
is yet time to derive benefit from the
rains.

market where any picking is being
DONE"
