NEGRO SHOOTS ANOTHER.
Took Offence at Being Called Fool
and Went for His Gun.


Cope, October Especial: A few
nights ago at negro frolic, one
John Summers became insulted at
Ramsey James calling him fool;
SC he stepped out and got a single
barreled gun he had carried with
him, and returned. 1t seems that
James thought he was only bluffing,
and after a few words James turned
to walk away, when Summers fired,
the whole load entering Just about
the hip joint and ranging downward.
Drs. Brabham and Cleckley were
called to the wounded man, while
Summers proceeded to- return home.
He was arrested the next day by
Magistrate D. w. Bonnet, and taken
to Jail, where he now remains await
ing the outcome OF James wound.
Summers worked for Mr.. ]. c. Hay
den and James for MIR. S. B. Cope,
So both of these genetlmen are one
cotton picker short.
School opened here On yesterday
with Miss Annie Wright as head
teacher, and the boys and girls will
soon be hard at work with their
books. The assistant teacher, whom
the board had elected, accepted pos
ition elsewhere, and did not notify
the board in time for them to get
another for the opening, but they
have succeeded in procuring MISS
Wright's sister, and she IS expeced
here today.
One of the heaviest rains of the
year fell here Sunday from II a. m.
to 1 p. m, and yesterday was much
cooler. Today is still more pleasant,
and the extreme hot spell Of the last
ten days is thing of the past.
The cotton fields are still white,
and as labor is somewhat scarce, and
all of the cotton is open at one time
it looks as if there is not much doing,
but a close observer will soon see
there is none left where the pickers
are going over now.

COMING OF THE CIRCUS.
All Should See the Parade of the
"Mighty Haag Show"

There are three great epochs in
the life of child; the coming of its
birthday, the opening of school, and
the coming of a circus or the Big
Show. The spectacular announce
ment that The Haag Mighty
Shows would be in Orangeburg has
somewhat disturbed the children's
minds Il to which was the greatest
event, the closing of the school, their
birthday, or the coming of the Mighty
Shows.
The coming Of the Haag Shows to
Orangeburg and the announcement
that they would show here on Tues
day, October II, is indeed pleasant
and satisfactory evidence that the
people of this city will once more
have the pleasure of seeing a real
Southern Circus.

President In the Right.

Now the president is criticised for
negotiating with Canada for reciproc-
ity after the country had set the seal
of disapproval upon the Republican
tariff revision. III November, he Is
told, the country transferred the task
of remedying tariff defects to the
Democratic party. Why should he have
butted in and complicated matters?
Why not have waited until the proper
time, and then have sent to the new
congress his recommendations on the
tariff subject, leaving 1t to the Demo-
cratic house to make such response as
1t might choose?
But the country did not in Novem-
ber transfer tariff revision to the Dem
ocratic party. 1t did not-maybe be-
cause it could not-put that party in
full control. It rejected the Payne law.
and registered its disapproval by elect
ing Democratic house. But 1t did not
by that act halt all tariff efforts until
the Democracy could take the initia-
tive. The president remained in office,
still charged with considering the coun-
trys welfare, and the Republicans In
control of the house, still charged with
the duty of legislating for the country
until the arrival of the adjournment
day fixed by the constitution.
The president has done neither an ir-
regular nor an unwise thing. He was
not only within his rights in working
for the Canadian pact, but In negotiat-
ing 1t has met with the approval of the
Democrats themselves. The action of
the house Is most significant. The
Democrats of that body accepted the
pact. So far from regarding it as an
interference with their commission and
intentions respecting the tariff, they
we're willing to make 1t part of their
own program.

In Favor Ct Arbitration,

Sermons have been preached in
many pulpits throughout England.
Scotland and Wales favoring the prop
osition of an absolute arbitration
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States. Many congregations
were invited to express sympathy with
the Taft-Grey proposal. In France,
Notwithstanding the fact that the re-
cent speech of the German chancel-

fact that an armed truce exists be-
TWEEN France and Germany. there is a

voring such a treaty between France
and the United States as that proposed
