Eliminating the MiddIemen.

Southern bankers are much interested
in the movement now on foot for the
elimination Of middlemen or brokers in
the marketing of American cotton in
England. BY carrying out the sugEes-
ton. now made by prominent spinning
interests in Manchester, England, these
spinners will hereafter buy their cot
ton direct from the planters in the
South, and will arrange for shipments
directly TO Manchester through the Man
chester ship canal, instead of to Liver
pool Under the present system. which
has been in vogue for score OF years,
the spinners have been obliged to EN-
plOy two sets of brokers in Liverpool in
buying their cotton, with the result
that they have been compelled to pay
heavy profits to the middlemen. AS far
as the local banking interests are con-
cerned, they do not stand to lose any
thing by the change, as they Will be
called upon to as great an extent as
formerly to finance the exporting of the
white staple for the cotton merchants in
Memphis. St Louis, Atlanta, Savannah,
Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston. and
Houston. They are not disgruntled.
therefore, at the prospect of the elimi-
nation of the Liverpool brokers in fu-
ture exports of cotton to the principal
cotton goods center of England.

Man Found in Pee Dee Buried on
Banks of River.

The body found in the Pee Dee
river near her last week, says
the Pee Dee Advocate, has not been
identified. 1t is thought that it
is the body of a negro who was
lynched on the Chesterfield side for
attempted assault
Austin Williams, the negro ferry
man who found the body testified:
l was going across to my flat in a
canoe and struck against him about
SIX O'Clock this morning, and then
brought the body out to the bank
l do not know him. | have never
seen him before l found him in the
river this morning. | notified Dr.
Carrigan as soon as j had found
him."
DR.. j. A. Faison made the fol-
lowing statement: This is to GER
tlfy that ] viewed +he body Of
on the river near Society Hill
From the appearance and condition
OF the body he must have been dead
for a week or so. His eyes were
gone and the skin had slipped from
the flesh Oh his hands, arms and
other parts of the body. No hair
on head except few locks on back

Vanced and it is impossible TO OBJ

No excavations on hands or arms
found as skin had slipped from
same. On turning him over on face
sangulnolint fluid and a little wa
ter came from mouth and nose. He
was clutching nothing in hands and
found no sand or mud under nails
Finding no marks of external vio-
lence, my judgment is, he came to
his death by drowning He was Il
negro. Very respectfully.

The verdict of the jury was that
the unknown party came to his
death in an unknown manner.
A. l.. Miller, Fireman.
The body was buried on the bank
OF tho river near where he was
brought to land.
Was He Rapist?
There is a current report that
this was the body of the negro
who was charged with rape in
Chesterfield county about a month
ago. At the time it was reported
that a mob had pursued the ne
gro into the swamp and when they
returned they would say nothing as
to what had become cf him.

was "tarred" on Aug. 7. He went
before Judge Cover and entered a
plea of guilty. Sentence was sus-

DEATH OF TWO-HEADER PIG
wonderful Porker Was Lone
Brother of Thirteen Sisters.

w. B. Gabbard, of Puncheon
Camp, was in town this week to
advise us of the death of Henry
Vanderbilt, his two-headed pig,
says The Jackson Times.
This shoat was undoubted one of
the wonders of the age. He was
the only brother of IS sisters. had
two perfectly normal heads, a per-
fectly developed body and a neck
like lion. Each head was pro-
Vided with an ordinary size mouth,
two ears and two eyes. All four
eyes were perfect, the ears perfect
and erect, but short, while the
mouths in each head were of the
same size and he used one with as
much grace and solemnity as the
other, usually, however, eating
with one and drinking with the
other.
Mr.. Vanderbilt would soon have
been eight months old had he liv-
ed, but the world is denied it's
greatest animal wonder. Undoubt-
edly had this pig lived, Mr.. Cab
bard would have gone into the
show business.

A TRAGEDY OF THE DESERT.

way across the sandy waste came
upon the family of George McDer-
mott
McDermott and family, consisting
or his wife and five children start
ed overland several weeks ago for
Mill Valley, Utah. Becoming short
or water, it is thought they drank
from one of the numerous poison
springs on the desert. Their horse
and cow became sick and the COW
died. Then McDermott fell ill and
dled six days later.
The distracted widow and mother
then took up the reins and drove
the nearly dead horses for miles
over the desert in search of water
until she too was stricken. When
the teamsters found the family the
mother was near death and the
children, all sick, were clinging to
her. All were taken on to Mill City
and it is thought the mother will
die.
