AFFECTING COTTON MILLS.
Trouble in China May Seriously In
jure Industry.

Anderson, Oct. 29.-The Chinese
revolution is having serious ef-
feet on the cotton mill industry OF
the Southern States, according TO
James D. Hammett, president of sew
eral of the largest mills in South
Carolina and a member Of the execu-
tive committee of the American Man
ufacturers' Association.
In a statement issued by Mr.. Ham
ment to-day, he points out that many
mills manufacture goods solely for
export to China and scores Of orders
already have been cancelled because
of the Chinese war. He estimates
that fully 80 mills in South Carolina
alone are dependent on the Chinese
trade.
''Unless a speedy settlement OF
the revolution is reached" said Mr..
Hammett, serious consequences are
feared for both the Southern manu-
facturers, who supply the trade, and
the cotton producers of the South.
This fall indications were for large
trade from China, but as a result OF
the revolution the demand for cloth
has been almost entirely cut OF,
with disposition in evidence to can
eel contracts that are now on the
books of the mills"

Wounded Buck Attacks Woman.

New York, Oct. 25.-Mrs. Eliza
beth Worth Miller, the first woman
to whom a shooting license has been
issued in Sullivan county, narrowly
escaped being killed by a wounded
buck near here to-day, says a Monti-
cello dispatch to the Herald. Mrs
Muller, who had been stalking deer
since daybreak, felled the buck, q
fine specimen, with a ball from her
rifle. Before she could repeat the
shot the animal scrambled to his feet
and charged her.
Dropping her weapon, Mrs. Muller
jumped to the protection OF a clump
of saplings just in time to escape the
sweep of the bucks antlers. The in
furiated beast charged again and
again, and Mrs. Muller's agility and
endurance were taxed to the utmost
to keep out of the way. When she
had become nearly exhausted he1
guide appeared. He fired a shot at
long range and the buck ran away.
Mrs. Muller, finds in shooting, he1
chief recreation from her work as a
lawyer, says that deer are as plenti-
full as cattle in the towns of High
land and Forestbhrg, where they
have come down from the mountains
to feed in the apple orchards and
pumpkin fields. She expressed indig-
nation at the way in which they are
being slaughtered.
tTo my mind" she said, "the kill
ing of deer with shotguns is un-
sportsmanlike and I believe that the
law should be changed to permit only
the use of the rifle. Most Of the
deer killed near here are so tame
that they could be brought to feed
out of ones hand, and most of them
are shot down without chance OF
escape.

Cotton don't seem to be priced
high enough to suit the farmers.
Most of it is banked up around their
houses in place of being put on the
market. Merchants are needing
their money to meet their accounts,
and this holding of cotton is in many
cases at the merchants expense.
They seem to think that their hav-

HER THROAT CUT.
Female Doctor Found Dead in Her
Apartment.

At Indianapolis, Ind, DR.. Helen
Knabe was found dead, her body
cut and bruised, in a bed room OF
her apartment Tuesday. The police
are satisfied she was murdered. DR..
Knabe's body was found when her
assistant, Miss Katherine McPher-
son, entered the apartment.
The body and the bed upon which
it lay were covered with blood but
no weapon was found in any of the
rooms nor was it apparent robbery
had been committed. All the win
dows were closed, though the physi-
clan, who was devoted to physical
culture, habitually slept with the
windows open.
DR.. Knabe was last seen alive by
Miss Mcpherson, to whom she had
said late Monday that she intended
spending the evening in studying
She lived and had her Office on the
ground floor of an apartment house
in a. prosperous and quiet neighbor-
hood. No persons, so far as has been
learned, heard sounds Of struggle
in DR.. Knabe's apartment Monday
night.
Augusta Knabe, the physician s
cousin, and the latter's stepfather'
Franc Kropp, told the police that
DR.. Knabe had no enemy so far as
they knew. She was S5 years of age
and graduate of the Indiana Col
lege of Medicine.
The police put aside the theory OF
suicide when they examined Dr.
Knabe's body and saw that though
the throat had been slashed, there
was no blood on the dead woman's
hands and when no knife was found
in her rooms. She was in her night
gown. ........-
Reports of DR.. Knabe's death were
not made to the police for an hour
after her body was discovered. Dr.
Knabe, though she had a wide &C
quaintance, is said not to have had
an intimate friend among the men
she knew.
Jefferson Haynes, the negro jani.
tor of the apartment house in which
DR.. Knabe lived, was taken to po'
lice headquarters to be questioned
as to his whereabouts at different
hours Monday night and whether OF
not he saw any one about the Knabe
apartment other than DR.. Knabe.
