SOCIETY APPROVES
POPULAR SHAMPOO

/ Few OF US realize how many prominent
pciety women wash their own hair" says
lac Martyr in the New York American.
'.Trhis home shampooing is not a fad but
Ns due TO the splendid results obtained by
he use of popular, duick-drying shampoo
made by dissolving teaspoonful Of can
throx in a cup Of hot water
This simple shampoo fathers freely and
cleanses perfectly, being equally good for
all shades of hair. It rtnses easily and
leaves the scalp refreshed and the hair
lustrous, soft and very fluffy. Dandrufi
and scalp irritation disappear Immediately.
The fact that the aikah in soap sham
poos has been found to cause streaky. thin
dull hair may be one of the reasons why
society women have taken so favorably &c
this splendid shampoo in order not only tc
save but beautify their hair."-Adv.

AFFECTING COTTON MILLS.
Trouble in China May Seriously In
lure Cotton Industry.

Anderson, Oct. 29.-The Chinese
revolution is having serious effect
on the cotton mill industry of the
Southern States, according to J. d.
Hammett. president of several of the
largest mills in South Carolina and a
member of the executive committee
Of the American Manufacturers AS
sociation.
In statement issued by Mr.. Ham
NETT 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 thirty mills in South Caro-
lima alone are dependent on the Chi
neSe trade.
UNLESS a speedy settlement Of the
resolution is reached" said Mr.. Ham
nett, 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 a large
trade from China, but as result Of
the revolution the demand for cloth
has been almost entirely cut off, with
a disposition in evidence to cancel
contracts that are now on the books

COTTON PICKER IN SUMTER.

Sumter, Oct. 27.-An invention
that may prove successful and, if so,
of immense service to cotton grow

Dinkins, a young man employed on
l.. ID. JenningS'S place, several miles
out from the city. The invention is
cotton picker operated on the sue
ton plan. The picker has been given
a trial and several weak points have
been found in it, but it is reported to
have cleaned approximately 90 per
cent Of the cotton out of the holls
where it went along.
The trial given the picker came
off last week, but as no patents COW
ering the invention have yet been ap-
piled for, no information as to the
workings Of the machine will be
given for publication yet. The ma
chine was worked by placing gaso-
line engine, which furnished the
power for the suction, on an ordinary
two-horse wagon, the latter being
1T was picked out of the field. The
trial took place on Mr.. Jenningss s
farm, where there are several hun
dred bales Of cotton open in the
fields, and where a machine for pick
ing cotton would prove Of immense
value.
A number of farmers Of this sec
tion have large amount of cotton in
the fields which ought to be picked
out, but as cotton pickers are very
scarce this year, it is possible that
much of the cotton will never be
gathered. Several Of these farmers
have been heard to express their anx-
iety that the picker prove a success,
as successful contrivance for pick
ing cotton would mean an immense
saving for them and would enable
them to largely dispense with negro

day afternoon. Mr.. Clomer vas
about GO years of age, and during the
past few months had suffered with
pellagra. which had affected his
mind to some extent. This dreaded
disease. coupled with the deaths Of
his wife and brother several
months ago. is probably the cause Of
his act Mr.. Cromcr shot himself
after going to his room, and there
were no cyc-witneSscs. He used a
shotgun, firing one shot. The load
passed through his left arm and en-
tered his heart, causing instant
death. While the members OF the
family are Of the opinion that his
death was a suicidal one, Coroner
Bcasley was called to hold an in
quest. This was caused By the fact
that the shot first struck MIR. Cromer
on the arm. The calling OF the coro-
ncr was made as precautiOn to de-
eide definitely what caused his death.
At late hour last night Coroner
Bcaslcy had not returned from the
scene.

Killed BY Gaflney Man.

Charlotte. n. c., Oct 29.-Because
he allowed his prejudice against au-
tomobiles to carry him to the extent
Of drawing a pistol on passing car
this evening, Sam Whittier, a wealthy
Cleveland county farmer, lost his
life. Facing the drawn weapon in
Whither's hand and believing that he
intended carrying out his threat, Lu-
cius Randall, a prominent Gaffney
IS. c. business man, shot Whittier
twice, killing him instantly.
The tragedy occurred two miles
from Shelby, in Cleveland county.
Randall, who is native of Cleve-
land, made the trip to North Caro-
lima to-day to visit relatives. On Z
public road he met Whittier in a
buggy. The latter alightcd, and
drawing his pistol, approached Ran
dall's machine and announced that
he was going to kill him.
Randall pleaded with him, but as
he continued to approach. rciterating
his threat, Randall drew his own
weapon and put two bullets in the
to the sheriff. The men were not ac-
Quainted and Whithcr's well-known
antipathy to the invasion Of the au-
tomobile is the accepted theory in ac-
counting for his actions.

Early DAYS in the West.

Salt Lake City.-Several interesting
pictures of early days in the west are
contained in a little booklet which has
just been issued by Walker Brothers
Bankers of Salt Lake City. They are
reproduced from photographs in the
collection of M. H. Walker, president
of the bank. One shows an ox-train
unloading goods in front of Walkers
Brothers in 1868, when it took six to
seven months to bring merchandise
to Salt Lake from the Missouri river.
Another shows a view looking down
Main street before the foundations of
the Mormon temple were completed.
Among the others is a picture of the
arrival of the first railroad train in
Salt Lake City, in 1870. They are
printed to show periods of develop
ment in the old bank, which is the
Oldest banking institution between the
Missouri river and the Pacific coast.

Foreign Concessions Which Are Re-
garded by the Present Rulers of
N~elghboring Republic as Monopo-
lies Will Not Be Extended
or Renewed.

Chihuahua.-Reforms Immediately
affecting millions of dollars worth of
American property in Mexico were an
nounced Thursday. Governor Abram
Gonzales declared that under the new
regime foreign concessions which
might be considered monopolies would
not be extended Or renewed, and
every legal effort would be made to
restrict foreign monopolies now exist
ing in Chihuahua, one of the richest
states in minerals and timber, which
is practically controlled by Americans,
and British and American interests.
The Americans are the largest
holders.
"All Americans who grieved at the
downfall of the Diaz administration
Will find that their grief was well
founded" said Governor Gonzales.
We do not intend to take away
the riches of any foreigner who legal
ly holds them, but we realize that un
der the Diaz system the granting of
concessions with their ruinous pay
ments of large sums of money to
Mexican politicians was a virtual SELL
ing out of Mexico.
