Committed Suicide.

Francis J. A. Riley, young white
man, committed suicide in Charles
ton last Saturday morning by drink
ing two ounces of carbolic acid, on
his way to his place of employment.
He was employed at Livingston's
shoe store and about o'clock, on his
way to the store, he stopped at Dud-
mans pharmacy, on the corner of
Cannon and Coming street and
bought the acid. At the inquest the
druggist stated that he knew Riley
and never questioned him about the
purchase, presuming that he was
buying the acid for disinfecting pur-
poses. Later the young man return
ed to the store and sat down on
bench and when Luther approached
him, he saw that Riley's mouth was
burnt and knew then to what use
the acid had been put. He poured
sweet oil down the young mans
throat and sent in hurry call for the
ambulance Riley died shortly after
reaching the Roper hospital. Riley
was IS years of age. He has acted
strangely on several occasions and al
though he seemed bright and cheer
full this morning, it is thought that he
was not mentally responsible when he
bought the acid and drank it.

Liquor Legally Purchased.

Greenville, May 20.-Magistrate
Inman to-day decided in favor of O..
K. Mauldin the claim and delivery
suit brought by him against Sheriff
j. Perry Poole for the recovery of
two barrels of liquor, which he pur-
chased here two weeks ago at a pub
lie auction ordered by Federal Judge
Henry A. M. Smith.
The decision settles, so far as the
magisterial court is concerned, the
first clash between State and federal
authorities over the recent ruling Of
Judge Smith that the government has
a right to sell intoxicating liquors
condemned by the United States
court in any locality, irrespective of
the States "wet" or dry terrific
ries.
In rendering his decision Magis-
trate Inman said:
Before alcoholic liquor can be
confscated by the State, it must be
shown that the same is contraband
and that it was obtained in an unlaw-
full manner or obtained in lawful
manner, but for unlawful purposes
1t having been shown by the testi-
mony that the sale was lawful one
and that the liquor was not pur-
chased for an unlawful purpose, I
decided for the plaintiff

Fish Fry.

Last Wednesday a very delightful
fish fry was had at New Bridge, on
the banks of the Edisto. At midday
the party went out in automobiles to
the river, and there the stew, fry and
"red-horse" bread were prepared and
served by one of the noted Edlsto
river cooks. The fresh outdoor air
and the excellence of the food gave
everyone a good appetite, and after
the dinner a vote was taken by the
men to decide which of the ladies
had done most justice to the oc-
casion. In an appropriate speech J.
A. Wyman presented the "belt' to
the lucky young lady.

BISHOPVILLE MAN A SUICIDE.
j. D. Stokes Kills Himself in Room
Over Store.

over SOOfC.
Bishopville, May 1S.-J. D.
Stokes, who conducted small fancy
and staple grocery store on Main
street here, committed suicide in a
vacant room over his store at
O'Clock this afternoon, by shooting
himself in the mouth with a 3S-cali-
bre Smith & Wesson pistol. No
cause is assigned for the deed, except
that Mr.. Stokes had been in bad
health for the past few weeks, but he
told some friends few minutes be-
fore committing suicide that he was
feeling much better.
Stokes was about forty years old
and unmarried. He came to Bishop
vile from near Lucknow several
months ago and went into the mer-
camille business with Y. H. Huntley,
on Council street, but later drew out
and opened up for himself on Main
street, and was apparently receiving
very little patronage. -.

SENATE PASSES LEVER BILL.
Provides for Reports on Cotton
Acreage and Production.


Washington, May 19.-At the in
stance of Senator Smith, Of South
Carolina, the senate has passed the
bill introduced by Representative
Lever and already passed by the
house, directing the secretary of ag-
riculture to issue on or about the
first Monday in July of each year,
report showing by States and in to-
tai, the number of acres of cotton IN
cultivation in the United States, and
to issue each year Immediately fol-
lowing the ginning report of the cen
sus bureau of December /, an esti-
mate of the total production of cotton
in the United States for the current
crop year. The measure now goes to
the president for his signature, which
will doubtless be appended, as the
secretary of agriculture has endorsed
the act.
Senator Smith has had inserted IN
the agricultural appropriation bill an
item of $4,000 for testing the ten
sile strength of cotton, according to
samples. His idea in this was the
real intrinsic value of each grade OF
cotton, according to it's spinning or
tensile strength. He interviewed
the department of agriculture and
found that they heartily agreed with
him that this should be done. There
seems to be some doubt in his mind,
and also in the minds Of some Of the
officials, as to whether there is any
practical commercial difference be-
tween certain grades of cotton which
are now from $3.50 to SO bale and
upward higher or lower, according to
the grade.
These experiments in testing the
real value of the different grades
may be of immense value to the
farmers" said Senator Smith yester-
day, and he continued by way of ex-
planation:
when the government shall have
investigated sufficiently by actual
spinning tests on their own ma
chimes, they will give to the farmers
the result of their findings.
ITO illustrate what may occur:
Suppose by actual test in the depart
ment it be found that strict low mid
ding has the same tensile strength
and spinnig value as strict middling,
and that the intermediate grades,
namely, low middling and middling,
are also of the same value, then the
only question to be considered in the
value of these four grades will be to
determine their grade. And the gov
ernment proposes to standardize the
grades.
"As a result of this if it should
occur, in place of there being diff
ference of one-qusrter to one-half
and as high as one cent or one and
half cents per pound, there will be
no difference at all. 1t may be found,
as common sense would seem to
teach, that a black rope may be as
strong and serviceable as white
rope, and the question of color has
nothing to do with it's market value" !"
In order to expedite its passage
Senator Smith yesterday had incor-
porated in the agricultural appropri-
alton bill now under consideration
in the senate, his joint resolution to
authorize the secretary of agriculture
to prepare and display an exhibit at
the fifth National Corn Exposition
to be held at Columbia, S. c., from
January 27 to February 9, 1913.
