fist church this afternoon at 8 O'Clock
conducted by Rev. L. T. Hastings.
Burial at Rose Hill cemetery.
Noah Garfield was flagman on a
train that was under Conductor Hob
Doris, and how he came to his death
is somewhat of mystery, with the
exception that he fell between the
moving cars and his body was badly
mangled.
He is survived by wife, Mrs. Eth
ell Camfield, and two small children.
His home was on South Main street,
Just outside the corporation OF the
city of Columbia.
For more than six years he has
been in the employ of the railroad,
serving them in many capacities, and
proving capable, conscientious and
efficient man. Always ready to per-
form his duty, to the best of his abil-
ity and to the best possible advan-
tage Of his employer. He was a man
who was devoted to his family and
was popular with his associates and
the officials on the road where he was
employed.

With the closing of the services
Friday night at the First PresDyte-
rian church, the conference which
has been in session there since
Thursday ended.
This conference was only one Of
a series which is being conductor in
the South by the Presbyterian church
and was perhaps one of the most sue
cessful. The list of speakers was a
strong one and wide scope of infor-
nation regarding missions, the
church in general, was given out by
these speakers, and much benefit re-
suited.
The speakers illustrated much of
their talks with interesting charts
and figures, and those who attended
were made to understand the facts
as they actually exist.
The weather conditions were any
thing but favorable and prevented the
attendance from distance, which it
had been anticipated woLld increase
the audiences to an appreciate ex-
tent.
One of the most entertaining ad-
dresses of the sessions was that of
Dr. J. w. Paxton, on China. DR..
Paxton has thorough knowledge Of
all the conditions of the connection
between China and the United States,
and he told what he knew in schol-
arly and diplomatic way. One Of the
features of his talk was the explana-
ton of the friendliness of China to-
ward America. These reasons, he
explained, were the very vital forces
Of the efficiency of the American Mis-
sionary in the Chinese kingdom.

COTTON PRICE IN
 DOWNWARD MOVEMENT
FAVORABLE CROP REPORTS HAS TENDENCY TO SEND THE
 MARKET PRICE DOWN.

New York, May 31.-In cotton. prices have shown more tendency to recede owing Co more favorable crop reports at times. Still the weather and crop news has cut both ways. Early in the week the ginners' re- port putting the condition as high as 794 per cent when everybody has been looking for about 70 per cent, was wet blanket for the market. It sent prices down sharply Also there were some favorable reports rom Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma and parts of the eastern section of the belt. Good stands are reported in Texas and some other parts of the belt. But later on a new factor came up. It was dry hot weather over a large part of the belt The new con ditions were shrinkingly reflected in the last weekly government report Which shows that over a large tract of cotton country temperatures had been abnormally high and the rain fall was normally low. The fact that there was so little rain during the past week accounted for the rapid re- 2oYery of prices after the depression following the publication of the Ma tional Ginners' report last Monday
 Cotton ginners have not sold freely Manchester reports have not been SC buoyant as they were some time ago
 The speculation here has sagged At times well known interests with extensive southern connections have been selling rather freely Some of the spot people have sold to cer- tain extent and the same is true pt commission houses in and out of Wall street. On the other hand the late dry weather in Texas and other parts of the belt including the Atlanti5 section, has had a stimulating effect on the market The shorts have cov- cred with precipitanoy. Some of the large Wall street and spot interests have bought to some extent. Southern interests which at one time sold. have later been buying Finally the buy ing by spinners has been a noteworthy feature. It has encouraged the bulls not little
 Everybody is now awaiting the gov ernment report of June IA Today S Norden put in the report at 796 with an average reduction in the acreage of per cent.

 AT THE PRINCESS.

It takes novelty to be the success in vaudeville these days and that is why the act at the Princess theater, which is presented by Davis, Allen and Davis, is the big laugh of the season, for it's not often that one can see a verbal argument star in the audience between the actors and tho musicians, have it picked up by a man in the audience and then have those attending the show suddenly realize it was all frame up| This is feature every one should see, for it is most unique.
 The other four acts are exciting and different from each other, which gives the necessary variety to round out a good program.
