Cotton Fire at Woodruff.

Woodruff, December "A fire of
unknown origin, which started in one
of the cotton warehouses of the
Woodruff Cotton Mills yesterday
morning, had when gotten under con-
troll late to-day caused loss esti-
mated between $4,000 and $4,000.
Three hundred and eighty-eight bales
of cotton have been totally destroyed,
while many more have been consider
ably damaged. A few bales are still
burning, but the flames have been
practically subdued. The warehouse
was saved and the blaze did not ex-
tend to any of the other buildings.
The fire broke out about 1 o'clock
Monday morning and continued until
this afternoon, although in the mean
time five streams of water had been
playing on it. The warehouse con-
tanned 1,400 bales of cotton. 1t is
thought that the loss is fully covered
by insurance.

SOLVES MYSTERY OF VESSEL.
Diver Finds Treasure Ship Which
Sank Near the Golden Gate.

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-What is
believed to be the wreck of the City
of Rio de Janeiro, which was sunk
inside the entrance to the Golden
Gate on the morning of February
%, 1901, with a loss of IL lives and
bullion valued at s2,0O0,000, has
been located by Herman Steiner, a
diver, who made the descent in 12S
feet of water in a patent diving de-
vice.
If Stelzner's story is carried out
by further attempts to uncover the
sandshrouded hulk, the mystery that
for more than twelve years has sur
rounded the exact location of the
steamer will have been solved. At
tempts to learn the position of the
boat have been made by divers from
time to time, but all have met with
failure.
incidentally Steiner set a new
mark for divers in his descent of
12S feet. The previous greatest
depth attained is said to be 90 feet.
With his device Steiner declares he
is enabled to resist the enormous
pressure that exists below the sur
face.
On the bottom of the bay Steiner
discerned the outlines of the wreck
ed ship. He carried no lamp with
him and made no further investiga-
tion after learning the exact where
abouts of what he believes is the
Rio de Janeiro. Information as to
the probable location of the vessel
was furnished him by a local wreck
er who once grappled for the steam
er and located a sunken vessel.
This location is half way between
Mile Rock Lighthouse and the Far
Point red buoy. In describing his
descent to-day, Stelzner said:
Il nOt1ced q curious StlllneSS Ol
the water at the potion. The tide
was ebbing fast on the surface, but
below there seemed to be the center
of an eddy which made the water
practically still. The Rio must
have been carried inward until it
reached the eddy and has remained
there ever since
Steiner has left for Japan, where
he has a contract to search for lost
vessels, but San Francisco diver,
who has bought the new diving de-
vice, will continue to seek the wreck
and the treasure it contains.

Atlanta Boys Confess.

Dalton, Ca, Dec. 1.-Stating that
their homes were in Atlanta, two
young men, giving their names as
Frank Phillips and Claud Byron, have
confessed, in their cell in Jail here,
to being two of the four burglars
who broke into the Eapnomy Depart
ment store at an early hour Saturday
morning. Sunday morning they made
a confession to Deputy Sheriff Thomp-
son, protesting, however, ignorance
as to the names of the two men who
were with them.
The two were arrested by Bailiff
Slocum, at Varnelfs, and brought
here, where Mr. Alper, manager of
the store burglarized, stated posi-
lively that the clothing they had on
and other goods found on their per-
son were some of the stolen goods.
He also identified one as man who
had on Friday night looked at a suit
of clothes and stated that he didn't
have the money then, but would be
back after them" He made good
his statement, for, with three others,
he went back at 2 o'clock Saturday
morning and on finding the door
locked, broke through the plate glass
and entered, secured the clothes and
forgot to leave the pay for them.

GRACE-WHALEY CASE NOT UP.
Committee on Elections Not Ready
for a Hearing.

Washington, Dec. although it
was thought that the Grace-Whaley
investigation would be begun here to-
day in accordance with previous
understanding in the matter, it is ap-
parent now that at least for several
days there will be few Developments
of interest. When the House COM
mittee on election No. i, of which
Congressman Post of Ohio is chair
man, adjourned sometime ago it was
understood that the first meeting to
look into the matter again would be
held to-day, but up to the present
time Mr.. Post has not returned to
Washington and in the absence of
specific information it is not known
just when the matter will be taken
up again.
When Congressman Stephens, of
Mississippi, a member of the COM
mittee, was asked for statement
to-day he said that in the absence of
Chairman Post, there was nothing he
could say. He has not heard when
Mr.. Post will return, but he said he
thought it likely that he would be
back within a short time. 1t is more
than likely that something definite
regarding the disposition of the mat
ter will be made known within the
next day or two.

HEAR CLOCK ACROSS SEA.
Radio System Brings Sounds From
Paris to Washington.

.
Washington, Nov. 23.-Three weeks
of patient experimentation culminat-
ed in success last night when the
United States naval observatory here
heard the beats of the Paris observa-
tory clock as transmitted by radio
signals from the Eiffel Tower to the
great naval radio station at Airing
ton.
The beats were compared with those
of the Washington clock for some
minutes by the method Of "coinci-
dence."
The American and French commits
sioners who are conducting these ex-
periments to determine the difference
in longitude between Paris and Wash
ington and the velocity of propaga-
ton of radio signals through space,
were greatly encouraged by their sue
cess. They to-day announced that the
season of the year when atmospheric
conditions are best for radio work
now is coming on and that their work
will proceed as planned.

from the authorities of the Federal
prison at Moundsville, w. Va, con-
veys the information that Byrd Mari

ton, died Friday and his body will
be sent here.

by being connected with the Aliens
in the Hillsville tragedy and was ar
rested with Floyd and Victor Allen
Immediately after the shooting up of
the court. He was afterwards tried
with the others, but could not be

everything tended to show that he
was a member of the clan and block
ader.
He was about 40 years old, slim
and wiry, and as fearless as any men,
Der of the clan that met a final end.
He owned a good farm 10 miles from

died three months ago, just before

DUNCAN ASKS REINSTATEMENT
Disbarred Lawyer Presents Argument
for Himself.

Columbia, December John T..
Duncan, several times candidate for
Governor of South Carolina, who was
disbarred by the Supreme Court sey-
eral years ago, filed petition with
the Court this morning asking that
he be reinstated in the profession of
law and given back his place as a
member of the Bar. He appeared in
his own behalf and argued his side
of the case. Chief Justice Gary was
disqualified from sitting in the case.
Mr.. Duncan was a candidate for
Governor last year and in 1910. 1t
is understood that he will be in the
race again next summer.
The Lexington prohibitionists ar
gued their appeal before the Supreme
Court this morning against the de-

Mr.. D. w. Robinson appeared for the
prohibitionists, while Solicitor George
Bell Temmerman and Senator w. H.
Sharpe represented the dispensary
forces. At an election in August

before the county board and before
the State board resulted in upholding
the election for the dispensary. They
to-day carried the case to the Su-
preme Court and asked that body to

The Art of Spending

An eminent editor said, "The
gospel of advertising is, Prepare
to buy"
Very true! And it is a tremend-
ously illuminating text. There are
many schools which teach the art
of making money; but none at
tempt to teach the best ways of
spending, or buying.
How you spend your dollar is
just as important as how you make
it. If you buy poor, cheap, worth
less goods with your money, it is
worse than wasted.
Watch the advertisements in
good publications; learn what is
being offered; then when you begin
to buy, you KNOW.

Ferment Caused by the
Webb Law

Washington, D. c., March Io.-At-
torney General McReynolds has told
Representative Edwin Y. Webb, of
North Carolina, that the department
of justice intends to enforce the So
called Webb-Kenyon law governing
the interstate shipment of Intoxicating
liquors intended to be used in viola
ton of the laws of any state. Mr.
Webb is the author of this law and its
purpose is to prevent such shipment Of
liquor by divesting it of its character
The law applies to shipments into wet
as we'll as into dry states.
Mr.. Webb visited the department of
justice yesterday and talked with the
attorney general. Mr.. Webb under
stands that the attorney general will
intervene in the first case that is
brought challenging the operation of
this law in any state so that when the
matter is carried forward to the SUI
preme court, in test case, the gov
eminent will be fully represented.
Such an opportunity may come with
in the next few weeks Soon after the
enactment of the Webb act liquor
dealers at Richmond, Va, instituted
court proceedings to compel an ex-
press company to accept whisky offer
ed for shipment into South Carolina.
Judge Waddell refused to grant an
order at the request of the liquor
shippers. Judge Gary, of the South
Carolina state court, in a later pro-
ceeding held, in connection with an
application for temporary restrain
ing order, that the state liquor laws
of South Carolina did not prohibit the
receipt and possession by individuals
of liquor intended for their personal
use. Under this construction of the
South Carolina law it would not be
violation of the Webb law to ship
liquor into that state when the liquor
was intended for the personal use CT
the person receiving it.
Mr.. Webb said last night that he
understood that the liquor dealers in
Richmond who instituted the original
court proceedings contemplated re-
newing their application in different
FORM and would allege that the ex-
press company refused to receive ship
ments of liquor into a state where its
use and possession were prohibited by
a state law This would squarely
raise the issue for test case. Repre-
sentative Webb was told by Attorney
General McReynolds that if this was
done the department of justice would
new suit.
