SCHOONER'S HOLD FULL OF FISH
Not Soul on Board-Baffiing Mys-
terry of the Sea.

New Bedford, Mass, Nov. 6.-The
faded, yellow pages of the logbooks
of the New Bedford whaling fleet
fail to record a mystery of the sea
more battling that that presented to-
day when the revenue cutter G"esh-
am towed into port the Gloucester
fishing schooner, Annie NJ. Parker,
which was picked up Monday with all
sails set, her hold filled with fish and
without a soul on board, 60 miles
east of the Nantucket lightship.
There is no trace of any of the nine
teen men composing the schooner's
crew.
In it's details the mystery recalls
the case of the Boston brig Marie
Celeste, which was found abandoned
at sea some forty years ago. The
fate of her crew never was known
to the world.
The British steamer Astrakhan
bound from New York for France,
sighted the Parker Monday drifting
with all sails set. Boarding the
schooner, officers of the steamer
found four of the dories missing. A
few burned pieces of bread was all
the food in the galley, indicating
that before leaving the crew had has
tily gathered together supply of
provisions.
The schooner was not leaking and
was in perfect condition, except for
the loss of one jib. Salt fish, valued
at about $4,000, filled the hold.
A prize crew from the Astrakhan
took charge of the Parker and turn
ed her over to the Gresham.
The Parker's owners said she sail
ed from Sydney, N. S., for her home
port October 26, after fishing trip
to the New Foundland Grand Banks.
She was in command of Capt. Vim
cent Nelson, verteran Gloucester
skipper, and was manned by a crew
of eighteen. The owners could offer
no explanation of the abandonment
of the vessel. There is a possibility
that the Parker's crew was picked
up by some sailing vessel. Had they
been taken on board a steamer the
rescue probably would have been re-
ported by wireless.

In characteristic language the gov
ernor denies the story sent out from
Washington that he has withdrawn
from the race for the United States
Senate and will ask third term as
governor.
w. G. Davern, former South At
lantic league umpire, and two of his
companions, named Schwab and
Jones, have been bound over to the
sessions court of Richland county on
the charge of forging the name OF
DR.. NJ. NJ. Rice to prescription for
cocaine. They all seem to be cocaine
fends.
The nine young men, seniors and
juniors at Wofford College, recently
suspended by the faculty for becom-
ing members of the Kappa Alpha
fraternity in violation of the rules of
the college, have left for Trinity Col
lege in North Carolina. 1t is under
stood that they will enter Trinity
with the same grading as they held
at Wofford.
1t is said in Columbia that a bill
will very probably be introduced at
the next session of the general as
sembly to abolish the state income
tax law as a result of the national
income tax law. Comptroller Gen.
eral Jones has repeatedly pointed
out in his annual reports that the
law is not being enforced because of
insdeuuate means. The tax has
amounted to only about $4,000 dur
ing the past several years.
Thomas E. Fischer, Jr., twelve
year-old boy of Charleston, was shot
and killed Monday Of this week by
his playmate, Jewel Bremen, IA years

target and the shooting was entirely
accidental. Bremen was shooting at
the target when Fischer stopped
down to pick up an empty she'll and
got in line of fire just as Bremen
fired. The bullet took effect in his
head and he lived only a short time.
A report comes from Washington
the Blease will not enter the race

run for governor again, and will run
for the Senate later, possibly against
Senator Tillman should the Senator's
life be spared to make the race again.
There are so many political rumors

Husbands Fidelity Stands Test.

Erie, Kans., Nov. 12.-The orna-
ments are on the mantel over the
fireplace, the knives and forks are in
place on the dinner table, and every
other thing in the Martin Brewer
home here is just as it was dozen
years ago, although no one has set
foot inside the house in that time.
Mrs. Brewer died II years ago.
Just leave the things the same as
if I was here,' she told her husband.
Her wish has been respected.
The top of the sewing machine is
up just as she left it when she was
taken sick. The tea kettle, pots and
pans she had set on the kitchen
stove still are there. No one has been
allowed to touch thing in the house.
After his wife's death Brewer lock-
ed the house. In all the time that
has ELAPSED since then it has not been
unlocked.
The old place possessed tender
memories for Brewer, and after the
death of his wife he used to go there
and sit on the front porch in the
evening, living over in his mind the
days that had gone by. But he never
went into the house. Everything
there was just as his wife had left 1t,
Neighbors used to suggest to
Brewer that he hire carpenters to
fix up the house and sell its effects
he could not use. Everything in it
for years has been deep covered with
dust. The floors have sagged and
broken through. The paper hangs in
strips from the wall.

place. Brewer replied. Il told man.

she left them. That's the best way
The house and its owner seemed
to slip downward with time togeth-
er. AS the building became more
dilapidated Brewer became more
frail and infirm. When he sat on
the porch on summer evenings 1t
made a harmonious picture-the
husband devoted, just as he was
when his wife died, the house just
the way she had left it.
Brewer died recently. The house
still stands locked. No one would
disturb it. The building is in what
was the best residential district of
Erie, but the city has grown away
from it. The people know its story,
however, and for the place all seem
to have a reverence The house was
owned by Brewer when he died. No
heirs have come to claim it. 1t
stands as it always did, a monument
to husbands devotion.

South Carolina Ranks Third.

With an output valued more than
s625, 100000 the cotton mill industry
in 1903 among the industries of the
United States, South Carolina rank
ed third in number of persons en-
'ployed and seventh in value OF goods
produced. These figures were COM
piled by the census bureau and made
public today.
The striking feature of the report
was the discovery that the increase
in manufacturing is much greater in
the South than in the North. The In
dustry is confined almost wholly to
states east of the Mississippi river,
there being only twenty establish
ments west of the river reported.
Massachusetts is the most impor-
tant state, North Carolina second
South Carolina third, Rhode Island
fouth, and Georgia, Pennsylvania,
New Hampshire, Connecticut and Ala
bama in the order named are next
in rank. In these three states Ala
bama, North Carolina and South Caro-
lima nearly nineteen percent of all
employees are boys, and under six
teen wears of age. In New England
states the bureau found the percent
age of women employees much greater
than in the South.

Columbia, S. c., November 1S.-
Edward Winbush, a negro, was killed
this afternoon by sheriff's posse in

about 20 years old.
Winbush had founght off his pur-
suers all night and all morning.
Bloodhounds were used to trail the
negro this morning. The negro fired
on a crowded street car when his ar

he was located by rural policemen,
but escaped after firing at the Of

GOES TO FOURTH PLACE.
Charleston Attains High Rank rs
Cotton Port.

For the first time in at least 20
years Charleston has, according to
statistics compiled up until last Fri
day, taken fourth position among
cities of the United States in the
value of cotton expectations. The
order of standing of the leading cot
ton exporting ports, according to this
compilation, is as follows: Calves
ton, Savannah, New Orleans, Charles
ton. The exports from Charleston
for the season are valued at approx
mately $12,00O,000 and are greater
than they have been at any previous
season up to this time. 1t is conser-
vatively estimated that the seasons
cotton export business from this port
viii amount to s25,000,000. This
estimate holding good, the export
season for this year is now about half
over. This is the first season in some
20 years, it is authoritatively stated,
that CharleSton'S cotton exports have
gone beyond those of Wilmington.
This ports cotton business has been
gradually increasing for the past
eight years. It will be remembered
that the cotton export business reach
ed the low water mark of 100000
in the year 1906.

PUPILS BY
LOVE, NOT ROD,
LOGAN SAYS
Associated Charities Head De-
cIares He Has Tried Whipping
Children and 1t Doesn't Work.

Joseph c. Logan, secretary of the
Associated Charities, is another who
believes that the whipping of children
in schools and homes soon will be
thing of the past. Mr.. Logan says
he has tried whipping and knows
whereof he speaks when he con-
dennis it.
Tn my opinion" he said, within
the next rs years the whipping OF
children In schools or in homes will
be regarded with the same aversion
as we now view the whipping post.
The deepest meaning of the process
of the ages is the development OF
persons freely related to each other
through knowledge, discriminating af-
lection and originative will.
81 don't see how whipping children
can have anything to do with devel-
oping knowledge, affection or right
willing
Punishment is necessary, but 1t
must be freed from the faint of re-
venge or vindictiveness. Whipping
rarely is accompanied by self-control
on the part Of the bully as the child
is most likely to regard his corrector,
and it can not be freed in the child's
mind Of revenge or vindictiveness.

About noon to-day Commissioner
Mercer was presented with hand
some silver loving cup, gift from
The various county wardens, all ap-
oointees of Mr.. Mercer. as an evil
dence of their high esteem and af-

cause of the creation of his depart
ment, and every county is thoroughly
and compactly organized for the en-
forcement Of the law and the pro-
lection of game.

Ger served without salary in the de-
partment, as the Legislature in Great

lature reimbursed him for his per-
soual expenditures.
