GREAT COTTON YEAR.
BisllOpvillc Making Record rs u
Fine Market.

Bishopville, Sept. 0.-BisEopvillc
is the premier cotton market OF this
section, as is evidenced by the amount
of cotton sold here, and the pre-
vailing prices paid. The receipts On
this market Saturday were $50 bales,
and the price paid was 1431. The
receipts on this market so far this
season have been between 5000 and
5000 bales. The price quoted is the
highest for the season, but the mar
ket has been unusually high all the
season and very little, if any, cotton
was bought here last week for less
than IA cents.
Bishopvillc will easily handle 25,-
900 to 10000 bales of cotton for the
season of 1913-1914.

Number of COnStabICs and Deputies
We're out Looking for Negro at
Time of Alleged IIOld.up.

citizen in the vicinity of the
scene where the alleged hold-up Oc-
CURED Saturday night was in town
Wednesday and his version of the af-
lair Is practilly the same as that al
ready reported in the Item. 1t seems,
however, that it was a son of Sheriff
Gamble with one of the deputies who
held up the two negroes. AT the
time there were about half a dozen
deputies in the neighborhood, which
was nearly two miles on this side Of
the county line, looking for the es-
capped convict.
The neighbOrhOOG was thrown into
q state OF intense excitement by the
affair and it is probable that there
would have been serious trouble. if
Sheriff Bradford or his deputies. who
were armed with winchesters, had
come across the supposed highway
men. The persons living in the COM
munity were kept up most Of the
night searching for the two men and
the negroes were not relieved of their
fright until communication was re-
ceived by parties in the neighborhOod
over the telephone Monday as to who
the parties were and this news was
reported to them.
The two negroes still tell the same
tale of the hold-up and the man who
alleges he was robbed, still declares
the men took three dollars and forty
two cents from him. He is consider
ing the matter Of taking out a warrant
Tor the two men, it is stated, but de-
cided not to do so. The people in
the neighbOrhOOd are rather displeas-
ed at the affair, and Sheriff Bradford
and others who went to the scene are
not any better pleased.

My Dear Sir:
Referring to yours of September
9th l beg to say that the new gaso-
line inspection law i'm this State went
into effect on the first of July, and
recently l fixed the minimum stand
ard based on residue, which is the
only proper test for gasoline. / am
frank to say to you that when the law
first went into effect and we began
thorough examination of products
offered for sale all over this STATE,
we found no gasoline, but combina-
tions of gasoline, naphtha, and low
grade oils, and material commonly
known as summer gasoline" here
tofore sold here, as it is now sold in
the State of Georgia. We are now
examining as far as it is possible ev-
cry shipment of gasoline that is made
into the State Of South Carolina, and
all shippers are required to come up
TO the standard. If you get the stand
ard required you ought to have no
trouble whatever SO far as the gasO-
line is concerned. 1t is very seldom
now that we encounter any attempt
to- ship into this State anything be-
low the standard. This department
stands ready at all times to examine
samples even in the hands of individ-
uals. There Is no State in the South,
perhaps, now, where more careful at.
tention is given to the examination Of
gasoline offered for sale on the mar
kets than South Carolina.
In this regard you should remem-
ber that gasoline engines are some
times very peculiar, and that they
do not always start up at the first
cranking. An engine with bad
magnetic or out of gear in some 9th
er regard cannot start even on the
best Of gasoline. 1 suppose l use a
motor engine as continuously and for
'as much mileage as any man in the
State, and every now and then we
have most serious trouble with the
we get to work on The engine.
Very truly yours,
+. J. Watson.
Commissioner.

fled when the shooting began, she
might be summarily dealt with. She
was captured at Port Gibson, Miss,
early tonight. IL has not been de-
cided whether To bring her here at
once.

John Prophet. a negro of Champaign,
