THIS SECTION MAN LABORED
AND SAVED HIS DOLLARS

1T was up at Montreal that some
gentlemen were talking about useful
citizenship. The story was told of the
introduction of cotton into South Caro-
lima by l6-year-old girl named Eliza
beth Lucas. Of course the story of
Jerry Moore was told. and Mr.. McIyer
Williamson of Darlington, and Mr.. Da-
vid Coker of Hartsville, S. c., each
came in for his share of praise because
of the work he had done, one in the de.
velopment of corn and the other in the
development of cotton, and each were
spoken of in the highest terms.
Then Il Rock Hill man said: "There
is man who lives between Rock Hill
and Chester located there some 3O-odd
years ago as a section boss OH the rail-
road, and he still has control of that
section. He keeps his part on the rail-
road as smooth rs the floor and the
company rarely has All accident on this
section. His name is l.. NJ. Wooten
and his postotlce is Lewis Turnout
The railroad company has often offered
him better jobs at better places. but
he has always declined.
The reason why he likes this place
is because he has bought land and has
become one OF the best farmers in the
State. Lands that he bought for So. SO
or SO an acre are now worth about SlOO
an acre. He has become rich farming.
and is now worth over $500, ,000.''
He is probably the only section boss
in the United States worth over $780,
900 still holding his job with no idea of
giving it up.
Mr.. Wooten has educated his two
sons at Clemson college and has himself
become reader of books, although he
was not Originally AN educated man.
He lives IN good house, we'll fur
nlshed and has fine library. He has
wind mill To supply his house and
barn with water, and raises quantities
of live stock. He furnishes fresh lamb
and mutton to Rock Hill the year round
and to Winthrop college in season. It's
remarkable case of man making
fortune in very simple way 10y simply
attending to his business.
Zone of his sons is sort of assistant
superintendent OF the farm and looks
after the farm work together with the
operation of glnnery which he has
built. Mr.. Wooten raises % bushels
! OF corn TO the acre and bale or

that he cultivates. In the new ginnery
he has built, he has provided for the
handling of long-staple cotton with

girls under Is years of age can com
pete for prizes without having 10 com
pete against adults. The junior de-
partment will embrace the poultry
department, arts and crafts on the
part of the boys and home economies

mumty boys secretary of the Y. NJ.
G. A. work there, has agreed TO take
charge of this feature and is arousinp
much interest among the boys of not
only Rock Hill but in other parts of
the county, and the outlook is that
there will be splendid exhibits in this
department. The committee has the
work well In hand at present and the
interest Is increasing daily. Appica-
ton blanks are rapidly coming in both
from those who will have exhibits iu
the field crops and live stock depart
ments and from numbers OF the girls
canning clubs. One member of a can
ming club states that she will have sc

For the Orphans.

For several years the Orphanages of
our State have been asking the people
to join together and give the result of
one days work or the profits of one
days business to the orphan children.
Some of the institutions have set
Oct. as the date this year. though
any day will do. Many Sunday schools
now count it part of their program
to observe thus day, and their gifts
reach several thousand dollars an
nually. 1t is worthy cause, and
everybody should LEND hand and
help along.

Spartanburs Negro Acquitted.

In the face of the positive statement
of respectable white matron of high
intelligence, that he had assaulted her.
Will Fair, negro, was found not
guilty Saturday afternoon at a special
term of general sessions court of
Spartanburg county called for the trial
of the case. The jury was out 20 hours
The verdict caused no surprise and
was quietly received. A few people
not entirely familiar with the case
were reported to be E1uttering Satur-
day evening. Fair was told it might
be inadvisable for him to remain in
Spartanburg county. He thought so
himself. A position was offered him
in railroad construction camp 300
miles away and he left Spartanburg
at once.
The acquttal of Fair is a vindication
of Sheriff w. j. White, who, at the
r.sk of his life, saved the negro from
being lynched. He stood off large
mob who stormed the Jail on the night
OF Fairs arrest and went so far as 10

Will DEFEAT ED SMITH

Discussing the recent Federal ap-
polntments in South Carolina, Governor
Blease said Sunday that the appoint
ment of +. II. Weston of Richland. as
district attorney, was Ito show indi-
reotly that the administration would
favor the reelection of Senator Smith
who goes before the voters of South
Carolina in the primary next August.
This goes to prove. beyond the shadow
of doubt, what |. have been charging
from the stump all over the State.
that nobody can get anything in South
Carolina under the present administra-
ton unless they are willing to help de-
feat Blease for the Senate. even if
they have to sell their political prin-
ciple to do so, and must have the O X
OF the Cuban general. =
However, the white people of South
Carolina have never yet been driven by
national administration. nor have
they ever sold out for public pap. So.
instead OF this helping Senator Smith,
you will see that it will be very much
to his detriment. / will beat him easier
now than | would have beaten him be.

that much stronger for me, and will
add thousands OF votes to me.

EXPRESS RATES LOWER
AFTER OCTOBER 18TH

Fort Mill, in common with all other
points in the United States, will soon
benefit by the sweeping reductions in
express rates that were ordered by the
Interstate commerce commission and
which are due to become effective Oc-
tober Is. 1t will be seen that only
about three weeks are left the express
companies in which to operate under
the old schedule of rates. The changes
will become effective on the date speci-
fled, unless the commission allows the
express companies more time in which
to prepare new schedules or unless the
latter resents the order, and the ex-
press companies have already asked
for more time.
Also of interest and benefit to the
general public are the new rules and
regulations published by the Interstate
commerce commission in a recent de-
cision on the subject of express rates
and practices. 1t was upon the com
plants of a large number of of leading
commercial organizations that the COM
mission ordered the changes in the eX-
press rates.
Among the new rules and regulations
simplifying the transaction of express
business are the following:
The adoption of the block system of
stating rates.
The establishment of uniform elias
sifcation of simple character.
The publication of joint directory
of express stations, fixing the location
of every such station by block number.
The publication jointly of the pickup
and delivery limits at every station.
The adoption of new form of ex-
press receipt, the terms of which are
clear, specific and reasonable.
The adoption of rule fixing second
class rates to apply on articles of food
or drink Except where otherwise spe-
Gifted in the classification and rules) al
20 per cent. of the first-class rate with
certain additional provisions not posi-
bic of extended mention.
The adoption of rule for weighing
weights on two or more packages for
warded by one shipper at the same
time, upon one receipt of one consignee
at one local address, fixing the appli-
cation of the rate upon the actual
weight of each such article when above
20 pounds. This is in realty rate re-
duction in weight, on which the re-
duced rates in the table apply, consti-
tuting double reduction.
The adoption of rules providing for
valuation charges, c. o. ID. shipments,
returned shipments, prompt settlement
OF claims, and prompt dispensation OF
undelivered and refused shipments.
Material reductions in rates are CON
tempiased on packages weighing less
than so pounds. This, constituting the
bulk of the express traffic and under
the rule governing aggregated weights
mentioned above, should afford the re-
lief most needed by shippers.

Carolina has ever applied for or given
eXtradition of escaped lunatic or of

reply the Governor said no such case

Thaw were in this State, no papers
would be granted for his return to
New York unless locol physicians first

heroine of the story of the pendant

it was an unique honor, for never be-

Mr.. Maude travelled to Balmoral,

Margery Maude. The plan was that
Miss Maude should play Lady Teazle
