l.. j. Owens Dead.

Denmark, March 25.-L. J. Owens,
for a number of years the popular
section master of the Atlantic Coast
Line railroad, died at his residence
last night at II o'clock of arterio
schlerosis. Mr.. Owens had been in i'll
health for some months, but had been
able to return to his work. However,
for the past week he had been i'll.
He came into town yesterday fore
noon to attend some business, his
physician having told him that the
end was near. He called in his ply
sician late in the afternoon, yester-
day, and, telling him that he was
conscious of the approaching end,
asked for something that would re-
lieve his breathing, which had be-
come very distressing. DR.. Mat
thews, the attending physician ad-
ministered some palliative and sat
by him till the end, which came very
peacefully. He leaves a wife and
several children

Ice Company Decision.

In an opinion rendered Thursday,
the Supreme Court holds that one cir
cult Judge has not the right to re-
view the acts of another circuit
Judge.
Judge Rice had neither power nor
authority to review, reverse or modl-
fy the decree of Judge Gary" says
the Supreme Court, "wno had passed
the same while presiding in Bamberg
county, even though he was the res
ident judge of the circuit of which
the county of Bamberg is part. He
committed an error in his attempt
to interfere with Judge Gary's de-
cree. If there was any error in the
there is, under the constitution and
laws of this State, another tribunal
for the correction of the same"
The decision was given in the case
of A. G. Middleton against the Den
mark Ice and Fuel company and the
opinion was written by Associate JUS
tice Watts. The appeal was by the
Citizens Exchange bank. The bank
filed a claim with the receivers of
the ice company for s3,765 with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per
annum and 10 per cent. OF that
amount as attorneys fees. The claim
was for money loaned and was Sc
cured by mortgage on the COM
pany's property, which provided for
the interest and the attorneys fees
claimed. The case was referred to a
master. The master made report to
the effect that the bank had first lien
after the taxes. Subsequently Judge
Gary filed his decree affirming the
masters report. No notice of appeal
from this decree was given. One OF
the receivers later secured from
Judge Rice an order modifying the
decree of Judge Gary and the case
was then appealed to the Supreme
Court.

SOON BE USING MILLION.
Day Not Far Distant Till Americans
Will Have This Number Cars.

"The day is not far distant" says
Harry R. Radford, of Pontiac, Mich,
when a million automobiles will be
in the service of American owners
1T only seems like yesterday that
the automobile was a plaything for
the frenzied few, a thing feared by
it's owner and detested by the popu-
lace. At best it possessed no more
than a spectacular interest,"
To-day, however, as you go down
the crowded city streets or tour in
the open country in any direction you
discover that the automobile has en-
tered in to the social and business
life of the country as no other one
thing has done since the world was
made.
"You observe through the open
barn door of the prosperous farm
car standing ready for the errands or
pleasure of the family.
"You see heavy truck horses only
occasionally now on the streets of
the city, the big fast moving and big
load carrying trucks having replaced
them. And the light delivery cars
speed up and down, making those
quick calls which are so necessary to
the economical delivery service of
the big mercantile houses.
besides the small suburban home
is the tidy garage which houses the
car that carries the commuter to his
work in the city.
1T has been the demand of the
common folks for useful car at
moderate cost rather than the expen-
sive tastes of the privileged class
that has so developed the automobile
in this country

Carlisle Squad Cut Down.

The Carlisle baseball squad has
been cut down from thirty to sixteen
men, and are showing up fine. So
far it has been impossible for Coach
Merchant to decide who will COM
pose the chosen nine, but they hope
to be in trim pretty soon to defend
the honors which they won last year
as state prep champions.'
They have back with them seven
of last years team, who are show
ing up stronger than ever.
The new players are proving to be
pretty good material to add to the

Secrets of the Wardrobe. :

When Winston Churchill was run
ming for the governorship of New
Hampshire his opponents became
pestiferously active, making
speeches, writing letters and distri-
buting campaign buttons, says The

friend sent this telegram to Church

Have you no buttons for your
supporters?"
The candidate was out of town
and did not get the telegram, but a
pretty girl stenographer did.
She sent this answering wire:

Sedalia, Mo-, March 29.-A race
riot here early to-day was quelled
only after the fire department was
ordered out to aid the police and
sheriff's deputy drive the combatants
to their homes. The trouble arose
at midnight between whites and ne
groes at a merry-go-round. Armed
with brick-bats and clubs, several
hundred persons battled in the down.
town district for two hours. After
several arrests were made the crowd
was dispersed. No one was serious
ly injured.

With the advent of the spring

er, one of the most frequent social
diversions of the people of Bamberg.
Next Monday is the first Monday IN
the month and salesday. Master h.
c. Folk is to sell at Denmark the
property of the Denmark Machine
Works.
The sales at the Bamberg post
Office for the month of March, just
ended, were the largest in the his
tory of the town, showing that We
are growing right along, as there is
no better way to judge the growth OF
a town than by it's postofice receipts.
The receipts of the Bamberg Post
Office for the year ending March 31st
were $500 more than year ago, that
is receipts from March 81, 1913, to
March 81. 1914, were $500 more
than from March 81, 1912, to March
81, 1918. Pretty good raise for one
year.
Messrs. H. w. Johnson, w. G..
Hoffman, and G. Moye Dickinson,
of this city, were delightfully."- enter
tanned at fish fry last Thursday
on Mr.. Joe Tenders place, near
Ehrhardt, by Messrs. w. Max Wal
ker, Phil Padgett, Ben Rentz, and
Joe Fender.
It is stated that the Southern Rail-
way will soon put a new train from
Charleston to Atlanta. If this new
service is put on, it will be quite
a convenience to people in this Sec
ton. The train going to Charleston
will pass here about six O'Clock in the
morning and arrive about ten o'clock
at night, giving much longer day
in Charleston.
The postmaster at Ehrhardt writes
us that an effort will soon be made
to get two new rural routes out from
that Office. Rural free delivery is a
great developer of any country, and
we hope the efforts of the good peo-
ple in that section will be success
full. More rural telephones and
more rural routes will keep the white
people on the farms and develop the
country.
The postmaster here has written
Congressman Byrnes and asked him
to use his best efforts to have an ex-
perimental free delivery service es-
tablished at this Office. We are not
at all sure that the department will
make the experiment at Bamberg,
as Ole town in the district already
has the service, but we are going
after it with the intention of getting
free delivery for the patrons of the
Office if it is possible to do so.
Mr.. w. C. Wolfe, of Orangeburg,
was in the city Tuesday with his en-
gineer. They were here for the pur-
pose of taking measurements and
getting blue prints showing the ter
miAals of the Bamberg-Ehrhardt
Railroad, with a view to getting to
work on terminals and connections
with the Southern Railway as early
as possible. Track laying on the
road has proceeded to a point about
four miles from town, and the rails
will be laid to Bamberg in two weeks
or less.

GIBBONS TO BOX
In BROOKLYN RING
"St. Paul Phantom Will
Face Billy Maxwell To-
night in Star Bout.

Mastery Mike Gibbons, of St Paul,
perhaps the cleverest man in the boxing
arena to-day and rated by many as the
best middleweight in the world. Will
box ten rounds with Billy Maxwell, of
Philadelphia, at the Broadway Sporting
Club, of Brooklyn, tonight. In the
same ring kid" Williams. the bantam
weight champion of the world, will
cross gloves with Young" Solsberg, of
Brooklyn. Two of the best bouts of the
season should result. Gibbons has not
boxed in this city in many months,
while Williams will make his first APP
pearance since he won the champion
ship from Johnny Coulon in Los An
Geles last summer.
To add to the festivities of the even
ing Willie Beecher, the East Side light
weight, will face Andy Williams, of
Harlem, in ten-rOund exhibition at
the New Polo Athletic Club. in Harlem,
while Cy Smith and frankie Nelson
will mingle at Browns Gymnasium.
The greatest little fighter since the
days of Terry McGovern will be seen
in action when kid" Williams enters
the ring. This blondhaired descend
ant of the Vikings wadcd through all
opponents, until finally none but Johnny
Coulon stood between him and the
championship. How he first defeated
Coulon in this city. and subsequently
won the title from him is q matter of
ring history.
Solsberg is sturdy youngstsr, one
OF the best of the local crop of bantam
weights. He has a deep rooted idea
that he is the one man able TO strip
the crown from the brow Of Williams.
He can box with some degree of skill
and is lair puncher as well.
Willie Beecher, fresh from his cam
paign on the Pacific Coast, will un-
doubtedly have his hanCs full with
Andy Williams. The latter is called
"the Tartar" for obvious reasons. Much
depends on the outcome. for the win
uer viii be matched to box Leach
Cross.
Battling Levinsky has two impor-
tant matches on his hands. He will
meet "SailOr" Fritts at the Empire A.

will face Terry Kellar at the Fair

COTTON OUTLOOK
PLEASES WILSON
President, Secretary McAdoo
and British Envoy Declare
Situation Clearing.
From The Tribune bureau.

Washington. Oct. 26.-Further as
surances that the cotton situation was
clearing were given to-day, not only by
the President but by the Secretary OF
the Treasury and the British Embassy.
The President told visitors he was
convinced that conditions in the cotton
states were improving and would con
tinue TO improve. There was now no
lack Of money for loans TO cotton pro-
ducers, he explained, but difficulty was
being encountered in fixing basis
upon which the loans were 10 be made
Exports were increasing.
Secretary McAdoO issued state
mem. saying there was no reason why
underwriters who cover marine and
war risk insurance should hesitate TO
insure cotton in neutral bottoms, so
far as Great Britain was concerned.
The British Ambassador addressed
communication TO Mr.. Lansing, Acting
Secretary Of State, confirming the as
surances received from London through
Ambassador Page and removing all
doubt as TO the intention OF the British
government not 10 regard cotton as
contraband.
The ambassador said he had asked
his government what was its view with
regard 10 cotton, and continued:
Last night | received a reply from
Sir Edward Grey. in which he author
ICES me 90 give the assurance that
cotton will not be seized. He points
out that cotton has not been put in
any Of our lists Of cOntraband, and, as
your department must be aware from
the draft proclamation now in your
possession, 1t is not proposed to in
clude il in our new list of contraband.
b.. II is therefore, as far as Great Britain
is concerned, in the. free list and will
remain there"
Secretary McAdoo announces that the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance of the
Treasury Department is writing insur-
-ance freely on cotton when carried in
American vessels.
