KILLED BY BUCkSHOT.
G. Pope Irby Shoots Himself, Accord
ing to Coroner.

Charleston, June 6.-Firing two
charges of buckshot into the lower
part of his body G. Pope lrby, son OF
former United States Senator j. L. NJ.
Irby, committed suicide, according to
the coroner's verdict, early yesterday
morning at his residence near Mount
Holly, in Berkeley county. Although
a gaping hole was torn in his body by
the double charge of buckshot, wit
ness alleged, he reloaded the shot
gun which he used and attempted to
fire two more loads into his body,
but both of the latter went wild. Irby
was alone in his bed room at the
time, but Lee Starnes, a neighbor,
arrived at his side before he died,
and the dying man told him that his
wounds were self-inflicted, giving no
cause for his act, however.

willie. and maybe two others will get

SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE
FOR THE LAND OF DIXIE
If Railways, Hunks nnd Merchants Pull
Together. The SOnth Cnn Get
Cream of Busincss.

Washington. June s.-Thc United
states Department of Commerce has
just issued comprehensive report on
south America rs an Export Field"
which is of special interest at this time
i'm connection with the work bciug done
10y the Southern Hallway COMPANY and
the companies associated with 1t in de-
vclopinS trade with South America by
way OF the Southern ports served by
their lines.
This report contains some Interesting
Information AS 10 the methods pur-
sued by tho Cnited Kingdom and
Germany, which are the two great
competitors OF the Cniicd States in
supplying South American markets,
and president Harrison of the south
ern hallway Company, calls attention
to the following extract from II AS
containing valuable suggestions for
southern manufacturers and NOR
chants who are Interested in the trade
opportunities of South America:
The Germans owe a great deal to
their banks, which lend active assist
tance 10 schemes Of trade promotion;
and the facility with which shipments
are financed and credits handled
through them has been noted as one OF
the greatest German assets in build
ing up their South American trade
The most important influence for cf-
fecting this result, however, has been
the thorough manner In which the
Germans have Investigated the spe-
cial features of each particular mar
ket and the pains they have taken to
see that their goods E.tcd in with
what the people desired. 1t is the cs-
tabliShcd custom for young men from
Germany. who intend to engage in the
export trade. to spend some years in
South America as n part of their com
mercial education. learning the Ian
guagc and studying the habits uf the
people. Through them Il first hand and
detailed knowledge Of the trade is ac-
Quircd, and the information gained Is
closely followed. There are also in
Germany many private and semiofii-
the furthcrance of the German export
information as 10 the kind of par
ticular articles required by the trade.
but often substitute agents TO South
America and other foreign fields who
make a study OF market conditions.
The cooperation of all German infiu-
cnces in South America toward the
one object of furthering trade has
often been remarked. and il has re-
suited in the present high commercial
position OF the country III all parts of
the continent. The promotion OF
United states trade In South America
does not necessarily depend on fol-
lowing either English or German
methods, but. as in the case of these
countries. both the investment of
American capital and the closer attcn-
ton to details on the part of Amer
lean exporters have been important
factors in the trade increase Of the
last few years"
