Fell Dead in Field.

A phone message from Upper
Fort Mill late Tuesday afternoon
told of the sudden death of Will
liam Culp, a well known farmer
of that section.
Mr.. Culp had not been in good
health for several months, but
had not complained of feeling
unusually i'll on Tuesday. At the
time of his death, Mr.. Culp was
at work in the field near his
home and had just finished a
conversation with a gentleman
of this city. Heart failure was
supposed to have been the cause
of his death.
Mr.. Culp was about 60 years
of age, was twice married, and
is survived by his second wife
and number Of children.
The burial was made in New
Unity Cemetery, this city, We'd

and other corporations for seek
ing redress and declaring that if
necessary they will go into the
courts. This should not be re-
quired of them and we hope that
the commission will see its mis-
take and change it's course. Let
it begin at the right end of the
line and correct where correction
is most needed. Corporations
should be treated with just as
much equity as individuals.
They are not all soulless, as a
great many seem to think them
to be. And, even if they were,
that would be no excuse for
treating them unjustly. Green

A Negle cted Du'y.

Instead Of devoting so mucl
time to exchanging notes" with
Germany, the United States gov
ernment should busy itself in the
matter of England holding up
several shipments of dyestuffs
from Germany to this country.
Already a number of large South
ern mills have either cut hours
or shut down on account of the
dye situation, and unless relief
comes soon there will be a whole
sale closing of the textile plants,
with the result that thousands
and thousands of mill workers
will be thrown out of employ
ment. We imagine that were
President Wilson to place tenn
porary embargo on the exporta-
ton of war supplies from this
country to England. we would
have little difficulty in the future
of getting dyestuffs or other
commodities from Germany or
elsewhere.

Put Name on Package.

Names of the sender of a
package by parcel post must
hereafter be put on each pack
age. The omission of the send
er's name and address from

only to the postal service, but
to the addressee as well, and
postmasters are enjoined to COM
ply strictly with the following
requirements:
A parcel of fourth class mat
ter shall not be accepted for
mailing unless it bears the name
and address of the sender,
which should be preceded by the

of fourth class matter which
does not bear the name and
address of the sender is deposited
for mailing, and the sender is
known or can be ascertained

it shall be returned to him with
the information that his name

THURSDAY. JULY /, 1915.
One of the Editors Troubles.

How difficult a thing it is to
conduct a newspaper so as to
please everybody, received a
fresh illustration a few days ago
in the case of the Newberry Her
aid and News. In reporting the
Long murder case the Herald
and News gave a somewhat
lengthy occount, which to all in
tents and purposes was scrupu-
lously correct, and which consist
ed largely of the court stenogra-
piers notes, but 10, and behold,
when the next issue of the paper
came from the press on the front
page there appeared, in parallel
columns, letter from a friend
or relative of the dead man, pro-
testing against the unfairness or
one-sidedness of the report, and
a similar letter from somebody
on the other side protesting just
as vigorously and vehemently
against the injustice done the
man charged with the killing.
The Yorkville Enquirer, COM
menting on the case, says this,
and The Enquirer's observation
ton will be borne out by most
newspaper workers experiences:
Fair and truthful statements
rarely ever please the parties al
interest. because most people
want more than they are entitled
to. Chester Reporter.

the National Guard encampment
would assuredly be held this
summer, in accordance with the
orders already issued; that OF
tie Second regiment at Green
vile, July z to IT; that of the
First regiment at the Isle of
Palms, July 20 to 80, according
to a Columbia dispatch.
The adjutant genera! said he

general, who had said he would
honor warrants upon the State
funds drawn in accordance with
the apportionment made recently
by the military boaad. The fed

according to the adjutant gen

ThaW Always Sane.

DIR. Charles P. Bancroft, head
of the New Hampshire State
hospital for the insane and a
member of the federal COM
mission which examined Harry
K. Thaw during his sojourn in
New Hampshire, swore on the
witness stand Monday that in
his opinion Thaw not only was
sane but always had ben sane.
DR.. Bancroft !, 5tified as an ex-
pert alienisL in the jury pro-
ceedings to determine Thaw's
mental condition.
Thaw's act in killing Stanford
" hite, DR.. Bancroft said, was
not the product of systematized
delusion such as characterizes
the true paranoiac.

Wrong End of the Line.

1t seems that the tax com
mission created under an act of
the last session of the Legislature
TO work out a plan for q Just
and equitable assessment of
property for taxation has started
at the wrong end of the line.
Instead of inquiring into the
returns of properties that have
been acknowledged TO be far
below what they should have
been placed at, the commission
has devoted it's most serious at
tention to the people who are
already paying more than their
just proportion OF the taxes.
Instead of seeking to equaizc,
the effort seems to be to make
the difference in returns only
the greater and to lay on heavier
and heavier where the burdcr
should be lightened. This course
instead of making matters bette,
is making them worse and will
tend to grave complications.
We do not blame the banks

Another Squabble in Militiadom.

A report Tuesday from Colum-
bia said that Attorney General
Peoples had given an opinion in
effect that the regimental officers
of the three former regiments
S. G. n. G. cannot be mustered
out of service and that the proc
lamation of former Governor
Blease under date of January IL.
1915, mastering out and disband-
ing the National Guard of the
State, was legal,
On Jan. %, 1915, Governor
Manning issued a proclamation.
declaring the orders of former
Governor Blease illegal and void
and declared that the National
Guard was still an organization
and that the officers and men
were not affected by the procla-
nation.
Military authorities at Colum-
bia say that the opinion of
Attorney General Peoples will
have the effect of multiplying
the orders for encampments of
tie two regiments this month,
and that the matter probably
will be taken into the courts.
Should the courts hold that
the order of Governor Blease is
legal and that of Governor Man
ming illegal, then the State of
South Carolina has no militia,
organized or unorganized, think
the military authorities.

cents a bushel above yesterdays level at
which many nervous traders were selling
on vague peace rumors. The close was
strong at 214m31ac above last night. Other
net gains were: Corn, 1ssc to 1Ss@1a4c,
oats 1sa1c, provisions 2iad10c.
Foreigners bought $4,000 bushels of
cash wheat in Chicago today and from
the woment that trading began were pur-
chasing future deliveries. Wheat for spot
cash commanded the highest premium this
year over futures. Big cash export in.
terests were bidding ~ above the May

day as well as war clouds helped discour-

Corn climbed with wheat. Besides there

Liverpool was decidedly better than
due. The eablegrams state there We're
few offerings from the south. Here the
market opened points higher with
declines some ? points under local
selling in very small market, clos
ing steady at TO points better
The local feeling is pessimistic in
face of the slowly improving trade
conditions throughout the country on
the idea that the south will sell so
freely on any advance that no sus-
tanned Improvement can be maintained.
They feel that the action of the stock
market over the reduction of the div.
tdend ON steel is an indication OF the
pessimistic Wow of. the public as To
values of all commodities.
We think they are looking back a;
1914 and not forward To 1918. with its
prospect OF increasing consumption OF
| cotton in place of wool and the aeees-
| sity of raising food crops in the south,
disregarding the fact that the ten mil
lion bales sold so far by the south
must have been sold at a loss

New York. January 30.-Cotton lost
an early advance during the day but.
steadied on covering and closed at a net
gain of from to ! points
liverpool not only failed to follow
yesterdays local weakness. but closed
at an advance on some positions and the
market here opened steady at a To
point advance Private cables attrib
uted the strength abroad TO continental
hedge selling and trade interests were
moderate buyers here during the early
session. After the early squirt of cover
ing the market turned easier under a
renewal of Wall street selling, an easier
turn in the New orleans market and
selling by houses with New Orleans
connections. Active months broke to Il
pressure, but trade buying continued
ana prices rallied several points from
the lowest price before the close.
Sales OF print cloths in Fall River
fell short of expectations, being esti-
mated at only 100000 pieces, but the
figures on production showed diminish
ing curtailment. and advices otherwise
from the goods trade We're considered
encouraging.
Manchester cables report fair buying
orders from China and an occasional
demand from India, but say that bust
ness in cloths has been restricted by
the higher price views of manafactur-
ers.

SLIGHT CHANGES
FEATURED MARKET
Declines and Advances at
New Orleans in Mar
row Limits

New Orleans, January S0-Sman de-
cines and advances featured the cotton
market today Scalpers took to the short
side, as usual of late, but the market
displayed resistance of its own to selling
pressure. In the early trading short
selling was sufficient in volume to put
prices 2 to 3 points under yesterday $
close in the face of very favorable ables,
but later when the shorts bought back
their cotton they put the market up on
themselves and brought about a net adj
vance of to G points. The close was
l to points up.
The small mill taSngs shown for the
week used much .bearishi comment, but
as they seemed to be due more to cor
rections in statistics than anything else,
their influence was not lasting. The ex-
port movement remained the dominating
influence and surprise was shown by
traders generally when the statistics
available pointed to clearances for the
month of 10000 bales against 1064,00o a
year ago. Clearances this month were
the largest of any month this season and
for the first time this season the month S
exports were in excess of the exports OF
the corresponding month of last year.

opening at its minimum price. from
which IL showed no change. Folio wing
