TRACTOR UPSETS
KILLING FARMER

Fairfax, Feb. 23.-W. f. Bessinger,
a prominent young farmer and busi-
ness man, was instantly killed in a
field half a mile from the town limits
; of Fairfax, about 10 o'clock this morn
ing by tractor.
Mr.. Bessinger was driving the trac-
tor in the field and getting into a low
soft place, the tractor sunk partly into
the earth and reared back and fell on
young Bessinger and crushed the life
out of him. 1t is supposed that when
the tractor commenced sinking young
Bessingcr applied too much gasoline
and as the machine could not go for
ward it reared back and fell on the
driver.
Mr.. Bessinger was about "a years
Old and was possessed of great encr-
gy. Although young, ne had already
accumulated a good deal of valuable
property.
The young man is survived by his
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. f. D.
Bessinger, and one brother and two
sisters, Mrs. Virginia Todd and Miss
Lucille Bessinger, all of Fairfax.

RECORD COTTON SALE

Bennettsville, Feb. 23.-McColl &
Co., cotton merchants of Bennettsville
purchased last Saturday from e. Wal
lace Evans, also of Benncttsville,
283 bales of long staple cotton, paying
hm 86 cents per pound for the entire
lot amounting to $122,258.o3. This is
the largest transaction in cotton from
standpoint of dollars and cents that
has ever been made in Marlboro coun-
ty. At the prevailing price of short
staple cotton, it would take over 800
bales of short staple cotton to bring
as much as the 283 bales of long

Appropriation Bill Received From

ed

Columbia, Feb. 23.-The Senate
| had a somewhat small attendance at
| tonight's session but with the small
| attendance the calendar was cleaned
up uncontested matters. A mass of
local measures was dispatched and for
| warded.
Lieut.. Gov. Lilies, who has been in
! disposed, was at the helm tonight and
| presided during the entire session.
Senator Christensen was present af-
ter an enforced absence of several
days and jumped right into the thick
of the work. Senator Laney who had
been called home on account of the ILL.,
ness of his mother was able to re-
turn to the Senate. He kept in touch
with the entire work of the Senate.
Senator Laney left his mother much
better.
Senator Christensen withdrew his
good roads bills, the idea being to
make way for the 1920 special COM
mittee bill.
! Petitions were presented by en-
! ployes of cotton mills objecting to the
Stone bill requiring cotton mills to
give full hour for dinner. Operatives
of the Columbia Dunck Mill wants the
matter left to the individual mills.
The Senate passed the Banks bill
which allows insurance on cotton in
State warehouses through the sinking
fund commission. The bill restricts
the insurance to $4,000 in any one
! risk.
The committee good roads bill was
made special order for tomorrow at II
O'Clock. This is the general good
roads bill
Senator Williams wanted to adj
vance his bill to give textile workers
ten days notice before requiring them
to vacate homes owned by the cotton
mills. He felt that the bill was
necessary under the recent decision
OF the Supreme Court. Common labor
ers have more right to their homes
than have textile workers, he claimed.
senator Watson asked if the effect
of the bill was not to give the on
eratlves the right of appeal to the
magistrate, then the right of appeal to
the Circuit Court and then to the Su-
preme Court or otherwise delay eject
ments for a year or more. Mr.. Will
llam,s bill also allowed jury trial.
The bill was allowed to go to the third
reading at the. request of Mr.. Will

A bill to regulate the State Hos
p1tal was recalled. The new measure

title of the State Hospital.

past twenty months. The pendulum
swung back violently-once femnin-
ity got away from war clothes-and
fashion has fairly rioted in frills, fur
bellows, bright colors. transparencies,
and costly embroideries.
Now, however. It looks as though
something were really coming in the
way of comfortable. proper, con-
venient and attractive mode of dress
for woman. 1t is called the conserva-
tive costume, because though really
quite radical-viewed from oldfash-
Toned standpoints Of propriety--it Is
perfectly conservative and in very
good taste according TO 1920 notions.
It consists of three parts: A graceful
little dolman wrap Of jacket, an eN-
tremely good looking tailored frock,
and an under garment which one
might call breeches. You need moth
ing else except a soft silk union suit.

affair. II is beautifully tailored ana

visits TO the tailor for pressing and

needed TO finish off the costume. You

into! Two snappers at the shoulder,
and three buttons at the belt fasten
the one-piece frock. The skirt VIII

pleats at the side. but you can pause
to fasten the skirt-buttons If you have
time.
The lines Of the frock are excellent
and are becoming to tall or short,
stout or lean figures. The skirt Is
short enough to walk in comfortably
and If you do not care for the rather
smart feature of trouser-cuff showing
an inch below skirt hem, you can
have the trouser-cuff shorter. A de-
lightful quality Of the frock Is It's won

are attached to each other at very
low waistllne with a piping, and a
narrow sash of the linen goes twice
around at the natural waistllne. The

TEBOUT every so often there is
IKE ak Of uniform for woman
n something sensible and prac-
y Etical; presentable yet superior TO
The whims and fancies of fashion.
Something that can be worn season
after season, as mans attire Is worn,
without the everlasting changes IN
skirt lengths, skirt widths, sleeves,
necklines, etc. that make it so hard
10 keep up with feminine styles when
one happens to be a busy, mentally
occupied person.
Thirty years ago DR.. Mary Walker
tried TO introduce a radical reform in
feminine dress, but the trousers and
frock coat Of DR.. Walker did not ap-
peal 10 her sisters and they clung 10
their pull-backs. bustles and tight cor
sets, refusing to give up these modish
frivolities for a sterner and more sem
sible type of dress About twenty
years ago the shirtwaist and skirt be-
came almost a uniform. For the busi-
ness woman, the saleswoman and
strong minded women generally a
white shirtwaist and black skirt
formed the proper and accepted cos
tune. But white waists and dark
skirts were terribly unbecoming to all
but slim. 1.-THE, long WASTED feminines

Girl was the artistic ideal. Gibson

stiff shirtwaists puffed out at the bust
and taperlng sharply to the belt and
with belts pointing sharply down into
skirt that swept the floor in bell"
folds, and with monstrous pompadours
topped by perilously balanced hats,
looked out from framed pictured in
every home.
Finally the white waist and dark
skirt grew wearisome and even the
business women and saleswomen went
back TO whole frocks, elbow sleeves
and daphanous effects. The shirt
waist began to be called a blouse,
though many people considered the
term affected at first. Then came the
war and 1t really looked as though
woman was going to adopt something
sensible and uniform in the way OF
attire, after the months Of plain, prac-
tlcal. comfortable dress. But you

tune directly after the war Not in

weather a fur Jacket may be substi-
tuted for the graceful wrap. OF course,

rather small, smart hat-a turban,
tricorne or sailor-rather than a pic
ture hat with feathers or flowers.
Pumps. oxfords with buttoned spats
or very neat buttoned boots with well
fitting cloth tops will give the proper
finish with the costume. And natur-
ally no woman who adopts this con-
servative costume will spoil its effect

ing out ahead of autumn millinery
and tailored models now. for while
women cling to summery togs all
through the warm early autumn
weeks. the crisp chill Of evening
makes a warm wrap very comfortable
and summer wraps are not ade-
quate.
The new wraps are very likable. for
they are extremely practical. Most OF
them can be worn in the street and
all women appreciate that quality in

The Arab folds his garment about
him and silently steals away Just as
he folds his tent and silently steals
away according TO the familiar line.
And the Arab burnouse that folds
about the figure in loose. graceful
drapery is the hit Of the season in
Paris. These charming wraps are
made Of soft, heavy fabrics: of satin
charmeuse richly embroidered. Of
panne velvet, of plush and particular

Gorgeous Wraps For Evening Wear
Some Of the new wraps are entirely
for evening wear and are not intended
