Scraps ami <gatls. ? Prince Louis of Battenburg, nephew of King Edward, and rear admiral in the British navy, who has been the guest of the United States navy for the past ten days, has Just been having a big time of it in New York city. He gave an Informal reception to a delegation of newspaper reporters In the cabin of his flagship last Friday night; but he was shrewd enough to take care of himself admirably. When asked about the situation In Russia, he declined to commit himself. He said, however, that the defenses of New York were very inadequate and that the war vessels then In the harbor were sufficient to reduce me Cliy IU ruins.

The shooting of bears within the city limits has become so common of late that Chief of Police Troyer has detailed two mounted officers to patrol the city to see that his instructions against the practice are carried out to the letter, says a Duluth letter. Chief Troyer said today: "Of course at first it was something of a novelty to step out of one's door and slay a bear but now that they have invaded the city in such numbers everybody seems anxious to put one of the clumsy fellows out of business, and we must put a stop to It." Every day boys and men can be seen in the vicinity of Woodland and the State Normal school laying for a bear. Nobody has been shot, but if the practice continues the police fear that some reckless hunter may mistake a human being in tne dusk for a bear. ? The crop reporting board of the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture on last Friday gave out the following as to cotton: The estimated condition of cotton harvested and not harvested as reported on November 1, 1905, is 68.8, as compared with 71.2 on September 25, 1905. As this is the first time a condition report has been made in the month of November, no comparisons can be made with conditions figures of previous years or with a ten-year average. The following table shows the condition of the cot'.on crop by states, November 1, 1905: Texas, 68; Georgia, 73: Alabama, 69: Mississippi, 64; South Carolina, 73; Arkansas, 67; Louisiana, 55: North Carolina, 76; Indian Territory. 73; Tennessee, 76: Oklahoma, 74: Florida, 73: Missouri, 77: Virginia 77; United States. 68.8. ? Tom Johrson, mayor of Cleveland, O., alarmed at the official repor; that there have been 86 suicides in Cleveland in the last nine months, has taken steps to check the carnival of selfdestruction. He has appointed a commission whose duty It Is to atlempt to dissuade would-be suicides from taking their own lives. The commission is made up of Director of Charities Coolly, with A. Greenlud, member of the charities bureau and State Senator Elliott F. C. Howe. Every man or woman in Cleveland who is contemplating suicide is invited to write a letter to the anti-suicide commission and tell their troubles. The members of the commission will then make an effort to remove the trouble. For people despondent from non-employment the commission endeavors to obtain employment, while the needs and wants of others seeking aid are looked after. All three mert are experienced In such work, and their labors so far have proved satisfactory. ? St. Louis, Nov. 10: The Federal grand Jury convened today and returned an indictment this afternoon against United States Senator Burton of Kansas. It Is stated that certain features in the former indictment against Senator Burton, which was quashed were remedied in this new indictment. The allegations in the present indictment are the same as in the one quashed: That while a senator of the United States he accepted money from the Rialto Grain and Securities company, of St. Louis, for services rendered before the postofflce department in behalf of that company, which was being investigated by inspectors. The only difference is in the legal wording of the indictment, which is changed to avoid errors found in the former indictment by United States Judge Van Deventer. The indictment Is the third found against Burton: and should a demurrer to this be sustained, it will be impossible to reindict him for his alleged offence in connection with the RiaJto company, owing to the statute of limitations. ? New York,* Nov. 11: In the event of the court- not having made an adjudication of the mayoralty contest in the city by January 1 it is said that William Randolph Hearst has reached the decision to take the oath of office and present himself at the city hall and demand possession of the office and In that event New York will have two mayors. Hearst would consequently send a message to the board of aldermen as would McClellan, and it would be interesting to see which message would be acted upon. Doubtless both mayors would appoint the various commissioners and there would be also two mayor's courts. Applications for a recount must be made within twenty days after the election and there remains fifteen for Hearst's counsel to present affidavits of fraud and demand a recount of the so-called duplicates and protested ballots. Applications will be made at Albany today by one of Hearst's counsel to have the ballot boxes sorted in one of the armories and guarded by troops. A canvass of the votes will be made by the aldermen Tuesday, when a row is expected, as the Hearst men will demand the opening of the envelopes containing the void and protested ballots. ? Naugatuck, W. Va.. Nov. 10: A cheer for Jeff Davis, uttered by a drunken man on Reaver creek on the Kentucky side of the river today resumed In a bloody tragedy in which three men were killed and three others were wounded. There had been much drinking after the election on Tuesday. Con Estep. an old Confederate soldier, was among the men who had become intoxicated. When he yelled "Hurrah for Jeff Davis," C. Prater, a young man In the crowd told Estep to "shut up or he would kill him." Enoch Ben ly, another member of the crowd, told Estep to "hurrah for any one he pleased." Prater turned upo i B?ntly and emptied his pistol at short range, all five shots taking effect. After he had fallen Bentley shot and killed Prater. Rube Morgan, a friend of Pra'tr, who had shot Bently after the latter had fallen, fired at Tom and John Bowling, friends of Estep and then fled but he was shot and mortally wounded by the Bowlings. Bentley dlrd soon after the shooting and Morgan died two hours later. During the fight John Sadler, belonging ;o the Prater gang, was dangerously wounded. The Bowlings were both hit, but not fatally hurt. An election bet had caused hard ftelings between Estep and Prater. ? New Orleans, Nov. 10: Secretary Hester's weekly cotton s.atement, issued today, shows for the ten days of November a decrease under last year of 85,000, and a decrease under the same period year before last of 86,000. For the 71 days of the season that have elapsed the aggregate is behind the same days of last year 563,000, and ahead of the same days year before last 491,000 The amount brought into sight during the past week has bee i ?

C.: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14. I90n. Maybe the general assembly will do something about the dispensary at Its next session." Anyway, we'll see. There Is a Brlce law election In progress In Greenville county today. The general feeling Is that the result will be as It has been In the other counties. Theodore' H. Price insists that this year's cotton crop will aggregate 11,500.000 bales. Price is the foremost bear in the country, and he is advertising his claims quite extensively in the sou. hern newspapers. In a convention that included southern governors it was naturally to be expected that the state's right question would be raised even in connection with effective quarantine regulations; but it is extremely gratifying to note that the delegates who assembled at Chattanooga last week, had the good hard sense to see that no quarantine regulations that could be enforced by a state would be adequate to keep down an epidemic of yellow fever, or other similar contagious disease. The Jewish citizens of America are raising a fund for the benefit of their distressed fellow-citizens in Russia. Andrew Carnegie on Sunday contributed a check for $20,000; the Jews of Chicago have raised $15,000; over $20 000 has been subscribed in Philadelphia and something like $10,000 in Baltimore. Most of the subscriptions are coming from the Jews themselves; but contributions are flowing in quite liberally from all kinds of sympathizing people, regardless of nationality. That is a pretty come to pass over In Union where the organizers of the Union Mills have to offer a reward for books that disappeared in the course of an investigation. There is no reasonable doubt as to what may have become of those books. Some one man is more interested in their disappearance than anybody else, and that one man ought to be made to give them up. Such a situation might be reached through contempt proceedings. If some judge would order a certain mat to produce the books and keep that man in jail until the books are produced, the probability is that the books would show up before a great while. We have had a number of inquiries as to why we do not bring out the now well-known story, Ellen Campbell in book form, and we have no hesitation in saying that it is because we are afraid we could not do so except at considerable loss. That "Ellen Campbell" is a literary production of merit, is generally admitted by all well informed people who have read the story; but as great as is the literary value of this romance, it is indeed small as compared with its value in preserving the memory of the valorous deeds of daring and patriotism of the people who struggled for liberty in upper South Carolina. This story ought to be published in durable form and we sincerely hope the time will come when we can see our way clear to do the work. But that time is hardly yet arrived. There are people In this section who buy and appreciate books; but they are hardly numerous enough to give sufficient substantial unnnnniKomBrii to simh an nndertaklne as involved In the present proposition. The people of Mount Vernon, Ohio, and incidentally of the entire country, are very much shocked at the circumstances attending the death of a student of Kenyon college, named Pierson recently. The mangled remains of the young man were found strapped to the stringer of a railroad trestle. He had been crushed to death by the train. At first It was difficult to get any clue as to how the tragedy may have happened. People were suspicious but they had no facts. Such facts, hints and circumstances as have since developed, have crystallized their suspicions into a conclusion. It Is believed that the unfortunate young man was a candidate for admission into the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity: that as a part of his Initiation, he was tied to the track; that the stu1 nts who did the tying had lost ight of a certain train that was to pass in the meantime; that the train came along unawares and crushed ut the young man's life. As yet none of the members of the society have se: n proper to give the authorities any light on the tragedy; but this is the general opl .ion as to how it must have occurred. No arrests have been made in the case yet; but it is thought that public indignation will stir the authorities to try to do some.hing to unravel the mystery. MERE-MENTION.

The Floral Show?Quarterly Conference at St. John's?After the Blind Tigers. I'ornniKiiiilence of the Vorkville Knaulrer. Rock Hill, Nov. 14.?The "Floral Show," conducted by tne U. D. C., which has just closed was a very successful affair and netted the daughters a handsome sum. The main prize, for the best collection of chrysanthemums, was won by Mrs. Dan Johnston ol Charlotte, with Mrs. T. O. Flowers ol Rock Hill as second. For the best collection of roses Miss Mary White was the winner. Miss Lula Caton was awarded the prize for a fine collection of potted plants. A handsome "bride" doll which was put up at raffle and decided through the guessing of her umber was won by Miss Mary Hope Crawford, the little daughter of Dr, and Mrs. T. A. Crawford. An interesting incident in connection with the little lady's winning was that she selected 50 as her guess at the doll's number. Mr. William Mitchell bought the next guess and selected 49 giving his chance to the child. No. 49 was was the winning number which furnished some one with the paradox? that "the winner both won and lost and came withir. one of doing neither." The Judges were Mrs. A. Friedhelm and Mr. John Wood. At the regular quarterly conference of St. John's M. E. church of this city, *' worn olAPtpfl * I lit? IUUUW1U5 U1UVCIO TTVkV Stewards?J. G. Anderson, F. H. Barber, A. J.

Johnson was called to Fort Mill to be present at the funeral of his grandchild, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hammond who found a bottle of carbolic acid in the yard and drank it. Miss Edith Coburn Noyes, who is pleasantly remembered here as a member of the faculty of the State Summer school for two years, gave a reading in Friedhelm's hall Monday evening under the auspicies of the U. D. C. She is a talented elocutionist and her manner charming. The evening was one of much enjoyment. Our officials both executive and judicial are setting an example for the state in their efforts to suppress the il'egal sale of whisky. In last week's court Mayor Roddey put a fine of $100 or 30 days on the county chaingang, upon Burris Archie and Jim Garrison, after evidence showing a sale of 20 cents worth by one and 10 cents by the other. They took the days. W. B, Wilson, Jr., Esq., who conducted the defense gave notice of appeal, basing the same upon the fact that the witness Steve Burris, who had been fined $15 for drunk and disorderly, was an I iteres'ed party. Constable Jenkins also jiecured a conviction in Magistrate Becnnams court in the case of Will Baker who had liquor shipped here under the name of Andy White. The negro got the jug and was seen by the constable who was suspicious that he knew the boy to be Will Baker and not .Andy White. When the jug was taken from him, he secured witnesses who identified him as Andy White and the whisky was returned. Later on the officer found proof that things were as he suspected and he again seized the negro and had him tried for obtaining goods under false pretenses and fined $25. Miss Carrie Elliott of Winnsboro, stopped in Rock Hill on her way to B'acksburg, where she will temporarily fill a position as teacher in the High school. William, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Green Sandifer, is sick with fever at his home in Park avenue. Will Steele, who has for several years he^n employed in the freight depot here, goes to Chai loston to take work with the Southern there. THE A. R. SYNOD. Largely Attended Meeting In Due West Last Week. The 102d annual session of the As\ sociate Reformed synod met in Due West last Thursday with more than 100 regular delegates in attendance and the meetings were highly proflt, able and satisfactory. Synod was opened with prayer Thursday morning by Rev. J. S. Grier of Sharon, retiring moderator and the opening sermon was preached by Rev. S. W. Reid of Louisville, Ky. His topic wao IIIC upciavivn VI HIV ia?o w*. wv? i vice. love and sacrifice, and the sermon was an able and instructive effort. The business session was called to order by Rev. H. B. Blakely of Troy, the new moderator, who presided throughout the proceedings. There was a conference on Christian education Thursday night, presided over by Rev. J. S. Grier, and the feature o( the conference were addresses in behali of the Female college, Erskine college and the Theological seminary. Rev. D, G. Phillips of Atlanta, made a notahle address in behalf of the seminary, holding that the female college and the male college, existed only to make the ' value of the seminary the more patent, He e'aimed that a virile seminary means a virile church and a decadent seminary means a decadent church. However careful and painstaking we may be in the education of our young men at home and at college, if we send , them elsewhere to get their seminary training we lose them. Prof. William 1 Hood of Florida, spoke for Erskine college, and Rev. W. A. Miller of Tennessee delivered an able speech in behalf of Due West Female college. A memorial from the First presbyt' ry looking to the acquireme it by synod of the control and management of the Associate Reformed Presbyte1 rian, the church organ, was taken uni il< r consideration. The matter was referred to a committee, charged with the responsibility of a thorough investigation of the whole subject. There was an Indirect overture from the United Presbyterian church suggesting that the Associate Reformed church co-operate with it in its India mission: but the proposition did not seem to meet with very unanimous approval. Some of the ministers thought that the Associate Reformed church might undertake an India mission alone, and others thought it wou'd he very well to enter the field in conjunction with the United Presbyterians. while still others were doubtful about the advisability of undertak1 1- ~ ? -11 T ...o,.

The carpenter* are having their day now, especially in the Immediate vicinity of Yorkville. There has never before been such a demand for good men. The wages are good and the work is plentiful. There is less drunkenness in Yorkville than when the dispensary was here, and the situation along the roads has vastly improved. Where drunk men were formerly common on all the outgoing roads, especially on Saturday afternoons, there are now but few to be seen. Five cents a bale on a fif'.y dollar i bale of cotton Is a very small matter; but if every farmer in the south would i give up this amount to the Southern Cotton association, there is no telling , what that organization might be abte l to do to still further help the situation. ' Of course, all the farmers are not gd. lng to pay; but those who do pay wfll ! not be hurt whether others pay or not. Rev. J. S. Grier calls the attention of the reporter to the fact that in the nnKllnoflnn of the resolution introduc ed by him In the recent law and order convention looking: to the more satlsJ factory enforcement of the law against ( lh? illegal liquor traffic, one very es, sential proposition was omitted. The : resolution contemplated an amendment ; of the law, as It now stands so as to | provide some way to compel purchas; *:-s of whisky to tell from whom they p urchased. The other features of the , resolution were the chatngang for oIt fenders without the fine alternative, ; and to make buyers equally guilty witfl J sellers. > Reports from all parts of the courf' ty are to the effect that cotton picking 1 is pretty nearly over. The whole county was pretty well represented In i Yorkvllle last Saturday, and the re? porter made inquiries of quite a number of different people. Most of them i said that the amount of cotton still unpicked would not aggregate more 1 than a bale to the horse. Generally, ' the farmers are pretty close up with the ginning. One man said, "I have I picked up, ginned up and sold up.!' : But the selling has not been near as o'ose as the picking and the ginning. Up to this time, the sales probably amount to 75 per cent of the entire crop. There is no use trying to deny the fact that there has been a good deal ! of laxity In the enforcement of the laws against the sale of whisky during the past few years. The laxity has ? been especially noticeable since the ini auguration of the dispensary system, i Just what the reason was, it is difficult to say. It Is a fact, however, that enforcement of the law was left large ly to the dispensary constables. The people at large did not care much . about the matter. Where the state . sold liquor to whoever wanted to buy, ! it was difficult to see much additional practical harm that was to come out of such sales as might be made by private individuals. This, maybe, was not a right view to take of the matter; i but such a view was undoubtedly , quite general. The constables did 1 what they could to enforce the law; i but it was generally understood that they were always working under in structlons that were dictated as much ' by policy as by principle. Indeed, ' there is good reason to believe that i principle was only a secondary con, sideratlon. Under the circumstances i there was about the whole thing an , indefinable something that made the [ juror hesitate to convict a man for ! doing that which the state said it could , do with propriety; but which it was i wrong for an individual to do. But these conditions are changed now. " The people of York county have by their votes, said that nobody shall sell i liquor here. They have not seen proI per to make any discrimination what ever. There is reason to believe that i they mean what they say; but that [ will develop more clearly when they are called to pass upon specific offenses. THE COTTON ASSOCIATION. There was an emergency meeting of the presidents of the County Cotton associations in Columbia last Friday. The meeting was called by President E. D. Smith of the State association, by mail and telegraph and with but a single day's notice twenty-one county presidents were present. The special object of the meeting was to raise money for the needs of the association, and after due consideration the following was adopted: Resolved, That a collector or collectors should be appointed in each county by the county president to collect the three cents per bale assessment In addition io any further assessment that the county may specially make, and that twenty per cent of the collections oqIH catvIPPS nrnvldpH that each collector do first furnish proper proof that he has personally solicited every cotton grower in his territory. Resolved, That a committee of five of which the president of the State association shall be chairman do formulate a plan for raising revenues, along such lines as shall not be inconsistent with the resolutions already adopted; and that said committee be further empowered to formulate rules for the tl operation of the st&te organizer, It be- d< in? the sense of this body that a state tl organizer should be appointed at once, ly Resolved, That the county president w be empowered to appoint a collectorJn cl the several towns to solicit contrlbu- fc tlons from friends of the association, r< and that a commission of ten per cent ti be allowed on all moneys collected. tc President Spencer of the York Coun- ty association was among those pres- k: ent at the meeting In Columbia and ^ since his re$!irn he has issued a call s for a meeting of the county executive ir committee to be held In his office on next Friday, Nov. 17, at 11 o'clock, a. p m. He thinks the case Is an urgent c< one and hopes for a full attendance ^ of the executive committeemen. e) ? b IN THE SUPREME COURT. el The South Carolina supreme court convenes November 28.

Harry Ward, the well-known colored sexton of the Church of the Good Shepherd, Yorkvllle, was committed a to jail last Saturday night on the c charge of selling liquor. p It seems that Harry kept his whis- t' ky In a vestry room of the church, and a used Sunday school literature with t which to stop his bottles. They have It on the streets that the fellow used I the pulpit as a bar counter; but that a probably is a gratuitous suggestion. li Harry had been under suspicion for n some time, and during Saturday after- t noon Policeman Sanders got on to" the J faot that he was retailing by the drink p from a bottle he carried In his pocket. \ He had made quite a number of sales II when the policeman was apprised of t the situation, and Mr. Sanders deter- a mined to gtfve him still closer atten- d tlon. - P Later In the evening there developed point blank evidence of a sale. Po- li Ilceman Sanders got hold of the facts t In a way that could leave no room for t doubt and at the same time he learned li that Harry was making use of the r church as a store room for his liquor, li Carrying the key as sexton the arrangement was a very convenient one. f Having satisfied himself thoroughly, h Mr. Sanders conferred with Chief r Love procured a warrant from Mag- t lstrate Comer, and the two officers, s having procured a key of the church 1; from one of the church officials, made a a search of the vestry rooms, with the c result already Indicated. g p ABOUT PEOPLE.

This dry a dock Is one of the largest In the world. ? It Is five hundred feet long, one hun- n dred feet wide and fifty-six feet high, tl As it Is not difficult to imagine, the n towing of this monster to Manila Is S quite an undertaking. The route will ^ be across the Atlantic, through the s Mediterranean sea, the Suez canal, In- L dlan ocean, China sea, etc. Progress, & of course, will be very slow, and the navy department calculates that the tl trip will require some four or five months.

Electrician Barnwell Is busy mak- al Ing arrangements for the Installation m of the new lighting system, with electricity from the Catawba Power si company, and the _ arrangements in- w elude a complete reversing of the sj wires as now strung. The wires are ei larger and heavier, near the source of to the electric energy, and smaller fur- si ther out. The town wires will be sup- pi plied from a transformer at the Neely n< mill and the large wires will have to ec start from there. It is quite probable tl that users of electric light will be in ai darkness for ten days or two weeks cc while the new system Is being put in; di but that Is uncertain. Under the pres- I ent system, the town has sixteen arc lights. Under the new system, It will lti have a minimum of thirty, and the 31 number may be Increased to fifty. 44 Tho increase, however, will have to be y( I made In sets of five. The location of I pr le new lights has not been definitely IN ;termined; but the understanding is lat there will be lights at pretty near- c, all the points where they ? are now ith a number in between. The Zlon lurch, colored, has made application tr a light, and this application will 3 doubt be granted. The idea of put- er ng two or more lights in the Swamp- tj( >wn district is being considered. j ? Rev. G. W. Painter, the well- Ti nown Chinese missionary, delivered th vo Interesting and Instructive ad- le rcsses In the Presbyterian church g< unday, one In the morning and one in i the evening. There were large con- w regatlons out on both occasions. In le morning the speaker gave a com- ia rehenslve outline of Chinese political ai mdltlons, and explained the mean- ei ig and object of the Boxer uprising, m [e said this uprising was not directi against the missionaries, as has t! een held by many; but against for- rn Igners generally. It had Its origin In ti belief on the part of the Chinese c< lat the ultimate Intention of the for- u Igners is to overrun the country. In si ie evening he discussed the religious ei Ituatlon In China. He paid a glowlg tribute to the homelife of the C?hi- tl ese, and said It was undoubtedly the ti mndatlon of the Chinese civilization f? -the secret of Its long endurance. He h; fferred especially to the veneration jc f the young for the old, the obedience st f children to their parents, etc. The t< hstacles to the spread of Chris'lanity d i China are those that are naturally a j be expected when the Christian reglon comes In contact with a heathen jr ellgion. A collection was taken up sr missionary purposes Sunday night r| "d the response was very liberal. a] lev. Mr. Painter spoke to the children v f the Graded school yesterday morn- t< ig, and tonight he will deliver an 0 ddress In the Presbyterian church on Sl he condition of women In China. 0 MAKING FOR PROGRESS. ^ It Is doubtful as to whether there Is Cl neighborhood In York county that a on aVinu- mr.ro nroeress durlnor the O: last two years, or more promise for ^ he Immediate future than the section a long both sides of Fishing creek from w hree to six miles south of Yorkville. ? Up to the time when Messrs. C. C. v lughes and Glenn & Allison bought S bout two square miles of land over f> n that section there seemed to be ? lOthlng especially attractive about hat immediate section; but since then A It. R. C. Ellis of Grover, N. C., has ? iurchased a tract of 270 acres, (the q V. C. Seagale lands,) and Mr. J. A. El- V Is, also of Grover, has purchased a l| ract of 640 acres, (the London lands), nd other lands in the vicinity have tl eveloped a considerable stiffening in p rices. a , e There have been very considerable s mprovements on the Glenn & Allison tl racts and the Hughes tracts, within I he past year, both in the way of new ? touses and barns, and in improved r nethods, and the crops this year are Q arger than for years. F Last year Mr. Hughes built on his c ilace two first-class four-room tenant q louses, and because of the strong de- ' nand that developed for them, he has ^ ?een induced this year to put up four \ ix-room houses?two on his own * ands and one each on the lands of the 0 lessrs. Ellis. All three of these land 0 iwners are satisfied that the way to s et the best labor In the county is to a irovlde the best houses. Mr. R. C. Ellis expects to come down j a rom Grover within the next fev c t'eeks, as soon as his house is com- * s ileted, and settle on his farm. Mr. n f. A. Ellis expects to eventually settle n the big farm he now owns; but Is 8 iot certain as to just when he will do ? o. u Mr. Hughes had about fifty acres in ri orn this season and people who have 8 D ten it say it is as good as is to be ^ aund anywhere in the county. On Mr. o lughes' place, also there will be made J' . total of about seventy-five bales of 1 otton. ii Tho nno trraat firawhapk tn tho sec- V ion in question is the condition of the 8 reek channel. The channel Is only g, or 4 feet deep for several miles, tl ,nd because it does not carry off the e k-ater with sufficient facility the bot- _ oms are subject to serious overflow in imes of freshet. As the result much e >f the bottom land Is of but little val- & le. With the creek properly ditched tl hese lands ought to be worth some- n hlng like $100 an acre. The ditching 11 till probably be very expensive; but ? ?Ir. Hughes and others, believe that p he situation would justify the pur- tl hase of a steam shovel, and they may ventually undertake Just such an en- ^ erprlse. o ?

I3j Mr. Cheatham, who is stopping in w few York, said, among other things: {* "The most absurd piece of spite V ork ever attempted was the Issuing dl f the crop report on Friday by Mr. e' iWson, the secretary of agriculture, fr i this report he announces the 'conItion* at 68.8.

I I lattanooga Convention Expreeaee Sentiment of the South on Theee Subjects. ' 1 Representatives of fourteen southn states deliberated over the quesuns of quarantine and immigration 1 the convention at Chattanooga, enn., last week and finally decided i lat the quaran ine matter had best be I ft to the control of the national i >vernment, and that desirable white 1 migrants from whatever part of the orld will be welcome In the south. The question of states rights entered rgt ly into the discussion of the quaritlne question. Several of the gov nors, particularly Governor Vardaan of Mississippi, were concerned 1 st the control of quarantine regulaons by the Federal government Ight bring about conflicts of Jurisdlc on. ne waa an eviaem ocncvcr m jmplete state sovereignty, and was nwilling that the Federal government lould exercise any powers in his state tcept under his own supervision. The argument of those who took le opposite view was that state con ol of quarantine was a miserable tree. The facts showed that there ad been numerous deaths from yel?w fever in New Orleans before the :ate health officials could be induced > acknowledge the exlster.ee of the isease. It was the same in Pensacola nd elsewhere. The local authorities isisted that there was no yellow fever 1 their respective cities. For a time it looked as if the state Ights issue was going to overhadow everything; but John Sharp Williams poured oil on the trouble wajrs and brought about the adoption f the following, with a single dlsenting vote, that of Senator Mallory f Florida. "Whereas, the experience of recent <-ars and especially the experience of lis year, has demonstrated beyond avil that the house mosquito known s the s'egomyia fasclata, is the cause f the yellow fever epidemic and has emonstrated the futility and nuisance f many antiquated methods of quarnti ie hitherto resorted to and the rlsdom and necessity in the interest f the public health and the public usiness of uniform regulations to preent the Importation into the United tates of yellow fever and its spread rom state to state in the unfortunate vent of its Introduction; now thereare be it "Resolved, That we, delegates from Bahama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, [entucky, Louisiana, Mississippi Misouri, Maryland, North Carolina, South 'arollna, Tenenssee, Virginia and West rlrgi nia, hereby respectfully request lie senate and house of representaIves In congress assembled to enact a iw whereby coast, maritime and nalonal frontier quarantine shall be laced exclusively under the control nd jurisdiction of the United States ovcrnment and that matters of Intertate quarantine shall be placed under he control and jurisdiction of the Jnited States government, acting in o-operatlon with the several boards of eaJth. We furthermore respectfully equest that congress shall make adeluate expropriation to enforce and >erfect the objects of this memorial nd to stamp out as nearly as practlable the yellow fever carrying mosuito in Its breeding or living places in he United States aid by negotiating rrangements with the governors of Central and South America and the Vest Indies islands in places where he mosquito has its breeding places r exists in said countries. "Resolved, second, That we urge upn the legislatures of the several outhern states that they enact quarntine regulations as nearly as possiin accord with each other. We mther urge the governors of the said eve...l -tates with the object speciflally in view to call the attention of he legislatures of their respective tates to the wisdom and policy of his course." Congressman E. J. Bowers of Mlsissippi, chairman of the immigration nmmittee. nresented the reDOrt of that ommlttfe, which was adopted by the -la'nlmous vote of the convention. The esolution speaks of the limitless reources agricultural, mineral and timer lands, of the south, and states hat desirable emigration is needed in rder to develop these resources, and hat "all whl e persons who are wlllig to subscribe to our laws and who ppreciate and love the genius of our istltutlons are wanted and would be relcomed." These resolutions also ay: "We repudiate and denounce as unrue any and all rumors and slanders hat may have been circulated to the (feet that the south Is unfavorable to onest and industrious white immlrants. "Whereas, the president of the Unltd States has recommended to oonress the passage of certain changes i the present Immigration laws of his country with a view of making It tore difficult for the pauper and crimlal classes to enter this country. This ecommendatlon embraces a better ystem of immigration, both at the orts of embarkation and arrival; herefore, be It "Resolved, by this conference of repesentatlve men of the south, That we ereby endorse and approve these recmmendatlons and request all of the enators and representatives of the outhern states to aid In securing the assage of such amendments to exlstig" immigration laws as will tend to btaln the objects sought.

Members of the state dispensary onstabulary under.the lead of Chief , C. Hall, made the round of Greenille last Friday and confiscated all the weet cider to be found. The cider nas emptied Into the street. ? There Is another sensation In conectlon with the Union Cotton mills allure as the result of a discovery to tie effect that the books bearing on Ir. Duncan's future contract transactor are missing. It Is known that luncan bought contracts aggregating 8.000 bales, sufficient to last seven ears, at 11 J. These contracts were losed out at from 9.60 to 9.96.

No one dared claim a like i cord, which is as enviable as it is re. Mr. Simpson now has charge of the orphanage supported by the Associate Reformed church and is doing a useful work In her service. ? Fays a Union special of November i 12: Notice has Just been received here of the incorporation under the laws of Maine, of the Union Cotton Mills company. The capital stock is $5,000,000, of which $500,000 is common, $4,000,000 is first preferred, and $500,000, 3' cond preferred stock. The permanent officers are Robert F. Herrick, Boston, president; Francis K. Carey. Baltimore, vice president; R. Goodwin Rhett, Charleston, treasurer. The Buffalo Cotton mills was likewise incorporated, its capital being $3,500,000. Common stock $500,000; first preferred $2,500,000; second preferred $500,000. The officers are: R. Goodwyn Rhett, president; Francis K. Carey, vice president; Robert F. Herrick, treasurer. These companies are simply what are known as "holding corporations," for the benefit of the mill's creditors, and are in accordance wt h the plan recently suggested by the reorganisation committee, whose members, it will be noted, are officers of the corporations. This, however, does not affect the officers of either the Union Cotton mills or the Buffalo cotton mills, who remain in charge of the active management and operation of these big plants. ? Greenville special of Friday to the Charlotte Observer: Fletcher Byrd. convicted together with Palmer Creswell, of the murder on May 14, 1904, of Magistrate Cox, was hanged in the jail yard here in the presence of a small crowd at 11.09 o'clock this morning. Death ensued from strangulation in fourteen minutes. Fourteen hours before the execution Governor Heyward, who had previously declined interference, wired a reprieve for Cre8well until Feb. 9th. on the ground of after-discovered evidence. Byrd &'! along confessed to the killing, but exonerated Creswell from complicity. The only other witness was Constable Austin, who said that Creswell ran, but stopped some distance off and fired, hitting no one. The governor's action is generally approved, even by those who, at the time of the killing, tried to lynch both negroes. Byrd was cool and confident and implored others of his race to take warning from his example and abstain from cards and whisky. This Is the tenth execution in this county on the same scaffold. Attorneys for Creswell ask for g new trial and, falling of that, will seek commutation%to life 'mprisonment. The people of -the Simpsonville section, once frenxiedby the slaying of their neighbor, are apparently satisfied to let the law take its course. A QUE8T10N OF THAT. ' EMI'nr nt tha Vnrlrvllla Dblnnhw In Gold. Hill academy* a few day* ago, Mr: 8. E. Roney, the principal, offered a prize to any member of the English Grammar class, who could frame a sentence containing the word "that" six times consecutively. On the following morning Grover Epps presented this qentence and claimed the prize: "I think that, that that, that that that modifies, is a noun." After having the claimant parse each "that," the principal declared the sentence grammatically correct, and awarded the prise. But on declaring the sentence grammatically correct, Mr. Boney made this remark: "I believe, MT. Epps, for all that, that that that that that that, modifies is an adjective." " Who can make It eight? Fort Mill. Nov. Xt ,. Fifteen Cbnts Bats Jordan.?President Harvle Jordan of the Southern Cotton association gave out an Interview yesterday morning In which he said: "The open declaration of Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture that the recent condition report of 68.8 is 'accurate and trustworthy* a id 'which shows that the year's crop will be in the neighborhood of only 10,000,000 balfs,' should knook out all high estimates and put everybody down on the working basis of a short' crop. Secretary Wilson's estimate confirms the report made by this association some time ago, predicting a crop of about 10,000,000 bales. As this report is confirmed by accurats information from the two most reliable sources, it is unquestionable that the remainder of the crop now in the hands of the planters should not be marketed for less than 16 oehts a pound.
