Is reported to be $88,983,350. In no one month previously have such exports ever reached the $80,000,000 mark. For the ten months of the present year, ending with October, the exports reached a grand total of $328,586,885 against $316,693,265 in the corresponding period of 1907, ihe highest record ever attained for a ilk? period. If the present ratio is maintained for November and December all previous records will be broken and the $500,000,000 dollar line will be crossed.

New York, November 21: The pas- I tor of the well-to-do Collegiate Baptist. I Church of the Covenant astonished his comfortable congregation tonight by a declaration concerning what rich men should do. "The intelligent gymnastics" said the Rev. Dr. Haywood, "of the average New York preacher when confronted with the text, 'It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven,' are pitiable 1 am perhaps the largest property holder here tonight, but I deny the right of any man to exploit the land while there are hungry stomachs to fill. I let my property to tenants for Just as little as will pay taxes and the expenses of one girl whom I am putting throuyh college. I have known but two religious men in my life. One is dead and the other is on the Bowery. He has given millions to the poor and he lives the life of a day laborer. There is stamped on the face of J. Eads How, sometimes called the mil llonalre hobo, more worldly wisaom, more salntliness than any other face I ever saw." ? By reviving a rabbit and a dog which had been previously shocked to death by electricity, says a New York dispatch, Dr. Louis * Q. Robinovltch, a young Russian woman who came here from France highly credited by European met I lea: societies, has started a movemen: which, it Is believed, will at least result in the saving of the lives of many men who have received presumably fatal electric shocks. The demonstration, which was private, was given at the room of officials of the New York Edison company, who says that each year a number of men are shocked to death in their power houses. Dr. Robinovltch first applied an electric current to a rabbit until the several doctors present declared the animal to be thoroughly dead. She then applied an electric current of fourteen volts Intermittently to both ends of the rabbit's spine. This "rhythmic excitation," in a few minutes resulted In restoring the heart beats and in twenty minutes the rabbit was bounding friskily about the room. The same result was reported in the case of the dog, only a greater voltage was employed, and It required a longer time. ? In an opinion written by Judge Walter I. Sanborn of St. Paul and concurred in by Judges Vandeventer, Hook and Adams, with a special concurring opinion by Judge Hook, the United States circuit court for the eastern district of-Missouri last Saturday handed down an opinion aeciaring me ouuiuard Oil company of New Jersey an illegal combination operating in restraint of trade and ordering Its dissolution. The opinion of the court was filed simultaneously in St. Louis and in St Paul. In this decision the government of the United States wins a sweeping victory and according to Frank G. Kellogg of St Paul, who was the government's special prosecuting oflScer, the government has won every point for which it contended. The case will be appealed direct to the United States supreme court, as the judges who signed this decree are In effect the judges of the United States circuit court of appeals, although they were sitting for the purpose of trying this case the circuit court for the eastern district of Missouri. The decree of the court dissolving the Standard Oil trust becomes effective in thirty days, when no doubt a stay will be granted for the purpose of an appeal. When the decree takes effect, unless a stay is granted, an injunction will i~sue restraining the Standard Oil company from a further continuance of its business under its present formation. It appears from the concurring opinion written by Judge Hook that the company can not do business under any form while stifling competition, for, he says, on this subject it is thought that with the end of the combination the monopoly will natunollv Hlsannonr hut should it not do so, and the members of the combination retire from it except one who might perpetuate the monopoly by the aggregation of the properties and instrumentalities, it would constitute a violation of the decree of the court. ? Of the 310 men who were entombed in the St. Paul mine at Cherry, 111., on Saturday, November 13, twenty were foa id alive last Saturday, after having been given up for dead one week. The rescuing forces had made almost superhuman efTorts to get to the buried miners; but were held back by the Are and cave-ins. During the week some thirty or forty bodies were recovered; but all of them were burned and swelled and were beyond recognition. The hundreds of neople, including women and children on the ground above have given up all hope. Having gotten through the barricades of debris and smoldering fire, in their search for dead bodies, a party of rescuers on Saturday ran upon a bunch of twenty miners, who had taken refuge in one of the galleries, and thrown up a barricade to protect themselves against further encroachments of the fire. The men were gotten to the top in safety. It developed that they were all but exhausted. They had subsisted at flrst on the remains of their lunch baskets and then upon bark, and got water that seeped through the walls of their barricade. They operated under the leadership of one of their number. and held religious services twice a day. After the rescue of these miners, it was hoped that others would be found alive; but later all hopes were abandoned. A dispatch of Sunday from Cherry, relates these pathetic incidents of the terrible Imprisonment: Letters written in their underground prison by some of the miners rescued alive yesterday came to light in various quarters today. One of the most touching was written by John Lorimer to his wife, Sadie. Lorimer is a young Scott from Ayrshire, whence he came to America ten years ago. "He just laughs and says he will go back to the mine when he is well," said his wife today, "although I'd be willing, after what has happened, to support him myself if he would only get safer work." As was the case at the home of each of the score of men rescued alive yesterday, Lorimer today received in his bedroom many callers who wished to congratulate him on his escape. Lorimer's letter follows: "Dear Wife:?I am still living, although it is now 5 o'clock Sunday morning and there is little hope as the black damp is getting the best of us. There are twenty-one of us altogether here. Dear wife, do not grieve; we will meet again. God bless you; believe in Him. He will take care of you. I guess we will meet in a better land. When you get over this let them know at home (Scotland). That is all. dear. God bless XT I * 11 " A 11 nf t hit f <i ro it'ol 1 lot tore? ? ? V4 luivntll irivcin written on pages torn from the time book carried by Mine Boss Walter Waite. Waite had the only lead pencil in the group and It was passed from hand to hand in order that all might write. One instance of the self-sacrifice of the more sturdy prisoners was related by Lorimer today: "Walczinskl, I think that was his name, was 60 years old and the weakest among us," said Lorimer. "Our greatest suffering came from thirst, for only thlmblefuls could be got from the seepage. Walczinskl grew so exhausted that he could not stoop over but had to lie on his face to drink. We made holes in the ground with our fingers and then waited for the oozing water to fill them. When water filled a small hole there was not a man but craved it madly. The stronger men frequently passed their turns to let the other men drink." Lorimer's account of the chivalry' of the stronger toward the weaker miners is disputed by Ine Antoinez. one of the rescued men. According to Antoinez, the sick man was able to get enough to drink only after a brawny miner, who believed In the survival of the fittest, had been felled with a pick handle and beaten into a sense of brotherly love. This miner, whose name Antoinez would not divulge, drew a knife to enforce his edict that the water should be reserved for those who had the best chance to survive the longest, but nearly all the able men in the sealed grallery attacked him and took away his knife. This flgst occurred about the third day of the entombment. Afterwards the probability of death for all became so strong as to unite the men in common charity. She Horkrillr (Enquirer. Kntertd at the Postofflce in Yorkville as Mail Matter of the Second Class. YORKVILLE. S. C.t TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 23.1909. TIie Columbia luncheon affair has about been threshed out, and the result has been good, In that Columbia has learned something. i At the annual meeting of the Wo- ; man's Missionary Union of the Baptist church, held in Greenwood last week, resolutions were adopted requesting the newspapers of the state to refrain from advertising offerings of intoxicating liquors for sale. ( ' * ' Dispatcites of the pa3t few days indicate that the United States government Is going to make a thorough in- j vestlgatlon of the recent killing of the two Americans in Nicaragua. From present indications it would seem that I President Zelaya is to be held to i strict account for his acta 1 1 i The negroes of South Carolina believe in compulsory education and they are practicing it Before a great many years the more intelligent whites will j wish they had done likewise. The less intelligent whites will still be as they are now. oblivious to the real slgnifi cance of the situation. J. S. Bkice, Esq., who introduced and secured the passage of the first bill that was avowedly intended to kill the state dispensary, and which bill < did inflict one mortal wound, from which mortal wound the said state dispensary did finally die, had the satisfaction of being in at the death. The last pen scratch on the report of the winding-up commission is his slgna- i ture. Since it has developed beyond ques- ( thon that the sugar trust has stolen at least thirty or forty millions of dol- j lars, probably a great deal more, from , the government and prosecution and ( exposure seem to be certain, the cry is being raised that if the proceedings ' continue the result will be a panic more . widespread than that of two years ago. | As to whether the full vindication of ( I the law in the case would produce a , panic, we do not know. Such a thing , might be possible. To us, however, it ( merely sounds like the threat of any , other kind of a thief, who feels that , i ko is o+r?/-?*"ier onnnah tr% virtl/1 vila nw.l lit IO OV*Ui>5 V liVUf,!! IU "V.v. 1<?W W?... ( against organized society. But even If it means panic, the prosecution , should go on to the limit. This government, nor no other government can permanently stand on any other foundation than decency and Justice. The good people of York and surrounding counties will do well to realize that they are close on the era of the establishment of cross-countrj trolley systems that will connect all the more important towns In the Piedmont.* We make no pretensions at prophesying and we do not think we are dreaming. We think we are merely reading the logical outcome of existing conditions?Increasing power development, greater need for quick communication and the promise of substantial returns for capital Invested in enterprises of this kind. There are a great many people who are doubtful as to the effect that such development will have on their respective busi- * nesses; but we beg leave to throw out { the suggestion that those who under- s take to stand too stubbornly in the way , will eventually find that they have done so to their own hurt. IT is not to be denied that there is cause for much gratification in the success of the dispensary winding-up commission in wresting from the liquor houses that did business with the state of South Carolina such a large aggregateof overcharges; but the situation is not yet satisfactory. As we see it. the "overcharges" collected is merely a payment to the state of amounts equal to those already paid to dishonest officials. The whisky houses had to pay graft to do business, and they added their graft on to their regular prices so as to keep from losing money. They no doubt, also Increased their profits by ' decreasing the commercial value of.' their wares by means of water and otherwise. It is not probable that the winding-up commission has done any of them any Injustice. But this does j. not touch the fellows who got the graft , ?the trusted agents of the state who, s while it was their duty to provide only pure liquors, allowed their fellow citlzens to be poisoned with all kinds of adulterated stuffs. These dishonest officials are still enjoying their ill-gotten { gains, they are still object lessons to t others of the impunity with which crime may be committed, and law, jus- . tice, decency, the eternal fitness of . things, demand that they be punished. 4 Unless they are punished, the whole t long desperate tlglit Tor right and decency will be only partially successful. 4 "A Quarterly Complaint." Elsewhere In this issue, we are re- ( producing from the Rock Hill Herald, . the official publication of the disbursements of the county board of commis- 1 .-doners of York county during the i quarter ending, September 30. This t publication by the supervisor is in compliance with an act of the legislature, 1 which recognizes the right of the tax- r payers to know what goes with their r money. The law not only requires that i the report be published: but provides i that it be paid for. In their discretion, f the county board of commissioners has si seen tit to cause the official publication f in a paper that is unable to give the i report anything like the circulation it < can g? t through The Enquirer, and s realizing that unless it is published in t The Enquirer, more than half of the t taxpayers of the county will never \ have an opportunity to see it. we are | reproducing it at our own expense, not ? Hot *? /, thinl/ /hut nnv Pnngit1?rnhln 2! number of our readers would be so e unjust as to expect us to do so under C the circumstances; but because we t desire them to have this information. < and we know of no other way by which t it can be brought to their attention.? t Yorkville Enquirer. i' The Enquirer is a little milder this quarter in its criticisms than it was last quarter. Here is what it said last quarter: "Inasmuch as no direct pay goes with li. The Enquirer desires to claim credit for placing the quarterly report of disbursements of the county supervisor before at least fifteen hundred York county families who would not otherwise have had the opportunity to see it. The Enquirer has 2,150 subscribers in all. and of these we estimate that seventeen hundred are people who take no other York county paper. The Enquirer has at least one thonsand more subscribers than any other paper in the county." The county board no doubt appreciates The Enquirer's kindness in reproducing the quarterly disbursements each quarter without cost to the county. The Herald knows the same as The Rnmilrer that its readers are entitled to the - publication of the reports and the Herald believes that if the report is published in both The Enquirer and the Herald practically every family in the county would have an opportunity to read the reports. Not quite two years ago the editor of the Herald appeared before the board when the contract for this printing: was to be awarded. The editor of The Enquirer was also present and he remembers well our statement to him and the board: that the entire county should be favored with the report and by publishing the same In The Enquirer and the Herald practically every home in the county would have the report before them. The editor of the Herald attempted to make an agreement with Mr. Grist along the above nameo lines but to no avail. He positively refused to enter into any such agreement. He wanted the whole thing and got it that year, but this year the contract was awarded to the Herald. There has been a complaint ever since and we expect when The Enquirer publishes the other report, if it publishes it, it will be accompanied by another complaint. The trouble is not with the county board. It is in the law. By right the reports should be published in every paper in the county, each paper receiving the same amount of money for Its publication.?Rock Hill Herald. The Enquirer has no complaint on Its own account: but being under the Impression that this contract Is not being awarded in accordance with the business considerations that should jovern, desires the public to understand the facte. If understanding the facts, the public is satisfied, then so are we. Three years ago v/hen called upon to make a bid, we felt then as we feel now, that the elements of competition among the possible bidders were not such as to warrant bidding on equal terms, and when we prepared our bid, it was with a view to putting on record the fact that we stood ready and willing to do anything that was in reason. uur proposition was mai wc wuuiu do the work done for $60, the amount authorized by law to be paid, or conjointly with any one or all of the papers in the county and take our pay or pro rata part of $60, divided in equal proportion to the number of papers that went into the arrangement and printed all four of the reports. The proposition did not take into consideration the only element that should determine such competitions, that of the circulation of the papers competing; but was made on the theory that The Enquirer was the only paper in the county which at that time had the facilities to put the reports in type; that the putting of the reports in type was worth about $20; that $60 divided by two or three would make the dividend look too small to be attractive to the others; that they would be forced to back out; that the board would either have to give it to The Enquirer on the right and proper gTound that that was the thing- to do, or give It to some other paper arbitrarily. The award was, as we anticipated, made to the Rock Hill Herald and the Yorkville New Era, both of which together did not have much more than half the circulation of The Enquirer, for a few dollars less than sixty dollars. The Enquirer was left out The Herald md New Era had made an arrangement, whereby they would have the reports set up on linotype machines In Charlotte, use the same type, one after the other, divide the expense and the imount received, etc. The New Era pecame defunct after printing one of :he Installments and the Herald flnlsh;d alone. The next year, the time the Herald efers to above, the conditions being :he same, The Enquirer made the same proposition, except that It stipulated :hat in case of division the sixty dol ars should be among the various palers In proportion to the circulation of ;ach. This we calculated would give The Enquirer about 540 and the HerUd about $20. The commissioners seemed just a little nervous about the natter this time and did not know exictly what to do. The editor of the Kerald was willing to agree to The inquirer's proposition, provided we vould allow him the use of our type af;er we had used it; but as that would lot only involve the reduction of the imount we would have otherwise revived, and put us in the position of 'urnishing a would-be competitor with he means of competing with us we, of :ourse declined. Our bid last spring was exactly the same as on the occasion referred to, md we heard nothing more from It, intll upon Inquiry of the secretary of he board we were advised that the iward had been made to the Rock Hill herald for $55. The Herald's suggestion that the report should be published In every paser In the county and that the board should pay the same amount to each, loes not strike us. In the first place, )ecause of the nature of this particular eport, the publication in one paper Is sufficient for all legal purposes. In the second place the advertising value of til the papers Is not the same. The same advertisement cannot even be produced In a paper of larger circula;ion at the same cost as In a paper of smaller circulation. But this aside, -ince the law provides for publication n only one paper and stipulates the unount to be paid, it strikes us that t is proper for the board to spend hat $60 where the advertisement will ro to the largest number of taxpayers n teres ted. ?

Mr. Truman Turner, of the firm of Turner & Brown, liverymen, last night, shot Whiteman Hardy, a well known negro of Yorkville, the shooting taking place in the firm's stable at about 7.30 o'clock. Hardy was shot three times. One cf the bullets took effect in the arm, another in the side, and another in the heart All three shots were fired in rapid succession and which took effect first is not known. The men were standing near the office in the front part of the stable when the shooting occurred and Hardy ran to the back part of the stable a distance of sixty or seventy feet, and died within less than a minute after the shooting. There was an inquest last night The only eye-witness was Estelle, Hardy's wife. She made a statement to the effect that she and her husband haa gone to Mr. Turner to get a team to go to the funeral of Hardy's uncle. Mr. Turner told Hardy that he could not get the team, because he owed $1.20 on an old account Hardy said if he owed anything he would go and get the money and pay It Mr. Turner ordered that the horse be hooked up and said he was going- to supper. He came back in a few minutes, and referred to the old debt again. Hardy standing close to him, said he would get the money and pay it; Turner pushed Hardy back and told him to take his breath out of his, Turner's, face; Hardy was standing with his hands in his pockets. Mr. Turner drew his pistol and commenced firing. She said that her husband had been drinking during the day, but was not drunk. Joe Benton, a stable boy, did not see the shooting, but contradicted Bstelle in the statement that Mr. Turner had ordered the horse to be hooked up. He said that Mr. Turner had told him not to hook the horse up. He was in the back part of the stable when the shooting occurred, and did not see it. He said he was too scared to know much of anything. In Hardy's pocket was found a pint bottle nearly full of whisky, and the autopsy disclosed quite a quantity of whisky in his stomach. Hontv the Son/1 no?rm la n nntn riously desperate character. He served a term on the North Carolina chaingang for killing a negro In Salisbury, some years ago, and served a term of three years on the York county chaingang for shooting a negro woman In this place. When sober he was well disposed and peaceable and in good demand as a laborer. He had been on his good behavior for quite a while previous to his death; but had been drinking heavily during Sunday and yesterday. Mr. Turner has had nothing to say about the killing. As soon as the difficulty was over, he surrendered himself to the custody of the sheriff. If the solicitor does not at once give out a bill of indictment, he will no doubt apply for a writ of habeas corpus without delay. THE CIRCUIT COURT. The fall term of the circuit court for York county, convened in Yorkville yesterday morning, the Honorable Ernest Moore of Lancaster, presiding, as special judge, In place of Judge Prince, who is incapacitated by reason of infirm health, and with one week for the sessions, and probably three weeks for common pleas business, the court Is likely to continue for at least a month. The sessions business, as usual, was entered Into the first thing1 after the opening, Solicitor Henry, representing the State, with his desk piled with a lot of formidable looking documents that suggested the prospect of record work If he should dispose of all the accumulated business within a week. Upon the call of the clerk, all of the grand jurors answered to their names as follows: J. S. Sandlfer, foreman; J. A. Barber, S. H. Bpps, J. M. Ferguson, J. W? Feemster, D. F. Jackson, J.- J. Jones, S. A. Mitchell, E. B. Price, O. S. Poe, J. W. Patrick, E N. Stephenson, J. H. Sutton, S. M. Shillinglaw, D. A. Whisonant, T. W. Speck, W. E. Feemster. D. A. Whlsonant was encused. The petit jurors were present or accounted for as follows: T. W. Jackson, S. W. Barron, W. A. McAfee, J. H. Sturgls, W. B. Glass, W. W. Alexander, Chas. Ballard, J. J. Keller, T. E. Merritt, J. B. Mills, W. T. Beamguard, R. VV. Love, J. E. Sadler, J. B. Bratton, T. H. Riddle, Geo. G. Anderson, W. B. Thomaason, W. A. Bolin, H. L. Wright, F. H. Moore, F. C. Branson, J. H. Bailes, J. R. Lindsay, W. L. C&ldwell, J. A. Robbins, J. P. Adams, J. D. Broadnax, John B. Sloan, W. E Whites.des, J. L. McGill, S. C. Pursley, G. W. Knox, J. B. Plaxco, Geo. A. McCarter, E. M. Walker. Of these, for various sufficient reasons, his honor, excused the following: W. H. Sturgls, J. J. Keller, J. E. Sadler, J. D. Broadnax, John B. Sloan, J. B. Plaxco, J. P. Adams. F. H. Moore. The following petit Jurors were drawn from the five-mile box to fill the vacancies on the foregoing panel: M. C. Willis, Sr., w. H. Hernaon, J. ; C. Clinton, Jas. A. Carroll, J. L. Feem- , ster, M. L. Feemster, G. A. Wilkerson, ] I. W. Johnson, C. C. Stewart and R. j E. Owln. Mr. Willis was excused. In charging the grand jury, Judge ( Moore took occasion to Inform that body as to its high duties and respon- j sibillties, and as to how much the , public welfare depends upon Its con- . sclentlous fairness and firmness. He j gave full and comprehensive Instructions as to what constituted the of- | fenses charged in the various indict- . ments, and all who heard him were impressed with the high Importarce he attaches to a fair and impartial enforcement of the law. The first case taken up was that of the State vs. Wm. Jones, charged with ] carbreaking. A jury was empaneled ] ana auer me laaing or expert resumu- ( ny acquitted the defendant for the reason that he Is now insane. John Williams plead guilty of forgery and was sentenced to two years. Wm. Feemster was convicted of manslaughter and carrying concealed weapons. Ras Thompson plead guilty to using stock without consent of the owner, and was sentenced three months or thirty dollars. David Bryant plead guilty of violation of the dispensary law, and was sentenced three months or $100. William Clark plead guilty of assault and battery of a high ar.d aggravated nature and was sentenced to $50 or three months. Os Jeter plead guilty of assault and buttery of a high and aggravated nature, and was sentenced to $75 or three months. John Ross plead guilty of housebreaking and larceny, and was sentenced to one year on the chaingang or in the penitentiary. Lein Woodward plead guilty of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and was sentenced to 8 <lx months at hard labor. When The Enquirer went to press i this morning, the court was engaged!0 on the case cf Joe Davis charged with assault and battery with Intent to kill. In the case of Chaa. R. May, the grand Jury returned a true bill, charging breach of trust with fraudulent Intent. The grand jury Is still hard at work, and will probably not get through during the day. ECLIPSE NEXT FRIDAY. A phenomenon which will be seen by quite a few, says an exchange, will be the total eclipse of the moon late In the evening of the 26th of this month. The eclipse will begin about half-past eleven o'clock and the shadow will not entirely leave the surface of that body until early In the morning of the 27th. I During the time the shadow Is on the moon the eclipse will reach a point where it will be total. For this reason it Is somewhat unfortunate that tne hour Is so unseasonable, for while partial eclipse of the moon are sight-seen about twice a year by all the Inhabitants of the earth, the total eclipse is a phenomenon not to be seen as a rule more than once every two or three years by the inhabitants of any particular portion of the earth's surface. There Is and has always been something peculiarly uncanny and fascinating about an eclipse of the moon, especially if It be a total one. In the times when the ancients saw the phenomenon year after year and had no Inkling of what caused It, there were all kinds of ridiculous reasons ascribed as to why that strange shadow snould pass across the face of the heavenly body. The appearance was TxratnhoH u/Uh tha iitmrvo* Inforoat hv all theBe people and especially by the philosophers who Imagined that In It they saw divine revelations of days that were coming, and forecasts of Important events concerning the different kingdoms. Since the development of the study of astronomy, when science, with her enlightening linger, has pointed out to her followers the true cause of the phenomenon, and with It the intricate and mysterious system upon which the universe moves, the eclipse of the moon has not lost In that pacullar attraction which characterized It In the olden times. As Is well known to all who have delved Into even the upper layer of the science which describes the movements of the univeree, the eclipse of the moon Is nothing more or less than the shadow of the earth, which is cast upon the lunary when the terrestrial g.obe Is just between the sun and the moon. Such a position occurs only at rare Intervals in the movements of these bodies, but the system Is so accurate, and so Infallible, that the complex movements of both the moon and the earth can be calculated and scheduled down to the last fraction of a second, and those who have studied the matter can predict for years ahead just the exact second when the shadow will touch upon the round orb of the moon. By a consideration of the cause of the eclipse and the relative positions of the three bodies, and also the cause of the different phases of the moon, which are caused by the revolution of the moon around the earth, it is seen that an eclipse of the moon, whether total or partial, can occur only when the moon is full, for it is only at this phase that the three bodies can come into a straight line. The fact that there is not a total eclipse of the moon at every full moon is explained by the complicated motion of that body in going from one side to the other of the spot at which the eclipse may occur. This is the same motion which makes the moon rise earlier In winter than in summer, and which makes Its point of rising vary during the different sea^ sons of the year. The eclipse which will be visible at this place late Friday night and early Saturday morning will be a total one. For a short length of time the shadow of the earth will entirely cover the surface of the moon, and the luminary will be observed as a dull red or brownish spot in the midnight heavens. The eclipse is something out of the ordinary, and in most observers It gives rise to that chilly' feeling of the sublime which cannot be explained. To see the chief luminary of the night shining brilliantly in the heavens, iiguuug uie giuuiiua tuiuuDi ao uiifiuv as the morning sun, and shining: too, by light reflected from the center of this planetary grlobe, is something which, while not unattractive, is so often seen that it draws no comment To watch this luminary while a dark shadow slowly but surely steals across Its face, beginning c!most Imperceptibly on the edge, until It Anally covers the whole surface, and to think also that this shadow la caused by the vast body of matter upon which the observer stands, la something which cannot fail to cause thoughts of a more or leas serious nature to pass through one'a thoughts. The eclipse of the moon has always been watched with Interest by all the astronomers, both of this and the ancient times. To the modern observer It possesses more than usual interest. The eclipse is one of the most easily given proofs of the fact that the earth is round, since the shadow may be observed two or three times a year. Oth<?r facts of keen astronomical Interest surround the eclipse, and Its coming is always of importance to the astronomers. LOCAL LAC0NIC8. Negro Shoots White Man.

Mitchell, contractor and builder, of thla city, died Friday morning at her home on West White street of pellagra. Mrs. Clarke has been sick with this disease for some time. At one time it was thought that she was responding to treatment, but she grew worse and died Friday. Fire Near Sharon. Two small houses on the John R. Patrick place, about a mile south of Sharon, were destroyed by fire at an early hour last Friday morning. One of the houses, a tenant, contained several bales of seed cotton, and the other, a smoke house was empty. There is a suspicion that the fire was the work of an incendiary, and two negroes, Dave and Tom Lee, have been arrested on the charge of being the guilty parties. Death of Mrs. Mary P. Strait. Rock Hill special of November 22 to the Charlotte Observer: Mrs. Mary P. Starit of the Ogden section, south of this city, died Saturday morning rather suddenly after an illness of only two days. Mrs. Strait was 82 years of age, and leaves three daughters, Mrs. John H. Duncan, Mrs. Agnes Strait and Miss Lou Strait. In addition to these one sister and one brother survive her, Mrs. Sarah Neely and Mr. J. J. Dunlap, both of this county.

No Compromise of May Case, Columbia Record: Solicitor Henry has knocked into a cocked hat the project started at Rock Hill to pay out of trouble Charles S. May, the former treasurer of the town, al leged to have defaulted in a large imount, and the embezzlement case igalnst May will come up for trial it Yorkville this week. Friends of May's family raised a fund of J4,r,oo ivith which they felt sure they would ie able to compromise the case. So mre were May and his friends, it is said, that the scheme would work hat .he made preparations to get employment; but when a committee ot he subscribers .to the fund went iown to Chester to see Solicitor denry about the matter he promptly nformed the committee that he could lot consider such a proposition to nol pros the case for a moment and expressed surprise that such a proposilon should be made. When it was ntimated to him that many members >f the Rock Hill council endorsed the : proposition to compromise, and that inless he did agree to nol pros the ' aso he would not be able to get the 1 lecessary records from the council 1 o convict, it is said that the solicitor i howed temper and gave the com- ' nittee to understand that if he did < lot get the records he would indict ] m all the counts he could .make. The , belief In Rock Hill Is that Mr. May. who has already acknowledged his shortage, will plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court Mayor Roddey denies that council has ever taken any action looking to a compromise and asserts positively that the city attorney endorsed the move to free May. "If we are going: to compromise this May case," the. mayor said to some friends of May recently. "I shall insist on council amending the ordinance against theft so as to say that anyone caught stealing In Rock Hill herealter shall be turned loose on paying back what they stole." MERE-MENTION.

Editor Yorkvllle Enquirer: I write to thank you for the editorial In your last issue, which Is temperate and fair. However, you say, I "criticised two judges," and "it seems to us Dr. Bell was unfortunate In 1 bringing the judges Into the matter at J all." This statement grew out of Mr. s rhurmond's misrepresentation of the 1 ?ase. The truth is, I intended to compliment Judge Aldrich, because Judge (Vldrich refused Mr. Thurmond's mo tlon for a continuance, unless defendant's attorney would come within the rule, and the case was continued at the Instance of the solicitor. I am only a layman, and if in my flj bungling way of putting things, I v seemed to criticise Judge Aldrlch, it was not my Intention, nor was he in any manner to blame. I cheerfully maTce this statement, as I would not Intentionally do any man an injustice. a Thanking you for your kind edito- 9 rial, I remain, Tours truly, D. A. J. Bell. Farksville, S.

H New York, Nov. 22.?The report of the census bureau, proving about as generally expected, had little affect on speculative sentiment and the cotton market today was more or less Irregular with trading quiet on the average. The general tendency, however, was firmer, as the census figures were considered encouraging rather than otherwise from a bullish standpoint and the close was firm at a net advance of 9 to SO points. The market opened barely steady at an advance of 4 points on December, but generally 5 to 8 points lower in . response to disappointing cables. Following the call a scattering demand from outside sources and ooverlng by some recent sellers sent prices up to a net advance of 7 to 12 points.
