A ce^rtain newspaper man in South Carolina, who prints a mighty readable weekly, stated last week in hisi paper that the pay roll of his office the week previous was $32.91, and the cash receipts only $6.50. It is time for him to go out of business. His people don't want a newspaper. The Carlisle Fitting School pays J ^ big dividends to Bamberg, and the institution shojild have the support and encouragement of our people generally. The school can go forward to greater things If Bamberg's jg citizens will continue their interest SpH in it. It is gratifying to note that the white population of South Carolina * * rm.- A n,{mai.v is increasing, me seeuuu ^umai; election clearly proved this, as 110,000 votes were polled, seven thousand more than were polled in the 0. first primary. The vote of the sec1 ond primary was the largest ever known in the State, which shows that our white population is increasing , rapidly. ^ ; We trust this will he a most suc-H-' , cessful year in our graded school.

More Than I?our Hundred Mills Have Shut Down. Manchester, Eng., Sept. 21.?More than 400- cotton mills in Lancashire are idle to-day as a result of the dispute over wages between operatives f . and employers. This means that 40,- 1 000,000 spindles are wholly or partially stopped, that more than $250,000,000 of capital is not bringing in any return, and 4hat 140,000 opera- 1 tives are without work and losing i something over. $700,000 in wages a , / week. In view of the present condi tion of the market, it is not felt here that the strike will last long, for the card room workers are expected soon f to take a second ballot and agree to the 5 per cent, reduction in wages, which already has been accepted by the spinners. .. . M Sheriff Kills His Man. f-.r"Gainesville, Ga., Sept. 21.?Sheriff W. W. Beard, of Clay county, was shot five times here this morning by George Thomas, the negro alleged to have murdered the Bius boys about ten days ago, and Thomas in turn was shot and killed by the sheriff. Sheriff Beard met Thomas on the street and ordered him to halt. Thomas opened fire and wounded Beard five times before he could draw his pistol. Beard finally got his pistol out and shot Thomas dead. Sheriff Beard's condition is reported to be critical. Three other negroes, Essie Coleman, Alma Johnson and Savannah Woods, the woman whose house is near the scene of the tragedy, are confined in the county jail as accessories. The only evidence against Essie Coleman and Alma Johnson is that they were with George Thomas on the night of the murder. Coleman claims to have been drunk and remembers nothing. Johnson is unable to give an account of herself. / PERSONAL MENTION. People Visiting in This City and at Other Points. / ?Mr. W. H.

ORANGEBURG" SENSATION. White Man Arrested on Charge of Assassination. A warrant was issued this morning by Magistrate C. P. Brunson, upon an affidavit made by Mr. Frank M. peMars for the arrest of one P. W. Harley upon the charge of murder. The warrant is made out upon information and belief, that'on or about Dec. 23, 1907, that one P. W. Harley at the Bull swamp Bridge in this State and county did shoot, kill, and murder one R. A. Jeffcoat. It was only a short while after the warrant had been issued, and placed in the hands of a constable, that Harley was placed under arrest, and he is at present in the county jail. The issuing of the warrant and the arrest this morning, was the result of work done by a detective who has been working in the case for some months past. The detective was sent here by Gov. Ansel, and Solicitor Hildebrand has been instructed to prosecute the case to the end. The defendant will doubtless appear at a preliminary, but the date of this has not yet been fixed. It will be remembered that Mr. Jeffcoat was returning to his home one Saturday night from North, andthat he was shot from ambush. * He fell from his buggy, but managed to crawl some distance, and was found sometime afterwards mortally wound - x.i x ea. ne was laneu 10 ^uiuuiuia. iui treatment where he lingered for sometime, finally he succumbed to his wounds. The killing was a mysterious one. Harley was a candidate in the past campaign for supervisor of Orangeburg county.?Orangeburg Evening News, Monday, Sept. 21. Night Riders in North State. Charlotte, X. C.. Sept. 21.?Night riders have appeared in this State and have threatened to burn a cotton gin if it continues to run in the face of the declining cotton market. J. F. Jenkins, manaeer of the Southern Cotton Oil company's plant at Shelby, received the menacing letter Saturday. A cordon of armed men has been placed around the gin to protect it. There Is more Catarrh In this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incuraKe. For a great many years doctors pronounced It a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken Internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address: F. J. CHENEY & CO.. Toledo, 0. Soid by Druggists. 75c.

Will Soon be Back to Take Part in National Politics. i Columbia, Sept 19.?The impres-, sion that seems to have prevailed over the State for some time that Senator Tillman would have to be a passive figure in politics upon his return from his European trip is with-: out loundation, according to Dr. J. j W. Babcock who has just returned to) Columbia after spending four months j with the Senator abroad. Dr. Babcock says the Senator rec- i ognized as he should have done years ago his limitation, but he will get; right into the political game upon his ; return. He is practically recovered, the doctor says. In spite of all he could do to prevent it, the Senator is returning to take part in the presidential campaign for Bryan. The Senator re mains a montn longer m scouana. Another Tragedy Recalled. Fairfax, Sept. 17.?The death of Mr. J. Peter Priester, by his own hand, at his home near Sycamore last Saturday recalls another tragedy which occurred about 30 years ago at the same homestead and but a short distance from the same spot where the suicide was committed. William Henry Priester, a twin brother of the dead man, at that time in a fit of anger shot and mortally wounded his father, Capt. William Priester. The parricide had only a few months before married Miss Long, of Greenville. In due course of time he. was tried for murder in the circuit court at Barnwell, Judge T. J. Mackey presiding, and Col. Robt. Aidricn, now circuit judge, represseiu,ed the defendant. The trial lasted more than two days and Col. Aldrich consumed four hours in making his argument, which was said to have been the most powerful appeal to court and jury that had ever been heard in that court house. The defense was that the defendant was insane when he committed the deed and the jury acquitted him on that ground, and Judge Mackey had him sent to the lunatic asylum in Columbia, where he died a few months afterward. Capt. Priester was possessed of considerable wealth and when he realized that he was mortally wounded he made his will, giving everything that he possessed to his son, John Peter, his only child, except the parricide. John Peter married Miss Lamar Williams, who 4ied eight or ten years ago. He was evidently of unsound mind, having been adjudged insane at one time during his wife's life time and was sent to the hospital for the insane, but did not remain there long. At the time of his death he was in very bad health, which, no doubt, was the cause of his rash act. He leaves several grown children. INJURED IX A RUNAWAY. Mr. Wade Green, a Greenville county Farmer, Seriously Hurt. Greenville, Sept. 19.?Mr. Wade Green, ^ farmer, aged 35 years, whose home is about six miles east of Greenville, was seriously injured in a runaway here this afternoon. He! was driving a blind horse, which be-j came frightened at an automobile passing down Main street. The horse dashed down Coffee street and ran into a fence, tearing up the wagon and probably fatally injuring Mr. Green. The doctors think he has slight chance of recovery. His skull was crushed and he was injured internally. Charming Entertainment. In honor of Misses Essie Brown, of Columbia, and Leila Cofer, of Wagener, the two charming guests of Miss Lizzie Hand, Mrs. B. W. Simmons entertained at her home on Railroad Avenue a few of the younger social set last Wednesday evening. "Military Synonyms," a specially devised guessing contest, was introduced and proved to be a great success as an entertainer. In this contest Miss Pearle Delk and Mr. Clarence Black captured first honors, and the first prize as well, while Miss Flossie Murdaugh and Mr. Charles Black were the successful competitors for. the consolation. Before the refreshments were served by Misses Julian Easterlin and Lizzie Hand, much amusement was derived from the "bank of fortune" from which each guest drew her or his "fortune" wrapped in a white crepe paper napkin and tied with dainty bows of pink and white ribbon. Those present were: Misses Essie Brown, of Columbia, Leila Cofer, of Wagener, Annie Laurie Rice, Camille Price, Lizzie Hand, Belle Cooner, j Flossie Murdaugh.
