Interesting statistics * concerning the cotton mill industry In South Carolina for the fiscal year ending July 1, 1912, were given out by Commissioner of Agriculture, Commerce and Industries E. J. Wat son. The figures were compiled from reports made out and signed by mill managers, and show among other things that during the year several new cotton mills have started opera tion while others have enlarged their plants. On the other hand one mill has been dismantled while several others have reorganized with changes in capital stock. The comparison of statistics are made for the four years, 1909, 1910, 1911 and 1912 and show a decided and gratifying improvement in the cotton mill industry, a steady decrease In the empolyment of children and TOnmon In tho -rnHlo th? living nn tn the child labor law, practically, by the entire mills of the state, an in crease in the use of waterpower over steam power, and many other grati fying signs of upward tendency all along the line. Especially interesting are the fig ures or the cotton mill population. The report shows that for this year there were a total population in the mill villages (estimated) of 110,113, a decrease in one year of 1,786. The total number of employes in the mills are 47,077 divided as follows: white males 29,201, an increase over last year of 2,945; white females employ ed 14,993, an increase over last year of 424; negro females employed 110, a decrease from last year of 30. The report shows that the total number of male children employed in the mills (14 to 16 years of age) is 2,848, an increase of 281 over last year; number of female children (14 to years) 2,225, a decrease in one year of 60; total number of male children employed (12 to 14 years) 2,164, an increase in one year of 328; total number of female children employed (12 to 14 years) 1,455, an increase over last year of 115. The report shows the number of male children employed under 12 years and the number of female chil dren employed under 12 years to be none, following the new law prohibit ing the employment of children under that age.

With its executive session on the Isle of Palms the Great Council of the United States of the Improved Order of Red Men com- | pleted its business. During the fore noon the Daughters of Pocahontas were given an excursion by steam boat about the harbor and up the Cooper river as guests of the chamber of commerce. TLe principal social feature, however, was the fish fry at the Isle of Palme, the great seine being drawn and a generaus catch being made. While most of the vis itors stayed over for a day or two, cr>nroa nf thorn rtonartod tha Plvrio steamer Arapphoe sailing fox New York a day ahead of schedule for ac- , commodation of the Red Men.

In an address at the Elks Club the j governor criticised Charleston for, the j alleged, allowing politics to interfer ' 1 with entainment of the Red Men and , Daughters of Pocahontas. The weather of the last day was an improvement. Washington, D. C., was chosen by the Great Council for the place of the next convention.

Calls On People of State For Air. W. F. Stevenson, chairman bf the special committee of seven appointed j by the State Democratic executive committee of South Carolina recently to conduct an investigation into the primary election for governor held August 27, spent a day in conference in Charlotte, N. C., with W. B. Wilson, Jr., of Rock Hill and T. B. Butler of Gaffney regarding plans for the pro posed investigation. JuBt prior to leaving the city, he dictated a letter to the Democrats of South Carolina, in which he mapped out the line of the Inquiry and called upon all good citizens to aid the committee in its work. Trie assistance or tne press 01 the ?tate is requested in ordeT that ample publicity may be given the various counties wit hthe view to ferretin gout as many of the irregu larities as possible. / Primaries Held All Over State. Although there was no second pri mary held for state offices the keen est interest was manifested In all counties where contests appeared for county offices. In nearly all counties delegations, although in a few cases a third primary may be neecssary. In Aiken and Horry counties the vote seems to be close and full returns will be necessary in many instances can be declared. Some remarkably close races are reported from the va rious counties and the official count | will be neecssary in many instances | before the result is learned. In the j exciting race for sheriff of Greenville county Gilreath and Rector are sep arated by only 21 votes with two i mountain boxes to be reported. Find Dead Man on Railroad Track. There was a white man found dead by the railroad track one-half mile ; from Carterville. The men of Car-1 tersville have put forth every effort | to identify him. He had nothing i about his person to give the slightest ! clue to his identity except the clothes j that he wore were bought at Coker & j Company's at Hartsville. It is sup- | posed he fell from train 55 and and j died instantly. He is six feet tall, I sandy hair, sharp features and weighs 1 about 150 pounds. Has on dark gray j suit. Chairman of Sub-Committee.

It seems from what can be 1 gathered from the inquest that was < held by Mr. Johnson that the old man 1 had owned a little place near the de- 1 pot and had been farming on it with 1 a younger son, who died some time < ago and after his death, the older son, < Harvey, came and took possession of 1 and began to treat the old man very < cruelly, finally killing him. REPORT ON TOBACCO S NOW COMPLETE ? FIGURES FOR MONTH OF AUGUST ARE NOW AVAILABLE. MAY BREAK ALL RECORDS rhe Total Production For the State of South Carolina So Far Given In dicate a Bumper Crop.?Some Very. Interesting Figures. Columbia.?The tobacco crop in South Carolina since the season open ed has made a remarkable showing, j [n 1911. 6.099.232 Dounds were sold i during the months of July and Au- i gust; this year during the same ' months 21,273,215 pounds were mar keted, an increase over the same per- | lod of last year ofc 15,173,983 pounds. During July and August of last . year the tobacco sold brought $722,-! 052.76; during the same months this j year the tobacco sold brought the I splendid total of $2,288,600.20, which is an increase of $1,566,547.44 over last year. The largest tobacco crop that the state ever had was in 1909, when the total production was 25,583,049 pounds. That total represented the entire season; this year the months ' of September and October have still ! to report their sales and there is ev-, ery Indication now that this year's tobacco crop will far exceed the larg-i est crop that has ever been grown | in the state, and will certainly bring to the farmers more rhoney than any crop ever before marketed. The total ( crop of 1910 only brought 51,354,600, j and the total crop of 1911 only | brought $1,388,016. The sales for the two months already reported of this year have brought practically $1,00, 000 more than the entire crop of either 1910 or 1911. Hearing Has Been PotBponed.

SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) LESSON FOR SEPT. 22. FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND. LESSON TEXT-Mark 6:30-44. GOLDEN TEXT?"Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life."?John 6:35. This parable marks the high level of the year of popularity In the life of our Lord. It Is such an important miracle as to be the only one recorded by all four gospel writers. The returning diBCiples (v. 30) are urged by the Master to come with him into a desert place that they might rest, and also that he might comfort their hearts over the death of John the Baptist "They had no leisure." Jesus knew the need and also the proper use of leisure. But the multi tude would not grant this and flocked to his retreat in the desert. They saw and 'followed that they might liBten to his gracious words or behold some new wonder, but Jesus also saw and ministered, y. 24. Carlisle ftaid he saw in England "forty millions, mostly fools." Not so with Jesus. He saw and was moved, not with Barcasm, but with compassion, which compassion took a tangable form of service. It is Interesting to note in verse 34 that the compassion of Jesus led him first of all to teach. It is better to teach a man how to help himself than to help the man. We also infer from this verse that the soul of a man is of more value than his body. It is not enough, however, to say, "God bless you, be fed and warm," when a man Is hungry. So It is that Jesus listened to his diciples when they saw the physical need of the multitude. A Great Task. St John tells us In this cunnectlon of the conversation with Philip. Phil ip lived in Beths&lda near by, yet to feed this multitude was for him too great a task, even with his knowledge of the resources at hand, John 6:5-7. Yet we need not be surprised at Phil ip's Blowness of faith. Moses in like manner was oace nonplussed how to feed six thousand In the wilderness, see Num. 11:21-23. It Is not so much as to how great the weed nor how lit tle we possess, but rather is the little given to God. Another (disciple, Andrew, who had discovered the Saviour unto Peter, dis covers as though la desperation a boy whose mother had thoughtfully pro vided him wtfh a lunch consisting of five barley "biscuits and two small dried herrtng (John 6:9), at least that much remained. It Is a great com mentary utyon the tide of Interest at this time that this boy should not have eaten his lunch, for a boy's ban ger Is proverbial. It seems as though Jesus emphasizes the helplessness Of the dteiples In order that be may abow his power. His command, "give j*e them," <v. 37) teacbes us that we are to give such as we have, not look to others, nor do our charity by proxy. Prov. 11:24, 21. Again the Sarlour asks his disciples to see (v. 38) as though he would teach them the boundless resources of his kingdom. Olve what you have and he will bless and Increase it to the supplying of tbe needs of the multi tude. The secret of success was when he took the loaves and "looking up" for God also saw on that day, and blessed It. We need to observe the systematic procedure. The people seated or re clining upon the ground in ranks or by companies. The Master blessing and breaking the boy's cakes and giv ing first to the disciples, for God only works such miracles through human agencies, and then giving to the peo ple. The result of this systematic pro cedure was that "all did eat," and further, they were satisfied, v. 42. Not alone, however, was there Divine or der and lavishness, but there waB economy and thrift as well, for Jesus gave careful directions as to the frag ments. The lavishness is shown by the fact that the baskets Into which the fragments were gathered were each large enough in which to sleep. Living Bread. The conversation process was a Btinging rebuke to the improvident orientals, and to the present day prodi gals of that wonderful bounty with which God has blessed our land. God gives to us that we may use. Joy dies unless it Is shared. Jesus, the living bread (John 6:48) will satis fy hunger, and life, as bread, gener ates in the human body heat, energy, vitality, power, etc., so he would feed the hungry souls of mankind. We have at hand the Word; it 1b for lack of it that men die in the deepest sense of that word. The poverty and perplexity of the disciples in his presence and the pres ence of this great need 1b being re peated over and over today and yet it is absurd. We have not enough to feed the multitude. Our few loaves of amusements, mental activities, etc., will not feed them, but when we break unto them the Living Bread they have enough and to spare. When our Lord has the handling of our loaves then they are charged with new power and are for the satisfying of the nations. Jesus welcomed the multitude though the disciples would send them away. Je6us saw their need spiritual ly though the disciples saw only the physical need. Jesus saw the abun dant resources' of the Father (Phil. 4:19), whereas the disciples saw only their poverty and helplessness. The disciples had, however, learned to know Jesus well enough to obey, and so though his commands seemed out of reason they at once began to give to the people, and as they j;ave, not before, the food was multiplied. They drew not from an earthly, but a heavenly, storehouse. The multitude also obeyed. "If ye be willing and obedi ent ye shall eat of the good of the land." Isa. 1:19. Nor shall one b: overlooked. He, Indeed, Is the giver c overy good and perfect gift. VERY WELCOME NEWS. Tessle?Mr. Bore said one good thing at least last night. Jessie?What was that? Tessie?He said he had to go early.
