All South Carolina is greatly depressed and in deep sorrow be cause of the serious illness of that grand, good man, Bishop El lison Capers. The appearance of the.first bale of new cotton in Texas reminds ui that it will not Re very long before farmers in this DecK of the woods will also sell cotton and have their pockets jingle with bard cash. Kershaw county recently voted .out the dispensarythis being the first couuty to vote out a dispen sary undor the Carey-Cothran law. Formerly Kershaw has been a strong dispensary county but it bas been stated that a number of the state dispensary advocates pre ferred piohibition to the county dispensary. The taxpayers of the old mother county, Edgefield. will doubtless feel greatly relieved when this new county business is settled for all time. We have been reliably in formed that this county has paid out something like $1.200 for sur veys and other things since Ihe new county agitation began sev eral years ago. During the past, farmers have looked upon hail insurance with indifference, but if hail storms continue, ho one will feel safe without aom9 protection. Among ' the tobacco grjwers of the Pee Dee section, greater loss is sus tained every year from hail thaD ia any other section of the state. A gentleman from that section told the writer recently that 340 < claims for damages have been filed this year against one hail in surance company. s Cotton Goods* Advance in Price. All cotton merchandise' is soar ing skyward ia price. The staple bleached and unbleached cotton . goods that are to be found upon -every dry gooda counter are from forty, to sixty per cent higher than 95ahty_jQlal[ have mitfiWjg''tlH^fesg Qi the price-ladder. The best spoofcot ton now retails for six cents per spool or seventy-two cents per dozen, whereas some months ago the price was five cents or fifty cents per dozen-aa advance of orty per ceot. However, the South era people will eoter uo protest, if the raw cotton will sell propor tionately as high as the manufac tured goods. The trouble is, the staple seldom commands faocy prices while it is io the hands of the producers. The present price of cottou is above thirteen ceuts, but the bulk of the crop passed from the far mers at about teo couts. That's where the shoe pinches: The pro ducers have to pay faocy prices for manufactured goods but do Dot, in the main, receive fancy prices for the raw colton. No Gary County Yet. On Friday last Governor Ansel heard arguments for and against 'holding an election at this time to vote OD the formation of Gaiy county. Those represeDting the old counties of Aiken and Edge field contended that the territory embraced in the proposed Gary county is practically the same as that embraced in Heyward county, and, being the same, it would be a violation of the con stitution to order another election under four yearB from the date of the last election. The repr*sentn tives of the new county contended that it was a separate movement which ?id not include the same territory as Heyward county and that au election should be ordered: After giving the matter due con sideration Giveriicr Ansel ren dered hi? decision on Monday, which was to the effect that to1 hold another election under four j years weald be in cot flict with the constitution. The last election upon the for mation of. Hey ward county was held, about the 20tb of December 19?6. Tberofore, no election can be hele upon 1be proposed Gary county beforp Dec m ber the 20th "1910: IA Newsy Letter From Our Cogbur Correspondent Who Has Been a Reader of The Old Adver tiser for Forty-six Years. Editor Advertiser: I am per suaded that a bit of news from this section, if it misses the awful waste basket, might be Appr?cia ted and read by some of you many readers. The Advertiser is, I will say in the outset, the first paper I "have any recollectiou of reading, as it has visited the home in which I have lived regularly once a week for the past fortv-six years. Did I say forth-six? We]', I can't retract it, for its only too true. But it really doesn't seem that I have beeu here that long, so I am ready-io exclaim that time and tide wait for no man. Here we are to-day full of youth, vigor and manhood, but seeming ly in a few swift years we will be bent and ripe with old age and will be gathered in, as it were. The great concern to ue through life should be to get ready for the harvest that is sure to come. "Let us live, while we live," seems to be the motto of*tbis day and genera tion, getting what we see, want and cf-n get to-day with little or no thought.of that, is to come, of the morrow, or our future livelihood. Miss Eva Cogbr.rn, of Granit? ville, has been rpending some time with relatives in this section. Miss Owftena Stevens, of Flori da, the land of flowers, JS spend ing the summer here with relatives and friends. Mr. J. Henry Bledsoe made a business trip to Augusta this week. He reports business in that city as seemingly dull. Mr. Pearce Suwyer, haviug bpen called to the sick bed of bis fat':or several days ago, bas spent sever al dayp with the family siuoe death claimed his father, Mr. George Sawyer. This another gallant vet eran of the war of ibe sixties bas goo? to hi? leward. Then? are but few of these old battle scarred "vets" now left, but all are monu ments to the cause of justice and honor. Crops around this section are unusually small for the season, cotton especially. We regard it as being three weeks later than last year at this time. I um glad, how ever, to say that we have v?ry good stands left though we ha,re had very little but wintry weath er since the opeuiug of the spring season. But now that the summer season is on we at least hope and expect springVeather, if no more. With warm showery, sunshiny weather, crops can make great progress in the next sixty days, as they have been thoroughly culti vated up to this time. Mr. Jack A. Lott passed through our town la6t week in the interest of the very popular firm of Augus ta, Ga., that he represents. Jack is a hustler"at everything he goes at. The patrons of Long Cane school were very fortunate ir. se curing the services of -Miss Ida Todd, of Johnston, to teach a sum mer school after the close of the Johnston Graded School, she hav ing taught there the past year. The patrons are well pleased with her as teacher and regret to kuow that she has arranged to go in other business next year aud that there is no chance of securing her services as teach? r next school year Miss Sammie Pearce and Miss Mattie Lee Smyer, of Johnston, visited at the home of Mr. an and Sunday. For lack of space and time I will not t^y to mention the names and how many yonng gentlemen visited during their stay. Mr. J. J. Padgett and Mr.T. A. Owdom have lost several head of cattle with Texas or tick fever. We fear that the epidemic will spread about here and that this section will suffer great loss, should the disease become gener al with us among our cattle. Well, I will close by wishing The Advertiser and corps much prosperity and long life. "So mole it be. Amen." J. H. C Cogburu, June 22nd. Death of Capt William R. Dorn. Capt: William R. .Dorn, one of Sumter county's most esteemed citizens, expired suddenly at 5 o'clock Saturday morning ir. b is room at the Allen house, where he had spent the night, being pre vented by slight illuess from re turniug to his home. The death of Capt. Dorn was a shock to his friends in Americus ae.d throughout the county. An agediand estimable citizen, S man of highest integrity, and a valiant old Confederate hero, his sudden demise causes genuine universal regret among all. Capt. Dorn came to Americus on Friday, spending the day here. During the morning he had a number of teeth extracted, and later in the afternoon Buffered irom nausea. His friend, Mr. W. D. Haynes, induced him to remain in the city over night. The two occupied adjoining rooms at the boarding houe0, and late at night Mr. Haynes was at tracted by sounds of nausea and went to Capt. Dom's room. He seemed to improve later, but about 5 a. m. expired after auother severe attack of nausea. Dr. G. T. Miller was called in, but. there was nothing lemaining for human agency to perform. Capt. Dorn was a South Caro linian, and fought through the civil war in one of tha regiments of the Palmetto State. Afterwards he removed t? Sumter .comity, wbere he has since resided," es teemed and honored amorg all He is survived by his wife on i v.

Dorn {Gives The Ad vertiser's Readers an Exceed ingly 'Interesting Account of the Jamestown Exposi tion and its Historic Sur roundings. While enjoying a brief vaca tion from thc school room, I find mvself very pleasantly situated at Pine Beach, Va., just outside the exposition grounds, and I take pleasure in writing ruy friends iii old Ed ge fi old ^something of this great fair. Norfolk, to which city most all visitor? to The exposition boy their tickets and which is easily reached from all jpoints on the globe by steamers or by rail, is located on the beautiful.Elizabeth Rivpr. Il is a city of about fifty-five thou sand'inhabitants. Ifs clionate jp made delightful by the cool breezes from the ocean, bay and river. It is a thriving city in many resppcls and is well worth a visit by tourist from Main/> to Califor nia. It is a!so of historic interest. Tb* fleet of Lord Dunmore S"! fire to the city during Ihn Revolu tionary War and 'o this d>iv visi tors can see an old cannon ball, fired from a British frigate, im bedded in the wa He of St. Paulls church. From Norfolk the exposition grounds, which aro a dislance of about eight miles, can be reached any time during the day by means of.care passing to and fro. On reaching the grounds the first lili* g lo strike the visitor ia 11?< ut. tura I beauty of the plac? and its suitableness for the world's Pair. Just outside I lie grounds n'.d sn a direct hue with the cars from Norfolk lips tho beautiful little town of Pit e Beach which haa long bpi-ri favorite pummor re sort.

I will not uudertake to/give, a complete description of ?lu. many places of interest on ?he grouuds ind will say hero tba', one who bus . lever visited tho like before could tnost profitably spend several iveeics iu studying the different sigh's. 0;.e building I mention in particular is the States building ?vbere most of the stat? s have aii .xhibit.

And when I had seen ; [ was. not at all disappointed, a od j o be suro that I bad not observ? d partially I spoke to those who vero " bot South Carolinians concerning jer exhibit^ and found that w ?vere of the same opinion as to its seing among the foremost iu the ouilding. At one end of her exhib it stood tho splendid portiait of :he noble John C. Calhoun, at Ihe.. sther that of Gen. Waue Haoip :on, two of South Carohua's most seloved statesmen, the space in :erveniog being filled with the. nany various produc?s of her soil i-nd manufactories, her^g^u^i eges" Another most interesting build ng is the United States Building ?ontainiug the National Museum. These two buildings would scarce y start you in the way of seeing he exposition, but I merely men ion these two, the two naturally nore interesting to the South Carolinian. On tho 10 h of Jun?, which was joorgia Day, our beloved Presi lent visited the exposition for the >econd time and spoke to the ;housauds gathered to gu et him, t being my good fortune to see iud hear him. This was a great lay on the ground?, also was Vir ginia Day ou the 12th of June. ?outh Carolina Day is to be the 28th of June, be assured it will not be behind in this, but come and en joy not oui}' the sights within the grounds but the many other places )( iuterest easily in reich. About an half hour's ride ou the car carries you out to Ocean View wher?"you eau have a splen did view of the great oceau and where there is situated a fiue sum mer hotel and where sea breeze?, sunshine and bracing air can be enjoyed in their perfection. The city of Newport New?, named in hooor of Captain Newport, who brought the news of succor and relief to the perishing coiony at Jamestown lies just across Hamp ton Roads. This city has one of the finest dockyards in the coun try, employiug between 7,000 and 3,000 workmen, and turning out the largest battleships afloat. So replete with historic interest is old Virginia thr?t when we b;> gin to enumerate lier many points of interest we cannot find a stop ping place, so I must stop here and say we may justly be proud of ber as our mother colony.
