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

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."

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.

JAMESTOWN
EXPOSiTBOIM.
Prof. T ? 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. This place itself pos-esses
.nany amusements and attractions
md is unrivalled in location, nor
snly being immediately situaf'-d
tt thc Western od of ihe grounds,
but al*o overlooks the naval fi-et
ind historic Hampton risd.v
?rh? re the famous bat I ie b tween j
the Merrimac and Mcuitor took j
place in 1802.
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. On arriving there my:
patriotic spirit led me tv? se-.' first !
tvbat dear old South Carolina bad
o exhibit. 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. She
is the center of southern hospi
tality, for bergreal prosperity han
not swept away the old-time cour
tesy and genial Hpirit Trade han
not been puttied at the PX pe use ol
good brending and business enter
prise has not been allowed t ?
^reak up or even di m i nie h the

beauty of the region, speed.ly
fiuds himself following willi z st
?he simple, borne-!ike, r .bust'life
nf tue peoplp, rather than seeking
after glittering artificiality and
empty ?bow.
As it wan my aim 'o giv -yoji

vite you to come and be convinced
that fie authorities, rj.d not li nike

Bladder troubles most alv/ays result from

obiained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys, if you are feeling badly you
;an make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kicne}', liver and

It corrects inability to hold urine and scald

unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during tiis day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized, lt stands thc highest for its won
