President Taft put the parting;
touch on his part in the celebration
of this city's "safe and sane'' fourth
in a speech on Canadian reciprocity
at the Marion club banquet at Imiian
1 apolis, Ind. The president made his
answer to the argument of other Re
publicans that reciprocity, as he bas
proposed it, is not good Republican
doctrine, but Democratic doctrine. He
showed that reciprocity, as present
ed to congress by him differed, if
at all, only slightly from reclrpocity
as advocated by James G. Blaine and
former President McKinley. He de
clared that the contention of the oppo
nents of his reciprocity plan that the
doctrine is un-Republican because it
affects articles that are competitive
and not merely non-competitive arti?
cles as not sound. "The sound Re
publican doctrine," said the president,
"has become the imposition of duties
only where the conditions are natural?
ly unequal and where duties are nec
essary in order to enable our manu
facturers and other producers to meet
on a level the competition of foreign
producers. The Canadian reciprocity
agreement which has been made,
squares exactly with this doctrine."
Pope Pius X, in an autograph let
ter received by the apostolic dele
gate to Washington, applauds the lead
taken by the United States in the
world-wide campaign for international
peace. Although the pontiff does not
mention President Taft specifically b
name, a copy of the letter was for
warded to the white house. It is ex
pected that the president, because of
his well-known peace views, will re
ply to the cordial sentiments of tho
ruler of the church.

Geu. Clement A. Evans, former com
mander of the United Confederate
Veterans, and member of the prison
commission of Georgia, died at four
forty o'clock Suuday afternoon at his
residence, 167 Capitol avenue, in At
lanta. His end was a quiet and peace
ful one, with the members of his fam
ily at his bedside. Although his con
dition had been desperate for some
time, his passing comes as a chock to
hundreds, for his brave fight for life
had aroused high hopes of a possible
recovery. General Evans had been
in poor health for several years, re
sulting from a severe attack of the
grip in 1909. Much of th? time, since
that sicknes he had been unable to
leave his home. Governor Smith will
issue an order on the death of. Gen
eral Evans, closing the capitol for the
funeral.

that the party will sweep the nation
next year and take possession of ev?
ery branch of the Federal government.
Mr. McMillan has been in Washing
ton for the past week, and has con
ferred with Democratic leaders in both

better shape for a great many years."

ONE IS REVERSED I
OTHER IS AFF?RMEB
THE SUPREME COURT HAS DECI
DED TWO MORE LIQUOR
CASES.
V/HAT SUPREME COURT SAYS
Farris Case From Spartanburg, Re
versed, Hunter Case, From Laurens,
Affirmed-States When Increased
Punishment is Applied.
Columbia.-The Supreme Court laid
down the law that in order for the
increase in punishment for subsequent
oifences under the Prohibition Act of
1!'09 the defendant must have been
previously convicted under the same
Act and not, for instance, in the City
Courts in any towns of the state. The
ruling came up in a case from Spar
t? nburg. The Supreme Court also de
cided other points of interest under
tho sama statute.
The Supreme Court handed down
two decisions on the liquor laws of
South Carolina.
Tho two cases are: The State vs
J. R. Parris, Spartanburg County. Re
versed. The State vs Green Hunter,
Laurens County. Affirmed. This
makes three decisions the Supreme
Court has handed down in the last
few days on the whiskey question.
The Supreme Court says, in part:
"This view is in harmony with the
greater number of cases decided in
other jurisdictions.
"But the contrary rule was estab
lished in this state in Smith's case,
S Rich. 460, where the court held that
the indictment need not state wheth
er it is for the first or second of
fence, though the second offence in
that case was punishable with death,
while the first offence was punishable
only with whipping. To the same ef
fect is the case of State vs. Allen,
8 Rich. 448. We think, therefore, that
the motion should have been granted.
"There was some testimony tend
ing to support the verdict. There
was therefore no error in refusing
the motion for a new trial on the
ground of an entire absence of evi
dence to sustain the verdict. Re
versed."
This opinion was by D. E. Hydrick,
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court.
Judge Robert Aldrich presided at
the term of Court at which this case
came up.
A $100,000 Suit is Filed.
A $100,000 damage suit was filed
here. The case grows out of the
death. of Walter R. English, a line
man, here on April 28. This is not
the recent case where a mill worker
was killed on a pole while louking at
the ball game, but English was reg
ularly employed'by the Western Union
Telegraph Company, according to the
papers filed. The suit is brought by
Clara J. English, as administratrix
of the estate of Walter R. English,
against the Columbia Railway, Gas and
Electric Company, and the Western
Union Telegraph Company. English
was killed near the Seaboard depot
here. The complaint alleges that the
Western Union did not furnish a safe
place for the linemen to work. The
allegation against the street railway
company is that it strung its wires
dangerously near the iron braces on
the telegraph company's pole. The
general allegations of carelessness
and wantonness are in the complaint.
Various other allegations are named
in the complaint, including the fail
ure to properly insulate the wires,
etc. Wherefor $100.000 is asked, be
ing ene of the largest suits In the
state.
Township Boards Are Restrained.
Judge George W. Gage at Walter
boro issued a temporary injunction
restraining the township commission
ers of Bluffton, Yemassee and Shel
don township from exercising the
functions of their office. The com
missioners were ordered to show
cause at Beaufort on September 4
wliy the injunction should not be
made permanent.
Trustees Are Elected at Meeting.
At a special mass meeting of the
tax payers of special district No. 26,
comprising the city of Orangeburg,
the trustees of the graded schools of
this district were elected. Before the
f lection of trustees, Maj. W. L. Glaze,
chairman of the board, read a finan
cial statement which showed that the
schools were in fair condition finan
cially. The total enrollment in the
white schools during the past term
was 712 and in the colored schools,
744, making a total number of 1,456
pupils.
Governor Visits Condemned Man.
While in Spartanburg Governor
Blease visited in the county jail Joe
tates, the former Spartanburg police
officer, under sentence to be hanged
on July 12. The governor has recent
ly been asked to commute Bates' sen
tence to life mprisonment and the
belief is here he will do BO. Bates
has been sentenced to hang on three
different occasions, but each time his
attorney's have succeeded in having
the sentence stayed. A commission
was appointed recently to pass upon
Bates' sanity.
Had No Cases For the Board.
The governor informed the mem
bers of the state board of pardons
that he had no cases for considera
tion. The board met as required by
law. Immediate adjournment was
taken. The governor is deciding all
pardon cases independent of the board
and clemency has already been ex-,
tended in over 170 cases. ;
The members of the board of par
dons are W. A. Savage. Walterboro;.
R. Mays Cleveland. Greenville, and
W. A. Clark, Columbia.

THIS STATE IN LEAD
THESE INTERESTING STATISTICS
HAVE BEEr. PREPARED
BY WATSON.
BRINGS MORE MONEY SOUTH
South Carolina Ranks Second of All
the States In Value of Crops Per
Square Mile-Value of Crops of
Other States Less Than $3,000.
Columbia.-Some interesting statis
tics on tlie agricultural situation in
South Carolina have been prepared by
Commissioner Watson from the re
cent federal census. As has been an
nounced this state jumped from 21
to 13 points in rank in agriculture.
The value of the agricultural pro
ducts of the state increased by 28.4
per cent in one year. The value of
the crops in 1910 was $140,000,000.
which was an increase over 1909 of.
$31,000,000; an increase over 1906 of
$63,288,000 and an increase of $88,
685,000 over 1910, all of which shows
that the value of the crops has increas
ed over 100 pe rcent during the past
decade.
With reference to the value of the
crops per square mile South Carolina
ranked second of all the states with
34,518. Other states in comparison:
Illinois, $5,122; Georgia, $3,743;
Texas, $1,369.
All other southern states show the
value of crops per square mile to be
less than $3,000.
The cotton crop of the south ac
cording to the statistics gleaned for
1910 went on the market for $963,
1S0.000. The crop of 1909 was worth
$S12,000,000 and for 1908, $681,230,
0P0. It will be seen that the cotton
crop of 1910 was worth $151,000,000
more than 1909. There are in the
South 440,000,000 acres of . land
available for cotton and only ene out
of 12 acres is planted. Of the cot
ton crop 19 per cent was consumed in
the United States; 49 per cent was ex
ported and 35 per cent remained in
this country up to February, 1911.
Court Defines Drawing of Jury.
Columbia.-The judgment of the
Lee county court has been affirmed
\]?r the supreme court in the case of
the state against Lena Smith. The
opinion is by Associate Justice Woods.
The appeal is from an order of Judge
Prince, quashing an indictment for as
sault and battery with intent to kill,
on the ground that L. A. Morse, clerk
of the court of common pleas and
general sessions for Lee county, and
e::-cfficio one of the jury commis
sioners who had drawn the grand
jury presenting the indictment, was
an uncle of the wife of the prosecu
tor. The circuit judge took the po-,
sition that it was in the exercise of
his discretion that he quashed the in
dictment because of the relationship,
and he is upheld by the supreme j
court. i f
lt is Up to the Governor No//.
Columbia.-If the governor carries '
cut his announced promise he will |
now be forced to pardon every one
of the 300 convicts employed in the
state penitentiary. He has put his
foot down on the hosiery* mill, so to
srieak and has. on several occasions, i
made the pardon statement. The
board of directors have found that it !
will be impossible to abolish the
hosiery mill contract Immediately and
it is up to the governor to c; ry out j
his announced plan. Should ti:e gov- j
ernor pardon all of the prisoners ^ow j
working in the mill it would not ab..te j
the contract. Moreover, he has ,
charged the mill with being a death ;
hole. The records show three deaths
from tuberculosis from the mill last :
year, but if all of the prisoners were
released, according to his ideas, the
disease would be spread all over the
state. The situation is interesting.
Sumter.-Mr. Perry Moses, Sr.. who
has for many years been manager of
the local plant belonging to the Sou
thern Cotton Oil Company, has re
signed his position and Mr. A. Cillon
Fishburne, who has been bookkeeper
and cashier of the company for eight
or nine years, has been appointed to
succeed Mr. Moses.
Serves 7-Year Sentence, Rearrested.
. Spartanburg.-James Johnson, alias
Edward Murphy, alias Portland Ned,
who was released from the Federal
penitentiary at Atlanta, where he had
served 7 years for robbing a post
office, was brought to Spartanburg
by Sheriff W. J. White and Deputy J.
L. Williams and placed in jail to
await trial on a charge of house
breaking and larceny. It is alleged
that on Thanksgiving night, 1902, he
and three confederates cracked the
safe of the Enoree Manufacturing
Company.
Urable to Save Man From Drowning.
Charleston.-Hearing a splash in
the water, a group of men who were
standing on the dock in which the
United States steamship Atlanta is
berthed at the Charleston Navy
Yard turned around just in time to
see the body of J. F. Roberts, a
water-tender at the yard, disappear
into the water at the head of the
dock. The men sprang to a boat, but
by the time the boat had been man
ned and the men had reached Roberta,
the latter had gone down for the last
time.
Shoot Well at Sumter.
Sumter.-The boys of the Sumter
light infantry have been doing some
very good shooting at the new rifle
range put up here for the use of the
second regiment of the national guard.
The scores of the five highest in the
practice shoot, under orders from
Capt. A. E. Legare, are: Capt. Warren
179; Lieut. Brown 135; Sergt. Owens
130; Sergt. Bradford 122; Private
Martin 117. Thi3 out of a possible
200, at ranges of from 200 and to 600

Military ]
Copyright, Underwood & Underwood, N.
THE military-whether men or
material-possesses a charm for
the average feminine that makes
itself manifest i n a variety of
ways. Especially is this so in the
matter of womanly garb, as for in
stance in the case of the hat shown
In the picture. Here we have the
PRETTY DRESS
This pretty dress is of white cotton
'oile. The skirt is slashed open at
ile sid* over a panel of hand em
aroidery, and the edges of the skirt
ire finished with hand embroidered
scallops and dots.
The bretelles, which cross, and the
cuffs ar? embroidered to correspond
with the skirt. The little chemisette
ls tucked and trimmed with lace; the
girdle is of white ribbon.
The Prettiest Decoration.
Real flowers make a much prettier
decoration for the wedding cake than
the ornamentations that confectioners
delight in making, out of sugar. A
beoutiful spray of snow white roses
rested on the top of a homemade bride
cake, recently seen at a simple coun
try wedding. It was embedded in the
frosting and it was a much more artis
tic decoration than the expensive love
knots and filigree work that are done
In sugar.
New Negligee.
The new combing sack is in the
length of a chemise and falls just be
low the hip. It is rounded out at the
neck, also like a chemise, and has
abbreviated kimono sleeves cut all
in one, without arm or shoulder
seams. These dainty little "Greek"
chemises for boudoir wear are made
solt flowered crepes of thin silk and
of light, thin challis, the object being
to have the garment soft and limp,
so that it will fall in graceful lines
over shoulder, arm and bust. There
is no opening in front, the little
chemise slipping on over the head.
A cord, weighted at the ends with
tassels, runs through a casing just
below the bust and this is drawn up
and knotted at one side when the

3LUE SERGE ALWAYS USEF?
Every Woman Should Own Such
Gown, if Possible-Serves So
Many Pjrposes.
If possible, every woman should
elude in her wardrobe a little 01
piece gown of thin blue serge,
serves purposes tor which blue ifni
and blue surah are not available,
is not marred by tho rain and lt
not e?sily mussed.
A one-piece blue serge gown rn?
sound plain and anything but Indi
idual, but its possibilities are unlii
ited. Silk collars, folds and barn
may adorn it. and the skirt may 1
made with a knee deep hem. Tl
skirts are slightly raised on the bodlc
thus Riving an Empire effect, and tl
bodice is ?cose atti easy.
The trimming of the bodice is
matter of iydividunl taste. Some pr
fer the deep rolling cellar of bla<
satin, over which a small collar
Venetian lace can be turned, as t
black is not so becoming next to t
neck. Others have a deep collar co
ing almost to the waist line, made
all-over lace, dotted net or sheer ej
let embroidery piped with a narn
fold of black satin.
Some may ase a touch of color
the blue serge gown, but this shot:
be judiciously applied. A panel lin
with a vivid green or glaring ceri
is not altogether smart, while a crav
of green, king's blue or light red si
cannot fall to be good looking. T
farseeing woman will see to lt al
that her blue hemp hat ls brighten
with a bit of the chosen color, a
will have also a tailored parasol

Stylish Coat Set.
The right coat set on the right B
looks well, especially In warm wea
er, when it gives a fresh touch tc
dark linen, serge or pongee.
One that has the merit of bei
etylish and quickly worked ls in bli
and white. The collar ls shf
shaped, deep at back, and the cuffs i
five inches wide. *
The surface is closely covered w
a scroll design worked with wi
cotton couched with black at short
tervals. The entire skein ls used
the underlay and a single thread
couching.
The edge is finished in a Btrai
buttonholing, a quarter of an t
deep, with a fine chain stitch wor
close to it in black, which also r<
forces the purl.
Double Faced Cloaklngs.
Not a shop of Importance bul
showing double faced cloaklngs, v
plaid and plain reverse side, and gr
er novelties in the ratine effect, ol
with one side in silk. Some of the
treme novelties are so wholly un
on the two sides that it seems alu
as If two materials had been pa:
together.
Another interesting feature in m
rials for wraps is the double fa
Bilks, with one strong color on
6ide and another on the reverse, -j
no indication of the other from eit
side. That is to say, in blue and
combinations, for example, there is
trace of the changeable effect;
Bide is absolutely red and the ot
side absolutely blue. It is two to
and double faced In the strictest se
of the words and not changeable
shot.-Chicago Tribune.
There is no decrease In the pei
Iarity of long, V-shaped hoods on sn
coats. They are made of the mate?
itself or of satin or silk in the s-fl
color as the coat, but they are fal
with a vivid silk and held down m
thick tassel.
