have no effect on the status of the
Ganson Dry Goods Co., of Yorkville.
In this Mr. Ganson is merely a stockholder.
The reporter, however, has
been unable to see Mr. M. F. Jones,
the manager. He is now in the northern
markets making extensive purchases
for the fall and winter trade.
The Cotton Market.
The New York cotton market just
now seems to be about as puzzling as
a West India hurricane. January fu
iifna ulncoil Mnndnv pvpninp "firm" at
from 6.20 to 6.21. The opening yesterday
morning was "weak" at 6.11,
and at the 11 o'clock call, the figure
was 6.15. The local buyers had no
idea whether the noon call would show
a still further rise or a decline. From
the letters being sent out by brokers,
it appears that the conflicting reports
as to the condition of the Texas crop
is having a considerable influence on
k the situation. Reports of rain in Texas
on Monday, caused a decline of 7
points ; but just what effect this rain
will have, the speculators do not seem
to have a clear idea.
Honaebreaklng.
Burglars of the sneak thief kind
have been operating in Yorkville during
the past week. They did two jobs
within a short time of each other, bot h
in houses that were unoccupied at the
time. The sufferers were Messrs. J. S.
Brice and C. E. Spencer. Mr. Brice's
house was entered last Friday afternoon.
He discovered the fact when
he returned home at dark. The thief
had carried off two pistols, some
clothing and other articles. The police
worked on the case next day, and as
the result of evidence procured by Mr.
W. F. Caston, Mr. Brice swore out a
warrant for a Negro boy named Will
Young, who was arrested. Some of
the goods were found in bis possession
and he confessed bis guilt; but claimed
that another Negro named Dave Gladden
was an accessory. It has not been
definitely ascertained whether the boy
told the truth. It is certain that he
has told numerous lies. The discovery
that Mr. Spencer's house had been
broken into was made last Sunday
morning. The family was away at
Blowing Rock. The thief, got in
through a back window and ransacked
everv drawer and trunk in the house.
As yet it has not been practicable to
secure a list of the stolen articles.
There is reason to believe that the
house was entered Friday afternoon ;
but this is only a matter of theory.
Young claims that he knows nothing
about this robbery, and as yet there is
no evideuce against him. Young is a
well-known sneak thief, who has several
times been on the chaingang.
The penalty for housebreaking in the
daytime, is imprisonment for a period
not exceediug one year. If it can be
shown that the stealing in either case
amounted to grand larceny, including
goods to the value of $20, the convicted
thief or thieves may be punished
much more severely.

TREACHEROUS FILIPINOS.
They Are Inclined to Carry Water on Both
Shoulders.
"Recent events have proved somewhat
discouraging to officials who are
trying to accompany war with a policy
of conciliation," says an unceusored
Manila dispatch of August 22, and
sent by way of Hong Kong. "Two
new municipal governments," the dispatch
continues, "have collapsed
through the treachery of the mayors.
"Today the mayor of San Pedro
Macati, who was elected by the people
uuder the direction of Prof. Dean
Worcester, of the United States advisory
commission for the Philippines,
was brought to Manila and lodged in
iail. The United States officers at
%r ?
San Pedro Macati found that he was
usiug his office as a recruiting station
for the Philippine army. Four distinguished
insurgent officers were helping
him.
"The mayor of Baliuag was also arrested
and confined in the same prison.
The Americans caught him passiug between
the lines of the two armies with
incriminating documents, which the
authorities secured. Another prominent
native mayor is under surveillance.
[ "When the result of the election at
Imus, which General Lawton and
Prof. Worcester engineered, was announced,
the Americans inquired as to
the whereabouts of the people's choice
and were informed that he was in
prison at Bilibid, where the authorities
had placed him on suspicion of
being a revolutionist, ne was released
and installed as mayor.
"Such events and conditions tend to
give color to the assertions of foreign
residents, acquainted with the native
character, who insist that a great
majority of the natives sympathize
with the insurrection and elect officials
whom they know to be revolutionists.
"For two weeks Manila has been
policed at night with unusual vigilance.
Apparently the anthorities are expecting
trouble. The trend of affairs tends
to make the policy of leniency unpopular
among the Americans. When
they abandoned Morong they burned
the whole town.
"Colonel Smith, of the Twelfth infantry,
who is in command at Angeles,
is sceptical regarding Filipino friendliness.
Instead of allowing the natives
to return to the town as heretofore he
has ordered his troops to shoot all
men trying to pass the lines and to
turn back the women and children.
He recently gave the amigos in me
town an opportunity to prove their
professed friendship, putting them to
work at digging treuches and cleaning
streets; but this only displeased them.
"The foremost citizen of Angeles, a
lawyer, who had welcomed the Americans
with a great show of cordiality,
was found communicating with the
insurgents. The Americans promptly
marched him off to San Feruando
to stand trial.

Greenville News, Saturday : Ernest
Kinard, the well known Pelzer expert
bicycle rider, while riding for prizes in
Elberton, Ga., during the big Elberton
carnival ou Thursday, fell from his
wheel in some way and was fatally
hurt. While ruling at a nign raie ui
speed he plunged forward on his chest
and tore his flesh open down into his
lungs. When he was picked up, with
the dust made mud of by his life
blood, the sight was sickening and almost
everybody turned away their
gaze. Mr. Kinard uever regained consciousness.
He was carried to Abbeville
acd died at a hotel at 9 o'clock
Thursday night. The remains were
carried to Pelzer yesterday and the
sad news cast a gloom over the busy

Rack Revenue Tuxes.
Columbia special to the Greenville
News: The internal revenue department
has come down on the Kichland
Cotton mill store and wants to collect
$1,500 from it for back revenue taxes
on slips, which it claims were checks
and should have been stamped. The
slips read: "Iticbland Cotton Mills:
Pay to Kichland Cottou Mill store and
charge to my account, so much money."
The items were small. The
store sent in the bill to the mill and
received the money on the slips, which
the government says were checks and
were never sent in to the mill. The
case will be presented to the revenue
department by W. H. Lyles, counsel.

Florence special of Sunday to The
News and Courier: The Rev. H. K.
Moseley, I). I)., pastor of the First
Baptist church of this city, tendered
his resignation as pastor at the regular
business session of that church today.
I)r. Moseley has accepted the position
tendered him last March to take charge
of the missionary work in Cuba by the
American home mission board. Dr.
Moseley's resignation takes effect
October 1. Many of the congregation
shed tears as the pastor stood before
his congregation with tears in his eyes
and with quivering voice broke the
uews to them that the relationship of
pastor and people would so soon be
dissolved. A committee, with Dr.
Moseley as chairman, was appointed
by the church immediately to submit

AHHHUlted l>y a Nopro.
Rock Hill Herald : Mr. James Hicklin,
a son of Mr. J. Cloud Hicklin, of ;
Chester county, was painfully cut in
one of his arms on Monday last by a
knife in the hands of one John Backstrom,
colored, the son of a cropper on
his father's farm. The cut is about 1
four inches long, extending downward .
from near the shoulder joint, and ex- i
tends to the bone. The wound was ,
dressed by Dr. G. W. Jordau. It seems '
that Backstrom was about to leave his <
cotton crop, to go elsewhere to get a
job, when Mr. Hicklin notified him
that if he should leave, hands would
be employed to pick the cotton. What 1
else transpired we are not informed.
But later in the day, when Mr. Hick- <
lin was passing a house in which Back- .
strom was, the latter accosted Mr. (
Hicklin and remarked in a threatening '
tvRv that he had uttered some bit;
words to him in the morning. As- .
founded at the boy's impudence, Mr. <
Hicklin replied, "Boy, you do not
know who you are talking to." At
this, the boy ran at him with a knife (
and inflicted the wound referred to. '<
He made another attempt to cut; but '
the blow was warded off, the blade .
cutting the clothing and grazing the (
skin of the stomach. The boy then '
departed to parts unknown.
Arreat of Colonel Neal.
Columbia Record, Monday : Mag- j

Saturday to make the arrest, and a '
warrant was sworn out before Magis- J

of the board of directors, making
the affidavit. Colonel Neal will be
arrested under section 304 of the
criminal statutes, which provides that
a retiring officer must turn over all ,
state money in his possession to his
successor within 30 days. The penal- *
ty for failing so to do, is a fine of $1,- I

be taken immediately before Mag-, i

he will be able to promptly furnish |

The enormous profits of a

has all changed since

gold has a "standard" value,
while the old time jeweler

cost something to make the

that SPECK wants and he
