Jennings went into the hall and asked who was there, re ceiving, no answer, she hurried to the front door; fired a pistol and call ed the Rev. Mr. Harmon, her near est neighbor, just across the road. He, with Mr. S. B. ,Cope, another near neighbor, hurriedly answered the call, but of course found no one. ?it was decided to send for the bloodhounds, recently purchased by tht county, and about 11 o'clock Mr. -J. D. Oliver arrived in his auto, with .the hounds, and their trainers. Up on being taken to the piazza, they immediately opened on a trail and ?took it to a cane patch a few feet ?from the road, and then to the back steps of Cupid Walker's home. Up on entering there Isiah Walker, Ol lie Walker, (sons of Cupid), and ?Kolt Tyler, were found In bed. They were taken in hand and each one -told a different tale, that sorely .conflicted with the others. It was found out, however, that they had .been gambling during the day and afternoon, and had been In Mr. .Copo's cane patch. Tyler was put "in the town lock-up. and Isiah Walk er was taken to jail in Orangeburg. ,Ollie. the younger Walker, was al 'lowed his freedom for the time be ing. A preliminary Is to be held.

One of the funnfest and most orig inal scenes of "Tho Girl in the Taxi," the merry sensation from Paris, Ber lin, Chicago and Boston which comes to the Academy ol! Music. for an en gagement on Monday evening occurs at the end of the arst act. . The scene represents the; home of John Stew * art on RIeerside Drive, ? New York. The:hour. is about, eleven o'clock, arid everyone has.said good night and re tired . to -. their rooms. Tho . lights are turned out by a chic French maid and- the moonbeams stream in through.the windows opening on to the veranda. All is quiet. Suddenly a door opens and Peroy Peters, Mr. Stewart's nepnew from Philadelphia who has come to Ntiw York for throat treatment and is supposed to be a very sick man, ap pears in full evening attire. He closes his door cautiously, locks It, skips over and listens at the other door and then with a laugh, leaves the house to keep a midnight ap pointment with the "Girl in the Taxi" at the Cafe Riehe. He has hardly gone, when Papa Stewart ca.u tiously emerges from his room in ev ening dress, listens at the other doors and with the remark, "every body sleeps but father," sails out of the house to meet a couple of chorus j girls. No sooner has he gone, how ever, than Bertie, his Innocent and unsophisticated con, creeps from Ills room, tiptoes to the doors of his father and his cousin Percy, and pre pares to 'leave the house. Bertie is ihard pushed for money. His father allows him but five dollars a month, hardly enough with which to enter-0 tain after the fashion of his elders. His eye catches sight of a beautiful loving cup which his father has re ceived only that day as a token of appreciation and proudly left on the top of the piano for exhibition pur poses. Bertie- has no sentiment in the matter. He grabs the silver tok en and exclaims gleefully, "I know where I can get ten dollars for this." Then he darts from the house and goes as rapidly as he can to a pawn shop. The expectation aroused at the end of this act as to what will ) happen In the next has never excell jed in any produced on the American ' 6tage. j ORANGEBURG OWES BERKELEY. Annexation Commission Makes Re port to Gov. Ansel. Apportioning the debt of Berke ley County to Orangeburg, on ac count of V-Q recent annexation of n portion of Berkeley to Orangeburg, the commission, appointed by Gov ernor Ansel Monday made Iis re port to the Chief Executive of the j State. The report makes Orangeburg indebted to Berkeley in the sum of a little over SI,000. The d?bt was on a bisis of the i property assessments for 1910. The i taxable property in that part of Berkeley recenly annexed to Orange burg was $G55,550. The taxable property of Berkeley was $3,454,S22. Taking 16 per cent., this being the relation of the two amounts, the debt of Berkeley being S6,203, the amount apportioned to be due from Orangeburg is $992.48. ?* Berkeley also owes to commi v-ioc jers of election $352.65, and Orange I burg's share is $56.42. Berke:v/f total amount was borrowed from the sinking fund. Therefore, the exact : amount due from Orangeburg is $1, 048.90. The commissioners were: W. S. Utsey, chairman; C. M. Wig !gins, auditor of Berkeley, and T. M. {McMichasl, auditor of Orang->burg. secretary. Will Send Exhibits. Superintendent L. W.

If It Proves True It Will Revolu tionize the Planting of Cotton in the South. According to an article In the World's. Worte, by Mr. A.. W. Page, the problem of. picking cotton by .machinery has been successfully solv ed. Anjus Campbell, a Scotch pat tern maker of Chicago, is given cred it for.this achievement. Twenty-five years of experimentation attest Mr. Campbell's Interest in the question. During that time he has made ma chines of many types and has brought them one after the other from fac tory to cotton field only to meet with ridicule when he attempted to put the picker into operation. He worked on and in the Fall ot ;i 90S he succeeded in iparsuading j Theodore H. Price, the big New York cotton dealer. Into sending an engi ; neeer to Texas, -for the purpose of I viewing al work the one machine j which the Campbell company pos I sessed. As the result of the engi {neer's report Mr. Price himself went ! on to Texas, taking with him Mr. i Herbert E. Walmsley, a former pres ident of the New England Spinners' Association, Mr. Arthur Hamerslags, jof the Carnegie Technical School, of Pittsburg, and Mr. Percy Freeman, the Dallas agent of a big English cotton buying house. The entire quartette were skepti cal?but only upon arrival. They saw the machine at 'vork and they returned convinced that it was a suc ? cess and would revolutionize cott >u [picking. Their verdict, according to j Mr. Page, stands. The machine Is j not put forward at this time as a j perfected instrument, and a number I of improvement have been made in I the last few months, but it works , now and as Mr. Page suggests, "It j is much further advanced than the gin or the reaper or the telephone when they made their first appear ance." "The machine itself," says Mr. Page, "is about as inspiring sight as the gin was in Whitney's day. It is a small gasoline, traction engine, with two picking attachments swung under it, and a pair of canvass bass hung out behind. It travels through the field about as fast as a man walks, taking the cotton plant be tween the wheels, where it is picked over by almost countless, revolving steel fingers, which catch the lint j but leave the plant uninjured, so that the later bolls may mature. To leave the unripe bolls has been the great difficulty in making a me chanical cotton picker. "The picking machinery is on two drums, which hang from the frame ; of the tractor, one on each side of the cotton plant as Ithe machine straddles the row. An endless chain of upright cylinders of small diame ter follow each other around the drum. From these cylinders the needles which do the picking project ! horizontally into the plant. When the machine starts everything moves I with a motion of its own. The drum carries the cylinders around: tht cyl inders poke the needles into the plant at the proper anv.le. and tho j fingers in turn catch the cotton. '.'Every motion is delicately ad justed. The fingers move fast enough j to catch the fibre, but not fast enough j to throw it off. The cylinders bring leach finger into place at the proper I time, so that there is never a space {larjce enough for the open boll to j pass through without touching a fin . ger. The drum is moving backward at the same rate that the whole ma chine moves forward so that the pick ing needles do not move horizontally through the plant, hut merely turn in it." As The News and Courier says "it is almost impossible to over-estimate the importance of this machine to the South if in practical dally use it shall measure up to what Is here claimed for it. The expense of oper ating it, it is estimated, would be approximately: for driver. $1.50; for gasoline and oil. $2.50: for boy, : $1.00; allowance for repairs, $1.00? I a total, the day. of $6.00. The ma ! chine will cover at least eight acres I a day. Mt. Page estimates that with (the machine a farm of 100 acres ? can be picked over twice in twenty five days, at a cost of $150. "The saving over the hand-pick ing method would depend, of course, upon individual conditions, upon the I price per 100 pounds paid to cotton i pickers, upon the yield per acre, upon ! the 'lay of the land' as affecting the i operations of the machine. Where, !as in Texas, cotton pickers have ask . ed $1.10 the hundred this season, j ?he difference would he very consid jerable. Upon soil where the yield I per acre was very light it would .probably be impracticable to use the i machine at all. the cost being prohih . Hive. This phaso of the question is not a senons one. however, since it is bein? recognized more and more renorally every year that intensified farming Is decidedly the most profi table from every standpoint. ? "The perfection of the cotton pick er will at a hound make the white I man the master of the industrial 'situation. Radically improved rneth ? ods of cultivation can he introduced with comparative ease. The em ployment of a successful cotton-pick ing machine, one that can he operat ed economically and which can be depended upon not to get seriously out of order upon slight provocation, and to do its work efficiently, will not only mean an annual saving of many millions of dollars to the South ern farmer, hut it will cause land values to soar, and will make the South more lhan ever attractive to the white man, especially to the man of moderne means. "The announcement of Mr. Camp hell's success is especially interesting at this time in connection with the NEGRO KILLS WHITE ROY. Killing Took Place Near Orangebnr And Aixcn Line. Pat Williamson, a negro bov 11 years of age, was Tuesday Incarcer ated in the Aiken jail for. the kill ing of little Essie Rushton, a white * oy abou*. h is yw.n age. Th<? him I clde occurred Monday afternoon, near Perry, which Is near the'"Or anreburg and Alken County line. Magistrate H. B.,Garvin of Wa^en er held an inquest over the little fellow's body Monday; night, the ver diet of the : iry' ^elng that lad ?iai come to his ??jjaLU from srunshot wounds at,the.hands of th?3 colored boy. Th9 details of the yi.'lin,' arc .nknowu except >r what thVpc.Tro boy saya, and the mere fact tn\t El sie 6tated on his deathbed fcUat Par had killed him. The facts th it de veloped at the inquest were as fol lows: Pat's mother was nursing Mrs. Rushton. mother of the deal lad, ^:t?l was sta;/:ng a' thj s:???."!?.:ni? homo during her illness. Tuesday after noon last Pat came to the Rushton residence to await the home-going ot his moher, bringing with him hii sin?le barrel shotgun. It seems that he placed the gun in the kitoiien or elsewhere in the house until he and hi3 mother should leave. EJi.e. k seems, secured the gun and was play ing with it. Pat saw him wltii the gun and took it away from him, and then a scuffle ensued as to who should possess the weapon. The negro boy claimed that Elsie got hold of the barrel of th^ gun and attempted to pull it away from him, the gun going off. The load en tered the little fellow's ab domen, and death ensued a little later. Some of the people are said to have bcomo incensed at the col ored V.y, but cooler heads' counsel prevailed, and nothing of a violent nature was done. The boy was ta^-n into custody by Magistrate Garvin and carried to Aiken. The tragrly is one of the saddest ever recorded in the county. The relatives of the dead boy are prostrated with grief. NORWAY LETTER. ' Negro Woman Found Dead.?Row at Show Grounds. Norway, Nov. 28?Special: A ne gro woman by the name of Kinnerly, who resides a few miles from here, was found dead in the bottom of the well at her home on last Tuesday night. Whether she lost her balance and fell in the well or whether she jumped in Is unknown. The James Shelby's show visited us on last Friday and gave the coun try people a treat, evening and night. Just after the show was over a gen eral row took place, In which white and colored participated. As a re sult Mr. A die Spires was painfully cut about the stomach, and Mr. Cur tis Ilutto was slightly cut about the shoulder, also a riei-ro by the name of Joe Reed, was cut about the back. Mow the row started is not known, and the parties' arrested are out on bond. The preliminary hearing- will be on next Friday when we expect more parties will have to come ttt court. Mr. X. H.

Having made a study of the practical side of fertiliz I era and their uses, he is the best In : formed man on the subject in this swtioti. and wo expert to see the Home Fertilizer Company become inol only a great financial success, I but of immense bcnc-iit to the far mers of this county in buying thoir 'fertilizers. They can rely on Col |l)ant/ler's judgment, because be is thoroughly posted. i ! reports of the exodus of negroes from ithe (South. We may depend upon it that if the optimism of Mr. Tage I as to the workableness of Mr. Camp | bell's machine is justified that .its j adoption by the farmers will mean the longest stop which has yet beer, (taken in solution of the black pro blem as it affects the South. It ?vill be in effect the opening of the doors of the South to thousands of desir nble white immigrants, a movement ' which in lime must result in the outnumbering of the negroes by the whites, with result that the presence among us of the negro will no long er constitute a grave peril to the purity of the race."
