C JNES, SENSATIONAL MEETING AT YOUNG'S GROVE Continued from first page parsonage or a cliurc'h. That blood money helped to build the Methodist 1 church and parsonage at Newberry and it was known to be blood money. Rev. C. M. Boyd, who was stand ing in the crowd cried out: "Tell us about the Spartan'burg investigation, 1 when you said on the stand that you i would like to have a drink now. Just now you told a woman how to raise I her child so as not to be a drunkard: 1 Tell -us about the investigation." Mr. Blease admitted that he said is and, went on to say that the (Mr. Boyd) looked like a man who would take a i drink of beer when he got a chance, and if he wanted to they would take one together if he wanted to. On learning that Mr. Boyd was a minis ter, Mr. Blease apoligized. Mr. Blease resumed speaking, but did not say much more before he sat down when he had not been speaking very long. The audience commenced calling for Mr. Boyd to speak, who responded in a forcible manner. He said he had not intended to say anything at the meeting but when the Church had been slandered and Christian minis try insulted he was compelled 'to say something. In the course of his speech he said he was not fighting Tillmanism, he had only been in this state a few years and knew little of 1him. He re called the fact that when he came to. Prosperity,a few years ago, there was no dispensary, no policeman patroll ed the streets and there was no guard house. Now the town has all three, and the people know t'he state. of af fairs. Rev. Mr. Boyd held tihe undivided attention of the audience who, at the close of his speech showed their ap preciation of his words by congratu lations. When Mr. Blease left the stand, he was halted by Rev. P. H. E. Derrick, who dhallenged on same statements Mr. Blease made in his speech, flatly contradicting him. Mr. Blease ap parently tried to avoid difficulty and he turned and walked off, leaving Mr. Derrick still talking, who, be fore Mr. Blease had not gone fifteen feet, said: "And if you deny it. you are a liar." Mr. Blease walked on off as if he had not heard the :emark. SThe sentiment manifested at the Smeeting was a little against the dis rpenlsa and t!here is little dioubt in the mind s of the anti-dispensary forces that the dispensary will be voted out by a overwhelmmng ma jorty. But, likewise the upholders of the dispensary side were connident of winning out on the 2gth. Anyway, the campaign from now on is go fing to be a hot one. -AMERICA'S RICHEST MAID. tGreatest Catch of This or Any Other 1Season is Miss Gladys Vanderbilt. The greatest catch of this or any o:her season has arrived in Newport tto spend the remainder of the sum mer. She is Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, youngest daughter of Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, with whom she returned from Europe this week. 'rhey came rdirce't to Newport on their arrival and t have opened The Breakers, where Sthere will be several dinners and per Shaps a dance during the closing sea son. Their coming is especially in teresting, as they have not been in SNewpo-rt -before for two years, dur Sing which the beautiful villa 1has been 3closed. Miss Gladys is the youngest mem ber of the Vanderbilt family and made her debut last year in a magnif icent coming out assembly in the big -Fifth Avenue Vanderbilt mansion. She is a pretty, winsome girl of 19. Iutterly unspoiled, thanks to the care ful education and training she has 1 received under her mother's watch ful care. She has been educated at home by Icarefully selected teachers, and has -been taught practical as well as re rfined things. For instance, she can Ccok as well as he can play the piano. She is fond of riding and outdoor sport, devoted to dogs, and promises to be the !handsomest woman in the nost winsome girl. In fact and prospect she is actually :he richest single girl in the United 3:ates. By her father's will she re :eived five million dollars in her )wn right. She is heiress to a par' )f the Too million dollars representing :he (Cornelius Vanderbilt estate also, xhich will bring her wealth up to ;o million dollars. Besides this she ,ill receive millions from her mo-ther md otiher relatives, so that it is safe :o say that in time she will be worth n her own name 5o million dollars. She promises to be handsomer than ler sister, Mrs. Harry Payne Whit ley, or her -cousin, the Duchess of MIarlborough. With all Iher wealth mnd the distinction of -travel she is ser ous, quiet and unassuming, and is iot ostentatious in dress, preferring ;imple frocks to elaborate gowns. 'his was shown at her debut, when she wore a simple, girlish frock of vhite. Since the death of her fatih.er, Miss Jladys has been her mother's con ;tant companion. She is very chari :ably inclined, 'taking especial inter !st in certain poor people whom she as aided until she has come to re ard them in the light of pensioners. Society has gossiped and speculat d much as to the future husband of :he young Vanderbilt heiress. Rob !rt W. Goelet has been most ferquent ry mentioned in connection with her name. He escorted her and her nither on their lhomeward trip from the continent as far as London and it has been hinted tihat before the summer is over their engagement will be announced. POSSIBILITIES OF COTTON. The Staple is now Being Used in Manufacturing Artificial Silk Product Sells for $3 Pound. Augusta Chroncle. The cotton crop of the south is a-c present bringing into the states that produce it something like $6oo, ooo,ooo annually. What will be the stupendous income that it will rep resent when newer practical uses have been discovered for the staple, can of course, be only speculated upon. We know this much, however, name ly, that scientists -are daily s'triving to dscover some hdi.herto unemployed method of rendering the principal product of our broad acres of this section more valuable than it has 'been in the past. And a recent issue of the Nashville American directs at-tention to the fact that the fiber is being maniufactured into artificial silks, the Italans es pecally being adept in ihus converting the cellulose of cotton into fabrics that closely resemble the more ex pensive ma-terial of genuine silk. For i while this., practice has proved a very gold inine to those who were shrewd enough to first car ry it out, the product selling at aboMt $3 per pound, and a factory paying a dividend of 35 per cen't for 1904, but other wide-awake capitalists have "caught on" and though t'he profit is bound to -fall off to a great degree in the near future, it will still remain sufficiently alluring to tempt enter prising manufacturers 'to invest tiheir dollars therein. -The Nashville American also states that the whole of silk raising France is up in arms -over the matter; that a petition has been presented- to the government asking that it be render ed a crime to label any such false goods as "soie" or "s'ilk," while in Lombardy it is determined to beg that a distirnguishing mark be requir ed to be placed on all packages of such false, or cotton silk.. The phase of the dispute in regard to this matter is not a subjec-t to concern us. of course, unless, indeed, they should so legislate in France as to pohibit the use of cotton in con nection with silk altogether. As there is no indication of that. .how ever, at present, we may conten-t ourselves with uniting with the Nash ville American in the hope that this development of a new use for cotton, taken in connection wth what does not seem to be unreasonable expec tation of eadh. year producing anoth er something like it, may serve to keep the product in chief of our plan ters at the present high price, even if it does not lead to still higher quota tions in the future. Science is making rapid advance then, should it not do the same with respect to its discovery of new and valuable and advan:ageous uses to which the cotton crop may be put? We will hope so. at any rate, even -hough it be devoted to a debasing .:ompound. GREAT CHURCH BURNED. St. Thomas', New York, Badly Rav ished, Damage Being $250,000. New York, Aug. is-St. Thomas' Episcopal dhurch on Fift1h, avenue and Fifty-t'hird street, one of the most richly furnished religious edifices in America, was wrecked today by fire. Within a block of the ruined church are the horces of half a score of the country's wealth'iest men, including those of John D. Rockefeller, William Rockefeller and the late Daniel S. Lamont. The hotel St. Regis is scarcely a block -away and scores of the finest city homes in America are in the section of which St. Thomas' church was practically tihe centre. 'Dhe fire was confined to the church. Defective electric wiring is sup posed to have started the fire. The loss is estimated at least $2,500,000. Only a mere shell of stone wall is left standing, %nd many valuable paintings and bas-reliefs are ruined. One bronze bas-relief called "The Adoration of the Cross," valued at $50,ooo was totally destroyed. Two large paintings, "The Resurrection," and "0hrist Iliealing the Sick," were also burned. Sumptuous altar and chancel furnishings, including a $20, ooo organ, were destroyed. We are showing our new style fall and winter hats on our counters to day. Best styles and best values in the city.
