Grateful for Attentions?Says Presi- C dent Roosevelt Would Not Have Been Treated With More Consideration ? Stood Trip Well. k i . o The State. e ,(Mr. Theodore Roosevelt could not j have been the recipient of more at- li tentions than have been shown me to- .si <lay," said Bishop Ellison Capers as he was being- made comfortable in a e elosed carriage at the union station b la>t night. "One gentleman came all b the way from Sky land to Cedar Moun- o tain for us and we were taken to h Brevard in his automobile. So many s , kindness have been tendered me on the trip that I hardly know where to C begin to express my gratification." e The arrival of Bishop Capers was " awaited with anxiety last night, and 11 the party of friends gathered at the 0 station to meet him had everything in c readiness for his comfort. Mr. Ellison Capers, Jr., and Mr. ^ John P. Thomas, Jr., had closed carriages drawn close to the tracks and rp I Bishop Capers and Mrs. Capers, herself long an invalid, were carried ,in L easy chairs from the special coach .| ft to the carriages. Mr. W. W. Colcock, Tr., had brought a large and comfortable automobile to be used in case it S( I were needed. The party had reached the bish- t, j vtp's home in the eastern part of the w city before 2 o'clock this morning. ;\ | Capt. John G. Capers, Jr., and Mr. (| | T\ F. 'Capers, sons of Bishop and Mrs. p I Capers; Miss Marie Dwight and Miss jj [ Sams, who have been companions to n the two invalids during the summer, n and Dr. Craig of Winnsboro, who has C been in attendance upon the bishop e J f??r the last six weeks, were in the H y special ear. < Capt. Capers said that they had ?< ( left Cedar Mountain at 1 p. m. and * the trip of 12 hours was made with- P i'ui unpleasant incident. They were " taken in automobiles and carriages ' i from Cedar Mountain to Brevard and from Brevard they came directly to a i Columbia in a special car. si P "I think the change of climate will '' do me good," said Bishop Capers () k last night, "the air was getting chil- si ly on vC'odaV Mountain." He seemed B great, pleased to be home again, and though his power of locomotion has '' not been restored except in part, yet H- his voice is strong and clear and his handshake is hearty. IX ' Capt. Capers requests that no mat- *' H ters of official nature be brought to " E Bishop Capers' attention, although ( j?., the bishop will be glad to receive his ^ From Bishop Capers' present con<lition the members of his family are jj led to indulge the hope that he will j H recover the use of his limbs. Mrs. r V. Capers also stood the trip remark- j . ably well, considering her enfeebled W?' condition. It was quite affecting last v H night to see the dear old lady being . carried from the car to the easy carriage by her stalwart sons, who bore B* the chair on which she was seated with such care and solicitude. And -v V equally as inspiring a picture was '' < the manner in which their noble fath- 01 R? er, the prelate of this great state, the 'j u\ ex-Confederate warrior, was handed S1 as gently as a babe by his loving sons. P D i It will rejoice many hearts in South a '< Carolina to know that Bishop and " Mrs. Capers are at home, for while u. K, 1 hey are. loved wherever they may be, (l vet it. is so much easier to express that veneration and affection when they are eloso by. <r>, * 15 CENTS TOR COTTON. ^ K Southern Cotton Association Fixos ' Br Same Price as Fanners ft Uniou> N B\; Jackson, Miss, Sept. 7.?The exe- ^ K;; eutivo committee of the Southern Cotm Ion association has fixed the price of Htjji/ cotton for this year's crop on a basis " Rv> of middling at fifteen cents and for lfl HU V, s| H|i the cotton seed at twenty dollars per ^ Kl' ton. , . cj ? >Ui^ . .JkJk ^ NEGRO CAUSES MUCH STIR. fficial at Newberry Have Hard Tinu Arresting a Black "Blind Tiger."

Constable Williams am !hief of Police C. W. Bishop follow (1 the negro to the depot and just as lie train rolled into the station tin egro spied the officer* and attempt (1 to make his escape through tin rowd. Mr. Williams ran up behim lie negro and caught him in the col ir at the back of his neck with lib ift hand, when the negro wheelet nd began to put up a game fight 'lie negro is much of a man, and it is nid, culd whip three ordinary men Ir. Williams managed to ward oil lie negro's blows until Chief Hislioj nil up and struck the negro over tlu cad with his walking cane, whicl Denied the more to infuriate tin rule, when Mr. Willi a ms steppcc ack and drew his gun and just as lu as in the act. of shooting, Messrs 1.

The negro is considered a bad charcter and was convicted a few months go of selling liquor and fined $50 liich lie paid. When arrested yester ay he had a quart bottle nearly ful n his person in a "Shaw's Malt' ottle. The general opinion of those win fnv the affair is that the officers hat lieir hands full and had not outsidt clp come to their assistance the nogi) would have had to be shot to lx iken.
