The news from the far East is
now to the effect that the war?can*

The Now York Journal of Commerce

cotton acreage of the United States
for 1,1)0-1 will show an increase of
not loss than 10 per cent, and that

will amount to ti per cg.pt. It is
rather remarkable how our Northern

tilings down to such a fine point
so early in the gamu.

SHOT DOWN IN THE DaRK.j
Prominent tfoung Man Waylaid and
Murdered Saturday Night Upon the
Threshold of His Home.?W. E Deaton
Accused and Arrested.
This community was shocked
from ( oolrc to circumference Sun-.j
day morning when it became
known that Mr. J. Laurie Putte'r-.j
Hon, a prominent young citizen of
the town, lay cold in death as the
result of injuiiea iutlicted upon
him Saturday night? by an un-.
known assassin. . Mr. Putterron
had tiinished, u, busy day's work .
mid.was retur.ni.itK to his home 011
Knst Boot h street, accompanied by.
Mt ssrs. A. It. McMlhaney and C.
C. Patterson. At the intersection '
of Bovth and (Forest streets, the
two last named young .men turned
in the direction of Mr...McKll.uney's
home, Mr. Patterson continuing
in the direction .of his own
home which stands about two hull-,
died yards .distant. :Mossrs. McKlhauey
and C. C. i'attesson had
cone., only a short distance out
Forest street when the rep >rt,.<-f n
shotgun, {<dlowrd 1 ?y four or live
pistol slants, was heard. Almost,
instantly came th;t criys for help
and in these wero recognized the
voict of Mr. Laurie Patterson, j
The young men re-entered Booth
street and saw approaching
at a rmi on the opposite sido of
theqtnvtu man,. but ijpon seeing
them the party tied in the direction
of the ^Presbyterian church. Mr.
Patterson was found lying upon
the pavement in front of his home,
tlie blood gushing from an. ugly
wound in his left side, lie was
carried bit > his h <me, where a
physician attended him, but the
aim pf tjio murderer \iad been .well
directed, and the young mail expired
n,t 11:30 o'clock, l*p >n examining
the body the physician
f-aiud that tip: wound was indicted
by,a charge pf buckshot. Tip' lpad
entered upt, ab^ve the t^'ft U'P. j
and, pnH^inu through the ,b-.dy,
lodged. hcnciith the skin ?>f the
Ui^l\t side. F.ijoip tli,p r#ni;n.of the
shot aiidjh^ position itywjiic^i Mr.
Patterson lay, it was evident that
lie wan fired uppn from behind
and that his at-suilant could not
have been more than ten feet distant.
It was also thought that the
party who committed the nsBnult .
had hidden himself in a fence
corner, from where he shot Mr.
Patterson down without a word of
wnrninir. The hitter was not tin
anpcd, however, and even after
jsipking to tho street, pulled hi*
pistol and tirec) several shots at
! his.fleeing enemy. , . ,. t
T^IE ANTE-MORTEM STATEMENT.
Mr, Patterson was conscious until
iU few minutes before deatli.
Wlieji asked as to who committed
thodevd, ho replied that he was
shot by Ed. Deaton. This statement
was repeated several times by Mr. ]

A Remarkable Ctntfltion
. As u result of the civil service
examinations for clerks and carriers
recently held iu Columbia,
say a The State, five persons have
been declared eligible, and two of
them will at once receive appointments
to places paying $600 a year.
Those jobs will soon 1* worth $700
a year and then the wmy is open to
advancing until salaries of $900
and $1,000 are earnsd. These positions
nro practically for life. It
is somewhat surprising, therefore,
to hear from postmaster Ensor
that four,of-,the .five eligibles are
negrqes, and that t\\o whito man
Who passed the examination made
the poorest record and Stands fifth.
That this is not an extraordinary 1
incident is shown by Postmaster
Eusor's, statement that it is the !
second time such a thing has oc- j
cnrred in h.i? administration.. The
result is that good places are won
by negroes. .
Is it possible there is any fault
in our common schools? Is it pos- j
sible these institutions hnve .failed
to prepuce yoipig men to pass eretl- |
ifilde examinations in the three
It's? Is it the lack ,of ntubitiou
