GREAT GAINr
afc ij Capital Invested in Sooth I
Carolina
SINCE FIRST OF YEAR
Over Kleven Million Dollare in Petitions
for Charters and Commission*.?The
Fees Paid the State
Larger Than Ever Before.?They
May Break the Record.
The State says over $11,000,000
repescnts the amount invested in enterprises
in South Carolina since the
first of the year which is an unprecedented
record for the State as to
the capital used. In several instances
companies wete organized and rechartered.
hut the majority of the
$11,000,000 represents new business.
Tha records in the secretary of
state's office shows that to April 1
charters were issued to companies
with a capitalization of over $7,000. 000.
Since April 1 several large companies
have been chartered and rechartered.
The Charter of the Pelzer Manufacturing
company will expire at an
early date and a new charter in perpetuity
was secured. This concern
has a capital of $1,000,000 and was
chartered by the legislature in 1880
for a term of thirty years. The
Pelzer Manufacturing company is n
pioneer in the texlle industry in this
State and is one of the most successful
manufacturing concerns.
Another large company to receive
a (fharter since April 1 was the Santee
River Cypress Lumber company
of Ferguson in Orangeburg county.
The company has a capital of $1,500,000.
In connection with a genera^
lumber business, the company
will do a general mercantile busi
nees.
The secretary of state has turned
<over to the State treasurer the sum
of $7,051.91 as charter fees received
since the first of the year and up
to April 1. Since April 1 over $2.600
has boon received by the secretary
as charter fees which will be
counted on the presnt quarter.
The total amount received as charter
fees from'January 1 to April 1,
1909, was $6,561.48. which is nearly
I? ,000 less than for the present year.
The total amount received in charter
fees by the secretary of State for
the year 1909 was over $20,000.
Judging the increase over the first
quarter of the year of 1910 and
1909, it is estimated that at least
$30,000 will be secured from charter
fees, which amount will be the
largest in the history of the State.
The number of dissolutions for the
present year has b^en less than for
1909 to the present time.
T.ho records in the secretary's office
show that the industries that
have been chartered are varied. There
have been a large number of companies
chartered with capital stocks.
Tanging from $10,000 to SI 0 0.000.
A number have been incorporated
with over $1,000,000.
The larg st number of companies
to be chartered were in Georgetown,
Charleston and Greenville. The increase
in these Counties has been
most marked.
There has been special activity in
peal estate. More than a score of
large companies .have been organized
in Charleston and Georgetown,
and especially Georgetown, which
oounty makes a tine showing for real
estate companies.
In Charleston real ectate values
are said to have made phenomenal
advances during the past few years.
Property is said to have doubled in
value. ' This fact is shown that at
least a dozen substantia! real estate
companies, hacked by the loading
business men of Charleston, have
been chartered during the first {hre?
months of the yea'. The cap ? .1 of
hegc companies average from $l? 000
to over $J00,O00.
A number of smaller lni^stri?>a
have tcei organized with sub3t >:l?.l
capit w Included under th's might
foe mentioned the large number of
mer i ?e companies that have hi?n|
chartered in almost every towa 'n
the state. This would indicate that the
mercantile business is good. Fjw
dissolutions of this nature af business
nave been reported.
More companies have been orj.-nized
during the year for tha purpose
of conducting farms than ia lh"
history of the State. Two companies
have been organized with a cai.tt!
more than $35,000. Generally a mercantile
company is conducted In cenrectlon
with these companies.
Other corporations organizao ii elude
hanks, buildings and loan associations.
realty companies, telephone
companies, vegetable companies.
boat lines and loan companies.
The organization of texile companies
has been unusually active.
Something new for the State has been
the corporation of the two underwear
factories for Greenville. Each of the
companies has a capital of $50,000
and will manufacture high grade under
wear. These companies are controlled
by South Carolina capital.
Several Knitting mills have been organized
with small capitals.
Money doesn't give a person virtues,

KILLED TWO MEN
JEALOUSY PROBABLY CAUSES A I
DOUBLE MURDfiK.
Negro Man In Jealous llage Shoots $
Down Two Negro Women in a
Field.
Evidently In a jealous fit of rage.
James Robinson shot and instantly c
killed Willie Brown, about 35 yearB i
old. and her mother. Fan e Brown, |
all the parties being negroes, rn the
Vnnlln mnrlla
near Bath, in Aiken county, Tuesday
morning about eight o'clock.
TJie only eye-witness was a little
boy. From evidence given by him
at the coroner's inquest, it seems
that the two women wer? hoeing cotton
in a little patch near their home,
when Robinson was seen to come out
of the woods nearby with a riflle in
one hand an-d a satchel in the other.
Seeing that he was mad about
something, the woman asked him
what was the matter. Saying, with
an oath, "don't ask me what's the
matter," he raised his gun to the
level of his waist and shot Willie
Brown, the dugbter, the bullet entering
the right side of her body
just above the waist and lodging in
her body.
Running off ten or twelve feet,
Robinson turned and shot twice at
the mother, both shots taking efTect,
on? in tho back and coming out
tb-o'igh her right breast, and the
other entering at the thigh and com- 51
ing out h&hind. Turning then, he
fled to the woods, were he met Caro- t
line Jeter, colored, who asked him
what he bad be?m shooting at. Giving
an evasive reply, he continued
his flight and has not as yet been
caught.
The coroner held an inquest over
the two bodies Tuesday afternoon, (
but from the testimony nothing was
gathered as to the cause of the shoot- j
ing. although from outside sources
it is learned that Robinson and the
younger woman had been living in f
intimate terms for some time, and j
he must have heard some reports
that aroused his jealousy, causing
him to commit the double homicide.
He has been employed in the Southern
Railway yaids at Augusta, (la.,
for the past two years, making occasional
visits to his former home
in Bath. The coroner's verdict laid
the crime at his feet.
MOZAMBIQUE DESTROYED.
City on East Coast of Africa Hit
by Terrific Cyclone.
A terrific cyclone swept over Mozambique
on the east coast of Africa
early last week, killing hundreds
and destroying practically the
entire city. The details received are
meagre, but all reports agree that
the windstorm was the fiercest ever
known on the African coast in many
years and that the death roll will
be enromous. A coast-wise steamer,
carrying 400 natives, was caught in
the cyclone off the harbor of Mozambique
and overturned, drowning all
on board.
A number of small native craft
were swamped with loss of life and
nearly every house on the three islands
in the harbor was demolished.
Mozambique, 6,000 in population,
was formerly the metropolis !
of the Portuguese possessions in Africa.
Its harbor is world famous. * i

Colored Itoy Drowned.
The State says one negro boy was '
drowned, and two others who had
gone to his assistance nearly lost
their lives Sunday afternoon while
playing in the pool just below where
the Southern Railway crosses Gill's
creek, about four miles below Col- 1
umbia. The boy who lost his life
was about 14 years of age.

A BIG CROP NEEDED
?BW ORLEANS PAPER ANALYZES
THE SITUATION.
iajrn the World Will Need More Cotton
This Year Than It Ever Did
Before.
In a comprehensive review lately
>f the cottou situation. The New Oreans
Picayune argues in favor of a
iarger production of the staple, declaring
that while the speculative
jlenient of the market is continually
idvocating short crops and hl^h prices
it 'will be a mistake for the Amercan
farmers to alloc these arguments
to militate against a l.beral
planting.
It takes this position, this paper,
which is expert in the cotton buslIPAk
Hoplnnm that th*? nrr% r\ nf tho
uist year was disastrously small and
he season ends with the shortest
risible and invisible stocks in a long
lumber of years. In the main the
deas of this paper are .harmonious
vith those of the farmers in generil
for the reason that the curtailed
iroduction of the past year admitedly
necessitates a larger yield for
he new season, in order to meet the
ictual necessities and requirements
if the world.
A big crop would sell not only
it satisfactory but at paying prices
>ec?iuse every bale of it will be
leeded. With a short crop coming
in top of the crop failure of last
;ear famine prices will be experienc d.
but as always happens under
uch conditions, profits, instead of
>eing equitably distributed, will accrue
to a comparatively few peoile,
the balance being left to suCTer
he results of disastrously smull
delds, which no amount of high
trice-: can make profitable. More*
tver, ..nother short yield coming on
op of the scarcity of the past seaion
would demoralise the spinning
ndustry of the world.
The Picayune believes, therefore,
hat there is every incentive for
arimrs to repair the damage done
jy the cotd weather of Apr P. an 1
.he backwardness of the season generally.
Nothing is to be gained by
i short crop, while a good crop is
ertain to sell at paying prices. The
mere planting of a large acreage
loes not Insure a good crop, but the
careful cultivation of a reasonable
icreage does help materially to proluce
the best results.
It would, therefore, be ill advised
to permit early discouragements
Lo cause an abondu;..* r.f *ny of
the normal cotton acreage as long
as it Is possible to replant. While
the season has been backward and
there has been a notable absence of
sufficient moisture, it is still early
enough for these adverse conditions
to change. A big cotton crop is
absolutely needed, no matter what
the speculators may say, and there
never was a time when there was
a greater certainty that a big crop
would prove profitable. *

FATAL FIGHT
One Soldier Kills Another in a Fisticuff

AFTER A HOT QUARREL
Artilleryman Accused of Striking
Another With a Chain.?His Head J
lilts Curbing and Death Ensues.
The Two Soldiers Had Had a Disagreement.
n ?
The Charleston Evening Post says
Private Fry. of Company 144, coast
artillery, at Fort Moultrie, was
knocked down In a light with another
soldier, said to be Private Murray,
and did not recover consciousness,
following the contact of his head
with the curbing in front of the
post exchange. Murray is under arrest
at the Fort and will have to
stand trial for the d^ath of Fry.
It appears that the two soldiers
were at the post exchange, and got
into an altercation over some matter
or other, and Fry ia reported to have
struck Murray with a chair, which
brought on a fight and it was proposed
to settle the difficulty outside,
after the manner of the hardy soldiers.
This was at about 8:45
o'clock. Outside the two soldiers
squared off. for their fight, and Mur- j
ray is said to have hit Fry a blow
which knocked him down, and as
he fell the soldier's head came in
contact with the curbing, and he lost
consciousness, which he did not regain.
death resulting.
The death of the soldier caused a
profound Impression among his
mates, who were astounded by the
unexpected outcome of an ordinary
fisticuff, such as is frequently indulged
in among the fighters of the various
companies. Private Murray was
plaoed under arrest after the fight x
arxi is in a serious predicament. H?.
was terribly shocked by the result
of what at first promised to be only
a trifling matter.
Little or no official information of
the affair could be gotten from Fort
Moultrie Thursday, but the story
was curr'iu on suuivan a island, and'
Fry's death gave rise to general discussion
of the trouble.
Murray, the soldier under arrest,
is of the same company as Fry was.
and is well known in Charleston,
whore he appeared in the guise of a
clever and aggressive prize fighter,
meeting Billy Yeager In the local
ring for three hard battles, before
the Nonpareil Club. It Is said that
Murray did not wi&h to fight Fry.
At the hospital on the island it
was thought that strangulation had
as much to do with Fry's death as
did the blow on .his head, for before
he fell he also received a blowto
the stomach that caused him to
vomit.

Experts Find a Fish That Destroys
Their Lan?a?.
Experts in the employ of the
united suites government declare I
that If Northern people will cultivate!
three type* ol fish known as "top
minnows/" si.nusn and goldfish, the
mosquito pe*>t will be a thing of the
past within a few years. Prof. William
P. Seal declares New York will
be rid of the bad Anopheles if her
people will cultivate the 'Gambusia
Aftlnus" and the Hebranda Formosa.'
Both of these species are'
known as "top minnows" because
they are in the habit of being near
the surface and feeding there.
Both are to be found in vast numbers
in the South in the shallow
margins of lakes, ponds and streams
in the tide water regions. They are
also to be found in shallow ditches
and surface drains, even where the
water is but a fraction of an inch
deep. They find their way to the remotest
possible breeding places of
the mosquito and eat the mosquito
larve by the million.
Prof. Seal also advises Northerens
to cultivate gold fish and two hmall
kinds of sun fish, know as the
"roach" and the "shiner/ which live
among plants. The goldfish is lazy,
but eats immense numbers of mosquito
larvae. But it is cannibalistic
The top min lows are foragers, always
