Rock Hill Herald, 10th. Another Election Necessary. Through the omission of a section providing for the opening of the books of registration in the notice of election some weeks ago for an election on tin* question of issuing bonds for the improvement of .Main street, it has been found that the election October 16 was - - ? ? J : 1..?.. law HOI onioreu III jtctuiuauvc mui ..... and another election on the question has been ordered by.council to be held December 7. The error, which was not discovered until a lew days ago, was due to an oversight in the drafting of the notice of election. Mr. T. H. Spratt has been named as supervisor of registration and all residents desiring to qualify for the approaching election will find the books open at the First National Bank between the 17th and 27th days of the present month. Captured Runaway Boy. Dave Owens, a young white boy, is again at the home of his father, Mr. Lee Owens, in upper Fort Mill township. after having spent ten days in travel as an attache of the Cole & Hie? show. Contrary to the wishes of his parents, Owens secured a job as canvas man with the show when it visit* d Fort Mill on November 1. and was o?i for other parts before the rising of the sun the following morning. Mr. and Mrs. Owens thought that tiieir son wouid soon tire of his new work and return to his home, but not so, and steps were taken to have him arrested. Accordingly, a warrant was taken out before Magistrate J. W. McElhaney and placed in the hands of Mr. VV. H. Windle, who had been specially deputized to serve the paper. Mr. Windie ?dfjt in and was there informed that the show had gone to Carlisle. Arriving in the latter town he was disappointed, as the show he was told, had gone on to I'nion. Union was next vis'sed as was also Cacolet a.:d Spartanburg. ti.sally, when it seemed that his search was to be fruitless. Mr. Winnie had the chief of police of Spartanburg telegraph the officers of nearby towns and the show was located in Hendersonville, X. C. Arriving at Hendersonville, Mr. Windie at once went to the show grounds and arrested Owens. The young man was eager to return home and stated to Mr. Windle that he had attempted to leave the show at Yorkville, but was prevented from doing so by being locked in a car. Young Owens and .Mr. Windle returned to Fort Mill Saturday. Court Says Beathe Must Die. The supreme court of appeals of the State of Virginia or, Monday denied the petition for a writ ? f error by Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.. convicted of murdering his wife near Richmond last July. This decision of the tribunal of last resort on the appeal from the judgement of the Chesterfield court, winch sentenced Beattie to die in the electric chair November 24. is final.

P Nearly a score of deaths, several p million dollars' property loss and much Ef suffering and inconvenience resulted I from the violent change of tempera- I ture, preceding storms and the sue- I ceeding cold and snow that beset the H central portion of the country Saturday P and Sunday. After an unusually warm November day Saturday, tornadic storms did much damage in Wisconsin and Illinois and killed * dozen persons besides injuring more than a score, several fatally. A cold wave, almost immediatly rolled over the wreckage of the storm, ; extended in a few hours to the Gulf coast and Atlantic seaboard. Rain ! turned to sleet, snapping telegraph and telephone wires and snow followed. The temperature dropped in several places more than sixty degrees in eighteen hours. Several persons were frozen to death I by the sudden cold, shipping on the 1 Great Lakes was damaged and several I boats were cast adrift. In some places I gas almost-failed. The poor in large I cities and th<- homeless in storm-swept I regions suffered severely. Mrs. Ardrey's Response. The Chester Reporter of Monday had I this to say of the response to the ad- I dr< ss of weltome, made by Mrs. W. B. fe Ardrev, before the meeting in Chester K : last week of the State convention of I tno D. A. R: I "The response to the address of wel- fl i come was made by Mrs. W. B. Ardrey, 11 of Fort Mili, who was introduced by I Mrs. Mayes as the Regent of one of the 1 State's baby chapters. She stated, j | however, that as some one had said | 1 that the Daughters learned to talk j * i early that Mrs. Ardrey was plenty able to meet the demand which had been made upon her. Mrs. Ardrey then ' made a short talk, telling in a clear, beautiful and concise manner, of some of the praiseworthy efforts of the noble women to preserve and conserve the , history of our country." ' . Methodist Conference at Bennettsville. j I Methodists throughout the State are I interested in the annual meeting of the t South Carolina conference of the Meth- I odist Episcopai. church. South, to be P held at 'Bennettsville November 26. : Bishop John C. Kilgo will preside. This body is composed of all the Methodist ministers of the State and four delegates of laymen from each presiding elder's district, besides the j members of the various boards, in ' whose hands are the different enterprizes of the church, such as the col- | leges, missions, education, church extension, etc. There will also be pres- i ent many representatives of the connectionai interests of the church as | i visitors, making an attendance of about I 500. At this conference the reports of all the pastoral charges are received, i ri;_ character and administration of the j ! preachers passed upon, and new work formulated for another year. Indeed, [ every phase of church work is care- | ' fully discussed and planned for. One of the most important pieces of ' work done is the adjustment of pastors I and presiding elders to the different charges arid appointments made for the next twelve months. This work is the i prerogative of the presiding bishop, i who counsels with the presiding elders fe in daily meetings during the conference. I There are usually about the same per- I centage of pastoral changes each year. ' This year there will be nine of the 12 presiding elders, whose term limit of four years expires, and who will, there- . fore, have to move. Candidate Jones No Aristocrat. i Among the matters touched upon in his first speech, since announcing his ' I candidacy for governor, Chief Justice I Ira li. Jones at Walterboro last Thurs- u day s|)oke concerning the report that ** he had been called an aristocrat. He ? is quoted as having said that some Jg folks had that impression, since he was chief justice of the State, and that he was not in sympathy with the working jg man. Declaring that his father moved Go i to Columbia to learn the carpenter's ! he trade, and that his mother had labored ' no with her hands, thereby making a living t0. for herself, and that he himself had W1 , landed in Lancaster with a wife and ^ baby and ten dollars in his pocket (and ^ri that was borrowed money) the speaker 'p^ said if there ever was a man who had be: sprung from the toilers, and who had rei himself had to struggle for a living, set he was that man. ^r Reduced Acreage Best Plan. Reduction of acreage and establish- '>,c ment of bureaus to furnish accurate crop information are considered the W be>i method of lighting low cotton prices. according t< the opinion of J. (i. Anderson, founder ai d president of the Rock Hili lluggy company, who for 25 rn? years iias had an intimate acquaintance Ai with cotton movements. he .Mr. Anderson is inclined to look on the cotton holding movement as a tie- J,? lusion and a snare. When cotton prices J, rose, as a result of holding, the temptation to produce a big crop would prove p>| too great, and the next crop would swamp the market, he believes. "Now, don't understand me as arguing against holding cotton off the market as a means of stimulating the price. That is business intelligence, and the producers should be in position to do this at any time. 1 "Holding as u means of avoiding bv glutting the market is an important ve wv ap >11, and iieo ary, and we should ty\ i have tiiis in goo : condition for use ,u whenever its services are needed. But ai it can not be relied upon as the only, ^ or even the most im|K>rta:it, weapon. "The only cure is reduction of acre- pjj age, and a ousiness-uke tight every year al i to keep acreage within such bounds be as wouid insure decent prices."
