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

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.

Clay Beattie, Jr.. convicted of murdering
his wife near Richmond last July.

clemency or reprieve by Governor Mann
can save the condemned man.

k
Cold Wave Wrought Havoc. 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." Rock tr
Hill Spiciai to The State. j

Beetles Destroy Trees. Ft
Far greater destruction to the pine m
trees of the South is being done by the
pine beetle than could result from
forest tires, according to the United
Stales bureau of entomology. Investigations
by that bureau ot the Depart
merit ol Agriculture show that a "vast >'*'
amount of timber has been killed by '
the southern pine beetle during the
past two years." The agents of the N*i
bureau have been particularly active in al
, studying the character and extent 01 in
these depredations since the establish- 1,1
inent several inontns ago of an insect
