Bomar, a Spartanburg attorney, a few days ago purchased at auc tion a steam railroad with ten rpiles of right of way, one locomotive, one combination baggage and express car, two passenger cars, two warehouses and other appurtenances. It was the Glenn 1 Springs railroad, running from Roebuck to Glenn Springs, in Spartanburg county, and was sold by the receiver. It is almost a certain thing that Dorchester county will hold an election on the question of dispensary or no dispensary when the time for the election comes next August.

Evans is indefinitely suspended from the practice | of law and deprived of the rights and duties of an attorney, with the right of moving at the end of two years for reinstatement upon satisfactory proof that he has not used intoxicating liquors for two years. This was the unanimous verdict of the Supreme Court Friday afternoon. The opinion was written by Acting Chief Justice Woods and concurred by Associate Justice ; Hydrick, Watts and Frazer and Special Associate Justice Nichols. That B. B. Evans endorsed 1 and misappropriated to his own use a check lor $189.90 belonging to George L. Salter, which he had secured for Salter as his attorney, and that he misapplied to his own use money which he had collected fo?* the Murray Drug Company from J. E. Dowling were conclusions reached by i .. j nit: uuuri. The charges which Evans made against B. W. Crouch and E. W. Able, attorneys of Saluda that they were "thieves, incendiaries land blind tigers" and against ] Sheriff Sample of Saluda that he was a "thief," the court held were false and recklessly made.

The Carhartt mill is the l^^one in the entire country as is known that takes I raw cotton from the field and i converts it into the finished gar I ment without leaving the building. Our Cotton Rivals. England has sounded to the Southern cotton growers another warning calculated to make them , wake up from the easy dream I that they are forevor to hold a | monopoly of supplying civilizaI tion with cotton. Preliminary | arrangements have been made to I spend $15,000,000 in subsidizing 1 cotton culture in the Soudan, where it is already far beyond the experimental stage. The reason given by the British authorities is that England wants a supply of the staple independent of America. It is true that previous attempts to supplant American cotton have been only partially successful. But the ventures now going forward in the Soudan, in India and in other parts oi me woria are sigmncant. The South is by peculiar grace of nature fitted to furnish civilization its main supplies of the fiber. But to keep supremacy we must prove ourselves able to meet all | competition. That can be done | by abopting only the most ; scientific methods, by improving i the selection of seed, by lower; ing the cost of production, and, ! in self-defense, by diversification. The process that will retain the South's commanding position in the cotton world will bring new riches to the section. Will McDonald Pardoned. Governor Blease on Saturday pardoned two white men and paroled a white man and one negro. Among those pardoned was Will McDonald, white, convicted at the November, 1905, term of court for York county, i of robbery, and sentenced to two years and six months imprisonment upon the public works or in the State penitentiary. The pardon was strongly recommended by the board of pardons, upon the recommendation of prominent officials and citizens. The petitioner has recently been appointed a constable in York county, and desired pardon in i order to perform his duties as I such. ! CATAWBA RANGERS FLAG IS RECOQNIZED. ! J. C. Hudson of the Confederate home, a member of the "Catawba Rangers," saw the picture I of the flag published in yester' day's paper and supposed to be the flag of that company, and said yesterday that, according to his recollection, the flag is the same, says Monday's State. "The 'Catawba Rangers'" he said, "was organized in Lancaster and was first commanded by , Capt. James D. Mcllwain. At I reorganization in 1862 William^. Mcllwain was elected captain. His health failing, he resigned and J. C Foster was promoted to j captain, and so continued until i the end of the war. I was a member of the Catawba Rangers, and I know that the name of the company was peculiar to the company of which I was one of the first members. I do not recollect the name of Pnnt R-ih_ ber's company, but it was in our , command and was raised on the j west side of the Catawba river in Chester and Fairfield counties." I It will be remembered that in \ Saturday's paper it was stated , that it was thought that the flag of the Catawba Rangers had been found in California. It was further stated that the Catawba Rangers was Capt. Babber's company. Mr. Hudson's statements show this to have been an error. Samuel F. Massey, who, when a resident of Fort Mi|l, prepared a roll of the Catawba Rangers, which was published in the Lancaster Review of October 25, 1899, said yesterday that he was indeed glad that the flag had apparently been located and was glad that Mr. DeLoach was taking such an active interest in the matter. The second captain of the ! Catawba Rangers was William J. Mclllwain. H. G. Mclllwain, his son, a resident of Columbia, j said yesterday: "I remember well j that the ntpne of my father's 1 company was the Catawba Rangers, and that he was instru1 mental in the organization of Lnai, company, wnicn was raised ! in Lancaster county." Monument to Dr. Sims. In Bryant Park, New York, there is a monument, said to be the first erected to the memory of a physician in America, and one of the. few existing in the world. This memorial bears the name of J. Marion Sims, of South Carolina, a graduate of the Medical College of So.;th Caro' lina, which institution, from its seat in Charleston, has sent out many great and eminent doctors who made themselves distinguished in their profession throughout the entire country. The inscription on this monument. is *\T Marinn f?imc M T1 LLD., Founder of the Woman's Hospital of the State of New York." His brilliant achievements carried the fame of American surgery throughout I the civilized world. In recogj nition of his services in the cause i of science and mankind, he re| ceived the highest honors in the ; gift of his countrymen and | decorations from the Govern' ments of France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium and Italy. I ^ South Carolinians Appointed. During the last week Presinent Wilson sent to the Senate a large batch of nominations, among which were the following for South Carolina: Collectors of customs, Frederick C.

' Masaey's Drug Store and Ardreyi Drug Store. a ? ^ A Vf A 4/AU. I ,/T STRONG JlRQUMENT FQR THE FARMER. It is far better to grow the things that will earn the most money and that can be converted into cash the quickest, than it is to continue, even though you1 need certain things, to grow them at a loss when something else, thajt would occupy your time woqld make a far greater profit. For instance, if a person has land that will only make 100 bushels 1 of corn per acre and his needs call for a larger amount of corn, it is folly for him to continue to grow corn when on the same land he could grow potatoes that would produce probably 300 bushels per acre that would bring just as much per bushel as the corn with practically the same labor. As you can readily see, he could buy three bushels of corn for the same money and the same efforts he was producing one bushel. This same thing applies to the man who is raising horses, cattle, hogs or poultry. How much more profitable and how much more satisfactory it is 1 for him to produce animals or fowls when he knows he can do so and has a market for them that will readily sell for three times as much money as some-1 thing he is wasting his time on that will only bring one-third the price. This is being done by I probably 75 per cent, of the peo-1 pie in the United States. Not only with their farming operations and their breeding operations, but in many walks of life. How often do we see a man ! cultivating 100 acres of land to produce the same amount of bush_i_ - i? ? 1 eis ui products that probably his neighbor is getting off one-third | the number of acres. When we see and know these things, it is folly for us to continue further. It is by far better for us to wipe out and start over anew, get right, start with the right kind of founbalion, and while it looks foolish to throw away or make a sacrifice of work that has already been done, it is far more profitable in the end to make a change and get started right and reach goal so much quicker by doing so. If every man set his ideal and start out to do a certain thing, if he will be patient and work to that end, it will come to him almost before he knows it, and in the last years of life usually success will crown his efforts, and at a time when it is most needed he will have something that will make him independent and be lasting to the end. But there are few people who think of this in the beginning. It is one of me causes ot the hard struggles I that continue year by year by ! many and at the end of time | find many people no better off | than they were ih the beginning. ; A wrong start or a wrong begin| ning will surely keep one workI ing everlastingly, but a right j foundation and a right start in I life cannot help but mean suc| cess and profit and happiness in i the end. Look around you and ! j see for yourself people who have stuck to their ceratin purpose, 1' and in nine cases out of ten you i will find these people independ 1 ent and well fixed to bridge the storm during their late days of life. ?Loring Brown in Atlanta Journal.

After visiting: the cotton mills throughout the State the factory inspectors have submitted the following: report to the State department of agriculture: "Upon our recent visit to thq different mills of the State, we find that the mills in general are in a better condition than during the previous year. "The superintendents report I that the schools have had a good year and a full attendance; we find a tendency among the mill authorities to encourage school attendance as much as possible. This and the tendency of the mills to chance from ?r? fine work are gradually decreaseing the number of children in the mills. The improvement in sanitary conditions is very gratifying. The mills are fairly well supplied with operatives. "The Hamilton-Carhartt mills, Rock Hill; the Vardy cotton mills, Greenville. and the Conneross yarn mill, Anderson, employ no children under 14 years of age." Honor the Confederate Dead.

The Memorial exercises held at Flint Hill last Saturday were enjoyed by everyone present.

Blankenship formed the veterans in line, gave the rebel yell, and then marched on to the grave yard, where flowers were .1 i - ' piaceti on t he graves of those who gave their lives for so threat a cause.
