CAN PRACTICE NO L0N6ER,
SAYS STATE SUPREME COURT
Barnard B. 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.
Carhartt Mill Chartered.
A charter has been granted
the Hamilton Carhartt Manufacturing
Company, of Rock
Hill, and books were opened for
subscription. May 1. This new
concern will have a capital stock
of $100,000, $40,000 of which
will be common stock the remainder
will be preferred and
interest at the rate of 7 percent.
The incorporators are E. R.
Partridge, Hamilton Carhartt,
Wylie W. Carhartt, and Hamilton
Carharbt, Jr., and the comI
pany will do a general working
i man's clothes manufacturing busI
iness. 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.

,/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

Few Children in the Kills.
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.
