He recalled cash ing a <fi*aft on September 15, 1906 for Henry Samuels. The ledger showing the transaction was produe ed, and after objection by defence that ground had not been laid for Introduction of secondary evidence Mr. Gage was allowed to testify to what he knew. He stated that h gave Mr. Samuels 11,125 for th< draft. "What did Mr. Samuels do with It!" asked Mr. Abney. "He gave part of it to Mr. Wylie. ' “How do you know that?” “Out of Idle curiosity, I marked s $100 bill, the lower hill of the $100 bills I gave him." The package I got from the safe contained ten hundred dollar bills.

Rather than loan his former wife $500, which would have kept her from going to prison, Jacob Firkel. a brewer, saw her sentenced to the penitentiary for two years at Cleve land, Ohio, Monday. Sentence was suspended, and Mrs. Picket's son will attempt to raise the money and save his mother. Mrs. Flckel embeztled $593.76 from the estate of Bertha Rosen- tardt. while acting as guardian to 'the woman last winter. She waf convicted, bu( Judge VTckory told Mrs. Flckel she could go free If she wonld repay the money. Mrs. Pick ers son tried to raise the money but failed. “Any man who Is half a man wot^BC much *£ is aHk- bis eks in Baffin s nled herself and companion from Wilmington, N.

Her companion was a veteran of the civil war. a member of the crew of the Harvest Moon, of Farragut'j fleet, which was blown up by a tor- pedo and sunk in Wlnyah Bay. The old soldier made the trip to George town for the purpose of viewing the remains of the old ship, a portion of which is still above water, a monu ment to the failure of the Federal gunboats to enter Georgetown har- l>or. The party went to Georgetown, spent the while-tfle ship was In port in viewing the sights, and together expected to return North. The Granger did not rhow up aboard 'he steamer when she sailed, but s man named Hiram Newman, who stated that he had formerly been s '>arl>er at Rosemary, -took passage 'or New York, telling the captain that the missing man had spent •he previous night with him, and sent word that he was not ready to 'eave: that he would join the ship at Wilmington. It is reported now that there were some suspicious circumstances at ‘ending the case. The neck of the Downed man was swollen abnor mally, and there were purple marks •bout the throat that might denote Possible strangulation. On board the hip it was noticed that the man car- led a small wallet with money In it. He was known to have had at least $60 upon his person. Only p few pennies were found upon the oerson of the wronged man; there fore, It Is possible that the man was robbed and murdered, and the body thrown overboard.

Y.. Democrst and Chronicle and also the fact that it had failed to aay something very ugly about the matter The remarks of The News and Courier were In the nature of a chal lenge, which has been accepted by the New Haven Register with the declaration that there is something to say about Jefferson Davis and his admission to the National Temple of Fame, and It should be said. It Is high time, the Roglst-.r asserts 'hat “the mist which 'c half a co;. fury has distorted the North’s vle»\ of this son of the South shottld be r eared away," and that the man who In his day suffered more than sm other Southerner for the cause In which he believed, should “cease to Ire reekoned a coward and a traitor and esteemed for what he was—a brave, true Southern gentleman.” To this statement the Now Haven Register adds the following eloquent tribute to Mr Davis: ‘ But the South will never ceas< to admire and honor the man of iron nerve, of dauntless courage, of ceaseless loyalty, of unsullied honor, of tireless energy, of peerless chiv alry. who suffered and dared and all but died for the cause he loved and lost. Of that host of true men who gave their best and their all for the Confederacy because in their deepest hearts they believed they were doing right, none were more sincere than he. Of that multitude who lined up for the struggle agalnrt their brothers of the North, none was braver and none waa nobler. His sacrifice was as extreme as it was sincere, and his treatment by the victors after the crash came was sore medicine for a heart that was breaking “It is a century and a year since Jefferkon Davis was born. D 'is near to half a century since his cause was lost. It is twenty years since his death.

The following account of the trip is taken from the Charleston Evening Post: The launch was in charge of Capt. M S. Sullivan, and Lieut, of Police John Steencken was the orgaaixer of the party on the trip. The occu pants of the cutter launch were as glad to tie up at the wharf as were their relatives and frieids who had grown fearful and anxious for their safety. Once the Ethel had made past the tow line Monday mornisg to the launch, stuck In the marsh of Morris Island, the occupants- of the boat felt better and saw that it was only a matter of time when they would be safely landed, but still having been out all night without food and water, tired and sick, with out having slept and wtih the nerves of the women badly strained by the adventures of the night, only the act ual docking of the launch satisfied the majority of the party and the sigh of relief could almost be heard for a block when the party alight ed on the pier. Leaving the custom house wharf Sunday morning about 10 o’clock It was the intention of the party to spend the day In a picnic on the wa ters of the harbor, returning dur ing the afternoon hours. The trip had passed enjoyable, although the water was a little rough. During the afternoon, however, the wind freshened and the water became choppy, the rain set in and every indication was given of worse con dltions to follow. Capt. Sullivan saw that he must beat it to the chan nei and the boat was turned from th< sound between Morris Island and lames Island for Coming's Point The weather thickened and to add to the troubles. Capt. Sullivan found that one of the phtons was out of order, and he had to work along with the other. It was not long before both were in trouble, and Capt. Sullivan found himself In the open sea which was running high, with the boat show ing a tendency to drift upon the wall of the channel and perhaps go to pieces. The anchor was dropped for a time, and Capt. Sullivan endeavor ed to repair the trouble. He thought that he had it corrected, and when he attempted to run the machinery he found that it was still disabled The sea was running so nigh that he could do little in his present position, and he endeavored with the use of a pole, the running of the tide and i piece of sail to get Into a more fav orable position for repair work. He got into a better position, and an investigation disclosed the fact that the bead of one of he pistons had cracked and the letting In of wa ter was the cause o' the trouble. ,, _ -f •**— Guaranm*. af.ivcihalter and R. a i.»~ihe SMALL COTTON CROP iouthern States Supply BUY FROM Cl _ Machinery Supplies Plumblna OOt-UMBIA. 8.

This conjunction of an overwhelming need with insufficient supplies is fraught with tremendous possibili ties for profit or toss of profit to the producer and of menace to the cotton industry. Whether the issue from this crisis shall be fortunate or unfortunate, whether the produnar shall realize his rightful profit, or shall fail to use or misuse his present advan tage. and whether the spinning in dustry shall go through this year of shortage with the minimum of in convenience or the maximum of demoralization, will depend upon one important particular, namely: the distribution of the crop. With the producer and those who help him abides the power to regulate the dis tribution and to shape the result. It Is. a large advantage thus pos sessed and a grave responsibility thus entailed. If the power is em ployed unwisely, or wasted in spas modic efforts to “squeeze" the buy ers nt' fo a predetermined price, not only will the producer fail to realize ♦ he maximum of the present benefit, but he will heltt to cripple the man ufacturing industry and curtail its eapacifv for future consumption. If the power js left unused, and the producer, dazzled by the present unexpectedly high prices, rushes his cotton to market, he will inaugurate a movement which sunseqiient pro duce can not arre-d, and will re neat the time-old mistakes of sell ing the bulk of h’s crop at the time when the price Is at the lowest of the year. If the power is emnloyed wisely, the producer will distribute 'he supply of cotton as evenly as nofsthle over the year, and thus rea lize for his entire crop the highest price that an eager demand can pay, and at the same time keep the de mand presently active and keen for future supplies. In other and more fruitful years when the yield has been great and .the demand relatively pmall. (the farmer has been compelled to accept for his crop whatever he could get. even though the rreturn was le c s than the cost of production. When he complained at his lot, he has been reminded by opulent philoso phers, that price is regulated by the law of supply and demand, and that if he made more cotton than was needed, he must bear the burden. In this suggestion there is truth But a good rule must work both ways. The law of supply and demand must be permitted to work for the farmer as well as against him. If he has to accept a low price when he makes too much, he should re ceive a correspondingly high price when he makes too little. If the consumer profits by over-production the farmer should profit by over- temand. There is no divine right in the consumer to always make the profit, nor is there any justice In the apparently generally enteijj^in^ .ex pectation that the pw J iaAHckens ways sustain th If r* , - - h ( Acts Geuerj ■IjiJMmkUtai'ome on (be Co’- * , ~iy>nKT«tul«ted httn on his birtfK ... aiisi thanked him for the influence of his life he had lived in Spartanburg, which the speaket of the occasion. J. Stobo Simpson, i^sq., declared had been uplifting to the young men and men of mature years as well. years. Plans based upon general agreements have failed because, in the first place, it has not been pos sible to secure the convenant of all planters, and. in the second place, because self-interests placed a pre- ! mium upon the breaking of the agreement. ^The plan In view is not dependent upon covenant or agree ment, but is self-executory, the main spring of Its operation being self- interest. » it will profit the men who use it, even though others do not use it. It is simple, but effective, and is this: Let the producer of cotton market ten per cent of his crop each moath for ten months. An instant of re flection will convince any thoughtful man that whether the crop so mar keted be large or small, and whether a hundred planters or a hundred thousand employ the method, the result will be hotter than if the crop was sold at once, or the attempt made to hold it all. If the plan is good 'or one planter, it is good for all, aad if all, or aay great number of planters adopt it, the problem of marketing the crop is solved. But it will lie objected to by some that the farmers' reeds are too press ing and that he canaot meet his ob ligation by veiling ten per cent of his crop In September, ten per cent ia October and so on. Alone and unaided he can come nearer doing this now than he could heretofore, because he has made this crop on a more economical basis than ever before and owes less. After this year it will he easier still, because he has himself largely made his staple supplies for another year and lieeause in the near future he will have a great central public ware house In which he will be able to borrow money at a very low- rate of Interest. But even now the farmer is not alone ia the fight Every hanker aad merchant and landowner in the Sou'h l c . or should be, with him. If the cotton crop could be market ed evenly through ten months, in stead of unevenly in three or four, hank stocks would enhance in value, the merchants business would ex pand and become more profitable; lands would yield more' in rental and In sales, and the South would receive each year the addition of many millions of dollars to its wealth.
