LADY MAIL CARRIER.
She Does the Work as Well as Any
Man Could.
During the absence of Mr. Sam
Power, who is now enjoying his annual
15-day vacation, his place as
carrier on R. F. D. route No. 1 is
being taken and filled acceptably in
+ every way by his sister, Miss Geraldine
Power. Two years ago she was
selected by Mr. Power as his substitute,
and was given the appointment
won the recommendation of Postmas.
ter John R. Cochran.
When the carriers went out on the
routes Tuesday morning Miss Power
drove a big black mule, and she was
not the least bit timid about managing
him She tripped lightly into
the buggy after placing the pouch of
mail and set off on the 25-mile journey,
in a brisk trot. She knows the
route well, and she is also well known

Route No. 4 winds in the direction
of Portman Shoals and is some 25
miles in length, but Miss Power
makes the trip, delivering all mails,
and returned to the office here in the
afternoon sometimes before any of
the carriers have put in appearance.
The postoffice people say she is one
of the very best cariers in the service.
Mr Power is spending his vacation
on his farm, just outside the western
limits of the city, and does not feel
the least anxiety as to the service
his patrons on Route No. A will receive
during his absence. Miss Power
has served them before and they
know her and appreciate her efforts.

FAILURES FOR SIX MONTHS.
jsKjvt ;
*' ;s
South Carolina's Showing Particularly
Good.
Commercial failures in the United
Viino mnntha pn dine
OldlCd UU1 Illg UtUV AUVA* VAAV
September 30 were 11,946 in number
and $179,677,523 in amount of defaulted
indebtedness, according to
statistics complied by R. G. Dun &
Co. In the corresponding months of
V 190? there were 8,090 failures, and
the amount involved was $116,036,348.
Manufacturing failures were
, v 2,862 in number and $79,140,431 in
amount, against 1954 similar suspensions
last year, with liabilities of
$62,783,957. There were 8,630 tradV.
" ing defaults for $72,810,227, against
5,878 failures in this clas% last year
for $39,893,927. Other commercial
failures numbered 454 and involved
$27,726*865, against 258 for $13,358,464
in 1907. Banking and other
fiduciary concerns suspended to the
number of 147 with liabilities of
/ ' $116,108,661, against 29 banking
failures for $12,945,669 last year.
As to number and amount, failures
have been above normal, but there
are many evidences that the season
of liquidation is nearing an end, the
latest figures showing improvement
* ': over those of months early in the
year and the recovery is especially
j);' noteworthy in respect to the number
of failures. Thus, the first three
months of 1908 recorded 4,909 commensal
failures, the 2nd quarter 3,800
and the past 3 months only 3,227.
? ; At this rate of improvement there is
- good reason to hope that the last
quarter of the year will be about nor
mal, and will certainly show a gratifying
decrease in both number and
-.. amount of liabilities when comparison
is made with the corresponding
three months la^t year. It is also
proper to take in .o consideration the
r * ?a/ii,no otinn ViDS hflfi to
ldt'l mat i^vuyvi uvivu mv.v
Combat the additional handicap of
> the national elec ion. Recent returns
of liabilities have tended to
show more decre? se in comparison
% with earlier figures, if allowance is
fzr . made for the few exceptionally large
suspensions, notably one in flour mill:
* ing, and another one in fish, while
fk speculative disasters have also been
heavy, although disturbing the current
of legitimate business a very
jpV little, if any.
At the South liabilities were about
$14,000,000, or almost 100 per cent.
. v larger than the previous year, and
the increase in number was 750. Yet
even in this section there were four
States recording smaller liabilities
namely, Delaware, the District of
Columbia, North Carolina and South
Carolina. Only two of these states,
Delaware and South Carolina, reported
fewer failures and the increase in
liabilities in Maryland was $2,300,000
and in Tennessee $2,600,000,
while many other States supplied a
difference of about $1,000,000 and in
Georgia the increase was over 100
per cent, or about $2,350,000. The
_ three Southwestern States recorded
an increase of over $4,000,000, or almost
exactly 100 per cent., and the
number of failures was 477 larger.
These increases were about evenly
shared by ail tnree states.

Couldn't Resist Lady.
Solicitor P. T. Hildebrand, of Orangeburg,
refused to recommend the
pardon of J. M. Way, who shot and
killed a young man named Palmer.
In his letter to Governor Ansel he
said:
"Mnny of the good people who have
signed Way's petition have been to)
me and said they could not resist the
temptation to sign the application for
pardon for two reasons, that it was
presented by his daughter, a grown i
young lady of quite handsome ap-j
pearance, yet knowing on many oc-|
v casions he would whip her with a
} "huggv whip and beat his wife."
Recalling two other instances in j
which Way served sentences for kill-;
ings and pointing out how he was a
man of ungovernable temper. Mr.
Hildebrand says: ,
"I will say nothing of the threats
made by him against his wife and
against the prosecuting attorney in
case of liberation. I lay little stress
oil the vapid threats of a man sucn
f as he is, but I respectfully submit he
is not a proper person to be turned
loose in a community of law-abiding;
citizens." ;
The presiding judge also strongly
endorsed the petition with an adverse
recommendation.

COURT STOPS ELECTION
CHIEF JUSTICE POPE ISSUES ORDER
IN LAURENS CASE.
Question of New Registration May
Prevent Election on "Dispensary"
or "No IWspensary."
Laurens, Oct. 7.?An order from
Chief Justice Y. J. Pope, calling upon
the managers of the general election
to appear in Columbia, October 17,
and show cause why they should not
be restrained from holding an election
on the dispensary question, was
received here this a.ternoon.
Such an order was, in a measure,
expected here, since it has been
known that parties interested have
been active in the matter of preventing
the question of "dispensary" or
no dispensary" coming before the
people.
Upon a petition signed by Messrs.
J. W. Little, L. A. Armstrong, and
M. L. Nash, individually and as members
of the board of control of the
Laurens county dispensary, attorneys
for the petitioners secured this order
from Judge Pope against Messrs. C.
D. Barksdale, A. C. Owings and Conway
Dial, who comprise the board of
managers of the general election.
The order says:
"That the respondents, C. D. Barksdale,
A. C. Owings and Conway Dial,
election commissioners and county
board of canvassers for the county
of Laurens, in the State aforesaid, do
show cause before this court, if any
they have, on the 17th day of October,
or so soon thereafter as counsel
can be heard at Columbia, why they
should not be restrained and enjoined
proceeding further the order of
the supervisor of Laurens county,
dated September 30, 1908, ordering
an election to vote upon the question
of 'for sale' or 'against sale' of alcoholic
liquors and beverages; why
they should not be restrained and enjoined
from appointing managers to
conduct said special election, and
providing boxes and tickets at the
polls on the 3rd day of November,
1908, for the purpose of holding said
special election, or from doing anything
in the matter of holding said
election; why the said C. D. Barksdale,
A. C. Owings and Conway Dial
should not be restrained and enjoined
from organizing as a county board
of canvassers to canvass the returns
and declare the results of the said
^1 X. 2 1 iL ~ /x#
eiecuuu uraereu uy iuc suycivisui wi
Laurens county to be held on the 3rd
day of November, 1908, for the purpose
of voting upon the question of
'for sale' or 'against sale' of alcoholic
liquors and beverages in the
county of Laurens, State aforesaid.
Let a copy of this order, together
with a copy of this petition, be forthwith
served upon each of the respondents
to this action.
(Signed) "Y. J. POPE,
"Chief Justice.
"Dated at Newberry, S. C., this the
7th day of October, A. D. 1908."
The petition upon which the order
was secured sets forth that under the
constitution of 1905 there must be a
reenrollment of the voters every 10
years and that an act by the legislature,
passed March 9,1896, orders the
first general reenrollment under the
constitution to be done in the year
1896, and further provides that the
next enrollment shall be in the year
1908, thus making two years in excess
of the time provided by the constitution.
The petition sets forth
that the petition upon which the supervisor
orered the election was not ,
signed by one-fourth of the qualified
electors of the county, as is provided
for and required by the act of the
legislature of February 16, 1907, in
that the books of registration were
not open when the petition calling
for the election was filed, hence the
signers nf the netitiori that was sub
mitted to the supervisor was not
signed by any qualified electors, according
to the act. The third ground
upon which the order was secured is
the allegation that the supervisor ir;
ordering the election provides, for
only one box in which to deposit the
ballots both "for" and "against"
should be deposited.
Upon these thr$e points is based
the argument for the order. An affidavit,
signed by Mr. M. L. Nash, is
attached to the order and the petition'
in it. Mr. Nash makes oath "to his
own knowledge the allegations contained
in the petition" are true and
correct.
LIBERALS SELECT TICKET.
Former South Carolinian Heads Party
Launched at Atlanta.
Chattanooga, Tenn., Oct. 8.?The
Liberal party held its first National
Convention to nominate candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency
of the United States and adopt
a platform. The following nominations
were made:
For President, Sidney C. Tapp, of
Atlanta.
For Vice President, John Maddox,
of Minnesota. 4
The platform adopted advocates
woman suffrage, the initiative and re
ferendum, the separation of Churcn
and State, direct taxation, the preservation
of the National and State
Governments in their constitutional
limitations and denounces the methods
and practices of the dominant
political parties.
Mr. Maddox was also selected as
chairman of the national executive
committee.
The Convention was not largely
attended, many delegates sending
their views in letters. Although the
leaders had emphasized the fact that
the party is the champion of woman
suffrage not a woman was present.
The meeting was held behind closed
doors.
A lot of new stationery, blank
books, school supplies, office supplies,
school books, etc., received this week
at The Herald Book Store.
Sir Walter Hilyer has been appointed
expert adviser to the Chinese government.
Sir William was born in
China of English parents and is a

once said that he spoke and wrote
Chinese as well as the most highly
educated mandarin.
