BADGERING COUPLE FINED. Tried to "Frame Up" Granitevill< Couple, But Were Unsuccessful. Columbia. Oct. 9.?A well-dressec couple, giving their names as Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Smith, and their alleged victim, a sheet metal worker on his way to Charleston from New Orleans and who gave the police the fictitious name of J. C. Jones, were before the recorder Saturday morning as a result of an alleged attempl on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Smith to badger Mr. Jones out of $50 al the Columbia hotel Friday night Mr. and Mrs. Smith were fined $20 each and Jones had to pay a fine oi "" A *? 4~ ri-ifVi VTre $ I u lor goxug iu tuc uuiti nuu Smith and registering Mr. and Mrs Jones. Jones said he met Smith on the street and they had some beer together and when he told him a hard luck story he let him have $2 out of a roll of $48.00 he had. Smith proposed that they go to the hotel and meet Mrs. Smith and a little latei the three went out and drank some together. Smith left on some errand and Jones and the woman went back to the hotel and registered as Mr. and Mrs. Jones. They went to the Smith room and in about three-quarters of an hour Smith came in, greatly outraged. He demanded $50 for his wounded feelings, drawing a big knife. Jones says he told him tnai v he could not pay this. Jones defended himself as best he could while Smith slashed at him, cutting his ear. Mrs. Smith told the recorder that she had not passed as Mrs. Jones, but that was the name she gave at police headquarters. She also denied that anything was said about money when Smith came into the room, but Smith had already admitted that he demanded $50 as compensation for his wounded feelings. A couple sitting on a back seat in the court room were several times referred to in the evidence, and after trying the Smith-Jones case the recorder called the couple up to know what part they had in the affair. The couple gave their names as Mr. and Mrs. Amos Arnold, of Graniteville. Mrs. Arnold is related to a number of people in Edgefield. She said that Mrs. Smith had proposed that she go to Charleston with Jones, but that she had indignantly repelled the sugIgestion. The recorder was satisfied and dismissed them. z Mills of the World to Curtail. Boston, Oct. 9.?A gigantic movement born of unrest of long standing is in progress throughout the leading * /tistointc nf + Vi o TOfirlrt CUltUil ICAtllC UIOIIIV/IO VI vav .? V* -v., looking towards a general curtailtment of production during the remaining months of the year and in 1910. c The principal reasons advanced for { the movement are the gradual increase in the cost of the raw. material and the failure of the dry goods markets to respond in a way which would ? assure continued profits to manufacjj| v' turers during the next twelve months. On September 15th, the Arkwright Club, of Boston, representing 14,000,000 out of the 17,000,000 spindles in New England, sent out to all the cotton mills in this district the ocrvaamant frtp Cltrng. XUi lila X/X XUC a^l^iuvuv 'VI ??s tures for a curtailment. The propojf sition calls for a suspension of work rC for 224 working hours, the agreement to become effective when no gj| less than 7,000,000 spindles have S been signed up. i: 4 The curtailment has also been jtaken up by the Southern cotton mill gp-f owners. Yesterday the Board of f-/, * Governors of the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association at Charlotte adopted resolutions setting { forth their claim that the present disparity between the price of cotton and cotton goods precludes the possibility of the successful operation of the Southern mills. A committee was appointed to for||si' ; mulate a curtailment agreement which every mill in the South will be k urged to sign. Tr? r?ortnin or?ttr?r? nrndnfMne and ! selling centers the claim is made that ? the present curtailment movement is .rlargely an attempt to hold down the price of the staple. Jp; r; } Advice to Hunters. * c Already the hunters are looking around for dogs and rubbing up their guns. According to the law, the perP son hunting, fishing or roaming over | the lands of another without permission is a trespasser. Ignorance is no excuse. The plea only aggravates the offense. If farmers want birds killed, they will no doubt invite some of their gunning friends to do it when the season opens. Do not hunt on lands of others without permission. Never carry a loaded gun while riding in a buggy or vehicle. When the day's hunting . is over take out the cartridges. If birds are abundant do not kill them all at once. There was a good citi. zen of another county that was fond of hunting. He estimated the number of birds actually needed by the family for their dinner. When he bagged that number not another one would he shoot, even if one attempted to bite him. If a farmer notifies you that he t' wishes no shooting on his premises do not sass him, but ask bis pardon, act the gentleman and get c I in such a god humor that you will have his respect. Farmer Killed at Ginnery. - ? ? ** - ./ * TTT KOCK ?1111, UCt. 8.?Mr. ueo. w. Browne, a prominent and well-to-dc farmer of this county, living in the River Bend section, east of this city was so badly injured at his ginnerj this morning about 8 o'clock that he died a short while afterwards. It is not known just how the accident occurred, but Mr. Browne was around the engine and it is supposed there being no ODe else near at the time, that his clothing got caught ir gine and he was whirled around the gine and he was whirlled around the shafting, possibly several hundred times before he was discovered, anc I the engine stopped. When taken oul both legs were found to be brokei and he was badly injured otherwise Drrs. Fennell and Stevens, of this city were hurried to his home in automobiles and rendered every service possible but to no avail. S I ORANGEBURG YOUTH MISSING. s Searching for Young Man Who Disappeared Sunday. * Orangeburg, Oct. 6.?Mr. George | Dantzlei, of the Elloree section of 1 this county, arrived in the city Mon5 day afternoon in search of his 19' year-old son, David Dantzler, who is i missing and who has been traced as 5 far as this city. The young man came to Orangeburg Saturday and secured * lodging at one of the local boarding 1 houses for that night, but early Sun- i - day morning he was missing at the j * boarding house and has not been ' seen since. The young man left his home while His father was in Columbia. He told his mother that he was going to In-i dian Field camp meeting near St. George with some boys. He left the ; house Saturday and not returning on 1 Monday the father immediately began to search. Upon investigation it ' was learned that the boy had not ; been to camp meeting as thought. The police are working on the case ! and will endeavor to locate the boy. As yet no clue as to his whereabouts has been found. The Bed-Rock of Success . lies in a clean, clear brain, backed by indomitable will and a resistless ener; gy. Such power comes from the splendid health that Dr. King's New Life Pills impart. They vitalize every i organ and build up brain and body. J. A. Harmon, Lizemore, W. Va., writes: "They are the best pills I ever used." 25c at Peoples Drug Co., Bamberg, S. C. Wire Electrocutes Editor. Waycross, Ga., Oct. 6.?A. P. Perham, Jr., editor of the Waycross Herald, was instantly killed in an electric storm of violence which swept over this city to-day, destroying telephone and telegraph wires and throwing live wires about the streets. A number of horses, some of them fine animals, met instant death in coming in contact with the wires, while there was danger everywhere. That no one met death except Mr. J Perbam is regarded as surprising. Mr. Perham was on the street near the office of the Southern Express company when a wire dangling from a pole struck him. He dropped to the street dead. Mr. Perham was one of the best known men of this section, having been in the newspaper business here for years. Reverses Decision. Anderson, Oct. 7.?Judge Robert Aldrich has reversed his recent decision, which was that municipal courts have no jurisdiction to try liquor cases. This decision he* made when he presided over general sessions court here two weeks ago. His reversal was made at Pickens this week when a case charging a merchant at Easley with selling whiskey was appealed to the circuit court. Judge Aldrich stated, so a Pickens visitor in Anderson to-day said, that his decision at Anderson was made just prior to adjournment of court and before he had time to look into the law. After mature thought and after consulting the statutes the court has decided that he erred in Anderson. In the appeal before him at Pickens Judge Aldrich sustained the mayor of Easley, but he ordered the fine of $50 reduced to $25.00. It is ont known twhether Judge Aldrich is going to reverse his decision in the Anderson cases or whether he is going to allow them to go on to the supreme court for a ruling. The Easley case was idon+ir?al nHth the msp in Andprsnrt Cotton Stocks Not Too Large. Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 8.?Henry S. Reed, editor of The Cotton Journal, has issued a statement about the alleged large stocks of that commodity carried over and now held in reserve. He says: "Statements have been made relative to the enormous stocks of cotton carried over, etc. But the carryover, as shown by the following figures for September 1, 1908, and September 1, 1909, was but normal. "Spinners stocks in Great Britain on September 1, 1908, were 202,000 bales as against 277,000 bales on September 1, a year ago, or an actual shortage of 75,000 bales this year as compared with last. "Spinners stocks on the continent of Europe September 1, 1909, aggregated 1,324,000 bales against 1,187,000 September one year ago. This is an actual increase of 137,000 bales, making the increase in foreign stocks September 1, 1909, over September 1, 1908, 62,000 bales or enough to run the continental mills three days, or or enough to run English mills five days. The English mills used 80,000 bales per week during August, 1909, and 60,000 bales during August, 1908. The continental mills used 110,000 bales per week during Au gust 1909 and 1908. The total ! weekly consumption abroad during ! August, 1909, was 190,000 bales ! against 172,000 during August, I 1908." J. R. Kinard & Co.?The Swell ! Turnout.
