FAMOUS DOG MEETS DEATH. Barry III Killed in St. Bernard Pass While Doing His Duty. Much regret was felt by lovers of intelligent dogs when word was received yesterday announcing the killing of the famous St. Bernard, Barry III, by being caught in an avalanche of snow and ice in the Grand St. Bernard Pass, after assisting in the res- i cue of two travellers, who had lost i their way in a heavy snow-storm.

I enabled to follow the dog to shelter. Barry returned to summon Father Clavendier to welcome two persons that the brave animal had led through the storm. The men were saved but Barry disappeared. Next day it was found that near the place where he had found the lost tourists Barry had been struck by heavy pieces of ice while waiting there to warn other travellers of the dangers of the pass on such a severe night. He had saved many lives in his career of six years and had he been spared longer migni nave i ? equalled the record of his ancestor, Barry II, who had rescued forty up j to his fifteenth year before he was 2 killed by a fall into a crevasse five t ? . years ago. s Bruno Wolfrum, a dog fancier, of No. 204 East Nineteenth Street, who has handled nearly all of the dogs of the Barry type that have come to r this country during the last twenty- j five years, said last night: "There ^ are but few of the Barry stock of j dogs left, and I am sorry to hear j ? that such an intelligent dog should v be killed at the best time in his ca- , reer, that is just when he is strongest t and most capable of doing the best a work in the dangerous mountain ; pass. The work there, of course, r could not be duplicated in this coun- -] try, but every man I have known c here who had these animals in farm a or ranch life found them valuable r acquisitions. I think there are some j specimens of the Barry stock in Mr. r Jacob Ruppert's kennels, which are r as fine as any that the monks of the ^ St Bernard hospice possess.

No announcement ^ has been made as to the effect of 1 the curtailment on the market. t There have been various estimates * -? ^ ^ +Vi a f>nttn n r>rnn for this C ft mauc vu (,uv State and in several instances the prediction has been made that the c crop will almost equal that of last' year. t Better Freight Rates. ^ The textile plants of the State are i fighting for better freight rates to f Charleston and it is expected that s there will be some interesting devel- < opments at the hearing called by the ? railroad commission early in October. The cotton manufacturers ask 1 for a reasonable rate to the port of 1 Charleston so that water rates may i be secured to the eastern markets. The petition, which "was signed by over 100 of the largest textile concerns in the State, practically charges i that the railroads have"bottled" up < the port of Charleston by placing the ^ rates too high. 1 In the petition filed with the com- < mission the statement is made that < there are many mills in the State 1 operating at a loss when there should < be a profit. The reasons given are the fluctuating price of cotton and the cloth market?and especially un- ] turers of the State. 1 It is pointed out that prior to 1902, ! the port of Charleston was practi- ] cally unused by the cotton manufac- ; tureres of the State. 1 The Greenville and Spartanburg 1 group of mills are asking for a ' reduction of about 33 per cent on j products shipped to Charleston.? : Columbia State.

Dublin, Ga., Sept. 15.?Although the vice president of a bank, the late Thomas Haskins of this county le:t $30,000 in an old flimsy desk when he died after keeping much of it there in preference to banking it.

The man who engages in corrupt politics strikes a direct blow at the heart of good government. The campaign just closed has been characterized by the practice of corrupt politics; that corruption remains a cancerous sore and will so remain until politics in Aiken county are purified and kept clean. The suggestion of clean politics provokes a smile from some people, :o whom such a thing appears either humorous or impossible; and, possibly, there will be double-dealing tnd political trickery practiced so ong as there Is a so-called popular government; but if we. will only enforce the laws that we already lave, and enact and enforce others hat will be more stringent than ve now have regarding elections, ;uch a thing as buying and selling rotes in the open market, for liquor md for money, can be stopped. And it is the duty of the God-fearng, patriotic, decency-loving citi:ens of Aiken county to see to it hat this traffic in vote buying and :elling is stopped.?Aiken Sentinel. That Circular. Xow that the campaign is over, the esult of the Congressional race mown and the excitement abated, vhat about that infamous circular etter that on the eve of the first prinary made its appearance, and vhich has undoubtedly been a factor n deciding the Congressional conpet^ Tf nartizanshiD has deterred I tny citizen from viewing the matter mpartially, a sense of justice should low overcome any partizan spirit. That infamous circular stands a irime that cries aloud for justice, md just so long as its "mystery" reuains unsolved, and until the per etrator of that foul piece of work emains uncovered, that circular will emain a stench in the nostrils of he citizenship of this community. The matter of that circular does tot end with the end of the Congresional campaign. There is no statite of limitation to crime. Already, he man who wrote that circular and he man who mailed it have conealed their guilt too long. Nearly hree weeks have passed, and for all ( hat time the task of placing the lame where it deserves to be, which hould be a very easy task, has renaiDed unaccomplished. The Sentinel has expressed itself, ] n no uncertain terms, before and unlesitatingly does so again. Even an imateur detective should be able to ind out unquestionably who had . rinted such a circular as that was, , ome printer necessarily had to be aken into his confidence, and mailed i he same in the Aiken postoffice. -Vhere are the famed handwriting xperts that we have heard so much -bout? The envelope was addressed rith pen and ink. So far, even the iffer of fifteen hundred dollars revard has not brought him forward o claim it. Then there ate other hings about that self-same circular o be taken into the most serious ' onsideration. No matter who is the perpetrator >f that foul piece of political trickfry, we want him brought to jusice; no matter who or what he is. ve want him uncovered in all the lakedness of his guilt, reeking in ilth as is any man who would stoop jo low, because he is unfit to associite with decent people and should be ihunned more than any l<?per.

Mclver, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church, colored has sued his flock in the justice court and levied on the church organ in a strenuous effort to collect $97.50 salary which he alleges is due him. He got judgment before Justice Jackson, and the congregation has now appeal ed the cause to the Superior Court. The preacher alleges that he has preached wholesome doctrine and rightly divided the word of truth, that he has performed such services to the congregation as he is directed to perform by Holy Writ, and that despite his fulfilment of the Scripture and the law, his church has failed and refused to pay him the salary agreed upon. He sued the congregation as a corporation in the justice's court and got a judgment under which the church pews and organ were levied on and hauled to the justice court to be sold at public outcry. It is stated that some of the members of the congregation admitted the debt. Since that time, however, other members of the congregation have appealed the case on the ground that the church was not a corporation, but a partnership of private individuals who owned the church furniture. They want that organ back. ?Atlanta Journal. Finley on the Situation. Washington, D. C., Sept. 14.? President Finley, of the Southern Railway Company, who has been looking into business conditions iu the Southern States to-day said: "On the whole the conditions are encouraging. In agriculture the present outlook is practically good. The cotton crop is later than usual, and is, therefore, more subject to future weather conditions than is usual at this time of year. However, the condition report of the United States r, arrM/Milturol Honflrtment is?:iip.rl OP the 2nd instant, showed a better average condition of the growing cotton crop in the States south of the Potomacand Ohio rivers and east of the Mississippi than on the corresponding date last year, and the area planted was reported in June as 140,000 acres greater than last year. "With ordinarily favorable weathconditions until the crop is harvested, the Southeastern States will have the largest corn crop on record for for that section. The area planted is more than a million and a half acres greater than last year, and the condition report issued on September 8th showed a beter condition in Mississippi than in any other State in the United States, with Alabama a close second and with good condition reported from each of the other Southeastern States. The increased corn crop of the South will have an important bearing on general trade conditions, for localities which have formerly bought considerable corn from other parts of the country are growing in some cases all, and in ether cases the greater part of what they will require this year, and will be in position to buy other commodities on a larger scale. "Coal is moving in larger volume than last year, and lumber is in more active demand. "The cotton mill industry of the world has been passing through a prolonged period of depression due to the inability of manufacturers to market their products at prices commensurate with the price of theii raw material. This has resulted in a material curtailment of production in the South as well as in other cotton mill centers. In the meantime, the consumption of cotton goods throughout the world is continuing. Stocks in the hands of merchants are being reduced, and there is every reason to believe that, as soon as the size of this year's crop can be more accurately estimated, there will be an active demand for cotton goods of all kinds at prices bearing such a relation to the price of the raw material as to stimulate the mill industry. "Taking all factors of the situation into consideration, I am encouraged to believe that, with average weather conditions and in the absence of an unusually early killing frost, we may look forward to an active fall business in the Southern States." The Open-Air Hotel. A man from the west was looking for a friend in New York, who had gone wrong. He heard his friend had been sleeping on the benches in Bryant Park, and went over there to look for him. There were a good many unfortunates on the benches, but the particular friend the Westerner wanted to find was not there. However, the Westerner did find another man from his own town whom he knew and .who knew the man whom he was searching. "Where's Jones?" asked the Westerner, prodding the man he knew. "Aw," replied the hobo, sleepily, "he ain't come in yet."?Cleveland Leader. FORTUNE IN SHEEP RAISING. I Men Who Began in Wyoming Witl Nothing and Now Are Rich.

Grass grows over the face of the earth much as whiskers on the face of a man. However, grass is always green, and no one ever wears green whiskers except a slapstick comedian. However, again, there is red grass and gray grass and brown grass and yellow grass and blue grass, which proves that there are exceptions to all rules. For all that, however, grass does not grow galaway style, nor a la burnside, nor in a mustache and goatee Grass is eaten by cows. When cut and dried and baled it is called oaiec hay and is fed to condensed mild cows. Grass is removed from the lawn bj means of the neighbor's children or ? lawn mower.
