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.

name to lose his life in the performance
of his duty of trying to save 1
those who get lost or stormbound in
the Alps, which leads to and from
the hospice of the St. Bernard
monks. ]
Last Sunday night Barry, at a sig- j
nal from the monk in charge, left
his cosev corner in the hospice kitchen
with his little barrel around his
neck, containing restoratives for the
use of travellers who may have the ,

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. Mr.
Frank Gould was formerly the owner T
of some St. Bernard dogs of the Bar- s
ry stock that he valued more than v
anything he owned.?New York t

HOI OF SPINDLES HEARD AGAIN. ,
I
Cotton Mills of State Have Resumed v
t
Operations. s
Reports received in Columbia indi- E
cate that almost every cotton mill
has resumed operation, following the *
general plan of curtailment during *
the month of August as agreed to a
by the manufacturers of the State. ^
,
There are several smaller mills yet E
idle, but these will resume opera- s
tions within the next several days. *
In the early part of the summer 1
there was an agreement reached by ^
the manufacturers of the State to
J . x curtail during the month of August. a
This plan was generally adopted and ^
several thousand operatives were idle c
for a short time. 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.? :

KEPT MONEY IN DESK.
Dublin Bank President Didn't Trust
Institution.
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. Of
the sum $11,000 was in money, the
rest in notes and mortgages. The
:lesk was opened at the order of his
widow and the fortune was found
today.
For Cleaner Politics.
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.
Let's get at the bottom of it. and
et us not relax our energies until
:his is accomplished.?Aiken Sentilel.

LABORER WORTHY OF HIRE.
Colored Preacher Sues Flock and
Levies on Church Organ.
Rev. A. 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

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

FORTUNE IN SHEEP RAISING.
I Men Who Began in Wyoming Witl
Nothing and Now Are Rich.
Quick fortunes have been the ruL
1 in the sheep business in the West, al
though, it is estimated that twenty
per cent, of those embarking in i
fail. The big fortunes in sheei
were made by these that got in 2(
years ago. These men were eithei
extremely sturdy or extremely des
perate, as a general thing, to begii
1 with. Misfortune couldn't spring
anything new on them, no mattei
what it brought out of the box?jus
so it left them their lives. No
even the vindictive blows of the cat
tlemen could frighten them out o:
the country. Among the notabl<
early comers to Wyoming was Johi
Morton, of Douglas. John Morton':
most valuable possession, when h<
went out to run a band of sheep or
shares twenty years ago, was five
pounds of dried apples in a bag
That five pounds of dried apples became
the leaven of a fortune at present
estimated at a quarter of e
million dollars. Morton is using hi?
money now in big irrigation projects

Pat Sullivan, of Casper, is anothei
one of the rugged early-day shifeepmen
who has done well. Sullivar
landed at Philadelphia eighteer
years ago from Ireland. He hac
fifty-four dollars left after eating his
first meal in America. Pat walked
into a railroad office with thai
money, put it down before the agent
and said: "Give me a ticket as
far West as that'll take me." Tht
ticket was to Rawlins, Wyoming
and there Pat Sullivan, greenhorn
got off the train and struck a jot
herding sheed for another Irishman
in time he married the flock master's
daughter and got an interest in the
flock. Many a year the wife and
Pat followed the flock in a sheepwagon
winter and summer, meeting
all manner of hardship '-in a
country where nothing at all comes
easy.
Sullivan lives at Casper now, in a
green house with lank poplars flanking
it like rows of soldiers. He is
said to be worth $150,000. As proof
of his prosperity he is building a
brick castle on the hillside at Casper,
a castle with a tower and bay indows,
overlooking the North Platte
river, which lie? flat on the sands
there like a silver hair on a mantle
of sombre gray.?Everybody's Magazine

Grass.
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. Lawn mowers are push'
ed by young men who are studying
for the ministry. No other men have
the sturdy moral nature to run a lawr
mower. Immediately after cutting
the grass these young men collec*
for it. Taking collection is part o;
ministerial training. Grass is alsc
very profitable to sign painters, as ii
also enables them to dispose of pla
cards ordering people to keep of
of it.?Chicago Post.
