Prominent Citizen of Barnwell County
Dies After Many Months' Illness.
Mr. J. Robt. Ray, one of the most
prominent planters of the Olar section
of Barnwell county, died at his
home on Sunday afternoon at 4:30
p. m. after several weeks severe illness.
Mr. Ray had been in HI health
for many months, but up until a few
weeks ago he was not considered in
a critical condition. He was buried
- - . - - ? -1 1
on Monday morning at n o ciock at
Friendship church.

\ county's best men, modest and unassuming,
yet a man of sterling qualities
and noblest virtues. He was an
( affectionate husband, a devoted
father and a true friend. He will
be sorely missed not only by his loved
ones, but by all who had the good
J fortune to know him.?Barnwell

\ Against Control of Corporations.
/ * New York, July 20.?In an
academic discussion of governmental
relations to corporations this afternoon,
John E. Parsons, former president
of the American Bar association,
and former counsel for the American
Sugar Refining company, declared to
the congressional committee investigating
the "sugar trust" that the
proposition of E. H. Gary, chairman
of the United States Steel corporation,
for government control of business
combinations, was socialistic.
He added that in his opinion congress
should place no restrictions whatever
on trade.
"Government should permit commerce
to take its course," he said.
"A great corporation cannot be organized
merely on the valuation in
. dollars and cents of its physical properties?the
men behind it must be
capitalized. They are worth something
to the investor. The capitalization
must be on the physical properties,
the prospects of thp business
and the. men who are to manage it.
That is not water.
i
"If congress should pass a law conforming
to Justice Harian's dissenting
opinion in the Standard Oil and
Tobacco trust cases it would cause
the country's greatest disaster. If
Justice Harlan's opinion stood as the
snling opinion of the court our jails
would be filled to overflowing with
stockholders and officers of corporations.
No two businesses could combine
to increase their trade." .
Mr. Parsons was positive that
mere snouia ue uu guvuumcuk wutrol
of corporations, that they should
be permitted a free hand and the ultimate
consumer would profit by his
plan.
In discussing the agreement between
the American Refining company
and the American Beet Sugar
company relative to the agreement
for the control of sales, which was
> declared illegal, Mr. Parsons refused
to admit that it bound the refining
* company not to market its cane produce
during the few months of the
beet sugar company's season or vice
versa. Nor would he say that the
clause in the agreement prohibiting
the beet sugar company from selling
in New England was in restraint of
trade.

When one says, "This is the most

People in big townfe are so selfish.
We would rather live in a little town,
where the people symapthize with
you when in trouble, and where, if
you have no trouble, they will look
up some for you.
We wouldn't like to be an express

ANGRY, GAVE AUTO TO BOY.
Youngster Helped Owner Out of
Ditch Into Which It Plunged.
Cecil Hancock, a 12-year-old Jasper
county (Ind.) boy, was presented
a motor car by an exasperated New
Yorker, who while motoring to Chicago,
met with an accident near the
farm owned by William Hancock, the
boy's father. The tourist refused to
give his name, but the auto license
bore the number "8605-New York."
While descending a hill near the
farm the New Yorker lost control of
his machine and it plunged into a
ditch. Young Hancock helped the
occupant out of the wreck and its
owner made the air blue with lurid
remarks about the blankety-blank
machine.
"T'li thp mt awav for anything
to get rid of it," he said.
"Give it to me," suggested the boy.
"Take it and welcome."
He then hired the boy to drive him
to the nearest railroad station, where
he boarded a train for Chicago.

numbers George E. Shaw, of Three

Bazin Pardoned.
Florence, July 20.?The announcement
that the governor had pardoned
R. L. Bazin was received here
yesterday, but it was no surprise.

term of court of manslaughter in
Causing the death of L. E. Poston at
a school festival in the section of the
county in which both live. The
friends of Bazin and his attorneys
insist that the conviction was unjust
to Bazin, and was due to the charge
of the trial judge to the jury as to
the law and facts, and that there
was evidence that might, if it had
been brought out, been the means of
acquitting Bazin. A lengthy petition
was prepared by the attorneys, and
among the signatures were a number
- J3 iV ^

and other prominent citizens.
Hearing of this petition, the family
of Poston got up a counter petition,
insisting that it would be defeating
the cause of justice for Bazin
to be pardoned. This petition was a
very lengthy one, and is said to have
had the majority of the people in
that section. The solicitor was requested
to take the paper to the governor
when the other was sent up
on** ortrtio atrainct thp nflrdotl.
Solicitor Wells telegraphed the
governor these fa6ts and asked that
no action he taken in the matter until
the counter petition with the argument
of the solicitor, could be heard, j
The following telegram was received
by Mr. Wells in reply:
"Columbia S. C. July 18.

American Cotton Goods in China.
Receipts of piece goods into Shanghai
and Tientsin show marked increase
of late. The source of this
information is the Shanghai office of
the International banking corporation,
the statement being as follows:
American piece goods have recently
been ordered for Shanghai to the
value of 100,000 pounds ($486,650,)
which brings the total since last December
to 250,000 pounds ($1,216,625.)
* Shipments were made from
Manchester during January and February
to Shanghai and Tientsin to the
value of 2,200,000 pounds ($10,706,300,)
against 1,400,000 pounds
($6,813,100) for the same period
last year. In March the average of
shipments from Manchester was
more than maintained ana more inan
doubled the March, 1910, figures,!
and we can only hope the consuming |
capacity of our market has not been
overestimated. The offtake during
the three months has increased by
12*? per cent, and sales by public
auction (which are 37 per cent, of
the total offtake) are higher by 42
per cent, than in the first quarter of
1910.

DOG GETS WHITE BURIAL.
White Satin, White Hearse and White
Horses at Setter's Funeral.
An Irish setter dog was buried here
yesterday in a casket of white brocade
satin, and the hearse which carried
it to the railroad station was also
white and was drawn by white
horses. The dog was owned by Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Cronin, a childless
couple of 255 Virginia street, and was
destroyed the day before at a veterinary
hospital.
The dog had been brought up carefully
from puppyhood by Mrs. Cronin
and had for years been shown every I
attention that a pampered child could
wish. At the death of the dog an expensive
coffin suitable for a child of
12 was ordered and the embalmed
dog was placed in it with its head
resting on a satin pillow trimmed
with lace. Its collar was decorated
with pink ribbon and the casket bore
silver handles.
The animal was buried on a farm
outside the city under a wild Aerry
tree in a crave lined with evergreens.
The coffin was covered with roses and
carnations.. The granite shaft that
is to he placed over the dog will bear
these lines: "That loving heart,
that patient soul, had they indeed no
longer span to run theii* course, to
reach their goal, to read their homily
to man."
The dog during life slept on a
feather bed and drank two bottles of
ale every night.?New York Sun.
Wedding Code of a Divorcee.
An early wise and disillusioned
Boston divorcee has recognized the
duty incumbent upon her to give her
feminine friends less experienced in
the ways that lead to the divorce court,
some rules to be observed before entering
upon matrimony. As a good
dinner is a great promoter of receptiveness
and a great aid in digesting
' ' ? - ? !-J XI '
certain Kinas or wisuom, uuest; wuiuc
of counsel were preceded by that
pleasant function:
Pick out your own husband.
Don't let your mother's advice
force you to marry.
Marry the man you love provided
he has a good disposition.
Don't marry until you are out of
your teens.
If after marrying you'find you are
ill-mated, by all means get a divorce.
So young and so wise! it is not
often that at the mature age 01 zz
a divorcee can thus lay down a code
of rules on marriage for the guidance
of her sex. Mere man has often
tried it and as often failed and been
led to conclude with Shakespeare
that "n^arriage comes by destiny."
In modern times, however, the marriage
arrangements of destiny are subject
to ?review in the divorce court,
and we fear that no code of rules,
however skilfully devised, will prevent
at least an occasional resort to
that refuge of disillusionment.?N.

Tragedies in Gallinger Family.
Tragedy sits close to the family of
Senator Jacob H. 'Gallinger, and the
death of his favorite son, Dr. Ralph
E. Gallinger, in an auto wreck at
Pembroke night before last was only
the most recent of a series of fatalities
in the Gallinger family. They
began 20 years ago, when the senator
went to visit his daughter, who
was recovering from a mild illness,
and found her dead. Five years ago,
as she was entering a Washington
theatre, Mrs: Gallinger fell in a sudden
faint and died in a few moments.
Two years ago another spn dropped
dead without a moment's warning.
A year ago his son Ralph, who was
killed Wednesday, was attacked by
an insane patient at the New Hampshire
State prison and the arteries
in his arm were severed by a stroke
from a butcher knife. It was feared
that the victim would be crippled for
life, but he recovered. The heartbroken
old father, as he left Washington
yesterday for New Hampshire,
remarked, "I can't come back again
this session."?Holyoke Transcript.
Suspend Work.
Greenville, July 20.?The executive
officers of the Greenville, An
derson & Spartanburg interurban
electric road, in session here this
afternoon, adopted resolutions which
in effect suspend at once all work on
the construction of the line between
Greenville and Spartanburg until a
subsequent meeting of the board to
be held at the call of the president.
The resolutions set out that the
company has experienced great difficulty
in securing rights of way between
the two cities, that suitable
terminal sites in Spartanburg are held
at prohibitive prices and that the
Spartanburg city council failed to
grant a franchise. In view of these
circumstances it 'was resolved that it
is deemed unwise to enter the city in
face of the opposition of municipal
authorities and citizens.
The board, however, instructed
its representatives to continue the
work of securing options in Spartanburg,
but under no circumstances
to make a purchase unless further
advised by the board. (

BATTLES WITH LOCUSTS.
In 1870 an Army Was Arrayed
Against the Ravaging Pests.
Since the days of the Pharos the
locut has been an unmitigated
plague. Pliny relates that in many
peaces in Greece a law obliged the
inhabitants to wage war against the
insects three times a year?i. e., in
their various states of egge, larvae
and adult.
%
In 174 9 locusts stopped the army
of Charles XII, king of Sweden, as
it was retreating from Bessarabia after
its defeat at Poltava. The king
at first imagined that he was being
assailed by a. terrific hail storm.
In Transylvania in 1780 the ravages
of the locusts assumed such disastrous
proportions that the army
had actually to be called out to deal
with the pests and the whole regi ment
of soldiers were employed gathering
them up and putting them into
sacks.
A weird, unclanny looking customer
is the locust. The general color
scheme of his body is a kind of an

legs and wings of a whitish color.
Two huge, blank, unmeahing eyes
give an expression of utter imbecility
to the insert's countenance.
To atone in a measure for their
destructive proclivities the locusts
are edible. The Arabs are particularly
fond of them. Camels, to which
they are fed after being dried and
roasted between two layers of ashes,
look upon locusts as a great delicacy.
The flavor resembles that of crabs,
and in Bagdad they are consumed so
extensively as to affect the price of
meat.?Stray Stories.
The Night Mary Garden Became
Famous.
In .the August Woman's Home
^ 1 ? IV- ~ J in
uompamou : ? me seuuuu ai uvic w
a series on the girlhood of great
prima donnas. The current article
is on Mary Garden, the great singer,
who was born in Scotland, brought
UP in Chicago, and, only a few short
years ago, came into fame. Following
is an account of her debut in
Paris:
"A sudden, unforseen opportunity
came early. Witt her characteristic
self-reliance she 'took it without
qualm or hesitancy.
' "The prima donna singing Louise
at the Opera Comique fell ill during
the first act, and, after struggling
through the second, was carried away
to a hospital on the fall of the curtain.
Ca-rre was busy meanwhile,
for the opera must be completed. Remembering
that Miss Garden had
mentioned that part as in her repertoire,
he hurriedly sent for her.
'Would she attempt it?' 'She would
try.' It meant a chance; it was a
great risk, which, had she hesitated,
she might not have taken.
"The stage she had never troaaen;
the complicated action with other
characters, singing with the massive
tone of an orchestra, were things unknown
to her: she knew only
Louise's music.
"From the moment in which she
said, 'I will try,' until the curtain
rose, there was no time fort any
thought but of the actual moment.
She was dressed and on the stage;
the curtain was up, the orchestra
playing. She did not notice the surprised
buzz of voices as she began to
sing; she,was not nervous, there was
room for only one thought, she must
1 be Louise, to do that she could no
longer be Mary Garden. ' Her whole
being was absorbed; it was not a
dream, but a tense reality, in which
every move, every gesture, must
count in her action, every breath in
her singing. The three remaining
acts followed in growing intensity,
her grip on the moment never relaxing.
"When it was over, she had
proved all that she had worked for,
all she had learned, all of which she
was capable?her future had hung
upon it. The curtain had falfen on
the most unusual of debuts, one that
- - * i J
brought her over two nunurwu cuusecutive
appearances in 'Louise.' On
that momentous night she had stepped
from girlhood into womanhood."
