X , * 1 New Orleans, Oct. 16.?A reaction of two dollars a bale in th^ price of cotton came this morning within an hour after the opening of the week. This was the first sudden upward I. movement in futures since the long declines started, a decline that Saturday night amounted to almost four i?g and three-quarters cents a pound, or nearly $25 a bale. \ The market opened at an advance of 3 to 9 points and kept on rising until the December and January deliveries wore 43 points over Saturf day's close. Other active months [ made gains of 41 to 43 points, but I the first two named months attracted most of the trading. * General rainy and cloudy weather over the cotton region, a storm warning for the Texas coast and the forecast of frost for Oklahoma and the Panhandle of Texas, were the cause for the rise. Shorts were heavy buyers from the first call on and it I is said that one or more immense lines of shorts were being covered. Heavy buying for the long account \ was in evidence and was on a larger scale than in any previous session * *?

Sunk His Own Treasure. Aiken, Oct. 14.?George Haynes, a negro, is under arrest in Augusta, pending extradition papers to bring him to Aiken to answer to a peculiar charge. It is alleged that he filched one Andrew Lee, a respected negro of North Augusta, out of large sums of money on the pretext of having an instrument whereby he could locate buried treasure. It is said that sometime recently Lee purchased a farm near Hamburg, ?/v?/N VtAAvt 41mr\Y> UI1 W LLHJil tilCX C uau uccu bim\;uvuv vu legends of buried wealth. Haynes is said to have approached Lee with the statement that he had an invention that could locate buried treasure and offered to use it on Lee's farm to find the legendary pot of gold. He set his "compass" and it pointed to a spring. They dug down, and sure enough a rusty pot was brought to the surface. Haynes said it would never do to open it then as it contained a deadly acid, and it would have to be reburied near the surface to allow the acid to spend itself. This was done, and in the meantime Haynes is said to have collected $500 of Lee's hard-earned money. Of course when the pot was eventually opened it contained nothing of any value whatever. But before it was opened, Haynes undertook, with the aid of $300 more of the negro's money, to find additional buried coin, but after getting the money Haynes took to other parts, and left the supposed pot of gold and all other valuables with Lee. He was located in Augusta and arrested. Read The Herald and get the best, at $1.50 per year.

Cheraw, Oct. 14.?Ysterday at Messrs. Hugh and John Bottoms, twc young business men, were hunting on Thompson's Creek, a few miles from town, one of them saw some distance away beyond the bushes what he took to be a wild turkey, and thought he would have one turkey anyway if he got nothing else this year. He shot, and on reaching the spot, he found to his horror that he had shot Anderson Williams, colored, who had been gathering foddei and had stooped to fix something, bending over into unrecognizable shape. He was at once brought to town and put under medical care. If he lives through to-day he has a chance to recover. Suit to Annul Marriage. Another case to be tried at the coming term of common pleas couTt will be that of Judge W. Owens against Addie Kellett, this being for the annulment of a marriage. The case was heard recently before Master J. W. Gray and was sent to the higher court. Miss Kellett lived in the lower part of the county, near Fork Shoals cotton mill. Owens claims that he was forced by threats of killing by Miss Kellett's father and brothers to marry the girl. * It was brought out at the preliminary here that the couple, after they were married by Rev. J. H. Machen, of Fountain Inn, came to Greenville and spent the night. Next day Owens left for Atlanta and the girl testified she had not seen him again till the day of the preliminary here in the master's court.?Greenville Piedmont. Fell Three Stories. Greenville, Oct. 14.?J. L. Rouse, while at work late yesterday afternoon, doing some painting on Furman University, fell from the third story to the ground. When Mr. Rouse was picked up by some fellow workmen, he was in an unconscious condition. Physicians were immediately summoned and Rouse was put in an ambulance and carried to the Greenville infirmary. The doctors stated this morning that he was in fairly good condition, and din't think any bones were broken. It seems he had the presence of mind to double up while falling, which probably saved his life. ie Old / f the unveil serve any itely free c terans. to our store an e our store your i you, and you i ; treated with p< Be sure to come fou Will K Jg < [ONE NO. 48.
