Coats, Limited, is known all over the world. They have mills in the United States and several European countries, but their chief works are in Paisley. These, inclusive of the large mills, occupy over a handrd acres of ground, possess an aggregate engine force of 30,000 horse power, require a daily consumption of 400 tons of coal to drive half a million spindles and give employment to more than 10,000 men and women. All the mills are substantially built, but the largest is five stories in height, and in it about 1,000 workers are em ployed. Its machinery is driven by two engines of 1,900 horsepower each, and the driving wheel, which makes 500 revolutions a minute, is 35 feet in diameter. All the flats are filled with costly machinery, which the girls watch with anxious eyes all day long. They earn from 12s 6d to one pound a week, but they work hard for it. Their working hours are from 8 a. m. to 12:30 p. m. and from 1:30 p. m. to 6 p. m.?London Tit-Bits. For good teams call on J. M. Dannelly & Co at Ehrhardt, who operate a first-class livery service.

Boone, la., Jan. 21.?Kate Shelly, heroine of the Honey creek flood dis- t aster in 1881, died to-day at her { home, a quarter of a mile from the ' Moingona bridge across the Des < Moines river, the scene of her heroic ( act. Six months ago she was operat- . ed on for appendicitis and before she recovered. Bright's disease set in. During a violent storm 30 years ago, Miss Shelly, who was station agent at Moingona, crossed the bridge over the Des Moines river on her hands and knees at midnight to flag a passenger train on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad and save it from plunging into Honey creek, over which the bridge had been washed away. For her bravery the Iowa legislature awarded her a medal and a sum of money. She also received substantial recognition from the railroad s company as well as many contribu- a tions from various parts of the coun- ? try. t ? r Violated the Law. i t In his speech against the bill of Senator Earle, to repeal the law em- f powering the chief justice, when the supreme court is not in session, and . the supreme court when in session, , to recommend the appointment to the ^ governor of a suitable person to pre- t side at a special court, or at a court t when the regular judge is unable, on ^ account of illness or death, to pre- * side, Senator Carlisle said: "The senator from Oconee need not cite cases from other States, as the supreme court of our own State has spoken on this question and all law-abiding citizens are bound by it, the governor as well as the general assembly." tj In reply to the position of Senator Earle that the present law had pro- ^ iuded friction, Senator Carlisle said b that "the friction was brought about by the governor refusing to obey the [aw enacted by the general assembly and that if he would obey the law, which he was sworn to do, all fric- ^ tion would stop. The failure of the rnvornnr tr? nhpv the law which he had sworn to obey was the cause of ihe friction." That puts the case succinctly and G lucidly.?Columbia State. d ? . x The Balky Party. ?

Six thousand bushels E 3f corn gathered and three thousand bushels more to gather is the record r< a Georgia farmer, not a man,in Kansas or Illinois. We know many of t) 3ur all-cotton farmers will not believe E this, because they did not see it, and b many of them never saw this much A ear-corn in all their lives. Still., Mr * Sid Phelan, of Crawford county, Georgia, made this enviable record b for 1911. One day about the middle of De- E "VT? Tl^nlnn and nn tl cem Der we met mi. x uuau uuU, asking him how he was getting along, he replied: "Very well, but s it looks like I can not get through c gathering my corn. I have gathered f 6,000 bushels and have 3,000 more to F gather. s How did Mr. Phelan grow this h enormous crop of corn? By simply developing the natural fesources of b the magnificent plantation that he h bought a few years ago for less than a five dollars per acre, because the 1; owner had allowed the place to run t down until it was almost worthless. Mr- Phelan hniit. a dvke 18 feet high ^ iU A X ixv?v*M and thre miles long to cut off the s back water from Flint river. He. t built a tile factory and turned out 1 30,000 feet of tile and drained 500 acres of bottom land, so that now t it produces 75 bushels of corn per s acre instead of growing cane and bul- * rushes as before. We have thous- * ands of acres in each Southern State that only needs just such a master ( spirit to reclaim them and make them ) produce like those of Mr. Phelan. c We have thousands of farmers that 1 do not know what to do with their 1 cotton, but Phelan will have no trouble in selling his corn for a good price. We trust that m proportion i to their area in cultivation, others I will follow Mr. Phelan's example for 1 1912 and for all future years.? 1 Southern Cultivator. 1 WIFE'S CLUB SCATTERS. When Husband Does Family Washing in Drawing Room. Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 20.?Determined to put a crimp in his wife's imbition to become a social leader, rhomas Yingling, a wholesale butcher, who climbed up the sausage ladder link by link until he acquired i fortune, entered the drawing room >f his home to-day while his wife ivas presiding over a card party, and, ittaching a washing machine to the flectric fixtures, proceeded to set a ?ood example for the women present by doing the family washing. Without waiting to remove the ;uds from their afternoon gowns the vomen fled from the Dlace and left VIr. Yingling in full possession. Some of those who delayed their leparture said that it was a regular (Tingling circus when Mrs. Yingling old her husband what she thought >f his action. She retired to her room ind late last night issued a bulletin, mouncing her intention of starting i wholesale butcher shop in opposiion to her husband. This announcenent was greeted with cheers by resdents of this city, who see a chance o get meat at ridiculously lower >rices as a result of the Yingling diferences. The fact that he has prospered n business has not convinced Mr. Tingling that he should change his labits or his style of dress, the sarorial rock being the one on which he family harmony went to pieces. Irs. Yingling was anxious to make ocial conquests, and to that end inisted that her husband put on his linstrel first part for dinner every vening. He protested that the sight f evening clothes took away his apetite, but she was obdurate, and ompelled him to get behind the larble top shirt when he came from. tie auaiiou. To show that she was in earnest in er promise to take her husband's usiness scalp, Mrs. Yingling rented big storeroom to-day. A PATHETIC STORY. iept Husband at Telephone to Hern* Suicidal Shot.

Takes Murder Suspects Out, Hangs Them and Then Riddles Them. Hamilton, Ga., Jan. 22.?A mob of [00 men to-night broke into the Har^ *is jail, overpowering Jailer E. M. Robertson and took four negroes, hree men and a woman, out and hung hem to trees one mile from town. They then riddled their bodies with Juliets. It is estimated that 300 shots were fired. Last Sunday afterloon while Norman Hadley, a well to lo unmarried farmer, was sitting in lis house alone a shot was fired ;hrough the window and he fell dead. That afternoon four negro tenants, 3elle Hat ft way, joe ivioore, njugvuo Sailing and "Dusty" Crutchfield were irrested charged with the murder. Sheriff Hadley, who is an uncle of ;he dead man, feared no lynching and ;o-night he is in Columbus. Public sentiment, however, had been crys;alizing here all day and by nightfall there were a great many country people in Hamilton. Their number vas constantly augmented, and 9 D'clock fully 900 men had congregated in front of the court house in svhich the jail is located. Despite :he pleas of Jailer Robertson, they idvanced on the calaboose and throwing him to one side broke the doors flown. The terrified negroes were hustled out at the point of guns and marched outside the town. There they were quickly strung up. Immediately after they were silhouetted against the sky, revolvers and rifles blazed forth and fully 300 shots were I fired before the mob dispersed and left its prey to the winds. The negroes protested their innocence to the last but the mob would have none of it. Xo motive for the killing of Hadley, who was very popular. can be advanced by the people here. H. F.

Victim of Peculiar Accident Finally Relieved at Hospital. ? T"? T T 10 A rroviaenue, iv. i., uau. w.? singular accident occurred on the North End farm on Prudence Island. Harold Parker, who is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Brayton on the farm, performed the time-honored "stunt" of putting beans in his mouth and making them come out his ears. This trick he performed with such dexterity that when he was through with it he had a hard white bean tightly wedged in each ear. One of these was dislodged by Mrs. Brayton. but the other defied her efforts. In a few days it was discovered that heat had caused the bean to sprout. It grew as rapidly as- beans usually do, and on Sunday the sprout was fully 1 y2 inches long. Yesterday, Capt. Brayton took his guest to the hospital in Newport, where the bean, sprout, root, and all, was taken out. An ad. in The Herald will bring recults. Try one and see.

Queer Accident That Happened in Spartanburg. ^ While John R. Burke was driving on Morgan Square yesterday after- f * noon about 6 o'clock, his horse became unmanageable and ran away. Darting through the square to Kennedy place, the horse ran squarely i. 'o the large window of the store of J. jS. Bagwell, smashing out the glass. " The animal was severely injured. The glass was shattered and cranberries, piled high in the win- f dow, were scattered over the streets as wild plums in a thicket. The driver was not injured. A large crowd of people gathered around the sight and the morbidly curious elbowed their way through , the crowds to view the poor bleeding animal which was soon to die, while other with curiosity but with J "chicken hearts," fearing that they could not eat a hearty supper after having seen the animal in this condition, contented themselves with a critical inspection of the shattered window.?Spartanburg Journal. _ v Let us have your renewal promptly if your subscription has expired. ^ , * ^ ^ ^
