? ~ / Knitted Fabrics Are Now Rivaling Woolen .(By Augusta V. Brown, Special Correspondent for The Williston Way.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 10.?When jersey cloth made its first impetus upon the fabric market about eight years ago the interest which it created was hardly more than of a novelty's duration for the style of dressing in those days required material more adapted to draping and the first jersey cloth certainly was not. There were a few manufacturers far sighted enough to see the possibilities for knitted textiles if the disadvantages ? ^ ia Vinir oaf fn nrfirk in I were uvmuwc au mcj w ..~ an intelligent, progressive way to make their product as desirable as woven fabrics. When sports became a natural part of the life of everyone a few years ago interest in the knitted fabric was again aroused and today the pioneers of knitted textiles industries are enjoying the fruits of their labors as their products are rivaling the woven fabrics. The obstacles of clumsiness and bulkiness have been removed and today the knitted costume whether it is a one piece dress or a coat or skirt is as graceful in line and as comfortable to wear as a silk or thin wool frock. When one of the leading New York fashion artists was asked if she found the new fabrics hard to work with, she said tyuite to the contrary they were easily cut and manipulated. Many new models by Poiret, Doucet, Worth, Rolande, and other fashion creators both in France and Am\ erica indicate the dominant influence of knitted apparel at present besides those interested in "what they are rfiturnina from abroad re ? , port that the number of knitted costumes seen on the Avenue du Bois in Paris seem to increase daily. When knitted dresses, blouses, suits and sweaters appeared in such a profusion the latter part of the past winter many people predicted that they -would not last long, but through the ability of a-few persons to lift this type of costume out of the humdrum of merely practical the fashion for knitted fabrics has strengthened until now they are being used for fashioning afternoon and evening gowns as well as for fine lingerie. One designer was so pleased with the draping possibilities of tricosham that she nsed the material in creating a wedding gown. In knitted fabrics the brilliancy of the colors is, perhaps, their chiefest charm for there is something about the assembling of the stitches that gives to the fabric a depth of tone hard to equal. Brown in various v shades, chiefly reddish brown such as cedar or cinamon, promises to lead all colors for the fall and winter together with some new tones of tan, some of them golden such as maroon, and a new and quite popular one is known as burnt bread. After a handicapped start reseda green is slowly gaining again. A clever new note in the world of fashion is the use of a knitted jacket to be worn over every type of daytime frock though particularly effective when worn with a knitted "dress matching the bindings or embroideries of the jacket. Often these little , jackets are embroidered all over in a scroll stitch design. An effective combination is a burnt bread frock with a dark brown jacket. The jacket is worn very much bloused over a low placed wide belt tightly drawn about the hips. Frequently the belt is attached to the lower edge of the jacket but often a full little poplum extends below the belt. , Many new fabrics besides tricosham are being featured but Mandaline seems to be taking the lead in popularity for fall wear. This fabric resembles the knitted crepes in construction with the difference that the back of the cloth is of worsted, the thickly looped face alone being of fibre silk resulting in a pleasing and novel two-tone effect. Black and white is a very attractive though there are other combinations as lovely. Fairfax Wins. Again. it1 Fairfax, Oct. 14.?The undefeated Fairfax high school foot ball team a*ily defeated the Ehrhardt eleven here yesterday hy the score of 55 to f. To mention the stars would be to 1 praise the whole Fairfax organization as well as some of the opposing eleven. Brunson and Sullivan, Fairfax guards, put up a plucky fight, especi- , ally on the defense, breaking through the opposing line time after time topping the Ehrhardt backs before they could get to the line of scrimmage. Ben Knopf, center, also played stellar ball. For the defeated team Brabham played the most con istent ball. Fairfax has won all gomes played this season, running up a total of 92 points against her opponents, while her own goal has never been seriously threatened. LEON MOORE ACQUITTED Jury Returns Verdict of Not Guilty at Barnwell. Williston Way. The fall term of sessions court opened in Barnwell last Monday and a number of cases were disposed of before entering into the trial of Leon Moore Tuesday. The father and mother of young Weathersbee, Mr. and Mrs. J. Moyer Weathersbee, were witnesses for the state and testified, among other things, that their son did not carry a pistol with him to Barnwell the day of the shooting and that the trouble between Virgil Weathersbee and Leon Moore was caused by some alleged liquor transactions. ; Joe /Ross and Hamp Baxley testified for the state that they saw Weathersbee just a few minutes before the shooting and that he was standing near the corner of the Bank of Western Carolina talking with Sheriff Sanders; that he walked on towards Jeffcoat's Garage and they heard a shot and saw Weathersbee fall and Ross says he went immedr iately to 'Where the body fell and found the pistol which the defence claims Weathersbee used in attempting to shoot Moore lying near him. The state put up a number of other witnesses whose testimony in the main bore out that above given. Dave Jeffcoat, at whose garage the shooting took place, George Grubbs ( and W. C. Birt were eye witnesses of the killing and all testified for the defence. Mr. Birt says that he looka ed up and saw Weathersbee pointing a pistol at Moore in the act of firing and he called out "Leon, look out," or some words to that effect. The defendant then reached for his shot gun and shot Weathersbee and in a second or so shot him the second time. The other eye witnesses testified along the same genera llines. When the defendant was put on ' the stand in his behalf he stated that the trouble between him and young Weathersbee was caused by his having phoned for the sheriff, at'Weathersbee's* request, in connection with ' some trouble at the home of the de- : ceased. He said that he shot Weath- ; ersbee when he saw him in the apparent act of about to shoot him and that his reason for shooting a second time is that Weathersbee appeared to be reaching for his pistol. Able arguments were made by Messrs. Edgar A. Brown, Solomon : Blatt and J. O. Patterson for the defence and Solicitor Gunter and R. A. Hallman for the state.

Weathersbee died at his home in Barnwell at 7:40 o'clock Tuesday morning, aged about 49 years. About two years ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis, and another stroke Tuesday morning was more than his weakened constitution could bear. His body was laid to rest yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Barnwell Baptist church yard.. The funeral services were conducted hv T")r W. M. Jones. Besides his wife, Mr. Weathersbee is survived jy several brothers and sisters, all of whom have the sincere sympathy of many friends. For a number of years Mr. Weathersbee had made his home in Barnwell, where he was engaged in the insurance business. A Beam of Light Williston Way. Governor Harvey has taken hold of the penitentiary and is making a close study of it. He thinks that all prisoners serving over two or years years should be at the state prison and not on the chain-gangs where escapes are easy and frequent. Reecntly, he took up with some experts the advisability of making shirts at the penitentiary, and commenting on this proposition is quoted as saying that prisoners should receive a part of their labor to be kept by the prison official in a sort of a savings account until they are released or, if there are dependent ones at home, td be sent home to these. We cannot recall a single utterance from South Carolinas' governors of the past that seemed so full of the new idea of the state's duty to its unfortunates. Osborne of NewYork worked along these lines. If Governor Harvey's ideas are carried out, and they should be by the next legislature, a beam of light will come to many a poor fellow now serving a long sentence with perhaps loved ones suffering at home for the barest necessities of life. This is no imagination. There is a family within a few miles of Williston, in an adjoining county, where the children haven't clothing enough to keep them warm, whose food is not of sufficient quantity and quality to properly nourish the several little ones who are not to blame for their father being in the penitentiary serving a term for manslaughter.
