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. The charge

able and to the point. *
The jury received the case something
after four o'clock Wednesday
afternoon, Oct. 11, and reached a
verdict of not guilty in 22 minutes.
Just prior to taking up the Moore
case, two negroes from Williston,
Will Frederick and Luther Chavis,
were convicted on a charge of forgery
in Williston and sentenced each to
two years.

Death in {Barnwell of
L. W. Weathersbee
Barnwell, Oct. 6.?After long ill
health, Larkin W. 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. Give this man
some work to do on a piece-work basis
and when he has finished his term
