USE COTTONADE. )nc? Popular Clothes Ought to Come Again into Voguo. Cotton People Fnror SuRRoation, but j None Wants to Bo a Pioneer. Would Benefit Seotion. The suggestion bas been made that ihe people of the South should take to wearing cotton goods, creating an In jreased demand for tho staple, and it ls for cotton exchanges to put the plan into effect and improve the con dition of the market in this way. In years gone by, cottonade was very extensively used In the Southern states iu the manufacture of trousers for Bummer wear and in those days there were no such trousers worn any where as were tbose made by the old hand looms. From the standpoint of comfort, durability and neatness, cot tonade trousers ar>> unrivalled and yet they have completely disapp?ared from the markot. Instead, the peo ple of the South are spe_ Aaa many millions of dollars, buying linen trousers wbioh are neither so neat nor so generally satisfactory as were the old-time cottonade goods. Many mil's would be established for the manufac ture of the goods, while thousands of old looms would also be brought back into operation to supply ti e demand for the cotton goods. The 'many thousand dollars which people of the South spend for woolen and linen clothing would bo spent for cotton goods If the demand could be only created by popular fashion, and lt re mabas for the ootton exchanges of the S luth to Introduce the distinctively Southern kind of dress. The suggestion was recently made by the New Orients States that the members of the cotton exchange in that city should inaugurate cottonade wearing by dunning the suits them selves and leaving it to the ot" er com munit leos of the South to foll w suit. The matter haB been -talker about by the New Orle ins people, but no definite steps have been tannas yet along tho line of the suggestion, and lt is yet too soon to say whethe the suggestion will be put luto prac tice. The Charleston Post says: The Charleston cotton exchange people also refuse to commit themselves on the pr? position, preferring to walt the acion of the New Orleans ex o ranges and the other cott< n b dies of the South. A leading member of the Charleston cotton exchange thought that the suggestion ( f cot tonadc wearing was a good one, but he was not willung to take the Q'St step of wearing this form of dress or declaring his intention to do so. The suggestion was a good erne in hi* n Ind, and along the lines of great di versifiait! 'ii of the uses of the staple and he could see no n ason why the superior form of clothing Bhould not be adopted, but still, the wearing of cottonade is now looked upon as an Innovation, although the goo is were formerly itulto common, and he does not think that the t-uggestion can be put into practice unless a general and c nicer ted movement along this Une should be inaugurated, and he thought that there would be some trouble in starting this movement, and getting well under way. The agitation of wearing cottonade should bo pressed, he said, as it offered the t nly hope of a more general use of olothing and the more clothing of the kiud which is used the greater the demand for the staple and larger the benefits to the farmers and busi ness interests of the South. State Cotton AnHuciatlon. Tho harmony and earnr stness which characterized the cotton growers con vention In Columbia las*, week pro na S?S success to the movement. All of the officers chosen are practical men, and are devoted to the plans that the cotton farmers have organized to carry out. Not one of them have po litical axes to grind, and all of them are In a p sltlon to devote their time and energies to make a success of the movement the farmers are engaged in, which means so much to all class es In the South. To make the move ment a complete success every one must, do his duty in upholding the hands of those who have been entrust ed with leadership. This is where in dividual work wi I come ii aud prove mest effective.

SHOTFEOM HISHOBSE The Crime Was Committed la Edge of Woods ia Hailing Distance of Some Farm Hands at Work la a Field. His Watch Missing. A special dispatch from Willlston to The State says tbat community was profoundly shocked Friday even ing upon learning that-one of its prom inent citizens, J. T. Smith, Jr., was foully murdered about a mlle from town. As usual, Mr. Smith had rid den to his farm, and while riding through a narrow strip of woods was shot from his horse. There were two shots Orcd, wh'ch wore heard by sev eral persons, and the horse was seen 0 )mlng out of the woods and was caught by a negro tenant. Tbe woods lu which tho crim" was committed ls surrounded by open Melds In which were men at work, and it seems impassible for the murderer to bave committed this crime in daylight and escape. The shots were heard about half an hour b fore nark, and in the edge of woods not far from a ten ant h< use. As soon as the horse wns brought to town without his rider a party was made up and search begun. The body was found about 8.30 p. m. There were two shots which had Uk en efl-ct, one in the side of the fae and arm and the other full in the faoo. His watch being gene, points to robnery as the motive. B'.ood-'oui ds nave been telegraphed for and every tblug possible is being done tu locate the murderer. Mr. Smith was a prominent Mason, K of P , and was nor, known to have an enemy In the world. Tne community ls highly wrought up but there has been no rasti talk so far, but th?re is a deter mination to find the criminal if pos sible. STILL A MYSTERY. A dispatch from Williston to The State sa\s there has been nothing in the t'iwn which has inflicted such ai shock aa the revi li lng murder of J. I T. Smith, Jr., Friday afternoon avout 4 30 o'clock. Mr. Smith had ridden out to one of hla farms about a mile from town, and wolle In a small strip of woodlane" on the place he w? s shot from his horse. Two dischargts were fired, the one fired while he was on hts horse, entering the neck at the side, severing the jugular vein and breaking the ver ebrae; the other, which was fired when the victim wis on the ground, entered the central ! portion of the face, inflicting a horrl ble wonnd. The weapon which in 1 fllcted the wounds was a shotgun, dis charged ab close range of a few feet. As soon as the searching party which had been hastily organized upon the reaching of the concldfdon of foul play, found the body, a,!jury was empaneled and an lnve>. j^tion begun, but as_wViaence could be discovered considere tlon and decision were postponed ur til Mon day. As soon ss the search ng party reached Willlston bloodhounds were sent for. Hy 1 o'clock p. m., Sheriff Creech and Supervls ir Morris of Barn well aril ved with the chaining hounds. These dogs were immediate ly carried to the spot and every effort made to strike trail, but nothing was accomplished. Wtllistcn is at sea. A horrible murder has been committed and there ls no trace of evidence as 'to the per petrator of the foul deed. In the cloud of gb om which rests upon the tow.i there ls a silent, yet Intense, de termination to put forth every i flort to find and ferret every clue which will bring the murderer to his due. Mr. Smith was Just in the prime of his manhood. In the estimation of every one he stood in the forefront of Willlston's best citlz mhip; a man of shrewd bmliiess intell> ct. of broad mindednt s?, a man of pleasing man ners and of universal i stet m, he wa-, a potent factor tn this community s life. The fact that h.: was the man that he was is what makes it the more dltilouit to arrive at a bc sis of operation for the detection of the criminal. A KEG KO A II NESTED. Jasper Singleton, to.orcd, was ar ri sled at Willlston on Saturday, charged with the ass">sdnati in of Mr. J. T. Smi.h, Jr., Friday night. The evidence against h;m ls purelj oin urn stantial aud lt may ba that a iuhur invalidation will reveal that be ls not i be right mau. This inquiry ls no* in progre;s and until all the supposed evidi nee is in band it will be impos sible to say whether there is enough to hold bim for trial. Mr. S r 1th was murdered Friday hi ?ht about a milt* fn ni; own. Wile riding through a -trip i f woods two shots were tired and ho fell dead from his borse. A snon as the riderless horse was seen a par y was formed to search for the murderer and the smirch was kppt up all night. Stturoay morning Single ton was arrested and ls now locked up. Mr. Smith wa.? one of the most prominent i itizet s of the ccinmuultv und bis foul murder has create i grtat indignation. Worn UI'H Whipping Maohin?. Frederick W. Peabody, the Host on lawyer who fa vois a whipping pott f,.r wife beaters In Mi sui :liu-?etts, says that he bas rcceivrd ideas con cerning a whipping machine from a woman. '"Some time ago," sall Mr. Peabody, '"a womiu came to me and told me that she had Invented a whipping machine willoh could be used with admirable results. Sue said that the Instrument, was HO made as to doll ver blows with equa.l foic, thus eliminating the passion of pity that with a human whipper, might Influence tho severity of the punish ment. Tne machine also would pro tect the small of the back so that no permanent injury could be done to tho criminal. It would also turn him about so that every blow might fall in a new pine."_ It 111 H DitUKhlor .mil Moir. Mrs L. H.

Sizer, of the Sizer Lumber company, went Iwforo Magistrate Harby and procur r'?>g for ov i ne in tas [tr ik es ns as >r, no vi issuance of a warrant for the f of P. R. Felder, on affidavit iug him with larceny in that he stole and carried away the sum ? beknglng to the Sizar Lumpier loy. The young mau for wuom -? rrant was Issued is well known li city, where he has resided for mJ yeare. He was the bookkeep ...he SiZ'i'r Lumber company, and i confidence of bis employes to C'.'.ent that he had charge of TO FL, of ^rcn? ma(^e UP the pay * 1 money due the o mp.my J'EHnmey from tho bank as /i7*rr?#r-/i)n",uctr of tbe business VU USUEL h? told 8(jme of b|B STATIOXAas going to Colorado e was to Ariz ina ai.d - We was going to (Juba checking up tbe bank raring it with the stubs WSf J?/* ook, discoven d a dis Ji ?120 and called Mr. F..ld o'ntion to lt. He admitted the .?paney and paid over to Mr. Slz-.-r ,u?t amount. Mr. Felder left there Sunday night on the 9 30 train for CJ lumbla, and his present? whereabouts are n >t known. Mr. Siz r continued hts lnvestigatu n and in a short time discovered an additional shortage of 9325. Tuen he deoided to have a war rant issued and to make a determined effort to bring about the arread of Fel der. lt is surmised, but not known with any degree of certainty, that Fel der went direct to Florida Sunday nihill, and by this time may be in Cuba It is reported, but not confirm ed, that he had a ticket to Cuba In his possession when he left thc olty. His method of misappropriating his employer's funds was simple, but ef fective. When he would make out the piyroll, of which he had full oharge, he would dil out a o eck for an amount greater than the payroll and put tbe difference lu his own pocket. To keep theeasb book straight he would enter on the stub of the check book the cor rect amount of the payroll. Then to make bis balance at the bank tally with the footing of the check book stubs he would, in bringing down the additions on the stubs, add in the amounts appropriated to his own use. A comparts m of the check with the corresponding stubs, when made, im mediately revealed the discrepancies. The books have not yet been thor oughly onecked up and it is possible that the shortage may exceed the amount charged ID the warrant. The young man had many friends in that city and bis downfall is not only a shock tu them all but causes keen re gret. _ Neither Ouud Nor Nice. The Chicago telephone girlls have brought serious charges against the stately matrons and pretty debutantes of the "Windy City. They allege that the men are not half so profane, even the glided youth who consider pro faulty to be an evidence of brains, as the women. The telephone girls de clare they are not prudes, nor do they keep the Sabbath nor do many things that real gooi girls ought to do, yet their ears are offended by the variety of oaths turned loose by the gentle maldenp and the mothers of gentle maidens In the seclusion of their homes, in commenting >;n the above The State voices our sediments ex actly when lt says "there ls no more sense)' ss habit than that of profanity; tho effectivene-vs of a "cuss word' ls nccasl nally impressive, but that is lost when they come in a meaningless stream.

Al ready one of the Associated Press' Russian correspondents places the Russian losses at 30.000 men and those of the Japanese at 40,000. lt is added that the attempt to draw a net around General Kuropatkin has not yet succeded, but lt is said tbat the Japanese from Slmmlntin are at tempting by forced marches to cut the Russian line of communication.

"At ten o'clock came another dis patch from General Kuropatkin which rea<1: "The Japanese are marching on Mukden. My position ls extreme ly dangerous." In government circles there is a conviction that General Kuropatkin has been fully beaten, that part of his army has been dispersed and that the railroad north of Mukden will probab ly be cut. I General Kuropatkin under da*e of March 3, says all attacks on the left Oink were repulsed with great lass to the enemy. He says the Japanese losses are great that they are con st) uctlng defense with the dead bodies of their fallen comrades. Killed Hortelf.
