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.

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

must, do his duty in upholding the
hands of those who have been entrust

A FOUL DEED
A Citizen of Williston Killed from
Ambush in Open Daylight.
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."_

A VERY 8AD STORY
Of the Downfall of a Young Man at

,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

the women. The telephone girls de
clare they are not prudes, nor do they

A GEB AT. BATTLE
Sos Been Saging Between tba Japi
?nd Russians Five Dayl
In Which the Japanese Have Loaned |
Forty Thousand Olen and the
Rusalana Thirty Thousand.
? dispatch from St. Petersburg
says the battle raging at the front bas
assumed enormous proportions. 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.
Arrivals at Newohwa^g from the
Mukden road report that the Japanese
are enveloping the olty and that its
fall?s imminent. A strong force is
moving southeast from Kikumen.
General Nok'l is advancing north along
the Llao river.
The Japanese on Friday out off a
Russian division, rour Sot?las of Cos
sacks and 20 guns, endeavoring to re
gain Mukden. The Russian were
routed and they retreated toward Tie
piss, abandonlug their wounded. The
Japan?se raid on Slamlntln drew re
inforcements from the Russian sta
tions on the Mukden trail to the city
which ls threatened and all tho out
posts had been recalled to strengthen
its defense.
At. 10 o'clock Saturday mornlpg a
Russian division encountered Japa
Lese scouts near Laopien, 12 miles
from Mukden. Near lhere a right oo
curred which resulted In a Russian
rout. The R issians, lt ls reporte!,
Inst five offlji-rs ami 200 men killed.
The Japaneso less is unknown.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg
says: "General Kuropatkin in a tele
gram which arrived ber* at 7 o'clock
Saturday evening said 269,000 Japaa
ese had broken through the Russian
left wing and that lt was out or? from
the remainder of the army.
"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.

sajs Miss Katie D.>t30u. the 19 years
old daughter of Richard Dots .n, of
Pooler, placed thc butt of a shotgun
against a fence, push the trigger with
a stick and sent the charge through

THE HEW TAX LAW
Brine:? in Considerable C*ah to
State X. casu ry.
The Columbia Beoorrl say Hbo larg
est return made to tbe comptroller
general under tba new tax law was
that by the Southern raliway, wbicb
shows that the taxes under this act
alone, exclusive ot all other county,
city and state taxes, will amount to
921,000, unless a obange ls made and
the protest, which tbe tax depart
ment has been notified cf will go /
through. ,s
The return under tbe law is mada
on the gross receipts of the cuaima*
done in this state by foreign corpora
tions and Vice President Andrews
has notified the comptroller general
that the ca'oulation was based on the
proportion of business on tba mileage
in this state which may make some
mianga. This matter will cc me up
bef ?re the state board at their meet
ing.
Thom ar d3 of dollars in cbrcks have
been received in the office and the re
turds by foreign and domestic com
I panics exceed all of tbe calculations.
I The largest check ri o Jived so far was
1 for $1,100 from tbe Charleston Mining
company, which inclosed the check
wli h tbe return and did not walt un
til tbe return had been approved by
tbe office. The taxe* paid by the
Atlantio Co -sr, Line company will
amount to abjut 812,000.
The other foreign corporations have
not vet signified any intention of pro
testing, but several of tue domestlo
companies are writing that the law
will be fought. Tbls, however, will
ha'dly amouunt to anything as lt is
reasoned that tbe large corporations,
employing the best of legal talent,
are paying or making the returns
without murmur and that If they are
not finding any fliw In the law there
ls little doubt but that it is constltu
?ir>na'.
