A COTTON BUYING TBU8T.
be Greenville News Publishes an
Interesting Article About It.
I i thero a cotton buying trust In
outh GarqllnaV The Greenville News
xys.
The full story of the cotton syndlate
was not published on Friday
lornlng, and as the other ohapters
re forthcoming it shows that the
armors are praotlcally fore 3d to take
he bull by the horns and protect
hemselves against the evils which
,re depressing the market. In the
nterview Friday a man familiar with
he methods of the mills stated that
,11 oompotition had been removed and
hat the daily price was fixed by the
>rch!dcnt of the syndicate, who hap
>ened to be the president of a cotton
nlll in Greenville.
It might be well to says just here
,hat the things which have caused
uoh bitter complaint from the farters
are not confined to this city alone,
Vnderson, .Spartanburg, Union, (Jo
umbla, and in fact all mill centres of
Morth and South Carolina, have to
jattle with the same influence and
dement. Georgia and Mississippi are
rot In the clutches of the mill trust,
tnd export houses, which are not permitted
to buy in thi* state, can pur
diase all they want in Georgia, for
nstauce, and sell it to the Carolina
mills. Hut they cannot buy direct
'rom the Carolina farmers, for It'they
lo it means a boycott.
There are probably a dozen cottoi
brokers in Greenville. They represent
ill of the leading houses from Now
York to Texas, and they sell direct tc
the mills. These brokers never handle
iny aotual cotton. That is to say.
they receive prloes every day, and i
the manufacturers are satisfied with
>ne limits, s*ies can be made. Tlier
,he cotton is shipped in the mills.
If these brokers could go Into the
ooal marke^ and buy cotton from tin
'armors It would mean higher pr'c s
(reater competition, and thousandso'
loll&rs to the planters at the end oi
;he year. Hut they cannot do it
Why? Simply because this mill syn
licatc has given notice that if any ex
sort house attempts to buy lu ihe
Jarolinas it cannot hope to sell to thi
nills. There is an understanding arm
igrccment between the spinners an<
,he exporters and as a result, practl
sally all of the Carolina product It
aved for home consumption.

AWFUL SCENE.
Eight Men Were Blown Into
Fragments by an Explosion.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT
On the Pennsylvania Railroad Ne a
New Cumberland, Pa., on Saturday
Morning. The Body of One
Man Picked Up Two Hundred
Yards Away.
Eight >uen were blown to pieces and
two others injured by the premature
explosion of a big blast of rock powder
on the Pennsylvania raiiroad Improvements
near New Cumberland, Pa., at
7:30 o'clock Saturday morning. The
accident occurred directly across the
Susquohanna river from the scene of
the Pennsylvania railroad wreck on
May 11, in which twenty-three persons
were killed and many others injured.
All the victims of Saturdayls disaster
were employes of P. S. Kerbaugh
& Co., incorporated, contractors, who
are building the double tracks for the
Pennsylvania railroad to connect with
the Enola yards. The bodies of the
men were terribly mauagled and particles
of tlesh and bone were scattered
for 200 yards from the scene of the
explosion.
The dead are:

Three Italians and one Slav, known
inly by numbers
The Injured are:
William Reed, colored, 20 years old,
i steam driller, skull fractured and Injured
internally. Reed Is at Harris
burg hospital.
G. C. Miller, 58 years old, of Ida
vllle, Adams county, bruised abjul
body, but not seriously.
Not a trace of the two oolored men
who were killed can be found and It Is
ujpposed their bodies were blown Into
the river, which is being dragged.
Au 1. quest was held Saturday afternoon
by Squire Ooble, of Lemoyne.
The Jury rendered a verdict of prema
aire explosion from an unknown cause
ind no blame Is attached to the contractors,
All the killed and injured were
laborers aside from Wiseman, whose
body was terribly mangled. What
could be found of it was ldentllied by
the fact that he dyed his hair. 11 is
scalp and a portion of bis head were
found on a bill, 200 yards from the
blast. Wiseman has been with the
Korbaugh company for tive years, and
nad gone to the scene of the explosion
to personally superintend the prepara
tlons for what Is called a "big shot,"
u<. uv ui?u uuuuajr 111U1 (1111X .
A "big shot" consists of a series of
blasts, the holes having been drilled
in a row, and the charges being set
oil' simultaneously by an electric
spark. Five of the holes had been
tilled with powder and the men were
on the sixth when the explosion oc
curred. It Is supposed that a small
stone had gotton Into the hole and
that the Iron bar with which the men
*ere "tamping" down the charge,
caused a spark by scraping on the
stone and that this ignited the powder.
John SLietter, the tireman of a
"dinky" engine, 150 foet away, was
thrown to the ground by the force of
the explosion and slightly injured by
dying debris. Miller was sitting at
the door of the shack were the men
bunk, 200 feet from the blast, and
was blown 20 feet and badly bruised
One Italian escaped because a fel
low workman had playfully snatched
his hat and ran with it. The owner
ran after the man with the hat and
had just got out of the range of the
explosion when it occurred. An Ital
ian water boy, 12 years old, who was
on his way to the men with a bucket
of water, was hurled 50 feet. Every
stitch of olothing was torn from his
body. A leather belt containing 1312
in paper monev. sunnnspd t,n I
_ ? , WW uviv/u^ UV/
one of the men, was picked up near
tbe scene of the explosion. Pieces of
flesh and bone were found fastened In
the telegraph wires over the railroad
tracks. The fragments of the bodies
were placed in rough caskets after the
coroner's Inquest, and they were
burled Sunday.
There were no buildings In the immediate
vicinity of the explosion and
there was no damage except for the
destruction of a few telegraph poles
and a large tool shed in a nearby,
quarry, which was torn clear out and
drawn fifteen feet toward the scene of
the blast.
The explosion shook the country
for miles around and broke many wludows
in Harrlsburg and towns aoross
the river. Twelve hundred and fifty
pounds of rock powder had been unloaded
just before the explosion, but
it was not disturbed.
Burglar Shot.
A dispatch from Macon, Ga., says:
"Sellers Crumley, a negro, who was
killed in a shooting affray near Oomulgee
Park; was a noted burglar and was
being searched for at the time of his
death. He was charged with having
entered several homes in Macon in
the past month, and his death is considered
a relief to the commnnito
Charlie Jo * ?son, the negro who killed
him used a revolver after Orumely had
tired Into a street ear loaded with negroes.
Orumely had disputed with
Johnson and was attempting to end
his life."
To Put On Passenger Trains.
The ratlaoad commissioner will

the Inspection they will go over to the
big power plant at Neal Shoals where
Ool, T. 0. Duncan and his associates

Commissioner Tutum UItm Out * (J
Statement About It.
The follow I statement was made
by Commissioner Tatum in regard to t
the money lost by Dispensary Inspec- t
tor Brown: r
"Inspector 0. L. Brown was sent to f
Charleston by me to do some detective
work; be usually has b:en used
by myself, as well as my predecessor, J
for this kind of work when needed.
While in Charleston performing these '
duties, Mr. S. S. Matthews, dispenser (
at Charleston, failed to remit to the '
state treasurer, as required by law. 1
had adopted a rule, which requires 1
each dispenser who falls to remit during
the week to be visited and inspect- 1
ed, and under this rule Mr. Matthews '
statement was Bent Mr. Brown, he be- '
lug on the ground. The report of the *
settlement shows that on the 12th day '
of June Mr. Brown made settlement
with Mr. Matthews and found him '
short $1,(148.40, and received payment 5
of that amount. This report was re
celved at this otllce on the 14th; same '
day Mr. Brown reported to me verb- '
ally his misfortuuc, stating that he
had some other moneys In the loil
pocketbook belonging to the state 1
along with some of his own. To set
tie up Mr. Brown's account, we made
up $1,824.87; Mr. Brown paid $242 00
Tills amount was made up by my 1
friends and myself, not a cent being
contributed by any one not connected 1
with the institution; all voluntary; no J
one being asked by me to contribute
The question of bond did not enter 1
the matter at all, as I was advised by
the assistant attorney general, inas- (
much as the law did not Impose the
duty to collect such money on mo or
the inspector, that neither my bond 1
nor Mr Brown's was liable for a cent 1
of the money. But the dispenser was 1
still liable on his bond. The law pro '
vides that dispensers remit directly
13 the state treasurer. His recolpt is 1
the only legal discharge for them. 1
"It was entirely a moral question
with me. 1 did not propose that the 1
state lose anything during my admin (
Istration by myself, or appointees. 1
The custom has been ever since there
has been an Inspector for him to col
lect shortages, authorized by the 1
board, as records will show. 1 have
however, since I found that they are !
not responsible under their bonds for *
any moneys collected, issued the fol* '
lowing order, which records will also '
show: 1
" 'To Inspectors of the South Carolina j
Dispensary: j
" 4In making settlements with dis 1
ponsers where there is a difference in 1
favor of the state, do not accept that
difference in money, tut require dispenser
to make remlttancj to the state,

by pi stotllce order, express order, ex
press, or certified check.
" 'See that this is done and then '
give them credit upon the presents

sources that the amount has been forwarded
to the state treasurer.' " ,

PASS HIM AROUND. <
\ Young llanoal Who Worked Colli
in Ilia and Skipped'
The Record says W. A. Morris Is
the name of a smooth artiolo who
worked Columbia last week, and a
search Is now being made for him.
Morris went to Columbia representing
himself as an artist connected with
Munsey's magazine. He claimed to
be one of ability and was generally be
lieved. Several of the prominent
young men around the city took up
with him and he was generally treated
well.
Requests were made once or twice
for an exhibit of his skill as an artist,
but he generally hau a way of dodging
when the time came for a sketch.
So rapidly did this young man work
his game that In a short two days he
made his tirst application for a loan
and got It. Only one of his new acquaintances
had suspicion that everytnlng
was not all right and he tele
graphed the Munsey people in New
York. Toe following reply was received:
? ^ - ?
A><?vc uu uno uu urtisis man nil men (
Morris Must be imposter." Morris
must have had an Idea that he had j
been found out, for he disappeared at (
once before the telegram could be ^
brought to his attention. Incidentally (
he neglected to settle a board bill and
one or two other little matters that *
had been termed lines of credit. All
efforts to trace him have failed and
Munsey has offered to bear all expense j
of prosecution if he should be found.
People everywhere should be on the
lookout for this smooth article.
Tho Itioo Crop.
The government monthly crop re* 11
port shows that not all the reduction
has been in cotton acreage. The
acreage in rice is lessthan that of
last year by about 172,000 acres or y
20 per cent, The condition of the 1
crop Is also below that of last year, i
These facts are of vital interest to ?
the rice planters of this section, who i
have for the last two or three years i
been forced to suffer the depression k
in prices resulting from a tremendous (
increase in the yield of American g
rice A reduction in acerage of 20 (
per cent should have its effeot upon g
the prices of the cereal next fall.?

Pho Statement Showing the Amount }
ot Tax Tax Receipts.
The State says at the meeting of
he Clemson trustees the board of fer- i
lllzer control submitted the following
eport of the fertilizer department,
or the year ending June 30th, 1905.
As the annual tabular Information
n full oannot be available, until bul< i
etins covering the whole season's work ]
s published, and all bills In the hands ,
>f the treasurer, this report is only
>artlal.
"The receipts from sale of fertilizer
>ags amounts to 9120 027 45.
"The board of fertilizer control conceding
the Importance of having the 1
fertilize! tlscal year correspond with
that of the college, ohanged the time
to that the fertilizer year shall end
aereaftcr on the 30th of June each
vear. The secretary was therefore in- !
itructed to notify the manufacturers
md dealers of fertilizers to send in for
redemption in money all unused tags
In their possession, by the 30th day of
June.
"In compliance with this notice,
tags have been sent in amounting to
18,1(57.03, which have been redeemed.
"liy dec noting this sum from the
total, viz: 1127,027 82, we have left a
balauceof 9118,469.82 from which the
expense of inspection and analyses is
to be deducted. Of this sum, the
imoent of 920,805.50 was received from
cotton seed meal tags, which is 910,230.75
in cxoess of last year, due to
the tagging of all meil used for stocs
rood, and which has hitherto been exempt
by law.
' On account of the vastly Increased
business in fertilizers, and the evident
Importance of a closer and more rigid
Inspection of fertilizers, the board
Jeemed it advisable, In fact necessary,
to double the force of inspectors. It
was also found necessary to increase
the wages of these inspectors, in order
to get suitable men for the work.
"In order to keep the people of the
8tate promptly informed as to the
1 luallty of fertilizers beinir sdd. the
jnemical force was lustruced to Issue
weekly bulletins of the analyses of fertilizers
and mall them to the people of
the State.
"Toe board of trustees will readily
tee that on account of these increased
lemands the cost of inspection and analyses
has been Increased considerably,
and If -the demauds of the people
ire met for full information as to the
malysis of fertilizers during the coming
season, and your committee believes
they should be, the cost will
still be more increased another year.

THREE ABOMINATIONS.
That Should Not he Allowed to K main
on Any Farm,
There are three things on farms
that aro abominations.
The three are mean teams, rusty
tools, and crooked rows. These three
evi 1 s are the farmer's own fault. A
iood team can bj had at any price.
If you have a "run away" team you
Have yourself to blame. They show
their "raisin'." Treat them kindly
ind they will treat you right. A team
that you c?ntiot trust is not a team
for the farm. Get rid of "runaway"
Horses.
Get llrst class tools and keep them
In llrst class oondltlor. You have
icon while out In the country a plow
itc, a harrow there, and a cultiva
b' r yonder, and mowers and binders
in the shade of a tree.
Won't there bo a happy time when
the farmer who left his tools and
machinery out In the weather starts
.0 farm? Won't his old plow "shed"
ihe soil rapidly?
Won't his cultivator shovels work
rmooth? Well I guess not? It will
^ake several days scouring and in
jhat time he has lost more religion
jhan he can get hack in a year's
iime. Keep tools in the shelter.
Some farmers make rows so crooked
ihat they cannot follow them and
ihey blame the team, the tools, "the
>ld boy" and all things on earth exiept
the man who laid off the rows.
Straight rows tell the world the
ove to farm and you love it enough
M giye your b ist attention to keep
ihe rows straight. Keep your rows
m a bee line on a level piece of land
)r comparatively so. If land has
iierraces follow them.
Three points more and 1 am done. ,
Qet a good team. Get good tools.
Vlake straight rows and see how much
