ton Association.
Opportunities lying within the
^ grasp of Dixie land and a recapitulation
of its vaHt n?courcoi? were pre*.
nented before the Southern Comroercial
congress at ItH opening meeting
iu Washington Tuesday.
That the cotton crop of the South
Is the mainstay of all the tiuancial
institutions of this country and is
In no wise involved as a sectional
question was the declaration of Harvie
Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton association, who opened
the first session as its chairman.
He reviewed the history of cotton
production for the past 3 0 years
and spoke of the future prosi>octs
for the South relative to cotton production,
incidentally introducing
Rome statistics. lie added that if
half the ratio hold good for the next
30 years the demand for cotton by
the Southern mills would be vastly
increased.
"If more of the farmers in the
South would redouble their olTorts
the production could greatly be increased.
" With this etntomuet, G.
W. Kiner, commissioner of agriculture
of Virginia, made a plea for
increased energy on the part of
agriculturalists of the South. He
said that no section of the globe
offered greater opportunities for investment
than the South and spoke
particularly of his own State.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
llayes was not able to bo present.
His address was read. Selene? and
education combined with the new
spirit of the times, said Mr. Hayes
In his address, "are clearing to the
Hf docks for most wonderful activities
in the South."
"The South of today, in so far
as the development of its resources
. 4. is concerned. Ih in the first flush of
Hb youth," whs the happy introduction
lo an address delivered by Hugh
McRae of Wilmington, N. C. Ho declared
that from an Industrial standpo.'nt
the South had to be born over
again and that it had required 4 0
years since the Civil war to accumulate
capital Bufllcient to do things,
but that no wit was on the threshold
of a great future, having groat
opportunities within its grasp. He
dwelt upon the necessity of immi-4
gration to the South and what the
lack of it had cost that section. Mr.
j j McKae expressed tho belief that inC
creased immigration wonld tend to
solve the raco problem.
The South has a monopoly on yellow
pine, the great structural timber,
and its hickory is the beet
vehicle wood ever produced, declared
Assistant Forester Kellogg of the
United States forest service. He also
stated that timber had been cut
in wasteful fashion. He pointed out
that the government, too, had a duty
to perform in the maintenance of
the Southern forests.
^ > Oen. J. S. Carr, of Durham, N. C.,
.. ~ aepioreu mo iaci mm raw material
l of the South was more largely converted
Into the manufactured product
in other sections, ulthough the
South contained all the essential prequisites
for manufacturing. Ho presented
an array of ltgures showine
the wealth of the resources of the
South and urged the necessity of o
1 vigorous campaign for the bringing
of capital to that section.
John.L. Matthews, of St. Louis,
sail (hat n transportation company
in St. Louis, organized with a capital
of $10,000,000, which in a very
short time will have to increase its
capital to $25,000,000, proposes to
navigate the deep channels of the
Mississippi with deep boats and shallow
ehartyois with shallow boats
It was proposed, he said, to put on
coftRt line steamships and trains of
barges for sea-towing to all the principal
ports of the South, including
Ponsiioola, Tampa, Jacksonville,
Charleston and all Intervening points.
Mr. Matthews said that whorever
I i on the smaller rivers proper means
i of transportation were provided the
[ boats of this company would come to
thiem an! take off their cargoes.
It further is proposed to go out of
Vow Orleans to anv nmnf in

I other contributory points he urged
the necessity of utilizing the shal
low rivers.

CHANGE OF POLICY
SOUTHERN NEGRO OFF ICE-HOLDERS
HLITKD TO GO.
Tai't to Appoint NV^jiws
to Oflleo In tho North, Instead of
in tho. South.
"That President Taft is going to
uppoint Northern negroes to oftlce
rather than Southern oneB Ih the information
which haa b?H>n pretty
thoroughly discusRed among tho politicians
of Washington and elsewhere
since Hooker Washington was there
last week," says the Washington
correspondent of Tho News and
Courier.
As tho result of thin policy it is
expected that tho uogrocH In tho
South who uro holding Important
offices will, ?? their terms expire,
he displaced for tho most part by
whites, and in turn recognition will
be given to colored men in the North.
Tho list of colortsl ni??D holding important
offices in the So-uth under the
federal govern meat includes the following.
:
Robert Smalls, collector of customs
at Beaufort, 8. C.; Henry A.
Rucker, collector of internal revenue
at Atlanta, On.; Joseph Lee,
collector of Internal revenue at Jacksonville,
Flo.; Nathan H. Alexander,
register of the land office at Montgomery,
Ala.; Thomas V. McAllister,
receiver of public moneys at Jackson,
Miss.; Walter L. Cohen, register
of the land office at New Orleans;
Alexander IS. Kennedy, receiver
of public moneys at New Orleans;
John E. Bush, receiver of public
moneys at Little Rock.
The course the President will take
in the matter of appointing colored
men is likely to be illustrated in tho
selection of a successor to W. T.
Vernon, register of tho treasury.
Booker T. Washington and other
colored leaders have given their support
to J. C. Naples, of Nashville,
for the place, but it appears that the
President will probably select u colored
man from the North.
Washington was in Washington a
few days ago, and it is Raid that he
protested when ho learned that
neither Vernon nor Ralph Tyler, the
latter as auditor for the navy department,
were to be ousted. Neither
of these pull with Washington.

A dispatch from E) Paso, Tox.,
says Fritzi Scheff stopped ono of
Mrs. E. II. Harrimuu's passenger
trains in the heart of the Arizona
desdert while she took a bath. The
train was running fast and rocking
a good deal, ho that when Miss HehefT
attempted to take her morning ublution
the water insisted on hitting the
ceiling of her private car. This wub
too much. The conductor was notified
and stopped his train on the
first siding, which happened to be
Stein's Pass. He telegraphed to the
dispatcher that he would have to
have new running orders, as Miss
Scheff insisted on remnlnlng there
until her bath was finished. The order
was complied with, as Miss
Scheff was paying for the train.

In substance tho reported changes
In the conduct and care of the Pullmans

A little white Rirl about 13 years

it tie before 9 o'clock Monday mornng.
when she was approached by
i negro fiend about 18 to 19 years
M age. Without warning, the nerro
seized her and drugged her into
[he woods near at hand, the girl
icrcumlng and fighting.
A young inan by the name of
IturgeHM, who lives 1 nthe neighborhood.
and who was on the road in
his buggy, heard the screams of the
little girl and hastened to the scene.
Ay he approached he saw the litt'e
girl on the ground in the clutch of
the fiend, whom he recognized and
who broke and ran into the woods.
Mr. Burgess gave his immediate
attention to the j>oor ,Utle girl,
whose clothes had been nearly torn
from her person In her struggles
with the devlish fiend. 8ho was terribly
alarmed and in a hysterical
condition.
Meanwhile the alarm was spread
in the community and a vigorous
march instituted. The news came to
Kingstree, and a party was organized
and started up the road to join
in the hunt. Before this party
reached the ace.no of the attorn nt

AVIATOR MKKTS I)K\TH.
French Aeroplwiist Fails While
Using Machine First Time.
A dispatch from Nice, France,
says Antonio Fernandez, an aviator,
met death a few days ugo while
Hying for tho first time in au aoroplaue
of his own invention at the
new areodrome ,near the mouth 3i
the Var.
The accident appears to have been
due mainly to the inexperience and
recklessness of the aviator, who
impatient at the delay and not heeding
the expostulations of his mo
chaniean, patched up a defective pari
of the machine by binding it witb
common twine. The aeroplane sailed
off gracefully, amid the cheers o|
the spoctators, and the inventor'*
hopes seemed to be fulfilled, when
after going two hundred metres and
gradually rising, the aviator attempted
to make a turn too sharply, and
the machine tipped over in the twinkling
of an eye.
Fernandez was hurled headlong tc
the ground, striking with terrific
force, with the wreck of his aeroplane
on top of him. Willing hand*
lifted tho mass of debris and the
aviator was found crushed beneath
the motor, his head having been
driven into the soft earth by th?]
impact.
Tho victim took up aviation quite
recently, devoting all of his time tc
it. He was convincod that his machine,
which resembled both the
W-rlght and the Curtlss machines,
was absolutely superior to either.

The approach of Christmas fore
bodes tho annual "unprecedented"
rush that the post office and ox prom:
companion will be called upon to
hoar. Tho many appeals that the
press in behalf of suffering humanity
has hurled at the people beseeching
them to shop early has had the
uestreu eneei in many instances and
much shopping has btn-n disposed of.
Assuming, however, that the pr**^
'iits ho purchased are to ho sent any
distance the question arises how?
Ah the m?>?8cngor and etnge roach no
longer servo the mails and lightning
expresses will have to substitute.
"Mail early" and "express early"
should be companion expressions to
tho "shop early" slogan.
Postmasters and ox press managers
all over tho country are urging
the people to "come early and avoid
the rush," and aa A. D. Webster, post
master, and Harry Dawson, local
manager for the Southern Express
Company, are only human, notwithstanding
the phenomenal way thoj
take care of the Christmas rush
they will, 011 behalf of clerks ami
messengers and drivers, shower bless
lugs upon tho people who will shi|
their presents now instead of wait
ing to get in line at tho layt minut*
with those who have no choice bir
to be late.
Hotter late than never is para
phrased by those oilleials to "bettoi

nation before Christmas, while tin

act.
The poHtoiltces all over the countr>
find it necessary some 10 days be
fore Christmas to inht;i 11 extra clerks
to earn for the rapidly increasing

at the Orangeburg postotlico ver >
noon now, but even with the increased
facilltieH for handling the rush
of Uncle Sam's burden, sumo presents
from procnstin<ng persons arrive
a few days after schedule time,
If the senders are very, very tnrcly
they may be transformed into New
Year offerings.
The express company is putting
out placards urging their patrons to
hurry along with their packages and
get the best service. These cards
announce, "Do not wait until the
last day; ship your Christmas presents
now." They also furnish red
labels with which the packages ship
ped early but intended for Christmas
are decorated.
These labels read; "I)o net open

the sender following the request,
The label will at once attract th<

of many battles In tho flivi.)

Among merchants 'in tho country,
j where the trade is not largo enough
to employ some one in the store all
the time, a discarded plow was hung
up by a wire rear the store and the
t heating on the plow with another
1 iron instrument, notified the proprietor
that a customer awaited.
While fit supper Wednesday
. night Mr. Kendrick heard beating
on the plow and when he finished
the meal went, store hey in band,
to ascertain what was wanted.
j the aged man w.is tn the act of
entering his place of business bo
was struck with a piece of wood,
a terrible blow on the head, oaus,

Mr, K end rick was rendered uuoonscions
and probably would have died
in the i>o>dtion in which ho was !??'
by his murderer, but a neighbor, Mi
Ellis I,owls, hearing the noise made
by the plow, finished his supper and
casually strolled to the KondricU
store to buy a piece of tobacco.
As lie approached the place he noted
that there was an ominous silence
about the store. Iu the Kan1
drick residence, which, ??s stated.
t
is only a short distanco from the
store, a light was shining brightly.
I Down the road near the store the
I fast retreating form of a human
i being was seen by Mr. Lewis. The
murderer had seen some one up
' proachiug and was getting away
, from the scene as fast as possible.
; His evident intention of robbing the
' aged man had failed.

t J Mr. Lewis walked on to the store
! and as he climbed the steps he saw
a key in the lock unturned, a bloody
stick near and the body of Mr.
f Kendrick lying on the tloor unconscious
in a pool of blood.
Horrified at first, but realizing tho
awful condition of affairs and tho
necessity of immediate action, Mr.
Lewis allowed the fleeing form to
r go oa his way unmolested ifor the
time and In as tender manner as
possible he lifted the prostrate, blood
^ bedrenched and almost lifeless form
n of his neighbor and friend and took
^ it to his home where his family
was watting for him entirely unaware
of a tragedy which hud been
, enacted onlv a few yards fro nHheir

The neighborhood was aroused.
H Willing friends volunteered their
ft
services. One went five miles to
rl Appling for Dr. J. L. Weeks, the
family physician, while many oth? r
( wlll'ng hands did all in their powor
to resuscitate the then dying man.

The news of the terrible affair

, hurried to the Kondrlek home.
About two hours after sustaining
f the Injury Mr. K end rick became enn,
Hcious. Ills terrible wonnd prohibit'
