May Break the Hecord.
The State says over $11,000,000
repesents the amount invested in enterprises
in South Carolina since the
first of the year which is an unprecedented
record for the State as to
the capital used. In several instances
companies were organized and rechartered,
but the m/ajority of the
$1 1,000,000 represents new business.
The records In the secretary of
state's office shows that to April 1
charters were issued to companies
with a capitalization of over $7,000,000.
Since April 1 several large companies
have been chartered and rechartered.
The Charter of tiie Pelzer Manufacturing
company will expire at an
early date and a new charter in per
petuity was secured. This concern
has a capital of $1,000,000 and was
chartered by the legislature in 1880
for a term of thirty years. The
Pelzer Manufacturing company is a
pioneer in the texile industry in this
State and is one of the most successful
manufacturing concerns.
'Another large company to receive
a charter since April 1 was the Santee
River Cypress Lumber company
of Ferguson in Orangeburg county.
The company has a capital of $1,500,000.
In connection with a general
lumber business, the company
will do a general mercantile business.
The secretary of state has turned
over to the State treasurer the sum
of *7 ,051.91 as charter fees received
since the first of the year and up
to April 1. Since April 1 over $2,500
has been received by the secretary
as charter fees which will he
counted on the presnt Quarter.
The total ara'ount received as charter
fees from January 1 to April 1,
1 QUO fi 1 4 8 whirJi nAarlv
$2,000 less than for the present year.
The total amount received in charter
fees by the secretary of State for
the year 1909 was over $20,000.
Judgiug the increase over the first
quarter of the year of 1910 and
1909, it is estimated that at least
$3 0,000 will be secured from charter
fees, which amount will be the
largest iu the history of the State.
The number of dissolutions for the
present year has been less than for
1909 to the present time.
T.he records in the secretary's office
show that the industries that
have been chartered are varied. There
have been a large num'ber of companies
chartered with capital stocks,
Tanging from $10,000 to $100,000.
A number have been incorporated
with over $1,000,000.
The largest number of companies
to be chartered were in Georgetown,
Charleston and Greenville. The increase
in these counties has been
most marked.
There has been special activity in
real estate. More than, a score of
large companies have been organized
in Charleston and Georgetown, 1
and especially Georgetown, which
oounty makes a fine showing for real
estate companies.
In Charleston real estate values
are said to have made phenomenal <
advances during the past few years, i
Properly is said to have doubled in i
value. This fact is shown that at ;
least a dozen substantial real es- i
?tate companies, backed by the lead- <
ing business men of Charleston, have
been chartered during the first thre?
months of the yea*. The cap * .1 of
these companies average from $u-.000
to over $200,000.

KILLED TWO MEN
JEALOUSY PROBABLY CAUSES A
DOUBLE MURDER.
Negro Mail in Jealous Rage $hoots
Down Two Negro Women in a
Field.
Evidently in a jealous fit of rago,
James Robinson shot and instantly
killed Willie Brown, about 35 years
old, and her mother, Fannie Brown,
all the parties being negroes, m the
lands of the McNamee Kaolin works,
near Bath, in Aiken county, Tuesday
I morning about eight o'clock.
.'The only eye-witness was a little
boy. From evidence given by him
at the coroner's inquest, it seems
that the two women were hoeing cotton
in a little patch near their home,
when Robinson was seen to come out
of the woods nearby with a riflle in
one hand and a satc-hel in the other.
I
Seeing that he was mad about
something, the woman asked him
what was the matter. Saying, with
an oath, "don't ask me what's the
matter," .he raised his gun to the
level of his waist and shot Willie
Brown, the dughter, the bullet entering
the right side of her body
just above the waist and lodging in
her body.
Running off ten or twelve feet,
Robinson turned and shot twice at
the mother, both shots taking effect,
one in the back and coming out
through her right breast, and the
other entering at the thigh and coming
out behind. Turning then, he
fled to the woods, were he met Caroline
Jeter, colored, who asked him
what he had been shooting at. Giv.

The coroner held an inquest over
the two bodies Tuesday afternoon,
but from the testimony nothing was
gathered as to the cause of the shooting,
although from outside sources
it is learned that Robinson and the
younger woman had been living in
intimate terms for some time, and
he must have heard some reports
that aroused his jealousy, causing
him to commit the double homicide.
He has been employed in the Southern
Railway yards at Augusta, Ga.,
for the past two years, making occasional
visits to his former home
in Bath. The coroner's verdict laid
the crime at his feet.
MOZAMBIQUE DESTROYED.
City on East Coast of Africa Hit
by Terrific Cyclone.
A terrific cyclone swept over Mozambique
on the east coast of Africa
early last week, killing hundreds
and destroying practically the
entire city. The details received are
meagre, but all reports agree that
the windstorm was the fiercest ever
known on the African coast in many
years and that the death roll will
be enromous. A coast-wise steamer,
carrying 400 natives, was caught in
the cyclone off the harbor of Mozambique
and overturned, drowning all
on board.
A number of small native craft
were swamped with loss of life and
nearly every house on the three islands
in the harbor was demolished.
Mozambique, 6,000 in population,
was formerly the metropolis
of the Portuguese possessions in Africa.
Its harbor is world famous. *
Colored Hoy Drowned.
The State says one negro boy was
drowned, and two others who had
gone to his assistance nearly lost
their lives Sunday afternoon while
playing in the pool just below wJtere

Murderer Arrested.
Dispatches from Bowlin,g Green,
Ky., tell of the arrest of a man who
answers the description of Joseph
Wendling, wanted for the murder of
Alma Kellner. The police say the
man talked inco-herently of having
blood on his hands. He had been
employed as a laborer in a Howling
Green mill only a week.
Getting Worse.
New Jersey has 7 0,000 negroes
without religion, said Rev. Trusty,
Sunday, in an address to the conference
of colored Presbyterian pastors
at Patterson, N. J. He went
on to say that crime and vice was on
the increase among the negroes.
Removed from Office.
Horace 1. jones, or i'ortiana, ore.,
special agent for the land office, .has
been indefinitely suspended from
service by the order of Secretary of
t.he Interior Ilallinger. Jones was a
witness against Hallinger and in support
of the charges made by Louis
R. Glavis.
Killed by ail Auto.
At Tampa, Fla., Mrs. J. H. Thompson
was run down by an automobile
driven by 'Mrs. Oscar Windhorst. The
skull of the woman was fractured
and she died in a few minutes. She
was struck just after alighting from
a car. Mrs. Windhorst was not arrested.
A BIG CROP NEEDED
NEW ORLEANS PAPER ANALYZES
THE SITUATION.
Says the World Will Need More Cotton
This Year Than It Ever Did
Before.
In a comprehensive review lately
of the cotton situation, The New Orleans
Picayune argues in favor of a
larger production of the staple, declaring
that while the speculative
element of the market is continually
advocating short crops and high prices
it will be a mistake for the American
farmers to allow these arguto
to f i 1 11 o i o fjarQinot a 1 ' hnro 1
muii LO tvy uiiutatv u k? /UA <?
planting.
It takes this position, this paper,
which is expert in the cotton business,
declares that the crop of the
past year was disastrously small and
the season ends with the shortest
visible and invisible stocks in a long
number of years. In the main the
ideas of this paper are harmonious
with those of the farmers in general
for the reason that the curtailed
production of the past year admittedly
necessitates a larger yield for
the new season, in order to meet the
actual necessities and requirements
of the world.
A big crop would sell not only
at satisfactory but at paying prices
because every hale of it will be
needed. With a short crop coming
011 top of the crop failure of last
year famine prices will be experienced,
but as always happens under
such conditions, profits, instead of
being equitably distributed, will accrue
to a comparatively few people,
the balance being left to suffer
the results of disastrously small
yields, which no amount of high
prices can make profitable. Moreover,
another short yield coming on
ton of t.he scarcity of the past sea
son would demoralize the spinning
industry of the world.
The Picayune believes, therefore,
that there is every incentive for
farnvers to repair the damage done
by the cold weather of Apri' an 1
t.he backwardness of the season generally.
Nothing is to be gained by
a short crop, while a good crop is
certain to sell at paying prices. The
mere planting of a large acreage
does not insure a good crop, but the
careful cultivation of a reasonable
acreage does help materially to produce
the best results.
It would, therefore, be ill advised
to permit early discouragements
to cause an abond a;..' of any of
the normal cotton acreage as long
as it is possible to replant. While
the season has been backward and
there has been a notable absence of
anfR nmict n ro It ic a f f 11 ou rl v
OUIliVylUi' I M.IIUIOVMI V/| it OVIli
enough for these adverse conditions
to change. A big cotton crop is
absolutely needed, no matter what
the speculators may say, and there
never was a time when there was
a greater certainty that a big crop
would prove profitable. *
STUDENT COMMITS SUICIDE.
Was Member of Junior Class and a
a Bright Young Man.
Alfred Evelyn Clayton MacRae, a
member of the junior class in the
university, a son of the late S. H.
MacRae, of Fayetteville, and a grandson
of the late Judge James C. Mac
Rae, committed suicide Friday between
12.30 and 12.45 at the home
of G. E. Donnel, Chapel Hill, N. C.,
by taking potassium cyanide. The
cause of the act is not known.
Going to an upper room at Mr.
Donnel's, where he was accustomed
to spending much of his time with
H. V. P. Vreeland, a friend, Mr. MacRae
took the fatal dose. He was
discovered a few minutes later by
Mr. Donnel w.ho was attracted to the
room by heavy breathing. Doctors
were summoned at once, but to no
avail.
Mr. MacRae seemed cheerful the
night proceeding his death and up
to within a fe v minutes of the deed.
He even talked freely of his plans
for the connng year. He was a
bright student and well known on
the campus. His death will be a
great sorrow to his many friends. *

FATAL FIGHT
One Soldier Kills Another in a Fisticuff
n Sulliran's Island
AFTER A HOT QUARREL
Artilleryman Accused of Striking
Another With a Chain.??His Head
Hits Curbing and Death Knsues.
The Two Soldiers Had Had a Disagreement.
i ne unarieston evening post says
Private Fry, of Company 144, coast
artillery, at Fort Moultrie, was
knocked down in a fight with another
soldier, said to be Private Murray,
and did not recover consciousness,
following the contact of his head
with the curbing in front of the
post exchange. Murray ia under arrest
at the Fort and will have to
stand trial for the d^ath of Fry.
It appears that the two soldiers
were at the post exchange, and got
into an altercation over some matter
or other, and Fry is reported to have
struck Murray with a chair, which
brought on a fight and it was proposed
to settle the difficulty outside,
after the manner of the hardy soldiers.
This was at about 8:45
o'clock. Outside the two soldiers
squared off, for their fight, and Mur- :
ray is said to have hit Fry a blow .
which knocked him down, and as j
he fell the soldier's head came in
contact with the curbing, and he lost
consciousness, which he did not regain.

The death of the soldier caused a

unexpected outcome of an ordinary ;
fisticuff, such as is frequently indulged
in among the fighters of the various
companies. Private 'Murray was
placed under arrest after the fight,
and is in a serious predicament. He
was terribly shocked by the result
of what at first promised to be only
a trifling matter.
Little or no official information of
the affair could be gotten from Fort
Moultrie Thursday, but the story
was current on Sullivan's Island, and
Fry's death gave rise to general discussion
of the trouble.
Murray, the soldier under arrest,
is of the same company as Fry was,
and is well known in Charleston,
where he appeared in the guise of a
clever and aggressive prize fighter,
meeting Riily Yeager in the local
ring for three hard battles, before
the Nonpareil Clur>. It is said that
Murray did not wish to fight Fry.
At the hospital on the island it
was thought that strangulation had
as much to do with Fry's death a?
did the blow on .his head, for before
he fell he also received a blow
to the stomach that caused him to
vomit.

Causes Serious Sickness.
"Watch the fly as he stands on the
lump of sugar, industriously wiping
his feet. He is wiping off the disease
germs; rubbing them on the
sugar that you are going to eat,
leaving the poison for you to swallow.
There is special danger when
flies drop into such fluid as milk.
This forms an ideal culture material
for the bai.lius. A few germs washed
from the body of one fly may develop
into millions within a few
hours, and the person who drinks
such milk will receive large dose"
of bacilli, which may later cause
serious sickness."

NO MOKE MOSQUITOES.
Experts Find a Fish That Destroys
Their Larvae.
Experts in the employ of the
United States government declare
that If Northern people will cultivate
three types of fish known as "top
minnows,'" sunflah and goldfish, the
mosquito pest will be a thing of the
past within a few years. Prof. William
P. Seal declares New York will
be rid of the bad Anopheles If her
people will cultivate the 'Gambusia
Aftinus" and the Hebranda Formnan

known as "top minnows" because
they ar? in the habit of being near
the surface and feeding there.
Both are to be found in vast numbers
in the South in the shallow
margins of lakes, ponds and streams
in the tide water regions. They are
also to be found in shallow ditches
and surface drains, even where the
water is but a fraction of an inch
deep. They find their way to the remotest
possible breeding places of
the mosquito and eat the mosquito
larve by the million.
Prof. Seal also advises Northerens
to cultivate gold fish and two hinall
kinds of sun fish, know as the
"roach" and the "shiner,' which live
