"" Dye Manufacturer Says Quality Is as Good as European. Patterson, N. J?Women may now get practically all of the color effects in dress goods that were known befor the war upset the dye industry, and will soon have every known color to choose from, all made in America fully as good in quality as ' those made in Germany or any other country, according to L. F. Stone, president ot the National Aniline ant; Chemical Company, who addressed tiie National Siik Association convention here today. Mr. Stone told many interesting things about the dye situation. The seriousness 01 it, as it was viewed two years ago, has largely disappear ed, he said. Large increases in production of dyestul'fs by the already established factories in this country, and the instalment of a large number of new factories, has so cleared the situation "that at the present time the production of the American factories will be enough to take care of the whole consumption of aniline -dyes in this country in the futures, for all of what I might term staple colors, and before another year has passed every color which i,* necessary to Americun consumers will be produced in thin country," In explaining the suet'OA? of the American dye factories, Mr, Stone said that benzole, from which practically all aniline colors are derived, was now being produced in this country at the rate of 30,000,000 gallons per annum, as against 3,000,000 trior to the war. so that there is an ample supply of this basic material. From it are now being manufactured largely such intermediates as aniline oil, betanapthol, paranipranilin, chlor benzole, dimenthyilin and paraphenylenediamine, so that American manufacturers of colors are able to get sufficient raw materials to manufacture enough colors to supply the ? whole consumption. "There is a ^popular impression," said Mr. Stone, "that American manufactured colors are not as good as those manufactured in Europe, Germany particularly, and this is an Impression I wish to definitely correct, in that it is not a fact for American colors are made from practically the same. chemical formulae as the European colors and are practically the fc**me product in every way. Situation Satisfactory. "The whole situation is at present very satisfactory, and every American consumer should be able to obtain practically everything he needs for next year.

Vienna.?The death of Emperor Francis Joseph last night occurred at 9:03 o'clock. The end was peaceful, the aged monarch passing away as though sinking into sleep. Among those in the death chamber at Schoen brunn castle was the heir apparent, Arnhduke Charles Francis Joseph. Shortly after midday there was an appreciable rise in the emperor's, temperature. Although he had beon about early to attend to state duties and had eaten a light meal, it was evident after 2 o'clock that a crisis was approaching. About 6 o'clock in the evening the attending physicans were almost ready to abandon hope, the patient lapsing slowly ipto unconsciousness. The emperor had been suffering from a bronchial inflammation but pneumonia developed and suddenly reached a critical stage, and from G o'clock on the chances of his surviving grew slimmer. Baron BuriJ.n, who in addition to being foreign min ister, is also minister of the imperial and royal household, was summoned. He left the sick chamber a little after 8 o'clock but hardly had reached his office when the death was announced. The death of Francis Joseph was known to but few people in Vienna last night but rumors which had been in circulation during the day vwov u (1VVIII uvci IUC city. Comments in the newspapers voiced regret that the emperor had not been spared long enough to see the end of the war, which according to the view here, nobody regretted more than he, as he never tired of assuring his inmates.

TOWN BONDS SELL AT A GOOD PREMIUM The $30,000 bonds for the water works and sewerage of the Town of, Conway were sold on Saturday to Robinson-Humphry-Wardlaw Co?,, of Atlanta, Ga. The sealed bids . were first opened and none being found satisfactory were rejected by the Commissioners and Council and the bonds were then auctioned off by Mayor Magrath, there being four buyers representing as many bond houses. The bidding lasted over a period of two hours and at times was very spirited. Mr. Patterson representing Robnison-Humphry-Ward j law Co., was the successful bidder, I paying par plus $1,275.00, purchaser 1 paying for litographing and legal opinion. The high price which the bonds brought is indicative of the high financial standing of the town and good management in the advertising and handling of the sale.

NEGRO ARRESTED IN DILLON HUNT Dillon, Nov. 22.?Arch Campbell, | a negro, is in custody and a posse is searching for John Johnson, also a negro, in the belief that these men were rseponsible for the murder of Hugh Harrelson and the assault on Mrs. Harrelson in the Pleasant Hill section of this county last Wednesday night. Bloodhounds led a posse to the bed in which Campbell, with whom Mr. Harrelson had trouble recently, was sleeping and the man was arrested on suspicion. Mr. Harrelson was killed with a blunt instrument, probably a plowpoint. After he had been felled Mrs. Harrelson was beaten with a club until she fell exhausted on the floor, the negro believing her to be dead. Rgaining consciousness Mrs. Harrelson screamed for assistance. As Mr. Harrelson did not respond, she rang the farm bell. This tocsin was answered by neighbors. Campbell was spirited away from the Dillon county jail for safe keeping as a lynching was feared. Feeling is running high and the community is highly wrought up over the murder and assault. Robbery is thought to have been the motive. Sheriff Lane arrested and lodged the Campbell negro in jail last night Today he secured bloodhounds and they trailed the Campbell negro to his.home. Later they identified him in jail. When the dogs did this feeling was so strong he was sent to Columbia or Florence. The sheriff's posse, the bloodhounds and about 500 citizens are on a hot trail of the Johnson negro who Mrs. Hurrolson Siavs attacked her. Feeling is very strong and a lynching is feared. Mrs. Harrelson will probably recover, although she is in condition. Inquiry ., at the penitentiary last night "brought the statement that Campbell has not been brought to Columbia. THANKSGIVING DAY WILL BE OBSERVED Conway is to-day observing the National Holiday in the usual manner. There are many who realize that this country as an entity has every reason to give heartfelt thanks I on this day. The country is not yet involved in war and her honor is intact. All over the country there is heard the song of industry and prosperity, even in the face of high prices and high cost of living. BUSINESS CHANGE HAS TAKEN PLAGE Mr. S. S. Sarvis, Jr., last week resigned his position as general manager with the Grier Mercantile Co., and accepted his old position in the stores of the Burroughs & Collins Co.

Columbia?Plans for the reception of the First regiment at Camp Moore, Styx, in Lexington county, went forward at a rapid pace. Capt. J. M. Graham, U. S. A., mustering officer, who has been on duty mustering out guardsmen in Massachusetts and New Jersey arrived in Columbia. The troops will leave El Paso Saturday, and are expected in Columbia Thanksgiving Day. Capt. Graham said that about 10 days would bo required to muster out the companies. Major Frank W. (lion, disbursing officer for the National Guard, was appointed quartermaster for the camp. He received a telegram from the War Department that stoves will be shipped to Camp Moore. The tents will not be floored, because of the short stay of the regiment at the camp. The adjutant general's office took up the matter of an additional telephone line to the camp. It is probable that the equipment of the machine gun companies, including the trucks and machine guns, will be stored at Anderson and Columbia. LIKE GOOD SERIALS WAIT FOR GREATEST The plates of our latest serial story, "The Shielding Shadow," by Randall Parish, are now in the office awaiting publication. We had arranged that the Casino Theater would show this serial in moving pictures beginning on December 21st, and we promised to hold the first instalment of the story back until that date in behalf of the theater. Later Mr. Quattlebaum sold out his show to Mr. Harry G. Cushman, the Pastime. The Pastime is now trying to get the films of this story from the Pathe Exchange, and as soon as a deal is closed for the films we can publish the date on Which we will begin this new serial, the greatest as we believe that we have yet published. In towns where this story is being published and the films are being shown, the people show great interest in it according to reports we have had from several sources. That the pictures are good and the plot one of the most interesting ever shown in moving pictures goes with out saying after you read the first instalment and see the pictures. We will ask our readers to be patient with us about this story, and we will begin it as soon as we possibly can. You will certainly find it good when it does start. mr. wXhFnm; RilWn PIMP SYRIIP univku l nib U I I1VI Among the best exhibits at the recent fair was a fine quality of can^ syrup raised by Mr. W. J.

NO. 32 VILLA ATTACKING CHIHUAHUA CITY Bandit Leader Resumed Oper.. ations at 9 O'clock This Morning VILLA FORCES LOST 400 MEN YESTERDAY General, 2 Colonels and 100 Men Lost by Carranza Defenders. El Paso, Nov. 24.?Villa renewed his attack on Chihuahua City at 9 o'clock this morning, a message said in Juarez. CASUALTIES I i Chihuahua City, Mexico, Nov. 23? ' Via El Paso Junction, Nov. 24?(Delayed by Military Censor).?One general, two colonels and one hundred men of the Carranza forces were killed during the fighting today between Carranza troops and Villa bandits. Four hundred men of the Villa command are known to have been left on the battel field. 1,000 JOIN PANDITS El Paso, Texas, Nov. 24.?Richard Wisbrun, an American member <>f a party arriving here early today from Chihuahua, said that 1,000 Carranza troops sent out Wednesday by GenTrevino, commander at Chihuahua, have gone over to the bandits without firing a shot. The train arrived at Juarez from Chihuahua about 3 a. m., bringing about 100 refugees in passenger coaches and three box. cars filled with Chinese. The train left Chihuahua at noon yesterday, a short time after the attack on Chihuahua by the Villa bandits began. At that time the guns on Santa Rasalia hills were firing at intervals and the rifle fire on both sides was said to have been brisk. Mr. and Mrs. Dickreson, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis and another American named Harrie boarded the train at Chihuahua, but loft it and remained behind when Carranza officers told them the train was certain to be attacked and they had no chance to reach the border. The train crew objected to leaving and were only induced to make the trip on receiving $40 gold collected by the passengers. Other passengers were of the opin ion that the town would surrender to Villa after a brief resistance as prac tically the entire population and soldiers are believed to be Villa sympathizers. Attack Expected Villa's atatck on Chihuahua City was not unexpected by the Carranza garrison. Mexican officials here said today, as Villa had publicly announced both at Parral and Santa Rosalia that his next action would be to take Chihuahua and then to drive the American expedition out of Mexico. It was because of military movements tending to give substance to these threats, according to officials, that General Trevino remained on the defensive in f^ViihnnVina of w.. w ,.w- ? ? v ? W V?w?i 1 VIM vyivji ^ Ok A. ' ter announcing a week ago his depar ture for the field. Villa's boldness in assaulting an almost equal force protected by wellmade entrenchments is ascribed in Juarez to a common belief that Trevino was seriously short of small ammunition. It is thought here that Trvcino allowed this imperssion to spread so as to insure its reaching Villa while in fact he had sufficient for all emergencies. A large number of Mexicans residing in Juarez came across to El Paso last night because of disquieting rumors there. One was that Villa had captured 1 Chihuahua, and that the Juarez gari rison in consequence intended to re' volt and join him. i o Sheriff J. A. Lewis was in the | Pongola neighborhood last waafc serving papers in various cases f which will come up in the court of Common Pleas later on* * <. * < .yi.ijJ ?n< t
