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.

"HOI
DEATH OF MONARCH
UNLIKE LONG REIGN
Francis Joseph Sinks Into
, Peaceful Sleep at the
Close of It.
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.
WACCAMAW BAPTISTS

The Forty-Seventh Annual Meeting
of the Waccamaw Association

last week.
On Thursday morning at 11
o'clock Rev. D. L. Hewitt preached
the Introductory Sermon, after which
the organization was completed by
reelecting J. C. Spivey as Moderator,
W. J. Jordan as clerk, and A. H.

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. Mr. Sarvis held a position
with the last mentioned company for
some time prior to his buying an interest
in the Grier Mercantile Co. It
is not stated that he has disposed of
his stock in the Grier Mercantile Co.,
but merely that he has resigned the
active management of the company
in its store on Main Street.

.THANKSGIVING DAY
Guardsmen Will Be Mustered
Out at Styx Ten Days
Later.
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.

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.
