At the quarterly meeting of the Co lumbia chamber of commerce Tues day night the river navigation com mittee reported that unless a com pany was organized with a capital of from $12,o00 to $15,000 for The pur pose of Isiilding a boat to put in the river, the matter of river navigation for Columbia had better l>e abandoned for the present.

If the present ratio of Increase keeps up in fertilizer taz returns, Cle.mson College will get not far from $120,000 this year. Up to September 10th the State treasurer lias received from tiiis source $102.2110.70, against $91,299.05 for the same date last year. The income for the entire fiscal year of 1903 was $98,909.80, which shows that the increase in the hist throe months of the year was about $7,000, most of the fertilizer having b<^e i purchased. A terrible accident occurred at the Olympia mill,, Columbia, at 1 o’clock Tuesday, due to a rupture of a tube in one of the upright boilers. One of the firemen was fatally burned and scalded and another may not recover. The steam, forced with great pressure straight downward, drove live coals out upon Wesley Adams and "Shelton Johnson. The two negroes were stampeded with fright and ran sev eral yards to the Episcopal mission house, a sort of sanitarium, where they were stopped and their wounds dressed. Adams will die, and the other negro is in a dangerous state. The worst, storm since Oct. 20th, 1903, passed over Georgetown Tues day and Wednesday mornings. From a normal reading of 30.01 the barom eter dropped Tuesday night to 28.95. The wind began to rise at about 9 o’clock, coming from the northeast in gusts that increased in violence each hour accompanied by heavy showers of rain and attained a maximum ve locity of about 81) miles an hour near midnight. Towards morning the wind changed completely around, blowing strongly from the southwest. The storm came without warning from tho weather bureau and the rice planters have suffered severely. A large part of the crop being cut down and lying in the fields. The damage to property in town will foot up fully $10,000. Many fine shade trees have been stripped and uprooted. The county has not been heard from, the telephone lines being down. Tugs sent to the islands report all safe. An unusual incident transpired in the Spartanburg sessions court Wed nesday which will afford a break from the dull monotony of sitting un der the stern dignity of his honor and hearing the endless talks of the law yers, the hesitating, stammering statements of witnesses and the son orous voice of the court crier. Ar thur Salter, colored, was ararlgned for stealing live stock. That is. Sal ter was brought into the court room. Just after he had been placed in the criminal docket lie fell down and gave vent to a number of gutteral, groaning sounds, at tho same time twisting and writhing his king, lank . ^hody. Judge Gary hail a physician Mr summoned, who, after a careful exam ination, pronounced the negro to he perfectly healthy. Salter refused to go by his diagnosis, however, and continued In a prostrate condition in the docket, at times groaning and howling. As the negro kept up his game, the Judge selected the jury and the case was tried. In the meanwhile Salter was removed from the docket to a bench, where he lay flat on his back, feigning sickness. He was found guilty. When the court asked for him to stand up he could not lie moved by the officers and Judge Gary pronounced sentence on tho man as —He lay on the bench. “Your sentence 18 months at hard labor on the roads of Spartanburg county—this Ir, six months additional, Salter, for your exhibition this morning," re marked his honor. Court officers l ad to catch the negro by the arm and for cibly carry him from tho court room. A Couple of Good Shows Open the Theatrical Season. It has been a long time since a Gaffney audience lias had the pleas ure of witnessing a theatrical per formance the equal of “The Village Parson,” as presented at the Star Theatre last Wednesday evening. An interesting story told in an inter esting manner by ladies and gentle man ^ ho know the art of acting. It’s a pity that more epople did not take advantage of the opportunity to see the play. Miss Frankie Francis as Fern God- lay, tin; parson’s wife, possesses dra matic talent. With a pleasing counte nance and good voice she portrayed the difficult role in splendid style. Mr. William Norton, as Rev. Tom Godlay, was forceful and attractive. Mr. Sam Miller, as Felix Gordon, a nolished rogue, acted and looked the part to perfection. The comedy was well taken care of by Mr. Harry Smith and Miss Marie Harcourt, while Baby Olevia wus as sweet as she could he. Every other member of the cast sus tained themselves admirably. Tho play has an interesting plot 1 ihat engages the attention of the au dience from the start and retains it until the end. The audience was not as responsive at the beginning as it might have been but when It did warm up every climax elicited vocif erous applause. A marked feature was the splendid order of the gallery. They did them selves credit by their good behavior. Tiie new management desires to state hat an effort will he made to main tain good order in the future. People are expected to enjoy themselves and applaud the players, but such things as whistling, catcalls, and an noying the audience and the players by “smart” talk trom tho gallery, will not he permitted in tho theatre and anyone who indulges in this kind of business may expect to be taken be fore hte mayor. There is a law against it and the law will he en forced. The public may not he interested in it, bnt we cannot help saying that Mr. George Gett, the business mana- gor, is one of the cleverest gentlemen wo have yet met with in the show business. While the business was not what we expected and had reason to hope for, still it showed a decided im provement over attractions of last season. We hope that future busi ness will improve to such an extent that, it will pay the management to bring to Gaffney more attraciions of the character of “The Village Par son.*' A NEWSY LETTER FROM ETTA JANE, MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. The attraction at the Star Theatre Tuesday night proved to be anything else than predicted. On account of tli(> criticism in Tuesday’s Charlotte Observer the theatre-going public expected to see something fierce. The show was pleasing''and entertain ing, if one he allowed to judge from the applause, from beginning to end. The work of Mr. John O’Meara as Howlard Rent, was good, and his bass solo, tho “Brigand Bold,” was all right. “Waltz through life with me.” •i song and dance by Mr. Walter Haw ley and Miss Esther Marks was a clever piece of work. Altogether "A Boy Wanted” is a very pleasing show. Tho next • attraction at the Star Theatre will be the Dolmar Vaudeville Company, in polite vaudeville, next Monday night. They advertise ten big nets, each a pleasant surprise. The performers include Miss Rosalind Verene, the beautiful vaudeville queen; Boat and Crawford, premier vaudeville sketch artists and luick and wing dancers; Eugene Loudetto, famous tramp com edian and renowned clog dancer; and Creighton and DeCarja and other clever male and female sketch artists. Grover Gossip. Grover, N. C., Sep. 12.—E. R. John son. of Cherokee county S. C., an old f on federate veteran and one of our best farmers, sold the first bale of cotton to I). J. Keefer & Co. on Sep tember the 9th, for 10*/£ cents per pound. On tho same day last year lie sold the first bale on our market to the same parties, tho purchase price being nv t cents per pound. O. K. Predicts Short Cotton Crop. G. S. Blaek, of Lawn, a good farmer and a close observer, was in to see The Lodger Tuesday. He says that eorn is good, hut that from the best that lie can see the cotton cannot pos sibly yield more than last year’s crop. Mr. Black’s opinion is worth some thing and you may rely on It that the cotton crop of his section will be short. Unclaimed Pensions.

Etta Jane, Sept. 14.—Your corres pondent spent a good portion of his time on the York «ide of the river yesterday. They have fine crops over there. The Beaverdam bottoms have the best corn we ever saw on them, though we have known them all our life. Cotton, too, is fine, hut seems to he rather late, especially on red land. Cotton is opening fas’ and people are picking it out as fast as possi ble. Mr. Leslie Wright is getting on as well as could be expected after the severe spell he has had. We trust the danger point is passed now and that lw.! will soon be out again. He is a worthy young man. Some weather prophets predict an early fall and cold winter tills win ter. Wo will see what we do see. There is talk of building a bridge across Abingdon creek at tho Wofford ford. This will supply a much need ed convenience to the people of i hat section, as the rural mail line will cross there, perhaps. Today this and the Sarratt post- offices close to accept the rural free delivery service,* which goes into ef fect tomorrow. To Mr. Malcolm 1.mv- ry has been awarded the position of carrier and he will at once enter up on his duty as such. All or most of tho patrons have put up their mail boxes along this line, which will be known as Route No. 1 from Wilkins- ville. The election passed off very quietly yesterday so far as we know. All the candidates got a fair share of the votes of this section, we suppose. And while some people may not have got their choice of men there will he no perceptible difference in the working of State and county affairs we don’t suppose. It s tho duty of every good man to lend a helping hand to the adminis tration of laws and try to foster the peace ami prosperity of his country notwithstanding some people think differently. They are wrong surely. Some people think because they eaift have their way in everything the world is growing worse. We are not of that class of pessimists, who are wrong often, but who are always teachable and expect, to he so. We want to know our duty first, then want to try to do it. Rev. W. 1). Hammett will, wo un derstand, preach at Abingdon creek church next. Sabbath and baptize those who joined at the recent re vival meeting there. Land in this section is going up every day. A few years ago that whieli could have been bought for a mere song has gone higher. A few weeks ago a party authorized us to notify the owner of a plantation which is for sale that he would give a certain amount cash for his place, thinking tho word cash would he a great, inducement to catch the trade! But our man only laughed back and told us to tell the fellow that he had leceived a much better offer for it than that and in cash, too. While buyers perhaps see this ris ing in price, sellers are also awake to the same end. Ten cent cotton usually gives rise in price to all other commodities in the market, and we need not make land an exception. The farmers will not he contented to raise the staple for less If they can get it. And every pound raised has cost that much if fair wages are al lowed tlie laborer for his work. If nothing happens this country will gather more corn this year than it lias had in twenty-two years. The crop of fodder is simply enormous, and some people are offering one-half for the other to get it pulled and saved. Though much of this fodder lias burned up or rotted on the stalk the crop is very heavy yet. The fine weather for picking cotton has put everybody In the field for tin* last few days. There will ho a meeting of thecom- niitteo of entertainment at Salem church next Saturday evening, when a division of the delegates attending the Presbytery will lie made and homes assigned each. Those wanting certain delegates or churches will please send in their request by that time, and those willing to entertain delegates will let the same he known to the committee by that time. J. L. S.

Tuesday, Ross Flake, the negro who killed Carl Culberton near the Miami mine last week, was given a prelimi nary hearing before Esq. E. T. Bost, at Concord. Flake was cut badly in tho fight and was just now able to get out. It was shown a clear case of self defense and he was discharged on a $100 bond to court. It will not he long before the prin- cipal cities near Charlotte will have trolley lines connecting them with that city, says the Chronicle. The water power of the Yadkin and that of the Catawba practically insures this. Such lines between Charlotte and Concord, Gastonia, Rock Hill and Monroe would pay now. With the water power available, they could ho very cheaply operated. Going through a well settled agricultural region, they would get much passenger and freight business from the farmers. Sam Faison, a young negro who threw a rock in a moving train on the Atlantic Coast Line between Wilming ton and Newborn sometime ago, was tried and convicted at the recent term j of Pender Superior Court, and sen-; tenced to two years in the chaingang! service, which is the heaviest sen-1 tence imposed by law.

Mr. Jefferson Lewis, of Spencer, was struck by north-bound passenger train No. 40 at that place Saturday night about midnight, sustaining in juries from which he died Sunday night. Mr. Lewis, it is learned, had started to the depot to meet a grown son who was expected to arrive there on the same train and while on his way walked too near the railroad track permitting the incoming train to strike him a terrific blow in the hack of the head. A shoulder, eight ribs and a hip were also broken. The son, Mr. William Lewis, witnessed the tragedy, but failed to recognize his father until after the train had been stopped and an investigation made. Mrs. A. F. Hinson, who lives at the Continental Manufacturing Co.’s mill, in Charlotte, was attacked by a cow Wednesday morning and barely es caped with her life. Mrs. Hinson had taken the cow from the barn lot to a nearby pasture and was in the act of fastening the chain to a stake, when the animal made a dash for her. She was thrown violently to the ground, and the animal, seemingly furious, pounced upon the prostrate form of tho woman. Mrs. Hinson screamed for help and some one passing that way drove the animal away. A phy sician was sent for and the unfortu nate woman was examined. It was ascertained that no hones were brok en, but her chest and stomach were badly bruised. Tho cow used her foot in causing the injuries. Tho ani mal did not attempt to hook Mrs. Hin son.

C., writes some of the leading citi- zens of the town that he will extend his road to Southport if the people there show tho proper Interest in the movement. He will visit the place at an early date and take the matter up with tho chamber of commerce there and if the proper interest is shown something may materialize. Southport is one of the best situated ports on the Atlantic coast and it will prove a splendid deep water terminal for a railroad. Personals and Local Happenings from Beyond the Pacolet.
