Bank of Columbia Officials Inclined to Give Young BrOckington An other Chance—New Counties. Columbia, Sept. 2.—Cadet J. A. Reeves, of Marion county, a member of the junior class at Clemson Col lege, fell from a second-story window to the hard pavement below at the college last evening and sustained in ternal injuries. He was found in an unconscious condition. It is very probable that he fell from the win dow' while asleep. Grave fears are en tertained for his recovery. He was still unconscious this afternoon. The rumor that 200 cadets had been expelled for hazing seems to have no foundation. Only three ca dets were expelled for hazing. Sev eral others were dropped because they failed on examinations. A Pitiable Case. On'* of the most pitiable cases in the criminal history of this State in its way is that of Robert (*. Brock- ington, the ib sear old bank cnlleet- io- clerk, who was caught in Jack sonville at an earlv hour this morn ing after he Rad skipped out of Columbia with a pitiful '2,000 } u > had been sent to ship by express, and only the deepest sympathy is felt for the young man who so recklessly tram pled on a proud name and so foolish ly put. a stumbling block in bis path with a widowed mother to strive for. President George L. Baker, of the bank, has been deeply grieved bv the young man’s conduct, iff took ,a spec ial interest in young Brockington. He has offered not only to use his in fluence to let young Brockington get another chance but to pay up the bank’s loss and give the boy some money to start on and let him go to trv his fortune. The press disnatches announce that Brockington had all but $90 of the amount he carried aw r av and that he expressed contri tion for his foolish act after fully con fessing. It is remarkable h n w much interest has been taken in the case, not only here but throughout the State. The pity of it has struck a responsive chord everywhere. On every hand one hears the hope expressed that the young fellow' will be given an- otb"- chance. The policy of bonding companies is to relentlessly persue absconding clerks by way of example to others, .and the matter lies entirely in their hands. But the sentiment is so universally in favor of giviri" the young man another chance that it is liker that the case will be dropped. Cashier Melton, of the State Bank, and Detective Dunning, of the Colum bia police force, left today for Jack sonville to bring Brockington back here Sunday. New County Propositions It seems as if there are many heavy breakers ahead for the proposed new county of Heyward. The attorney general’s opinion that the original pe tition mav be amended so as to leave out some seventeen square miles of Aiken territory originally designed to go into the new county has cheer ed the drooping hearts of the new county advocates, but the other side mav carry the case into the courts on this. And now comes the an nouncement that the opponents of the county are going to fight on the p'round that Heyward is practically Hammond county, and as the Ham mond county scheme was killed three years ago it cannot be agitated until the expiration of the four year period fixed by the constitution. Mr. W. H. Yelldell, one of tire surveyors for the proposed new coun ty of Fairview, says the survey is complete and gives the new county thirty miles more than necessary»and leaves plenty in eacli of the old counties. He does not know the re gulfs of the commision’s investigation as to population and wealth, but he sa.VR the new county ought to be one of the wealthiest small counties in the State. It consists mostly of splendid farming lands, with no rough country to call for costly bridges, it is trav ersed by the Reedy and Knor. e rivers. In the meantime Highland county, whose promot* is hope to form from parts of Greenville and Spartanburg counties with Greer as the county seat, are getting anxious to have their commission appointed. Fairview got ahead of them and if Fairview suc ceeds. Highland will have to be abandoned, and vice versa. Spartan burg and Greenville can’t spare enough territory for both. Epidemic Among Deer. Georgetown, Sept. 17.—The deer bunting season has been on in this county since September 1, but deer driving has been practically at an end ♦since the discovery that a disease which reaches the extent of an epide mic is abroad among the deer. Many dead deer have been found in the woods with no sign of wound upon them and the greater number of those killed in the chase are thin and un- health-/ looking. The tongues of these are Invariably discolored and it Is supposed that the disease is black tongue, the scourge of the deer, tribe. No one in these parts has been able to surmise with any degree of certainty as to the cause of the die ease. BLACKSBURG BUDGET. Interesting News Notes of Our Neigh bors Across the Broad. Blacksburg, Sept. 24.—The wife and two children of Rev. G. Croft Wil liams. of Oxford, Md., and formerly of this place, are visiting at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Porter, of Buffalo. Miss Jean Whisonant spent several days in Charlotte, N. C., last week. Mrs. J. M. Guyton and daughter, Willie, are visiting in Atlanta. Ga. Dr. and Mrs. Boyce, of North Caro lina. are visiting Mr. Boyce’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Moore. Our energetic real estate agent and manager of Blacksburg Reality com "any, Mr. Charles Halier, is always on the jump and has just closed sever al more land deals in Blacksburg.

Mr. Marvin Hardin, of Columbia, is visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ira Hardin. Mr. .1. Cole, of Charlotte, N. C„ spent Friday and Saturday in town. The Blacksburg schools opened on September Idlh with a large attend ance and under most favorable condi tions. The corps of teachers this ses sions are all college graduates and ex- perience and present indications point io fine work. Snpt. Geo. B. Pfeiffer was re-elected and is now serving his third year and was given a most hearty and cordial reception by the citizens of Blacksburg upon Ids return from Maryland and Washington. D. C. His associate teachers are Prof. R. Km met Gribbin. B.

X. c. Blacksburg lias certainly done jus- tieo tr the cause of educatin'- during tie* oast few years, as is shown by tlie number of our boys and girls who h ive just left for e.dlege this session; and there are few towns of her size and population that have ever sent iw’av twenty-six voting men and wo men to college and one year, as is the case.

Columbia, Sept. 21.—An interesting question lias risen here in connection with the closing of the PopeHayes he r dispensary. At the recent meet ing of the county board, Mr. Touch- berry stated that he thought the Sweeny and Hayes beer dispensaries w re to close, and he moved that the Hayes beer dispensary be closed. The county board agreed to this, and then Mx# State board was asked to order the beer dispensary closed. The matter lias not formally come before the attorney general, and he will not act until a formal request for a decision is filed by the State board, but in the meantime It appears that the Week’s decision in the Kilo roe cause is in the way. Under the Week’s case it was decided that neith er the State nor the county board could abolish a dispensary when once opened, and that the only way in which a dispensary could be closed, v hen once opened, was by a v^te of the people, under the provisions of the Brice act. This is not what Mr. Touchberry or the county board want, and the Hayes dispensary is likely to remain open. G. Wash Hunter Convicted. Ijaurens, Sept. 21—"Guilty of man ‘laughter.” was the verdict of the ! try in Hie case of the State vs. G. Wash Hunter, the well to do young firmer of Goldville, ibis county, who 1 led 131. ' it '• ’opehuid. of f '!!uton. two months ago. Arguments in the ease were eon- eluded .and the court's charge was delivered h> the jury shortly after seven o’clock last night. The jury deliberated over the eas‘* a little over four hours, coining out of the jury room between 11 and 12 o’clock. It is said that on the first ballot the jurv was evenly divided on a verdict of murder. Motion for a new trial will be made this afternoon, perhaps, by Hunter's attorneys. “Pa,” said little Willie, looking up from bis book, “what is ‘a comatose state?’ ” “Well, ray son,” replied Willie’s pa, ■just at, present tlieer isn’t a single eomatosfijjtate in the Union; all hust ling and prosperous.” It arouses energy, develops and stimulates nervous life, arouses the courage of youth.

Wilkinsville, Sept. 21.—Mr. L. W. Webber, of Wilkinsville, attended the meeting of the Union county Interde nominationa] Sunday School Conven tion at Padgett’s Creek church near Sedalia, Union county, last week. We presume that the Sunday School Convention was not the only attrac tion Lowery had in that section, and we .are willing to leave it for time to prove. She is an excellent young la dy. Mrs. H. F. Horton and children re turned from a visit to the Maud sec tion last Monday. They had a pleas ant visit. In last Tuesday’s paper the types make us sav it was 1886 instead of 1860 that February bad no full moon. The latter is correct, ixiok up your old almanacs. January and March of that year each had two full moons. Messrs. Sam J. Strain and Leslie Blackwell went to Gaffney last Wed nesday on business. Mr. W. G. Fowler writing from Hot Surfngs, Ark., says be is doing very well and is well satisfied. He and Mr. T J. Patrick have been attend ing a protracted meeting there in which a woman was the preacher. Mr. Fowler says there are 125 doctors In the city of Hot Springs or there about. We are having showers nearly every day and cotton pickers aim bin dered a good deal in their work. Only a few pea vines have been cut yet and the crop promises to lie an abundant one if it can lie saved. We learn from a ’phone message that Mr. John Ramsey, of Hickory Grove, died suddenly last Tuesday night. He was a brave Confederate soldier, a member of the oth S. C. regiment. He was about sixty-eight years old. The death of Mr. G. Thomas Wood has spread universal grief over this section where his long, useful and honorable life was principally spent except the four years he was with "Marse” Robert E. Lee in the oarly sixties. Tom Wood was an ideal man in every respect. He was one of the most unpretentious of ('hero kee citizens. Of such men the poet says: They need not history's pages— The poet’s praise they scorn - Through all succeeding ages Their deeds will them adorn. Peace to his ashes and calm to his memory. We regret to learn that Master Clyde Sparks, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie A. Sparks, of Clifton, lias hud a severe attack of asthma in which bis life was dispaired of. Clyde is a bright little boy—th< ideal of the family and in his affliction he has our sympathies. Messrs. J. H. Fowler, W. C. Black- well and Master Fred Fowler, went to Gaffney Wednesday on business. The roads in every direction are as bad as they usually are in mid-winter. The mud in many places is half spoke deep and in some places up to the buggy and wagon hubs. Mr. John A. M. Estes lias the chills broken on himself. The chills are more general in this community than they have been in many years. Mr. W. .1. Vaughn and your corres- pondent started yesterday morning to visit a friend and comrade in York- sille, but on account of high water in Broad river we couldn’t cross How' ell’s ferry. We expect to go next ! week Quite a number of people have been water-bound at Howell’s ferry tiiis week. Mr. Malcolm Lowry has had bis nhone taken out and Hie nearest piioue to here is at Wilkinsville. Mr. P. S. Webber, mechanic ami merchant, of Wilkinsville. went to Gaffney Wednesday for a load of goods for ins store. The dog which Mr. Sam Lee gave to a party near DeKalb, in Kershaw county, was on Ins way thirteen days in coming back home, a distance of nearly one hundred miles. How lie j ever found the way bad:- home is a I ni' stery to us. He is a very old dog i but a good fox dog Since “Wal j Lee's” feat was first published in Tiie Ledger several dog tales have conn* to tiie front, some of which are equal to ills. A lady tells of one which happened when "eople used to haul their cotton to Columbia to mar ket. She says her father had a dog which used to follow the wagon to Columbia and a merchant of that place wanted the dog. Her father gave him the dog, but told him he had better chain or block him or he would not stay with him. The Columbian took the dog and fastened a chain and block to him and put him in his yard and the man drove back to his home a few miles above Chester, and the next morning be found the dog in his yard with the chain and block at tached to him. The ladv was very young when this took place but she remembers the incident wed and vouches for its truthfulness. The storm Monday night broke down much of the corn in John Estes’ roasting ear patch and we have been a beneficiary of this table luxury ever since. The stalks snapped off at the joint instead of being blown down. John takes great pleasure in divid in - this luxury with his less fortu nate neighbors. Mrs. J. L. S. says her sweet pota toes are fine. They are the vineless, the seed of which came from Mr. Goodman Pridmore’s, of the Grassy Pond section of our county. It is said that many a girl would rather he married than happy, and it looks that way. We hope our next legislature will enact a law to punish ministers, mag istrates and other officials wh" pro nounce the marriage ceremony be tween contracting parties when qne or both are minors without the consent of the parents of such minor or mi nors. This thing of children marry ing ought to be stopped. Parents who can't control their children’s love affairs can withhold their consent and that will do until they reach the prop er age to marry. The more we see of this so called “spelling reform” the more we are disgusted with it. A pupil of the "Teat lesicographer, Noah Webster, who has spent one-half or three- fourths of his lifetim.* studying his work will not have time during the remainder of his days to unlearn his method. The introduction of Mun son’s system of phonographic short- hand would have accomplished much more and been more easily learned. Phonetics is all this spelling reform amounts to and Mr. Munson has been teaching that for nearlv forty voars. with good resiiits. The professional misehi f maker is abroad in the land, giving bis master —the devil—his very best services by stirring up strife among friends, and even the happiness of fumilms are not beyond his baneful interference. Tiie best way to treat tattlers and confi dence people is to take no notice of them or what thev say. Shun them like a dog with rallies. we believe, is s en the snn J. L. S. Yesterday evening, tiie first time we hav set clear in four montl INDIANS TO WELCOME BRYAN. Chiefs of Five Nations to Accompany Him Through Teritory. (Washington Post.) From the time Mr. Bryan enters Indian Territory until the time he leaves lie will lie chaperoned by In dian chiefs of the Five Nations. As soon as he enters the Choctaw Nation from the east he will be taken in charge by Gov. MeCurtain, chief of the Choctaw's, who will introduce him at points in the Choctaw Nation When tiie Creek Nation is reached, Chief Pleasant Porter will do the honors. In the Cherokee Nation Chief Rogers will accompany Mr. Bryan. No speeches will be made in the Chickasaw or the Seminole Na tions, but Gov. Johnston, of the Chick asaw's. and Gov. Brown, of the Semi- noles.wiil be asked to accompany the Bryan party on the special train. All five chiefs have announced their allegiance to Hie Democratic faith. Pee-Dee Trestle Partly Burned. Florence, Sept. 17.—The long tres- P- which spans the Pee-Dee river swamp twelve miles east of this city, came verv nearly being destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning, and had it not been for the southbound fast mail train. No. 85, tiie Coast Line would today lie running their irains over the Bennettsville route in stead of the short cut. About. 3 o’clock a freight train pass ed over the trestle going north, and it is thought that sparks from the ash pan fell on the ties, catching them afire. When the fast mail approached the trestle the (lames were rapidl' - gain ing headway and were lickine up the timbers of tiie long trestle at a rapid rate. The train crew and the bridge force went to work at once and. with water from the swamp, soon had the fire un der control and put out. Several crossties and two of the cords or stringers were burned, and as quickly as possible these were re placed and Hie fast train permitted to pass over the place where the fire was. Pee-Dee trestle is one of the longest on the Coast Line system, verv nearly three miles in length, and with the wind blowing a gale it would have taken a verv short while for the (lames to have laid tiie structure low in ashes. This is one of the most important pieces of trackage on the system, and hud the (lames not have been subdu ed as quickly as they were the Coast Line would have been a ver' heavy loser, not only from the fire loss, but from the great expense of running trains via Bennettsville to South Rocky Mount.

Shipments of Cotton From That Coun try to United States. Washington. Sept. 18.—Although the United States is the greatest cot ton producing country in the world, reports received at the Department ol Commerce and Labor recently show that so fertile is the land of Egypt and so large the crops grown there, that shipments of cotton to the United States from that country have reach ed as high as $10,000,000 a year, and the average is believed to be about $7,758,657. This is the finest cottov in the world, long staple, and brings highest market prices. Not all of the crop of Egypt is ship ped to the United States. Great Bri tain. which takes the bulk of Egypt's crop, returns as the output of the Man chester looms practically all the cot ton goods that are received, and she sends cotton mill machinery into the heart of Egypt in large quantities. A question has arisen whether since the dependence of the people of Egypt is so largely based on a single crop, the cotton may not, through various causes, shrink materially in some years and leave the country and investors in a had plight. The vicis situdes to which the cotton crop is subjected, over-cropping, deterioration in piality, etc., have been seriously considered recently by foreign inves toi - and others interested in the cot ton trade. It is sMd that there is al- wav s a market for Egyptian cotton be cause* of its exceptional quality. No cotton has ever been produced in the United States or elsewhere that will come up to it, hence investors in Egypt believe that they will always have a good 'king and he able to raise a product that cannot find competition anywhere eLe. To show the size of the Egyptian coRon crop, i- is pointed out that from isv to 1894 the average annual ex- ports of raw ; otton amounted to $44,- 547.680; from 1894 to 1899. $45,628,- 39"; f r o m 1899 to 1904, $70,430,419. The value of cotton seed exported luring the same periods was also large From 1889 to 1894 it amount^ rn $8,312,04"; from 1894 to 189,^ 752.655, and since then R ' n a 3 r i s 4 n in one year as high as $10,230,000. The ,nos! noticeable feature in con nection with the growing of cotton in Egypt is that .nly the most scientific methods are being employed. I^argc. areas are beln- brought under practi cal Irrigation, ontrolled and direct ed by the government, and the quan tity to he produced in the next few years, it L believed, will bQ yejr^ large 1 he annua inorts of cotton goods in'o Egypt ta-.„ yuar are not less than $15^000.000. which was the total for 19"3. t'otton : am importations reach $1,250,000 annually. Great Britiau supplies approximately 80 per cent of the yarns, but nas to meet comnetition from Italy, whose sales average $200. 000 to $220,000 a year. Germany and Belgium also enjoy a portion of the trade.
