DEATH Of MRS. VIRGINIA 0. YODNG. BELOVED MEMBER LOST FROM STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION. MR. ROBERTSON HAS RESIGNED. She Was Editor uf The Fairfax En terprise and a Great Champion of Woman's Rights. (Special to The Columbia State.) Kuirfax, Nov. 2—Mrs. Virginia Young, editor of The Fairfax Knter- prime and president of the South Carolina Woman's Rights associa tim. died here this afternoon at '» o'clowk alter a brief illness of pneu- I’-onle Mrs. Virginia Durant Youna. The nows of the death of Mrs. Vir ginia !> Young was received with sadness in the office of The State Iasi night, and with equal sadness will it be given to the people of South Carolina. Mrs. Young was a woman of largp sould and in her love for womankind she devoted her whole life to certain principals In which she firmly believed. She tirst entered the public service of her sex in the capacity of an of tic r of the Woman’s Christian Tem perance union Then she became a eonttributor to the columns of the Hampton Guardian, conducted by Cop McSweeny, a tier wards governor. She was given a regular temperance de partment in that paper. Subsequently she organized ihe Fairfax Enterprise, a newspaner de voted to promoting woman's rights, correcting the wrongs done woman, and the advancement of good fellow ship among ail mankind. Mrs Young was a tireless' worker and a writer of fluency, ease and grace. Two or more extended stories in the form of romance bear her name, and have en tertained and pleased thousands. Her newspaper style was entirely profes sional and gave dignity to her of forts to uplift the cause of woman. While hers may have been a mas culine mind, hers was truly a wo man’s heart. She was full of senti ment—though far from being senti mental—and her life was one of love for all mankind. The home of Dr. and Mrs. Young at Fairfax was never closed to the stranger, the back of her hand was never offered to the needy. All found a true Southern welcome under her roof. She was an advocate of law' and order and for the education of woman she strove with a vigor which her frail body did not seem to possess. Her printing office was operated and managed by her women, her whole life was for other women, and the work that she has done will ever be an Inspiration to those of her sex who think as she thought, but have not the great courage, the soul una fraid which tenated the frail bodv of Mrs. Virginia D. Young. She was a great pet at the gather ings of the State Press Association. At every meeting she was called Tip- on to read an address, and at. several banquets she was asked to respond to toasts, and she did so in a gracious manner. A| the meeting at the Isle of Palms during the summer just closed, she read her reminiscences of the State press. This paper will be printed in the regular proceedings of the asso elation and will he cherished by its members A great heart, a virile mind, and a sweet and gentle spirit has passed from tho ranks of South Carolina journalism. August W. Smith to Succeed Him as President. Co’umbia, Nov. 3.—Mr. Edwin VV. Robertson, of this city, was asked this morning about the report from Spartanburg that he was to retire from the presidency of the Union Buffalo Mills company. Mr. Robertson said that he was very sorry that there had been any publicity about the matter, as he thought Hie resignation ought first to be submitted to the board of di rectors, which is to meet in New York on tho 13th instant. He thought it a matter of courtesy to the board for it to first receive the resignation. As a matter of fact, Mr. Robertson tendered his resignation as president of the Union-Buffalo Mills company three months ago and has insisted on its acceptance, hut the arrange ments for the change have lust been made, by which Mr. August W. Smith is to l)e his successor as president of these companies. When the Duncan Mills, in Union, failed more than a year ago, Mr. Ed win W. Robertson, of Columbia, was solicited to go into the work of re organizing tho properties. He con aented to become treasurer and ex pected that his w'ork would be con- lined to that department. At the meeting of the board of directors in October, 1905, Mr. Robertson was elected president of the mills and it lias all along ’ een his purpose to re tire from the presidency just as soon s the reorganization was perfected and the properties were gotten in good running shape and were on the profit side of the ledger. Mr. Robertson’s training and incli nations are for the banking business jnd, being entirely independent, lie did not care to assume too much wor rv and work, and he hr indicated that just as soon as possible he would like to retire from the presidency and turn the operations of the mill over to u successful and experienced mill man Mr. Augustine W. Smith, who has been selected, is regarded as one of the most competent and suc cessful mil) men in Carolina. Mr. Robertson is being urged to re tain the treasurership of the Union- Buffalo Mills company and may con sent to do so. He continues as pres ident and received of the Union and Glenn Springs Manufacturing and Bower company. Mr. Robertson lias t^ken a keen pride in his work in connection with the Union Buffalo Mills and much of the success of the reorganization of these properties is due to his intelli gent efforts and the high regard for bis business integrity and success. Now that the reorganized property is in first class shape Mr. Robertson feels that he lias a perfect right, with due regards to the stockholders' in terests, to voluntarily retire from the active management of the mills. A NEWSY LETTER FROM WIIKINSVIILE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. WILLIAM BENNETT HANGED. KILLED BY TROLLEY CAR. • Express Ca r on Aiken-Augusta Line Struck Man. Aiken, Nov. 2.—W. J. Sawell, a white man, who lived at Langley, wan struck by an express car on the Augusta-Aiken electric road last night, resulting in his death this morning. It appears that about 8.30 last night as the express car was go ing toward Augusta the motorman saw a man on the track directly in front of the car, as the car was rounding a curve. The man was so close that the car could not be stop ped in time to save him. However, the car had nearly stopped. When he was picked up It was found that his thigh had been broken and he had also been crushed about the chest, and also probably had internal inju rles It was stated today by a gentleman from Langley that he had left home about an hour or two previous, telling his wife that he had some business at the |H>wer house, which is about seven miles from lAngley. As to how he came to get upon the track is unknown, but he was discovered by Motorman Whitlock about two hundred yards from the power house. It was stated by the railroad people that a bottle of whiskey was found on his person, partly consumed, and an empty bottle on the ground near by. although bis neighbors give him an excellent name, and state he was nev er known to drink whiskey. He was carried at once to the hospital in An gusta where everv attention possi ble was paid him, hut he succumbed to hts wounds early this morning Found Dead in Buggy. Anderson, Nov. 3.—Mr. W. B Hall, a prominent farmer, who lives near this city, was found dead in his bug gy this morning while on his way to the city. It in thought that he had received a stroke of apoplexy.

Beaufort, Nov. 2.—William Ben nett.'the negro who was convicted at the last term of the Court of General Sessions of the murder of Mr. Geo. M. Harvey, at the Bythewood place, on I-ady’s Island, on the 26th of Au gust last, and sentenced by Judge Purdy to be hanged on this day. paid the penalty for his crime on the scaf fold. The history of the crime, which was so heinous an.I revolting and of so recent date, has been so thoroughly published at the time and durjne’ the trial that It is unnecessary to re count its harrowing details. The proof of the guilt of the unfortunate creature was of such'convincing cir cumstantial evidence, and the chain so completely linked as to Justify the juries in finding the prisoner guilty without recommendation. A slight doubt upon the mind of the trial judge as to the accuracy of some statement of one of the witnesses caused His Honor, after the tirst trial, to grant a new trial, when the find ing of the first jury was confirmed and His Honor completely convinced as to the justness of the verdicts rendered at both trials. At 11.20 o’clock, without undue ceremony, the prisoner was taken from his cell to the scaffold in the jail yard, and attended by some col ored spiritual advisers and comfort er:. The deputy mounted the stage with the prisoner and adjusted the black cap. The sheriff, stationed be low. cut away the rope that held the trap, and at a given signal the body of the condemned man dropped with a thud and his neck was doubtless broken and life extinct in twenty minutes.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. Wilkinsville, Nov. 1.—The change able condition of tho weather is very much against farm work hut the farmers are doing all they can to finish up gatlu ring their crops before the weather gets too cold There has been a great rush to have the cotton ginned up, as much ut it gathered wet or green is liable to spoil or turn blue. This accounts for the large ginner’s report which has so recently effected the iqarket In the price of the staple. • The fields behind the pickers are as black as they are usually are in December or January. There will not be more than three-fourths as much cotton made in Gowdeysville township as was made last year and many good calculators estimate the crop at only one half of that of last year. Mrs. J. L. S. who has been suffer ing with rheumatism is much better and able to be out again. She has had a right severe attack of it lately. Mr. Wm. G. Fowler whd has been sick for a long time, seems to be do ing no good. Dr. Hood, of Hickory Grove, was to see him this week. The worse misfortune that ever befel a man is to marry a lazy wife and tlie same applies equally to a woman who gets a no account hus band. It’s bad in either case for two homes to be spoiled by such unhap py alliances. The high temper of a brainless, envious woman eclipses all her other good qualities—if she lias any. Miss Bonnie and Frank McUluuuy visited friends in this section this week. Frank is the only man we know of who drives a pair of home- raised horses. One thing we notice witli regret and that is, that more of our voung men are leaving useful trades. They seem (in a large measure) to think that clerks in stores are all that is needed, and that’s about all to which many of them aspire. We need ma chinists, carpenters. blacksmiths, shoe and harness makers and mend ers—all of which are in great de mand and can command good wages. But these several trades are too much like work to make them popu lar with the masses. Usually if a boy can smoke cigaretts, drink whis key, “cuss” pathetically and spluge round and make a nuisance of him self lie thinks he has reached the ti|)-toi) of the ladder of accomplish ment. and the girl who boast tiuj* she has never learned to bake a cake of bread, iron a shirt, hoe the garden or handle the wash tub thinks she can make some man a good domestic wife. If she can sing beautifully, play skillfully, flirt round success fully and make a big show its the height of her ambition. But for these several delusions on the uart of the children the parents are to blame, largely if not exclusively. A manly boy and a womanly girl— when they are not the outgrowth of blgatry—command the love and re spect of all. right thinking, sensible oeoole. The boy who can go to town and transact the business of his father— kee straight and lie respectable to those he meets or comes in business contact with, is the material out of which a useful man is made. The girl who can rise in the morning, adjust her toilets, "fly round” in the cook room and get breakfast, milk the cows, sweep the house, make the beds and give the house a tidy appearance and help her mother by taking the drugerv work off her hands as much as possible, be respectful and kind to all who merit it, and talk sensibly about the current news of the day or tell some thing she knows besides the routine dap-trap of country gossip, is the girl for a business man to hunt for a wife if lie desires a happy, prosper ous home. Of such the Psalmist says: “Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine By thy house side be found; Thy children like to alive plant# About they table round ” Dr. W. A. Fort, of Gaffney, was down ou his Gilkey crook place last week looking aft^r his faming in terests. Esquire a.id Mrs. J. It’. Boole and family, of Sunnyside, have been suf fering with chills this season. There is scarcely a home in this comnjunity ■where these pests have not been more or less an annoyance. This has been a favorable year for the spreading of this melody—so much rain during the summer months and the amount of staguent water along the creeks. Under ordinary circum stances this is as healthy a country as can he found anywhere south of the Blue Ridge. Mr John F, Estes has been suffer- , ing with rheumatism for several days. He is unable to do any work on that account. The world’s fifth Sabbath school ention will meet in Rome. Italy. May 20-23, 1907.

In New Jersez the enforcement of the law against the sale of liquor on the Sabbath day has increased the deposits in the savings banks one- third on Monday. Wouldn’t the same thing work in Cherokee county if rigidly enforced? We think it would. The contribution raised at Salem last Sabbath for foreigti missions was $5.40. The mil.ion dollar mark has been reached in the contributions for the last fiscal year and the American board of commissioners for foreign missions, and the board enters upon its new “mission year” witiv'ut a debt over it. Lawrence Osment has been gather ing corn this week for Sam J. Strain who is carrying the mail on R. F. D. 1 from Wilkinsville.

When the fellow she likes pretty well comes round you ought to see how a girl "gets busy” to show him how smart she is. The announcement of Mrs. (Rev.) J. W. Shell’s death has spread gloom over the communities where she was so well and favorably known. We have known her for a long time as a most aimable Christian lady and can say; “None knew her but to love her. Soiii named h<‘r but to praise.” Her family, relatives and friends have our heartfelt sympathy in this t teir great bereavement. God her Redeemer lives Beyond the starry skies; — In soverign love He’ll guar,I her dust Till He shall hid it rise. This lively hope we owe To Him who rules above. While we adore His grace below— And sing "His wonderefus ilov»e,” She with that great angelic throng Redemptions song will sing— “Oh. grave where is thy victory? Oh. death, where is thy sting?” J. L.

YOUNG DR. FOSTER IS DEAD. Generally Believed that He Shot Him self With Suicidal Intent. Union, Oct. 31.—Dr. Ethan W. Fos ter. who shot himself on Monday, filed from the wound about 5 o’clock this afternoon. It is the general opinion here that the shooting was with suicidal intent. The deep sym pathy of the entire communitv is with his bereaved parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. 1'. Foster. The Union Progress thus relates the story of Dr. Foster's .shooting himself: Dr. Foster returned Monday morn ing from Columbia, where he had been during fair week. He anneared in good spirits early in the dav. but later talked to some of his friends about some personal matters, which seemed to worry him. He was at one of the stores on East Main street af ter 1 o’clock’, and then appeared to be not quite himself. Leaving this store he went to Goodman’s, where he se cured a 38 oalibre bull dog pistol, which he had left there for repairs five months ap'o. When crossing the Southern tracks on Main street, he stopped t^ speak to a friend, and intimated that he had been worried by some one, and that he might, do something rash to that person or to himself. The friend, see ing his condition, talked with him, fearing he might get in front of an engine, which was shifting at the time. After a few moments Dr. Foster went on to the Union Hardware Com pany. where he bought some 38-cali bre cartridges from one of the clerks. Then loading his pistol, while* stand ing near a show case, he leaned 'lightly on it, and seeing a friend passing. Galled to him. The friend, having gone by the door a step, re turned just in time to see Dr. Foster Hieing lee wea|)on to his heart but i -adzing liiat nothing could then stop him, the friend took another step for ward. when the shot was tired and Ihe bodv fell. To friends who rushed to his as sistance it is said that lie expressed ins desire to be let. alone and die. but ph. sicians were promptly summoned and every attention possible fiven him. He was taken to the home of his father, Mr. B. F. Foster, on South street, where he lias since been suff ering severel”. The physicians, Drs S. S and W. L. Linder, thought yesterday that be might r "he bullet was not probed 1 . it ion w as riven to relieving ..... ~ .ic.ing an 1 stopping the flow of blood. Ijast night Dr. Pryor, of Chest r. arrived. Today it is known that the lung is puuctured and grave feats are entertained for his recoverv. From the time of the shooting Dr. Foi.t r rpivaied conscious, though dazed. A progress reporter, who saw him after he was shot said: “I’m sorry to hear about your accident, old man.” “Yes, yes It was an acci dent. Say it was an accident.*’ Dr. Foster brokenly repeated. Dr. Foster is a young man about tweniy-four years old. Two years ago he graduated in dentistry from the University of Maryland He is a fine specimen of physical manhood Jovial and generous, he numbers friends by the score, not onlv in Un ion county, but throughout the entire State and South. .

Dangers From Dyspepsia Imperfect Digestion Most Prolific Cause of Serious Disease. Few people seem to realize the real dangers in disturbed, deficient or de fective digestion. While health reports do not give indigestion as a cause of death, yet it is in reality often fatal, as it so weakens the stomach that one be comes readily susceptible to an at tack of typhoid fever, kidney disease, nervous prostration or other serious ar fatal disease. At the first symptoms of indiges tion. Ml-o-na stomach tablets should he used. If there is a feeling of heaviness in the stomach, distress, after eating, nervousness, dizziness, headaches, sleeplessness, pains in the side and limbs, specks before the eyes, or a peevish, irritable con dition, with debility and weakness, begin the use of Ml-o-na at once It will build up the stomach and di gestive organs so that you can eat anythng at any titne without fear of distress or indigestion. A 50-cent box of Mi-o-na tablets will, in most cases, give promat re lief and cure, although In chronic and long-standing weakness of the stomach, two boxes or more are sometimes needed, but The Gaffney Drug Company guarantee Mi-ona will cure, in all cases, no matter how chronic or serious, or monev will be refunded. You run no risk what ever in buying Mi-ona We care not how you suffered. « what failed to cure you.
