The Secretary of State has recived a letter from Henry Spang, of St Louis, Mo.- who is connected with ? laige wholesale dry goods house, looking to ?the establishment of a hosiery mill in South Carolina.

The labor wanted must be white and cheap, in order to compete succeefully with eastern manufacturers. A town of 1,500 to 2,000 inhabitants, with a good coal suppply and good shipping facilities to St. Louis, is desired. "The writer has been informed that a good many southern towns are offer? ing certain concessions to induce manufacturers to locate in their city, and of course any such concessions would be quite an inducement to me. Would also prefer to get as close to the cotton yarn spinning district as pos? sible, and would prefer to locate in a town where there 13 no hosiery mill at present "Any information with which you can supply the writer will be very much appreciated, and would mention that I can furnish the very highest class of references. "I desire to take this matter up shortly, and would thank you to give same your earliest attention."

Wn WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW. End of Coal Strike Will Greatly improve Conditions-Rail? road Inadequately Equip? ped. New York, Oct. 17.- R. G. Duh & Co. 's Weekly Review of Trade tomor? row will say : The setlement of the coal strike re? moves the only serious handicap to industrial progress. Five months of restricted fuel production had begun to check the wheels at many manu? facturing centres, while there was per? ceptible diminution in consumptive demand as the purchasing power of the wage earners steadily decreased. Sav? ings have been exhausted and much money has gone out of the country be? cause of this struggle, but the nation's remarkably strong position assures speedy restoration of prosperous con? ditions. Transportation is now the worst feature, and threatens to con? tinue disturbing. "While the grain crops are being moved the supply ot rolling stock and motive power will prove insufficient, although every effort is made at the shops, liberal premiums being offered for early deliv? ery. That the railways are well occu? pied is evidenced by earnings for the first week of October, 3.5 per cent. larger than last year and 10.9 per cent, above 1900. - Large imports have weakened dry hides. In cotton goods the feature was a purchase of about 250,000 pieces of print cloths. While quotations were not altered the tone became decidedly firmer. In other divisions of the mark? et buyers are only interested in meefc ing current demands, future require? ments being held back by evidences or weakness in the raw material Failures for the week numbered 206, against 229 last year.

Candidate to Oppose Lever-John Capers Makes a Speech. Orangebarg, Oct. 18.-The Seventh District Republican Convention was held today. The principal business before the meeing was the nomination of candidate for Congress. It was finally determined to nomi? nate a candidate and as there was ap? parently no other seeking the honor, A. D. Dantzler, the nominee two years ac? was chosen and given another op? portunity to win congressional honors, Dantzler felt that he deserved endorse? ment, and the delegates saw no harm particularly to come from his candidacy. The feature of the meeting was the presence and speech of United States District Attorney Jno. G. Capers. Mr. Capers most ephatically endorsed the party organization as now consti? tuted-composed of white and colored -and would oppose any attempt to eliminate the negro. He believed in a polkadot party, a mixed party, and said that in selecting a collector of the port of Charleston he, as one of a committee of seven, five colored and two white, voted for Dr. .Crum. But ' a white man had been selected, alJ the same, and by the votes of the colored men on the committee. He did not say who had been selected but it is be? lieved to be R. R. Tolbert. Mr. Ca? pers pledges himself to have Mr. A. D. Webster reappointed postmaster here, saying he would walk from .Charleston to Washington if necessary to accomplish that enc? He is no longer to be regarded as the leader of a white Republican party for this State, but has placed himself squarely within the ranks of the old party, with the colored vote largely in the majority. ENSLAND's"LITTLE WAR. Col. Cobbs* Force Has Hard Fight? ing in Spmaiiland. London, Oct. 19.-The foreign office has isssued an undated dispatch from CoL Cobbs, commanding one of the columns of British forces operating against the mad mullah in Somaliland. The dispatch was forwarded through the British vice consul at Berbera, Somaliland. The British forces en? gaged were composed entirely of native troops and levies. Col. Cobbs says : "My force reached Erego this morn? ing. When about one day's march north of Mudug, it was attacked in the thick bush. Two advances were made and the enemy was beaten bacn in the morning. Their losses were heavy and we captured 100 rifles. Our force then proceeded to collect animals for transportation purposes and to join the detachment at the stockade camp. In the afternoon a reconnaissance was made and after sharp fighting the enemy were again driven off. . . '.; "I deeply regret to report the fol? lowing casualties: Col. Phillips and Capt. Angus and fifty men killed and about one , hundred men wounded. The latter include Capt. -Howard and lieut. Everett, but both . are doing well. There were severe losses among the transport and riding camels. The j force will reach the stockade camp tomorrow and will advance to attack the enemy. ' ' The vice consul also telegraphs the substance of a later dis? patch from Col. Swain, who says that, as a result of the fighting at Erego, October, which was very severe, the Somali levies are considerably .shaken. Tlie mullah, .who is said to be in com? munication with Kail and Inger, in the direction of the Webb river, is bringing up reinforcements from all sides. Co]. Swain is much hampered ow? ing to the necessity of transporting the wounded and water. He is retir? ing on Bohotle. He asks that 600 more , reliable tr<5ops be dispatched from Berbera forthwith. ' The serious reverse in Somaliland places the small British force there of about 3,000 men of doubtful reliability, ifran exceedingly perilous situation. SMITH AND DENNIS ACQUITTED.

HMD .?.?.?* W Jews in Roumania. London, October 20.-The Daily Mail recently sent a correspondent to Roumania to investigate the Jewish country there, andonis morning the pa? per publishes a latter from its repre? sentative, in which he says that in Roumania the laws are fair, but that .there is crying injustice in their ap? plication, or rather their non-applica tion to the Jews. The Jews, he writes, are persecuted not on account of their religion, but because if they were naturalized and treated justly they would own half of the land, and, in short, "run" the country. The coun? try declares that a large number of Roumanian Deputies derive large por? tions of their incomes from heavy bribes on the condition that they will enable Jews to obtain naturalization papers. New York, Oct. 19.-The strike inaugrated some time ago *mong the wood carvers employed by a New York firm, having the contract for the carvings at the White House, has been declared off.

I A white man who rejoices in the name of General Donald, and who lives in Centerville township, was tried before Magistrate Dagnall Thursday afternoon on charge a of wife beating. The man's wife testified that her hus? band never struck her a lick in his life, but the testimony of bother wit? nesses caused the magistrate to think differently. The man was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of $15 or serve 20 days on the county chaingang. He was placed in jail Thursday night, and his wife begged so hard to be al? lowed to stay with him that Mr. Davis, the jailer, consented, and they were locked up together in a cell. The wo? man had her little child with her. Some of the man's relatives paid his fine yesterday and he and his wife and baby were released from custody. After they had been released yester? day the woman said her hasband had not beaten her in a long time, but that she reckoned she deserved an oc? casional whipping as she was so high tempered.-Anderson Mail.

Only a few more of those 26-inch frame Chainless Ramblers left anci they are sell? ing at $60 on installments. They are the only Chainless made that 1^-inch tires can be used on. I have the chain ones at $35 and they are really worth $50, come to see them. A large shipment expected ev? ery day. The American Cycle Manufacturing Company are now moving headquarters to Hartford, Conn., and they have sold me a lot of wheels from the Hew York branch at a discount, so, if you will see me next week I may be able to sell you a few of < those $40 Tribune and Rambler at $25. Do not forget that I am the only one in ' Sumter who keeps a full line of high grade shot guns and rifles and they are offered at very low p rices. Come and see them and compare prices. You had best buy your bicycles now, for . the American Cycle Manufacturing Com? pany have gone into the hands of receivers and they say they fully intend advancing prices in the near future. I do not say this because I want to sell you. It is little trouble to see me before buying elsewhere, and after showing I do not require you to buy. Always buy where you can do best. I have Mr. Boswell with me who is an expert paper hanger, and have any and all grades of wall paper, and would be glad to do your work. Satisfaction guaranteed. Call and see me before trading elsewhere. Yours to please, W. S. REYNOLDS, 30 W. Liberty Street. Sept 24-T-tf H. L. B. Wells, Atty. fi. T. Eiens. WELLS & EDENS, ]0H N Main Street, Sumter, S.
