A URSE HOSIERY MILL
St. Louis Han Wishes to Build One
in South Carolina.
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. For the information
of the different towns of th? State,
who would like to have such a mill,
particulars Columbia, the letter is
herewith published. It reads as fol?
lows:
"Dear Sir: The writer is seeking a
.location for a hosiery mill, which'will
employ about one hundred hands at
the start, and possibly employ 200 to
300 in the course of a few years. 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.

SEVENTH DISTRICT REPUBLICANS.
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.
Timmonsviiie Merchants Who Were
Charged With Arson.
Florence, Oct. 18.-After a long and
j tedious trial the Smith and Dennis
! arson case has been ended, and result?
ed in the acquittal of the defendants.
The arguments of the attorneys were
long and exhaustive, and commanded
the close attention of the jury. Soli?
citor Wilson was assisted in the pro?
secution by Z. T. Kershaw. J. W.
Ragsdale and Joseph F. Rhame con?
ducted the defence, Mr. Ragsdale be?
ing the leading counsel.
The case was given to the jury yes?
terday afternoon at 6 o'clock, and after
being in the jury room about 15 min?
utes they returned a verdict of not guil?
ty, and the accused were forthwith
discharged.
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. The strikers' demand
that the carvings shall be dressed by
hand and not by machine was granted.
It is said that President Roosevelt ex?
erted his good offices to bring about
the end of the strike, -*"*
A WIFE'S DEVOTION.
She Spent a Night in Jail With Her
Husband, Sentenced For Wife
Beating.
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.

LOOK, LISTEN ?
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,
