A writer in the World's Work de? clares thai "it is southwestward that 'i the star of empire takes its way, for ' Texas has this year passed Missouri iu population, and there are now only four states that contain more people New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio. Io area, Texas is nearly a third larger than all four of them. At the present rates of increase of popula? tion, Texas will pass Ohio before, 1920, Illinois beofre 1930 Pennsylvania by 1949 and *New York by 1950, and be? come the most populous state in the Union. If it were as densely settled as New York now is, it would contain 41,000,000 souls and wbeu it becomes densely populated as England or Ger? many is, it will contain 95,000,000. By the act of Congress admitting it in? to the Union, the state may be divided into as many as five states whenever the people desire d ivision ; but divis? ion has never been seriously proposed. Since 1860 Illinois bas had more miles of railroad than any other state till this fall : but on September 1 Texas exceeded it, haviirg now 11,517 miles of main track. Texas produces about one-third of our whole cotton crop. More wheat is now shipped thence than from both New York and New Orleans, Galveston is nearer the trans Mississippi wheat fields than any At? lantic port and the Panama canal will bring it very much nearer irban it now is to the Pacific ports both of North and Souht America. The growth of the southwest is indicated by the steady moving of the centre of population dur? ing tlie last census decade fourteen miles westward and th res miles south? ward, and the center of cotton produc? tion is moving from western Missis sipppi across the river.'* Have you resd that very interest? ing magazine, Tiie Smart Set': Bain ?-~ i,iiw?iWLiiWBPMw?oMBMn-a-c--a ' NOTICE OF , . flpii i Ms of SBteip?i.

Magnolia Sept. 24.-Plenty of cot? ton to pick-the fields are snowy white, bat hands are in great demand. ?A gale or storm at this time would prove most diastrous to farmers. This correspondent has never seen cotton marketed as fast so early in the fall. The platforms around the depot are crowded out and the cotton has to be thrown on the ground. The railroad facilities for handling this staple are not sufficient for this unusual rash in the shipping line;, bar the rush will soon be over, as the cotton is nearly all open, and will be picked oot as fast as the hands can gather it. Dr. E. F. Darby, wife and son were delighted with their trip to Baltimore and Washington a few days ago. Our graded school will open on next Monday. Prof. Branson reached this place last night, an the other teachers, Miss Clack and. Miss Annie Keels, 'will be here on time. The graded school building has been en? larged and painted. It is now quite a handsome building, for which mach credit is due the ever faithful aud efficient trustees who have suc? cessfully combatted and overcome every obstacle that threatened defeat. The trustees of this* school have done some good financiering, and as a re? sult, the building bas not a dollar against it. The protracted meeting at the Bap? tist church, conducted by the pastor, Kev. J. . H. Mitchell, closed last night, with several accessions to the church. Mr. Mitchell is a young min? ister of ability and of Christian zeal. He at the start impresses his headers with his earnestness and deep sin? cerity. Young Mr. Griffin's handsome mil? linery store is completed and nearly all of his well selected stock in. Contractor Magnus Watts has proven that he is a safe and reliable mechanic, and will be in demand from now on. Rev. T. M. Dent, pastor of the M. E. Church in Lynchburg, expects to start a protracted meeting there in" a few days. Messrs. Frankie McLeod, Jack. Griffin and Wilber Dent have left for college, and Ernest McFadden will leave next week. Mr. J. A. Luckey has returned from his summer visit, of several week abroad, much improved. Our genial friend, W. T. McLeod, is again favoring us with the light of his pleasnt countenance, but he'll soon be on the wing again. Occasional. NEWS OF REV. KELLY. . Augusta, Sept 26.- Chief M. J. Norris has received a letter from Rev. Geo. P. White, of Ridgeway, S. C., notifying him that on the night of the 16th he saw Rev. Wm. Aiken Kelly, pastor of the North Augusta Methodist church, on a Southern train beyond Columbia. This is the first direct news that has been received from the missing preacher. Mr. White, who is the pas? tor of the Baptist church at Ridge? way, knows Mr. Kelly personally. He explains that Mr. Kelly was on the same train with him that left Colum ' bia on the night of the day of his dis? appearance. Mr. White left the train at Ridgeway, 25^ miles out of Colum? bia, ana left Mr."Kelly on board. Mr. White recognized Mr. Kelly 3nd salutations at a distance were ex? changed. Mr. Kelly was conversing with another gentleman on the train, only a few seats away from Mr. White. Before Mr. White had an opportunity to speak to Mr. Kelly his house was readied and he left the i train. Mr. White declares that Mr. Kelly conducted himself as a perfectly . rational man would. He judged by the animated conversation he was car? rying on with the party in the same j seat that he was in the best of spirits, j He did not dream that anything-was wrong with Mr. Kelly and was sur? prised oa reading the account of the ? disappearance. The letter from Mr. Waite lias been turned over to Mr. Kelly's friends. They look upon it a the first piece cf authentic news as to the direction in which Mr. Kelly was traveling. They do not queesion the identification of Mr. White, as he knows Mr. Kelly personally. It is a corroboration of the opinion toe}* have held all along, namely, that Mr. Kelly did not re? main in the vicinity of Augusta, but that be left for some point suggested by a disordered brain. Mr. Kelly's friends are confident that further news wilt follow the gen? eral publication of the disappearance in the press of the country. Efforts are still being made to locate the mis? sing man. The Sheriffs are Responsible. Columbia, Sept. 26* -Governor Hey ward has been asked to llave a prompt trial of the negro prisoner who was brought here for safekeeping by the sheriff of Darlington County, j He has advised ids correspondents that he has nothing to do with the setting of dates for trials or the StSO sions of the Court, but that such mat? ters will have to be taken up with Solicitor Johnson, and tbat he is sat? isfied that Mr. Jcnhsou will have the case heard as soon as possible. * It might also be stated in this con? nection that Governor Heyward did not order, direct or suggest that the Darlington prisoner he brought to Columbia for safe keeping. 'J he sug? gestion was made to him by the sheriff of Darlington that he bring the prisoner here and Governor Hey? ward told him that he would have to use his best judgment in the matter. He could not advise him not to bring the prisoner, if* tiie sheriff, who was upon the scene, thought that it was best to bring the prisoner to Colum? bia. If the prisoner had not been brought and anything had happened, the responsibility was upon the sher iff, and Governor Heyward simply left it in his hands to do what lie thought best and safe to protect the prisoner. Personally Governor H ey ward thinks ir bad to bring prisoners to Co? lumbia for safe keeping, if they can possibly be protected at home, but cir? cumstances alter cases, and he will not assume to dictate what should or should not be doue when the sheriffs are responisble and have to exercise their best judgment.

Fell From Street Car and Died From Ef? fects. Mr. R. M. Pierson, a retired lum? ber man, who was nntil - recently a resident of Walterboro, was killed by a fall from a trolley cai in Savannah Saturday night. Mr. Pierson was with his fiance. ' Miss Westendorff, who formerly lived in Charleston. The following account of the accident was published in the Savannah News of Sunday : " While with the young lady whom he was to make his bride next Wed? nesday, Mr. R. M. Pierson, a wealtny and retired saw mill mau of Walterboro, S. C., fell from a Liberty street trolley car on West Broad street at the union station early last night and sustained injuries from -which he died several hours later at the Savan? nah Hospial. . "Miss Leah Anderson Westendorff, daughter cf Mrs. James E. Westen dorff, until recently of Charleston, and Mr. Pierson were to have been married Wednesday morning at the home of the bride's mother, No. 4 Oglethorpe avenue, west. Miss West endorff's trcussea? had been prepared and all arrangements had been made for the wedding, "Early last night Miss Westendorff, her mother and Mr. Pierson started for the union station and bearded a Liberty street car. The car was al? most at a standstill when Mr. Pierson stepped off for the purpose of assisting Miss vVestendorff and her mother. In some way he missed his footing and fell backwards, striking on his head on the vitrified brick pavement. "He was unconscious when assist? ance reached him and never spoke after falling. The police ambulance was summoned and Dr. W. W. Owens was called. Mr. Pierson was taken to the Savannah Hospital, where an exami? nation was made. There was no evi? dence of a fracture of the skull, al? though he never regained conscious? ness. He died about midnight. "Miss Westendorff and her mother went to the hospital and were almost prostrated when Mr. Pierson's death was made known to them. It bad been hoped that his injuries were uot of a serious nature, aud his death was a great shock to his intended bride. "Mr. Pierson, until about four years ago, was engaged in the lumber and saw mill business at Walterboro and was successful. He retired and had spent considerable of his time in travelling. Several months ago he met Miss W?stendorff'at her mother's home in this city, and a friendship which he had cherished for the family in South Carolina, ripened into love for the daughter he met here. All arrangements had been made lor the wedding and a bridal trip was to have been made to St. Louis." Funeral of Mr. Pierson. The funeral of Mr. Robert Pierson, who was killed in Savannah, Ga., Staurday, by a fall from a street car, wa3 held at the cemetery at 9.45 this morning. Mr, Pierson was a brother of Mrs. S. E. Brand, of this city, and of tho late Capt. B. G. Pierson. Me was a resident of rhis county prior to his removal to -Colleton county twelve or fifteen years ago.

Court Recommends That the Com? pany on Duty When Horace Ma? ples Was Lynched Be Dismis? sed. Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 26.-Gov. j Cunningham today received the re- j port of the military court of inquiry j appointed to investigate the conduct J of company F. Alabama National Guard^ which was overpowered by the mob at Huntsville, Ala., that lynched Horace Maples, a negro. The report, which is signed by Col. T. S. Fraser, Capt. E. D. Smith and Capt.W. F. Vaiden, recommends that company F be mustered out for ineffi? ciency and that in the future all offi? cers be required to pass au examina? tion on the State military law before receiving commission. Oct. li was the date fixed for the mustering out of the command. The court fuond that Cap. R. L. j Hay had no definite plan of action, and that most of the men had no load i in their guns, though plenty of ammu- j nition was to be had, also that one sentinel was overpowered and badly j hurt by the mob. It was also found that members of j the military company were cursed and assaulted by the mob after the fire j was set to the jail and that they lost j their military identity in the crowd. It was further found that the attack | on the jail found the military sitting ? around on the steps and curbstones eating, also that on the night of the | mob there was an entire lack of con? certed effort or plans for the protec? tion of the jail or prisoner. "That the combined short comings of the military allowed a life to be taken unlawfully by a mob under circum? stances which justify us in concluding that the same could have been pre? vented, thereby reflecting serious dis? credit upon the military called into the service.*' THE WORK OF THE NIHILISTS. Why the Russian Government is Helpless Against the Campaign of Assassination. St. Petersburg, Sept. 27.-While some of the features of the plot which cnlminated in the assassination of M. Von Plehve, the minister of the inte? rior, still baffle the police, the au? thorities profess to be now perfectly certain that the conspiracy was hatch? ed in Geneva by half a dozen Rus? sians, mostly Jews. The authorities know the names and addresses of the conspirators, but are unable Ito take legal action against them, owing to the failure of the laws of Swi'/erland to interfere with political refugees, and. therefore, Russian terrorists are at liberty, from their haven in the Alps, to continue the work of assassi? nation of Russian ministers so long as they are able to find emissaries will iDg to risk their lives, the organizers never venturing to carry out their own designs. Six men who engineered the Plehve plot, according to the re? sult of the Russian police investiga? tion, are declared beyond a shadow of doubt, to have organized a series of political crimes. For the first time the fact is now revealed that M. "Plehve's murder had been preceded by four abortive artempts to encompass his death, which the department of political police frustrated in the nick of time by the arrest of thc would-be assassins, who were quietly imprison? ed. A False Alarm. A false alarm of fire was gi ven Friday morning a little after nine o'clock. Both teams were out of their respec? tive houses in a remarkably short space of time : they turned down Main street going south at full tilt, and those who happened to be on the street at that time witnessed a very exciting side by side race. The horses were brought to a standstill near the railroad track and were driven back in a slow trot. From such an exhibition, Sumter's chances for capturing prizes in the proposed tournament this fall certainly appear good. Senator Hoar Worse Again. Worcester. Mass..

According to Judicious Advertising, John Wanamaker says: "If there is one enterprise on earth that a "quit? ter' should leave severely alone, it is advertising. To make a success of ad? vertising one must be prepared to stick to it like a barnacle on a boar's bot? tom. He should know Defore he begins i\w it that he must spend money-lots of it. Somebody must tell him, als:), that he caunont hope to reap results commensurate with his expenditure early in the game. Advertising doesn't jerk: it pulis. It begins very gently at first, but the pull is steady. It increase day by day and year by year until it exerts an irresis? tible power.
