To the Editor of The State : By order of the president of the Sumter Pall Festival, I euclose yon a copy of an "open letter" addressed to Gea Y. Coleman, chairman of the Charleston Fall Festival, in ricard to conflict of dates of the Charleston Fall Festival and the Sumter Fall Festival, which I beg yon will publish in your paper. E. L Seardon, Secretary Sumter Fall Festival. J Sumter, Oct. 4, 1904. To Geo. Y. Coleman, Chairman Charleston Fall Festival, Charleston, S. C. Dear Sir: At a meeting of the exe cutive committee of the Surr ter Fall Festival, held' yesterday, the follow ing resolutions were passed : "Resolved, That the president of the Sumter Fall Festival ho and is hereby instructed to correspond wi the officials of the Charleston Fall Festival and endeavor to get them to change the date of the Charleston Fall Festival, so that the same will not conflict with the Sumter Fall Fes tival" In compliance with the above resolu tion, I beg to call yonr attention to the raer that the dates as published for the ^ Charleston Fall Festival from Nov. 1st to 27tb, inclusive, cover the same dates as published for i;he Sum * ter Fall Fes ti va tlc Our committee had been working up the Sumter Fall Festival for some weeks prior to the publishing of tho dates for the Char leston Fall Festival, and ha va gone to such au extent in advertising our fes tival for Nov. 22nd to 25tb, inclusive, that it will be impracticable at this time to change said date. We do not desire to conflict with the Charleston Fall Festival, as we expect many vis itors from Charleston dr ring our fes tival, and would be glad a id expect to contribute many visitors "to the Charleston Fall Festival, as we have always done, if the date of the same can be changed so as not to conflict with our festival. Inasmuch as we were in the field first, both in the selection of our date and in advertising our festival, we think it bul; fair and jost that you change your date and tho* avoid a conflict. Yours truly, R. F. Hayns worth, President. E. L Reardon. Secretary. BWKETT G8TOB OF MANSliUSTES. A Most Celebrated Cass Ended. He is Found Quilty of Having Taken the Life of His Own Wife. Special to The State. Hampton, Oct. 6.-On Monday ^norning a trne bill for murder was >found by the grand jury against Ben "Bennett Arriving on the afternoon .train from Columbia he was brought into court and arraigned. The case went to trial today with Solicitor avis for the State and Senator E. F. ^Warren and W. J. Thomas, Esq., appearing for the defendatnt. The jury retired at 7 p. m. md at 9 p. m.. Judge King h and the court officers and attorneys were sent for. A verdict of guilty of manslaughter with re commendation to the mercy of the oort was received. Bennett will be en teheed tomorrow morning. The case was called up yesterday under a motion made by h iii attorneys to have the case continued to the next term of the cart, Bennett having been only arraignd and the usual three days allowed him for prepara tion. His attorneys made earnest appeals tb the court fer a continuance, bur were opposed by a very clear and strong argumeLt ia reply by Solicitor Davis, who rehearsed the circum stance connected with Bencett's case, the conditions under which he had been pardoned by Gov. McSw^eney, when he was serving a life sentence in tbe State penitentiary, and also referred to a telegram which the soli citor had just read from Attorney Colding of Savannah, who had repre sented Bennett during the ordeal of his extradition from Georgia, to the ffect, *'It was impos-nile to attend conrt ia Hampton because he had to be present at the supt em a court of Georgia. " Attorneys Warren & Themas urged the conrt to grant the continuance because they had only been employed this week. Judge King h rein sed the motion. Bennett's case wit! be beard today. This doubtless disposes of the Ben Bennett case, as tue authorities seem, Willing to let it re<t. lt is held that j ( the violation of his agreement not to retrun to South Carolina ii: pardoned nullified the pardon and that Le is now subject to that formel' .sentence, but it id not li se ly that lois point will be pieced, LOW that Bennett has again been coavicteri. Just so he is in the penitentiary the actborities will be tati&tied. The punishment fur manslaughter is imprisonment not exceeding 30 y?ars and nut less than two. Peter Sells Dead. Columbus, O., Oct. 5.-Peter Sells, the well known showman, died to night at his home here of apoplexy, aged 55 years. He had been in the show business since 1872. . Washington, Ga, Oct. 5.-A pas senger train on the Augusta-Southern railroad ran into a burning trestle near Mitchell, Ga., 59 miles from Augusta, early today and one man was killed and eight oilers injured. The 60 foot trestle was entirely de stroyed by the fire and the tender, compartment car and two coaches also were burned.

Rock Hill Sinister May Give Some Infor maiion of Value. The Augusta Chronicle cf Wednes day says : "More information has been secured relative to the disappearance from North Augusta of Rev. W. Aiken Kelley, the pastor of Grrace Methodist church. Though the information is old it ma" yet be the means of tracing the missing minister. ".lt will be remembered that about a week ago a letter was received from Rev. Geo. P. White of Ridgeway, S. C., to the effect that the writer had seen Mr. Kelley on the train between Columbia and Ridgeway He had not spoken to Mr. Kelley, further than a nod, because the gentleman was en gaged in conversation with another until the writerjeft the coach. 'Dr. Wade Woodward, who travels in South Carolina, was in Rock Hill a few day ago and he learn ed who the getleman was with whom Mr. Kelly had been in conversation, fie was Mr. Arial, a Baptist minister residing in Rock Hill. Br. Wood ward called on Mr. Arial and dis covered that he was in conversation with Mr. Kelley on the train and all the way from Columbia to Rock Hill ; that he knew Mr. Kelley well and he appeared to be all right in every way. Mr. Kelley claimed to be on the way to Charlotte. "When Mr. Arial left the train Mr. Kelly was in conversation with a Char lotte drummer by thejname of Pritch ard. The above is all that is known j at present. "The Rock Hill minister ? has been written to and asked for full particulars. A reply ia expected to day. It is hoped that it will give a clue as to the whereabouts of the mis sing man. He has been asked to learn if possible, the address of the drum mer, who will also be written to for information concerning Mr. Kelley's ictions on his arrival at Charlotte. " When asked over the 'phone last light, Presiding Eldei J. S. Beasley said that he thought this afternoon was practically correct, that he had ;alked to Dr. Woodward several days igo. Mr. Arial-who is a Methodist, iot a Baptist, minister-had been written to out Mr. Beasley had not lad time to receive a reply. Conduc ir Pritchard is probably the man re ferred to, as he was in charge of the rain the day it is now known that tfr. Kelley passed through here going ;o wards Charlotte. There is no doubt row that Mr. Selly went north, perhaps as far as Sew York, but he has not been ;raced any further than Charlotte. The State.

The Fight Between Bishop vi i Ie Weighers Stiii Goss On. Notwithstanding the opinion of the Attorney General, which was given luring the primary in regard to the )ld cotton weighers holding on until ifter the general electicn and the new mes get their commissions and quai led, the newly elected weighers got Messrs. McLendou & Tatum to confer *itu and get the County Board to ppoint them cotton weighers, which :be Board did and the new weighers ;avc bond and demanded of the old weighers to hand over the business as their bonds had expired. The old weighers refused to give np and as the public scales belonged to Mr. D. u. McLanrin and be had turned them ;jver to the newly qualified weighers they took charge Tuesday of last week and weghed cotton the balance of the week. In the meantime, the old weighers employed Hon. T. G. Mc Leod to appear before Judge Dantzler at Manning and get an injunction restraining those from weighing. Judge Dantzler granted a temporary injunction urtil they could show cause why the injunction should not be permitted. Hon. T. G. McLeod, representing the old weighers and J. B. McLauchlin representing tho new ones, took the matter up before Judge Dantzler at Kingstree last Tuesday. After hearing argument from both sides, Judge Dantzler reserved bis opinion and the result is still un known. -Vindicator. George K. Sith, St. Louis, secretary of the Southern Lumber Manufactur ers'Association, is much gratified over the reduced output of the yellow-pine mills during the month of July. He estimates the curtailment of the 223 mills reporting at 144,000,000 feet. The secretary estimates that a full re port would show a relief of not less than 175,000,000 feet for July. Two months more would put the supply down to where it would be easy to obtain the early spring prices. Guess how many people will attend the World's Fair at St. Louis, and get an Automobile--The Machines have all been bought.

It opened the first of May and close* the first of December. How many paid admissions will there bc during the entire period ? Every customer of The Royal Tailors-every man. woman and child placirg an order with ns through anv of our authorized dealers, at any time from now until Nov. 15 next-is enti tled to make one guess for every dollar (or fraction part of a dollar) he or she pays for Royal tailoring. The man who pays 815 for a suit may make 15 guesses: the woman who pays $10 for a skirt maj* make 10 cruesscs: the boy who pays $7.50 for a suit may make 8 guesses, and soon. And every time you order you have the right to make additional guesses. With an ooportunitv to secure one of our valuable prizes, you should look ahead and see to it that the entire family is provided with wearing apparel, not only for fall and winter, but for next sprin^ as well. Our Automobiles have all been lxmght and the person who guesses nearest to the total number of paid admissions to the World's Fair will receive that grand machine-the $4.000 Peerless Touring Car: the person who makes the second nearest guess will receive the su perb $3,000 Touring Car, and so on until the 10 automobiles listed above have been distribut ed. In addition to these 10 automobile prizes, we also offer eight cash prizes of $100 each for the nearest guesses made each month, from Feb. 15 to Nov. 15.1904. except that at the close, the time from Oct, 1 to Nov. 15 will be considered as thc final .'month/' In explanation of these cash prizes for guesses during a given month, please bear in mind that every guess has reference to the total number of paid admissions during the entire period of the World's Fair, and that we arc not asking you to guess what the attendance will be during any single month or week or day. For instance, it is apparent that during the month of August some one will make a closer guess on the total number of admissions than anybody else does (in August), and while it is possible that this guess may not win an automobile prize, still the person making it will receive our check for $100. The official report of the Secretary of the World's Fair, showing the total number of paid admissions, will be made immediately after the close of tho fair and will determine wno are entitled to the prizes. The total paid admissions to the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1S93. was21.4S0.141; the total paid admissions to the Pan-American Exposition, held in Buffalo in 1901, was S.2D5.073. How many will there be at St. Louis This grand prize contest closes Nov. 15. and no estimates made after that date will be considered. This statement is made with the understanding that the World's Fair will ex tend over the period of time now contemplated. Should the fair officials make any change whereby the time is to be either curtailed or extended we may decide to change our time limit for estimates, and due announcement will be made of such change. No person will be entitled to more than one automobile. Should two or more persons make exactly the same guess and that guess be a "prize winner." the value of the prize will be divided equally between them. Guessing blanks are supplied by all Royal dealers throughout the United States, and cus tomers must make their guesses on one of these blanks and have it. sent to us hy the dealer when he sends the order. Upon receipt of guesses we will issue certificates, which will be duly forwarded to dealers, who will deliver them to customers. Get your guesses in early.' There is nothing to be gained by waiting. There is no prob lem alK)ut it-nothing to "figure out"-it is guess work, pure and simple, and the figures you make today are just as likely to be l>e the good ones as those you make tomorrow or next week. And don't forget that notwithstanding the immense outlay contemplated by this grand offer, our prices for made-to-measure garments will continue to be always the lowest for high grade individual tailoring service. We guarantee every customer entire satisfac tion on each and every order-better values always than can be had from any other house in America. That's strong talk, and that is just what we mean.

RYTTENBERG. Miss Beaufort Brand Presented With Handsome Souvenir. After the services yesterday morning at the First Baptist church, Miss Beaufort Brand, who left today for her home in Sumter, was presented with a very lovely brooch, an enamel ed four-leaf clover, studded with pearls. The gift came from the music committee in appreciation of her ser vices to the choir. The presentation was made by Judge E. H. Callaway who in a few brief words expressed the regret of the church at the loss of her services. Miss Brand, although taken Dy surprise, expressed her sin sere thanks and also her regret at leaving the choir where she had serv- j sd so long and appreciatively.-Au- j justa Herald, Oct. 3. Lee County News Notes. Miss Lyla Barrett, of Samter, is visiting in town. Supervisor Durant has been official ly served with papers to pay over to j Sumter the money due ber, but he, ias referred to same to Senator Hay j Df Camden who has the case in hand, j We have been informed by a reliable party from Lamar, that the ne- j ?roes over there are buying arms and save already made their threats that 3am Marks shall not be hanged. In me shipment they got fifty guns. If ;ne. negroes start that game they tfill gei the worst of it, so we advise ;hem to keep cool.-Vindicator Drifting to the South. From the Portland, Me, Press. Fall River, Mass., is in a hard case, md its case may be typical of condi tions in other cotton manufacturing ;entres in New England. Some 27, )00 mill operatives in that city, earn ng a total of $150, COO a week, have :ea*ed work rather thn submit to an ther wage reduction, this time of 12} per cent, and mill propertv represent ing an investment of $25,0000, be iomes idle. A ccording to the manu !acturers, side of tiie case they could Detter afford to shut down than to run the mills at a lose, as they claimed ;hey were doing. They held that, what with cheap labor in the Sooth, :he high price of raw cotton and a ?lack market, the conditions were ill against them on the basis on which ;hey were making rloth, and that :be only noFsible way to go on was oj reducing expenses, that ie, vage6. Already they had tried the reduction of output through running 'he mills on less than full time, but his bad^not prodnced the desired re sults and a wage cut waa the only resource left if they were to go on. That the manufacturers were sincere in their position is indicated by ihe Pact that they let the bands go with out any effort to retain them and let tbe property remain idle without an ifort to get others in the place of the strikers. On the other hand, the unions con tend tbat the way to better conditions is not by cheapening cloth through cheapening labor, that the stagnation of the market is due rather to over production than to lack of demand ; that if the wages are reduced buyers will bc quick to discount that in the price of the goods, and that anyway they had already boen cut 10 per cent in their wages and been compelled to make other sacrifices in the loss of timo by curtailment of production, and could stand no more ; that they bad better walk out and be idle altogether than to accept wages on which they could not liv . Nor is this an unrea sonable position, any more than that of the employers. If each side states its case correctly, both are in a hard position, and it is really difficult to see what can be done. Whether the con ditions are similar in the other manu facturing centres does not appear, but it would not bo supposed that they could be greatly dissimilar. It is pos sible that with the working off of the stock of cloth on hand, and with the settling of the cotton market back to normal conditions on the harvesting of a good crop, the manufacturing conditions will improve. But if present conditions prove permanent, if through au abundant supply of cheaper labor and other advantages, the. south is destined to win from New Eng land its old cotton manufacturing sur pemacy, it is going to be a hard situ ation to face. It would have conse quences not pleasing to contemplate. But New England is not likely to give up that supremacy without a struggle to retaiu it ; nor because of a cotton strike and conditions that may be onlv temporary, should the conclusion be jumped at that tbe cotton manufacur ing industry in this section is declin ing. It is too strongly established here and tbere is too nmch at stake. I J. E. Scott Laid to Rest. j Died at Kingrtree last Sunday ! morning, Mr. Jonius E. Scott of i Manning, in the 60th year of his age. I The deceased had been an invalid for a i long time, and spent some time in ! the local infirmary from which he j was discharged as improved.

Brunsou pastor of the Methodist church. The deceased came to Manning from Williamsburg over 30 years ago. He kept books for the late Moses Levi a j number of years, and gave np that position to accept the county auditor- j ship which he held for a number of years, meriting the reputation of be- j ing one of the best auditors in the State. After retiring from the audi- j tors ofHce, he studied law and was ad- j mitted to the bar, but never practiced, j devoting his time to surveying.

Alford of Sumter, who, with his brother, recently invented a combination dental motor machine and fountain cuspidor was in the city yesterday exhibiting his machine to the local dentists. The dentists here are highly pleased with it, and Dr. Alford is receiving high endorsements from the leading dentists wherever the machine has been demonstrated, and is receiving orders constantly. A charter bas recently been granted by the secretary of state to a company for the manufacture of this machine und a plant will be established very soon somewhere in this sectiou for the manufacture of this and ono or two other invention, that Dr. Alford will soon put on the market. The company has recently protected the machine by patents in all foreign countries. -The State. - i- - i - Every big, successful 6tore in this city has, at some time, "skated on thin ice,'- risked failure, advertised on a larger scale than the cash in bank seemed to warrant.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 5.-Elections of State and county officers, members of the legislatrue judges and solicitors were held in every county in Georiga today. There was practically no opposition to the Democratic candi dates for State offices nor for county judges and attorneys. London, Oct. 6 -The coasts of Eng land and France were swept by a ter rific gale all through the night and this morning the storm has abated but little. Many liners are storm bound at Liverpool and elsewhere. A dis patch from Havre contains the report of the captain of the steamer Loris. He says that when 12 miles north east of Ushant he saw two whale boats and a large quantity wreckage, appa rently the remains cf a large steamer. It is feared that a serious disaster occurred in that vicinity. A terrific gale was blowing off Ushant then and a thick fog hung over the sea. Chicago, Oct. 6.-The Republic Iron and Steel Company officials have completed negotiations by which the company will be able to raise $7,000, 000 in cash to carry out the expansion of plants and meet the floating debt. The amount will put the company in the best condition to extend its com petition with the United States Steel trust.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a bacil lus germ which exists plentifully in street dirt. It is inactive so lon;* as exposed to the air. but when carried beneath the skin, as in the wounds caused by percussion caps or by rusty nail*, and when the air is excluded the germ is roused to activity and produces the most virulent poison known. These germs may be destroyed and all danger of lockjaw avoide by ap j lj iutf Chamberlain's Pain Balm freely as soon as the injary is received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic aud canees cuts, bruises and like injariee to heal without matura tion and in one third the timts required by the usual treatment. It is for sale by Chic a's Drag Store. Scarce Poultry. Xow that Thanksgiving is approach ing, ncultry merchants are already on tho lookont for stock. Two months is nearly the time limit for getting and filling Thanksgiving orders. Ac cording to the National Provisioner, a carefnl survey of the field fails to find a plentiful supply of birds. Good poultry will not be plentiful enough to go around at reasonable figures. Farmers have sold their grain at good prices and have not bothered to fat ten their turkeys, geese, ducks and chickens. . In fact, the farms show a smaller supply of all poultry as com pared with two years ago. High prices of meats have increased the eyer popnlar taste for poultry and have kept the price and the demand at the toD notch. This has served to keep chickens and other birds from coming to market. That largely ac counts for the present scarcity. The demand has been so. brisk and the prices so .well maintained at the farm that almost anything brought re latively good prices That may ac count largely for the negligence or lack of feeding at the farm. The fact exists that poultry of all kinds is scarce and the price will be pretty stiff for the Thanksgiving trade. Prime birds will, in the language of the southern famrer, "go 'way yon der." This is likely to enliance the already high price of veal, pork and lamb roasts. Fiuished turkeys and geese wlil be very high, if the demand is at all strong for them.
