S8M?EB F?Ll FESTiV?L
?TTRsc?s Nimm.
And Many Will Enjoy Festivities if
the Merchants WiH Gloss
Stores Thursday Next.
lt is probable tbat merchants of
Columbia will closa their stores
Ifcanksgiving day. There will be au j
additional reason for this. The peo- j
pto of the plucky city of Sumter are
getting np a big carnival which will
ha attended by a ^rreat crowd of Co?
lumbia people if the stores will be
closed.
Messrs. J. L. Mimnaugh & Co.
have been the first to declare their in
~taution to close. In reply to a letter
from the secretary of the Sam ter Fall
.Festival, Mr. E. L Reardon. Mim
nangh & Co. says: "In compliance
with the request of the executive com?
mittee we will be glad to close our
store on Nov. 24tb, provided the other
representvative houses of Columbia
will do likewise."
Mr. Reardon's request of the Colom?
bia merchants is expressed in the fol?
lowing manner :
"At tbe meeting of the executive
committee of the Sumter Fall Festi?
val held last evening, the attention of
the committee was called to a state?
ment made by a prominent citizen of
your city to the erect that a large
somber of business men and their em?
ployes desire to attend the Samter
Fell Festival on Thanksgiving day.
Nov. 24, but that there was a degree
of uncertainty as to the number of
places of business which would be
dosed in Columbia on that day. The
executive committee has directed me
to write you as one of the most promi?
sent and influential business men of
Colombia, to request that you will
have circulated a petition requesting
all the places of business to be closed
OB that day in orier to allow as many
people as possible to come to Sumter.
Our advertising agent. Mr. J. A. Sch?
werin, has informed us of the kind
feeling; and the great interest mani?
fested by you towards the city of Sum?
ter and our fall festival We therefore
feel at liberty to make this request
-of yon by order of tbe executive com
??ttee. ' '-Columbia State.
Facer Pulp Company is Being Or?
ganized at Georgetown.
Georgetown, Nov. 15.-The organ?
ization of a paper pulp company with
a capital of $250,000 is now under way,
to be known as the Carolina Paper
Palp company, and it is expected that
all preliminary arrangements will
save been perfected by tbe first of
January and the plant built and put
in operation shortly thereafter. The
waste timber fiom the lamber mill
?lil be utilized by this plant and con?
certed into pulp. Any quantity of
this material can be secured for the
purpose at a minimum expense.
Jir. D. H. Green, president of the
"Seaboard Product company, is push
ing the enterprise and Mr. H. B.
-Springs is disposing of the stock at
$50 per share, non-assessable. None
of the stock is to be preferred. Of
the ?250,000 capitial, only $100,000
W?rth will be* sold at this time and
one half cf this ??PGunt bs? already
bees subscribed.
Ignominious End of a% Promising
Industry.
Aiken certainly cem8s to the front
ea all occasions. Some years ago a
couple of parties through the kind
^heartedness of some philanthropists
were put into possession of a gold
brick. And - last spring it seems that
similar philanthropists put some oth?
ers in possession of an aluminum
brick. The time has evidently not
yet come when people will learn that all
that glisters is not gold-or aluminum.
And as a well known character remar?
ked, "the point of a remark lies in
the application of it."
Well the application is the finale cf
the great aluminum industry that was
?o do such great things for Aiken.
Through some unfortunate train of cir?
cumstances over which the enterpris
iag stockholders bad no control, tbe
#350,000 was not put into the enter
pries; the GOO skilled ojerators did not
come on : the village witt) about 1500
inhabitants was not built: rite few
buildings put up were burned down;
sad finally in steps the sheriff and
lays his ruthless hand on everything
in sight and ont of sight.
And now therefore on the first Mon?
day in December everything apper?
taining to the Pope Ciay Produc?a Co.
will be sold ander sundry executions.
This will probably mark the end of
the grest aluminum enterprise.
Here cndsth the second lesson.

Roosevelt Removes ?lask-m Offi
cials for Corrupt Practicas in
Courts in Mining Claim Cases
After an Investigation
by Judge Day.
Washington, Nov. 16.-President
Roosevelt has removed from office
Frank H. Richards, United States
martial for the Nome district in
Alaska, and has requested tb? resig?
nation of Judge Melville C. Brown, of
the Juneau district. This action is
the result of the investigation of the
Alaska judiciary made recently by
Assistant Attorney General Day. The
case of Judge Alfred S. Moore is
held in abeyance!
The nature of the charges made
against the officials was not made pub?
lic in detail, it being deemed advisa?
ble not to publish at this time the re?
port made by Judge Day. It is known,
however, that the charges involve
seifen, if not corrupt, practices before
the Alaskan courts in mining claim
cases.
Charges, from time to time, have
been made against nearly all thejfed
eral officials of Alaska, Gov. Bray not
being exempt but is said that the
action of the presiden*; today finally
closes the matters of these charges,
officials of the administration being
satisfied that Gov. Brady, Judge
James Wickersham of the Yukon dis?
trict and other officials involved in
them have acted in the best interests
of the territory. Judge Wickersham
was reappointed today.
