A REMARKABLE HOMICIDE. D, G. McIntosh Arrested tn Cheraw for Having Accidentally Killed AV. C. Traywick. Columbia, Jan. 18.-In the state supreme court room yesterday after ternoo^i, Chief Justice Pope granted bail in the sum of $1,000 to D. G. Mc? Intosh, of Cheraw, who is under ar? rest on the charge of having killed W. C. Traywick in that town a short time ago. Ii will be recalled from the account * published already that late one af? ternoon young Traywick was seen comisg in from the woods, where he had been, hunting. He was staggering and it was seen that he was in distress. When assistance arrived he was speechless, and upon examination it was seen that he had been shot under the right shoulder by a ball of small calibre which had cut through both lungs, as shown afterwards at the autopsy. No one seemed to know any? thing about the matter. At the coroner's inquest, D. G. Mc? Intosh, the assistant to the agent'at the Coast Line depot at Cheraw, and a very popular young man, testified that he had been shooting at sparrows around the depot, having- used a rifle belonging to a son of Mr. W. D. Evans. It was a gun of small calibre and he had no idea that.it could send a ball to the . distance where Mr. < Traywick first seen in distress. Soon after condition of Mr. Traywick was ?ra. Mr. McIntosh had spoken of aiatter to Mr. Godfrey, the agent, Mr. Godfrey also thought that it ould be impossible for the rifle to carry* to such a distance,, about 200 The coroner's jury brought in a ver- j diet which confessed doubt as to the source from which the fatal bullet came, and declared its belief in Mr. McIntosh's innocence of any int ?nt to k?l his friend. For several day., noth? ing was said in regard to prosecution, but the camp of the Woodmen of the World at Kershaw sent a committee to Cheraw to investigate the cause of the death of their fellow member, who had gone from Kershaw to take a place as manager of the planing mill of Captain J. H. W. Stevens. This com? mittee hesitated about taking formal action, but has at last done so, and McIntosh was arrested Monday after? noon. 1"-Se?citor Johnson made no effort to .resist the motion for bail after all the facts had been laid before the chief jststice. The amount of bail was fixed in a nominal sum. -The State. $100 REWARD, $100, The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is- at least one dreaded disease that science has that is- Catarrh.

ISSUE OF NE?TR??TY. CH?XA REALLY HAS THE BETTER OF RUSSLA m THIS MATTER. Secretarq Hay Points Ont to the Russian Ambassador Certain Points of international Law in Regard to Neutrality Which Russia Seems to Have Overlooked. ' Wallington, Jan. 17.-The note of Secretary Hay relative to the Russian charge of violation by China of the laws of neutrality, which is to be presented to the Pekin authorities by Mr. Coolidge, the .secretary of the i American legation at Pekin, will, it is expected, be rather welcomed by the Chinese government, as affording it a proper opportunity to make formal re? ply to the Russian charges. It is further believed that the Chi? nese government has practically pre? pared its defense. This will amount to a sweeping denial of the accuracy of the Russian charges upon many points and a declaration that where the Rus? sian statements are founded on facts, they do not constitute violations of the laws of neutrality as accepted by the Powers. Touching the Rieshiteini incident it will be alleged that no facts have been adducedto show that the Chinese au? thorities had warning of the Japanese intention and consequently they could ^H>t be accused of wilfull neglect to take necessary percautions to protect the Russian craft from seizure. ; Touching the charge that many Chi? nese are serving in the Japanese army for pay, it is believed that the Japan? ese government, after questioning tb^e [truth of the allegation, and pointing to the failure of the Russians to find Chi? nese among- the Japanese killed in I battle, will raise the point that even if ? such Chinese did serve as Japanese soldiers, such fact does not of itself [constitute a violation of international jlaw respecting neutrality. Thc other charge in the ^Russian complaint, namely, the employment of j Japanese officers to drill Chinese troops in modern tactics, will, it is be? lieved, also be declared to be within the rights of any power, and not a vio lation of the rules of neutrality. The Japanese government has been informed of the Russian complaint and it is stated here that it is preparing a complete and categorical denial of the Russian charges. Beside this denial it is understood the note will make sharp comment upon alleged violations of neutrality by some'of the powers in fa? vor of Russia, notably in connection with the extension to Russian vessels, which were being hotly pursued by the Japanese, of rights of asylum in neu? tral ports. Secretary Hay has addressed a note to the Russian ambassador here, ac? knowledging the receipt of the Rus? sian complaint of violation of netrality by China. The secertary availed him? self of the opportunity to call the at? tention of the Russian government to certain cardinal principles of interna? tional law relative to neutrality which seemed to apply to the present case. It is believed that he particularly di? rected attention to the formidable dif? ficulties sure to be encountered by a neutral power near the theatre of war in its efforts to carry out obligations of neutrality. Vienna, Jan. 20.-Intense cold pre? vails in Moravia, snow falling to the depth of several feet and a number of fatalities have been reported.

John Clegg, of Greenwood, Committed to Jail for Shooting His Son While Crazed With Liquor. Greenwood, Jan. 19.--The coroner's jury, which adjourned Monday to meet again today to finish hearing the evi? dence in the matter of Scott Clegg, whose death w?s reported Monday, brought in a verdict this afternoon that he came to his death from a gun shot wound at the hands of his own father, John Clegg. The verdict was expected in view of developments af? ter Monday's hearing. The unfortu? nate tragedy has been the topic of con? versation ever since it happened. By some sympathy is expressed for the father, because of the fact that it has been shown clearly that he was drunk at the time. In fact, he seemed, as phrased by some, to be "perfectly crazy." Whether he caused the death of his son by drunken carelessness or by the impulse of a sudden blind wave of drunken passion will be for a jury to decide. John Clegg was at once arrested and is now in the county jail to be tried for the murder of his own son. * STRANGE DEATH IN SUMMERTON. Mr. W. M.

New Orleans, Jan. 20.-From what at first looked to be a conevntion of moderate size, the convention of the Southern Cotton Growers' Protective Association at New Orleans, January 24, 25 and 26 promises to more than double original estimates and Presi? dent Harvie Jordan has written the New Orleans Progressive union that he anticipates from 700 to 800 dele? gates, composed of farmers, mer? chants and bankers from every section of the South.

At a special meeting of the vestry of the church of the Holy Comforter, held yesterday afternoon a decision was arrived at in reference to the time at which work on the proposed new church building shall begin. The church having sold the church lot and rectory on South Main and Harvin streets, arrangements had to be made for a new rectory and a temporary church until the new church can be built. Under the terms of sale the church retains possession of the property until August . 1st. It was decided by the ves? try to begin the erectipn of a rectory on the lot recently purchased on East Calhoun street in the immediate fu? ture so as to have it completed on or before July 31st. The old church building will be torn down and removed to the new church I lot on thc corner of North Main and Calhoun streets. It will be re-erected on one side of the lot, where it will not be in the way of the new church, for use as a temporary Sunday school room. The removal will begin about the middle of July and it is hoped to have it ready for occupancy by Sep? tember 1st. The vestry also decided that it would be practicable to begin work in the spring of 1906 on the new church and have it completed during the year.

Government Representative at Tun? stall, Eng., Reports Combinations Are Being Formed for Cam? paign to Get American Sta? ple at Ten Cents. The following report from United States Consul Snrythe at Tunstall, England, has been given out by the department of commerce and labor, dated December 16, 1904: "It was my intention to cable you. today in reference to reports that ap? peared in last night's papers, con? cerning the condition of the Egyption cotton crop, with relation to the po? sition of our cotton planters of the south, but I concluded a mail dis? patch would accomplish my purpose just as well. These reports are very discouraging, inasmuch as they fore? shadow a shortage in next year's crop of the class of staples that come into competition with American cotton.. For this reason I do not hesitate to say it would be advisable to warn the southern planters against any move on the part of Lancashire manufacturers to force sales at low prices in order to meet the requirements of such a de? ficiency. "The general opinion in Lancashire is that a plentiful supply of American cotton can be had on a 10-cent basis, hold the price at this notch, if possit ble, and these combinations intend to operate through agents sent specially to Louisiana and all the cotton pro? ducing centres of the south. The trou? bles among the cotton manufacturers of the east are expected to aid in the development of this scheme as they | are calculatedt o hae a devpressing effect on the home market in their relation to supply and demand. "My candid opinion is that an enor- j mous amount of money can be saved to our planters by taking this matter up in time, and invoking the assist? ance of the banks or the national treasury^ " such an arrangement can be made, to enable the planters to warehouse their cotton until the pres? ent stocks are worked up on this side, and the necessities, of the manufacture ers compel them to break, or make liberal terms with the growers . "The erection of new mills in lan? cashire, and the effect which their consumption is likely to have on the market next year, lends additional in? terest to this subject and serves to emphasize the views I have taken the liberty to express in this dispatch. Fif? teen-cent cotton or even 12-cent cot? ton, a difference of 2 cents, compared with 10 cents, o.t every bale of cotton exported, would cut a very important figure in the net assets of one year s crop, and add/ materially to the wealth and prosperity of the south." - mm HIM wm - The South Won. Cincinniati, Jan. 20.-The south won the cocking, main of the North vs. South fought on the Kentucky side of the river near here, the first contest nding today. D. H.
