Action of Southeastern Cotton Buyers' Association In Regard to Execs* Tore on Rales. The Southeastern Cotton Buyers' Association Is determined that no cot? ton bought by Its members shall be loaded down with excess bagging and ties Therefore, resolutions have been adopted and circulars sent out to gin ners and cotton planters stating tha: no bale must have over the regulation wrapping, that Is. six yards of bag? ging and six ties or bands. On all bales having over this amount of wrapping there will be a penalty placed of fifty cents and this penalty will be Increased in proportion to the amount of excess wrapping used. All farmers are urged , to protect their cotton from the weather as much as possible, also, or the dam? aged cotton will have to be picked off or a heavy allowance made for the same. Glnners are asked to be careful not to allow the condensed stetfm to go into the bale as this water-packs It and the farmers will suffer the loss. This action of the association has done much to stop the placing of ex? cess tare upon the bales and it is hoped that all planters will take care in the future that their cotton has no excess tare on it and thus avoid the penalty In selling it.

REPOItT OF THE CITY NURSE. Much Good Work Done in the Past Few Weeks by S?ss Gibson. This repoTt covers? six weeks. In thdt time I have made 265 visits. Have had three cases of obstetrics and assisted with three operations. I have treated several cases of con? tinued fever, but only two of typhoid. I have gone regularly twice a WSSk to treat one old lady suffering with a chronic trouble. For six week* I have visited an aged person afflicted with Intestinal tuberculosis. She was unfortunate enough to fall and break her arm. This with the other tron ble prostrated her. Another old lady suffering, right next door, with the same dread dis? ease rapidly succumbed. I have fctlll another on my list, the one I con? stantly refer to In my reports. Her's is pulmonary tuberculosis. She is now walking about the house, but feeble, of course. These patients are much to be pitied. I was sent to assist a mother with an extremely 111 baby. Nothing we did helped in any way, and in three days the little one had left us. One patient 1 have suffers excruciat? ing agony every week or so with at? tacks caused from the presence of gall stones. An operation In this case is Imperative. I can only re? lieve the pain for the time. Ths typhoid fever patient referred to In my last report has been very sick for the last six weeks with ma? larial fever and chills following the typhoid. Now he Is much better; I truly hope he will continue so. I enjoyed my two weeks* vacation last month. Spent the time on Sulli? van's Island and came back to my du ties much refreshed. Antonia B.

The exprssa freight service put on by the Southern Hallway on last Mon? day is so far proving a success, both as to the amount of business being dons and as to the quick delivery of th*1 goods. Every trip the car has carried ? pood load, and the freight has bssn dsllvsred In this city by i" o'clock each morning. Thsrs can be no doubt but thai the service win be largely patronise d and that tin- enterprise of the Southern Railway will cause other roads to pul on the sains service for their pa? trons. AUTOMOBILE DECISION. Sil prt-nie- Court Says Autlmobolists Must be Careful Wl?le Traveling Country Roads. Columbia, Sept. 25.?The supreme court has handed down a decision, laying down the principle that the driver of an automobile on a country road must use every reasonable pre? caution against frightening horses and mules. In cases of danger, the court says, the driver of a machine must not, only stop his machine, but cut out the motor. The case in which the principle was announced was that of Thos. S. and Caroline Rochester, of Greenville, against J. A. Bull, manager of Chick Springs Hotel. The plaintiffs alleged that they were injured in a runaway, and that their horse was frightened by Mr. Bull's automobile. They sued and a Greenville jury gave them $450 damages, Mr. Bull appealed and hence the dieclsion, which upholds the ver? dict of the common plep . court. ?DeWItt's Carbolized Witch Hazel Salve Is good for little burns and big burns, small scratches or bruises and big ones.

Calvin Hemphill for the United States senate. This was at New York yester? day, but echoes of it are ringing In the ears of Washington. It happened in this way: The Associated Press is di? vided into the Eastern, the .Western and the Southern divisions. The Southern division was presided over at the New Yor.k meeting by Col. Stahlman, of the Nashville Banner. "I take great pleasure in announc? ing to the Southern members of the Associated Press," began Col. Stahl? man soon after the meeting opened, "that we have in our midst a man who is worthy to occupy the seat of Calhoun, of McDufHe and Preston. What is the will of the assembly?** "I move sir,rr spoke up the one who, out of a dozen clamoring for recognition, gained the ?Moor, "that It Is the sense of the Southern division of the Associated Press that Lieut. |Col. James Calvin Hemphill, editor of I the Charleston News and Courier, I should occupy the exalted seat afore i said and that it be the great pleasure of all newspapers belonging to the Associated Press to promote the Hemphill boom."" "All in favor, say aye,* said the chairman. With one accord, with one voice and a ringing cheer from every throat went up "aye." "So ordered," declared the chair? man above the din. The major is in Washington today to get the hang of things. He bought his ticket to Washington this time ?one fare for the round trip. This morning he went over to have it ex tended. No trouble at all. The clerk was very obliging. All delegates to the negro Baptist convention, he said, are entitled to have their tickets extend? ed. And the Joke is on the editor of the News and Courier. He did not know that the reason he was able to buy a reduced ticket to Washington was because of this convention.?The State.

LATTA'S SCHOOL BURNED. Ix)-s Will Reach $4,000, With Insur? ance ol' $2,300?Fire Discovered at Noon Hour. I>atta, Sept. 27.?Thursday at 12 o'clock the graded school building was totally destroyed by fire with a loss of $4,000 or more, covered With $2,300 insurance on the building and furniture. Fortunately the Are was discovered while all the children were out of the building during the noon hour and all escaped injury. If the fire had happened a few months later it would not have fallen so heavily on the town, for they have already voted and sold $15,000 worth of bonds to build a modern school. It Is supposed that a spark passing out of a flue lodged on top of the building and was kindled by the wind into a blaze. The fire was on top of the building and with the wind to aid it made rapid headway. In less than 40 minutes the building and most of its equipments were ashes. THE STANDARD INVESTIGATION. Further Strange Figures are shown in the Transactions of the Great Oil Octopus. New York, Sept. 27.?The Standard investigation has developed that there are credited to the operating expense on the books of the Southern Pipe Line Company payments aggre? gating four million yearly. All of the Standard oil is transmitted through pipe lines named trainers, but Comptroller George Chesbro could not explain what these entries meant and admitted that the legitimate ope? rating expenses should be less than four hundred thousand yearly. Also, it was shown that the Buckeye Pipe Line Company's cost exceeded nine million in 1906, and its earnings ex? ceeded eleven millions, and it de? posited all its surplus funds with the National Transit Company. MORE STARTLING EVIDENCE. New York, Sept. 26.?Attorney Kel? logg in the government's suit to dis? solve the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey today showed that in 1906 the Standard built pumping sta? tions right on the New J.rsey line in Pennsylvania and New York and In Maryland right at the Delaware line and under the new law published rates to those points as points of de? livery where various delivered their oil to i'aim any Of New Jei
