Colombia. Oct. 7.?Oeo.ge R. Koee ter and D. W. Robinson, the latter a Columbia attorney, today secured a commission for the News Publishing company, capitalised at 150.000. for the purpose of publishing a dally morning newspaper, "The News" In Columbia. Mr. Koester, who started newspaper work In Charleston, was managing editor of the Columbia Register, founded the Dally Reocrd and sold that Journal a year ago to Jamas A. Hoyt, said today: "An erroneous Impression has gone out that the News Is to be the organ of the Incoming gubernatorial administration. Nothing Is further from the purpose and Intention of those connected with the new paper. It Is to be essentially a newspaper and will h? owned and controlled by business men in all sections of South Carolina, without regard to political associations or affiliations; men who believe there is a wide field in this State for a morning paper, publish? ed at Columbia, which will give the aewa as It Is, uncolored by prejudice or bias, snd whose editorials will be devoted to temperate discussions of measures. principles and politics, with degenerating Into bitter per? sonalities." Mr. Koester says a feature will be a board of control consisting of nine representative men. who will be un? der pledge to make the paper ad? here to the policy outlined. The In? itial capital was fixed at $50.000 be? cause that amount has been practi? cally all subscribed, but he says a large Increase of capital stock will be made when the paper has been or? ganised and set going.

J. S. Senders, alias J. W. Oliver, alias W. O. Jenninga, whose real name Is Wesley O. Jennings, a son of "Old Dick Jennings," formerly employed by W. P. Smith as a marble cutter In this city, a white man. was tried In the Magistrate" court on Friday on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. There were two charges against him and he plead guilty to each of them. His sentence was 30 days on the chaingang for each charge. It will be remembered that Jen? nings, representing himself as an in? surance agent, went among the ne? groes of the city aevr/al weeks ago and secured money from them on his bogus policies. He was arrested several weeka ago and has been In Jail ever since, no one having of? fered to stand his bond. In The Police Court. Two cases came up for settlement in the Recorder's court Friday, and while they were not particularly im? portant or intricate they consumed the greater portion of two hours. General Grant, a preacher doing missionary work on behalf of the colored Baptist church, swore out a warrant for Melvlnla Redlck on the charge of stealing three five dollar bills from bis pocket. From the evi? dence given by Grant, It seemed that he had met and gone home with Melvlnla. after having treated her to a supper at a restaurant down street. He afterwards found that he was In bad company and "stepped out of the window" of the house the two had gone to. Later on he found that in his hurried leaving he had left the money also. He had no evi? dence to prove his charge and, as It was shown that he did not leave Immediately after he became aware of the nature of the company he was In. the case was dismissed. Chief Bradford and the Recorder then ad? vised Melvlnla that it was best for her to leave town by the afternoon train, and if she did not it would be the worse for her. Lucius Bosaard, who had taken up? on himself the defense of Melvlnla. was advised that If he did not get to work at once, he would be cured of nteknese on the county roads, he hav? ing said that he was generally too sick to work. Rosaline Williams claimed that ' Juva Ttoblnfon stMe various garments Kile she was out of town and to help In getting the garments back she swore out a ? i*i ear rant, f< ?nn.d the clothes olalmed. and then had the said Ju? lia up for appropriating them to her own use and benefit. The evidence showed that many garments are alike, and Rosa had witnesses to swear that they were her'a, whereas Julia brought up witnesses to swear Just as firmly that they were her'e. The Recorder gave the defendant the benefit of the doubt and Roaa did not get back the clothes alleged to have been stolen. Boys Gather Their Com. Mr. S. D. Cain, county superintend? ent of education, was at his office Fri? day conducting the examlnationn for teachers. There were 26 applicants for teachers' certificates, 2 whites and 24 colored. Mr. Cain, in speaking of the Boys' I Corn club, said that he knew of sev? eral boys who had already gathered their prize acres of corn and that in every case the yl*ld had been entirely satisfactory. He thinks that there will be a great many contestants for the Osteen prize in this county, many of whom are eligible to and will enter the State Corn contest. It Is certain that the boy who wins the prize In this county will have to be a hustler. Mr. Cain is very anxious to have as many contestants as possible, so that an estimate of what has been done by boys all over the county can better be made. WhllS at the same time, the more contestants In the county contest will mean more In the State or National contest, It being especially desirous to maintain the enviable position that South Carolina has obtained In corn grow? ing. In order to maintain a perpetual fund for keeping up Interest In corn growing In this county, each boy to enter the contest will be required to I give one bushel of the com to the I headquarters of the contest in or.ier thai It may be sold at a good price for seed corn, the sum realized being kept to be offered In future prizes for horns bred seed earn, it is to be from thM lot of corn on the cot?.

Are Using Every Influence to Get Event. Savannuh, Ga.. Oct. 7.?Leading business men and eitjj and county officials took steps today toward cinching the grand prize automobile race for Savannah next month. Con? fident that the race can be handled here even more successfully than the Thanksgiving event of 1908, members of the Savannah Automobile club have set in motion every influence that may possibly have a bearing upon the Automobile Club of Amer? ica in Its selection of a course for the race. A strong delegation will leave for New York at noon tomorrow to meet the contest committee of the Auto? mobile Club of America Sunday af? ternoon for the purpose of entering i Into negotiations for the race. Takes Positive Action. At the meeting of the eexcutive committee of the Savannah Automo? bile club here today, positive action I was taken In favor of going after the ; race. Eevrything possible to secure it will be done. Savannah has handled the race in a manner that established a reputa? tion for this city, thus eliminating every vestige of doubt about Savan? nah's ability to meet all of the re? quirements. The new grand prize course has already been mapped out. The course will have less than half as many dan? gerous curves as the former track had, which will lessen the danger of fast driving and make it possible for the drivers to lower their records. Plans for Grandstand. Plans are alreday being made for the erection of an Immense new I grandstand. If the race comes to ! Savannah an army of carpenters will be put at work on the stand and their la^rs will go on day and night until it has been finished. i At the meeting today all of the local militia organizations were rep? resented and the question of a mili? tary patrol was discussed. The militiamen are enthusiastic over the Idea of the race being held in Savan? nah and will proivde means to guard the track adequately as before. Gov. j Brown ordered the militia to guard the track before, but it has been as? certained the militiamen are ready to guard the track for the, present race whenever called upon to do so. What is the Sumtcr Cospel Mission? Inasmuch as I have been asked by so many people what is the use of such a place, when we have so many churches, I will here -say for the benefit of our good Christian brothers that we who are connected with this mission work, are all members of the church, some Baptist and som^i Lutheran, but we see the need of a more humble line of Christian work than most of church members see. We believe that God has work for each of his children to do, and If we will but ask him to show us our duty He will give us something to do, If we will humble ourselves and go out into the highways and hedges and we will find there some that think they are not fit to go to church and very often we find some with no clothes fit to wear to church, and we have gone into homes to have prayer with good old souls and they en? joy it so much and tell us how for? saken they feel without one to lean on and talk with them about Jesus ?you know the preachers don't have time to go to this class. Oh, my brother, those folks want some one to love them. Jesus has some precious jewels that think God is mad with them and has turned his back upon them, and this is our mission to love and help our brothers and sisters, for we all have one God and Fath? er and we are all brothers and sisters, if we are bis children. But let us not rest until we are sure bis chil? dren, friends; God gave His Son to die that tlu sinner might have life. Bo, lets deny ourselves the pleasures of unrighteousness for a season that we may live with 11 im forever. Now, won't you lend a helping hand and lets work 'til Jesus comes. Bray for the work and lost souls, at least. Yours for Christ and the right life. II. W. S. 'Chamberlains' Cough Remedy has become famous for Its cures of coughs. c<dds. croup and Inftuensa.

(From Manufacturers Record, Sep? tember 29, 1910.) With a grain crop this year aggre? gating 1.000,000,000 bushels or more, with a cotton crop which will bring into the South between $900,000,000 and $1,000,000,000, with a total value of agricultural products tor this year running between $2,750,000,000 and $2,000,000,000, the ?South will have by far the largest Income ever received by it from agriculture, as? suring greater prosperity to the farm? ers of this section than they have in the past, and thus to all business in? terest dependent upon agriculture. as late as 1900 the total value of the South's agricultural products was $1.271.000,000. The output this | year will be largely more than double that. Contrast the figures of 1910 I with the total of 1890, of $773.000,-' 000, and we get a fair conception of the wonderful advance made by the agricultural interests of this section in the last twenty years. This year's cotton crop will ex? ceed by $150,000,000 to $200.000.000 the total -alue of all agricultural products of the South in 1890. This year's grain crop will exceed the total value of all its agricultural I products in 1890. Omitting the value of the cotton crop this >ear. the total value of other agricultural products will ap? proximate $1,750,000.000, or some $500,000,000 more for diversified crops than the total agricultural out? put of 1900, cotton included. Possibly the magnitude of this year's farm product values in the South will be the better grasped from the simple statement that they will exceed by at least $200,000,000 the total value of all farm crops of the United States in 1810. Surely thes are wonderful figures. They are only indicative, however, of the general advance of the South, j They give a reason for much of Its j progress in city building and indus? trial activity. With such a foundation on which I to build, with such increasing pros? perity among the farmers, It Is dlftl cult to set any limit to the possibili? ties of the growth of the South dur? ing the next ten years. It has now solved the troublesome problems that confronted its agricultural inter? ests ten years ago. It has secured the world's recognition of a profit? able price for cotton. It has found a way to diversify its agriculture to such an extent that it Is no longer compelled to make cotton Its only money crop, but it can turn its at? tention from cotton to other inter? ests to equal profit. It is entering up? on a period of increasing agricul? tural prosperity, of expansion in all business interests, of rapidity of growth of cities and of a trend of population southward such as it has never known in the past. ?Your cough annoys you.
