CHANDLER CLOTHING COMPANY Phone 166. : Svumter. S. C. The President'? Message. There Is nothing startling or sen? sational In President Taft s 30,000 word message to Congress. It is, as u 01 jrvey of I .?? v* ? : d reads Bjoj ut.Iii..- the annual report of a co ?holders. sAd gu '^udei ?v in not find particularly Interesting reading, but neither will he find It superficial or perfunctory. It Is the serious report of a President who seriously conceives of his duties as administrative rather | than political. The political note, to be sure, Is not entirely lacking, for the President is anxious to Justify himself and his party on a number of questions like the tariff and con? servation; but In the main the mes? sage Is a vast improvement on the personal and political broadsides of his late predecessor. As a matter of official record for the official flies 30,000 words may not be too many for such a message, but If the Con? gressional or lay mind Is to be reach? ed the value of any message Increases Inversely with its length, and certain? ly many of Mr. Taft's lengthy sum? maries could well have been left to the departmental reports.?Baltimore Sun.

Cotton Buyers Hot After Buyers and Sellers of I.li t Cotton. There, were three cases to come up before Recorder Lee on Monday two of which were speedily settled, but the third took up the greater part of an hour before it was finally ad? justed and the sentence passed. Friday Kershaw, colored, was charged with leaving a horse unhitch? ed on the street. He plead guilty and was sentenced to pay a fine of $1.00 or serve two days. S. H. Revel, white, plead guilty to the charge of riding a bicycle on a forbidden sidewalk and contributed $1.00 to the city treasury. G. W. Scott, white, was up on the charge of selling lint cotton without a license. He and his 'wife were both present in the court and his wife did most of the talking. He plead guilty but there were several witnesses pres? ent who were called upon and ques? tioned in order that it might be found who were doing the selling and as to how they got the cotton 'which they sold. The cotton buyers who were pushing the case were all present and showed that they were in dead earnest about prosecuting those who had been stealing cotton from them. The witnesses were all negroes and they told various tales of how they got their cotton and whom they got it from. Several of them confessed when they fund that nothing would be done to them if they told the truth that they had picked it up around the platform. It semes that the cotton buyers have been much troubled by persons pulling cotton from the cot? ton bales left on the cotton platform and they have decided to put up with it no longer but to do something to prevent persons from buying the cot? ton from the negroes and at the same time to have the negroes brought to punishment whenever they are caught. The negroes who 'were brought up for selling the cotton this season to Mr. and Mrs. Scott were: Charlie Lawson, Ed Bossard, Samuel Cantey, Samuel White, Gecrge Richardson, Francis Taylor. There were several more who had sold the lint cotton, but they were not called i'pon to testi? fy in the case. The Recrder sentenced t ie offend? ers to pay a fine of $50 and to pur? chase a license which would cost them $50 more, making the total sen? tence flOO. The fine v\as paid, but with much grumbling on the part of Mrs. Scott, who said that there were Hevernl others buying the lint cotton Without a license, but whose names she 'would not or could not give to the Recrder. Thomas Hunter, a Spartanburg ne? gro, has been arrested for boiling cat t<> death for the purpose of ob (.lining a good luck bone from th animal to work spells n his enemies.
