beautifully and brilliantly illumined
with Japanese lanterns, and delicious
refreshments were served.
If the vacant lots on Main street
were built up with nice storo houses
) they could be rented. The Union
k Grocery Co. has bought the store
room now occupied by Mr. Samuel
Bellowitz their business has so increased
that they need more room.
There is no store house for Mr.
Samuel Bellowitz to go to. He carties
a large stock of dry goods and
notioqs, and it will take a good
size room for his stock.

Wc acknowledge with pleasure
an invitation to attend the 8th annual
4th of July picnic at Shclton
Picnic Park. We have a great desire
to be present, as we know that
the ladies and gentlemen of this
community will spare no pains to
make the occasion most enjoyable,
possessing as they do, the most
charming hospitality.
The moving of Dr. Rawls dwelling
house and that of Mr. J. B.
Porter, both on Main street across
the street from the court house and
jail to Enterprise street, makes a
wonderful change in the topography
of that part of the city. These two
houses are about the oldest in the
city, and were the land marks of
nearly three fourths of a century.
Had the law against vagrants been
properly enforced in all the towns,
that old man would not have been
assaulted by a roving negro in
Greenville, and the passions of the
people would not have been aroused
almost to the point of doing murder.
When there is demand for
labor at remunerative wages in
every city and when there is a place
for a working man on every farm,
the able-bodied man who was
whipped in Greenville was roving
the county, hungry and ready to
pillage or commit more serious
crimes. There is no place for vagrants?white
or black?in this
country except on the chaingang.
The State has said in a few words
what we have been trying to say to
the city fathers of Union for the
pant two years.?En.
The route of which The Times
spoke some weeks ago, that is the
line of railroad to be built from
Union cotton mill No. 2 to the
Sxcelsior knitting mill is now being
surveyed by Civil Engineer L. G.
Young assisted by Mr. Lafar Lipscomb.
As soon as this line is
completed the output of the knitting
mill will be shipped over the Union
and Glenn Springs railroad. We
learn that in the near future a million
dollar cotton mill will be built
on the property purchased from
Capt. J. T. Douglass by Mr. Emslie
Nicholson, for which the above
mentioned railroad is principally to
be built. We have no definite information
regarding this new cotton
mill but are told it is an assured
fact, since there is no absolute necessity
for a railroad along the route
above indicated, over which to ship
only the output of the knitting
mill.

Died Prom His Wounds.
1 Sam Hughes, the colored lx>y
who was shot by Boger Prisock
' June 11th, inst., died the 19th and
1 an inquest was held hy Coroner B. (
* F. Gregory on the 20th. The testimony
taken before the coroner and
; jury of inquest was in substance as
follows: On the day of the shoot- 1
ing, Charlie Prisock, Boger Prisock.
Sam Jeter, Casper Pool and Sam
! Hughes all met or came to a certain
part of the road near Red Hill
school house, Piny drove, Pinckncy
township, on plantation of Mr. j
Smith Wood, Sunday, June 11,
Charley Prisock said to Sam Jeter,
"Are you the man that threw the .
rock at me?" naming day and (
place. Sam Jeter said, "Yes." 1
Then Boger Prisock pulled out his j
pistol and began to shoot, saying 1
as he did so to Casper Pool to "Get j
out of the way." Sam Jeter just 1
1 at this time caught Sam Hughes by
both arms and held him in front of ;
him (Sam Jeter) while Boger J
Prisock shot five times. One ball
entered the shoulder of Sam Hughes {
and the ball ranged downward, from |
which wound Sam Hughes died on ,
1 the evening of the lbth of Juno. ^
Now the question arises, who is the
r most responsible for the death of
1 Sam Hughes, Boger Prisock who
did the shooting or Sam Jeter who
1 held Sam Hughes in front of himself
to keep the bullets from Prii
sock's pistol from hitting him, thus
, making a human breastwork out of
, a human being by an inhuman j
being. Boger Prisock is now in (
jail but Sam Jeter is at large, hid- .
ing in all probability. ;

The Average Price of Cotton
This Year.
Theodore H. Price in a circular
letter of date June 23, 1905, shows
the average condition of the crop to
be 77.2, at same timo last year it
was 88. That for a 10,000,000
bale crop the average price would
be 15.52, for a 11,000,000 bale
crop 11.97, 12,000,000 bale crop
9.
It seems probable that a lasting
peace ociween itussia and Japan
and the increase in the world's gold
production arc conjointly likely to
work the most extraordinary expansion
ever witnessed in the cotton
trade.
In regard to the Russo-Japanese
peace, I wrote on August 13, 1901,
is follows:
"Just as the outbreak of hostilities
between Russia and Japan
proved the death knell of a wild
'peculation, so I l>elieve the end of
this struggle will l>c an epoch-making
event in the world's commercial
md industrial history. The triumph
of Japan, in my opinion,
means more to the world's industrial
progress than any event since
the rcsnmption of specie payment
n the United States in 1879. It
means the Americanization of
2hina and the opening up to west;m
commerce of a territory hithcrx>
industrially unexplored, the
purchasing power of whoso dense
population Will be almost illimitable
when educated by western
methods."
I have in a previous circular
lealt quite fully with the relation
between the world's gold production
md the price of cotton, and I canlot
now do better than to enclose
vith this a partial report of an adIrcss
recently delivered by Dean
Johnson, of the University of New
jfork, before the Pennsylvania
Hankers' Association upon the
same subject.
From it I quote a few paragraphs
is follows:
"When we consider that during
the first fifty years of the nineteenth
century, the total output of both
?old and silver was less than 82,J00,000,000,
while the output of
gold alone in that period was only
8800,000,000, or about 816,000,000
per annum, whereas in the last
Fourteen years the output of gold
has amounted to nearly three and
one-half billion dollars, it is not
surprising that very grave questions
arise in th^' minds of thoughtful
men with'regard to the effect upon
human welfare which changes in
the amount of gold will exert.
Let us suppose that the banking
reserves of the country are increased
850,000,000 by the deposits of
miners. This 850,000,000 may be
made the basis for an expansion of
bank credit to the amount of 8200,000,000
or even $300,000,(XX), and
the Injrrowers of this credit will buy
goods and labour. Thus, this new
gold in the form of currency or
credit will sooner or later increase
the demand for various goods and
so cause their prices to rise.
The uneven uplift of prices has a
remarkable psychological effect.
As a result of a steady upward
tendency of prices and of the consequent
increase of what may be
called the money wealth and the
money profits of business and industry,
men are eager to extend
Lt_ a'
uiuir operations. iSewcomers rush
into industry aDd business from the
professional and other fields. How
long the industrial body can stand
the effect of this money intoxicant
gradually administered, experience
done can decide. Both reason and
experience unite in leaving us to
expect that the end of the Japanese
xnd Russian War will lie followed
by a release of credit, another upward
shoot of prices, and a demand
'or capital that will bring large
lividends to hankers all over the
gold-using world."
There is today no weight of spot
eotton anywhere in the world, and
*s' the supply is decreasing at tho
rate of 100,000 hales a wock, there
can lie none until September.
Meantime, a feeble cotton plant
insufficiently fertilized and poorly
Cultivated has to contend with
probable drought, flood and boll
weevil from now until its maturity.
