J. w. ROUSE SHOT R1 BV ANGUS BRABHAM. M< Brunson. Sept. 27.?J. VY. R<>u-e, ' superintendent of education of Hampton county, was shot and seriously wounded about H o'clock this morning: by Angus M. Brabham. The 'Ct -hooting, which occurred at the town c,'! council chamber, grew out of a dispute *? over business matters between the two men. Mr. Rouse was hurried to a hos- *n< pital in Augusta for treatment. /'iX. lt( th men are prominent citizens of tel Brunson. !t seems the men and casually at * '' tnc town well, under the town bill Hour* had been to the postoffic* and *'v was on his way back just before he 1 was to leave town for Hampton to f attend to his official duties when he spoke to Brabham about a certain mortgage that Brabham held against he estate of the late Julius P. You- >'n mans, of which Mr. Rouse is the administratrix. It seems that one word brought on another, the men using *. epithets, until Rouse either struck or 1 struck at Brabham with his fist when Brabham julled a pistol and fired one !'e shot into the abdomen. Rouse was In in his shirt sleeves and is said u to have been unarmed. JM< As far as is known, there existed . no bad blood between the men, and '' the occurrence is greatly regretted. The men are probably about the same age .about 45, Rouse livink with his mother and sister, Mrs. Ella Youmans, *? and Brabham having a family. Brabham is at his home, where it ca wak lio is nrnstrntp/i ?nfTi?rin?ir from fever and shock, and is too ill to be moved. ' "OAKLAND dc ar Oakland, Sept. 28.?For once in the history of our State we can say it is doing its best to rid from within her borders that despicable curse )e (whiskey) which has wrecked hun- . dreds, yea, thousands of homes, and In carried many a soul to an endless hell. so It has caused multitudes of mothers and their children to go half clad, no shoes and hardly enough bread to sustain life. It hsa been the cause of ^h many a man losing his home and, jjC worse still, brighting his character Sp forever. Then, why can a man who so is in the very clutches of this most detestible drink and who never for ar once tries to reform, criticise and ,jc curse a majority of the people who ea have said by their ballot that they are going to try and vindicate the motives jn and the characters of the masses of ti< people who will not make a move to j,]. that end themselves? And, further- be more, any man who voted a prohibition ticket, hoping that by its effect w] - -it_jwoul.'h. bring about prohibition and th speculating that it would be the means ta of his own personal pain in the liquor in traffic, is none too pood to be run al through a guano factory and then pi scattered to the four winds. ^ Very often me hear it argued that Tl there never can he any such thing as st prohibition; that it doesn't prohibit, th and that you can't stop them from ri making it, and that liquor was here sp when my great-great-grandfather lived upon this earth and so on down hi until the present time, and it is here pi still and it is going to stay here, and n< all such bosh as this. But here, my hi friends, listen, are we to continue in us .-in just because our old grand daddies hi drank booze? There must he a first pi attempt to begin a thing before i tis completed. Then why not let that ol first start oe now. King David did w not build the t< mple himself. He y< merely had thf material got out for n< its construction and then his son was p< to build it and this is the very same w way this prohibition problem has got 1? to be dealt with. The material for he- y< -inning the work is being prepared tl and the future generations must com- hi plete it. to Oakland school opened its doors on ft 'he 13th for the new school term with di two teachers in charge. They are ej Mrs. L. O. Tlelue of this place an-1 h< Miss Alma Cheatham of Greenwood, w The new additional part which has : en huilt adds very much to the ap- ri r.carance of the school building. For di the benefit of the advanced scholais s< the fth anil 10th grades have been at added to the school. This school is In now ranked as being one of the fore- e; most rural schools in the county. t>n last Friday afternoon at 3 ir o'clock the Oakland School Improve- ft merit association met at the school y< house and after the minor affairs of is the association was attended to the w -ubject was immediately brought be- y< 'ore the body, requesting that the work begin at an early date for beau- tl tifying the school grounds.

Maxwell, Sr., was one of the most thusiastic leaders in the work. After a few years the order began decline and continued to do so for vi ral years. The assessments heme higher and higher until the oldmembers of the order were unable continue their membership. At one < me the assessments amounted to out $10 each month per thousand liars.

COTTON ANTHRACNOSE. i Reports received thus far indicate at cotton anthracnose, the fungus 11 rot of cotton, is even more widetread and more destructive this sean than heretofore. During the past ;e years the disease has caused an inual loss of more than a million liars in South Carolina. The disise seems to be becoming more deructive from year to year and this spite of the fact that the investigains conducted at the South Carolina cperiment Station show that it can prevented. We have found that the fungus hich causes anthracnose grows into e inside of the diseased bolls, at- * cks the lint and seed, and grows to the seed. The fungus remains ive in such seed until they are anted and germinate and start to ow, then it attacks the seedlings, tie disease remains alive on these alks and attacks the bolls when ey appear. In this way it is car ed in the seed and continues to read from year to year. A study of the history of the out eaks in South Carolina during the ist four years shows that in very sarly every case the disease was ought to the farm in the seed, and dually in seed of some supposedly ghly improved variety which was jrchased at a high price. There is no way of curing a stalk cotton after it is once diseased ith anthracnose. The only thing that 3U can do is to protect your cotton sxt year. The first and most imsrtant step in this is to secure seed hich are free from disease. It is ?st to secure your seed for next L-ar's planting from a field where lere is no disease. If it is not possile to do this, the next best thing > do is to pick your cotton for seed 0111 stalks which show no signs of isease and which are not near disised stalks. It is not safe to pick althy looking bolls from stalks hich have rotten bolls on them. We have been able to get entirely d of anthracnose in three badlyeased varieties of cotton simply by deeting our seed from healthy stalks id then planting these seed the foliwing season land on which the disise had not occurred. We find that the disease will remain i uie land or in ine oki diseased :alks and bolls for as long as one car, but not longer than this. So it necessary ot practice rotation which ill leave cotton ofT the land for one ea r. It is advisable to rotate crops for lis and other reasons, but where it is npossible to do this anil your cotton diseased, the next best thing to do is > plow under the diseased stalks as >on as the cotton is 'picked in the ill. Where we have followed this ractice and used seed the following ;ason which were free from disease, e have had very little anthracnose. In conclusion then 1 would say not ? buy cotton seed from any one unss they arc willing to make affidavit lat it is free from anthracnose. Sect your own seed from fields where lere is no disease or from healthy alks in a diseased field, fiin this cot>n in a gin that has been thoroughly eaneri. Practice a rotation. Plow >c old diseased stalks and bolls under s early in the fall as possible. II. W. Rnrrc, Professor Botany Clemson College.

[f you knew you were going to die tonight, How would you spend today? IVould you endeavor some wrongs to right. Or waste it in idle play? Would you foolishly murmur, and fret, and frown? Would you look on the world with lustful eye? With a cap and bells would you play the clown ? Would you eat and drink till the end drew nigh? Would you hoard your wealth like a miser, cold? Would you lie and cheat, in your greed for gain ? Would you sell your soul for a piece of gold? Would you scorn the poor in their want and pain? Would you slander some brother, whose upright life Had won him a place in the halls of fame ? Would you gossip and tattle and stir up strife? Would you filch from your neighbor his honest name? Would you gamble and brawl, and curse and fight? Consider and earnestly pray; If you knew you were going to die tonight, ? How would you nend today? ?J. Frederick Bishop. FAMOUS SINGER IS DEAD. Spaprtanburg, Sept. 25.?Miss Miltired Potter, a young concert singer, tlied Friday night in New York, according to a telegram from her mother received here today by Edmon Harris, director of the Spartanburg Music Festival, in which Miss Potter was the featured star the past two seasons. Miss Potter's voice had won for her a wide popularity, especially in the South and West. She was born in St. Paul, Minn. Those who travel at a rapid pace are hurrying the footsteps of Father Time.

Husband Came to Rescue* U* r ? ^ Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four j years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, 1 could only sit up for a little ( while, and could not walk anywhere at k all.
