MR. ARD MRS. DOMINICK ARE BLESSED
WITH INTERESTING FAMILY OF TWELVE
New'berry, S. C., September 14.—(Spe
cial.)—That large families have not be
come an unknown quantity in South Car
olina is proved by Mr. and Mrs. J. Simp
eon Dominick and their twelve children.
The family live In Moon township,
near Chappells, and Mr. Dominick is the
owner of a large and valuable plantation
of 1,500 acres at that place. He has
enough to give each of his twelve chil
dren a fair start in life should they de
cide to become farmers.
Mr. Dominick is an ordained minister,
but has never been engaged in active
evangelical work, having made quite a
success of farming. However, he occa
sionally fills the pulpit In neighboring
: churches in the absence of the regular
minister. The family are Baptists, as
might be easily guessed from the names
of three of the buys—Broadus, Lamar
; and Hoyt-and are of good old Dutch
, stock.
Mrs. Dominick was before her marriage
(Miss Fannie Moore, a daughter of Lang
don Moore. She was brought up
h.y her grandmother, Mrs. Catherine
‘.Moore, daughter of Langdon Moore
’Her father Is now a citizen of Coweta
county. Georgia, to which place he moved
from Newberry county, in this state,
some twenty-live years ago. Mrs. Dom
ini.'k is bright, cheerful and handsome,
and is a woman of fine judgment and
PEONAGE MEN ABE PARDONED.
Freedom Given Them By President
Roosevelt Wednesday.
By the grace of executive clemency two
men convicted of peonage in Alabama
s me months ago walked out of the fed
eral prison eariy yesterday afternoon as
free men.
These two men were George D. and
Barancas F. Cosby, and they were ar
raigned in the federal court at Mont
gomery on June 30 last. Both plead
guilty and were sentenced to serve a
year and a day in the prison in this city.
Since that time they have been confined
>:i the big penal institution out on Me
■■ Donough road.
.' The two Cosbys, from the time of their
’ entrance into the prison, were employed
ion tiie farm, as both were familiar with
i such work.
' The prisoners were indicted originally
■for holding Pike Swanson in peonage.
They pleaded guilty at the earliest op
portunity. and this fact operated largely
ia securing their pardons. Judge Jones,
I before whom they were tried, also inter-
Gated himself in their behalf, and wrote
a personal letter to President Roosevelt,
jasklng him to free the two men.
; The Telegram from Washington.
• Washington, September 16.—The presi
dent granted pardons to’day to George D.
•■nd Barancas F. Cosby, upon the earnest
. recommendation, of Judge Jones, who sen
-1 fenced the prisoners.
In h’s letter to the president Judge
■ Jones says:
“The favorable recommendation now
made proceeds on no idea that the sen
tences were unjust, but solely from the
conviction that the punishment already’
undergone by the prisoners lias accom
plished al! the real ends of the law in
these cases.
“The prisoners have undergone the
humiliation of Imprisonment in the peni
tentiary. the sting of condemnation by
their neighbors ..ml associates, and the
wide publicity of their offense. They bate
been separated from their families and
have worn stripes. There Is no ground
for believing that they will ev. r again,
under any circumstances whatever, en
gage in like practices. They attempted
m> defense, but pleaded guilty at the
earliest opportunity. They’ were contrite
and admitted that they justly deserved
punishment. The reform of offenders
themselves, so tar ns the law contem
plates that has been completely' ef
fected by the punishment.

BOSTON WANTS DR. BROUGHTON
Clarendon Street Baptist Church Ex
tends Him Unanimous Call.
• News comes from Boston that Dr. Len
G. Broughton, pastor of the Tabernacle
‘ Baptist church of Atlanta has been called
to be the pastor of the Clarendon Street
Baptist church and president of the Gor-
I don Missionary Training school, Boston.
It has for some time been rumored
that tome strong church In the north
I | er - New- England was trying to secure
. ‘ the Tabernacle’s pastor, but this Is the
■ first time the matter has definitely taken
I i shape.
■ i This summer Dr. Broughton was sup-
I plying for the month of August the
; pulpit of the Dudley Street Baptist
• church. Bcsten. During the week days
I he attended the Moody Bible conference
lat Northfield. While engaged In this
rv ork the pulpit committee of the Clar
endon Street church had Its eye upon
him. It Is understood that they had
several interviews with Dr. Broughton,
iwhich resulted in the committee extend
ing to him a unanimous call—that Is to
say, he was informed that the com
mittee had unanimously agreed to recom
mend him to the church and the Gor
don missionary training school. This
all occurred before Dr. Broughton re
turned home from the north a few
weeks ago.
Now it Is understood that a day or
■ two ago tiic Boston church notified Dr.
: Broughton that on Tuesday night, the
I 15th, their unanimous report would be
' sutmftted to the church for ratifica
tion. The committee’s action, however,
lin itself was sufficient. It had the full
I power to act In the selection of a pas
tor. The report to the church seems
to indicate a favorable reply from Dr.
Broughton. Just what the exact word
ing of that r' Ply was cannot be learned,
| as Dr. Broughton is out of the city.
Should Dr. Broughton go to Boston he
Will m.doubt ;ly have one of the largest
fields in this country. It Is understood
that the church agrees to give aim all
the .-.distance in the way of a work
i ing fcrcc that he desires and that he
i would not ne expected to do pastoral
work, only in the way of general ilirec
' tion of the entire force The church is
J "ontrally located and is one of the larg
er st auditoriums in Boston. It la not
(known definitely what decision Dr.
| Broughton has come to, if any.

ATTENTION IS NOW DRAWN
TO SOUTH’S COTTON MILLS
THE south’s cotton mills are attract
ing the attention of the manufac
turers of cotton goods the world
over. That they can keep busy and make
money in face of the recent high prices of
raw material mystifies some of the man
ufacturers who are old in the business.
During the past year with the high
prices of cotton and the low rate for
manufactured goods they have experi
enced the busiest year In the history of
cotton mills in the sot|th.
The takings of cotton by the southern
mills have increased at such rapid rate
in the past thirteen years—from 23.3 per
cent to 50.42 per cent—that fears are
entertained that this favored section will
eventually consume the entire produc
tion of cotton.
The New York Commercial, under the
head of “The South is First in Cotton
Goods Making,” says as to the southern
cotton mill situation:
•’Consideration of the facts concerning
the disposition of the cotton crop makes
it plain that cotton goods manufacturing
in the north is dwindling with a speed
which few’ appreciate, each year show
ing greater rapidity. Thirteen years ago
the mills of the south took 23.3 of the
cotton crop consumed by American mills;
the north 76.7 per cent. In 1903. the per
centage, while not wholly reversed, shows
a change that commands attention. The
south now takes 50.42; the north 49.58.
For the first time in its history the
south leads as a maker of cotton goods.
"With the beginning of September, the
year's crop of cotton stood 10,727,559
bales, an increase of 46.879 bales over
last year. The value of the crop is $480,-
770.282. It is impossible to say just
what the southern manufacturer paid
for his cotton, because many of the mills
contracted for their supplies early; in
fact, fully 75 per cent of their purchases
were made before the increase in the
price of raw material began. At any
rate, the southern manufacturers did not
pay an exorbitant price for their portion
of the mill takings, 2,000.729 bales of
American and 9,678 actual bales of for
eign cotton, the latter mostly Egyptian.
This is equal to 13,858 American bales.
Northern mills consumed a total of
2,098.009, of which 150,374 bales were
foreign cotton.
“This truth is Interesting in view of the
situation in the southern mills as occa
sionally describt-d by men with an ax to
grind. Careful investigation seems to
show that while there has been a cur
tailment of production at some of the
mills, every bale of cotton obtainable has
in general been used. There has actually
not been enough cotton to supply the
domestic demand. High prices of raw
material and low rates for the manufac
tured product have not been without ef
fect. but the truth remains that southern
cotton manufacturers. taking the in
dustry as a whole, have just experienced
the busiest year in the history of cotton
mills south.
‘•There are 740 cotton mills on southern
territory, an increase of 404 in thirteen
years. Os these a few are. under .con
struction. Tile total number of spindles
in operation is 6,889,454. Adding idle and
incomplete spindles, a total of 8,248,275
is reached. The final figures indicate the
spindles which will be available, say Jan
uarv I. The Carolinas ar. striking ex
amples of the increase. South <'arolln.L
is adding 571.000 spindles to its total,
and North Carolina 294,000.
"A fact which should not bo lost sight
of is the statement by both manufactur
■ ers and jobbers that then., is a quality
i division by northern and southern mills;
1 that is. the majority of coarser cotton
fabrics is made by southern mills, while
the finer fabrics ’come in greatest pro
portion from the mills of New England.
Time may change these conditions, which
are the result of the lack of skilled labor
south, as well as the absence of the more
expensive machinery, but their exister
is offered as an explanation of the ex
isting quality division.
“In every southern state, except Ar
i ansas and Missouri, new mills and spin
<lles are in process of erection. Old plants
! are being enlarged. The southern cotton
industry is growing apace in ever) de- :
! tafl.”

CfflßßH DESTROYS THE KIDNEYS
Granville m. hoy, Sheridan, ind.. |
Past Grand, Independent Order of
! Odd Fellows, Lodge 691, in a recent letter (
I says:
“I suffered for years with liver com
plaint, causing me severe pains and a
peculiar weakness across the small of the
back, so that It was hard to stoop, and
sometimes very painful to walk about.
I had used So much medicine without de
riving any help that I just let it go, un
til a "neighbor was cured of Bright s dis
ease by Peruna. That led to my using
it. and before I had used ten bottles I
was cured. I consider it almost miracu
lous.”—Granville M. Hoy.

Pe-ru-na.
Hon. Louis E. Johnson, son of the late i
Reverdy Johnson, who was United States I
Senator from Maryland, also Attorney :
General under President Johnson, and U.
S. Minister to England, and was regarded
as the greatest constitutional lawyer that
ever lived. In a recent letter from 1006
I’ street, N. W., Washington, D. C., Mr.
Johnson says:
■'No one should longer stiffer from
catarrh when Peruna is accessible. Tc
my knowledge. It has caused relief to so
many of my friends and acquaintances
that ft Is humanity to commend Its use
to all persons suffering with this dis
tressing disorder of the human system.”

Hundreds of Dollars Spent In Vain.
Mr. Cyrus Hershman, Sheridan. Ind.,
writes:
“Two year* ago I* was a sick man. Ca
tarrh had settled In the pelvic organs,
making life a burden and giving me lit
tle hope of recovery. I spent hundreds
of dollars In medicine which did mo no
good. I was persuaded by a friend to
try Peruna. I took it two weeks with
out much improvement, but I kept on
with It and soon began to get well and
strong very fast. Within two months I
was cured, and have been well ever since.
J am a strong advocate of Peruna.”—
C. Hershman.
Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys,
liver and other pelvic organs, simply be
cause It cures catarrh wherever located.
No other systemic catarrh remedy has :
as yet been devised. Insist upon having |
Peruna. There are no medicines that can
be substituted.
The claim of Peruna to being the stand
ard catarrh remedy of the world is based
upon the following facts:
It has the endorsement of innumerable
hospitals.
A great number of physicians.
Over fifty United States congressmen
and senator.’.
Tens of thousands of the masses and
I classes.
j Peruna Is not a cure-all. It cures just
j one disease—catarrh. It cures catarrh
I wherever located.
It cures catarrh of whatever kind. It
cures catarrh In whatever stage or phase
I* Mr. Geo. King, Deputy Sheriff of Rensellaer Co., N. Y., for years was a well- ,

■ Into Bright’s Disease, and after you have gone through the suffering
that I have with catarrh of the bladder and kidney trouble, and have I

“Peruna Is a blessing to a sick man. Eight bottles made me a

■' cannot speak too highly of it. It is now four years since I was trou- j
