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.

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.

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.

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.” TO BORROW MONEY ON COTTON. Movement To Help the Cotton Grow ers of the South.
