CLUBS VS. FENCE RAILS. The little town of Vera Cruz, six miles east of Bluffton, had considerable excitement Saturday night and Sunday, due to a rough and tumble fight in which two well known citizens Bert Shank and John Sherry, engaged. The various Vera Cruz citizens asked about the affair seemed reluctant to give details, but from what can be learned It seems that the two had some old til feeling toward each other and this broke out Saturday night in fisticuffs. The Saturday night encounter ended without serious results, but it is reported that on Sunday morning Sherry called up Shank by telephone and said he was ready to finish their little account in fisticuffs, and shortly thereafter they met on the streets and went at it again. There are variously colored reports, and one account says that the two men finally went after each other with clubs and fence rails. Where the trouble might have ended is hard to say, had not friends of each combatant taken a hand, and finally got the men separated and kept them apart. It is said there was some severe punishment administered, but no serious injuries indicted. One report says that a knife was flashed at one stage of the encounter. There had been no arrests yet today,-and it remains to be seen if affidavits will be filed. —Bluffton News.

COST OF SHOE MATERIALS Has Been Heavily Increased In the Last Five Years. In the five years from 1994 to 1909 there was a very heavy increase In the cost of materials used tn shoe manufacturing. In 1904, as shown by the census figures, the cost of shoe materials was $197,363,000. In 1909 these materials had risen to $277,468,000, or an increase of $80,105,000, or 41 per cent. These figures, while only issued by the government at a comparatively recent date, are now three years old, and during these past three years the cost of shoe materials has advanced still more rapidly, it being computed that the average Increase in the cost of the uppers and soles of shoes during the past three years has been about 12 per cent per year. The cost of every form of shoe materials outside of leather has advanced, though of course, the principal item of increased cost is the leather. There appears to be quite a general disposition on the part of the public to blame all forms of the increasing cost of living to trusts, but so far as the Increasing cost of shoes is concerned such a conclusion would not be justifiable. Leather supplies are short and increasingly high in price because less cattle are being raised and killed in proportion to the population. There are actually less cattle on the hoof, while the population 'is increasing. This makes meat high, while at the same time, giving a short supply .of hides from which to make leather for shoes for an increasing population.

From this decreasing supply of leather is taken the leather for automobles, for furniture, for bookbindings, clothing, saddlery, and harnesses, trunks and bags, etc., and the shoe manufacturer must enter into competition with all of these industries in a short market to' obtain leather from which to make shoes. Moreover .this condition is world wide. It is not due to the operation of any trusts or combinations. The shoe Industry is singularly free from trust control. It has over 1,300 Independent manufacturers who are engaged in open competition and their product is distributed in something over 50,000 stores. All of these are trying to serve the public as beet they can under unfavorable market conditions. Conditions so unfavorable In fact as to compel advances In the price of shoes from season to season. —Contributed.
