Astonishing Developments in a
Bale of Cotton at Pelzer.
Eor Greenville News.

Williamson, S. c., Nov. 21--.
one of Adams black sons, Will
Eiardy by name and farmer by
occupation, induced by the ex-
rceedlngly low price of cotton and
Aard times generally, concluded
Sas he was helping to gin n bale
~9f his own cotton at Frank Dav-
"enport's gin in GreenviIle county
one morning before daylight last
week, that he would add n few
pounds to the weight of his bale
10y dropping rock lin the press
eoccasionIy, and SO he proceeded
TO execute this plan, with the re
suit that when his little bale of
cotton was suspended upon the
'company's scales at PeIzer Cotton
huyer Blake was astonished to
see that the beam was tipped at
the SO figure. Naturally sus-
pecting that there WAS something
@eavier than cotton in the bagging
Mr.. Blake ordered the bale un-
hooped and A. p. Long, chief of
0elice, ordered Clardy to keep
Yuiet and watch the investigation,
~rbich only lasted a few minutes
when $50 pounds of rocks were
separated from the cotton. The
largest one weighed 1875 pounds.
Mr. Long, after pausing a few
aninutes, came to the conclusion
that any man who would enchance
the value of flint rocks from moth
ing to 4s cents per pound would
do to take along, and he accord
aagty invested his man with Brace
aets and escorted him to Anderson
Jail. Will did not confess his
crime but only said, "it's de
sstrangest thing l ever seed how
'aem rocks got into dat bale of cot
;ton."

HUGHES. STRANGE WILL.
Left a Third Of His Estate
to the Wife Wh9 Killed
Him.
GrccnVilic News.

The will Of the late George w.
Hughes, the Greers merchant who
died last Saturday night from the
effects of a pistol shot wound in
tilcteI by his wife on the NIGHT
before, was probated here veStcr-
day. The alleged murdcrcss IS
made heir of one third of the
estate and the only son, Leo
Hughes, is given two.thirds. The
document is dated the night Of
the shooting and is witnessed bv
d. Balhari Simpson, W. +.
Walker and j. l.. Carman. Mr..
Carman was also a n ember of the
coroner's jury that said Mrs.
Hughes was guilty of wilful
murder in killing her husband.
The will was evidently hastily
drawn as it contains a number of
clerical errors.
The estate is valued at S4,4
with about 81, 200 of debts to be
paid out of this. In addition to
this there is an insurance policy
for 81, 600 to be divided equally
between the wife and the child.
In the second paragraph of the
will the testator speaks of the
alleged murderess as his "be-
loved" wife. In the fourth
paragraph this endearing term
was reneated but was aftevward
stricken ont, -.
1t was reported from Greers
yesterday that on Saturday morn
ing just before Mrs. Hughes de-
parted with Deputy Sheriff Gil
reath to come to GreenvilIe to
jail she went through the pockets
of her dying husband and got 81
or IS in silver. This was while
the operation was being performed
to find the direction o4 the bullet
she had fired into his body When
she arrived at the Jail here she
had SIG on her person. Ali but
a few dollars of this was in bills.
