Murder at Piedmont.

On Tuesday night, June 3Oth, an old
negro man named Reuben ElrOd, was
slot To GeaIn at his home in Anderson
county, about one mile from Piedmont.
Old Uncle Reube was 0Orn and reared
In this settlement, and has been fa-
mlliar parsonage about Piedmont ever
since the place was founded. He was
kind, and was considered kind of in
0ifensivS man. The one bad feature
about him was that he had the reputa-
ton OF keeping lot of loose negro
women. about his place, and this, it
seems, led TO his und0ing as near as we
can gather from the evidence given at
the corOner's inquest.
1T seems that sometime on Tuesday
nlght company of men came to old
Reuben's cabin and demanded the wo-
men who were in the house. In the
Wrangie that ensued shot was fired
through the Notwithstanding Of the
house at random, but the ball struck
old Reuben in the throat, cut his jugu-
lar vein and caused his death. His
body fell on lighted lamp he held in
his hand, and he was burned some
What about the neck and shoulders.
Ihe two negro women who were in the
house claim that they were badly
beaten with sticks and ordered to leave
the country. The women were eyi-
IDENTIFY cowed, and could not 9. would
not swear to the identity of any of the
a.sailants. The verdict Of the inquest
was, in brief, that Reuben Elrod came
to his death by gun shot wound from
the hands of parties unknown. There
wP> but one shot fred, and close in
ye-tigatiOD failed to discover but one
bullet hole in the body, which was in
the place already stated.
:. le general impression about town
may be summed up in the following:
A party of men, becoming disgusted
with the character of ElrOd's house.
went out there for the purpose of
whipping the women and running them
out of the community; and that the
shot. was fired with thy intention Of
soaring old Reuben and not for the
purpose of doing him mortal harm.
The result was the tragedy as portray
ed above. 1t is n case of men becom-
ing lawless for the sake of punishing
law breakers.
The participatOrs in the crime must
have been few in numbers, as the affair
did not attract much attention until
the next morning. The locality where
it occurred is on a lonely road not
much travelled after nightfall. It is
not believed that any of the residents
OF Piedmont were in the affair, and our
people universally condemn the deed.

Coming Cotton Crop of the Country.

Baltimore, July 2.-The Manufac-
turers' Record published this week q
dispatch from it's correspondent at New
Orleans containing an interview with
w. p. Brown, the leader of the great
bull movement in cotton, in which Mr..
Brown talks as follows about cotton
prospects,:
"This is not q matter of speculation.
We are merchants Of cotton and have
been for q good many years. have

present price because it is statistically
worth it. Last fall predicted that
this crop would be about 10,75O, 900
bales, and 1t is being demonstrated
that my prediction was about right.
The requirements OF trade are very
muGh !?I more than that. Conditions eH'

As TO the new crop, it is exceeding

already strong situation, as we cappotr
expect much new cotton now until late
in September. AS to the size of the
new crop, iC is entirely too early TO
say much. though we know late crop
stiles than any early one. For in
stance, there are three things that
could make this crop failure, great
deal OF rain during the next few weeks;
or severe drought during July and
August, or an early frost. On the
other hand, If none of these things hap
pen and we have perfect conditions all

We notice in the last issue Of the
Southern Cultivator some sound ad-
vice to the farmers in general with re-
gard to the prospective scarcity Of
grain for the markets next year. II
seems that there has been serious cur
tailment of all the grain crops in the
west, the result OF the late foods.
The Cultivator is exactly right when
it warns Us Of the situation, and puts
US on notice that, to meet the impend.
ing scarcity, we had better plant
before it is too late more corn and
peas.

II there is anything especially
noticeable in Anderson just now it is
prevalence Of the spirit of advance.
There isn't business or calling in
Anderson that is not permeated
with it. The people from one end Of
the city to the other are imbued with
desire to help Anderson and de-
Termination to do their full share in
her upbuilding. On every side there
are abundant evidences of the growth
and progress Of the city. The volume
Of business is growing rapidly and the
business houses are reaching out for
more territory. The manufacturing
interests show keen appreciation of
the situation, and new enterprises are
are hsing organized and established.
The educational interests are expand
ing and improving day by day. New
buildings are going up on all sides,
new people are coming hero to take
part in the work Of upbuilding the
city, and new capital is finding it's
way into many investments here.
Our people have realized to the full
degree the splendid possibilities of
the city, and are determined to leave
no stone unturned in the work of
developing her resources and making
known to the world her unequalled
advantages. There is no factional
division, we are proud to say. The
co oncentrated effort of the community
will accomplish much, and henceforth
he business community will move as
one man through the regularly organ
ICED Chamber of Commerce. I'm.
provement is the watohword among
Andersonians. Anderson, within the
next Eve years, is to become city Of
10000 people. To that end her citi-
Eens are now working with steady
determination. And their expacta-
tions are to be realized, for combined
and energetic Efforts vii! bring all
to pass in due season.

NEW BASKETBALL RULES
Important Changes Made BY National
League Officials.

At the annual meeting held by the
National Basketball League at the
Hotel Iroquis yesterday, at Atlantic
city, sweeping changes We're made In
the constitution and bylaws and play
ing rules, the Burlington franchise
was transferred and much other busi-
ness transacted.
The methods employed by Charles s..
Reber manager OF the Burlington
team, resulted I'm the league disquali-
flying him. Reber did not put in an
appearance at the meeting. The fran
chise was put up for bids Frank Nor
genweck, of Wilmington, entered bid,
but was raised by Robert II. Dippy, a
we'll known player. The latter was
awarded the franchise.
An important change was made in
scoring, which entirely eliminates the
possibility Of scoring a goal on free
throws. The amendment reads as fol-
lows: "For every two fouls called on
the same team the opposing club is
credited on the scoreboard with a
point. No free throws are allowed
The referee when penalizing the club
calls out the teams name. not the
player, as heretofore. and then puts the
] hNlA III pay Afll AiAt HtANiAA 0AANlAa' VII
the same team the official scorer in
structs the scorekeeper to mark up one
point to the non-odending team" II
IS expected that this will do away with
considerable rough playing.
Another important change was the
playing off of the games on the same
night. If the score is tie at the end OF
the regulation forty minutes an extra
\ period of ten minutes will be played
after rest of five minutes between tn,
second and third periods, the team
having the largest number OF points al
the expiration of the game to be de-
clared the winners. If the tie still ex-
lists, the game is to be played Off on q
future date agreed on between the
teams. Several other minor changes
were made.
G. II. Kennedy, of the Fifteenth
Separate Company, Of Yonkers, made
an application TO the league. It &
probable. however. that the local or
ganization will endeavor to get MI
Kennedy to organize a New York Stat
1 League, the object of the local basket
ballers to arrange inter-league games
This may reach an amalgamation of al
professional clubs in this vicinity.

Bishop Coleman Presided and
Exercises Were of an In

Roses and daisies adorned the Girls In

celebrated in speech and song at that time.

black skirts.
Bishop Coleman presided. He offered
prayer and read a selection from the Scrip
ture. after which the school sang "The
Maidens Song" Mrs. f. II. Slack, Of Bos-
ton, sang three solos, THE Irish Love
Song" Mighty Like A Rose" and 1T
No one Ever Marries Me-"
The Bishop then made an address. He
welcomed the guests for the board OF man
ayers and the advisory board. He said;
Your interest we want maintained and
enlarged and 1t depends on this interest
that we shall be able in future to con-
tinue In our work and improvements. We
have claim upon your interest and sym
pathy. A great amount Of work de-
wolves upon the managers Immediately
IN charge of this school, hence your CO.
operation ana sympathy are vitality neces-
sary. Pecunlary gifts, kindly words, pray
ers and occasional visits we would be glad
to receive from you.
THE lack OF sympathy toward our
school Is due to n lack of knowledge OF
what the school really accomplishes. This
school, by the very nature Of its work,
IS making a direct contribution to the
community at large. And as these girls
become able to live better lives they ir
turn make a direct contribution to the
community. They are doing their worl
IN cheerful, womanly manner"
Colonel f. II. Nibecker. OF Glen Milli
