a White Man Hanged.

At New Berne, N. c., a murder case
Embracing many interesting and un-
usual features came to tragic end
Friday with the execution Of Chris
Dixon Friday. Godfrey Weber, a
substantial farmer was shot from
ambush near his home, Nov. %, 1901.
He lived only a few hours, and while
dying expressed the belief that Dixon
was the assassin. Dixon was tried and
convicted OF the crime, the strongest
evidence against him being that two
pages OF magazine was used as a gun
wad and copy Of the same magazine
found in Dixon's house had these two
pages missing. After being sentenc-
ed Dixon broke jail and escaped. He
was rearrested last October near
Chesterfield, S. c., after enjoying two
years freedom. The widow of the
man be murdered had become bis wife
and was living with him. Dixon's
crime according to the testimony at
the trial was prompted by Jealousy.
Di1,n and the girl who afterwards
married Weber were sweethearts be-
fore Weber appeared as suitor. The
latter being man Of some means she
discarded Dixon and married Weber.

No Toy Pistols This Year.

Few people realize that it is against
the law for shopkeepers CT other per-
sons to give away or sell toy cap
pistols OF caps for the juvenile Wea-
pons. The general assembly passed
an act at it's last session prohibiting
the sale Of toy pistols because OF the
fact that so many deaths had occurred
from their use but they are now being
offered in many Of the stores Of heclty.
The act states that 1T shall be un-
lawful for any person, firm or corpora
tion in this State to sell, put up for
sale or offer for sale OF give away any
toy pistol in which caps or cartridges
are used OF any caps or cartridges for
such toy pistols" The maximum pen
atty is s1OO for each conviction.

A dispatch from Spartanburg to
The State says John Godfrey, a young
white man, was accidently shot while
out hunting by white man named
Greer Thursday, and as result the
wounded man died at 10 O'Clock that

accidental means the breech-loading
gun of Greer was discharged, the ell
tire load, an ounce Of No. shot, TAX

Perry Arrested Again.

A dispatch from Spartanburg to
The State says Ben F. Perry, son OF
ex-Gov. B. F. Perry, was arrested
here wednesday evening by State
Constables Eubanks and Drake OF the
premises Of G. o. Davis on Lee street.
Several gallons of whisKey were also
seized. There was a disturbance be-
tween Perry and the contables during
which pistol was discharged by one
Of the officers, but no one was hit.
After being arrested aid carried to
the station house Perry gave bond 10
the sum Of $500. He stated that be
carried with him to his boarding
house on Lee street Thursday night
four and half gallons Of whiskey,
the limit the law allows, and that be
offered none for sale since then. The
constables on the other hand state
that there was found six and a half
gallons Of whiskey belonging to him
at the boarding house where he
stopped. There is not the slightest
suspicion as to Mr.. Davis selling or
having anything to do with the illicit
traffic Of WhiSkey.

An Afflicted Family.

A dispatch from Pic:Sens to The
State says Miss Pauline Mcdaniel, a
daughter of Sheriff ]. H. G. McDan-
iel, died Thursday night. She had
been i'll for some time Of typhoid
fever. She has gradually grown worse
since the death Of her mother, which
occurred about three weeks ago. This
caused a shock from which Miss Nc
Daniel never recovered. The remains
will be inferred this afternoon at Sc
coma Baptist church, of which she
was devoted member. She was also
valued member Of the local chapter
of the Daughters Of the Confederacy.
Three deaths have occurred in this
family in about a months time. The
sympathy Of tine entire community
goes out to the sorely bereaved family.

Justice Done.

At Tuskegee, Ala, Ralph Arm
strong was convicted Friday OF the
murder Of his cousin, Miss Allie Arm
strong, and sentenced to be hanged
Jan. s. The case will be appealed.
Armstrong shot his cousin, with whom
be was in love, Oct. %. in Natasulga,
Ala. The defense attempted to show
that Armstrong was irresponsible by
reason Of excessive drinking. The
State proved that Armstrong, the
day before the murder, wrote a note
to his mother announcing his inten-
ton Of killing bis counsin and him
self. Armstrong is son OF the late
H. Clay Armstrong, once United
States consul to Rio Janerio, and
twice speaker Of the Alabama house
of representatives,

purpose Of devising ways and means
of bringing to our State a desirable
class OF immigrants, provision was
made for an executive com mittee to
consist Of one member from each coun-
ty Of the State and one from each
commercial body; the chairman Of
that committee to appoint at his lels-
ure a member Of the committee from
each county and such commercial
body as was not represented at the
convention. I regret to say that
vour county was one Of the few which
had no delegates and my purpose 10
addressing this communication to ycu
is to ask that you suggest the name OF
suitable citizen whom may appoint
To that place. It is needless for me
to say that there is no politics in this
matter and we want man who Will
take an interest in the objects and
purposes of our organization and VINO
is willing to give some Of his ability,
time and attention to the duties OF
the position and who is willing to de-
frav his own expenses in attending
meetings, etc. I would ask you to dc
me the further favor Of informing me
whether or not there is commercial
ar civic organization in your county.
and if so. the name Of the secretary.
Please kindly give this matter your
attention as I wish to call the com
mittee together at the earliest practi-
cable day.

BOTH CUT OFF.
The Serious Accident Which Befell
a Cotton Mill Operative.

The Spartanburg Herald says on
day last week while engaged at hi
work in the carding room of the Glen
dale mills, Mr.. James Francis an
operative received injuries which
cost him both Of his hands.
The unfortunate young man was
attending to his duties and was using
a yard stick in directing the cotton
material to it's proper place to 90
through the carding machinery. The
stick dropped and MI. Francis reach
ed for it. Instantly his hand was
caught in the machinery and fearfully
lacerated. In. his agony and fright
be reached his other hand down to
extricate himself, and this member be-
came entangled in. the machinery.
Before help reached him and he
was taken from his perilous position,
Mr.. Francis's two hands were literally
stripped Of all flesh by the merciless,
rapid grinding Of the machinery.
Medical aid was summoned. DIS. G..
R. Dean and &. ". Heinish visited
the wounded man, and at once decid-
ed that his HAMS must be amputated.
The operation was skillfully perform
ed by these physicsans, assisted hy
DR.. T. D. Hairston.
The accident is a terrible blow to
this young man, who had just fairly
begun the struggle Of life, a young
wife is dependent on him and his de-
privation of the natural means fol-
making living renders the prospects fo1
the future anything but bright OF
encouraging. The sympathy Of many
goes out to Mr.. Francis.

The Foil Weey,l,Pest

A dispatch from New Orleans says
special session Of the Louisiana leg
islature will be held in December to
pass legislation which it is hoped will
keep the boil weevil out Of Louisiana.
Gov. Heard made the announcement
of bis intention to the boil weeVil con-
vention. He said he was fully alive to
the dangers of the threatened invasion
of the weevil and that be had been as
sured that the State would have the
hearty cooperation Of the agricultural
department at Washington in the
effort to keep the pest out of the
State. The boil weeril convention
was addressed by a number or plant
ers, merchants and oil men, and also
heard Vice President Miller Of the
Audubon association on the relation
Of birds to the boil weevil. The con-
vention decided to ask for the enforce.
ment of laws for the preservation of
the birds of the State, as an aid in the
destruction Of the Weevil.

GETS THIRTY YEARS
In the Penitentiary for Killing His
Three Little Children.

DR.. Jay. the triple murderer, who
was recently tried ao Asheville, n. c.,
was found guilty Of murder in the
second degree and was sentenced to 80
years in the States prison at hard
labor. Or. jays crime was one of
the most horrible in the history of
the State. On the morning of Octo-
Der Is last, while apparently in a rage,
he killed his three young children
with a claw-hammer, at their home
at Barnardsville, Buncombe county.
The mother Of the children, becom-
ing frightened at the action Of her
husband, rushed to q neighbor's for
aid.
While she was away Jay killed the
children, one by one, taking the
youngest, a babe hardly able to talk,
in his arms and crushing its skull
With hammer. AS soon as neighbors
could be summoned Jay was taken in
custody and hurried to jail at AShe-
vile. The community was very much
wrought up over tne crime, anu Gnele
have been threats Of lynching should
the murderer escape the death penal
ty.
The plea Of the prisoner was in
sanity, and a number OF witnesses
were introduced during the trial to
to establish this contention. The
tinno oP the conrt Yesterday was taken
up with argument, the case going to
the jury late Wednesday afternoon.
At 10 o'clock Wednesday night the
jury retired, having failed to reach a
verdict. The verdict was not a sur
prise, as it was predicted Wednesday
that the jury would reach such an
agreement. DR.. Jay is about so years
of age. He has been married seven
years and his wife is but little over
20. The ages Of the murdered child
rem ranged from one to six years.

Babe in the Woods.

Near Greensboro, n. c., Emily
Schoffner, a three-year-old girl, who
was lost in a forest for three days,
was found half frozen and half starved.
After being revived she pluckily told
Of her adventure. Last Friday morn
ing week Phillip Shofuer, a farmer,
started to market, and the child fol-
lowed the wagon. Her parents did
not know this, and the child got lost
in the forest. That night a search
ing party secured the country and
the girl was found in thicket
cuddled up under tree. The baby
told an intelligent story Of her adven-
ture, saying she had been walking in
a pine thicket calling for mama and
papa, and when she could not find
them or the big road" she went to
sleep. She had been walking, she
said, when she was not sleeping. 1t
is remarkable that the child did not
freeze to death, as the weather has
been bitterly cold, and she was bare
footed and wore only summer clothes.

IHE SHORT COTTON CROP
Causes Great Excitement and Alarm
Among the English Mills.

Dispatches from London says the
rise in cotton caused intense excitement
in Manchester and Liverpool Friday.
American cotton advanced % to A
points over Thursday's.closing prices.
Il is said locallyLthatuif thei official
crop estimate of the United States
department of agriculture made pub
lie Thursday is correct it means a
terrible calamity for Lancashire.
The cotton trade is divided in opin-
ion, one section contending that the
demand for cotton goods, because Of
the falling off Of orders from India
and China, is not likely to be excep-
tionally great during the coming year
and that 10, 100000 bales, as estimat-
ed by the American agricultural de-
partmeDt, will be sufficient to meet
all requirements.
One Of the largest firms Of cotton
spinners at Bradford announce that
they are preparing to erect mills in
the United States, to which they will
transfer hundreds Of looms, with their
complement Of combing, drawing and
spinnig machinery the dismounting Of
which has already commenced. In
making the announcement the firm
says:
THE American manufacture and
dyeing of the finest classes Of goods,
similar to those we produce, on which
we are paying 100 per cent. and up
wards in dury, is the reason that we
are confident our present American
department will not be able to pay its
way more ttan three or four years
more at the most"
All the English morning pa
pers print editorials concerning the
serious effect which the cotton short
age in the United States will have on
the Lancashire trade and the dangers
arising from the fact that one market
is able to control the price Of raw cot
ton. The belief is generally held that
the United States department. Of agri-
culture undereStimated the crop, but
the editors avail themselves Of the
crisis to point cut the necessity OF
using the utmost e1ertions to foster
the cultivation Of cotton In the Brit
ish colonies so as to,broaden. the area
of supply.
In Manchester less excitement was
manifested than in Liverpool, mainly
because it is believed that the crop
will ultimately prove to yield 1l,000,-
900 bales. Manufacturers and spin
ners, therefore, are prepared to hold
out for later reports Of the crop. Lead
ers in the trade also point out that
the present crop is likely to be good
one, while last years crop was not
seriously bad, and as a result there
will be less waste,

Suicidal Mania.
