A KILLING At TAM0

TENANT.
Jcres Loaded Up on "8usthead" Wai5

GOCIO SURRENDERS 70 SHERIFF

Last night, in the general merehan-
disc store at Tamo. Joe Gs"io shot
and instantly killed negro named
Grif Jones Mr. Coco came tc the
city this morning To give himself UP
and was placed under bond He says
the killing was done in self defense,
and gives the following account:
Jones was a tenant on Mr.. Gocio's
place, but for some time mas rerSed
to work his crop, nreferrlng rather TO
hang around the saloon at fano aid
drink bad whisky All day yesterday
the negro drank instead of gathering
his crop notwithstanding the efforts
of MI. Gocio and others to get him
away. Last night he entered Mr.
Goclns store and demanded his ac-
count. He was told thai il would be
furni>hed him when the bookkeeper
came back and was ordered out Of
the store to avoid trouble. Jones
backed to the door and picking up one
of the heavy weights from a nearby
scale raised his arm to hurl il at his
employer. When Mr. Gocio saw the
negro about to brain him with the
weight he reached under the counter.
and pulling his pistol fired and killed

Cost OF lO,0J5-ai .ndie nsiil-Fol-
tunately we fcuad i ilflf rresi#,en Who
was building g mi!l ot ;-.s size He
kindly showed us AIS private acoou'~
giving detailed statement ot tae
cost, which amounted to total CI
$lS5 .r
The president stated that this was
a close estimate, and added that he eX-
pected the mill to cost 5000, 900 when
completed.
Nnen do earnings begin? Some
mills have declared dividends the first
year. but this is not a general rule.
A mil. needs all it's earnings the first
year to complete the plant ana to lay
up surplus. Saving up a surplus
raises the value of stock. The regular
stockholders who buy at par, and who
sell the stock at an advance, make
more money. of course, than the ones
Whc invest after the stock has gone
up.
The value of mill is not to be
judged entirely by the dividends. A
mill enhances the value of property,
provides marketf OF country produce,
swells the volume of trade and en-
courages the establishment of other
manufacturing enterprises.
In upper Carolina about every little
village of 500 inhabitants has a mill
and most cf the towns as large as
Fayetteville have several mills.
Conclusion. The committee unanl-
mously reports that the cotton mill
industry in South Carolina is in an
exceedingly prosperous condition. and
We believe that a cotton mill in Fay
ettevile would be a profitable invest
ment. although there would be some
difficulty at first in securing and train
ing the labor.
In conclusion we thank the Textile
association for the honor conferred
upon us and for the p:esure of very
interesting trip.

of the greatest "humbug" which Bar

was ragged, hairy, hungry and alto

WHERE THEY GET LIONS TO CAGE
Dealers in wild animals get most OF
their lions from Nubia- There the ma
tives search for lionesses with new
born cubs, kill the mother and bring
up the young beasts on goats milk.
When they are two months old the!
are taken to the coast on the backs
of camels and shipped to Europe.
Lions are also obtained from Abys-
sinia and Senegal. Formerly the At
las mountains furnished the finest
lions, but the species now no longer
exists except few specimens In me-
nageries. Nubian lions are worth
$1,000 apiece. while Senegal lions run
in price from $500 to $3.50. Tigers
vary in price from 1915 to $1,000
apiece, and more, according to variety
and rarity Of the animal. Siberian IT,
gers, for instance, sell at the latter
figure. They are large. beautifully
stripped creatures. In the winter they
grow q long, woolly winter coat. Some
full-grown tigers are captured In pit
falls, but most specimens Of these an
imals are caught while small cubs ana
raised on milk.-Chicago Daily News.
