Another Suluda Murder.

Saluda county has added another
killing t) her bloody record. On
Tuesday John Perry killed Joe Denny
Wills with a sho gun near Perry s
Cross Roads. Perry was sitting on
the roadside as Wills came riding by
on horseback, accompanied by his
father, either going 10 or returning
from their voting p eclnct AS they
came opposite Perry he raised his gun
aud fired, the load entering Joe Wills
breast near the shoulder blade AS
he fell from his horse Per y fred
again, the second load entering the
top Cf the head. Wills died immedi-
ately. He was young man with a
wife and two children. Perry is also
a married man. The cause Of the
trouble was that some stock of Wills
had been trespasSing upon Perry's
lands and they had some angry words
about ii. They were close neighbors,
their farms joining. Perry went tc
Saluda and gave himself up.

Value OF the leading Product.

The Worlds Work declares that
cotton Is now the dominant industry
OF the universe, having, according to
the analysis OF Mr.. Clarence III. Poe,
surpassed in value all forms of iron
and steel production. He estimates
the metal product at s1,700, 900 900
and cotton at 81 900, 900. 600. lie
adds that twice as mucn cotton as
wool is produced and three.f .fuurths OF
the worlds cJtton supply is grown In
the southern section OF the United
States. Twice The worlds total gold
product last year would have been re-
quircd to pay southern farmers for
lint and seed; three. fourths OF the
capital stock OF all the national banks
In the country would have been in
