time of the famous Walter Scott
special that made the trip from
Los Angeles to Chicago in A
hours and "a minutes. The
train went through here early
Monday morning, and was lit
lie behind the schedule when it
reached here. Engineer Bris
coe pulled the train from here
to Gallup and during that run
the front drivers of the engine
left the track twice, but they
were soon replaced and the
special went along as though
nothing had happened. This
was one of the most miraculous
escapes from a disasterous
wreck that has ever been known
in the history of this division

"Wesknow that there is most ac-

sary to run them to fill these con-
tracts. The association considered q
cents a fair but not unreasonable
price for cotton, but in view OF the

been instituted against cotton Ill the
last few days it would be absurd for
the. Southern Cotton Association to
stand by and see the producers Of
cotton throughout the South despoll-

.BLEASEz TRIAL OPENED.
Change of Venue Denied by Judge.
Memminger.

Saluda, Special.-When court con-
vened Thursday morning the case Of
the State against ID. 8, Blease, charg-
ed with murder, was called. The To-
licitor and Mr.; Z: S; Sease; who IS.
assisting in the prosecution, formally
moved for change of venue, the mo-
tion being based upon the afidavits
of 299 citizens Of the county that they
did not believe the State could, obtain,
fail and impartial trial. Defend:
ants counsel in. reply read the alfi-.
davits 5f B25 eitiEaila wh6 Swear that.
a fail. and impartial trial in this case
can be had in Saluda county. In adj
dition to these affidavits were limit
ted by 20 citizens who stated that
they had signed afidavits for change.
of vehua tiidef a inisappreheTsion.
Besides these, defendants counsel
submitted afidavits Of the county
supervisor bf Saluda county; the sup
crintendent of education, Several mag
istrates in the county; those of All ex-
supervisor ard ar exssEetifT. The so-#
licitor, in presenting his side Of the
case stated that this was a rare case
and should not be tried by the strong
friends of either side for it matters
not how the case should terminate,
improper motives would be suspected.
The af1idavits show that d State sena-i
tor from this county is charged with:
the killing Of another itiah almost
equally as popular, and that under
such circumstances it would indeed be-
difficult to procure jury free from
bias and prejudice. The a6idavits as
we'll as the records show that the
State codld ii6t get representation at
the local bar, but that on the other
hand, every member Of the legal fra
ternity at this place represents the
defendant.
The purpose Of all judicial investi-
cations is to get trial even above
suspicion. In spite Of the fact that,
the sympathy Is always with the de-
tense In cases uf this kind the State
shows BY the aRidavits Of 299 men
that there is rlB probability of fair
trial in Saluda county. All that the
State asks is that it be transferred
to some county where there is on rea-s
son to believe bias or prejudice ex-a:
lists.
When the aAidavits on behalf Of the
defendant had been read the solicitor
asked for time to procure other af1i-
davits for the State: This Judge Min. .
.mingef profiptly refused.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Sease S
argument. Judge Memminger held that
tile showing made by the State was IN
sufficient and declined the motion.
