Excitement in Rock Hill.
Over an Attempted Criminal

Girl by a Negro---Lynch-

Fiend to York Jail

er.
Rock Hill, S. c., March IL
The town Of Rock Hill was in
a quiver of excitement last night
over an attack upon the 13 year
old daughter Of w. l.. Sweet, o.
the Arcade Mill village. A lyncn.
ing was avoided by the care and
prompt action Of the policemen,
who, on catching the man they
had suspected, hurried him off
through the country to the
Yorkville jail. He had been
positively identified by the girl,
and three other little girls who
were with her when the negro
attacked her, and was well on
his way to Yorkville in a buggy
with two officers, armed with
shot guns; when the crowd of
operatives, who were searching
for him, learned of his capture.
The town is still warmly discuss.
ing the incident, but no further
trouble is feared.
The negro, Will Crosby, who
had been doing odd jobs about
the mill village for several days,
did not surprise his danger. He
was captured In store late last
night. The little girls were com
ing through little wooded por-
ton of the suburb, along a branch,
when Crosby jumped from be-
hind a tree and seized the girl.
She screamed and fought des-
perately, her clothing being pat
TALLY torn from her in the vio-
lent efforts she made to free her
self. Crosby drew a knife and
threatened to plunge it into her
bosom if she did not submit.
The quick-witted girl saved her
self by agreeing to meet him
that evening and then came home
and told her parents.

Caution to Farmers.
Don't Over-Plant Cotton this
Season--If you do, Price
will Drop to g or 7 Cents
Views of a High Authori-
ty.

Every farmer should read the
following interesting and timely
letter which has been received
by Secretary Cheatham, of the
Southern Cotton Association,
from Superintendent King of the
New York Cotton Exchange:
Your favor of the 9th instant
is received. Thanks for Presi-
dent Jordan's cotton statistics,
ETC., which give the facts clearly
and intellgently.
In my opinion the coming
planting season will prove to be
the most trying if not the most
critical in the experience of the
cotton growers of the South.
Trying because there are MANY
who believe 10 or 1O4 cents will
prove so serious temptation 10
the planter that he will put
every available acre in cotton.
This opinion is not confined to
this section Of the country alone,
but is endorsed by many of the
good people of the South, not
planters of cotton l am glad to
say.
1t will indeed prove a critical
season for the planter and for
the entire South should the
temptation to over-plant in cot.
ton be carried out. The years
of splendid work of your Asso-
citation together with that of
others who have co-operated,
will be swept away, and a condi-
lion of servitude for the planter
will be re enacted with it's con-
sequent &c or 7c for cotton.
This is not an extreme picture.
II is certain to occur unless the
planters stand solidly together
and for their own protection
diversifying the planting, put
ting IN a moderate acreage only
in cotton. If the planters will
not protect themselves in a mat
ter OF such vital interest, to
whom can they look for help {?
Certainly not to the buyer and
he consumer.
To sum up the matter, the
situation for veal or for woe, for
&c or for 12c is entirely in the
hands of the planter. In brief
interval Of time the world will
know whether he has proven
false to himself or has had the
courage and manliness to resist
the temptation which now
threatens to wrest from him the
control of the Sita alton.
Yours truly,
VIM. Y. King.
