Woman's Body Exhumed.

The sensation caused BY the find
ing of the body of Mrs. Whit Ham
ilton in the we'll, five days after the
disappearance from her home near
Dillon, did not end with her burial.
Vague runners of foul play were rife
throughout the section and the in
quest was postponed until things
could assume some shape.
At the instance of bSother of the
deceased and some of the jury, Cor
cner Lassiter ordered the grave
opened and an autopsy held. Although
it was one of the hottest days of
the summer, a large motley crowd
of men and boys, black and white,
collected at the family burying ground,
many of them walking about two
miles from Dillon, where the disin.
terment took place. The casket was
removed from the grave and opened.
Decomposition. however. had set III.
obliterating all evidence. if there had
been any, of violence. Consequently,
the jury had to fall back upon the
prima facie evidence of suicide.

Sham Battle at Encampment Abrupt
ly Broken Up.
Real bullets were used at the encamp-
ment at Chickamauga Friday by the
First Georgia regiment in its "bat-
tie" with the seventeenth infantry reg
ularS.
Colonel Gordon's regiment was the
main body OF. the "Blue" army. The
seventeenth regulars formed the MAIN
body of the tt'Brown" army. The two
forces met, when contesting in the
crucial point of the days program. A.
hot fusilade ensued. During the heat
of the fight, bullets began to sing
above the heads and in the ranks
of the regulars. A rush was made
by the latter for cover. They sprang
behind trees, they lat flat upon the
ground, they did everything but turn
their backs and run. One private,
whose name is unknown to the au-F
thorities, was wounded.
Two companies of Colonel Gordon's
regiment were ordered off the field
and the maneuvers abruptly ended
Mystery seems to surround the sit
uation. An investigation may place
the responsibility.

LYNCHER GOES TO PEN.
Leader of Salisbury Mob is Quickly
Convicted and Given a Sentence
of Fifteen Years.

George Hall, cotton mill opera
tive, was convicted Friday of con.
spiracy in connection with the lynch
ing Of the three L-groes ct Sails
burg, n. c., and given a term of
fifteen years in the state peniten-
tary.
The hearing of the case began when
court opened at 10:3O o'clock Friday
morning. At 6:15 p. m, after hearing
several witnesses establishing Halls
participation in the lynching, the
case was given to the jury. After
being out twenty minutes, verdict
of guilty was agreed upon, and the
maximum penalty for the offence
charged was imposed by Judge B. F.
Long. Court adjourned for the day
at ITO p. m.
This is said to be the first convic-
ton of the kind ever secured in the
state of North Carolina, although q
number of efforts have been made
to bring members of mobs to justice.
The state sprung a surprise in the
trial when the offense against the
prisoner was changed from murdea
to conspiracy.
When the court was called to order,
lion. T. j. Kluttz announced thas
his client would contend that the
court was unlawful. It was argued
that the governor could not sign q
commission for such court unless
he was in the state, and it was claim
ed that he was at Atlantic City, N.
]. Mr.. Kluttz asked that subpoena
be issued for Governor Glenn, and
have him brought to court to testify.
This was done and the chief exec
utive Of the state was sworn End
questioned about his whereabouts on
the 18th of July, the day that the
call for the court was made. He said
that ne was in Atlantic City, N. j., and
in order to do what he could to pre-
vent a lynching, he wired his private
secretary to issue the commission and
sign his name to it. This he consider:
ed the proper thing to do.
The objection of the defendant was
overruled and the trial proceeded.

Cotton Condition improves.

Weather conditions in South Caro-.
lima for the pest week have been
ideal for cotton. There has been plen-
ty Of sunshine and warm nights and
consequently the crop has been great
ly improved. A week Of clear weather
has dried out the fields and enabled
farmers to do some work in the
way of clearing out grass, although
in extremely loW places the crop is
still in grass. A week or two more
of dry weather, however, will mate
rally aid farmers in the lowlands
in ridding their cotton Of grass.
The incessant rains of July wrought
permanent injury to the crops in the
lower portion of the state. Last
month witnessed the heaviest rain
falls since the records have begun
10 be kept. There was precipitation
of S.SS inches for the state general
ly, and as high as 16 inches at one
point This is the wettest July on
record, not only in point of state
average, but in maximum amount at
any one point The lowest rainfall for
the month was at Blair's, Fairfield
county, which had only 4.22 inches.
