= Lillian Russell, the actress, was
robbed Of $2,500 worth Of jewelry on a
train out Of Chicago last Thursday, by
a very slick thief. Miss Russell with
her maid was In Pullman car apart
ment, and had q small hand bag In
her hand, the bag containing the jew
els. Just as the train was pulling out
Of a station the apartment door was
opened suddenly by stranger. who
apologized for the intrusion as though
he was unaware Of its being occupied,
and was apparently much confused.
He backed out Of the door, and as he
was almost out quickly made a grab
for the bag of jewels, slammed the door
shut, ran to the end door Of the car
and jumped from the rapidly moving
train. Miss Russell and her maid were
so dazed by the occurrence that 1t was
several minutes before they could give
the alarm.

Batesburg special to the Columbia
State: The continual rains during the
summer months have caused Won
derful growth In cotton In many
places. The weed is very rank ana Ina
luxuriant, but very poorly fruited. In
many places the cotton Is higher than
a mans head, but Mr.. H. D. Pugh or
this section takes the prize for the
largest stalk. He has had on exhlDi-
ton at Rutlands stables during this
week g. giant stalk. 1t measures nine
feet three inches in height, has limbs
that extend about six feet from the
trunk, thus giving it the sweep OF a
circle twelve feet in diameter 1t Is
well developed, but has very few Dolls
on it according to its size.
The Blacksburg correspondent OF
the News and Courier tells Of q shoot
ing scrape at the house Of Dipher Will
liams, colored, at whose house large
number Of negroes gathered Saturday
night for a festival. Too much booze
led to a quarrel when guns were
brought into service resulting in NAL
vim Rippy having one Of his shoulders
and a part Of his neck torn away by
a load Of buck shot. Dipher Williams
had his breast and stomach penetrat-
ed by small shot. Both men are In
critical condition. Dave Rippy and
Chambers were both shot, but not Sc

by Chief Of Police Duncan and. Deputy
Turner and lodged in jail. More ar
rests will be made later

main outside.
Ginning Business In Hard Lines.
Messrs. Black Bros. have decided to
discontinue the operation Of their cot
ton gin until further notice and the
reason that Mr.. Arthur Black gave the
reporter yesterday is interesting: La
Dor is too high and the price we re-
ceive for ginning is too low. The fields
are white with cotton and we've got
to pick it. AS matters now stand we
can sell the fuel that we use for steam
to other folks at greater profit
than we can hope to get out Of the
operation Of the gin under present
conditions" The Oil mill people say
that they would not operate their gin
except Tor the opportunity it affords
to buy cotton seed.

There was no frost Saturday night;
but the mercury was within a pretty
close shave Of the frost line.
There is a widespread belief that
the weather has changed and that 1t
will now be dry enough to harvest the
crops.
The local D. A. RS are getting bus
ier and buster making arrangements
for the State convention to be held in
Yorkville at the end Of the month.
Il is gratifying to remark that with
all the race tension that is being re-
1ected in the newspaper reports from
other sections of the south, there Is
very little evidence Of anything Of the
kind in this locality.
Everybody passing along the country
roads are remarking the whiteness Of
the cotton fields. Many Of the fields
look as II every boil is open. and the
lint is hanging down in long clusters.
Nobody has ever seen the like before
on such large scale.
The outlook is that we are to have
quite a taste Of bad roads this winter.
The wet weather of the summer has
put the roads in a fearful shape, and
IL winter is accompanied by its usual
characteristics there will be no oppor-
tunity for the roads to get any better.
The idea of protecting the birds has
the full sympathy Of The Enquirer,
and we think that people who violate
the game laws should be prosecuted.
We also suggest the desirability OF a
rigid enforcement Of the Ardrey tress-
pass law. It Is no longer necessary for
land owner to advertise against
tresspassers. OF course, there is nothing
to prevent any man from crossing the
lands Of another provided he does no
damage. But hunting of any kind on
the lands Of another without the per-
mission Of the owner Is strictly prohib-
tied. There are a great many people
who have no objection to giving hum
ters permission to shoot on their
lands; but where the land owner does
object his objection should be entitled
to respect. Hunters should not fail to
ask for permission to hunt. And peo-
ple who shoot birds before the end Of
the close season should be punished.
There is very little reason to doubt
the fact that the negro women propose
to quit doing the family washing as
we'll as other work for the white peo-
pie. Just what their reason Is we do
not know. Possibly 1t Is because they
do not like to work much anyway;
but all the indications point to their
intention to get out Of this kind Of
work. Mr. w. E. Gettys who lives out
on the Charlotte road, told Of very
good case in point a few days ago.
1T was in Rock HILL" said Mr.. Gettys.
"A well-to-do white lady had been
having lots of trouble with the family
washing, and one day hailed a big
stout negro woman who was passing
her gate with the following: Can't
you do my washing for me next week?
I'll be much obliged and will pay you
literally. I'll do your washing for
you next week II you will do mine for
me the week after replied the negro
woman" The negotiations were closed
without further remark.

State convention would be . gathering
of which The State would be proud.
What was the special attraction?
Was it one of the following?
l. A drunken postmaster yelling at
the top of his voice in the presence of
ladies sGive 'em hell, Spence"
2. a delegate whose head was split
open by a plate in the hands of q decent
young woman waiter, at a hotel, whom
he insulted.
3. Another delegate bound over to
court for toting a pistol in the conven-
ton and trying to use it.
Really is there a decent republican In
North Carolina, out Of Office, who would
have been willing to carry his son and
daughter there to study a lesson in
government?
In his speech accepting the congress
sional nomination, before the conven-
ton at Asheville on June 80, Hon. w.
T. Crawford is reported to have said:
81 do not believe that any man can say
he is proud of the republican party. II
would be an assertion that he endorses
meanness." The three incidents recit-
ed above give added weight to the state
ment attributed to Mr.. Crawford, YET
there Ire some folks who feign unal-
loyed happiness in the republican party,
even at the back door. But the people
do not take them seriously, knowing
their lack of independent manhood and
free thought heretofore. The republi
a party of North Carolina offers no
attractions to the better class of our
citizenship at present, and the future of
that crowd looks dark and dreary, in
deed.
In an issue of July 5, the followingl
item appeared:
"The republican state convention
soon to be held in Greensboro will be a
warm number. There is going to be Q
hot time in the old town, when that
aggregation of pie hunters and flop
doodles get together"
Authentic reports of that conventlo n
verify the correctness of our prophe, Y.
There was swearing drinking. head-sp i
ting, pistol toting land presentingl, Of
fered insults to women and kindred
offenses. And rumor has it that some
people violated instr uctions. Verify
the way of the transgressor is hand.
The delegate whose head was split by a
plate in the hands of the young woman
heinsulted has since died, the pistol toter
was bound over to court and. those who
violated instructions are being roundly
denounced by some of their associates
THE world do move"
