Number OF Bales Ginned up to March
>. 1916. OOO-Scarcity OF Labor Re-
ported From all Sections.
Memphis Tenn. March 1.-The Ma
tional Ginners' Association issued a
bulletin at l o'clock to-day. showing
the number of bales of cotton ginned
up to March 2, to be 12,716,000.
The reoprt by states is as follows:
Alabama, 1921, 900; Arkansas, $50,
900: Florida, 2 1000; Georgia, 1921, 900;
Indian Territory, $1,000; Kentucky,
1900: Louisiana, 931, 900; Mississippi,
All, 900; Missouri, 46,5OO; North Caro-
lima. $4,000; Texas, 1908, 900; Virgin
ia, $4,000; Total 12,715,O0O. The re-
port which is signed by J. A. Taylor,
president of the association, says:
Owing to the very fine wearther in the
west, cotton has been picked very
much closer than usual and this has
increased the crop at least 200, 900
bales. if not more.
Our reports indicate there will be
much change in the acreage in Texas
and the WI territories, where there
will be an increase of from 5 to 10
per cent. Scarcity of labor is the re-
port from all sections. We have re-
ports from a large number of u%ncount-
ed towns that show very much lighter
stocks than last year.

Neagre details OF a dastardly crime,
committed yesterday afternoon, were
brought TO the city last night by pas
seagers arriving on the late train
from the south, which got in shortly
after midnight, it being that Of a
successful attempt at rape, committed
By a negro ON a young lady school
teacher, of Mallory, = small town in
South Carolina.
Mallory is a spsTselE settled village,
lying on a branch railroad liae ex-
bending from Latta to Gle, bling a few
miles from Latta.
Time the report Of the assault be-
came known, scores Of e~nfuriatcd
and enraged men formed themselves
late q posse and a systetmatic ana
thorough searh Of adj the surrounding
country wos t once started. 1t was
not possible to learn whether the brute
had been captured OF not, but it is
hardly speculation to say that certain
death would be his fate.
Shortly after the posse of men,
there being about 200 in the party,
began securing the neighbOrhOOd and
surrounding country for the negro,
a telegram was sen to Chadbourn as
king that b~lOOdhounds be sent to Nal
loEy on a special train. Arrangements
were being made for the train and it is
practically certain that before this
time the animals are On the trail Of
the culprit, unless he has been captur-
ed.
The news of the assault, where
eve it became known, created intense
excitement and if the negro is caught
anywhere near the scene of his crime
lynching is sur to follow.
1t was not possible to learn the
name of the young lady who vas the
victim Of the attack, but it was said
that she was a popular young school
teacher and had the respect and es-
TEEN of all those who knew her.
The scene Of the outrage was near
Latta, which is a station on the main
line of the A. G. l.. about twenty five
miles above Florence.
