HIGHER PRICES SAYS JORDAN.
PRESIDENT OF Growers Association Saws
crop Will be Far Short OF Record
Yield

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. S.-Harvie Jo~-
dan, president of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association, speaking to-
night of the outlook for marketing
the present cotton crop, said:
''The National election is past and
millions Of dollars of orders for manu-
factured goods have been placed in
the past few weeks. Raw cotton will
feel the impetus given to other lines
If industry. While the ginners' re-
ports indicate larger amount of cot
ton ginned to date than at any pre-
vious period in the history of the CEN
sus bureau, the ginnings for Novem-
Der and the succeeding months of the
year will indicate heavy and con-
tinuous falling off. The total yield of
this year will, in my opinion, fall far
short Of the two big crops years of
1904 and 1908.
Mr.. Jordan emphasized the belief
that the price Of cotton will rise speed

Rembert. Nov. 1O.-The election is
over. and those of us who had hoped
for Bryan's election are sadly disap-
pointed. and the result of same may
possibly have a demoralizing effect,
but true Democrats who were raised
and rocked in the cradle Of Democracy
can never sacrifice their principles to
support Roosevelt in 1912, and our
Southland will never consent to join
the Republican party. OF course we
have men from the best families in
our state who for the sake of office
will desert their party. families and
friends, but no power can break the
old solid south. Let us stand Arm

WAS received and expended by out
saders through the connivance and un-

LAUREN'S COUNTY HOMICIDE

Laurens, Nov. S.--The testimony of
Miss Mary Brown, the companion of
Thornwell Royce and Wade Cothran
P1nson on the ride during which
young Boyce was fatally shot by Pin
son near Cross Hill, seems to reveal
another side of the affair. her evil
dence going to show that the shooting
was at least due to criminal careless
ness on the part Of Pinson. Miss
Brown was the only eyewitness of
the affair." The following was the i'm
port of Miss Browns statement:
''The young people had been to a
party and young Boyce asked Miss
Brown to allow him to accompany
her home, going in the buggy in
which Pinson and -oyce had gone TO
the party. When out to leave for
home Pinson came up to the buggy
and declared his intention Of going
along in the same buggy; Miss Brown
objected then, because it appeared
that Pinson was under the influence
Of whiskey. However, the arrange
ment was satisfactorily made and the
three left together. All along the
road Pinson, Miss Brown declares in
her testimony, behaved in a very un-
seemly manner and was extremely
rough. against which she and Boyce
continually demonstrated Finally
Pinson pulled out his pistol and said:
L am going to shoot like hell" Both
Miss Brown and Boyce tried to deter
him. even after he had shot twice.
Then. after shooting twice out into
the wods. Pinson held the pistol up
against his breast. pointed toward the
head OF young BOyce, who was sitting
ed Miss Brown. she declares, and for
time she did not know what hal
happened. but in a moment she saw
Royce drop the lines, fall forward and
out OF the buggy. Immediately she
jumped out OF the buggy and ran TO
some others who were a little ahead.
and later went on to the residence of
Mrs. Denney. where Boyce was later
carried and where he died yesterday
at noon.
Further in the testimony Miss
Brown declares that Pinson came on
to Mrs. Denney's and called for her.
she went out 10 speak to him. He ad-
dressed her thus: Miss Mary. Won
know / did not shoot Boyce. He shot
himself. To which she replied that
such was not the case, that Pinso,
had shot Boyce.
Miss Brown stated that voung
Boyce was not under the influence Of
whiskey: If so she could not detect II
but that Pinson was drunk. Her tes-
umony was taken yesterday by DR..
Peake, she being in bed, almost pros
trated. Yesterday, the 7th. was
young Thornwel Boyce's birthday ba
being 2S years Of age.
Young Pinson. with his father
came to Laurens yesterday afternoon
to arrange bail. which was granted
last night in the sum of $4,000 by
Judge Memminger, who is here hold
ing civil court. The law firm Of Can
non & Blackwell have been retained
for the defense.

Cutting Scrape at Bullion

There was Il cutting scrapc ut Bullion
Saturday. in which Chapo Judici came
very g losing his life ut the hands of
Chris Scott. Particulars of the affair
are rather mcager rs no II witnessed
it. But from what we are able to gather
it appears that JUDGE and Scott had
drank a half gallon of whiskey between
them and that Scott was crazy drunk
and Judici was too drunk to know
what really happened. The men were
alone in their cabin and were getting
supper. Scott was cutting meat and
Judici was pealing potatoes, when Scott
suddenly plunged his knife into to
Judici's left breast in the region of the
heart. After the cutting, Judici went
outside of the cabin and laid down. He
was found some time afterward and q
messenger was sent to Remnants ranch
to telephone to Elko for a physician.
DR.. West answered the call and he and
Joe Taber left at once for Bullion.
An examination of Judici showed
that the knife had punctured the peri
cardium, but had not touched the heart,
Judici's wound was dressed and he was
made as comfortable rs possible. He
was brought in yesterday and taken tc
Boiling hospital.
Scott claims to know nothing about
the cutting. 1t is said that Scott was
killing oil sorts of green snakes and
doing other crazy things before the
physician reached Bullion. He came in
with Judici yesterday and is now at
large rs Judici refuses to make u com
plant against him.
Judici and Scott claim to be the
warmest kind Of friends and throw the
blame OH whiskey.
Scott Is n young mar who gets crazy
when he drinks too much, IF this bt
true and his mania takes a murdcrous
bent, is he not u good man to put where
he can't get whiskey2 1t looks that
way to the writer.
District Attorney Caino took Judici's
statement this afternoon. In 1t it
exonerated Scott from all blame ant
asked that nothing be done with him it
Ease he (Judici) died. Judici seems t.
BIO getting along rs well as can b
expected, but the district attorney die
not wish to take any chances in tn,
matter.
