ment. and Richard Reed Rogers, general
counSel, who constitute the electoral COM

IN auction or not is not known. but
when the packing cases were opened,
instead Of $4,000 worth Of pots and
pans, bedsteads, chairs and other
things. $4,000 worth of tapeatries.
marbles. oil paintings. armor, porce-
lains and other things Of like ilk were
exposed to view.
Just exactly what explanation was
made by Mrs. Chadbourne at the
start Of the investigation is not known,
but the case was 50 big that Charles
p. Montgomery, chief OF the customs
department Of the United States
treasury, was put on the case. He
came to Chicago and interviewed Mrs.
Chadbourne and her relatives. He
went to Boston and interviewed Mrs.
Gardner.
At first there were denials and
protestations, but when he confront
ed them with the fact that one Of the
tapestries concealed in a packing case
and valued at $4,000 was a certain
registered piece Of work the owner
ship Of which was we'll known to exist
to Mrs. Gardner, she having purchased
1t on certain day from q certain
dealer in Europe, all explanations and
all subterfuge fell to the ground.
Then heroic efforts were made to
settle the case without publicity and
as cheaply as possible. The govern
ment authorities, however, were in
censed at the attempted fraud. and
when the appraisers fixed a value Of
$4,000 on the $4,000 worth of
household goods" they Immediately
assessed the legitimate duties (Which
amounted to $30,0O0) and then clap.
ped on a 80 per cent penalty on the
gross value Of the goods.
This made nice little sum OF $7O..
600 which somebody had to put up as
the first step out OF the woods. 1t
took some days to get this check, but
finally check for the amount was
handed to the customs authorities.
The goods were thereupon declared
forfeited to the government, and II
Mrs. Gardner wishes to secure their
return She must pay the government
0.000-their real value-for them,
otherwise, they will be sold at auc-
ton.
When this step is taken the COM
mercial honor Of the government will
be satisfied but the department Of
justice in all probability. unless pres
ent plans are changed, will get into
action.

YoRKvILLE EDITOR ASSAULTED.
Mr.. w. ID. Grist Beaten In Office Of
Clerk Of Court by w. H. Windle.

Yorkville. Aug. 27.-Mr. w. d.
Grist, editor Of the Yorkville En-
quirer, was brutally beaten in the Of
fice Of the clerk OF Court here this
afternoon by w. H. windle, Of Fort
Mill Township. in this county. Mr.
Grist was engaged in copying the ex-
pense account Of the various candi-
dates In the recent primary when
Windle, accompanied by w. Thom-
son Jackson, stepped up to him. Both
.Windle and Jackson had heavy walk
ing sticks In their hands. Mr.. Grist
spoke to Windle. saying: "Howdy
do" and In reply was struck over
the head and knocked to his knees.
The blow was followed in rapid sue.
cession by others and Mr.. Grist given
no. opportunity to defend himself. He
weiths about ls5 pounds. windle not
far from 200 and Jackson not less
than $50.
After Windle had struck Mr.. Grist
q number of blows Clerk Of the Court
Tate. who owes his denomination to
office on Tuesday largely to the efforts
OF Windle and Jackson, suggested that
the assault had probably gone far
enough. when jackson insisted that
they be allowed to fight 1t out, and
Windle continued to use his stick and
nsts. Finally Mr.. Grist concluding
that 1t was their purpose to murder
him. and as all three were his ene-
mics, called several times for the Do
lice. but the door having been closed
by Jackson. he was not heard outside.
About this time windle and Jackson
left the ONCE. and. although suffer-
ing considerably. Mr.. Grist finished his
work and returned to his ONCE.
The alleged reason for the assault
was that Mr.. Grist had slandered him
In his paper. the alleged slander be.
Ing that the ENQUIRER had called at
tention to the fact that windle, al
though not a candidate. was taking
considerable interest in politics all
over the county. It IL q fact that he
was present at large proportion of
the campaign meetings. working in
the interest OF certain candidates at
each precinct visited. He was an
ardent supporter Of Cole L. Blease.
who was opposed by the Enquirer.
No arrests have been made.

cessively hot weather, producing rust,

cesslVely not weather, producing rust,
black rot and shedding.
Georgia reports 80 counties affect
ed by black rot, which is damaging
the crop no little. Other sections re-
port caterpillars. too much rain. fol-
lowed by excessive heat. Cotton has
deterior&ted wonderfully in the last
ten days.
Then other cotton belt States re-
port conditions just about as bad. In
view Of this information, it is the
height of folly for the producer and
holder OF spots to become frightened
and sell. The Farmers Union is in a
position to get a correct estimate Of
the crop, and it is wisdom in the
farmer listening to the Union. whose
interest is Identical with his. rather
than to listen to the speculator.
whose interest 1t is to get your cotton
just as cheap as possible.
The national convention Of the
Farmers Union will convene Septem-
ber lst for the purpose Of fixing the
price Of cotton. At that time the
Union will know the exact condition
Of the crop. and will Ax a price in
keeping with those conditions.
In view Of these facts. I urge every
man owning q bale Of cotton to store
It In a bonded warehouse, borrow
money to meet your obligations, and
hold on till the price set is reached.
1t IL suicidal in US to work hard and
make a crop and then let the gambler
and speculator have 1t at less than it
Cost US to make 1t. Stand by your
guns and make good fight and VIC
tory IL ours.
