Lintless Cotton.
Mr.. John w. Miller, carrier on rura
route No g. left at The Enquirer office
this morning some specimens Of Tint
less" cotton taken from the fields o.
Messrs ]. B. Miller, D. E. Jackson ant
others. The specimens consist of full
sized bolls of ordinary appearance
which, when split open, show only
seeds-not a sign of lint Mr.. Miller
explained that the bolls were taker
from the tops of ordinary stalks Of cot
ton. The lower bolls Of the stalks were
normal and full of lint; but a large
per cent of the top bolls are like those
shown-entirely lintless. The same
thing has been seen In previous years
but there seems to be more Of 1t thi:
year than ever before.

Case Of j. Henry Garrison.
Laurens special Of September 27, tc
the Columbia State: The fall term OF
general sessions court for Laurens
county will be convened tomorrow
morning with Judge r. Withers Mem
minger Of Charleston presiding. There
are only four or five murder cases
docketed for this term, but this num-
Der includes one of the most sensa-
tional, perhaps, that has been in the
county in years, that Of the State VS.
]. Henry Garrison Of Gray Court, who
will have to answer for the murder OF
]. Louis Williamson, the young YORK
county man who was shot to death In
Garrison's home by Garrison himself
on the night Of July 81, this year. II
will be recalled that young William
son, who was a suitor for the hand OF
Miss Mary Garrison, daughter Of the
defendant, met his tragic death in the
very presence Of Miss Garrison, while
the two were seated in the parlor OF
the Garrison home. Mr.. Williamson
was fatally wounded and died few
hours later. The exact line Of defense
is not known, but the defendant claim
ed on the day following the tragedy
that he shot because he observed VIII
hanson conducting himself improper
ly toward his daughter. Two strong
local law firms-Ferguson e. Feather
stone and Richey & Richey-will rep
resent the defense, while Mr.. ]. L. VIII
hanson Of York, father Of J. Louis
Williamson, and perhaps other counsel
will be associated with Solicitor
Cooper.
