q Congressman Lever has arranged
with the department of agriculture to
carry on some cotton seed selection
work in the county of Orangeburg.
All of the cotton breeding work in
the State is being carried on by Mr..
L. e. Boykin, a graduate of Clemson
College and q citizen Of Lee County:
His work at present lis confined to the
northeast part OF State in Marl-
boro and nariing counties. It is
Mr.. sLever,sit to have some of the
work done irf Drangebnrg, which is
the largest cotton growing county IN
the State, and to this end Mr. Boykin
win be directed to begin work in that
county
The matter of seed selection is very
important to cotton growers. 1t ena-
bles them to get rid of light, inferior
seed, and the cost of separation is
practically nothing. The expert
ments so far made by the department.
Indicate that through proper seed Sc
lection the yield can be increased
from 10 per cent. to 15 per cent. per
acre, and this would mean for the en-
tire South an increase of 100000
bales without any increase of labor or
acreage, and this means, of course, a
net increase in the value Of the cot
ton crop of about $50, 600 per an
mum.

As the news spread from person to
person, Mr.. M. L. Fox, who runs a
store in New Brookland, remembered
that he had bought a single barrel
gun from two negroes about 10 O'Clock
in the morning, and he Immediately
carried the gun to Mr.. Ellison for
the purpose of ascertaining if the gun
was the one missing from the house.
Mr.. Ellison at once recognized the
gun as that of his own, and thus the
first clue was obtained. The Colum-
bia police we're notified to be on the
watchout for the men, as was the
sheriffs of Richland and Lexington.
Posses we're soon securing the whole
vicinity and blood hounds from the
penitentiary were carried to the
house; but were unable to pursue the
assassins. It was soon learned, how
ever, that two negroes answering the
description given by Mr.. Fox, had
been seen going up the G.. n. & L..
railroad toward Newberry, and mes
sages we're sent to all stations along
the line to be on the lookout and to
arrest all suspects.

Lynchinq Narrowly Averted.

The negroes were placed in charge
of MIR. Fox and the return to Colum-
bia was begun. In the meantime
Capt. Griffith was communicated with
and arrangements we're made to have
the two men taken off the train above
Columbia to evade the would-be
lynchers, who had gathered in great
numbers in Columbia and Brookland.
Under heavy guard the men were
hurried to the penitentiary, thus
preventing a lynching which un-
sdoubtedly would have occurred had
it not been for the alertness of the
officers.
They Confess.
On Friday the negroes made a COM
plete confession to Capt. Griffith, Cor
oner Clark and others at the peniten-
tiary, and they testified as to the con-
fession at the inquest Friday evening.
The verdict of the jury was in effect
that Mrs. Ellison came to her death
at the hands of Ned and Brack Toland.
The negroes are from Prosperity
and are II and 10 years of age respec-
lively. Ned, the older of the two,
has a long criminal record behind
him.
An Early Trial.
+! 1t is thought that special term of
court will be ordered for the trial of
the ulprits, within about three weeks.
Solicitor Zimmerman is busily en-
gagged at Edgefeld this week, and it
will be impossible to have a legal
trial earlier than above stated.
In the meantime the prisoners will
be kept in the penitentiary for safe
keeping, although lynching would
be inevitable once the prisoners are
in the care of Lexington's brave and
manly sheriff, for he would defend
the men at the risk of his own life.
