CRUSHED BY TRAIN.
Young Man Killed in Greenville on
Railway Crossing.

Greenville, October 2.-Asa Bat
son, young white man, was instant
ly killed and his father, W. Y. Bat
son, was slightly injured near Mari
eta this morning by the Greenville
and Knoxville train. the accident oc-
curing as the two were trying to
cross the track in a wagon. The
train was coming around curve and
was not seen by the two men until
right upon them. The wagon was
torn to pieces, the horeses escaping
unharmed.
The coroner's inquest was held
this afternoon, and a full investiga-
ton of the accident was made. The
engineer stated that he blew the
whistle at the proper point, and ap-
piled the brakes upon seeing the
wagon on the track. The train was
going at the usual rate of speed.
The two men saw the train just as
the horses were getting on the track,
and hesitated whether to go on or
not. The father jumped on the
north side, escaping with slight in
juries, but the son was found on the
south side with the back of his head
crushed in. The accident occurred
about mile from Marietta, at 10
o'clock this morning.

Some Cotton Facts.

For the second consecutive year
Southern mills have consumed more
cotton than the northern mills, ac-
cording to Secretary Hester's report
on the consumption of American cot
ton, made public on the floor OF the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange at the
close Of business recently. Southern
mills. up to the close of the CONNER
cial year ending August 81, 1909,
consumed 2,560,000 bales, against
100000 bales consumed in the
North.
When the Hester report a year
ago showed that the Southern mills
had for the first time gone ahead of
those of the North by narrow mar
gin, it was generally attributed to
unfavorable commercial conditions
having had more serious effect on
the New England mills than those OF
the South.
The figures created considerable
stir among cotton men, for such re-
suits were hardly expected, although
it had been reported for some time
that Southern mills were increasing
their spindles at faster rate than
Northern mills, and that the eX-
pansion Of cotton manufacturing IN
the South was on scale seloom
known in any industry.
For years the bulls have been
claiming that the centre of the cotton
manufacturing industry of the world
was fast moving from Lancashire to
the United States, and that eventu-
ally the centre would be established
in the South. Secretary Hesters S
statement was taken as confirmation
by the bulls Of their prediction.
The total consumption Of Amerl-
can cotton by the world was put at
13.116,000 bales, the largest on rec
ord. larger by 1,004,00 bales than
last year and larger by 505,000 bales
than the largest consumption ever
| known before, which was two years
ago. Consumption Of foreign spin
ners was put at S,056,000 bales.
The total consumption Of Ameri-
can cotton last year was l2,ll2,O00
bales, while two years ago it was
12,G11, 900.
The total visible supply Of cotton
was put at 3,052,000 bales. against
2,412,000 a year ago and 1,932,O00
two years ago. Mill stocks in the
United States were estimated at
1900 bales, against 100000 year
ago. and foreign mills stocks were
estimated at 100000 bales, against
1,123,000 a year ago.
1t was announced that Ellison's s
figures on mill stocks for last year
had been corrected from l,l23,O00
to 100000 bales.-Farmers' Union

Sensation in Murray Matter.

Sumter, Oct. 1.-The county board
of commissioners have received a let
ter from former United States Sena-
tor William E. Mason, of Chicago,
protesting against the issuance OF
requisition for George w. Murray.
Mr.. Mason's letter contains some SEN
sational charges. He writes as the
friend not the attorney Of Murray,
and he bases his protest against the
requisition on the grounds that Muir
ray was never properly convicted;
that two of the prosecuting witnesses
james chatham and Scipio Chat
man-both colored, have admitted
since the trial that they were bribed
to testify against Murray; that Muir
ray paid $4,000 las fine" by for
feiting his bond, and that it was un-
derstood that if he paid this fine he
would be left alone so long as he left
South Carolina.
He says also that Murray was
stripped of his property and reduced
to poverty" He also charges that
the efforts to bring Murray back
have been instigated by negroes of
Chicago who have borrowed the little
money Murray had left and now seek
to escape payment by having him
extradited and sent to prison. He
asks that the board of commissioners
consider the matter carefully before
having the requisition for Murray
issued.
Accompanying the letters are two
affidavits-one by James chatham,
stating that Murray had been wrong
fully convicted, the other by Hamp-
ton Peters, stating that Scipio and
James chatham had told him they
were paid s105 to testify against
Murray.

Saloons Open in Bristol.

Bristol, Va, Oct. 1.-After a
drought of more than 18 months,
Bristol is once more "wet," IL sa-
looms having opened here this morn
ing. Others will open Monday and
it is said the number may increase
to 25. The license is $4,000 annual
ly.
The return of saloons was not
without it's tragic significance. Chas.
Kenny, a merchant of this county,
fell under his wagon while returning
home from the city in an intoxicated
condition, it is alleged, and was al
most instantly killed. He was we'll
known and was prosperous business
man. Until to-day, it is said, he had
not taken a drink in three years.

mites for women which our associa-
ton is laboring to bring about" she
said. Upon their replies will depend
whether the association works for
or against their candidacy.

HURT ON 'POSSUM HUNT.
Laurens Mans Life Hanging in Bal

Laurens, Oct. 2.-An unfortunate
accident occurred last night about
three mills from the city, in which
Mr.. Jas. Mundy had his throat cut to
such degree that his life this morn
ing is hanging in the balance. Mr..
Mundy, with Mr.. Nelson, was pos
sum hunting in the woods near his
home. At about II o'clock the two
men "treed" a 'possum, as Mr.. Nell
son was cutting down the little sap
ling his axe flew off the handle and
struck Mr.. Mundy in the left of his
neck, severing a number of veins,
although missing the chief artery. He
was promptly taken home, but before
a physician could be secured suffered
great loss of blood.
This morning Mr.. Mundy is barely
alive.

Whiskey Drummer Convicted.

Laurens, Sept. 2S.-Mr. Fletcher
Davis, whiskey drummer in the en-
ploy of the North State Distilling
company, was to-day convicted of
soliciting whiskey orders in the city.
A motion for a new trial will be heard
later, pending which sentence has
not been passed.
1t is recalled that Davis was in
Laprens some time ago handing out
circulars and order blanks. His attor-
neys, Cannon & Blackwell, argued
that the act prohibiting this was un-
constitutional in that it conf1icted
with the interstate commerce law on
the subject. They held that their
client was simply advertising his
goods.

-GppD ROADs,--FARM VALUES.

The returns from various states
show that in nearly every case the
states having the highest percentage
of improved roads have the largest
population per mile of road, thus
showing that better roads are
powerful factor in encouraging the
settlement of unused lands, especial
lily in sparsely populated sections of
the country Good roads are also an
important influence in retaining in
the farming districts the desirable
elements who might otherwise DRIFT
into the towns and cities. AS the
price of farm lands depends on their
accessibility to markets
and population engaged, or desiring
to engage, in agricultural pursuits,
it follows that road Improvement, by
attracting additional settlers, and
giving them better facilities for
reaching their markets, directly
tends to increase the value all
farm lands within the radiy the
roads improved.
A comparison of the peNtage of
the improved roads of the various
states shows that the average per
centage of the improved roads in all
states whore farm land is worth
less than 500 per acre is only ] s. per
Rtn
the acreage value is more than $40,
improved roads constitute an aver
age of 9 per cent of the total mil
cage.
While there may be minor causes
of variations in the value of farm
lands it is an undoubted fact that
as a general rule the higher values
of certain states are largely due to
their superior roads. ReovIde on file
in the office of public roads show
that farm lands have been known
to advance in value from 80 to 500
per cent on account of the improve
ment of the roads connecting them
with market towns.
When the facts secured by the de-
partment of agriculture become
known to the farmers of the country
and they realize that the establish
ment of a complete system of prop
erly constructed public roads Will
have the direct effect of greatly in
