METHOD TO MARKET CROP.
New Orleans Cotton Dealer Has
New Plan.

A dispatch from New Orleans says
w. B. Thompson, president of the
New Orleans cotton exchange and
head of the cotton firm of w. B.
Thompson & Co., of that city, has
issued a circular letter to farmers,
wherein he offers a new plan for
the marketing of the cotton crop.
He urges farmers to market their
crops at the rate of 10 per cent a
month. According to Mr.. Thompson
this would create a stable market
for both buyer and seller.
Mr.. Thompson says in part:
Let the producer of cotton mar
ket 10 per cent of his crop each
month for 10 months. An instant
of reflection will convince any
thoughtful man that whether the
crop on the market be large or small
and whether a hundred planters or
a hundred thousand employ the
method, the result will be better
than if the crop were sold at once
or the attempt made to hold it all.
If the plan is good for n planter,
it is good for all, and if all or any
great number Of planters adopt it,
the problem of marketing the crop
is solved"

WANTS HIS NECK BROKEN.
A White Fiend Attacks a Young
Negro Girl Twice.

A special to The News and Courier
from Spartanburg says an unknown
white man attempted to make a
criminal assault on a young colored
girl at East Spartanburg Saturday
afternoon. He was caught by the
father Of the girl and given a
severe whipping and then released
and told to leave the country. 1t
is said that this is the second at
tempt Of the kind by the man, and
the white people of the community
regret that the girls father let him
get away, claiming that he should
have been turned over to the au-
thorities. The assault caused the
report to be circulated in the city
that a race riot was on, and the
deputy sheriff and a large crowd of
citizens hurried out to East Spartan
burg to prevent trouble.

Hurt Seriously in Jumping.
A dispatch from Edgemere. Long
Island, says in a fire which destroyed
the Holmeshurst Inn there before
daylight Monday morning seventy
five guests and twenty employees ex-
perienced exciting and narrow es-
capes.
The fire, which the proprietor
said, was of incendiary origin, start
ed in the basement and worked up
through the frame structure so rap
idly that the entire first floor was
ablaze before the guests were given
the alarm.
While most of the guests were
able to leave by stairways, half a
dozen, among them two women, leap
ed from a second-story balcony, but
were not seriously hurt.
The guests were cared for in
%neighboring cottages. The hote.
building was valued at $4,000.
William Holmes, son of the owner
ran to his mothers room on the
second floor and found his escape
cut off by a wall of flames. They
we're forced to jump, but were moi
hurt. An elevator boy ran his Cal
until the flames stopped the car.

Explorer Aboard Steamer to Hurry

A dispatch from Battle Harbor'
Labrador, says the following details
Of Commander Peary's journey to
the North Pole have been CLEANED
from members of the expedition on
board the steamer Roosevelt:
The only men to reach the Pole
were Commander Peary and n
Eskimo, Eging Wah, by name. the
other white members Of the various
parties that left Capt Columbia
were sent back one by one as MI.
Peary drew nearer daily to his OBJ
iect. Mathew Henson, Mr.. Peary's
negro attendant, and three Esklmos'
the only other members of the reduc-
ed party that made the final dash,
we're left on the march south OF the
Pole.
At S5.3S the party consisted OF
Mr.. Peary, Capt. Bartlett, Matthew
Henson, a negro man, who has been
Mr.. Peary's personal assistant on so
many of his expeditions, the Eskl-
mos. seven sledges and sixty dogs
and the journey north was resumed.
The ice was perfectly level as far
as the eye could see.
Capt. Bartlett took the obserVa-
ton on the 8Sth parallel on April
8, and then reluctantly returned,
leaving Mr.. Peary, Henson and the
Eskimos with provisions for forty
days to make the final dash to the
Pole.
This reduced party started on
April g.. The men walked that day
for ten hours and made twenty
miles. Then they slept near the
seth parallel. The Pole was reach
ed on April 6, and a series of obser-
yations we're taken at go.
Mr.. Peary deposited his records
and hoisted the American flag. The
temperature vas 80 degrees below
zero.
The Pole appeared as a frozen
sea. Mr.. Peary tried to take sound
ings, but got no bottom at 1900
fathoms. Mr.. Peary stayed at the
Pole for t%hirty-four hours and then
started on his return journey on
April 7.

CITY MARSHALL KILLED
BY a Blow From Young Man He
Had Put Under Arrest.

At Jesup, Ga, Marshal G.. B. Pope,
was killed Saturday afternoon by
a blow over his heart in a desper-
ate struggle with Edward Tyre,
Brantly Tyre and James Tyre, promi-
nent young white men, whom he was
attempting to arrest.
1t is not known which one of the
Tyres inflicted the fatal blow. All
were arrested as they attempted to
escape, and lodged in Wayne coun-
ty Jail.
Intense feeling exists against the
young men. The officer was attempt

disorderly conduct.

Hasn't DIR. Cooks Records.

A dispatch from New York says
the following wireless and cable
message has been received in that
city:
Battle Harbor, Labrador, via Cape
Ray, N. F., September IL.
81 have no knowledge of DR..
Cooks having given Mr.. Whitney
any records. There are no Cook
records on the Roosevelt.
(Signed) "Peary.'
In Copenhagen, DR.. Frederick A.
Cook declared that he had given TO
Harry Whitney, the wealthy young
big game hunter, part of the records
of his observations on his return
from the North Pole to Etah, Green
land. DR.. Cook asserted that Mr.
Whitney would bring the records
to this country.
Commander Robert E. Peary OF
his return from the Pole, a year
subsequent to that of DR.. Cook,
picked up Mr.. Whitney at Etah, and
was bringing him south on the
Roosevelt when they met the relief
ship JEANNE, to which Mr.. Whitney
was transferred to continue his
hunting for a few weeks in Bafhn S
bay.
1t was confdentally expected by
mr. rnoL'c crnportorc horo thot Mr.
Whitney had turned these records
w to Commander Peary, and that
the latter would bring them to this
country with him.
While it is certain that Command
er Peary will receive a notable re-
ception on his arrival in New York
City, all plans are merely tentative,
as nothing definite Is yet known as
to when he will reach that city. One
report states that the Roosevelt will
be able to leave Battle Harbor be-
fore the end of this week, while
another states that it can hardly de-
part from there before the end of
the month.
In any event, New York antici-
pates the livliest few weeks in many
years, when the rival explorers do
come. DR.. Cook is due on September
Fl, and four days later the Hudson
Fulton celebration begins, and in
this, it is expected, that Polar
ment will be forced to a conspicuous
position. The illfeeling between the
more ardent supporters of Command
er Peary and DR.. Cook is character
lied by much bitterness and harsh
language. Many of them are urg-
Ing the publication of accusations
and recriminations and the fight
promises to create much enduring
unpleaSantness.

LITTLE GIRL IS MURDERED.
Two Other Children Badly Wound.
ed-NO Clue to the Crime.

A dispatch from Utica, N. Y,
says a crime for which there, at
present, appears to be no explana-
ton, was committed against three
Italian children there a few nights
ago.
They are Theresa Procipo, seven
years old, who Is dead. shot through
the heart; Fannie Infusino, six years
old. badly wounded in the arm, and
Freddy Infusino. two and a half
years old, shot through the bowels
and will die.
There appears to be absolutely no
explanation as to why the children
were shot. The children had been
missing since 7 O'Clock Sunday
evening, when they were seen talking
with an unknown man.

our people to 90 back to first princi-
pies, in other words, force them to
cut out Western corn and raise their
corn supply at home. 1t seems that
something just like this was re1uir-
ed to bring Southern farmers to their
senses. Some people can be con-
WINGED only by knock-down argu'
ments, and pellagra is n that
seems to be of that kind.
The Sun Is right. Corn has been
the staple food Of the South too
long to allow any room for con-
demning 1t wholesale as has been
done by hasty thinkers. But it was
homegrown corn that was eaten and
home-ground, too, until a few years
ago when the markets of the South
were invaded by the products OF
the steam rolling mill. The house.
keepers who insist on getting the
coarse meal of the local mill will
probably make no mistake and may
rest assured that they are eating
one of the finest food-stuffs given
by God. In the meantime there Is
no subject more urgent for the at
ef the pure food experts
than the corn meal on the market.

The Sumter Waterman and South

another negro man were killed by
lightning Friday afternoon while
riding on a wagon load of cotton,
which was being carried from the
field to the gin house on the farm
of Mr.. T. H. Clarke, near Mechanics
vile. Another negro who was lying

Criticises Peary.

The Paris Temps severely criti-
cises Commander Peary's broadcast
accusations against DR.. Cook, as
we'll as his general grandiloquent
attitude" saying of it: "Peary's
patriotic declaration about taking
possession of the pole in the name of
the President of the United States
contrasts strongly with the CONNER
cial spirit he displayed in copyright
ing the story"

most substantial citizens of Laurens
county, was found dead in his buggy
late Tuesday afternoon. the news of

Peary's Boatswain Confirms Cooks State
ment Of the Looting Of His Stores.
PEARY BADLY EQUIPPED
DIR. Cooks and Franke's Collection
of Relics Were Taken by Peary-
Admiral Schley Endorses DR.. COOK
as Does Capt. Osborn, Secretary OF
the Artic Club.

A dispatch from st. Johns, N. F.,
says Alan Written, who was boat
swain of the Peary auxialiary steam
err Erik in 1906 and again In 1908,
adds his quota to the polar contro-
versy. On his expeditions he So"
much of Peary and knew Of Peary's
plans. He was also on the Erik In
the summer of 1907 when she lay
for a week in Sydney alongside the
schooned Jno. R. Bradley, in which
DR.. Cook was starting for the pole.
Written says that the Bradley was
abundantly equipped for Cooks ex-
petition, having supplies for at least
three years. He confirms the charges
made by DR.. Cook at Copenhagen
that Peary's people took. DR.. Cooks
provisions, adding that not only did
the crew of the ship take Cooks
stores at Etah, but that boats were
sent to Annatok, thirty miles distant,
to remove Cooks provisions which
were stored there.
Written admitted however that he
did not know If this removal was by
arrangement between FRANKIE, who
was left in charge of the provisions
and Peary or Peary's representatives.
The boatswain also made the
statement that both Franke's and
Cooks collections of ivory and skins,
some of them very valuable, likewise
were taken. He said that the trou-
BILE with Peary's previous expeditions
had been the lack of supplies. In
stead of remaining away for three
years, Commander Peary was COM
PEELED to return after about fifteen
months, the real reason, Written de-
clared, that he did not have enough
supplies to remain longer.
Naval Officers Endorse Cook.
A dispatch from New York says
previous assumption that Comman-
der Peary would have the United
States Navy solidly behind him was
not borne out in a letter from Rear
Admiral Schley, made public by Capt.
B. s. Osborn, secretary of the Artic
Club of America, of which DR.. Cook
Is a member. The letter under date
of September II from Pocono Manor,
Pa, runs in part IS follows:
II like Cooks attitude immensely
in this unfortunate, unnecessary and
unwise controversy. He certainly has
been dignifed and manly in the
stand he has taken in this matter.
Capt. Osborn followed up his let
ter from the admiral with a lecture
on "Who Discovered the North
Pole?"
"Dr. Frederick A. Cook" he said,
Twas for two years my wife's ply
sician. I saw him two or three
times a week and we chatted many
hours. If l have ever known a mai
Of integrity, probity, sincerity and
modesty, it Is Cook.
II have known also the other man
known him to depart from truth
by large margins"
1t is now admitted by Peary him.
self, that only one Esquino was at
the pole with him. Cook had three
with him.
