At least Is negroes we're killed in
a racial clash In the extreme ea,-
ern section of Anderson county, Tex,
Friday night and Saturday, the Gull
mination of an enmity between the
races brewing for several weeks.
Eighteen is the Eumber Of the dead,
according to more conservative esti-
mates which have reached Palestine
from the isolated section where; the
disorder occurred. Other reports
place the total fatalities at between
go and 40. -;
1t was reported that several white
men were either ki,.e1 Or wounded.
hut each rumor as to casualties
among the whites has met an, au-
authoritative denial. Saturday night
troops reached Palestine and imme-.
diately began an overland march Of
about rs miles to the scene. of the
rioting. The arrival of the soldiers
had a wholesome effect. and the be-
ligerents are reported TO- be dispers-
ing. Further bloodshed will, in. all
probability be averted.
The frat advices of the disturbance
reached Palestine Saturday morning.
Officers were sent to the scene, local
ammunition stores ordered to,'.sus-
pend sales and the saloons closed. 1t
was quickly apparent, however, that
the situation was beyond the control
of the local officers, and troops were
asked for. A company of militia. un-
der command Of Captain Godfrey
Fowler, former, United States army
officer and more recently engaged in
Nicaragua in the cause of the insur-
gents, dispatched: from Marshal,
Texas; arrived Saturday; night. -.
The rioting began near the village
of Slocum. Several reasons are as
signed as the: cause for the racial
feeling. First, the refusal of ne
gro to: pay an obligation on: which
white farmer stood sponsor. This
was some days; ago. .sLater a, white,
man received notice that he should
perform road work under. the super,
vision of a negro. The white, man
refused. .,.,
Later came reports of secret meet
ings among the negroes and, an al
legged confession OF negro that the
murderer Of the. man in question.
James Spurger, and his family; was
planned. The. situation reached a
climax, however, when a. negro. was
discovered advancing on .snurger
from the rear, armed with q shot
gun. He was trailed for some dis
tance and shot by a posse when he
refused to surrender.
With the shooting of the negro
those of both races armed themselves
and the rioting began late Friday
night. throughout the night the
meeting Of parties of the two races,
was the signal for resort to. arms,
fatalities attending many of the en-
counters. Finally the hegroes were
driven to the cover Of a heavily tim
bered section and the crowd of
w:hi.esi about 200 in number formed
into posses and followed scattering
over wide area. AS the small
bands met they clashed and. accord
ing to those returning 10 Palestine in
each instance the negroes were fore
ed to give groud and finally disap-
pearing. -.

A Passenger Train plunges Through .
Burning Tresds Sunday.
THE TRAIN BURNED | N ]. UP
Engineer Hank Taylor and Fireman
simon Dunbar, Colored, Go Down Down.
With Epgine.-slail Clerk Bloom
+. + seriously Hurt.--sixteen Passen-
4 ge.s Slightly Injured.

Passenger Train No. 2, on the
spartanburg division of the Charles
ton and Western Carolina, due to ar
rive in Augusta, from Spartanburg'
Nat SIS p. M, Sunday. ran into a
burning trestle about a mile from
Woodlawn, resulting in the. total de-
struction of the train, the death OF
Engineer Hank Taylor, Of Laurens,
s.. C.. and Fireman Simon Dunbar
colored, of Augusta, and slight IN 1-
Jury to sixteen passengers.
When the train was entering onto
a reverse curve Baggagemaster Geo.
Box; directed the gaze Of Conduc-
tor w. B. Verdery to large volumes
of smoke, which he believed to be
coming from the trestle, then mile
distant from the train, and which
had been burned before. At that
time the FIRE was on the left side OF
the train and could not have been
seen by Engineer Taylor.
Conductor Verdery watched the
smoke until the train had rounded
the reverse curve, when he saw that
the FIRE was on the trestle. Imme-
diately he pulled the danger signal,
and ran from the baggage coach to
the first class passenger coach and
pulled the emergency brake, but al
ready the engine had run onto the
trestle and plunged through to the
little creek below, pulling with it
the tender, baggage car and the
front of one of the passenger
coaches.
The coach, fitting from the wreck
age to the road bed above, formed a
tIe. through which the flames from
the trestle debris were carried to
the train proper, and in less than
five minutes the entire train was
agame. ~ /.
Engineer Taylor . and Fireman
Dunbar went down with the engine,
and were caught under the tender,
which was thrown directly on top
of the engine. Both of these were
either mashed or burned to death.
and the bDdies are still in the wreck
age.
Baggagemaster Box also went
down with his car, but succeeded IN
escaping from the fire with but slight
injuries.
Mail Clerk Bloom, of Spartanburg,
did not leave his car and was SER
iously.. though not fatally, injured.
He remained in the wreckage after
the conclusion, working with his
mail, and succeeded in saving the
bulk of it from the flames.
None of the passengers were In
jured beyond minor cuts and bruises
and Of these the larger number were
among those in the negro coach and
smoker, The white coach escaping
any extensive damage beyond a Sc
we're shake up, until the flames
reached it.
In a statement by Superintendent
Anderson, given out after midnight,
it is shown that the road had reason
to believe that the bridge was fired
and Investigation is being made in
that connection. The last train to
pass over the bridge ahead of the
wreck, was six and a half hours ear
lier and the officials contend that
this does away with any idea Of fall
ing hot Goals starting the trestle fire.

BIG IMPETUS GIVEN
TO GROWING OF RUBBER

Washington.-An echo of the boom
in rubber that extends all around the
world is given in a report from Con-
sui General James T. Dubois at Singa-
pore. An increase in demand has
caused extremely high prices in the
rubber markets and one result has
been the planting of rubber trees on
tremendous scale wherever the
soil favors its growth
Du Bois says that the eastern rub
Der boom has caused the floatation of
70 companies with 35 million shares,
capitalized at nearly $50, 900 gold
The amount actually expended by the
companies the Consul General says,
represents only a modest part of the
total value set upon these properties
by the specializing world.
Wide reaches of waste land on the
island at Singapore, formerly used
in the, growth of coffee and pepper
are being planted with thousands of
rubber plants. In Malacca there were
formerly many square miles of land
covered with lalang, the hiding place
of the tigers, which have been trans
formed into fine rubber plantations.
Rubber has transformed Malacca
which has for years been largely
neglected into a flourishing and pros
porous community.

, Spokane. wash.-Recognizing the
Importance of the dry farming con-
gress and international exposition, the
United states government has decid-
ed to make large display of the
products of its experiment stations
and demonstration farms in Spokane
the week of October 3. The exhibit
will be the most comprehensive OF
its kind ever displayed at a world
exposition.
Professor G. H. Powell, chief of
the bureau of plant industry OF the
department OF agriculture, has ap-
pointed Professor E. L. Adams OF the
station at Philbrook, Mont, to take
charge of collecting and installing the
governments exhibit, which will oc-
cupy space Of GO lineal feet in the

Professor Adams promises an ex-
hibition that will arouse the enthusi-
asm of the most skeptical," said Mar
tin J. Vessels, superintendent of ex-
hibits and the result will be thai
greater acreage in the semi-arid states
will be devoted to farming in the fu.
ture. The government will show con-
elusive proof of the value of thi:
modern method of tillage with its dis
play.

THE WHEAT MARKET
CASH DEMAND ON FOREIGN
MARKET STIFF,ENS WHEAT
Minneapolis Continues to Be Heavy
Buyer; Farmers Hold for Higher;
Provisions Strong.

Chicago, Aug. 26.-An active cash
demand in all foreign markets, cou-
pied with steady buying orders from
Minneapolis millers and the persist
ent reports of unfavorable weather
conditions in the big wheat raising
districts, had an undeniably bullish ef-
feet on the market today.
Liverpool and Paris prices closed
1-4@3-s higher, quotations being
largely influenced by adverse weather
reports. Paul Morton cabled from
Paris that the French wheat crop
would be a total failure.
At Kansas City the market was only
is below Chicago, as against 4 Is
week ago. Minneapolis mills took
nearly every lot OF September and
December wheat offered, an addition
al cash demand sent prices soaring.
The Modern Miller says the winter
wheat threshing is about finished, and
that the farmers are disposed to hold
their corps for higher prices.
The provision market turned strong
on brisk buying orders.

WOMEN DEFY POLE MEN.
Philadelphia Company Finds Hole Re.
filled and Flag Floating Over IL

Philadelphia.-Ass by the wo-
men of the neighborhood Mrs. Joseph
Smith of 1040 Pine street, Darby,
shoveled back dirt into a hole that
laborers dug in front of her property
with the intention of planting sixty
foot pole for the Delaware County Ell
ectric company Then the women
stuck an American flag on top of the
little pile of earth and defied the la
borers to remove 1t.
The husband of Mrs. Smith stood
guard over the place all night with a
shotgun. But the victory was really
won by the women. They assert that
the poles should be placed on the op.
posite side of the street. where there
are no houses; that they are too high
anyway and that the company might
have planted them along another
street.

GLOOMY OUTLOOK
FOR CATTLEMEN
NO SINGLE SALE IN
PORTLAND STOCKYARDS
Low Prices Force Men of Ranges to
Hold Output and High Priced Hay
Must Be Fed Until Market Rises.

Portland Union Stock Yards, North
Portland, Aug. 26.-No single sale
broke the monotony here today and
livestock receipts were again exceed
ingly light. The cattle market is ex-
ceedingly quiet and growers and COM
mission men alike are at loss for a
satisfactory explanation of the stag
nant conditions that prevail.
There has been a disposition in
some quarters to ascribe the low
prices being quoted to the inferior
quality of the animals brought to the
yards. A cattleman who has brought
$4,000 head Of beef makers this year
and still has the majority OF his pur-
chases on his hands does not coincide
with this view.
"The cattle we have offered for sale
here" said he, "are by no means of
first class quality but they will COM
pare favorably with ne offerings of
preceding years. 1t is simply an off
year for the beef industry.
"Cattlemen are growing almost dis
couraged. Coupled with the poor de-
mand is the long drought that has
cut off the supply of feed o nthe ma
tive ranges. Most of us have been
compelled to feed hay already and
hay is bidding fair to reach a record
figure his fall
zone big stockman of Shaniko
brought in several car loads of beef
the other day and was SO disappoint-
ed at the prices offered for his cat
tie that he shipped them back to the
range paying the freight both ways
and losing $40, which he has no hope
of making up"
