NEW CAR BEING USED.
Electric Motor Car Service Inaugu-
rated on Southern Road.

Electric motor car service is now
being given on the line of the South
ern Railway and the Blue Ridge
Railway between Greenville and Al
derson, the intermediate terri:nry
being perhaps the most thicklv set
tied milling section in the South, n
cluding the important points, Pie.i
mont, Pelzer, Williamson and Bel
ton.
Only one motor car is now opera :
ed and two round trips day are
made. Though large number #
stops are made the car has NJ trou.
BILE in making schedule time. The
car now in use is the property Of the
General Electric Company and will
be used until two cars being built
by that company especially for the
Southern Railway are delivered. The
new cars will provide seats for 81
passengers.
The car is run by electricity gen.
Grated by gasoline engine. The
powerful machinery is compactly
placed in the forward end. It IS
easily manipulated and the car is
handled with perfect ease. The
greatest interest is felt throughout
the section in the motor car and it
Is crowded every trip. The first day
it. was greeted by great crowds at
every station. At one place a citi-
zen was so anxious to get view
that he left the barber's chair run-
ming to the station with his face co..
cred with lather.
The new service is in addition to
the steam trains run between Green
Vile and Anderson and is expected to
prove a great convenience. The OPP
Grafton of these cars, the first Of
their kind in the South, will be
watched with great interest.

FlEND'S AWFUL CRIME
ASSAULTED A WHITE LADY AND
SHOT A NEGRO MAN.
The Fiend is Being Hunted BY
Large Crowd and Will Be Lynch
ed When Caught

Many posses have been securing
the woods around Axis. Ala, eigh-
teen miles from Mobile, since short
" after one o'clock Sunday morn
ing for Bill Walker, a negro, who
had been loafing around the mill
town, and who cfiminally assaulted
Mrs. :Nettle Gibson, 81 years of age,
wife of ]. O. Gibson, superintendent
of truck farm.
The negro told Mrs. Gibson a
friend was dead and that he had
been sent to accompany her to the
house, where she was wanted to help
prepare the body. Proceeding few
hundred feet from the Gibson home,
the negro began using his knife and
later accomplished his purpose. The
woman. is badly cut up. Her 8-year-
old brother. Clarence Howell, hear
ing her screams, ran to the scene and
tried to protect his sister. He was
also cut by the negro.
Walker. after forcing Mrs. Gibson
to give him what money she had,
left for the home of Jesse Brown,
another negro. He slipped up to
Browns window and shot him while
asleep. Walker then forced Brown S
wife to accompany him. They have
not been found. Citizens of the COM
munity say that the law will not
be needed if Walker is caught.
Sheriff Drago, has his force work
ing en- the case. The sheriff promis-
ed the citizens If Walker is captur-
ed he would ask Mobile County
Courts to hold a special session to
try him. Walkers crime Is capi-
tai offence in Alabama. Mrs. Glib
son and her brother are not fatally
cut. but Jesse Brown will die. The
neighborhood for miles is stirred up
over the affair.
At midnight Sunday reports reach
ed Mobile that the posse had caught
and shot Walker, the fiend, after he
had been strung up. So the State
will be spared the expense Of trial.

COTTON CROP VERY POOR.
1t Has Suffered from Rain. as Well
rs Drought.

The Memphis Commercial" Appeal
printed this summary OF the cotton
crop on Tuesday: i"
This week gives mixed and rath-
er uncertain returns from the cotton
fields. Considerable improvement at
tendant upon dry weather is shown
i'll Alabama, Tennessee. Mississippi
and Arkansas. while northern Louis
lana is rounding into a state of fair
promise.
The Carolinas and Georgia suf-
fered from heavy rains early in the
week, so that little cultivation was
done on the later days. while Texas
and Oklahoma, without rain, are ap-
preaching time when the crop may
suffer. In fact, some less mas already
been sustained in suothern and
southwestern Texas. 80.
I'm the central and EASTERN STATES
the crop is being laid by" in a rath-
er poor condition, some Oft the fields
still being very grassy. len days
without rain would permit Of a rath-
er considerable improvement, but
the crop has received much less
work than it would have gotten with
normal weather. The plant remains
small and seems late. II has put
on little fruit, and in many places
has not begun to bloom freely. Es-
Inmates on condition seldom run
higher than IS per cent, and are o.
ten below this. There are limited
districts in all the Valley aud At
lantic States, however, that give
good account.

COTTON IN BAD SHAPE
DROUGHT HAS HURT BOTH rEx-
AS AND OKLAHOMA.
There Has Been Some improvement
In the Other States, But the Weed
Is Small.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
published this summary OF the COT
ton crop condition on Monday:
The cotton crop deterioared during
the week in Texas and Oklahoma by
reason Of drought, but improved
elsewhere on an absence Of rain.
The situation in Texas and Okla
homa is fast becoming serious, some
shedding being reported in the dry
est places.
Temperatures were very high at
most times, which makes the lack
of moisture more acute. A good rain
Immediately would help the crop
wonderfully, but its growth and
fruiting has already been arrested.
The fields east of the Mississippi
River are now nearly clean and the
cotton will be laid by" ina fairly
good state Of cultivation. The pro-
cess of cleaning some of them has,
however, been severe and the plant
has not yet recupefated anu drought
continued for long will work great
injury. During the coming week
moderate showers would be help
full.
Reports are irregular. There are
some that are Indifferent and some
that are exceedingly poor. The plant
is genera!y small and is now begin
ming to bloom freely and make bolIs.
It will be cultivated much later thaa
usual, and if the frost date is de-
layed and the August and Septem-
Der moisture supply Is sufficient to
enable the setting of bolls to coll
tinue late. there is yet hope for a
fair or good crop.
Without late autumn reports in
dicate a very moderate out turn in
the valley and Atlantic States.
