ACCUSED OF BURNING VICTIMS
Blorckader Burned Victims In Fur
mace of His DistiIIery.

Raleigh, N. c., Oct. 10.-Govern-
or Kitchin offered to-day reward
for Will Mcintyre, wanted in Ruth
erford county for a most notable
series of crimes. He operated a
blockade distillery and 1t is now
believed that he committed three
murders for the purpose of robbery
and burned the bodies of his vic
Tins in the furnace of his distiI-
lery.
]. H. Milton disappeared Septem-
Der 7, 1906, and in November of
the same year J. d. Atchley dis
appeared and in 1908 there was
a similar disappearance of L. b.
Hines, each having been known to
be at the blockade still just prior
to their disappearance. 1t is only
since the conviction of Mcintyre
for the blockading the service of
his sentence and his disappearance
that suspicion has pointed to him
as the perpetrator of the series of
murders, and Solicitor A. Hall
johnson and numerous citizens of
the section join in asking for the
Heward by the State.
1t Is alleged that human bones
have been found that were from the
furnace of the distillery. Mcintyre
Is described as 25 years old, sal
low, dark hair and eyes, crippled so
that he ordinarily walks with one
hand on his knee. He is believed
to have had accomplices in the
murders. The reward is $500.

SERIOUS COTTON DISEASE.
Antlrucnose, And How to Handle
It.

There is a disease of cotton
which is yearly attracting increas-
ed attention throughout the cotton
Delt. 1t is known as cotton an
thracnose. 1t is most easily recog-
nized when on the boil, where it
forms ulcer-like spots, which, as
they age, become pink in the cen
ters. The spot may enlarge so as
TO affect the whole boil. The de-
ceased part of the boil usually fails
to open and often the contents rot.
Enquiries from various sections of
the State are being received al
most daily at the experiment sta
tlon concerning the disease 1t has
also been especially severe in Ala
bama and Georgia during recent
years, so severe in the latter State
that the Legislature has made a
large special appropriation for it's
investigation.
Although the disease is seen and
recognized most prominently on the
Dolls, 1t also occurs on the leaves
and stems. Cotton growers should
know that the disease is carried
from sick boil, even though very
diseased, may raise a dis
eased plant, and this in turn may
spread the disease to the whole of
season. There is no satisfactory
treatment, and the one point to be
remembered is that seed from dis
eased fields is likely to carry the
disease, in fact, almost sure to do
so. Even seed from clean fields
which has passed through a gin in
which diseased cotton has been
ginned is dangerous. 1t is of ut
most importance for the grower to
be sure that his cotton seed does
not come from a field or from a re-
giOn where this disease nreYails

COMING GINNING REPORT.
Bearish Figures Are Expected -
Movement and Spot Demand Also
to be Watched.

New Orleans, Oct. Is - The most
important factor to be considered in
the cotton market the coming week
probably will be the next report on
ginning, to ne issued by the census
bureau Wednesday week. The re-
port will cover the period through
Tuesday.
Bearish figures are expected, but
public opinion will be influenced
largely by the bureau report this
week. The ginning report will be
the mos: comprehensive one issued,
as the previous reports dealt large
ly with early sections.
The movement and spot demand
both viii be carefully observed this
week for anticipated new develop
mepts. 1t is claimed that the lack
OF spot demand Is causing a falling
off ih the movement also, that the
FEELING among spinners that they
are secure in not buying is respon-
sihle for the poor inquiry.
Spinners are expected to hold off,
pending the census report on gin
ming, both in the hope that prices
will work lower and in order to get
a better line on the crop.
The weather will be an important
factor, as cold weather is not un-
expected.
A cold snap would have more ef-
feet on the market sentiment than
on the crop, as no material damage
would result from frost on account
of the crops advanced condition.
A strong sentiment, however,
PROBABLY will be aroused by frost.

BLEASE DENIES CLEMENCY.
Samuel Hyde Will Hang Unless
Appeal to Supreme Court is Ef-


Anderson, October 13. - Special
A telegram received here to-day
from Governor Blease brought the
intelligence that he will not inter
fere in the Samuel Hyde case. The
telegram came to Leon L. Rice. who
was appointed by the Court to de-
fend Hyde, and who formulated
the petitions, which were freely
signed, asking the Governor to COM
mute the death sentence to life i'm
prlsonment. A counter petition
was circulated by Mrs w v.
Beasley, mother and wife of Hyde's
victims, in the Orr Mills village,
where the double crime was COM
mitted. This petition was signed by
several hundred persons.
Hyde killed his wife and her
father on the night of July IS, was
at a recent term of
Court and was sentenced to hang
on Friday, October 20, one week
from tomorrow. Hyde will not
hang on this day, however. as at
torney Rice has already served no.
tice on Solicitor Bonham of an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court. The
appeal will hardly be heard by
that tribunal until next January,
and it is likely that decision will
be handed down until too late for
the prisoner to be re-sentenced at
the January term of Criminal Court,
should the lower court be sustain
ed. In that event, and if the lower
Courts judgment, Hyde will be re-
sentenced next may.
Hyde sent for Attorney Rice yes
terday, and stated that he under
stood the Governor had stated he
would not interfere with the death
sentence. Hyde said he was
ready to die, and that if Mr.. Rice
did not care to proceed further
TO let the matter stand as it is
with the fight that he was willing
to let the matter stand as it is and
go to the gallows on the day set. /
Mr.. Rice told Hyde that he had de- |
term1ned to make as good fight for
MIN as he would fer a wealthy /
client; that the court had appoint !
ed him to conduct this case, and al |
though Hyde and his family have ,
no money to pay the expense of the |
he intended to carry the
appeal up. Hyde then stated that
he was willing to do what the at
torney thought best in the matter:
that he was willing for the appeal
to be perfected, or he is willing for
the execution to take place on the
10th instant. The appeal Is being
perfected

PRAYER OF BEATTIE JURY
Opinion OF jury Guided by :Suppos-
edly Supernatural Influence, De-
clares Prof. EccIes.

Washington, Oct. 6. - Calling
the prayer of the Beattie jury IAN
exhibition of spiritualism," and de-
clar1ng the use of prayer in a
court of law brought in elements
which should be kept out, Prof.
Eccles, speaking before the Secular
League at Pythian Temple, upheld
the contention that Henry Clay
Beattie was entitled to another
trial.
His address was based upon an
washington Herald, in which this
question was raised Prof Eccles
disagreed with the lawyers quoted
in this article as to the aptness or
wisdom of prayer before taking bal
lot on the question of acquital or
conviction with death.
He compared the prayer of the
jury (which had been directed by
the court to render it's verdict ac-
cording to the evidence to the
tossing of dice. Neither assisted
them In considering the facts in
the case, he declared, and both
were prejudiced to the interests of
the defendant.
THE action of the Beattie jury"
continued Prof. Eccles, was neith-
er more nor less than downright
spiritualism. Notwithstanding the
fact that spiritualism is not recog-
hized by any court of law. This
jury allowed it's opinion to be guild
ed by a supposedly supernatural in
fluence, leaving the facts in the
case as of secondary consideration.
'If a man is to be tried by law
and evidence, let him be tried by
law and evidence. If he is to be
tried by prayer, let him be tried by
prayer. But If he enter a court of
law and at the last moment it de-
velops that he is to be tried by
prayer, it seems self evident that a
grave injustice is being done him"
