CLUE TO MURDER MYSTERY.
Chinaman Arrested May Know Some
thing of Elsie Siegel's Death.

New York, Sept. 2.-The unsolved
mystery of the murder of Elsie Sic
gel, now more than two years old,
one more claimed attention to-
day following the arrest of a Chinese
by migration inspectors, who last
night raided a restaurant in Hoboken.
Although the immigration authori-
ties declined to explain what relation,
if any, the arrest had with the Siegel
case, it was reported to-day that the
police had found an important clue.
Ostensibly the prisoner, Gee Cow,
was arrested on suspicion Of having
smuggled fellow countrymen into the
United States in violation of the i'm
migration laws.
Elsie Siegel was granddaughter
of Gen. Franz Siegel. Her body,
bearing unmistakable marks Of vio-
lence, was found in trunk in a
Chinese resort and the search for her
murderer was conducted almost
exclusively in Chinese settlements
throughout the country. Although
several arrests were made, no defin-
ite clue was ever obtained.

Disposition of Feedstuffs Damaged
During Storm?

Columbia, Sept. 1.-Another bad
effect of the storm on the coast Sun
day night is coming to light in letters
from commission merchants in Char
lesion to Commissioner E. ]. Wat
son, inquiring about disposition OF
feedstuffs which were damaged on
board the ships as they were being
brought to port.
A letter received from a well
known firm of commission merchants
in Charleston to-day states that a
large quantity of feedstuffs had been
damaged in a steamer during the
storm. Commissioner Watson will at
once have an inspector take samples
of the damaged stuffs, have them
analyzed, and if they are found not
to be dangerous for food, he will al
low them to be sold as damaged
goods.

CONDITION OF COTTON.
Low Percentage Shown for Bamberg
and Barnwell.

Bamberg, Sept. 3.-Talks with
farmers from various parts of Bam-
berg county reveal the fact that there
has been a great deterioration in the
cotton crop since the middle of July.
It is conservatively estimated that
the crop which at that time gave
promise of a full 100 per cent. re-
turn, will now a show falling off
of at least 80 per cent. and possibly
a great deal more in some sections.
Taken generally the crops in the
county are better than last season,
for some sections made almost COM
plete failures then, while now the
whole county has about 70 per cent.
of crop.
This week has played havoc with
the cotton, rain having fallen every
day for the past week, and it has
been impossible to gather the open
cotton, which has resulted in much
sprouting in the bolls.

EFoct at Now Orleans

Effect at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Sept 1.-The bullish
report of the condition of the grow
ing cotton crop issued by the depart
ment of agriculture to-day fell fiat
as a market factor. AT the highest
the trading months, after the report
was out, were only 10 to % points
over yesterdays close. December,
the most active month on the boards,
rose 26 points, following the report.
Just before the figures were out it
stood 5 points under yesterdays
finals; a little later it was FL points
over.
s The percentage of condition of 1872
on August 25 was more than 2 points
under the average expectation in this
market. There was a pool on the
cotton exchange on :. the figures and
their average of nearly 100 guesses
in the pool was 1873, Or 2.6 points
over the actual figures.
s.: Following the reports there was
heavy selling, which the gossip of
the market said was chiefly for short
account. 1t held the market from
making the advance that seemed
justified. The close was at a net ad-
vance of to IL points.

PAYS PENALTY FOR MURDER.
William Rouse Hanged in Georgia
for Brutal Crime.

Sylvester, Ca, Sept. 1.-William
Rouse to-day paid the death penalty
for the murder of William Bailey in
1909. He was hanged at the Jail
here, while the crowd, estimated at
500 people, surrounded the building.
After long visit from a clergy
man, Rouse walked to the scaffold,
unassisted and without a culver. In
a brief talk to inmates Of the jail
and officers, he stated that he was
prepared to meet his Judge.
The crime for which Rouse was
convicted is one of the most brutal
in the States criminal annals. Ac-
cording to the States evidence, Rouse
attacked Bailey after quarrel in
the formers home, and while the vic
tim was unarmed. After wounding
his victim, who fell PROSTATE on the
floor, Rouse is said to have severed
Bailey's jugular vein and windpipe
with a knife. Rouse then placed a
pistol in Bailey's right hand, over
looking the fact that Bailey's right
arm had been shattered by bullet.
Having made sure of Bailey's death,
Rouse drank a bottle of whiskey,
while he sang "Bill Bailey Won't Be
Home"

The Situation in BarnWell.

Barnwell, Sept. 3.-Owing to the
spotted condition of the cotton crop
in Barnwell county an acurate esti-
mate would be practically impossible.
The crop had been greatly damaged
by the long drought and while hurt
by the recent storm, later reports are
to the effect that the damage is not
as great as was was first feared.
However, the yield will be below the
average, and a conservative estimate
at this time would put the condition
between 60 and 10 per cent. Old cot
ton is opening rapidly, and more
damage was done to it than to the
younger plants, as much of the staple
was blown out on the ground and
damaged by the heavy rainfall of the
past several days.

SERIOUS MISTAKE.
A Boy Shoots a Lady Taking Her for
Burglar.

The Florence Times says a most
lamentable tragedy occurred in Tim
monsville during the night Wednes-
day night. A small boy, thinking
that he was defending his home, was
the cause of the wounding Of a we'll
known young lady.
The lady was Mrs. Julia Oakley,
and she is now in the Florence mfr
mary not expected to live, with
horrible gun shot wound in the abb
domen.
The boy was the nine-year-old son
of Mr.. George Evans, resident of
Timmonsville. Mrs. Oakley, who Is
a daughter of Mr.. Henry Oakley, who
lives within a mile or two of the
town, was spending the night at the
Evans home. Having occasion to 90
into the ya~d during the night she
went noiselessly, and the suspicious
of the boy were aroused, there hav-
ing been a number of reports of rob-
berries recently.
He fired towards her in the dark
with the fatal effect above reported.
The dreadful error was soon discov-
cred and everything in the world
done to relieve the sufferings of the
young lady.
Thursday morning DR.. Eaddy
brought her to the Infirmary at Flor
ence where she could get constant
and skilled attention.
The tragedy has cast gloom over
Timmonsville, and the deepest SYM
pathy is felt for the boy who caused
the sad tragedy.

incident.
Up to the Vanquished.
He was not detained and consid-
ers the incident closed unless the
four clerks demand an investigation.
Representative Carter assailed the

fists, and when three of the young
mans companions came to their
friends aid the Oklahoma congress-
man brought his walking stick into
play and welded it vigorously until
he was master Of the field. He de-
clares the clerk thought Miss Garter

COTTON CONDITION.
Sixteen Points Below Last Govern
ment Report.

Washington, Sept. Ia total pro-
duction of 12,91S,200 bales of cot
ton, as the final yield this year, is
indicated by the department of agrl-
cultures official report of the condl-
ton of the growing crop on August
25, which the crop reporting board,
from reports from it's correspondents
and agents throughout the cotton
belt, estimated to-day at 1872 pei
cent. of a normal.
The estimate based on the ratio
of the average yield for the past ten
years to the average condition of the
crop on August 25, for the past ten
years, would mean final yield OF
1876 pounds per acre on the plant
ed area of approximately 34,000,0OO
acres, allowing for an abandoned
acreage of 100000 and provided
the crop does not decline or improve
from the date the condition was estl-
mated to time of picking.
Estimates Not Official.
These estimates of production
while unofficial, were reckoned by
the official method adopted by the
department of agriculture, and used
by the crop reporting board in it's
monthly estimates of the final yield
of the important cereal crops of the
country.
Unofficial advices from the cotton
belt indicate the most important de-
clines in the crop were due to severe
droughts, hot winds and worms. Re-
ports indicate that heavy shedding
caused by hot weather was the chief
factor of deterioration in practically
all States except Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi, where there was too much
rain. In all other States heat and
drought greatly damaged cotton dur
ing the month, especially in Texas
and Oklahoma.
Improved Since, PerhapS.
Since the date on which the con-
dition was taken-August 25-there
have been rains which greatly reliev-
ed conditions and considerable i'm
provement is looked for when the
October report is issued.
The condition of the growing cot
ton crop on August rs was 1872 per
cent. of a normal, as compared with
S9.1 per cent. on July 25, 1911; 72.1
per cent. on August 25, 1910; 68.7
per cent. on August 25, 1909; 63.7
