Man Found Dying.

Allendale, Nov. 18.-An unknown
man who gave as his name as James
White, and thought to be Williams
Emerson, of Endicott, n. Y, wife
murderer, was found in dying con-
dition in one of the section houses
of the Charleston & Western Carolina
Railway near Appleton, a station a
few miles from this place, Thursday
night. He wore a Masonic ring, and
convinced those present that he was
a Mason. A physician was summoned
at once, and after strychnine had
been inserted in his arm, he revived
for the moment, but died few hours
later. He stated that. he came from
Binghampton, N. Y, that his mother
was living, and that he had a broth
or, G.. L. Emerson, a locomotive en-
gineer, at Sayre, N. Y. He also said
he was a member of Masonic lodge
No. 1T of Binghampton, N. Y. He
was, he stated, a workman of tfc
Vaughn Construction company OF
Clio, Ca, and that before he came
here he had been working with tae
crew that is building bridge for
the Seaboard Railway across the Sa-
vannah river, and there he took ma
larial fever and left few days ago.
The local lodge of Masons took
charge of his body and buried it in
the Mt. Arnon cemetery near here.
He was about 35 years of age, five
feet ten inches tall, of fair complex
ion and dark brown hair.
From the reports received from
Binghampton, n Y, it seems that
tha dead man is Williams Emerson.

HOLDING MAY FORCE PRICE UP.
Campaign of Cotton Farmers Gives
Much Concern.

New Orleans, Nov. 19.-This week
the cotton market will again strug-
gle with market reports, and it is
hard to tell now how they will affect
prices. Tuesday morning at 8
o'clock, the census bureau will issue
report; on ginning up to the close
of business on November 13, and Sat-
urday morning it will give out re-
port on the supply and distribution
of cotton up to November /.
The report on ginning has caused
a great deal Of guess work, but the
trade is undoubtedly looking for
rather bullish figures. There was a
tendency to predict figures of 12,-
100000 bales, but the average ex-
pectation at the end of the week ap-
peared to be for about l 800, 900
bales.
1t is claimed that the weather in
terfered with the handling of cotton
this last period, although many peo-
pie contend that enough cotton was
store in the seed to keep the gins
running full blast. 1t is not i'm
probable that the holding movement
has had something to do with keep
ing the amount of cotton ginned
down. Many kilograms were receiv-
ed, from different parts of the belt
during the week, stating that farm
ers were holding seed cotton as we'll
as baled cotton. In this way the
crop is picked, but the yield is not
counted.
One reason for holding cotton this
way is the prevalent belief that it
increases the percentage of the yield
of lint at the the expense of the seed.
The report on supply and distribu-
ton is not likely to cause much
stir, although once in great while
one Of these reports contain some
thing that sets the market by the
ears. The chances are, however, that
it will have little effect one way or
the other.
The holding movement and the
spot demand will be watched closely.
The holding movement is having
more effect on the market than most
people imagine, and if it grows much
stronger it can hardly help putting
prices up. 1t may be that demand
to fill end of the month shipments
of actual cotton will develop this
week. If it does, the advantage will
be with the bull side.

HAMPTON GIRL ASSAULTED
ENRAGED POSSE OF FOUR HUN.
DRIED IN PURSUIT.
Negro Fiend' Shoots and Seriously
Wounds j. r. Fits, Member
of Pursuing Party.

Hampton, Nov. 21.-A criminal
assault upon a 14-year-old white
girl of respectable family on the c..
& W C. railroad near Hampton this
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, by a negro
brute named Dave Rivers, has caus-
ed a fever of excitement here to-
night. An enraged posse of some
400. citizens of Hampton, Brunson,
Varnville and the community is
securing the woods in search Of the
villain. John Reid Fits, manager
of the telephone company of Hamp-
ton, was shot about 5 O'Clock from
ambush by the negro and Is serious
ly wounded.
The attack was made upon the lit
tie girl at the home of the girls
father. The screams of the girl at
tracted the attention of her father,
who was working in the field near
the house and when he came to her
assistance the negro fled. The child
was attacked in a cruel manner, but
the negro failed in his purpose. Up
to this hour, II o'clock, the negro
has not been caught although de-
termined effort is being made to trace
him with bloodhounds from Barn
we'll county.
One of the searching party, j.
Reid Fits. was wounded by the ne
gro who shot from a clump of bushes
and continued his flight into the
woods.

VICTIM NOT IDENTIFIED.
Unknown Man, Struck by Train, Dies
in Columbia.

Columbia, Nov. 16.-An unknown
man was struck by Southern passen-
ger train No. 35 this morning, near
the Fairfield county line, and fatally
injured, death resulting after the man
had been put aboard the train and
brought here. His skull was fractur-
ed above the left ear and his left leg
broken, he never having regained
consciousness to the time Of his
death. The body is held at local
undertaking establishment and ef-
forts are being made to identify the
unknown man.
The man was said to have been
sitting on the end of cross-tie, APP
parently asleep, and evidently did not
hear the approach of the train, the
pilot of the locomotive striking him
and throwing the body clear Of the
track. He was placed in the bag
gage car and brought here, but died
as the train. pulled into the union
station.
The dead man was dressed in a
suit of blue overalls and in his hand
carried bundle of underclothing
wrapped in manila paper, which had
printed in two places the name
&C. A. Carter, Smiths Postoface.
Smiths is a station on the Charlotte
division of the Southern, between
Chester and Rock Hill. The coat
which the man wore had the name
H. NJ. Lewis, Staunton, Va.," print
ed on a slip of cloth sewn inside the
collar band, evidently the house
which sold the coat.
The man was about five feet, ten
inches in height, clean shaven and
with no marks of dissipation. It is
simply. a matter of conjecture that
he was cotton mill operative, wan
dering towards Columbia in search
of work, and had stopped on the side
of the railroad track to rest awhile
when he was struck by the train and
killed.
Magistrate Fowles stated late this
afternoon that he had communicated
with Mr. Carter, merchant at
Smiths and the storekeeper said he
knew 20 one answering the descrip-
ton o. lie dead man. The boGy will
be kept here awaiting Identification,
as it is the opinion Of some that the
young man probably came from Vir-
ginia.

Lawmakers Must Act on Petition.

Columbia, Nov. 16.-By the re-
fusal of the governor to entertain a
petition for an election on the Hey
ward county question, the entire mat
ter will have to 60 over until after
the session of the general assembly.
At the last session of the general as
sembly a measure was passed aimed
at Informed counties, and the new
county that it is proposed to form out
of parts of Aiken and Edgeteld
counties would have come under the
act. When the measure was sent to
the governor he vetoed it. although
he had annulled the election order
made by Gov. Ansel on the grounds
that one of the lines of the new coun-
ty would pass through the town OF
Ellenton and that the constitutional
requirements as to area had not
been met. Since the question was
agitated last year a part OF Edgefleld
county, that would have been includ-
ed in the new county, has been an
nexed to Greenwood.
The promoters of the new county.
of which James L. Jackson, of Au-
gusta, is foremost, declare that a
new survey will be made. so as to
come within the requirements of the
constitution. This petition will be
presented to the governor next year.
Should the general assembly pass
the Informed county act over the
veto of the governor, then the Hey
ward county movement would be for
ever lost.

SLIPPED ON PEEL OF BANANA.
May Result in Crippling for Life OF
Man Who Stepped on 1t.

The Greenville Piedmont says tes-
timony to the fact that the city ord
nance against the throwing of ba-
mana peels on the sidewalks of the
city's streets is not enforced as 1t
should be, and that failure to en-
force the law puts pedestrians in a
precarious situation is borne out by a
sad incident that occurred recently,
barely failing to cause death to a
Greenville resident.
Mr.. Robert Nash, man who has
lived here for about eleven months,
having come here from Virginia, was
walking down Main street near the
postoffice building a week ago. Near
the corner of Main and Broad streets
he slipped on banana peel and fell
to the sidewalk, the base of his spine
striking the pavement. The foot
that stepped upon the peeling went
high into the air and he suffered a
hard fall.
Persons on the street came to the
aid of Mr.. Nash and he was taken
to the Salvation Army citadel where
he was given medical attention and
Drs. Black and Brown have been at
tending him since. 1t was found
that the base of Nash's spine was
fractured and that the nerves were
badly deranged.
Nash has suffered terrible pains
and it is likely that he will never
walk again. The attending physician
said that the injuries may heal, but
the chances are that he will never
again have the use of his limbs.
His legs have been numb and feeling
less since the fall. 1t is thought that
the break of the spine will heal but
that his nervous system will never
be whole again and that this will
prevent further use of the legs.
Nash is a young man and rather
tall and it is believed that his height
made the fall more serious. 1t is
thought that if. it had been an old
man to suffer the fall death would
have resulted. However, Nash, be-
ing a young man, the wounds will
not, it is thought, prove fatal.

IMPERSONATED FERRALL.
W. F.. Peeler Declares He Secured
Certificate Of EXoneratiOn.

Gaffney, Nov. 20.-In the Gaffney
Ledger tomorrow will appear let
ter from w. E. Peeler, a well-knoWn
young man of this city, in which he
says that he was the man who i'm
personated Rev. w. A. Ferrall, ap-
pearing before an Atlanta police
Judge and securing a statement that
he was not the man who had been
hailed into the police court by a
young woman with whom he had
had dealings following the publica-
ton of a classified ad in an Atlanta
paper. Ferrall was alleged to have
answered the ad and to have describ-
ed himself as a minister of romantic
tendencies and unmarried.
Peeler, in his letter, says that he
and Ferrall became very good
friends. As a result when Ferrall's
name was brought into public notice
in connection with the Atlanta cpl
sode the preacher, he declares, asked
him for help. After some thought,
Peeler says, he agreed to the plan.
Together, according to the letter,
the two men went to Atlanta, where
Peeler interviewed Judge Broyles
and secured the statement which ten
ded to exoperate Ferrall.
The letter then goes on to tell Of
the Investigations made by a Gaff-
ney newspaper man, with the result
that a picture of Peeler was sent to
Judge Broyles. When this was
known, Peeler's letter says, he de-
cided to ''fess up
Peeler defends his course on the
ground that there was really no
criminal offense, and that Ferrall
was his friend.

LIVED A DUAL LIFE.
Man Played the Jekyll and Hyde
Role for Years.

The trial of Bertram G. Spencer,
who is charged with numbering Miss
Martha G. Blackstone, a Springfield,
Mass, school teacher, has begun.
The killing took place on March 81,
1910, but the trial has been delayed
in order that the prisoner might be
watched by alienists, for the defense
will be insanity of DR.. Jekyll and
Mr.. Hyde" type.
Spencer has admitted to the police
that he was responsible for a series
of hold-ups and robberies, which for
nearly two years kept the city almost
panic stricken. He was known among
his acquaintances aS an honest, hard
working young married man
About three years ago, while em-
ployed as a railroad man, Spencer
fell in love with an attractive young
woman from a highly respected FAM
lily and not long afterward they were
married and went to housekeeping.
A baby was born, and the couple
were to all outward appearances hap
py and devoted.
Yet during all this time Spencer,
according to his statement to the po-
lice, was terrorizing the city by bold
robberies. Most of these were COM
mitted in the early evening, so that
by 8 o'clock he might be at home
with his little family.
On the night of March 81, 1910,
Miss Blackstone was visiting at the
home of Miss Harriet Dow when a
man entered and shot both women.
Miss Blackstone was killed, but Miss
Dow was only slightly injured. After
the police had exhausted every effort
to run down the murderer and had
about lost hope, a locket which had
been found in the yard of a home
robbed several months before was
turned over to them.
The locket bore the initials "B. G.
S." and by a coincidence the only
name in the Springfield directory
with these initials was Bertram G.
Spencer. Pictures in the locket were
identified as those of his wife and a
relative. Spencer was arrested. He ad--
mitted, the police say, every crime
laid at his door and told remark
able story of his dual personality.

Shoots Edgefield Farmer.

Edgefeld. Nov. 1S.-Albert Lyon.
young farmer who resides eight
miles west of Edgefield, was shot this
morning by a negro, Otis Harris. a
shotgun being used. Young Lyon also
shot the negro several times. Harris
made an insulting remark to Mr..
Lyon while in Edgefield last Satur-
day and is said to have purchased a
gun with which to shoot him. While
Mr.. Lyon was on his way to town
this morning with a load OF cotton
he met Harris in the road, and after
some words were passed, the negro
fired upon Mr.. Lyon, almost severing
his left arm above the elbow. Mr..
Lyon returned the fire. While the
wound is exceedingly painful, the at
tending physician thinks the arm can
be saved.
