Cotton Burned at Gaffney.

Gaffney, April ia destructive
fire visited the Gaffney Manufacture
ing company in this city yesterday
when some SIS bales of cotton were
burned. The fire started in the room
of the mill where all of the cotton is
opened. Owing to the fact that it
was open the fire had an opportunity
to spread, and before it could be ex-
tinguished SIS bales had been almost
completely destroyed. The mill au-
thorities are at a loss to explain how
or where the fire originated. The to-
tai loss will be over $4,000, with
some insurance. The fire loss ad-
tuster Of the insurance company ar
rived in the city last night to exam
inc into the fire and adjust the loss,
but owing to the fact that all of the
cotton was more or less wet 1t was
impossible for him to take any
steps as yet.

COURTS TO DECIDE.
Greenwood Rural Policemen's Sala-
ries in Question.

Greenwood, April I'D. H. Ma
gill has instituted mandamus pro-
ceedings against the foreman Of the
grand jury of Greenwood county and
the county board of commissioners
to compel the payment of the first
months salaries due the three rural
policemen appointed by Gov. Blease.
The county, through it's attorney, E.
S. F. Giles, claims that the appoint
ments not being legal, the claims
cannot be allowed, even if they were
presented with the Endorsement of
the foreman of the grand jury, the
act requiring all claims for salary to
be approved by the foreman of the
grand jury before the supervisor Of
the conuty can issue a pay warrant.
In this case the foreman of the grand
Jury has refused to indorse the claim
for salary, and on this account he is
made a party to the proceedings. Mr..
Magill has an order from Judge
Watts in the proceedings returnable
next Monday morning at 10 o'clock
or as soon thereafter as counsel can
be heard. The appointments were
made by Gov. Blease on the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Magill, who is seek
ing the writ of mandamus, a men,
Der of the delegation. The act pro-
viding for the appointment says the
appointments shall be made upon
recommendation of the delegation
and as the other members of the DEL
egation did not join in the recon-
mendation, the county, through its
attorneys, claims it will be illegal TO
make the payments.

Endorse Taft Administration.

Columbia, April 12.-For the pur-
pose of perfecting the organization
set on foot last October, the execu-
tive committee of the white Repub-
lican party of South Carolina met to-
day in Columbia. The committee to-
day passed a resolution endorsing
the administration of President Taft
and pledging the support of 18 dele
gates for second term for the chief
executive. The committee put itself
squarely against negroes holding Of
fees in the South.
John G. Capers, who is now an at
torney in the District of Columbia
and for a number of years Republi-
can political dictator and ''pie cutter"
of federal patronage in this State
was in Columbia to-day to see that
things went off alright. He denied
that it was the intention Of the ex-
ecutive committee to discuss the
question of putting out State tick
ct in the next election. This was the
general impression and had been so
stated by members of the said to be
regenerated party.
Whether the federal judgeship was
discussed at the meeting of the COM
mittee could not be learned. 1t Is
known that John G.. Capers called on
President Taft before coming South.
Nothing was ever announced as to
the nature of the conference. Judge
Brawley is soon to retire from the
bench on account of age and there
are a number of applicants. 1t is
doubtful if the new party in this
State would have any effect in the
matter of naming his successor as
this new party has not as yet been
recognized by the national organiza-
ton.
There is another Republican party
in South Carolina which is composed
mostly of negroes. Both the parties
will send delegations, it is said, to the
national convention and there will
very likely be a contest as to who
will be seated.

The doe Run Shay" Arrives.

Springfield, April 12.-W. w. Kea-
die of Doe Run, or Sales City, Mitch
ell county, Ca, early yesterday morn
ing steamed into Springfield in/his
homemade automobile, Immediately
attracting the attention of several
dozen people.
About 20 years ago Mr.. Keadle
moved to Georgia and went into the
saw mill business, and it is reported
that he has prospered.
Mr.. Keadle's invention has not
been named yet, but it is numbered
under the Georgia automobile law as
1891.
It is $50 miles from Sales City to
Springfield, by the way of Augusta,
and he made the run without a mis-
hap or breakdown.
The motive power of this machine
was mounted on an old one-horse
wagon, and consisted of a ten-horse-
power marine motor, geared to the
spokes of the two rear wheels OF the
SHAY" working from central pow
er plant directly back of and under
the drivers seat, substantial dry
goods box. An umbrella rib with
the top of an oyster can, fastened to
the end of a gun barrel, carried the
exhaust far to the rear, while COM
mon rubber pipe, connecting two old
oil cans, kept "Boe Run" cool and
perfectly fabricated.
A well-seasoned cross beam OF
ancient sassafras acted in times OF
extreme emergency as brake, while
e. horn of design both ancient and
historic, being of pattern like unto
that used by Fitz James or Roderick
Dhu. awakened the citizens Of the
wayside as this sojourner from Doe
Run clipped the highway.
Mr.. Keadle will probably continue
his Journey to Columbia.
Mr.. Keadle made the machine SIM
ply as a curiosity and to show the
people how simple and cheap an au-
tomobile could be made.

MAY BE DOUBLE LYNCHING.
Posses Making Determined Search
for Woman's Assailant.

Monroe, Ca, April 13.-Posses to-
night are securing the county (Wal-
ton) for the negro who committed a
criminal assault on Mrs. Leila Nc
Knight, at her home 10 miles from
Monroe, late yesterday afternoon.
Two suspicious negroes were arrest
ed to-day, but it is believed the gull
ty negro has not been caught.
Mrs Mcknight had gone to near
by pasture for cow. When she
failed to return near nightfall, her
mother went in search of her. Mrs.
Mcknight was found lying uncon-
scious in the mud, the earth showing
her body had been dragged a con-
siderable distance. She had been
struck on the head from behind and
there was indications that the wo-
man had put desperate fight before
being overcome.
Sheriff Stark was Immediately no
titled and went to the scene with
bloodhounds, but because of the wet
condition of the ground the dogs
failed to take the scent. Tracks.
however, led to the home of negro
named Tom Allen, and it is believed
by many that he has been arrested
and will be spirited away to Athens
or Atlanta. The officers stated, how
ever, that Allen is still at liberty.
Mrs. Mcknight, the victim, is In
a critical condition tonight, but had
recovered sufficiently to make a
statement. She declared the negro
Allen was the first to assault her
and that he was followed by another,
whom she did not know but would
be able to identify.
A mob of several hundred citi-
zens surrounded the Jail here to-
night in the expectation that Allen
would be brought here. Early in the
evening a committee from the mob
was permitted to search the jail and
found no trace of the prisoner. Ex-
citement is intense and if the negroes
are captured a double lynching is
almost certain.

DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.
Storm Sweeps Many Towns in Three
Western States.

A heavy wind storm, attaining the
velocity of a tornado in some Sec
tions, and accompanied by rain, hail
and lightning, swept over Western
Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma to-
day, killing Is persons, practically de-
stroying two towns, injuring almost
100 persons, wrecking scores of
buildings and putting almost every
telephone and telegraph wire in the
territory out of commission.

toll of dead at Big Heart, Oklahoma,
where eight persons were killed, 10
