Los Angeles, Sept. 29.-Half
starved and penniless, Mrs. Kate
Widmer, whose husband she said
was a tailor at Red Bluff, Cal., was
taken from a train to-day and
brought to hospital. Upon the wo-
mans waist was tag reading:
"To whom it may concern: This
is Mrs. Kate Widmer. She is feeble
minded and is en- route to her sisters
place, Mrs. Annie Eckert, 81 Green
wood avenue, Madison, N. j."
The tag also bore instructions to
trainmen to "Please see that the
bearer makes all proper changes as
called for in transportation from
Red Bluff to Madison, N. j."
Mrs. Widmer said her husband had
beaten her into a dazed condition
and placed her on the train at Red
Bluff after having provided her with
a ticket to New Jersey and S2cO In
money. Two women who befriended
her on the train, she declared, rob-
bed her of the $500 last night.

MOB LYNCHES WHITE MAN.
killing of Two Deputies Leads to
Violence in Arkansas Town.

Dumas, Ark, Sept. 27.-Forcing
their way into the Desha county jail
here between fifty and one hundred
men, members Of mob formed so
quietly that the authorities had not
the slightest warning, overpowered
the deputies in charge and took
Charles Malpas, Sr., white, to water
tank and hanged him early today.
The mob then dispersed without
demonstration. None of its mem
bers is known to the authorities, ac-
cording to their statement.
The lynching followed a pitched
battle at the home of Malpas, yester-
day, in which the sheriff and two
deputies were killed. The wife Of
Charles Malpas, Sr., a negress, and
the Malpas younger son, a young mu-
latto, escaped from the house dur
ing the fighting. The authorities
say they do not think the negress
and the boy engaged in the battle
yesterday, and for this reason, it is
not thought the two will, be sought
further in connection with the affair.
The sheriff's posse had gone to the
Malpas house to arrest two mulatto
sons of Malpas.

Hazing at Wofford College.

Spartanburg, Sept. 22.-The old
students of Wofford passed motion
that they would, as an organization
and as individuals, refrain from haz-
ing and do all in their power to keep
it down in the college this year.
The meeting was called by DR..
Snyder and he took the chair. He
explained that the object of the meet
ing was to prevent hazing at the
college and told the boys that the
honor of the college was at stake.
He said that the general impression
throughout the State was that the
new men were treated very roughly
and that the practice had grown
within the last few years. He said
that many times he was asked by
parents who wanted to send their
boys to Wofford why the custom was
not put an end to by the faculty.
After lecturing for some time on
the i'll effects, on the reputation that
it was giving to the institution and
the foolishness of the practice, DR..
Snyder then put motion in effect as
told above. He asked that all that
would give their words to refrain
from hazing and would do all in
their power to discourage it, to hold
up their hands.
The response was surprise to the
president, and he told the boys So,
and that he intended to take the
name of every student who refused
to pledge himself. Only about half
of those present had held up their
hands. DR.. Snyder said that every
one, who refused could be forced to
leave the campus, and it was to be
implied from the way the doctor
made this remark that some drastic
action will be taken against all whose
views on the subject differed from
his.
DR.. Snyder then left the room
and came back with pencil and pa
per, and, beginning at one side of
the room, began to take down the
names as he said he would. He also
asked each boy whose hand was not
in the air the reason for his refusal.
Many more hands had gone up,
though, during his absence.
Several of the students said that
they had never INDUCED in the prac-
tice and did not intend to, but that
they preferred to remain neutral and
would not promise to do anything
against other boys who differed with
them

A Fool and His Money Soon Parted.

After saving up for years to buy it,
Adolph Brambler, salesman, OF NO.
APT Pacific street, Brooklyn, bought
a $4,000 automobile recently. After
two hours instruction in running 1t
he set out alone to drive home.
Brambler got over the Brooklyn
bridge all right. wabbling slowly
along, but at last thought he had
better get the assistance of !chaut-
feur. He pulled up at garage, NO.
337 Atlantic avenue, and asked a
negro, standing outside, where ne
could get driver. "Why, sure'
right here,' replied the negro. I'm
a chauffeur" "Then take me spin
round the park" said Brambler. The
negro leaned over to crank the en-
CINE. An explosion followed, Branb-
Ter was jerked out of his seat onto
the pavement The car burst into
fame. The negro disappeared.
Herman Xrauss Of No. 322 Atlantic
avenue, pushed the burning auto
from in front of the garage where a
quantity of gasoline was stored.
When firemen arrived nothing was
left of the car but charred metal.
Brambler had his $4,000 car exact
ly three hours.

Charged with Girl Traffic.

Tampa, Fla, Sept. 27.-Charged
with violating the Federal statutes
governing the white slave traffic" !"
Marion Lawrence and her sister,
Ethel Lawrence Edmonds, were ar
rested here to-day. The women are
accused of being parties to enticing
Pearl Snyder, a young white girl of
Louisville, KY, to leave her home for
a life of shame. A woman named
Edna Shelley, of that city, is alleged
to have been an agent of the arrest

story, she was promised job as a
house girl; she later escaped. The
prisoners gave bond and will be CIV

When Will Frost Come?

Farmers throughout the cotton
belt are this year much interested in
the first killing frost. On account
of peculiar weather conditions the
past simmer the farmers expect a
much larger yield Of cotton should
the frost hold off well along in No.
vember. In South Carolina the
season has been a decidedly peculiar
one. Continued drought during the
middle summer prevented the early
growth of blooms, and caused she'd
ding of the smaller bolls and squares
during the early days Of August.
Rains which came fairly heavily be-
tween the 18th and 25th of August
gave the cotton a new start, so that
many new blooms and squares have
been put forth, and are rapidly ap-
preaching maturity. The question
with farmers is now whether this
"top" crop, or what portion thereof
will come to maturity DeIOre tne AlSt
frost falls.
According to the weather maps in
the office of the federal department
of agriculture, the earliest killing
frosts ever recorded by the govern
ment observers in South Carolina
were on October 10th for the upper
section, October 20 for the central
and November 1 for the lower. The
average first frost date, according to
the map, in South Carolina, is No
vember / to 5, for the upper sections.
Farmers who are familiar with the
time consumed by the cotton boil
from the bloom to maturity can
figure out their 'top" crop yields by
some such data.

PROBING WONIAN'S DEATH.
Ida Stones Stomach Sent to Charles.
ton for Analysis.

Saluda, Sept. 30.-Information
reached here last night from Hi
bernia that a white woman named
Ida Stone had died suddenly, after
having taken a dose of medicine,
alleged to have been administered by
one Emery Rikard.
Coroner J. H. Padgett was sum-
moned to hold an inquest and re-
turned here this morning. He states
that the stomach of the woman has
been sent to Charleston, that it's con-
tents may be examined, and that the
inquest was adjourned until Satur-
day, October Z.
1t appears from what could be
learned that Miss or Mrs: Stone had
been i'll for several days and was un-
de- treatment at the hands Of Mo-
META physician, but without any ap-
parent change. 1t is also stated that
Rikard called in to see her and per-
suaded the sick woman to believe he
could readily effect cure and pro-
ceeded to prepare and administer a
dose of something, and as soon as
the medicine was taken the woman
began to froth at the mouth and be-
came intensely i'll and died in about
an hour. A report on the contents
of the stomach is awaited with much
interest. Rikard, it appears, lives
in that community. It is stated that
so far as is known he had never ad-
physic to any one else.

Commits Suicide Before Altar.

Winston-Salem, N. c., Sept. IL
Lying on his back at the foot of an
altar in lodge room in the Masonic
Temple, the body of T. L. Farrow,
Sr., aged 54, was discovered yester-
day AFTERNOON by negro janitor!
On the altar a Bible was opened at
the 18th Psalm, the pages being held
down by a square and compass. A
note was left by the dead man, giving
instructions for the disposition of his
body and stating that he did mot see
any use in trying to fight it out"
It is believed Mr.. Farrow killed
himself while kneeling at the altar.
He was prominent in the Masonic
fraternity and for many years was
city tax collector. Ill health is be-
lieved to have led him to seek death.

HELD UP "A NEGRO.
A White Man and Negro Attempt
to Commit Robbery.

Near Allendale two men, one white
and the other a negro, made a bold
attempt at robbery about 3 O'Clock
Wednesday morning, when they drew
revolvers on Richard Bryant, a ne
gro, who lives on W. F. Googe's
plantation, near the cemetery, as he
was going to town to market bale
of cotton. Just as Bryant was pass
ing a thicket the two highwaymen
stepped out in front of, him with re-
volvers and demanded that he halt.
They then proceeded to search him,
but found nothing, and ordered the
negro to move on. The robbers are
still at large and there seems to be
no clue as to who they are.

Railroad to Cease Operations.

Columbia, Sept. 2S.-The order of
the railroad commission condemn
ing the Glenn Springs railroad will
stand until the required improve
ments have been made by the COM
pany. H. s. Simpson, the president
of the road, appeared before the rail-
road commission to-day and said that
it will be impossible to make the i'm
provements at this time. The COM
mission will refuse to allow trains to
be operated over the line.
It is very probable that new
company will be formed and that
the road will be able to resume op-
Grafton early next year.

SON KILLS FATHER.
Oscar Hall Shot at Anderson by Sick
Boy.

Anderson, Sept. 2S.-Oscar Hall,
aged so, a well-to-do white farmer,
was shot and instantly killed by his
son, Walter Hall, aged 1S, last night.
The elder Hall was in the city yester-
day afternoon and returned to his
home six miles west of Anderson in
q drunken condition.
Walter Hall was sick in bed with
gastritis and his father tried to force
some whiskey down his throat. The
boys mother interfered and she was
hit over the head with a broom by
her husband. The woman then fled
out in the yard and was follow
ed by Oscar Hall, who had secured
his rifle from a hook on the wall.
Mrs. Hall entered the house from
the rear and passed through the
room of her sick son. She hid behind
a door in an adjoining room and
while in that position she heard three
reports of a pistol.
The sick boy had staggered to the
window and with a 22-caliber pistol
fired three shots at his father, who
was out in the yard. The three bull
lets entered his back and all of them
pierced his heart. He died instant
ly.
The coroner's jury returned the
usual verdict charging the death to
the son. On account of his condi-
ton, Walter Hall can not be remov-
ed to Jail. An effort is being made
to secure bail for him.

Office inspector was here all day in
reference to a place of business and
to inspect bids for it. 1t was an
nounced late this afternoon that all
offers were knocked out and new bids
will be called for. Uncle Sam, it
appears, wants more for the money
than was offered. This town en-
joys many of the luxuries and utili-
ties Of cities and the high taxes for
them precludes low rents any more.
