tossed the corn up, and, don't you

corn right into the side of my barn
as thick as shot. My barn looks like

KILLED WITH A BRICK.
Two Negroes Have Fight and One
Was Fatally Hit.

The Columbia Record says John
Young died at noon Sunday in that
city from paralysis as the result of a
lick in the head dealt by Tom Wise
another negro. The quarrel between
the negroes, who lived at Hyatt's
park, arose over an alleged insult tt
the daughter of Young. The daughter
told her father Of her treatment at
Wise's hands, it is said, and Young
took up the matter vigorously. A
fierce puarrel ensued, which ended by
Wise grabbing a brick, which h broke
in two and used one half to disjoir
Young's head from his spinal column
at the back of his neck. Wise is held
in the county Jail, having been appre-
hended Friday night. Young was
carried Immediately after the occur
renee to the hospital. When he ar,
rived his body from his shoulder
down was paralysed.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Each Liquor Sale is Separate Offence
Says Court.

Says Court.
Another decision bearing on the
present whiskey law has been given
by Associate Justice Hydrick in the
case of the State VS.. w. P. Kelly,
Sumter county, who was convicted on
two charges of violating the whiskey
law, receiving an alternate sentence
on the first violation and sentence
of one year for the second vloia,lvn,
as provided by the act.
The State says the sentence OF the
Sumter county court is affirmed. The
case first was submitted to the su-
preme court at the November term in
1910, but was dismissed because the
attorneys for Kelly failed to- file ar
gument. A satisfactory explanation
having been made, the case was again
filed
w. P. Kelly was tried on June 80,
1910, for selling whiskey on October
Is, 1909, and was tried on July l,
1910, for selling whiskey on June 23
1910. The defendant was given an
alternate sentence in the first case
and was given one years imprison-
ment on the second charge. This Of,
tense was treated as the second sub
sequent offense under the act oi
1909.
"In this State" says the supreme
court, leach sale Of whiskey is a sep
arate and distinct offense for which
the guilty party may be convicted ant
punished.

GOOD COTTON CROP
CONDITION OF STAPLE INDI-
GATES A BIG YIELD.
Fields Are Clean and Some Sections
Expect Much Larger Yields than in
Several Years Past.

Due, in great measure, to the
rains of last week which relieved the
| drought before it had done serious
damage, except possibly in scattering
sections, the 1911 cotton crop In
South Carolina, from present stands,
promises to be- equally as good If not
better than last year. No section of
the State, from reports, has suffer
ed materially; but to the contrary, in
number Of counties larger yields
are expected than in "a number of
years past.
Taking the State as whole the
condition up to the end of last week
indicates that the cotton crop this
year will not be off on account of the
drought that for time everybody
feared would materially affect the
yield. Conditions may be said at this
time to indicate 100 per cent. crop,
although in some scattering sections
whe.e cotton was replanted and did
not get a good stand the yield will
not be more than two-thirds or three
fourths; but in other sections from
Is to 25 per cent. more cotton IS ex-
pected than last year.
Heavy fertiizatilion and the unusu-
ally fine preparation of the soil, deep
er blowing and the application of new
methods is telling this season, but for
it is safe to say that the drought
would have proved a greater damage
but compared with last year at this
time the crop is in a better condi-
ton.
The fields are clean, there is no
grass, and indications are that much
larger crop will be picked this year
than asst. Last year at this time the
feds we're full of grass, making the
cost of production greater than this
year, and, indeed last year the farmer
had a hard fight to keep the grass
from over-rnning the cotton.
What grass follows the recent
rains will be easily kept in check
this year. If the conditions at pres
ent can be compared with conditions
existing at this time last year, the
wo seasons being absolutely different
the one extremely dry and the other
extremely wet, farmers of the State
are, from reports received, in better
shape now than then, and the indica-
tions for a full crop are great deal
ter tha last year.

MARS GETS A FALL
AVIATOR PROBABLY FATALLY
HURT AT ERIE, Pa.
The Doutors Hold Out Little Hope
For the Recovery of the Well
Known Airmano

At Erie, Pa, bud" Mars, we'll
known American aviator, was probab-
ly fatally injured here shortly after
O'Clock this afternoon when he lost
control of his air machine during
flight and crashed from height of
several hundred feet to the ground.
The heavy biplane dropped on top
of him. His Injuries are of such ma
ture, it is said, that there IS practi-
cally no hope for his recovery. The
aviator's wife witnessed the accident
and her condition is serious, due to
the shock.
Mars was in the air for the second
time when the accident occurred.
Several thousand spectators were
watching him. He circled the field
number Of times al height of sew
eral hundred feet. Suddenly the ma
chine made dip downward and Mars
made an attempt to regain control of
the machine.
1t was a futile attempt, however,
and an instant later, the biplane
struck the ground. The machine
was completely wrecked and Mars lay
under it. He was covered with blood
and at first it was believed he was
dead. He was carried to an improvis-
ed field hospital.
The serious nature of Mars injur-
les was evident and he was rushed to
hospital. His physicians issued a
statement saying that his chest was

badly injured and that he had sus-
suffered internal injuries, while he is
also bruised from head to foot

The amazed spectators stood still
for moment. There was a scream
when the avlator's wife rushed to-
wards the wrecked machine. Before
she reached her husbands side, how
ever, she was overcome with grief
and was carried from the field.
"A later dispatch says that the hurts
of the aviator are not as serious as
was at first supposed, and that he
will recover in about ten days.

YELPS OUT AGAIN
HEPBURN MAKES A FOOL OF
HIMSELF ONCE MORE.
+. -, the Chronic Kicker's Antics
o5enate Takes up Bill for Con-
~
federat, Monument.

The bitterness between Senator
Hepburn. of Idaho, and Senator Will
liams, of Mississippi, on the subject
of the Confederacy, broke out anew
in the senate recently. Senator Hey
burn objected to the taking up Of a
bill appropratiny 100000 for a Con-
federate naval monument In the
Vicksburg military park, but Senator
Williams won its consideration. by a
vote of 20 to 19.
The Vicksburg park commission
and the senate committee on military
affairs approved the measure. Mr..
Williams said it was desired to have
the monument complete or the semi
centennial "blue and gray" reunion
at Vicksburg in 1913. Senator'S Cum
Minis of Iowa and Works of California
urged it's passage as proper recogni-
tions of men who exhibited brav-
cry in cause they believed right.
Senator Hepburn again attacked
the principle Of federal recognition
of Confederate acts. He declared 1t
was 'intolerable" that the deeds OF
Confeders te armies should BE re-
cited in laws that call on the public
treasury or contributions. He char
actercized the history of the War Be-
tween the Sections as "history OF
murder" He attacked the neWspa-
pers of the country, declaring many
of them disloyal "and delighted to
express their disloyalty."
He had been characterized as waiv-
ing the bloody flag in the senate, he
said, and had been so misrepresented
that he was receiving scores of anon
ymous letters from towards" threat
ening him with physical violence be-
cause of his opposition to useing gov
ernment funds to recognize Confeder-
ate service.
He displayed a letter he had receiv-
from Little Rock, Ark. the envelope
of which bore a Confederate flag.
He said the post-o11lce department.
said there was no law to prevent the
use of the flag on, mail matters.
"No law ought to be needed" said
Hepburn, "there is but one flag In
this nation entitled to such represen-
! talon.
Senator Williams abruptly left the
chamber when Hepburn began to bray
Eand se*Senator Taylor, of Tennessee,
took up the issue, and scored Hey
burn. "The war is over" he said,
'time has pulled down the forts and
healed the wounds. The men who
wore the gray delight to honor the
men who wore the blue, but they do
not to delight to honor the men who
never smelt powder, and who stand
here and unlimber their batteries OF
bitterness against the simple proposal
to erect monuments to Southern he
roes."
The senate Immediately adjourn
ed by a vote of rs to Is and the cues
ton was eft unsettled.
