Denies Darby Assaulted Her.

Chester, Oct "A preliminary
trial Of the case of George Darby,
white, charged with criminal assault,
was held yesterday before Magistrate
Wilkes. The case was sent up to the
court of general sessions, and Darby
was remanded to jail in default of
$1,000 bond.
George Darby is resident Of the
Baton Rouge section of this county,
and is largely connected through
that section. There was big crowd
here yesterday for the trial, and in
terest in the case was intense. This
will be one of the most interesting
trials to be brought up at the COM
ing term of court.
The alleged victim of Darby testi-
fed yesterday that he was innocent
and that her assailant was another
man.

THE BLESSING OF SLEEP.
Sancho Panza's Dissertation on Ma.
lures Sweet Restorer.

- Cervantes, who lived in the "cur-
few days." gave us an estimate of
sleep that is not without merit in the
eyes of many even to-day. "Bless-
ings," he invoked, ION him who first
invented this same sleep. It covers a
man all over, thoughts and all, like a
cloak; it is meat for the hungry,
drink for the thirsty, heat for the
cold and cold for the hot. It is the
current coin that purchases all the
pleasures Of the world cheap, and the
balance that sets the king and the
shepherd, the fool and the wise man,
even." This, written some 800 years
ago, is a true defense that even the
greatest of those who have turned
the dark places into light cannot
entirely break down.

ROBBERS IN WAKE OF FLOOD.
Two Women Caught Stealing at Aus
tin-Six Funerals Yesterday.

Austin, Pa, Oct. 4.-The first ar
rests for robbery following the disas-
trous flood of last Saturday were
made to-day when two foreign wo-
men were caught by State trooper
prying open the lid of trunk. The
women are Mrs. Peter Shava and
her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Joseph
Shava. The women when arrested
appealed to State Senator F. E. Bald
win to intercede for them but he re-
fused. They were taken to the coun-
ty Jail at Coudersport, Pa. Their
home then was searched and furs and
iewelry valued at s1,00 or more were
recovered, many pieces being identi-
fed by the owners.
Joseph Shava, husband of the
younger woman, is accused of par
ticipating in the theifts but has not
been found.
The visit of Gov. John K. Tener,
the recovery of seven more bodies
and the funerals of number of 9TH
er victims, coupled with further
development of the system of clear
ing the ruins and feeding the aug
mented force of workers, marked
the day as one of the greatest prog
ress thus far in relieving the stricken
town.
Six funerals were held to-day.
Five from the Swedish church, the
only one left standing.
The caskets were placed side by
side before the pulpit at one time,
and as one service was completed a
minister of another denomination
would succeed him. Each funeral
had it's little group of mourners.

ROTOR SENTENCED TO 8 YEARS
Young Saluda Man Convicted of Sc.
duction will Appeal.

Saluda, Oct. 1.-The only white
person tried at this term Of court
was Clarence B. ROTOR, charged with
seduction. He was to-day sentenced
by Judge Memminger to three years
on the public works of the county.
In passing sentence, Judge Memmin-
ger took occasion to say that he
would not deliver any lecture; that
enough had already been said during
the terrible ordeal through which
the defendant had passed during the
trial. Speaking further, however,
the Judge remarked that he had
never in all his experience seen a
case Of this nature where there was
less testimony showing, or tending to
show, the unchastity Of the female
as was offered in this case.
81 say to you,' he continued, ad-
dressing the defendant, THAT in all
this record there is nought to reflect
upon the character of this young wo-
man, except what you yourself have
stated. Under sthis Indictment you
are a guilty man, and while errors
in the law may have been committed
by me, though I do not think so, and
while there may be held out to you
the hope of a reversal, I say, while
all this may be true, yet, you are a
guilty man, and no jury will ever
acquit you.
"The only testimony beside your
own offered tending to show the un-
chastity of this young woman was
contained in the affidavit you made
as to what a young man, Eagle, sick
in bed, would swear to If he were
here, and I am reliably Informed
that this young man denies emphat-
ically stating what you claim he did
state to you in regard to this young
woman
Counsel for the defendant gave
notice of appeal, and the bond was
fixed at $1,000.
The defendant, ROTOR, yesterday
endeavored to get the young woman
to marry him, and went so far as to
apply to the probate court for Ii
cense The young woman sent word
to the court to-day that she would
not marry him. Under the law, if
the parties were to marry, all fur
ther proceedings against ROTOR
would, perforce of the law, be stop
ped. The defendant is of a good
family in this county, and he is a
rather good looking young fellow.
This is the first case of this nature
ever tried in the courts of this coun-
ty.

TO AID FARMERS.
U. S. Government to Conduct Some
s.. Important Demonstrations.

Washington, Oct. 5.-An effort to
secure higher prices for cotton by an
Z improvement in the methods of hand
ling, grading and marketing the crop
is 10 be made by the government this
year in cooperation with prominent
cotton growers.
g The plan is designed to bring to
the cotton raisers the full benefit OF
the increase in value that can be Sc
cured by careful grading of the crop
so correspond with the new govern
sment standards. These standards
have been in the hands of the cotton
Exchanges for some time and are re-
scognized as official standards of the
trade.
3 Officials of the agriculture depart
@ment are planning to take the crop
from plantations selected as expert
sment points. The government e2-
perts will use the most approved
methods of grading, handling, bal
Ing and selling and will make accu-
rate returns on each operation for
the benefit of the cotton growers. 1t
is believed that if the cotton raisers
can be trained to grade the crop
carefully in it's initial handling, it's
value can be greatly increased by
putting the cotton into grades that
command higher prices. Efforts are
being made to induce farmers as
sociations and local bodies to puf-
chase sets Of governments stan
dards for use in preparing the cot
ton for the market.
The price of the standards has
been reduced from $35 to $50 for the
benefit of farmers associations and
the department is recommending that
shalf SERIES be purchased which
will give farmers e facility to grade
their cotton. It is believed cotton
raisers of the South will benefit to
the extent of millions of dollars If
the improvements in handling and
marketing methods can be made
general.

BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN.
Game Successful, But Little was Sc
cured by Robbers.

Bartlesville, Okla, Oct. 4.7Three
masked men held up passenger train
No. 20, running from Kansas City
to Oklahoma City, on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railroad, early to-
day. The robbery occurred near
Oakes, ten miles south of here.
The mail and baggage cars were
rified but little of value was secured
by the robbers.
The passengers were not molested.
The hold-up took place in a new
cut and the train was running slowly.
Suddenly four shots were fired. The
engineer and fireman saw three
masked men climbing over the ten
der pointing revolvers at them. Jas.
Myers, engineer, was ordered to stop
the train. Myers did.
The bandits compelled the fireman
to uncouple the baggage and express
cars and run them down the track
several yards from the remainder or
the train.
The sheriff of Usage county organ
lied a posse of 20 men, and with a
pair of bloodhounds, started on the
trail of the bandits, which led into
the wild Usage Hills.
Three hours after the hold-up
three men believed to be the same
trio, robbed the station agent at
Dewey, Okla, northeast of here, and
got s46 from him. Posses with
bloodhounds are in pursuit.

Poisoning is never likely again TO be-

from time to time In ancient Rome. In
b. c. 331. for instance. there was a
mysterious pestilence. which seemed
to be particularly fatal to leading men.
At last slave girl gave Information

of about twenty matrons. some OF

them publicly In the forum as a guar

A Dream and Its Result.

In 1920 terrible epidemic decimated
Marseilles and Provence, and Sardinia
owed its escape TO a dream. At this
period the viceroy Of Sardinia dreamed
that the disease had invaded Sardinia
and that the rayages were frightful.
When the yiceroy awoke he was deeply
impressed by his dream. and a little
later a merchantmen put in its ap-
pearance at Cagliari and demanded a
place to berth. The Sardinia refused.
and when it was limited that the mer-
chairman wanted to land some sick
the viceroy threatened to train the
guns of the forts upon the vessel IL
the captain did not depart instantly.
The people Of Cagliari thought that the
viceroy was mad. but great was their
joy later when they learned that this
very ship, which went on to Marseilles,
was responsible for introducing the
plague into the famous port
