DEpREss PRICE OF COTTON.
A Plot for That Purpose Said to Have
Been Formed.

A Washington dispatch to The
State says bull and bear war has
broken out again although on small
scale, because it developed there on
Wednesday in the hearing of the
committee on expenditures in the de-
partment of justice that there has
been studied effort on the part OF
Northern spinners for the last four
years to curtail the output Of cot
ton goods in order to force down the
prices Of the staple.
Books of the Arkwright club which
have just been exhibited to Congress-
man Beall of Texas led him to say
that interesting disclosures might be
expected any day in view Of the ac-
tions of Attorney General Wicker
sham last year when the bull and
bear movements were the issues Of
the day.
While it is too early to say what
the outcome of the matter will be
there is feeling that spinners from
both the North and South will be
summoned to testify before the COM
mittee to ascertain whether the cot
ton market had suffered because OF
the agreement of the Northern men
to curtail their production and to
What extent the So1thern spinners
responded.

CAUSES SOME COMMENT.
Action of State Board Of Education
Is Being Discussed.

The State says much interest IS be-
ing manifested in the action Of the
State Board Of Education in eliminat-
ing about 80 per cent Of the text
books now used by the free public
schools of South Carolina.
The members Of the State board
of education are: D. N. O'Driscoll,

tendent Of education, IS the secretary
of the board and the governor is the
ex-officio chairman.
Mr.. Swearingen several days ago
issued a statement in which he crit
icized the board for the sweeping
changes in textbooks. He charged
that the board had placed an unnec-

PUT BEHIND BARS.
Life Of a Desperate Negro Fiend Saw.
ed by White Mem.

NY AAAtS A'ANhs
A dispatch to the State from Lex
ington says that Sam Carter, the ne
gro, who was rushed to the peniten-
tiary by Sheriff P. H. Corley Thursday
night to prevent probable attack on
the Lexington jail, is now safe behino
the bars, is due largely to the success
full efforts Of the officers and to a few
citizens of Swansea. This is the
statement made by Deputy Sheriff
Miller, who had just returned from
the vicinity where Carter is alleged
to have committed an assault upon a
little 12-year-old white child on Mon
day afternoon week ago.
Carter had been working for the
father Of the child for about year,
having come to South Carolina from
Georgia. On Monday afternoon, 18th
instant, the little girl, together with
her two brothers and two sisters, all
of them younger than herself, were
picking blackberries in field near
where the negro was working.
Seeing the children, Carter went to
where they were and enticed the lit
tie girl to a thicket In the WOODS,
telling her that he knew where there
was a lot of blackberries, at the
same time telling the other children
to remain where they were.
Soon afterwards white man came
along and noticed the little girl con-
ing along the woods, followed closely
by the negro, his suspicion aroused
from the appearance Of the little girl
he questioned her and the negro
closely, but failed to get any satisfac-
tory answer. The girls father was
notified, and the girl told Of what
had happened, stating that Carter
had told her he would kill her if she
ever told.
4 warrant was Immediately issued
for Carter and before the news Of the
assault had time to spread, the negro
was being rushed to Lexington In an
automobile. Sheriff Corley had beer
notified by telephone and was on the
way to the scene when he was mel
by the party in the automobile. The
little girl belongs to well known
family in the community and the
crime created a great deal OF excite
ment,

MISSED BIG AMOUNT
TRAIN ROBBERS MADE MISTAKE
IN STOPPING TRAIN.
Only Swag Comes From Registered
Mail, No Express Being on Board.
Posse in Pursuit.

Apparently mistaking the first Sec
ton of the northbound passenger
train No. 16 on the Southern Pacific
railroad for a southbound train said
to be carrying a shipment Of s400,-
600 in gold dust from Seattle to San
Francisco two robbers held up the
northbound train on Thursday night
near West Fork, an isolated station in
Cow Creek canyon, Oregon.
The robbers rifled the mail car,
blowing up the safe. and made away
with the registered mail. They tried
to secure entrance to the express car,
but were foiled by Messenger Robb,
who refused to open the door despite
threats that they would use dyna-
miteif he refused. The robbers after
fruItfessly prying with crewbar at
the side door of the car, finally de-
sisted and decamped with the loot
secured from the mail car.
The amount taken by the robbers
can not be ascertained at this time.
This train carries in it's registered
mail the cash from Southern Oregon
postofices to Eugene, Oregon, which
is their depository, and this was
probably included in the mailsstolen.
The robbers boarded the train at
West Fork while the engine was TAX
ing water. Soon after it had got un-
der way they crawled over the tender
into the cab and directed the engineer
to stop the train
This done one Of the men kept the
engineer and fireman under cover
with his revolver while the other
one went back and uncoupled the
mail and baggage car.
Then the engineer was ordered tc
pull these cars some distance up the
tract, where he was again ordered
to stop. The robbers went back to
the mail car and lining the mail
clerks up, took the registered mail
pounches and dynamited the mail car
safe.
The noise Of the explosion warned
Messenger Robb Of what was taking
place and when the demand came
for him to open his door he made no
responce.
The conductor Of the train as soon
as he discovered what had taken
place went back to West Fork where
he notified Glendale and surrounding
points. Posses have been organized
to pursue the robbers.
