mediately after being placed in an

Official estimates Of the cotton crop

be the largest in the history Of the
country, approximating, according to
the present figures, 14,425,oOO bales

DR.. N. A. Murray, acting chief OF

following statement subsequent to
the issuance of the cotton crop re-
port:
"The report shows the condition of
the crop TO be higher than on any cor

A month ago the general condition
was S.5 per: cent. above the 1O-year
average. Today It's 1913 per cent.
above the 1o-year average.
"The acerage of cotton this year Is
about 35,c00-0OO. Allowing for the

H. r. Bledsoe, a prominent citizen
OF Greensboro, Ala, received "black
hand" note Tuesday demanding $3.50
and that night recovered jewelry val
ued at $500 that had been stolen
from his wife last winter. The note
was signed with the name or well
known white man and threatened
death to Mr.. Bledsoe if he refused
to hide the $3.50 in a certain place
and return later to get his Wife's
jewelry.
Going to the place that night he
left a bobus package and on retiring
ran upon a negro, who had brought
him the original note. Selling the
regro, he searched him and found
the package of lost jewelry. 1t is
believed the negro used the white
mans name to the note.

KILLED HIS FRIEND
A DISPUTE BETWEEN RAILWAY
MEN ENDS FATALLY. N
Lawrence Wise, Made Crazy With
Whiskey, Literally Shot John Dun
can to Pieces.

can to Pieces.
A dispatch to The News and Cour-
ier from Aiken says one of the most
deplorable killings which ever occur
red in that county happened in the
sub-station of the Aiken-Augusta
Railway Company, near Graniteville,
about nine o'clock on Saturday night.
Lawrence Wise, made crazy by whis-
key, according to testimony, walked
into the sub-station and literally shot
John Duncan to pieces.
There were no eye-witnesses to the
killing, but the cause of the fuss was
over the report which was to be
sent in to the manager Of the sub
station. Both Wise and Duncan wer.
employed in the station, one being
the night man, while the other was
the day man. They were the best of
friends, and after the killing Wise
remarked that he had killed the
best friend he had.
From the inquest it seems that
Duncan was substituting for Wise,
who h; gotten off to go to Aiken,
and thi he should have reported fol
work at $50 in the afternoon. He
did not show up until about nine
o'clock, and parties heard the men
fussing over the report which was to
go in. Duncan was trying to get
Wise to go home, and finally invited
him inside, and there the shooting
took place. Wise shot at Duncan six
times and hit him six times. Three
bullets passed entirely through the
dead mans body, one through his
hip, ranging upward; one passed
through his hat.
Duncan tried to escape and he was
found leaning half way out of win
dow with his head in the sand. Rur-
al Policeman Holley was or the car
which passed, the sub-station about
the time of the killing and he placed
Wise under arrest and brought him
to Aiken and lodged him In jail. An
inquest was held on Sunday morning,
and the usual verdict was rendered
that Duncan came to his death at
the hands of Wise.
The affair is greatly regretted, as
both men are well thought Of, and
both have families. Duncan has SIX
children and Wise has three.

VERY STRANGE CASE
YOUNG WOMAN TRIES TO LEAVE
BABY ON A TRAIN.
She WAS Required to Resume Posses.
sion Of tho Child, Which She Gave
to Man.

The Augusta Chronicle says SEN
sational story was told in Augusta
Monday of a mysterious attempt of
an unknown young woman to desert
an infant on the Atlantic Coast Line
train, from Savannah, upon its arrival
at Yemasse and being prevented from
doing so by the passengers, carried
it with her on the c. & w. C. train
from Charleston to Augusta, where
she is said to have presented the baby
to a gentleman from Augusta who
to hisidskg'FFd. oh. etaoinshrdlucm
brought the new member Of his fam
lily to his home in this city.
Neither the name of the supposed
mother or the present possessor of
the child cotld be learned. Accord
ing to- the story as related here by
excursionists from Charleston Sunday
night, the unknown woman arrived at
Yamesse on the train from Savannah.
A number Of the men who were on
the train, and whose attention had
been attracted to the child, noticed
that the lady had got off the train and
changed to the G. & w. G. train,
bound for Augusta.
She left the infant on the train and
as she evinced no attention Of re-
turning for it, they sent to her and
required her to take the baby with
her. After the Augusta train had
left Yamesse and the unaccountable
conduct of the woman had been cir
culated among the passengers, the
man from Augusta became a charac-
ter in the story, by offering to take
the child and provide home for it.
His offer was accepted, the baby
was placed in his charge and he
brought it on to Augusta with him.
The lady, who was young and good
looking, left the train al Varnville, a
station in Hampton County, South
Carolina, between Yamesse and
Hampton, without any one, so far as
can be learned, having ascertained
her identity. She spoke to no one
except as related and offered no ex-
planation of her strange and myster-
ious conduct.

SCALES OUT OF PLUMB.
Short Weights Were Always in Favor
Of the Seller.

Mayor Rhett of Charleston has re-
ceived from the bureau Of statistics
at Washington report on the scales
and weights in Charleston. The re-
port shows a general shortage of
weights and measures in use in
Charleston. The report criticizes the
retention in office of John Duncan,
clerk of weights and measures, who
it states is 70 years old and who 1t
says, has not inspected the weights
and measures, the merchants report
in 10 years. The ordinance providing
for correct weights and measures are
not being enforced, the report states
The butter scales are especially al
luded to as being short and the re-
port concludes with the usual recon-
mendation for accurate weights.
