W1FE'S DREAM SAVED HIM.
True Story About the Briceriue Mine
Explosion.

A Briceville, Tenn, dispatch says
Hugh Larue, a miner employed in the
Cross Mountain mine, in which there
was an explosion Saturday, believes
he owes his life to a dream his wife
had Friday night. When he awoke
Saturday morning and prepared to
80 to his daily task in the mine, Mrs.
Larue told him she would not prepare
dinner for him to carry to th emines,
as she did not want him to work that
day.
She then recited a dream she had,
giving this as her reason for asking
tlat her husband stay out of the mine.
Mrs. Larue said that Friday night she
dreamed she saw scores of miners,
with their heads blown off, being car
ried out of the mine entrance; that
she and her little children (and she
has severaD stood at the mines
mouth, watching the horrible sight.
Despite the fact that he had not
missed day from his work for many
months, he was prevailed upon Sat
urday to remain out Of the mines. It
was only short time after Mrs.
Larue told of her dream until the
explosion was announced. With tears
of joy streaming down her face, she
embraced her husband and thanked
God that she had had the dream Fri
daE night

SCIENTIFIC POINT CLEARED UP
Size Of Water Particles Now Known
to Change With the Ago
Of Clouds.

Il seems rather singular to speak
Of the "age of clouds"-of "old clouds
and young Clouds" yet 1t really ap
pears that such a distinction can be
made, and that the discovery, as sc
frequently happens in matters scien
tific, was based upon a preceding mis-
take.
The conclusion was reached years
ago in scientific quarters that the
density Of cloud was proportioned to
the number Of water particles it cor
tanned, the water particles, in surn
depending upon the particles Of dust
present. Later, however, these same
authorities ascertained that their first
conclusion was wrong, and that In
many clouds the density falls far short
Of proportionality with the number OF
water particles. Further investlga
ton points to the fact that the size
Of the water particles changes with
the "age" Of the cloud. The clouds
upon which the first observations were
made must, it Is thought, have been
old clouds. and in them the water
particles, oeing comparatively large
appeared to be proportional to the
density. But the later observations
were made upon newly-formed OF
young clouds, in which thu particles
were small IN siZe.

NEGRO LODGE MEN ARRESTED
They Are Charged With Burning a
Farmers Barn.

A dispatch from Abbeville to the
Greenville News says for time Mon
day morning there was considerable
excitement in Abbeville and threats of
lynching four negroes who had been
put in Jail, charged with burning a
barn belonging to farmer by the
name OF Bradbury. together with
four fine mules and the contents of
the barn Incendiarism was suspect
ed, and some of Mr.. Bradbury's sons
stayed up to watch for developments.
In short while negro boy came
stealing up and when he saw the
white boys he ran away, but he was
followed and caught. He confessed
that he was one of four negroes who
set fire to the barn and that they
were appointed by lodge of which
they were members to fire the barn
and also the residence of Mr.. Brad
bury, and that he was returning to
fire the house when he was captured.
He said that he was compelled by the
other three to go with them to fire
the barn, and that he was threatened
with death if he told on them.
The whole trouble started about
the removal of lodge room off some
land which Mr.. Bradbury owned. The
negroes did not want to move, and
sought revenge in the torch. A mes
sage was sent the governor Tuesday
morning asking speedy trial for the
four negroes, and it is probable that
a number of other arrests will fol-
low. Feeling is intense against the
negroes under arrest, and there
might be an outbreak at any time
unless there is speedy trial.

of the convention was the exploitation
throughout the day Of Col. Theodore

for the presidential nomination. The
advocacy of Col. Roosevelt, but thin

The advocates of Col. Rooseyelt's

arguments in his behalf upon the fact
that at no time had the former pres

CHASE OF BOLD THIEF
ROBBED A STORE WHERE LITTLE
GIRL WAS CLERK.
After a Long Run, One Rascal Was
Shot, Captured, But the Other
Made His Escape.

With a severe flesh wound In tbs
left leg, just below the knee. caused
by a pistol ball from the weapon Of
one of his captors, Flux Suber, a
negro, was lodged in the Lexington
Jail Friday night. According to the
story told by the officers, Suber and
Oscar Cook, another negro, entered
the store of P. H. Stallings, tho we'll
known dry goods merchant Of Brook
land, Friday afternoo about 2:3t
o o'clock, and proceeded to take pos
session of the store, when they found
that only one clerk was in ths store
at the time-a young girl.
While one Of the lsgroes was pre-.
tending to look at some socks the
other picked up half dozen pains OF
pants, the best quality that was in
the shop. When the negro who was
looking at the socks was told by the
young lady clerk that she could no,
make the proper change to complete
the purchase, he said that was al.
right he would take Two pair, thus
saving her the trouble to secure the
change.
At one time the young woman, whe
was very much frightened, attempte:
to leave the store to report the oc
currence to the next door, but wa!
met at the door by one OF the ne
groes who had a drawn knife. Fin
ally, however, the negroes rushet
out, one of them carrying the huncl
of pants, and the clerk at once re
ported what had happened.
In very short while, it is said,
large posse was in pursuit, and so ho
became the chase that the pants Wer
dropped by one Of the culprits. AT
ter long chase across hill and dal
the men in pursuit came upon Sube1
who was commanded to halt. Instea
Of stopping the fugitive is said t
have gotten faster and faster, an
it was necessary to shoot him in th
leg to effect his capture. Cook man

John Ferguson Struck Dead by Sea-

At Rock Hill John Ferguson. sixty
nine years old, who lived near Cataw-
ba Junction, was killed Tuesday af-

running at good rate OF speed,
turned this curve. it was close upon
Mr. Ferguson. Being very deaf he
did not hear the whistle and was
struck and almost instantly killed.

Estimate Puts Yield Of Gotten at Nearly
Fifteen MiIIion Bales.
MORE Than EVER KNOWN
AL But Four of the Cotton Growing
States Establish New Production
Records for Soulh Caro-
lima Indicate Crop of Nearly Mil
lion and Half Bales.

The total production of cotton in
the United States for the season of
1911-'12 will amount to 7,121,713,-
900 pounds (not including linters),
Of 14,SS5,000 bales OF 500 pounds,
gross weight, according to the first
official estimate Of the size Of the crop
issued at 2 p. m. Tuesday by the
crop reporting board Of the United
States department Of agriculture and
made up from reports of the CORE
spondents and agents of the bureau Of
statistics throughout the cotton belt.
Heretofore the record cotton crop
was that of the year 1904, when 49,
43S,012 bales, exclusive of hnters,
were grown. Other large crops were
those of 1905, which was 1929 500
bales, and 1908, when 13,241,799
bales were grown. In point Of value,
however, the crop of 1910, which
was 11,60S,616 bales, exclusive OF
linters, was the record one, the fibre
being valued at sS2O,320,000 and the
| cotton seed at s142,S6o,O00, total
Of $3.50, $50, 900 as the aggregate val
ue of the cotton crop of that year.
| Conditions early in the growing
season this year led to the belief that
the crop would be one of record pro-
portions. First estimates OF the
Yields, based on the condition figures,
placed the probable production Well
toward the figures of the biggest crop
heretofore grown. The acreage on
which cotton was planted this season
was estimated by the department OF
agriculture to be 35,004,0oO acres, a
greater area than ever before planted
to cotton in this country. This vast
area exceeded the previous record OF
acreage by more than 100000
acres, there having been planted 3d.
444,O acres in 1908 and 32,403,00O
acres last year. In the record pro-
duction year of 1904 only 3G,053,793
acres were planted
Scorching hot and excessively dry
weather during the middle Of the
summer caused considerable damage
to cotton in many parts of the cottor
belt. Later in the season weather
conditions were distinctly favorable
in most parts of the belt and the cror
improved. The hot weather anc
drought, however, we're responsible
for a smaller yield this year than ex
perts early in the season predicted a:
a result of the record acreage anc
splendid growing conditions tnan pre-
vailing. One result Of the hot wealth
er was that the crop matured a5ou
TWO weeks earlier than usual.
The estimated production by States
in 500-pound bales, exclusive Of lin
tiers, with the acreage and yield com
parsons for 1910, and the record
years OF 1906 and 1904 follows:
