Prattvile, September 13.-(Special.)-W l. Narramore. one of the prominent farmers of this county, shot and killed Jim Franklin at the old Hamilton place, one of Mr. Narramere's farms, late yes terday afternoon. MT. Narramore, accom- panied by Mrs. Narramore. had gone down 10 this farm in their automobile to look after some details of work when he called , Franklin from the cotton field where the deceased was picking cotton, and asked him concerning cotton seed ticket.
 The negro became enraged because he was accused of making away with the ticket and swore at the white man, from which they went to blows. After fighting for few minutes the negro reached as If for pistol when MT. Narramore, who was standing near his car, took his pis- tol from under the car seat and shot the negro, killing him instantly The ball took effect in the negro's breast, perhaps going through the heart. There was but one eye witness, Mrs. Narramore, wife of the accused.

..'sMTER COUNTY
 ' MEN ARE GLOOMY
Cotton Crop Has Been Very
 Disappointing
ARE RAISING PEANUTS
Judge Sprott and w. K. Pickens Here-Mr. Pickens Intends to Bring Some of His
 Peanuts to Fair

Judge S. H. Sprott and W. K. Plckehs of Livingston, were In Birmingham iase night at the Morris hotel. Both men gave rather gloomy reports of the crop sitaa- stIon in Sumter county. and declared that brilliant prospects at the beginning of the summer had been reduced by unfavor- able conditions to a very poor actuality.
 ."rhe cotton crop In Sumter county is going to be poor,' declared Judge Sprott. . We have been greatly disappointed. Two months ago our prospects were the finest we ever had, but now doubt whether we shall harvest as large crop as last year. Corn, too, has been damaged greatly
 MT. Pickens said, "The crop is in de- plorable condition. Two months ago wc had the most propising conditions. But a long drouth, followed by too much rain, in short unfavorable weather conditions and last, the army worm, have cut eff the crop until it is away below normal.
 "I believe that 9-10th of the cotton be- tween Livingston and Birmingham is open and being picked; and I don't believe there will be but one picking. There won't be anything to pick the second time.
 ."rhere is one thing that most people lose sight of. and that Is that the cotto crop. is ordinarily determined by when frost falls. In other words, cotton is still making until the frost cuts it off. frost falls. That will not be a factor in the size of this years crop.
 ''I have been apprehending the appear ance of the boil weevil, and have been in correspondence with some peanut oil peo- pie in Mississippi regarding the fight to make on the weevil. They replied If you are threatened with the boil weevil, you are down and out already. We have fought the weevil for four years and each year it was worse than before. As a result of that experience our people began to raise peanuts as the money crop. The first year they did not meey with much success, because they were not familiar with the method of cultiya- tion, but this year they are making a big crop, and are we'll pleased with the crop
 The only way to fight the boil weevil as by diversified crops. If we can't raise
 
 am raising peanuts. and am trying to get the people in Sumter county to take that scrop up instead of cotton The yield of peanuts ranges from 40 to 100 bushels to the acre, according to the kind of soil and the care with which they are culti- vated. and they bring from 75 cents to s1 :,
 of peanuts on the vine. ana 1 will make more money out of them than any .,ot- Jon raiser in my county will make.
 f'The peanut vines are valuable, too. As hay they are equal to alfalfa, and so ranked by government reports.
 T am going to give an object lesson to the people by bringing up to the state fair some vines just as they are pulled up out of the ground, and let people see just how much good, nutritious food there is in them"

EXPECT DECLINE
 IN SUGAR MARKET

New York, September 13.-"Happily. the domestic sugar crops promise good yield and with their harvesting. which will be in full progress in De- tober, the present furry should dis appear"
 So reads in part a statement issued tonight by the American Sugar Re- fnfng company. disclaiming responsi- bility for what may be called the ab- normal rise
 The company sites shortage of about 100000 tons in Cuba, impairment of the growing beet sugar crop and speculation in Europe on the basis of the threatened scarcity as having caused an advance of 3% cents per pound in the leading European markets since June 15 and a rise of "a cents by growers of cane sugar in the same period.
 The company explains that 1t does not produce raw sugar, and has been compelled to secure its supplies from foreign sources at constantly advanc- ing prices.
 AS regards our policy" adds the statement, we have fairly maintained a stable margin between raw and re- fined sugars. Throughout the rise our prices have frequently been from 10 cents to 25 cents per 100 pounds below other reiners.
 We share the hope which every con- sumer undoubtedly entertains. that Is, that the loss in Europe has been ex- aggerated and likewise the calls upon what are almost exclusive American supplies of raw sugar will gradually diminish.
 Tn the meantime our policy as re- gards reasonable margin will be con- tinued."

HAWKINS MYSTERY PROVESSENSAT|ON Coroner States Girl Met Death From Unlawful
 Operation

Hendersonville. N. C., September>1S.-- = Positive announcement was made tonight by Coroner w. R. Kirk that Myrtle flaw kins, whose body was found in Lake Osceola Sunday, died as the result of an unlawful operation The coroners jury which gave a verdict of death from "un- known causes.'' knew this fact at the time of the inquest, but made their finding indefinite in order to allay suspicion of the girls slayer and make easier the detection of the criminal, Coroner Kirk states tonight.
 It was only after a storm of criticism from the general public that the coroner revealed the true situation and announced that another inquest would be held Fri day. Miss Hawkins body will not be exhumed he said, as this was considered unnecessary There were rumors tonight that an arrest would follow Fridays in- quest at which additional evidence will be presented
 Coroner Kirk tonight admitted that the autopsy revealed the true conditions which led to the young worsans death After a conference with Dr. A. B. Crafts of this city, who assisted at the autopsy it was decided then that an indefinite verdict should be given in order to lull into feeling of fancied security the slayer of Miss Hawkins and thus assist in tlfe capture
 In addition to the rewards already of fered the Henderson county authorities will offer $500 for the arrest of Miss flaw kins' murderer. and the citizens of Hen dersonville will raise a fund.
 It is possible one or perhaps two men row said to be under suspicion will be arr ested, and should the authorities de- eide to make a secret second post mor- tenn examination it may not be held un- til the men have their preliminary hear ing.
 Upon the result of thorough examina- tion, to be made today, if the body of Miss Myrtle Hawkins is exhuned as planned yesterday by the coroner, de- bends. 1t is said the liberty of phys- clan of. this city.
 It is said the examination will furnish evidence sufficient to warrant an arrest, Kirk expects is not known

Tariff the One Issue

Tariff the One Issue
 Congressman Underwood thereupon branched off into a political discourse on the tariff. "rhe bulwark behind which, he said. "all political issues of today are hiding" He said that if the democratic party in its next national campaign car ries the tariff issue to the box the party will be certain to win.
 "If We allow that issue to be side tracked" he said, chances are equal that we will be defeated"
 Congressman Underwood referred to the political campaign of two years ago. "In that campaign" he said, President Taft promised the people that he would see to a revision of the tariff. He did see to 1t, but the re- vision was not downward as he prom ised the people, but upward. It was said of the tariff that 1t was the best ever written. And it was the best ever written, but 1t was only best TOT trusts and monopolies and special in- terests."
 The speaker then called attention to the election which had immediately followed upon the adoption of the tar If and drew the parallel which showed the ascendency of the democratic party in the House and the descendency of the republican party on the tariff is- sue.
 Congressman Underwood paid his re- spects in no unmistakable terms to the action of President Taft in vetoing the wool bill. "As the bill went 70 the President" he stated. it levied a tax of 4S per cent on woolen clothings. compromise for 90 per cent as orig inally conceived. But what did the President do? He said that the men who wrote the bill were not capable of handling the subject and upon the strength of it vetoed the measure"
 MT. Underwood then explained sthe purpose of the farmers free list bill, which enables the farmer of the south to compete with his foreign neighbors This bill we sent to the President but he said it was artifcially drawn It had not suffered the delicate touch of the tariff commission"

 District Attorney W. c. Hebel said he did not believe a court would is sue an injunction restraining an of- fcer from enforcing the law, and said If such was issued he would uphold the sheriff in ignoring the order.
 Promoter Mulkern would not say whether an attempt would be made to stage the affair. The general opinion among followers of the boxing sport is that the proposed bout is ended.
 The fight was called off by the Ma tional Athletic club about midnight after the lengthy conference It was evident that the stand taken by the acting governor and Sheriff Arnold, with the backing of the district attor- ney, that any attempt to put the con- test through would not be permitted
