Times reports cans of baked beans
and meats were opened and partly

The cash registers at both places

Times seems to think it was.the work

town there is a class who will not
work any more than necessity com
pels them to in times when work is
plenty and wages are high. The
consequence is that when work is
scarce and wages low this class has
nothing to live on, and some openly
boast that the world owes them a

they propose to take it at the expense

the season started this spring just as
dry and this year crops are a goose
egg" He and bis son Wesley have
thirty acres of fax that looks good at
present and may make a fair crop if
rain should fall soon. He says it is
the same old thing that we went
through in this section in the early
days. People are pulling out from
the locality south of Reeder and at
this time there is an opportunity to
purchase decided land at almost any

it has been true of every new country.

Lynch Negroes.

Charlottesville, Mo-, Oct. 1.-Two
negroes, A. B. Richardson and Ben
Woods, were taken from the city jail
here last night ~by mob which bat
tered down the doors, and lynched. l.
The body of Richardson, riddled with
bullets, was found at noon to-day
floating in the Mississippi river. That
of Woods met like fate is the &C
cepted belief.
For some time feeling against the
negroes has been at a high pitch,
which presaged trouble. Negroes
known as police characters were
warned to leave the city, and many
complied.
Richardson, regarded as a desper-
ate man, was locked up while the
police investigated several robberies.
Woods was arrested last night
for an attack upon two young white
women as they were returning home
from a store in which they are en-
ployed. News of the arrest brought
Is masked men to the jail They
broke into the cells and dragged the
negroes out and disappeared.

Minister Makes Violin.

The Greenwood Journal says:
"Our old friend DR.. S. T. Hallman,
whom We have known for nearly 40
years, brought to our Office this morn
ing violin that he had made. The
instrument is a beautiful one finished
in every particular. It could not have
been more perfect had it been turned
out by factory. DR.. Mailman said
he could not get violin with tone
that suited him, and so he determin-
ed to make one.
'"The doctor began work on the
violin the last of June, and on the
29th Of August it was strung and
played. He did the work as a sum-
mer vacation. The tools used we're
improvised by him.,
"The general pattern Is Stradiva-
RUS, but it's chief outlines follow the
suggestions of Mayson, the great En-
glish violin-maker.

the violin is Gloria in altissimis Dec.

DIDN'T STAY ARRESTED.
Negro Wanted at Kingstree Makes
Escape from Sumter Jailer.

Sumter, Oct. 8.-Semiuel Ridge
way, alias James Edwards, a negro,
who was convicted at Kingstree re-
Gently Of manslaughter and a sealed
sentence left for him, was appre-
hended here to-day by Sergeant ]. M.
Barwick. This afternoon the prisoner
was turned over to Jailer Owens to
hold until Williamsburg authorities
can be notified. But Ridgeway, alias
Edwards, made a brilliant and "high
gear" getaway from the jailer just
as the Jail yard gate: was reached.
AS the prisoner was being taken
handcuffed into the jail yard he sud-
denly wheeled and struck Jailer
Owens a terrible blow in the face
with the handouts and ran through
Epperson's Hundred, thickly set
tied negro district, making good his
escape. Mr.. Owens tried to shoot at
the escaping negro, but he was going
so fast that nothing but an expert
wing shot, could touch him. Moth
ing more has been heard 80 far OF
him.

USUAL "UNLOADED" PISTOL.
Anderson Negro Youth Shoots His
Brother, who May Die.

Anderson, Oct. Ton account Of
an "unloaded" pistol Austin Thomp-
son, a little negro about IL years
old, is in the county hospital in a
dying condition, having been shot by
his brother, Steve Thompson, aged
16. The shooting occurred on the
place of Mr.. J. H. Anderson, several
miles south Of this city. The ne
groes were attending a "goober"
parching party and, according to the
accounts, were fooling with the pis-
tol. The elder brother thought the
younger one had removed all the
cartridges from the pistol and began
swapping it. The pistol fired, the
bullet hitting the little negro in the
breast, ranging downward, penetrat-
ing his stomach. The negro was
hurried to the hospital and was op-
Grated upon, but he is expected to
die. The negro who did the shoot
ing is still at home, but will surren-
der to the sheriff should the boy
die.

The High Cost Of Souls.

Rev. "Billy" Sunday, the former
baseball player who has conducted
evangelistic meetings in almost every
part of the country, has succeeded,
he thinks, in reducing the saving OF
souls to a businesslike basis. He
has gone so far as to make an esti-
mate of the cost of soul-saving in
various cities. In Mr.. Sundays cost
sheet, Indianapolis souls come high
est at $500 each.
New York City souls are quoted at
$545, while in Boston they can be
obtained for $3.50. Other quotations
are Denver s425, Chicago 1895 and
New Orleans $78.
So far as Mr.. Sunday has made in
vestigations, souls came cheapest in
Atlanta, where they may be saved for
SIS head-if souls have heads.
"Billy" Sundays figures have
aroused much mystification and con-
siderable adverse criticism. Allan
tans complain because souls are so
cheap and Indianapolis people be-
cause they are so dear. The general
impression seems to be that BILLY
Sunday acquired the percentage habit
i'm his baseball days and hasn't been
able to shake it off.-(From Success

Woman Suffrage Triumphed.

San Francisco, Oct. 12.-Woman
suffrage has triumphed in California.
Returns to-day wiped out the ma
jority previously recorded against
the amendment and since this turn
the margin in favor of the amend
ment has increased steadily.
Totals early tonight were: For
suffrage, 1906; against suffrage
117,40s. Majority for the amend
ment 1878.
These figures represent the re-
turns from 2,717 precincts out of a
total of 3,121 in the State. Virtually
all of the remaining precincts are in
counties which have given suffrage
majorities.
So overwhelming was the vote in
favor of the other important amend
ments-the initiative and referen-
dun and the recall, including the
judiciary-that tabulation of the re-
turns was suspended with nearly a
third of the precincts remaining un-
reported. The final count taken
showed the following results:
For the initiative and referendum
13S,181; against 44,S50; for the re-
call 14s,572; against 1920.

100000 BALES?
Government Report Indicates CroI
Will be the Largest Ever Grown.

The cotton crop of the growing
season of 1911, which early in the
year gave indications that it would
be one of the largest in the history
Of the indsutry, will approximate 49,
S68,33S bales of 500 pounds or
about 100000 bales more than the
record of 1904. This was indicated
by the final condition report Of the
department of agriculture issued
Monday, which showed the crop to
be I'LL per cent. of normal on Sep
tember Is.
While there were declines in the
condition in most States there was
an improvement Of 2 per cent. in
Texas and 1 per cent. in North Caro-
lima. .-.. So.
With an indicated yield Of 1875
pounds to the acre, as unoficially es-
timated from Mondays condition fig
ures, and the planted area; the 1911
crop undoubtedly will go down as
the biggest on record.
Texas Has Big Crop.
The estimated production of cot

of Mondays report shows the crop OF
Texas to be almost 100000 bales
more than last year.
Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas,

good increases, while South Carolina
showed a decrease.

The army worm has made it's ap-
pearance in several sections of the
State and is doing considerable dam
age to the cotton crop. The worm
takes the stalks as they come, eating
away the foliage and other tender
portions of the stalk. After the in
sect makes it appearance in a field
it is only a day or so until the stalks
are stripped of their foliage. Some
people claim that the cotton will not
be damaged by the ravages of the
worm, but many Others say that the
damage will be great.
