COTTON IN FIELD 8 MONTHS.
Omen Bolls Had Been in Florence
Field Since August.

Florence, May S.-One of the
strangest sights was seen during the
present week. While on visit to
the lower part of the county this
week a field of cotton of nearly fifty
acres was to be seen with hardly a
boil of it picked. The cotton haa
been standing in the field since last
August and September throughout
the winter, and instead of being
white and fieecy it had become dark
and matted from dust and rain. 1t
was being ploughed under by the
owner of the plantation and will be
used as fertilizer. This cotton had
been standing open in the field for
nearly eight months. 1t is seldom ii
ever such thing is seen in this neck

CHILD GIVEN $4,000 VERDICT.
Suit for Personal Injuries Against
City of Florence.

Florence, May 9.-in the civil
court here to-day the jury in the case
of Frances Stone, a minor child OF
Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Stone, VS. the city
of Florence, brought in a verdict OF
$4,000 in favor of the child.
The origin of the suit was that the
city was filing up the big ditch in
South Mcqueen street with trash
The street hands or some one set
fire to the trash and left it shoulder
ing. Later, little Frances Stone, liv-
ing nearby, was playing near the
ditch and fell in. She was badly
burned and her parents brought suit
for damages, which the jury evident
ly thought they were entitled to.
They asked for $4,000.

NEAR-BEER IN CHEROKEE.
Saloon Will be Opened Despite Raid
Last Year-Judge Sease's Order.

Gaffney, May 9.-Another legal
fight over the matter of the sale OF
near-beer, sometimes known in Gaff-
ney as "knee-high,' is now impend-
ing. About a year ago there were
four houses is Gaffney, selling this
most popular article and doing a
profitable business. Orders were re-
ceived by Sheriff Thomas from the
governor to move on the place and
capture all goods on hand, and this
was done. The men conducting the
places were arrested and given pre-
liminary hearing and bound over to
court. However, this case was set
tied by giving the beer back to the
defendants with the understanding
that they ship it back to the makers
and abstain most religiously in the
future from selling the product.
Now comes a man from Spartan
burg, exhibiting an order handed
down by Judge T. S. Sease, OF the
circuit court, which prohibits the
municipal authorities in Spartanburg
from interfering with the sale OF
near-beer. This gentleman states
that he intends opening up a near
beer saloon in Gaffney at the earliest
possible date and that he does not
anticipate any interference on the
part of the Gaffney authorities.
Mayor Butler is out of the city,
and, therefore, could not be inter-
viewed as to what steps he intended
taking when the saloon opens, or
whether he will take any action at
all. However, it is generally presum-
ed that it will not be necessary for
the city authorities to interfere, be-
cause of the fact that it was the
county officials who broke up the
playhouse before and it is only logi-
cal to suppose that they will again
raid the place in case another is
opened up. The fight will be watch
ed with considerable interest.

DRIVER HURT, MULES KILLED.
Accident at Southern Railway Cross
ing, Near Camden.

Camden, May 9.-George Dubose,
a we'll known negro, was seriously in
jured, and the two mules hitched to
the wagon that he was driving were
killed by the southbound 10 a. m.
Southern train, on the road leading
to the Pine Creek Cotton Mill, a
quarter of q mile above the South
ern station. Dubose was going to
the cotton mill to deliver groceries
for Sheehan & Brother, and it is said
that he could not see the train until
it was almost on him, on account OF
the vines and hedges nearby, which
obscure the view of southbound
trains. Dubose's injuries are not
fatal, but are very painful. The
mules belonged to Sheehan & Broth
er, and are said to be very valuable.
The crossing at this point is a very
dangerous one. The grand jury has
often called the courts attention to
it and and the railroad authorities
have been requested to improve the
crossing. Seven years ago Mr.. Os-
teen, a we'll known Camden man,
was killed at the same spot, and sew
eral other persons, have had close
escapes at various times. The Os-
teen family received $4,000 ver-
dict from the railroad for the death
of Mr. OSteen.

Solve Mystery of Haunted House.


Elwood, Ind, May S.-Elwood's S
haunted" house problem has been
solved after five years, and the
"ghost' proved to be electricity.
A ten-room house that was former
ly owned by Frederick Hatman, and
which was built for boarding house
in the boom days of the city, has
been unoccupied for years owing to
the strange and uncanny happenings
at night.
Apparent hammering of the water
and gas pipes aroused the sleepers
at night. Gas jets would light them
selves at intervals, one room in par
ticular being flooded with light as
soon as the door was opened. A
rigid investigation failed toreveal the
"spooks," but the house could not
keep a tenant long, owing to the
freak things going on within.
The property passed into new
hands recently, and in repairing it
the workmen found that poor electric
wiring was the cause of all the
trouble. The wires came in contact
with the gas pipes, the gas tips acted
as spark plugs, lighting the gas at
intervals.
The hammering sounds were
caused by the electric current con-
tracing the pipes.
After removing the old gas fixtures
and rewriting the building the freak
happenings and noises ceased.
