Pisgah Notes and Comments.

Pisgah, April 16.-Some progress
vas made on the farms during the
asst two weeks. The land got very
hard in places and recent rains have
heen very beneficial.
Most of the guano used is low
grade. Very little high grade is
bought.
More effort is being made towards
making the farmers self-sustaiaing.
The Williamson plan Of corn planting
has gone where the wood bine twin
eth. One planter near here last year
used about $50 worth of guano on
an acre Of corn and he had to look
close il he found enough corn to
plant it. The stunting process is
good for nothing in neither man,
beast or crops.
Oats look fine, so are gardens. Very
little potatoes will be planted as all
rotted. From present indications if
the reasons are right think We will
make good crops and economy is be-
ing practiced as much as it is possible
to do.
Some cotton is planted and the end
Of the month will finish planting the

Mr.. Baird was arrested Wednesday
evening on information contained in a
telegram received by the sher-
if from the prosecuting attorney
residing at Rocwy Mount, the infor-
nation being in effect that Baird was
wanted there for a felony and that a
man would be sent on at once to take
him back home. AS a result of the
receipt Of this telegram, young Baird
spent last night in the county pail as
the guest Of Jailer Owens.
This is probably quite a novel ex-
perience for the young man who only
last week ran off and got married
despite his fathers objections to his
taking this step on the ground that he
was too young to get married. The
troupe to which the young couple be-
long arrived in town last Saturday
and have been giving vaudeville per-
formances and moving picaures at
the Academy of Music during the
week.
Last night Mr.. Baird, the father of
the young man, arrived in town and
at once set out to locate his son and
to see if he could net effect recon-
ciliation with him. Much was his
chagrin surprise and modification this
morning to hear that his son was in
jail charged with felony. Baird,
senior, stated this morning that his
son was guiltless of any felony. That
the only thing that he could be ac-
cnsed of was the wearing Of a suit of
clothes, which he had ordered some
time ago, without paying for, them,
and as his son was minor, being not
Yet nineteen years of age, the law
could not touch him for this offense.
Mr.. Baird further stated that he
believed this to be an attempt at
blackmail. He stated that his son
was employed as a clerk in a book
store at Rocky Mount, and his en-
ployer told him several times that his
son was getting on fine. This week.
however, after his son left the store
the employer had been 10 him with
the report that his son had stolen
sums Of money from him and other
people and if he would pay him GER
tain amount he would not prosecute
the son. He refused TO do this and
his lawyer had been to all Of the men
whom his son was accused cf stealing
from and all had denied that any
money had been stolen from them.
He had then come on to Sumter.
to see his son and was painfully
surprised to find him in Jail.
Mr.. Baird secured the services of
Mr.. l.. ID. Jennings TO get his son out
of jail and steps will be taken today
to have the matter set straight and
the young man cleared. Mr.. Baird.

worked up nine cases for selling liq-
uor and six for storing liquor, so 1t
Is stated. Subsequently two of the
parties charged pleaded guilty, but
the others demanded jury trial.
Last Saturday. according to the re-
port. they had been warned that they
had better leave Bamberg on account
OF the feeling worked up against

noticed an automobile containing
| several men whisk by.
When Garner and Carter reached

to their story. the six men who cover
ed them with guns were w. l.. Nc

one. they did not know.
They state that McPhail, acting as
leader for the "hold-ups," demanded
them 10 throw up their hands, cursed
them and asked them what they
were doing in Bamberg. Garner and
Carter stated that they showed their
commissions from Governor Blease
and the six men looked at the com
missions; that McPhail cursed the
Governor and told Garner and Carter
to tell him that Bamberg could run
itself and f.he didn't think so to come
down and do IL himself. Garner and
Carter stated that they were threat
ened with lynching. but finally the
mob" decided to let them go, but
made them surrender their pistols,
telling them the pistols would be
shipped to Columbia and for them to
beat It,"
They also stated that the "mob"
fired at their feet and sent one or
two bullets through one Of their hats.
Finally. they got away and came on

He told about spending the night

This supports the belief that Frank

mania for shooting 1t into others and
then watching It's results. This will
probably be the charge against her in

the blood ran cold In the veins OF
those nvesent.
Even the half dozen doctors who
were at the hearing must have begun
TO realize the tragedy of the dives, as
they looked upon Frankie Ford and
Carrie Arnold. human derelicts. who
were the victims Of the conditions
which have existed in West Hammond
for years
Owing to the fact that the city hall
was too small TO accommodate the
crowd. the coroner's hearing was held
in Helms hall on State street. There
were several hundred persons in the
hall.
The hearing began a 10 o'clock and
was continued until 9 o'clock in the
evening. During that time two ste
nographers took every word of testi-
mony.
The witnesses who were heard dur
ing the twelve hours of the inquest
were: Miss Virginia Brooks. David
Brockoway of De Motto, Carrie Arm
old Helen Lotier. frankie Ford Park
er. Lule Epple and her mother. Ada
Vanderbilt cooks in the Foss resort:

Henry Foss himself was placed on the
stand and frequently became confused
The coroner's jury was composed Of
the following. Stanislaw Klawitter
Arnold Krzyrzsnowsti. Otto Knott
August Brosell and Charles Dumis. 1t
was they who rendered the verdict
which resulted in the holding on $40
600 bonds of Henry Foss and Frankie
Ford
One remarkable thing about the
testimony of frankie Ford is the fact
that. although she has repeated her
testimony on four separate occasions.
she has not changed her story in one
important particular from that which
she first told.
The comedy was introduced into the
