dunn method in fixing the penalty of
Will Barrett, charged with assault
to rob and assault to kill.
Several leading society and church
women appeared in behalf Of the ~

been made requesting that a light
sentence be imposed Judge Brand
polled the jury and spectators. By a
rising vote majority favored a pen
itentiary sentence in lieu of fine,
and the former will be imposed.

COTTON ACREAGE AND YIELD.
Revised Figures for 1911 Given by
Agricultural Department.

Washington, May ia revision
by the department of agriculture of
it's preliminary estimate of the areas
planted to cotton last year, based on
the result of a special investigation
and the census bureaus report of the
quantity of cotton ginned that season
places the 1911 acreage at 36,681,-
900 instead of 35,O04,000 acres, as
estimated by the department last
June. On these revised figures the
department will base it's estimate of
the acreage planted to cotton this
year. The report is scheduled for
issuance Tuesday, June 4, at noon.
The yield of cotton per acre in
1911 is estimated at 207.7 pounds,
the largest on record since 1857 with
one exception, 1898, compared with
1907 pounds in 1910, and 154.3
pounds in 1909. The area picked
last year was about 1000 acres,
about IL per cent of the planted
area having been abandoned.

GOsnell Sent to Jail.

Campobeilo, May 16.-Allendar
Gosnell, the young white man who
was arrested yesterday near Landrum
by Constable ]. O. Caldwell on
warrant sworn out by B. A. Wharton,
deputy insurance commissioner, on
the charge of having burned the res
idence and four children of w. ].
Gibson, of this place, January %,
was carried to Spartanburg last night
for safekeeping until the witnesses
might be summoned for the prelim-
mary, which was held this afternoon
by Magistrate ]. L. Poole.
The prisoner was brought here yes
terday morning about II o'clock and
placed in the local lookup" pending
preliminary which was to have been
held yesterday afternoon. He was
brought in and locked up so quietly
that not more than four or five of
the citizens were aware of his having
been arrested or even so much as
suspected, and was kept confined all
day without more than score peo-
pie having knowledge of his arrest,
and the greater part of these merely
guessed at the cause of the arrest.
1t was deemed more expedient that
it should not be known generally
why he had been arrested, owing to
the high feeling of the neighborhood
in regard to it, and should it have
become known there is no doubt that
there would have been trouble here
yesterday afternoon or early last
night.
At the preliminary held this after
noon before Magistrate Poole only
enough evidence was taken to send
the case up to the court of general
sessions and to prevent the prisoner
from securing bail. The testimony of
only three witnesses was taken in
which were threats of burning and
expressions of satisfaction OF the
dwelling and children having been
burned formed the testimony. The
chief witnesses for the State were not
put up, but Deputy Wharton says that
there are a number whose testimony
collectively will undoubtedly convict.
|. A great crowd has been in town all
day in hopes of hearing the investi-
cation. The hearing was secretly
held, there being only II in the
room in order to avoid any display of
feeling.
Sheriff White, who accompanied
Constable Caldwell and Gosnell from
the jail at Spartanburg this morn
ing, removed the prisoner again to
the county jail this afternoon.

Posses After Bandits.

New Orleans, May 1.-Two pos
ses are securing the country along
the Gulf and Ship Island roalroad
to-day between Gulfport and Rails
ton, Miss, in search of the two ban
dts who robbed the express car on
the New Orleans and Northeastern
train near Hattiesburg early Wednes-
day morning. The robbers were
traced yesterday to point below
Ralston and detectives believe they
planned to make their getaway
in a gasoline launch hidden in some
of the small streams in that section.
The Southern Express company Of
ficials continue to deny that the sum
taken from the safe by the robbers
was large, declaring it "only amounts
to a few thousand dollars
However, out Of a total of about
40 packages which the express Of
ficials admit were in the safe, posi-
tive evidence has been obtained that
four of these contained total of
$4,000. One shipment, containing
the monthly payroll of the New Or
leans and Northeastern railroad at
Meridian, contained $1,000.

HENRY CLAY PRACTICALLY
A SELF-EDUCATED MAN.
His Early School Days in Virginia Gave Him
the Familiar Nickname of "The Mill
Boy of the Sashes."


Clay said: Earlier it was thought
that a gentleman's head could not
withstand the influence Of Soils heat
unless covered with London hat,
that his feet could not bear the peb-
bles or frost unless protected by Lon
don shoes; and the comfort or orna-
ment of his person was not satisfac-
tory unless his coat was cut out by
the shears of a tailor just from Lon
DON" There was pleasure and pride,
he thought, in being clad in the pro-
ductions of our own families, and
with youthful ardor he exclaimed:
"Others may prefer the clothes of
Leeds and of London, but give me
those of Humphreyville.
In 1908 Clay was again in the
United States senate by appointment,
and at the conclusion of the war of
1912 he was selected as one of the
American commission to negotiate
the peace of Client.
From this on his political career
was varied. He was the most prom
inent figure in the Missouri compro-
mise controversy, and when Mr..
Preston, of Kentucky, told him that
the compromise measure, which he
advocated as a means of preserving
the Union, would hinder his chances
for the presidency, it was then he
made the famous reply: Il would
rather be right than be president.
Another of Clay's familiar sayings
at this time was: II known no north,
no south, no east, no west. If Ken
lucky should tomorrow unfurl the
banner of resistance unjustly will
never fight under that banner. l owe
a paramount allegiance to the whole
United States; a subordinate one to
my own State. The senator speaks
of Virginia being my country. The
Union, sir, is my country
Three times Clay was made the
candidate of his party for the high
est office in the gift of the people,
but the "Mill Boy of the Slashes"
was not to attain this honor. Each
time he came near winning, and up
on the second occasion, when he was
defeated by "Old Hickory" he was
not very great loser, and at his last
defeat, in 1884, he received only a
few thousand votes less than James
K. Polk.
In all these campaigns the nick
name of Clay, 1.-The Mill Boy of the
Slashes,' was used conspicuously at
all the political gatherings very much
the same way as "Old Tippecanoe'
and LOG Cabin and Hard Cider"
were used d1ring the presidential
compaigns of Harrison and Tyler.
Time has not lessened the Ameri-
can regard for Henry Clay, but rather
each year the memory of the wonder
full accomplishments of the poor boy
of the Slashes' is becoming perma-
nently stamped upon the people of
the United States and upon the pages
of history.
