An interesting chapter in phi1ate1fc

is closed by the decision to suppress
the foreign postal agencies in Crete

NEGRO KILLED AT FORT LAWN.
Hurry Call for Officers Creates EX-
citement at Chester.

Chester, July PA request from
Intendant W. l.. Abernathy, of Fort
Lawn, this morning for Sheriff Col
vim to hurry deputies to that place
as there was danger of a negro up
rising in consequence of negro nam
ed Seed Cunningham having been ia
tally wounded by two officers who
had been sent to arrest him, created
a stir here, but the trouble blew over
and the officers found everything
quiet at Fort Lawn upon their arrival
there. Cunningham, it seems, had
been engaged in a row with another
negro, who reported the matter to
the authorities. Deputies Claude
Turner and Jacob Luckey went to
Cunningham's house to arrest him
and were met with resistance, Cum
ningham making a grab for Mr.. Tur-
ner's revolver and all but securing it.
In the melee the negro was shot and
died later in the day.,

NEGRO KILLED NEAR FLORENCE
Rollie Rouse, of Evergreen Section,
Killed by His Father.

Florence, July 1S.-Rollie Rouse,
a negro in the Evergreen seton, was
killed by his father, Mack Rouse,
yesterday evening. The trouble
seems to have been caused from a
family quarrel. Some time after sup
per Mack Rouse, it seems, was hav-
ing some trouble with his daughter,
when his son Rollie walked into the
room, and after a few words, struck
his father with stick. Mack Rouse
snatched the stick from Rollie and
hit him on the head. The wounded
man walked out On the piazza and
later, with assistance, he reached his
bed, where he died in short while.
At the inquest this morning a jury
empanelled by Coroner Gum brought
in verdict that Rollie Rouse came
to his death as the result of a blow
administered with a stick in the
hands of Mack Rouse From the
testimony given at the inquest it
seems that Mack was drinking at the
time of the difficulty and was having
trouble with the family. On inVesti-
cation it was found that the skull
of the deceased man had been frac-
tured several years ago, and the
blow hit near this old wound may
have been the direct cause of his
death. Mack Rouse is held charged
with the murder of his son and is
now in the county prison.

CONV1CTS BURN IN IRON CAGE
Trapped Like So Many Rats Negroes
Are Roasted Alive.

Jackson, Miss, July 22.-Trapped
bv flames in the second story of an
antiquated convict cage the first floor
of which was used to store hay,
grain and molasses, thirty-five ne
groe prisoners were burned to death
at the Oakley convict farm, 20 miles
from here, late last night.
With the flames rapidly eating
away on the only stairway leading to
the second floor the entrapped prls-
oners frantically tore at the heavy
bars that covered the windows, but
to no avail. Their screams brought
the two night guards to the scene be-
fore they had seen the flames and
soon other prison attaches hurried to
the cage" Their efforts were futile
however, as the flames drove them
back each time they attempted to lib
crate the men. At last they stood
aghast when slowly the frantic
screams of the burning convicts died
away as one after another succumbed
to the flames. Finally all was quiet
and the smell of burning human flesh
permeated the air as the flames burn
ed the last of the building.

Cotton.
The Money in the Crop and a Boston
Papers Idea of it.

In 1911 the United States raised a
cotton crop of over 100000 bales
as against 11,5Oo,OOO bales in 1910
and 1O,OO0,O0O bales in 1909. This
crop broke ali records and although
it seemingly oversupplied the market,
the prices obtained were in the main
good. In 1912 the production was
over 14,O00,0OO bales, but the small
er crop brought cash return OF
something like 100,000,00O in ex-
cess of that received for the larger.
This indicated, among other things,
that the market was not actually
overstocked by the record crop, but
that it lacked facilities for absorbing
it. At all events the planters were
not deferred from increasing the
acreage this year and government
statistics show that the 1913 yield
will in all probability exceed l5,000,-
900 bales. Should July and August
prove favorable to the staple, the
crop of this year will bring the cot
ton production of the Southern states
for the three years up to at least 45,-
100000 bales.
What does this mean in money
value? 1t is but reasonable expec-
tation that an average price of IL
cents a pound for the producer will
be obtained this year. This would
bring the value of the growing crop
to the farmer up to s825,000,000,
exclusive of the seed, or about $780,
100000 in all. Taking 1913 as the
average year of the period, the total
value Of the raw cotton crop for the
three years would be s2,700,000 200.
The Southern states are enjoying
great prosperity. The south, from it's
enlarged income, has been able to
provide for development that must
increase it's productive capacity tre-
mendously. Among it's conservative
people there is still a strong DISPOSE
tion to warn the planters against con-
tinuous cotton planting, but despite
numerous predictions of failure, the
land continues to yield abundantly
of the staple, and, as has been seen,
it's selling value is well maintained.
More skillful farming will explain
one phase of this happy, result, an
ever-broadening market the other.
The South, in view Of it's experience
in recent years, is, and has right to
be, optimistic with regard to the
future. 1t has learned severe les
sons; it's confidence is due in very
large part to it's belief that it has
learned them well-Christian Science

CONDUCTOR GILLESPIE SHOT.
Possee Leaves A. G. L. Train and
Captures Negroes Near Lanes

Kingstree, July 19.-Conductor ].
L. Gillespie, running Train No. At,
between here and Orangeburg, was
shot this evening by two negroes be-
tween Kingstree and Lanes.
A message was received here about
7 o'clock conveying news of the
shooting and requesting that the
sheriff, with blood-hounds, be dis
patched to Salters without delay, to
go in pursuit of two negro men who
had shot Conductor Gillespie.
The facts in the case, as given to
the correspondent of The News and
Courier by Agent T. E. Baggett, of
the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad at
this place, is in effect that some ne
groes were misbehaving on the train
and Conductor Gillespie went 70 them
in an effort to quiet them. Two of
the negroes turned on the conductor
and, as he started to leave the car,
one of them fired a pistol at him, the
ball entering his back. Immediately
after the shooting the two negroes
jumped off the train and made for
the woods.
A posse jumped off and gave pur-
suit, shortly afterwards capturing
both negroes, but not until one OF
them had been severely shot for re-
sisting.
Mr.. Gillespie was sent back to Flor
ence on Train No. 80 for treatment.
In the absence of Sheriff Graham a
deputy sheriff will leave here to-
night on Train SO to bring the two
negroes to Kingstree on Train &c,
which reaches here about midnight.
It was impossible to learn the ma
ture of the injury received by the
conductor, as it is also to learn
whether or not the negro is badly
wounded.
Mr.. Gillespie, who is one of the
youngest and most popular conduc-
tors on the road Some time ago he
was attacked by two Ward brothers
at Cadea.

Irish lace originated from the fail
ure of the potato crop that caused

a convent in County Cork, looking
about for some lucrative en-
ployment to help the half starved
children who attended her schools,
unraveled thread by thread scrap

then selected the girls who were
quickest at needlework and taught
