MOB USES DYNAMITE

Spartanburg. S. c.. Aug. 18.-
Three men, Frank Eppley. J. C.
Owensby and John Turner were
seriously wounded tonight when q
mob stormed the county Jail in an
effort to lynch Will Fair, a negro
prisoner charged with assaulting q
young white woman near here
today. Sheriff White and a deputy,
facing the mob alone. repeatedly
drove them back with pistol shots
when they advanced with batterine
rams.
Members Of the mob finally re-
turned the fife and in the darkness
the three men were struck. They
were not fatally wounded but were
taken to a hospital for attention.
Tbs young woman was assault
ed in a lonely farm hous. this
morning in the absence of her hus-
band.
Several charges of dynamite were
exploded late tonight by the mob
in an effort to enter the Jail. After
l4iey had blown down a portion of
the outer wall they were impressed
by the SHOW of strength inside the
Jail and retired, but threats were
made to return later with nitro
glycerine which they proposed to
obtain from a railroad construction
camp. Hundreds of pistol and rifle
shots were fired when the dyna-
mite was exploded, but so far as
can be learned no Orhers were in
jured.
Governor Blease was appealed to
late tonight to call out the militia
to protect Fair. He refused, but
announced that he would order a
special term of court to try the
negrO.-Ashevtlle Citizen.

SLIT SKIRT IN BELHAVEN.

Special to News and Observer.)
Washington. August 18-The fol
lowing story comes from Belhaven
and is said to be correct in every
detail:
One of the prominent young lad
les of the city appeared on the
streets in green silk silt skirt"
She turned up Main street and her
appearance caused a large crowd to
gather. The slit was on the right
Of the skirt and enabled the lockers
to catch d glimse Of gray hosiery,
at intervals. The loud laughter
and remarks made by the spectators
attracted the attention of one of
the police force. He hurried to the
scene, and forcing his way to the
centre of the crowd asked the young
lady what the trouble was.
I wish you would make them
stop following me, she said fearful
ly,
We'll what are they chasing you
for?" asked the officer.
The young lady blushed prettily
and just then. the police man hap
pened to catch glimpse Of the
slit skirt.
He couehed nervously, but hesi-
tated only for a second. Calling
to the proprietor of the millinery
store in front of which they were
standing. he asked the man to send
out one of his employees with a
needle and some thread. When
the lady arrived, he ordered her to
sew up the offending slit. And in
the presence of the crowd, this was
done. Then, with a word o. warn
ing, relative to the young ladys
futher appearance in a slit skirt, he
allowed her proceed on her way.

The JOURNAL Job Department he's
just completed and delivered the
premium list for the annual Fair G;
the jackson County Fair Associa-
ton to be held at Sylvia September
%, "a, Is and 26.
In some respects the Fair this
year is to be unique, as will be seen
from the announcement of the Fair
Association that there will be no
entrance fees charged but that
premiums will be paid on anything
OF merit. This places the Fair be-
fore the public not as monev
making scheme but as the peoples
Fair OF Jackson county whose sole
aim and purpose is to ENCOURAGE
stimulate and assist in the general
uprbuilding of every worthy indus
try and enterprise in jackson coun-
ty, to bring the people together that
each may learn and profit by the
successes of the others, to create a
friendly rivalry between tn farm
|ers and stock-raisers of the county.
and thus increase the productive
wealth of the whole.
This also shifts the responsibility
for the success or failure of the
fair from the fair Association and
places it directly upon the people.
The fairs heretofore held in Jack
son county have been phenomenal
ly successful and it is certain that
the people of Jackson county are
going to make the one this year the
most successful in every respect
that has yet been held. We have
the products. This bas been one OF
the most favorable of seasons fol
the farmers. They have prospered
to a marked degree. And when
the fair comes around and the
wonderful gifts of nature assisted
by the husbandry and handicraf,
of our people are placed on display
for the world to admire it is going te
be a sight worth seeing.

the admlnslrauon plans to care for
several DO s, and the lady in charge
will give meals to others who Will

marketing of this years apples will
soon be over. MIR. skinner said yester.
day:
The atmosphere in the apple mar
kets is gradually rising and shows a
marked Improvement. The northwest
shippers are nearing the end of their
shipping, a number of districts report
ing that their crop is picked, packed
and sold. Mosier has been entirely sold
out for some time. having disposed of
the bulk of their crop to one Of the
larger dealers in New York. Walla
Walla growers report they will see end
OF their crop this week. Several other
Washington districts have finished their
season. Mr.. Sieg, of the local associa-
ton is open to congratulations or hav-
ing sold the entire Hood River crop at
so early a date as reported in an inter-
view IN the Sundays Oregouian.
III this means happiness for the
northwest shippers, because the full
returns should be in the hands of the
growers not later than January. II
also means that the storage charges AT
this end are eliminated, an extra ten
cents a box or the growers TO speud.

LOCAL ASSOCIATION
SHIPS Is CARS DAILY

Although deliveries have been more
irregular and unsatisfactory than |
have ever seen them here before, " says
Wilmer Sieg, 1--WE are shipping out
from our warehouses an average of Is
carloads of fruit per day. We have
still got lot of orders to ill. and are
making every effort to have the grow
ers make their deliveries at once. But
they don't seem to realize the import
ance of getting the apples in. The
condition has been caused to a great
extent by the weather. Rains have
been prevailing and the growers have
been devoting all of their time toward
getting their entire crops packed and
ready for hauling
MIR. Sieg states that the Distributors
are gratified at the action taken by the
Oregon City growers to affiliate with
the central agency.
II. F. Davidson arrived in New York
Monday. He writes back that he has
been visiting the middle western offices
of the central selling agency and finds
after checking up that the business
has been very satisfactory 'Weak-
ened market conditions in the east are
causing some uneasiness, says MIR.

of our fruit is sold.

OBSERVES APPLE DAY

Among the Portland hotels that OBJ
served apple day. none paid more at
tention to the popularizing of the fruit
than the Imperial hotel. The publicly
that the hotelmen all over the country
gave the apple on that day is a source
of qualification to the growers.

ial hotel, wrote to +. l.. Smith as fol
lows:
Under separate cover, am sending
you one of our Apple Day menus, tC
give you some idea of the Importance
the Imperial Hotel Company attaches
to the apple.
Knowing you to be one of the pio.
neer apple growers in the state of Ore.
gon and one to whom the industry is SC
much indebted because of the benefit
of your years of experience and hare

you as to what influence the observa.
tion of Apple Day by the leading hotels
throughout the United States will have
upon the industry.

PROTECTIVE LEAGUE
WILL BE FORMED

The formation of Deciduous Pro-
tective Leagne, declared to be as vital
TO the success of the fruit industry Of
the northwest as the formation of the
great North Pacific Fruit Distributors
Association, may result from the con-
ference of growers held at the sixth
National apple show.
The trend of the daily conferences
held last week is toward the formation
of an organization of growers, whose
purpose will be to protect by any and
every method the orchards of this ter
ritory from insect pest.
The proposed Deciduous Protective
League of the Northwest will be larger
in scope than the organization Of the
big conference in Spokane last year, as
il will take in all fruit growers and
members of other selling agencies than
the North Pacific Distributors and the
Northwest Fruit Exchange, which di-
vide the field and are the two strongest
selling agencies in this territory.
The great purpose of the Deciduous
League will be to stamp out fruit pests
and adopt honorable methods, by legis-
lation or experiment. TO bring about
this desired result.
A toll Of less than one-quarter of a
cent box on the apple shipments of
this year will create a greater fighting
fund for this purpose than California
has" declared W. +. Romans, of the
National apple show management.
That the growers themselves should
control the league and all its activities
is the belief of those interested in its
formation, and unless this can be guar
anteed, it is asserted, the plan will not
be a success.

MOSBY FLED WITH HIS MEN.
An Attack That Wholly Demoralized
the Partisan Rangers.


the Partisan Rangers.
Colonel John ). Mostly, commander
Of the Partisan rangers, who gave
such dashing service in the southern
cause, told Of an amusing incident in
which he figured.
In the summer Of 1864 when General
Phil Sheridan was in the valley of the
! Shenandoah he found himself much
harassed by Mosby. who was continu'
ally cutting off his supply trains. An
army cannot fight ON an empty stom-
ach, and Mosby knew 1t. One bright
morning AIosby heard that a long sup
pig train was winding its way down
the valley. BY noon the rangers in
their gray uniforms were gathered at
the forks Of the valley pike, watching
for the head Of the wagon train to ap-
pear
Presently a cloud of dust was seen
rising far up the road, and as the wind
blew it aside the Confederates caught
sight of IA line Of men in blue escOrting
a caravan of numbering wagons drawn
by mules Instantly Mosby gave the
order to run little howitzer up on the
side of a hill and unlimber it, As soon
rs the gun had opened fire the rest OF
the men were to make a cavalry charge
and throw the train into confusion.
The rangers jerked the gun into po-
sitlon and began TO swab it out. Sud
denly the man with the swab gave
shrill YELL seized the seat of his panta-
looms and fled down the hill and out
into the road, Almost in the same
moment the other man ut the gun
abandoned it. He seemed to be fight
ing at the air as he disappeared over
a stone wall.
The suffers wagons were creeping
nearer, and Mosby did not know what
to think of such extraordinary conduct.
He ordered four more men to the gun,
but hardly had they reached it when
they, too yelled, began TO beat the air
madIy with their hats and took to
flight
Squirting his horse over the stone
wall, Mosby rode toward the gun, but
his stay was short The howitzer stood
lust over hornets nest, and those
busy insects We're resenting the intru.
sion. They had repealed the invaders
on foot and now they swarmed on
Mosby's horse till the maddened ami
nal tore off down the pike on a run.
Then they turned their attention to
the rest of the troop.
Their attack was so vicious that the
rangers gave up any idea of standing
by the gun, They scattered far and
wide, and 1t was an hour before they
returned. When they did the wagon
train had safely vanished in the dis
tance So the hornets saved the day
for Sheridan-Youths Companion.
