GIRL TRAPPED
WITH ESCORT4
DAYS IN 4 CAVE
Near Death When Rescued From
Adventurous Visit to New Jer-
sey's "WaiIing Women"

NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-From the
Cave Of the waiting Woman Of
Waushaw Mountains, near Towaco
n. j., yesterday John Van Ness and
Willard circumstances BOYS who
had climbed through the scrub and
tangled briers in search of stray cows
rescued Miss Esther Schonberg and
Benjamin Handlemann, who had been
prisoners, without food and water. In
the weird pocket since Tuesday NOR l.
ing.
Both Handlemsnn and Miss Schon-
berg were nearly Unconscious. Neither
had had the strength to assist in their
rescue. An occasional weak, pitifuJ
cry was all that their strength per-
mitted.
Girls Hair Turns Gray.
Miss Schonberg's hair, black as O
shoe when the spirit OF adventure
1rew her into the cave Tuesday, had
turned ashen gray. Hysteria had pos
sessed her and the horror of her ad-
venture had bereft her temporarily Of
reason.
Handlemann. his hands and legs torn
In his futile attempts to climb the
scraggy walls of the cave, had just
strength enough to slip around the
body of his companion the rope which
Van Ness and Doremus lowered from
above. He was not able TO assist
himself.
Tales Of Fabulous Wealth,
Years ago prospectors discovered
gold quartz in Waushaw Mountain.
Money was rised and machinery
bought. Wild tales of wealth went
broadcast. Prosperous farmers sold
h.A,- al a.. = l..
gan to spread it's wonted desolatio1
over North Jersey.
The alarm was false. The rugged
old mountain produced hardly enough
gold to pay the railroad fares of the
maddened men who fought for claims.
But there was left a cave and n
tunnel where the men had dug and
fought Twelve feet deep, the cave
was dug vertically from the face of
a table rock halfwa up the noun
tain side. The opening is less than
Ave feet wide. Into this hole the
winds rattle in their whistling Jour
ney through the pines. And back
into the tunnel the wind rushes to
make a wild call that starts in a
trembling falsetto and ends In a mes-
20 moan.
Thus came the "Wailing Woman"
duced to her in the daytime. The al
venture COMPRISES taking a rope lad
der to the cave bottom. But 1t is a
fearsome task, and few visit her.
Secret Visit to Cave.
Miss Schonberg and Handlemann
have been living at the home II
Abram SwaranslSi in Towaco. Last
Tuesday they made a secret pact to
visit the "Wailing Woman" and ask
her why she moaned.
The moan met them as they as
cended. Miss Schonberg declared that
1t was the cry Of real woman and
that the winds were not to blame
Miss Schonberg descended the lad der
in safety. Handlemann followed htc.
And as he did this rope parted.

LOCAL MERCHANTS
Open week WITH .
A SPLENDID TRADE
MONDAY WAS AN UNUSUALLY
GOOD ONE IN ALL LINES OF
BUSINESS.
BUYING WAS VERY LIBERAL
Farmers and Their Wives Here In
Force to Get Things for the Coming
Cold Weather-The Hardware Men
Pleased With the Days Trade.

Columbia merchants had on Mon
day one of the biggest days that they
have had in long time. There were
no particular inducements except the
well known fact that folks who want
goods of any sort and at the lowest
prices consistent with good business
can always depend upon the mer-
chants of Columbia to supply them.
Trade was good in all lines. The
department stores had big business
all during the day The women from
all over the county were here to do
their fall shopping. They sold heav-
lily in all lines of fall and winter
wearables The shoe stores did fine
business.
The hardware merchants also had
the smiles that would not come of.
Mr.. Farmer was here looking for ma-
chinery to put in the fall crops. New
wagons and buggies were sold and
many an old nag was resplendent
this morning in set of new harness
or gear There are some weddings
to come off and the jewelry stores
were not overlooked in the buying. In
fact it was altogether first class
trading day and regular FIRST Mon
day" for buying. ~
With the coming Of the rains the
farmers have much more optimis-
tic feeling. They have had time to
take stock and while the crops have
been badly injured by the long dry
spell they have found that the coun-
try was very far from being "broke;'
that there would be an abundance in
this land of plenty. There is every
prospect for an unusually good fall
and winter trade.

WINTER PASTURAGE
WILL Be GREATEST
Of SEVERAL YEARS
RYE DOMINATES WITH BARLEY
AND CRIMSON CLOVER
FOLLOWING.
PACkERs ARE A BIT WORRIED
Shortage Of Hogs Makes Packing
Stock Proposition in the County.
Corn Crop Short, But VIII Go Far,
ther Than in Other Years. 'N

The seed dealers in the city are re,
alizing harvest just now, and the
indications that there will be the
largest ayreage sown to winter crops
THAT Maury county has ever known.
There was a fine early clover crop
harvested this season, but the later
hay crops were practically of no i'm
portance at all on account of the
drouth. There are few good soy
bean crops here and there but they
are so scattering that they will not
cut any figure with the hay crop Of
the county.
Rye appears to be taking the lead,
and one dealer stated this morning
that his sales had averaged one hun.
dred bushels per day for several
days past, and that barley wcs a
close second. Oats and crimson clio,
yer were being bought rather freely,
with some timothy and red top e3
The corn crop in the county has
been cut very short, but there is also
a shortage Of hogs and cattle TO feed
the corn to, and this will make the
production go farther than ii, would
under ordinary conditions. In some
sections of the county where the
packers have usually gone for their
supplies in the fall and winter there
are barely enough hogs for the imme-
diate local supply, and the packers
are in some dilema about their pack
ing stock.
The amount Of cattle also is short,
so the stockmen report, but the pas
ture preparation which is being made
to take care Of the meagre cupply,
will assist in conserving the corn sup
ply.
