BEST CROPS IN MANY YEARS.
Farm Demonstration Agent Com.
ments After Visit.

Columbia, July 6.-"South Caro-
lima crops are in better condition
this year than they have been in a
number of years and the prospects
are this fall will see bigger harvests
in this State than any in recent
times" Such was the statement OF
W. w. Long, state farm demonstra-
ton agent, yesterday. MIR. Long has
just completed a tour of the State
and seemed unusually hopeful in re-
spect to the coming crop.
The cotton in the lower part of the
State is very we'll grown for this sea-
son of the year and looks as well as
have ever seen it look. The stand in
the upper portion of the State is not
good, but l expect it to improve with
the recent rains. South Carolina will
harvest a large oat crop this year in
addition to the large cotton crop.
s'Not only is the crop larger, but it
has cost the farmers less to raise it
than in former years. Better credit
methods and more economic manage
ment have kept them out of debt and
the farmer is going to realize more
on his acreage this year than ever be-
fore. The farmer ought to have
plenty of money when this fall
comes"

QUARREL OVER CARD GAME.
James Sanders, Farmer, of Gowans'
vile, is Shot to Death.

AS the aftermath to a fourth of
July jubilee started on a farm OF
\. z. Groce at Gowansville, in Campo
bello township, James Sanders, a
white farmer. of the section, was in
stantly killed Saturday by George
Campbell, a young white man of New
Prospect.
Immediately after Sanders receiv-
ed the mortal wound, Campbell, ac-
companied by friends, went to Camp
obello where he surrendered himself
to Magistrate Poole. Campbell was
later brought to Spartanburg and
lodged in the county Jail to await
trial at the approaching term of
court.
From the statement secured from
MAGISTRATE Poole this morning, 1t ap-
pears that thirteen men of the vlcinl-
ty of Gowansville met at an clubhouse
on the farm of A. B. Groce. about
four miles to the east of CampoDello,
and engaged in playing cards and
shooting dice. From the evidence
produced at Magistrate Poole's In
Quest, a dispute arose between Frank
Epperly, one of the attendants, and
Furman Campbell, brother OF the
man who did the shooting. 1t seems
that Epperly and Sanders were
friends and partners in a game. At
ter Furman Campbell cursed Epperly,
it is alleged, and Sanders interfered
and wanted to fight for his partner,
Epperly.
In his effort to reach Campbell
Sanders, it is said, made the state
ment that he would shoot the first
man who put his head out of the
house. 1t is stated by witnesses that
George Campbell placed himself in
the door, and that when he did so,
Sanders pointed his pistol directly at
him. Campbell whipped out his gun
and fired at Sanders twice, both shots
taking effect. One load entered the
forehead and ranged downward and
the other load entered the left breast.
After Sanders fell, several of the
witnesses went to his side and tried
to render aid, but they found that
the man had died instantly.
The coroner's jury, empaneled
Saturday evening by Mag. Poole,
returned a verdict that Sanders came
to his death from pistol shot wounds
inflicted by George Campbell.
All the people in the case are we'll

LIGHTNING KILLS SIX MULES.
Anderson County Animals Were
Hitched to the Road Scrape.

Six mules, each worth about $3.50,
were killed by lightning Saturday
near Cooley's Bridge. about II miles
from Anderson. The mules were
hitched to the county road scrape.
and when the bolt struck, fifteen of
them were hitched together. Thir-
teen of the fifteen mules fell and but
seven of them rose again. The other
six were killed outright. This acci-
dent was one of the most freakish
that has ever been seen around here.
The other mules we're not injured
very much, and the convicts that
were in the vicinity were uninjured.
The mules were very fine anirals.
weighing about 1900 and 1,40U
pounds each. They were excellent
draught animals and the county loses
a great deal by the accident. The to-
tai loses to the county will amount
to about $500.
The convicts and the machinery had
been taken to the place of Mr.. James
Madison to await the passing of a
storm. The mules were hitched to
two road scrapes and they were un-
der a tree. The lightning struck the
tree and killed the mules.
The lightning continued to play
about the house and other buildings,
and though it was felt by the inmates
of the houses, there was no other
damage done except to the mules.
The marvel of it is that the house
was not set on fire by the bolt

Drowned Trying to Save Negro.

While endeavoring to disentangle q
negro from a fishing seine which
clutcheo I'm around the ankles ano
thus rendered him unable to swim
out of deep water, Willie Parker, a
young white man of near Enoree, was
unsuccessful in his attempt to save
the negro's life and both were drown
ed in Enoree river Saturday after
noon about 5 o'clock. Six Or eigh,
men, who could not swim, stood on
the banks and witnessed the heroic
struggle of the white man to save
the negro, and they gasped when they
saw the two sink for the last time
The two men, it was stated, were
seining in Enoree river near the C.
& w. c.. trestle, which spans the river
a half mile up stream from the Emo
rec mill. From statements secured
from witnesses, the negro, Luther
Jones, stepped into deep water and
in attempting to swim out became
tangled in the coarse-weaved net.
The white man saw the predicament
and pulled across from his position
and grasped the negro in a vain at
tempt to extract him from his hazard
Gus position. 1t is thought that he'
too, must have become entangled In
the net, and he went down with his
companion whom he fought valiant
ly to save.
At about the time of the tragedy
Col. T. C. Duncan, candidate for con-
gress, was concluding political ad-
dress to the voters Of the Enoree
mills. When the news reached the
meeting that the men were drowned
many of the people went to the banks
of the river. Several expert divers
volunteered their services and after
several attempts the bodies of the
men were pulled to the shore.
On advice received from Enoree,
Coroner Turner deemed it unneces-
sary to hold an investigation. IT. is
stated that the men were drowned on
the Spartanburg side of the river.
Rural Police Officer Richey was
shortly on the scene and he repre-
sented the coroner in establishing the
facts connected with the drowning.
Willie Parker, aged about 25 years,
was a we'll respected man of the Emo
rec section. He was employed on the
farm of D. ]. Poole. The negro, it is
stated, was employed on an adjoining
farm.-Spartanburg Journal.
