The Negro and Mule Has Well

County.

To the Banker, Merchant and Farmer Of
Abbeville County:
At this time Of disaster among Us all on
accountof 81 cents cotton caused by the
great European war" we see in every pa
per We pick up this, that and the other
plan to help out the situation ; some ap'
pear to be good, some bad, but on one
thing we have agrsed-that we must and
lshall have 10 cents in some way for this
crop.
1t is useless for us to put In type the dis.
aster that would com to the South should
present prices prevail: each and every
thinking man In Abbeville county knows
what would happen. But in this article
am going deeper into.the matter OF farm
inRR as now conducted In Abbeville county.
aud open the.eyes Of every thinking man
Id this county.
do you know that in this county we have
81, 900 people, 1900 head Of mules and
horses, all Of which must be fed year In
and year out, almost everything bought
from the West and must be paid for In cot
ton Now We produce In this county 49,
600 bales of cotton, or just n bale per
capita. Now, assuming We can market
this cotton at 10 cents, which would
amount to $50 per bale, what 1t costs, to
feed one person 12 months. I estimate
that $50 per yearis a low estimate for food
in the shape Of -four, corn, bacon and mo-
~lasses, to say nothing Of the luxuries In
the shape Of sugar, coffee, tea, Ice, etc.
all shipped into our county and must be
paid out Of cotton. So you see the cotton
crop has been consumed (eaten up) by man
alone, nothing having been allowed for
feeding the $500 head Of horses In the
county.
I estimate we raise about so per cent. Of
feed for our horses and mules, and we
must spend at least $s75, 900 yearly for
horse and hog feed, and crops already
eaten UP by man alone. And this Is not
all: there has not been a dollar spent. for
mules, plow tools, clothing, shoes, autos,
and hundreds Of othe- thinge. Say THE
clothing, luxuries. autos, etc, cost $50 per

sistant Chief, Killed on
Way to Fire.
Especial to the Evening start

JERSEY CITY, May 4.-There is
sincere mourning in this city today
at the death of w. Hudson Lowell, as
sistant chief engineer of the Jersey
City Fire Department, who was killed
Yesterday when his motor car crashed
into Engine Ne. / when responding to
an alarm. Chief Lowell was thrown
from his machine, striking on his
head. and the engine tender ran over
him He died in St Francis's Hos
pital.
The accident occurred at the juno
ton of Newark avenue, Montgomery
and Warren streets. Newark avenue
and Montgomery street converge AT
Warren street. The chiefs gis came
down Newark avenue at high speed.
Engine 40. came through Warren
street toward Montgomery street. En-
gire Ne. , came down Montgomery
street and all three met at Warren.
The chiefs gig was ''pocketed' and
one of the rear wheels struck Engine
No. I. Chief Lowell was thrown to
the street and the tender of No. l
passed over him, as the driver had no
chance to stop.
Lowell was taken to st. Francis's
Hospital, and although the physicians
were constantly by his side and do
ing all possible for him he died within

being answered was for a fire in the
saloon Of Dennis Donovan, IS Morris

of the chiefs gig and never lost con-
troll of the machine. He afterwards

and a boy was buried. beneath 1t.
The bricks were red hot and against
the protests of his men Chief Lowell
seized an axe and going in chopped
his way to the lad and saved him.
His reply to the protests of his men
was 'lle devil With TIE udhSSl' IA

While he was straining to rescue the
boy he was constantly de'uged with
water from several streams of hose
