MARLBORO MEN
KILL FUGITIVE
Henry Lewis Dies in Jail at Benefits
vile After Arrest and Battle

Bennettsville Sept 29-Henry Lewis
the negro who shot and killed Rural
Policeman E. J. Alsbrooks a few days
ago, died in the Jail here this after
noon as the result of wounds in
hicted while resisting arrest this
morning. Sheriff Patterson received
word last night that Lewis was in the
county and Immediately summoned d
posse to arrest him. For a time he
eluded the officers, although it was
known in a general way the section OF
the county he was in. The bloodhounds
were brought here from Columbia
early this morning and additional in
formation was received by the sheriff
and the officers in pursuit of the ne
gro's whereabouts, and he was finally
traced to a swamp.
The swamp was surrunded and
three of the party, DR.. J. A. Woodley,
Marlboro Hamer and Edgar David,
Jr., were at the head of a branch
when the negro came out. He was or
dered to throw up his hands and sur
render and instead of doing so he be-
gan firing, shooting a revolver three
times when ball from one of the
party shot the fingers off his right
hand, causing him to drop the weapon.
After this he ran about 100 yards
and got into ditch where he was
overtaken and brought to Bennattsville
It was found that two balls had pas
sed entirely through his body.
After reaching Bennettsville medical
aid was summoned and Drs. May and
Jordan did everything that could be
done, but the wounds were fatal.
Reward amounting to $500 had been
offered for the arrest and delivery OF
Lewis, and those who took part in the
arrest unanimously asked that the re-
wards be collected and presented to
the family of the late rural policeman:

bia several days this week. His work in
this department of education is al
ready under way along with the other
branches of the school system of the
State, in that many of the mill vii
lage schools opened simultaneously
with those in the various cities. Re-
markable progress was made last ses-
sion in the reorganization of the mill
schools. In some instances the schools
in the mill communities were consoli-

of the best new buildings in the State

BAIL FOR CRESWELL
BY CHIEF JUSTICE
Mccormick Lads Application il
Granted at Abbeville-Inquest
Over Fathers Body

Mccormack Sep 30-Further devel-
opments in the shooting of J. S. Cres-
we'll by his son, Horace Creswell, were
brought to light after the coroner's
inquest.
1t seems that one of tile Creswell
boys wanted to take bale of cotton to
TROY to have it ginned and the father
wanted it brought to Mccormick. At
ter some words Mrs. Creswell, the mo-
tier said that it would not make any
difference where the cotton was taken
SO long as they got the money for it.
This incensed the old man, who struck
Mrs. Creswell with a light stick. She
then walked away from him, he follow
ing her up, striking her with his fist
again. At this juncture Clarence Cres-
well interceded in behalf of hismother
and grabbed a shotgun, which stood
nearby, which later proved to be empty.
The father then took the gun away
from the boy, and it was while he had
it in a striking position that the young
est son, Horace, fired the fatal shot.
The shot was fired from the door Of
another room, a shotgun being the
weapon used. The load entered the
face on the side and ranged upward,
killing him almost instantly.
Mr.. Creswell was about So years Of
age and lived in the youngstown Sec
ton of this county practically all OF
his life. He farmed and conducted a
blacksmith shop. His wife was Miss
Fannie Talbert of this county.
The young man who fired the fatal
shot attended the funeral of his father
which took place at Buffalo Baptist
church, this county, Friday, after
whic appeared before E. B. Gary,
cief justice of Abbeville, and applied
for bail. Bail was granted in the sum
of $1,000. The trial will come up at
the first criminal court for Mccormick
county.
The affair has been shock to the
citizens of this community and the
general sentiment is that the boy will
merely go through legal proceedings
as a matter of formality.

SUNDERLAND COLLEGE
EMPLOYS FINANCIAL AGENT

The crowded condition at the recent
opening of Summerland College makes
more dormitory space absolute
ly necessary, and the high standard
,ne college demands more ade-
quate internal equipment. The evange-
lical Lutheran Synod of S. c. at it's
last meeting in view Of the growing
popularity of iSummerland as well
as the need of a college fr the higher
education of the young women Of our
u "a II t,lis safe empowered the
Board of Trustees to employ finan-
cial agent and to raise $4,000 for the
proper equipment of the college. At
the meeting of the board Sept. 18th
the Hon. w. NJ OXner of Leesville
was elected Financial Agent. Mr.. Ok
ner is eminently qualified for this po-
sition, being a young nun Of high
educational attainments. He begins
his work at once, canvassing the con-
gregations of the Lutheran church.
The faculty and board of trustees re-
spectfully ask that Mr.. Oxner be Civ
en- hearty welcome by all our pas
tors and congregations, and that all
our people will rally to the support
of their college.

STORMS AND INSECTS
DAMAGE COTTON CROP
Loss Of Almost Three Million Bales
Caused During the Growing Sea.
son, According to Forecast Made
By Department of Agriculture
In Annual Announcement.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Storms and
insect damage nave wrought havoc
with the cotton crop this year and
cansed a loss of almost 100000
bales throughout the growing season.
This years crop will be approxi-
mately 11,637,O00 equivalent 800
pound bales, according to the depart
ment of agriculture's forecast made
today, basing it's estimate on the
condition of the crop on September
%. In it's first forecast of produc-
ton made from conditions existing
June 25, the quantity was estimated
at 14,266,OO0 bales. The condition
of the crop on September 25 was oO.o
per cent. of normal, which is the
lowest condition on record for that
time Of the year.
Cotton this year was planted on
the fourth largest acrenge ever re-
corded-35, ,054,000 acres. In 1Sll'
when 36,O54NOO acres were planted
the crop was 15,693,OOO bales; in
1913, when there were 37,OSS'OoO
acres, the crop was 14,156,OOO bales
and in 1914, when the acreage was
se,S32,0Oo, the crop amounted to
1915, 900 bales.
Indications are that this years
crop will yield only 1868 pounds per
acre compared with 2O7.7 pounds in
1911; 1872 pounds in 1913 and 2o9'z
pounds in 1914.

In a statement issued today the re-
norting hoard said: "There ives heavy
deterioration in cotton agaln TINS
month in the central cotton States.
Boil weevils in Texas, Arkansas, Ala
bama. Louisiana and Florida, have
taken a heavy toll, puncturing and
destroying grown bolls to larger ex-
tent than ever before known. This
insect has, in addition, seriously dam
aged the crop in portions of Okla

pillars have injured the late cotton

.os fruiting and the plant shed its
fruit considerably in the northern
portion of the cotton belt
There is considerable late cotton
in the Carolinas and some in north
ern Georgia which will need a late
killing frost to reach anything like
full maturity.
THE weather during the month
was very favorable for gathering the
crop and the high prices prevailing
for both cotton and the seed caused
the farmers in all parts OF the south
fo rush gathering and ginning, and
there has been a much larger per-
eent3ge of the crop put through the
gins than usual at this time of the
wear. In southern Mississippi and
Alabama, where the crop is practical
" failure, one picking got the crop
the average in many counties being a
hale to Hhe mule or less. Over the en-
tire cotton belt the crop this season
tas been rapidly picked, and there IS
less cotton remaining in the fields
than usual at this time of the year
The picking season will average two
or three weeks early
Farmers are receiving for their cot
ton at this time higher prices than
have been paid since 1872. In that
year the average paid was 16.5 cents,
in 1871 rices paid average 17.9
cents and in 1869, 16.5 cents. The
demoralization of the cotton market
soon after the outbreak of the Euro
pean war caused violent break in
prices. On August :, 1914, farmers
were being paid 12.4 cents "a pound
for their cotton and by November 1
the price had fallen to 6.3 cents a
pound. lAl comparison of prices being

GLYCERINE AND BARK

The simple mixture of buckthorn

i-ka, astonishes Newberry people.
Because Adler-i-ka acts on BOTH
lower and upper bowel, ONE SPOON
FUL relieves almost ANY CASE con-
stipation, sour stomach or gas. Il
removes such surprising foul matter
that a few doses often relieve or pre-

There is said 10 be considerable legal
opinion to the effect lat the Compt.
