Canning Factory Closes
Down.

The American Pickle & Can
ming Company here have closed
their plant for this season. They
ran their machinery yesterday
for the last time until the pickle
season opens. The sweet potato
crop being cut short this year
by the storm and drouth, is the
cause of the plant closing down
two months earlier than usual.
The canning factory employs a
large number of people during
it's busy seasons and therefore
the pay roll of this industry
causes a good deal Of money to
be circulated in the town, as well
as giving employment to many
who are seeking wo rk. The plant
will no doubt do a heavy busl-
ness during it's next season.

V. Brown, as introduced in evidence
yesterday at the trial of Mrs. Mohr,
Brown, and their alleged accomplioe,
Henry H. Spellmsn.
The recital of the murder as the state
claims it was made to Chief Inspector
William F. O'Neill by the negroes fol-
lowing their arrest, and described by
O'Neill on the stand Thursday, was cor
federated to a considerable extent yes
terday by Police Commissioner Benja-
min p. Moulton and Thomas +. Robbins,
chief OF police at Darlington.
Both stoutly denied, under cross-ex-
animation, that the confession had been
obtained by threats. Counsel for Mrs.
Mohr attempted to bring out the ne
groes introduced her name in the hope
that they would thus mitigate their
own punishment. Robbins was on the
stand when the recess was taken at
o'clock yesterday afternoon.
