Aunt Sarah Wycoff, according to q

convicted of being implicated in the
murder of her husband for which
crime Bob McCorkle, negro, was
hanged. A recent letter from Mrs.
Wycoff's daughter-in-law brings the
information that the atcual murderer
OF her husband made a death-bed
confc ssion, clearing both Aunt Sarah
and the negro. Who the man was

WE A!ERAGE ONE
HOMICIDE i DAY.

Secretary G. Croft Williams of the
State Board Of Charities and Correc-
ticns, has been studying the prevail
ence OF crime since the war. He Is
ulIoN 0Ql uI lGql pu!J o. p9QSiuolsS
and the west homicideS have uecreaS-
ed since the armistice was signed.
Mr.. Williams has received letter
from the secretary OF the State BcLra
of Charities and Corrections Of New
Hampshire, in which there was tac
following statement: THE SITUATION
in New Hampshire does not appear 10
be the same as in South Carolina
The only indictments for hcmicides IN
this state for the past year, nave
been for deaths, caused by reckless
ness OF automobile drivers, while the
number of commitments for other
offenses has been materially reduc-
ed
There are not dozen counties il
South Carolina that could show so
good a report as this.
From the press dispatches" Mt
Williams said, Il conclude that we
continue to keep our average of one
homicide day in this state. Many OF
those homicides are of a brutal and
revolving character, showing state
of mind that is depraved and beyond
all care for the common good. a
new factor in the growth Of homicide
is the number of accidental killings.
These are usually committed by
young boys that are allowed to toy
with deadly weapons.
"Why is it that South Carolina
must have killing day when New
Hampshire can thrive without kill
ing a year? 1t is that we have some
superior stuff in us that is manifest
ed in this manner, or is it because
of a different kind of machinery for
the gaining of justice, or-is the pre-
valence of a false notion that honor
is best satisfied at the end OF a pis-
tol? Whatever may be the cause, the
number of persons that have died
as sacrifice to prejudice, passion
and vengeance is beyond all reason.
Are South Carolinians of such mis-
erable breed that it is necessary for
them to be slaughtered at this rate?
1t is time that we face this question
honestly and ask ourselves what we
should do about it."

COTTON ASSOCIATION
ISSUES REPORT.

Columbia. Aug. 2S-The American
tonight placed the condition of the
cotton crop on August 25 at 5S.2 per
cent. The government crop report Civ
/ ing condition on August 25, will be
issued September 2. There was diff
ference of only / per cent in the last
American Cotton association report
and the government report.
The report issued tonight by the
American Cotton association follows:
The condition of the growing crop
up to August 25, for the belt is $50
The crop is from two to four weeks
late. 1t has a diseased root system,
sappy and unable to stand reverses,
extremely poorly fruited, shedding
and showing rapid deterioration and
premature opening.
Insect damage has been record
breaking. Boil weevil damage is the
largest ever known. In addition to
this bool worm, army worm and red
spiders have done serious damage.
There is serious damage also from
boil rot.
Labor is extremely short and un-
satisfactory. The gathering Of even
the record-breaking small crop which
is now a certainty will be most Sc
rious problem. Under favorable
weather conditions delay in gathering
will be serious and will result in cot
ton standing in the fields unpicked
causing crop grade to be low. With
adverse weather conditions losses on
account of extreme labor conditions
will be enormous, resulting in the lar
gest percentage of off-grade than
of any crop ever gathered.
Acreage abandonment will be nine
and ope-fourth per cent. Account of
the great scarcity of labor and the
record breaking seasons to abandon
this amount of acreage. This will
show the largest reduction in the
yield probably ever recorded. No de-
duction has been made in our condi-
ton report for abandonment, nor will
the department Of agriculture show
any deduction for acreage abandon
onment until the season ends.
