Oconee Man Threatened Life iof
Brother.

Governor Harvey yesterday revoked
the parole of Grover Crooks, of Oco-
nee authorities to place Crooks on the

this fact was established. Crooks
threatened the life of his brother
and is in jail now, being unable to
arrange for a $1,000 bond, according
to Sheriff Alexander and other Geo.
nee officials. Sheriff Alexander. in
formed the chief executive that
Crooks could not offer any reason
why his parole should not be re-
voked.-The State.

BIG DAMAGE TO COTTON.
From Drought, Boil Weevils and
Rust, Says Report.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Excessively
dry, hot weather in nearly all sections
Of the country has caused deteriora-
ton in the condition Of many crops,
according to the semi-monthly crop
report of the department Of agricul-
ture issued today. Preparation OF
the ground for fall seeding, however,
has made considerable progress and
farm work has advanced satisfac-
torily.
Much damage to cotton from
drought, boil weeviA rust and~army
worms was reported, with picking
in progress in most of the producing
area and progressing rapidly in Geor-
gia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi and the Rio Grande Valley
in Texas.
Corn is maturing rapidly and be-
ing husked in the southern states, but
this crop has deteriorated in the
central and eastern states, with the
setback severe in Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska due to heat and lack of
moisture. Threshing of small grains
has been virtually completed in the
south and middle west, but market
conditions have slowed up the thresh-
ing Of wheat in Kansas. Spring
wheat yields in the Pacific coast
states is running below normal and
light weight. The quality is high,
however, in the Dakotas and Mime
sofa, where threshing of spring
wheat is under way. Oats have been
variable generally and light in
weight.

AUTO TURNS OVER, GIRL KILLED.
Miss Janette Towers, of St. Peters
burg, Fla, Dead.

Mccormick, Sept. 1S.-Miss ia
nette Towers, 20 years of age, was
instantly killed near Modoc, this
county, at 4:30 O'Clock this afternoon,
when a touring car, driven by V. Il.
Wright, of 2124 Florida avenue,
Tampa, Fla, overturned. Miss Tow
ers. in company with her mother,
Mrs. Dell Towers, and an older sister,
Miss B. Towers, has been spending
some time at No. 100 South French
Broad avenue, Asheville, N. c., and
had advertised for some one to ac-
company them on their return trip to
St. Petersburg, Florida, who would
furnish a car as they wanted to drive
through in an automobile instead OF
by train.
V. H. Wright answered the adVer-
tisement and stated that he would
take them back if they wanted to
take plenty of time, but would not
promise to rush on the trip. They left
Asheville this morning and drove to
Greenwood for dinner. Leaving
Greenwood they intended going to
Augusta for the night, but when they
reached Modoc on a fill they met
a wagon at point where the sand
WAS heavy and loose. In passing the
WAGON Mr.. Wright says that the wag-
ON gave him at least half the road,
but that on account of the sand in
the road at that point, he lost control
of the car and in trying to get back
into the road the car darted across
the road and turned over, pinnlng
Miss Janette Towers under the car,
killing her almost instantly.
The accident happened just in the
edge of the little town Of Modoc, and
although medical aid was summoned
it was thought that Miss Towers was
killed instantly. Her face was badly
cut and she was badly injured inter-
nally. Mrs. Towers and her daughter
Miss B. Towers, received only minor
Injuries and went on to Augusta
leaving the body of Miss Janette Tow
ers at the home of Mr.. A. P. Douglass,
at Modoc, after summoning an un-
dertaker from Augusta. Witnesses
in the town of Modoc who saw the car
pass through say that Mr.. Wright
was driving at very moderate speed
and not exceeding twenty miles per
hour.

MINERS TRAPPED BY FIRE.
Nifty-seven Bodies Found by Rescue
SQUAD After Hard Work.

Jackson, CAL, Sept. 1S.-All forty
seven of the miners entombed in the
Argonaut mine August 27, are dead,
it was announced officially shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock tonight.
A note found on one of the bodies
indicated that all the men had died
within five hours of the beginning of
the fire August 27, officials said.
All the miners were found behind
the second of two bulkheads they had
built in a cross-cut when 4,350 feet
down in the mine. Byron o. Pickard,
chief of the federal bureau of mines
for this district, was the first man to
20 behind the bulkhead and discov-
cred the bodies.
| Pickard, on an earlier exploration
behind the bulkhead, had counted
forty-two bodies and expressed the
belief then that there were others
! there.
Note Tells of Bad Gas.
The note found read as follows:
s'3 a. m, gas bad.'
The same note bore scrawled fig
ure "4" apparently indicating the
same man had attempted to leave
word for those who might come after,
| of the condition of the mine at that
hour.
Mine officials declared that the
condition of the cross-cut behind the
bulkhead was such that life could
not have been sustained there by the
entombed men for more than five
hours.
The bodies were piled one on top
of another and decomposition had
progressed so far that Identification
would be impossible, Pickard report
