Journal, Friday: Eli Stutts, an operative of the Highland Park mill, made an attempt at suicide Tuesday afternoon, by taking a poison drug, or a chemical of some sort. Tuesday afternoon Stutts went to a field where a Negro was at work hoeing cotton and asked the Negro to kill him, "No, sir I can't do that," the Negro repuea. Stutts the?, according to the Negro's story, offered to pay the Negro to kill him, saying that he was going to kill himself anyway, but the Negro still refused, and Stutts walked off to a branch nearby, where the Negro saw him swallow something and drink water from the branch. The Negro gave the alarm and a large crowd soon collected. Dr. W. G. Stevens was summoned and when he arrived he found "the man in" -h dead stupor. ' He called* in the assistance of Drs. T. A. Crawford and J. E. Massey, Jr. By using a stomach pump, antidotes were given and his stomach washed out and his recovery is now expected, unless he took chemicals of some sort, in which case the physicians say death may result after three or four days time.

If it is true, then, as the southern whites allege, that the employments of Negroes are now more diversified than they formerly were, the inference regarding their comparative efficiency as free men is obvious." The Chronicle is wrong in its facts and mistaken ih its conclusion, as you will find, if you turn to the United States census or inquire of the United States department of agriculture. The biggest cotton producing coun ty of the south is Williamson county, Texas, which produced 89,237 bales, according to the census. Its population is 33,736 whttes, and 4,391 Negroes. The Negroes constitute only 15 per cent of its farm labor and raise less than 15 per cent of the cotton. The second biggest cotton producer is Ellis county, also in Texas, with 86,638 bales; population, 42,215 whites, 4,841 ? Negroes. The Negroes furnish 12 per cent of the farm labor and about the same percentage of the cotton crop. And so on down the list. Of the nineteen biggest cotton counties in the south sixteen are overwhelmingly white and nearly all the farm work is done by whites. This tendency has been marked for years and the production of cotton in most of the southern states is shifting away from the black belt to the white sections. The increase in the cotton produc*'" - i v* * V?/\ I n o* tir HUH U1 U1C 9UUIII III llIC l<uil uw utcades Is due mainly to the labor of the whites. The crop of ante-bellum days was the product almost wholly of Negro labor. The Chronicle is mistaken in supposing this to be the case today. The Negro counties generally produce less cotton than In slavery days.? Norman Walker in Chicago Chronicle. The Story op a Murder.?"Will Sarratt, did you kill Ritch Hale?" asked an Observer reporter. "I did." said Sarratt, raising his bulky form from a couch in the cell at the police station. "I killed him with a knife. I had to kill him." Sarratt was brought here yesterday by Deputy Sheriff B. S. Lipscomb, of Cherokee county, S. C. He had been arrested at the big power dam near Fort Mill, on the charge of killing Rftch Hale, colored, at Blacksburg, on ' March 8th. He was taken to Blacksburg last night by the deputy sheriff, and will be tried for murder. The killing was the result of a skin game of cards, which may be termed Inninrori man's substitute for poker. I According to Sarratt's story, he was a novice that had been selected to be skinned. He had both a mother and wife, and he was on his way home when he was accosted by Hale, who asked him to take part in the game. Several days before this time he had loaned Hale some money, and on the night of the homicide he had "staked" Hale. After the game began Sarratt was rapidly fleeced of his week's wealth, and he began to brood over the loss and the injustice. His story of the killing was simple and graphic. "We played." he said, "in an ol' flel',under the moonlight, an' every nigger had to put his head close to de groun' so he could see de kyards. I was de dealer, an* dey robbed me. Hale had $10 of my money, an' he reached over on de board and picked up $3 of mine and said, 'I takes dis.' I said, 'Dat's my money.' Hale said again, 'I takes dis.' He reached in his breeches pocket. Den I stabbed him in de heart wid my little knife. "Ritch said, 'Dam' you, I'll fix you. "And den he died."?Charlotte Observer, Tuesday.
