TELLS il?EER STORY ) ? _ NEGRO CLA] MS HE SAW MEN IN A BOA T WITH BODY. A Sensationa Statement Was Made i In this City About the Death of Young Shi er. The mysteiy -which surrounds the death of Rob .. C. Shirer, the South ern railway I agigagemaster, who -was found dead n the Savannah river, below the ra lway trestle at Augusta Wednensday morning, takes on ad ditional coloi from a statement made In this city 1 y a negro wtho came to this city fro; 1 Augusta on Thursday the same cay Mr. Shirer's bod^ reached here for interment. The ne gro's statement revives tihe original theory that t le young man was mur dered and h 3 body thrown into the river, thouf h the manner of his death varies widely from what was at first suppose d. The negn's story, if true, gives a ?tartllng clu -9 in the clearing of the mystery whi fh surrounds the manner or Shirer's ? eath. The negro stated that he saw two men In a boat row ing down tl e Savannah river Tues day night w th the body of a man in the .boat "he men pulled up below the trestle * nd dumped the body of a man overbo ird. The police here have been lookiig for the negro who told the st iry, but could not find bim. iNo d iubt the negro fears that "he may be mixed up with the mat ter and is k jeping himself very close. It is pos tible that this negro can throw a gieat deal of ligfot on the eubject. It Is not only possible, but It Is plausl'de that murder was com mitted. Ti e fact that Shirer left all valuables i n his bureau before he ?went out n tber indicates1 that he ex pected troible and however the trouble car e, it sems to have termi nated mu <h as the young man * thought, or T Drayton Shirer, the dead man'? brother Is firm in the be lief that et leide was not probable. It Is not imp >8&ible that Shirer did go towards tl e Southern railway treB tle. It is j lossible that he was going there for i. purpose. The banks of the river nay have been the scene of a violer t altercation which result ed in the . xewsome find of Wednes day .morni^. The Au; usta Herald says for sev eral days after Shirer's death diffi culty was -,'xperienced in locating the man's mczoments after he left his friends in their rooms, at 310 Wash ington str et. After diligent search Chief Ellli t brought to light tne fact that a fri. nd had seen Shirer on the corner of .* Mils street and Washington walking r ipidly toward broad street befoe dayi reak Tuesday morning. He called to Shirer, but no response to Ills calls. After watching him walk out Wash ngton as far as Reynolds, the friend walked on. The concluson was that Shirer bad walked out on the bridg i and lost his footing. If the ttory of the negro is to' be believed i stranger mystery than was first thou ?ht of, surrounds the death of the ba jgagemaster. C. V. Kiisel 'and J.' H Cunningham are mystified at the enl ire lack of details surround ing the w iereabouts of Shirer all day Tuesday. Shirer saw his two room mates at 12:20 Tuesday morning and for some time they were the only two persons t ho could be found who saw bim fron that time until Wednesday ? morning when be was found floating face dow iward in the water. There a just tone detail of Shirer's appearai] je, when he was found that lends stl 1 more weight to the mur der theo y. A drowning man Invar iably flats face downward, his arms swinging downward. If Shirer had fallen fr.>m the bridge it seems only reasonatle that his arms dould have ibeen exl anded or even swinging, but for the .'act that the water was not Bufflcien y deep to permit of it. The arms, hi wever, were folded beneath him, ahiost as carefully as if his body ha I been prepared for burial. That wo ild have seemed as if he had been dead some time before being placed ii the water. The fact that there w .s no water in his lungs adds more w< Ight to it If th i local police are successful in locat ng the negro who claims to have se.jn the boatmen and their load, he may be the means of unrav eling w lat seems to be one of the foulest murders ever committed in August, . He will be diligently sought, ind then found will be taken to Augi.sta. It may be the story of an irre ;ponsible negro, but on the other hand it may not be. The ne gro's d sappearance may have been caused .hrough a fear of being impli cated ii the case. . The Times and and Democrat. The rimes and Democrat is over forty-tv o years old, and is proud of the litJral patronage bestowed* on it both in the way of advertising and subscri 'tions. The paper has long since p tssed the experimental stage, and is iow one of the fixtures of Or angebu-g. It is Democratic at all times s ad tries to uphold pure Dem ocratic doctrine, regardless of the sneers ind jeers of time-servers and apolog; ?ts. It has implicit and abid ing fai h in the people, and believes that tt ?y can and should be trusted with 1 he fullest political power. There 5 no part of Orangeburg coun ty wht re dt does not circulate, hav ng over double the crculaton of any other newspaper published in this sectaor On this Booster Trip The Times and Democrat greets you. True Hospitallity. Wh n a gentleman In Kentucky sets ort his decanter and a glass and then ' urns his back on his visitor while ie samples the contents of the decani =r, it is admitted that a gen erous hospitality has been extended. That ; 3 all right, but the hospitality that C rangeburg offers has that beat all to pieces. It offers nothing to drink, but plenty of good things to drink but plenty of good things to eat a! d a hearty welcome. VALUE OP COTTON CROP. Will be Great This Year if Put on the Market Slowly. According to the governnrcnt's of ficial report the condition of the cot ton crop on July 25, averaged 89.1 per cent of normal. From this, and basing it on the estimate increased acreage, experts figure that the grow ing crop*will total 14,741,631 bales, the largest ever produced. But as the Augusta Herald says, "there's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," Assuming that the de ductions of the experts are entirely correct, based on the condition of the crop at this time, there is uo assur ance that this condition will hold good to the end. Na crop is more susceptible to unfavorable weather condition than cotton just in its pres ent stage. The ttrghtest prospect may be blighted in a few days and the promised yield enormously re duced. Should weather conditions remain favorable throughout the remainder of the season and a bumper crop be produced, it does not follow that the price must be materially lower. The cotton consumption of the world is continually Increasing. To meet its requirements now calls for more than 17,000,000 bales a year. Even a bum per crop in our country would not ex ceed this amount, and so there is no reason why a fourteen million bale crop of Amerclan cotton should de press the price ,by exceeding in sup ply the demand. For the past two years the world has been in an almost >.:ontinuous state of semi-famine in regard to cot ton. It will require a large crop to ease this condition, without depress ing a normal demand. Besides there has been a great improvement in marketing cotton hy the farmers, ow ing' to their generally improved fi nancial conditions and "their more methodic selling. Hence- no great syiimp in pricp should be appre hended. A crop as now esti mated and sold at preeent prices would bring over one thousand mil Ion dollars, exclusive of the cot ton seed. There will be something doing in the cotton belt wben the present growing cotton crop shall be picked and sold. PROPOSED SCHEU ?LE. Where and When the Booster Trip Will Stop.

WORK THEIR WAY THROUGH. A Plan by Which AH Boys Can Go to Clemson College. In order to enable some young men who could not otherwise go through college and obtain a scien tific knowledge of agriculture, the trustees of Clemson College have de cided to begin what will be called the work-boy course. Beginning next term twenty boys will be taken, and divided into two squads. One will work every othe. week while the other is at classes. The mem bers of the squad will be paid from 75 cents to $1.00 per day. In this way skillful farm labor will be secured for the college and at the same time some worthy boys will be enabled to prepaid themselves for farming. Only boys who have had experience on the farm and in tend to become farmers will be al lowed this privilege. A knowledge of reading, writing! and arithmetic is the only scholastic requirement necessary. Any boy interested in this plan write to President Riggs, Clemson College, S. C. Favors Arbitration. Germany has been generally cred ited wnth blocking the movement for international disarmament and arbi tration Color nas been given to this view by Germany's interference in various international matters, prominent among which lias?been her support of Turkey, her aggressive attitude towards Russia at the time Austria annexed Herzegovna and Bosnia, and her present action as to Morocco. It is therefore all the more welcome to learn that she regards favorably the pronosi on of the Unit ed States as to arbitration treaties. Jerry Jackson Caught. Constable S. J.

To the people who read it through and then conclude to visit Orangeburg, we thank them. We believe we could have easily gotten out a larger pa per, but we did not attempt to go be yond eight pages. How to Kill Them On. "Knockers" do good some times as much as we decry them. For an en thusiastic crowd to burn a gigantic hammer in order to show their dis favor of "knockers" may be nothing more than a curious and spectacular affair. While it is true that the "knocker" Is, as a rule, a nuisance and a detiment to the place, yet sometimes the conditions make him unavoidable. If. for instance, bad social, moral and other conditions are allowed to flourish then the "knocker" becomes a very necessary and useful personage. Anyway, while nothing will ever do away with the chronic fault finder, the best way to decrease his tribe is for any and every town to be clean, materially and moraly progressive, and alert for opportunities of advancement. This is the way to kil off "knockers" and chonic fault finders In this and ail other communities. Two Barns Burned. The barn and stable of Mr. W. J. Dantzler, of the Providence sec tion was burned about five o'clock on last |Saturday afternoon. Ail the horses and mules were saved, but Mr. Dantzler lost all of his rough food. Mr. Dantzler does not know how the fire occurred, but thinks it may have occurred from rats and matches. He was in the lot when he first noticed the fire, which spread very rapidly and soon got beyond control. ORANGEBURG SOCIETY. Recent Happenings of a Social Na ture, in This City.

The Washington correspondent of The State says Lieut. Stafford'H. R. Doyle, N. S. N., of Orangeburg, is to be detached from duty as as sistant inspector of engineering ma terial with headquarters at Philadel phia, and assigned to the command of the torpedo boat destroyer Pauld ing, flagship of the eighth division of the Atlantic torpedo flotilla noy op erating with the battleship fleet. The fact that the lieutenant suc ceeds In this important command Lieut. Commander Yates Stirling, U. S. N., an officer of many years his senior in rank, shows what unusual confidence the navy department re poses in the South Carolinian. Lieutenant Doyle recently completed the .advanced course in steam engi nering at th graduate school in An napolis, Mo., having finished the regular four years naval academy course in 1900. It is more than noteworthy that this officer put put In seven years straight away on the battleshp Ken tucky, joining her as a midshipman cn probation and leaving her a full fledged lieutenant and chief engi neer. Subsequently he was for two years chief engineer of the scout cruiser Birmingham and it is a mat ter of common knowledge at the de partment and a source of distinct pleasure to his many friends that the 'Birmingham's excellent steaming records are largely due to Lieut. Doyle's ability and indefatigable energy. PICNIC AT ELLOREE. Woodmen Circle to Have a Big Time On the 17th.

There went into effect August 1 in New Jersey one of the severest laws ever enacted for the protection of birds. Any person weang a sin sie feather of a bird protected by the statute is liable to arrest and to a fine of $20 for each offense. The law applies to the plumage of birds coming from other states as well as to those native to New Jersey. The New York Herald says a law confin ed to a single state cannot be thor oughly effective, but it can and doubtless will serve as a model for other states. Game laws become geuinely beneficial as soon as the possesion of game out of season was made punishable. So it will be for the protection of birds of beautiful plummage. A long campaign of ed ucation has been maintained. Now we ae seing the law that can do. It is to be hoped New Jersey will en force It vigorously, * LOCAL NEWS ITEMS PICKED UP ALL OVER TOWN BI OUR REPORTERS. What Is Happening Here and There. Local Items of Personal Interest to On?
