Continuing, Governor Please said “that little grand jury” in Richland county, which found the hoisery mill to be sanitary, had set itself against some of the best physicians In the State. He mentioned physicians who he said, declared the hoisery ml^j was a disease breeder, and said he was marshalling his facts for submission to the legislature It was fooliah the governor said, for laymen to set themselves against experts. For instance, he said, the floors and walls and celling of the Ar- gyle hotel seemed to be clean and sanitary. But suppose, he sugijeeted that expert physicians should say that the walls and celling were in fested with disease germs; would a reasonable layman attempt to contra dict them? This, he sad, was the case with the hosiery mill. Speaking of legislation which he would commend to the general asem- bly, Governor Blease said he would try to obtain the passage of a law establishing two cents a mile as a flat rate for passenuer transportation on the steam railroads of the State TMr lW“*xra, wotltt —*- C#y.

Taken from Officers After Exciting -Chase Through Several Count lea, tho Fiend was Taken to the Scene ' / ! vi' •' t. .. . ^ '*?■ '. ^ of Hls Crime, Hung and Riddled With Bullets. A negro boy,— about seventeen years old, committed a criminal as sault on a twelve year old white girl at Honea Path on Tuesday morning. The brutal assault occur red about half-past seven o’clock some three hundred yards from the lAnlta of the town*, where the little girl had gone to put a cow in a pasture. According: to the little girl, she was attacked from the rear .wh'le she was going to a pasture with cows, the attack being made within three hun dred yards of the incorporated lim its of Honea Path, and after drag ging his little victim about seventy- five yards into a patch of woods he accomplished his dasstardly purpose behind a dead log. The little girl emerged from the woods, attracted the attention of a passerby and gave the alarm. The negro then passed through the town “to a butcher shop where he worked. He was found later at the shop by Constable Haynes, who took him before the girl, and after she had positively identified him, the constable, with two other citizens; hurried the negro to the Jail at An derson In an kutomoblle. The infur iated citizens were searching the woods during the while and did not learn that the negro had been ap prehended until he was on hls way to the Jail. As soon as the dastardly outrage became known the people of Honea Path gathered and began a rigid search as above stated for the fiend. As soon as It was learned that the negro had been caught end taken to Anderson, a crowd left Honea Path for that place, bent on lynching the fiend If trey could get him in their hands. A dispatch from Anderson says more than a hundred heavily armed men arrived there at eleven o'clock from Honea Path. Some came on trolley pars, others on the train, and the remainder in automobiles. Fif teen minutes before the crowd ar rived at Anderson thenegro had been taken in a fast automobile and was speeding to the Greenville Jail, thirty six miles away. The Honea Path citizens followed in -tuirsuit. They left Anderson In about ten automobiles The men with the-prisoner arrived in Green ville at ten minutes to two o’clock. The car they left in was a fast one, but wheh lt departed from Anderson it bad no chains on the wheels. It had been raining all night and the road*-^rere-muddy, heavy and slip- dinar unaea bo »*erivb..flelddflurfcat>emo At .1.60 o’clock the Anderson au tomobile dashed through the streets of Greenville and up to the county jail door. At the Jail the sheriff had received a telephone message from Sheriff King, at Anderson to spirit -the nqzro- aff to -Spartanburg. A change of 'automobiles was made at the jail and the flight to Spartanburg taken up. jr> ' Within ten mlnutefaf^er the auto mobile bearing the tvegro had depart ed, a big Awderson touring car, con taining Josh Ashley-’S.nd'four other men, steamed through''Main street. ‘‘Citizen" Josh clutcbhdj a Winches ter rifle In hls hands and eagerly In quired where the petro had been taken.' Upon being (old that the par ty had proceeded to Spartanhu-g, the word of command was given and the big auto dashed on up the street. Within five minutes another An derson car steamed Into the city, closely followed by still another ma chine. The mud-bespattered occu pants, upon being readily Informed by Greenville cltlzafns which way the negro had been carried, applied the power to their machines and dashed on. At Greenville the pur suers divided, some going one road and some another. : In -the depths of a forest six miles north of Greenville, an armed mob of twenty-five men, headed by "Cit izen ’ John Ashley, of Honea Path, a member of Anderson County’s legis lative delegation overpowered Dep uty Sheriff Van B. MaVtln, of Ander son County, and Sheriff J. Perry Poole, of Greenville County, and took the fiend from their custody. The trembling negro was placed in the car In which Ashley and four other men rode and followed by a train of several automobiles from Anderson )and Gdeenvlllh counties, loaded with determined men and bristling with shotguna and rifles, the ringleaders turned in their fury and Istarted toward Honea Path. Prom ises were made the sheriffs that the negro would be carried back to the scene of his ‘crime and. the "older heads" of the town consulted as to what .should ba done with him. The negro eras carried to.the iden tical spot where the crime was com mitted and from there was taken to the nearest telephone pole and swung census each county. Hues Oo„ Atlanta, •* v . v Khowes That a Majority of the Farms t in Sooth Carolina are Owned by White People. We have seen it stated la several newspaper* that a majority of the farms in South Carolina were owned by negroes, and that they were still buying land in large quantities. We - - 4*- ■ could not understand how this coaid be true and Intended to hunt the matter p, hut the Newberry Observer baa fore stalled us by getting the facts much better than we could have done. Here Is what the Observer says on the matter:- "Current Events'’—described in Its title as "a condensed newspaper, weekly, for use In public and private schools"—published at Bprlntgfleld, Mass., and Chicago, 111., contains some very startling information for the boys and girls of this great coun- try, "Current Bvents” has been In existence for 11 years and, accord ing to its own statement, “has a lar ger circulation than any other school paper In the world”; and :n an ex cellent school journal, though It does blunder sometimes, as in this in stance, when it says, in its issue of Sept. 29: "Negroes are buying) many farms throughout the South and especially in South Carolina. From 1900 to 1010 the farms owned by negroes in creased by 1 1,295. There are now 176,1 80 farms jn that state. More than half of them , or 96,696, are owned by the colored people.” This big blunder Is no doubt occa sioned by mistaking the meaning of "farms operated’" as reported in the census. The Observer has not seen the agri- cultral censu for 1910 but has the census of 1900; from which we take the following statlstices as to per cent of "farms operated” by whites and colored In the Sothern states at that time: White. ' 73 >4 .76 Colored. 27 24 55 37 33 32 Vir-sJna North Carolina . . South Carolina 45 Georgia 63 Florida 67 Alabama 58 We do not say this to depreciate the achievements of the colored race, (or many of them have done well In accumulating property biyndsutry ra accumulating property by Indulstry and economy. But a newspaper pub lished for "use in public and private schools” and having "a larger circu lation than any other school paper in the world", ought to be better In formed than to publish such "facts" as those embraced in the above clip ping. . - FIGHTING IN PORTUGAL. Catholic Priests and Others Trying to Re-Knthrone the King. A cablegram from Lisbon, Portu gal, says Portugese Royalists, after their defeat qt Vlnbaes, where they lost fifty men, entreched themselves in the rough country and are await ing the arrival of another column under Capt. Couclere. It is reported they have eight field pieces and four Maxim guns. A party of Monarchists commanded by a priest attacked an express train carrying troops to the north near Monsapto. They placed an obstruc tion on the tracks which was discov ered by the engineer, who stopped his train when it was within fifty yards of the pile of stones and rail road ties. The troops responded and drove oc the Royalists. Priests are taking an active part In the organization of guerilla bands and are leading them in the combat with uplifted crucifixes. Monarchist flags are flying over chdrcbes at Gas tello Branco, and Santo Thrysq. The government is finding difficulty in handling the cavalry and infantry in the mountainous districts. FOUR MEN WERE KILLED, Dynamite Exploded Sixty Feet Under the Ground by Drill.

The South has bee^ a persistent and liberal seller on hedges. This Is ex plained by the fullness of the mar kets for actaal/cotton at the South. On the basis of the crop report of last Monday many estimate the crop at from 14,1)00,000 to 16,000,000 bales, though others put it under 14,000,000/ There is a prevalent be lief that the crop Is the largest ever raised, ft is also considered one of the earliest in' point of development.
