? FARM ENRICHES S. C. MAN T SECTION liOSS' HVCOKSS ON FA KM L Jj. M. WooU'i) Probably Only Farmer Worth Over $200,000 Working 1 For Kailroatl. I ^ Charlotte Observer. ! jc It was up at Moutreat that some si geutlemen were talking about useful' Q' citizenship. The Htory was told of the Introduction of cotton into South Carolina by a 16-year-old girl named n Elizabeth Lucas. Of course, the rJ story of Jerry Moore was told, and Mr. Melver Williamson of Darling- ^ ton and Mr. David Coker of Harts- hi ville, S. C., each came In for their a| share of praise because of the work n' they had done, one in the development of corn and the other in the de- V.1 velopment of cotton, ami each were , b spoken of in the highest terms. Then a Rock llill man said: "There is a man who lives between ni Rock Hill and Chester, who located there some 30-odd years ago as a ' section boss on the railroad, and he still has control of that section. He keeps his part on the railroad as .j smooth as the floor and the company rarely has an accident on this section. His name is L. M. Wooten and his postofllce is Lewis' Turnout. The railroad company has often of- ! fered him better Jobs at other places, , but he has always declined. "The reason why he likes this . place is because he has bought land . and has become one of the best . ' farmers in the state. Lands that he . bought for $2.50 or $5 an acre are . now worth about $100 an acre. He .. has become rich farming, and Is now worth over $200,000." "He Is probably the only section / master In the United States worth ' over $100,000, still holding: his job , asd with no Idea of giving it ?p." Mr. Wooten has educated his two " sons at Clemson College, and has Jv( himself become a reader of books, although he was not originally nn ' educated man. He lives In a good house, well furnished, and has a fine library. He has a windmill to sup- , , ply his house and barn with wrater, '' and raises quantities of live stock. 'J He furnishes fresh lnmb and mutton ^ to Rock Hill the year round and to Winthrop College In season. It's a j , remarknble case of a man making a ' fortune In a very simple way by simc ply attending to his business. "One of his sons Is a sort of assistant superintendent of the farm C. and looks after the farm work to- tl gether with the operation of a gin- tr nery which he has built. Mr Woolen tc raises f?0 bushels of corn to the arre g< and a bale or a hale and a hal' of as cotton to the acre on every acre that al he cultivates. In the new ginnery u| he has built lie has nrovlded for tlio m bridling of lo 'g stapie cotKi! ?* il tl p? specinl pin made for '.ho purpose." ui This same Rock Hill man said that H the new trnln Inaugurated on the IS1 6th of July, between Columbia and T Charlotte over the old :l C's Railroad, via Lancaster and Rock Hill, si was proving a very popular train, w It comes up in the morning and goes d< back In the afternoon, passing n? sc Pineville about noon. He said that la the ladles were beginning to use it as a shopping train into Charlotte. This train In addition to the ones already running over the regular route N from Charlotte to Columbia gives Charlotte and Rock Hill a double t service. In addition to this, It brings sj the Lancaster and Camden section aI Into close connection with both Rock Hill and Charlotte. tr y< CONSTABLE BADLY BEATEN. lf hi sr John (bullion Severly Hurt in Battle w With a Strange White Man. w Special to The State. ^ Gaffney Special to Columbia State, July 22.?John Graham, agent for the Southern railway and constable at Thicketty, this county, j,, was severely beaten today by a _ strange white man. Graham had responded to a woman's call for help. A man supposed to be Graham's as- ^ , sailant, was captured and lodged in ? Jail today. He gave his name as Jim Vlck, his home as nowhere. b' Graham heard a woman calling for help and when he answered he saw 1' a white man advancing toward a re- H spected woman of Thicketty with a R<: rock in his hand. Graham called for him in hult nnd unrr<iTwh>r In nrrnut m The man turned and announced that tl he would die first, at the same time m striking Mr. Graham with a large e< rock. The constable attempted twice E to shoot his pistol but the weapon w missed fire each time. Meanwhile the m assailant advanced and knocking the b: constable down, tore his pistol from ic his graHp and shot at him with his _ own weapon. Missing the officer with the first shot he set upon the fallen man and beat him info insensibility with the pistol butt. He then made his escape. When Mr. Graham recovered he telegraphed to Oaffney and Sheriff Painter went to the scene. Meanwhile a posse had been formed from Cowpens and other points and the trail of the fugitive was taken up. This afternoon a man supposed to be the assailant was captured and Is now in the county Jail at Gaffney. He gives his name as Jim Vick and is supposed to be a tramp, since he says th tt his home is nowhere. i ne iiu'iufiii snawa urcui excuement In thin faction and a number of people are said to have gone from Cowpens to the scene on a specially contrived train to aid In the search for the assailant of Officer Graham.

Anderson Special to Columbia va Itate, July 23.?A mad dog ran tic imuck In this city yesterday morn- ag ng, biting five children and two ja frown persons before it was over- ro aken and put to death. The dog, jt vhlch was a large hound, was first m; ieen at a point between the Ander- ..i. on and Brogon cotton mills. The Irst attack was made on the young at on of John Brown, who lives on jai Berkley street. Two dogs at the \y irown home were also nttten. The pe log then started across the northern ection of the city in the direction of th lue Bleckley annex. A child of A. P. wt 'nrter was bitten and also a child of go Valter Casey. The dog left the city, iai ;oing in a northerly direction, and _ he city and county authorities were n close pursuit. On the plantation if Frank Ithody the dog attacked wo negro children, tearing their di aces horribly with his fangs. The log was not injured, although Mr. thody and others fired shot after hot at him. The dog got out of or ight of the crowd in pursuit and ar vas next heard of on the farm of I dr. Burgess, about eight miles from a no city, and not very far from Wll- or iamston. The dog was put to death ar n that neighborhood after one of _ dr. Itnrgess' children had been bit- 1 en. Several dogs and cats were ' * dtten and many of these have been tut to death. All the seven persons ire receiving medical attention. aa Some of them were taken to Colum- gl >in last night for Pasteur treatment, i k-hile the others will he given the I reatment at home, the state medi- ' |j, al department having heen appeal- i d to for Pasteur vaecine. The dog's ' q( lead was packed In Ice and shipped o Columbia for examination. There s no doubt here, however, that the log was mad. Relng of the opinion that the pub- |j ic welfare and safety demand it. city ci ouncil yesterday issued a proclama- at] ion requiring all dogs at large on he streets to he muzzled. Explicit hi nstructions were given the police r*] ifhrers to kill any dog found at large in the streets without a muzzle. The mad dog scare created great L xcitement for a while and a large gc rowd joined in the chase to kill the log. The police of the city were ;reatly relieved about noon to learn 1 iver the telephone that the dog had teen located and had been killed. , I ' *' I A i Crnivil Ovor II??r I everybody's Magazine. j j 1 When Frank Stockton started out j , vith his Rudder Grange experience | le undertook to keep chickens.
