In New Orleans last week a young man working in ihe laundry accident ally fell into a machine used for wring ing out clothes, and was crushed and whirled to death in ten seconds.

The unfortunate man was attempting to shift a belt just above the wringer.

ADAMS. fpne Cotton Acreage cf 1887 has been the subject of several conferences the past few days through the south and southwest. Secretary Hector D. Lane of the American cotton growers' pro tective ass' n says the main object is not so much to reduce absolute acreaseof cotton, as to increase the acreage of food products. In T^xas, he estimates this to be the largest overgrown the coming sea son. Enormous areas of new ground are being brought into cultivation every year, and cotton is the best thing farmers can plant this land with ; it takes the rankess out of the ground quicker than any other crop know. At a state meeting held at Augusta, Ga. with Pres Lane presiding, the following r?solu lions was adopted: An iucreaee of area planted in food crops must inevitably bring prosperity to the cctton growers, irrespective of the size of the cotton crop. There has never been a time in our history that amo/emant looking to the increased production of corn, hay, oats, hogs and other food crops was so important and necessary. -News and Courier.

Edgefleld, March 25.-Certainly one of the most deplorable nomi cides in this State in recent years was that of Will Harris by J. W. Thurmond. Both of the men were young, well-known and well-known and well liked, and the cause of the difficulty was so trifling as to make the result all the more pitia ble. Owing to a delay of over three hours on account of railway connection I did not reach Edge field until late to-day, but it was ?ot too late to find that the people tvere much excited over the kill ing of yesterday afternoon, and :hat there was a very divided >pinion regarding the affair, s0 nuch so that there is no need to ry to reconcile these views. AU hat need be given is the evidence aken at the coroner's inquest, in ju ustice to the dead and the living, fc nd whatever is written is abso utely without paesion, feeling or b prejudice to the deadTor the liv- fl og. 0 The talk is that the case will be * ard fought in the Courts. There re now down for tho defence, ?l lessrs. Croft and Tillman, N. G. Ivans and Sheppard. The fam T of Mr. Will Har cia did not ar- , ive here until late, and attended 1 ) funeral arrangements, and so 1?re were no positive legal ar- i ingements, but the report is that [r. S. McG. Simkins and Gen. M. 00 . Butler will be employed fir ie prosecution. At the inquett 1 lis morning there was no contest 8 . cross-examination, and wit- y ?sses ?V""* fteir otntftrnfint8. Thus hi bur m o u a ssauui^e K)r Mr Harri6 aadrssea ivir Vii ond. I moved on, and Mr Har s said : "Captain, I am going on ithyou."I had then, I suppose, issed on two or three steps past ie door. I tut ned around and iced up towards Thurmond'* fice. Thurmond and Harris raised |a is voice and spoke to him, and lid that he did not approve of hit >uduct in omitting saying whal B intended saying.and wanted to ive him his opinion, and he did ive it to him. I could not catch ll that he said denouncing Thurm ad's course, and then Thurmond 3ked him what he meant. He used retty strong language. Harris lid, "You are a low, dirty :oundrel." Thurmond pulled his istol and fired. Nothingelse was fiid. Harris put his right hand D his breast, and walked down on be sidewalk to Mr. Scurry. Mr. larris was going down directly to Ir. Scurry's house near the bridge. Ie was not on the sidewalk. He ras along the ditch near the side walk. Thurmond was in his door. That is what I saw, sir. Harris is lead. Weil, life was in him when vc got him in the room. It could lot have been longer than five niuutes after he was shot before ve got him to the room. I do not snow who saw the difficulty be ndee myself. He was undressed in the room. I uaw several thingB removed from his person-watch, his pocketbook and loose change, Bcrapbook and.knife, several mem orandum books, and twenty-five dollars in the pocketbook and ninety cents in change and a bunch of keys. Flask partly filled with whiskey. It was about half full, about a half-pint flask. I did not ! see any pistol. I examined his grip of clothing. "Did you seeMr. Thurmond when he fired?" "Yes, sir, he shot from the door." "If he had a pistol could you have seen it?" "Yes, sir. 1 never saw Harris draw any weapon." "Did you hear Mr. Harris make any threats?" "I did not." MRS. ANNIE ABBOTT, the Georgia electric wonder, being duly sworn, says: My name is Mrs. Annie Abbott. It was at the hotel. I don't know the name of it-Edgefield Housa, I believe, I was standing at the end window, and I could see entirely to the corner to a little path going down [I saw this gentleman when h( turned coming down that path, He did n ot stop at the place at al] until he passed the corner of the brick store-the office on the cor ? ner, the little brick building. He got almost to the second tree go ing down when he was shot. He [turned about half way around, [pnthis hand back of him and threw his coat back. Then, where I stood, I saw him take a pistol from his pocket, and there was an other gentleman going up the Btroet faciDg him, and .this gentle man passed without speaking to him. He passed just a few steps. He heard the pistol and turned and followed the gentleman. It was the man that pulled the pis toi from his pocket and put Hup in front of him before he was shot. After he was shot he put it back into his pocket and walked to the tree and took hold of the tree, and there was a little slant there, a?d he stepped down, and I thought that he shot himself. He stooped down by the tree and felt around trim like he was looking for some ihing, when he walked over a.lit ie piece and leaned down and ?at over on the grass, and the gen leman who had followed up to he tree went up the street, and hen a colored man walked up to lim and asked : "Captain, are you mri?" The next I saw was the ;e ntleman come up with an arm ull of bundles. I watched him ntil he began to fall over, and hen I knew he was dying, and hey picked him up and carried im off. I do not know anything irther. There seemed to be five r six that curried him. I do not now who had hold of him. "You saw the pistoi in hil and?" "Yes, sir." "Did the colored man catch hold him when he walked up to im?" "He put his hand on his shout ers." "Which side of the l&ppel of the at did he take hold of?" "His right hand ; put it up to m like this," motioning with his ft hand. "Do you think you would know o corred man were" you to see rn?? *--?i^ f t t r r, e V r '? h tl ff ff b TL tc m gi es re to ct tl bs th de th be H? to in bp . my attention, ana J. B?*T Mr. arris standing in front of Mr. tmrmond's office door. He had ie foot on the street and one foot i the ground, and when I got in ont of Mr. Broom's store I hoard pistol fire, and I turned around A went to the corner and looked' 3wn that way and saw a smoke t front of Mr. Thurmond's office, ad then I saw Mr. Harris going awn towards Mr. Scurry's hotel. '.e made a few ?,teps from the door nd stepped off the sidewalk into ie road. Then Mr. Scurry made p to him, and when Mr. Scurry )t to him I wont to ascist Mr. curry help him up. I asked: Captain, are you hurt?" I and [r. Scurry took him up and car ed him on down to Mr. Dubose's otel, put him to bed and I pulled is shoes off. Then Dr. Hill came, here was some one else helped up ) carry him to the hotel. I do ot know who they were. I saw apt. Dubose when I got to his iazza. He might have4been with s. I was eo frightened I do not ^member seeing him before. I Dund no pistol on his body, Mr. curry got to him first. DR,, F. W. P. BUTLER, teing duly sworn, says: I am a iracticing physician. I made a >oet-mortem on the dead budy of rVillie HarriB. I found a gunshot vound midway between the two lippies on the breast toward the eft, about three inches above the pit of the stomach, about seven inches down the uternum, or breast bone, sufficient :o cause death. I found nc other lesions on the body. The wound was sufficient to produce death. C. H. ANDERSON, sworn, says: Well, preceding the shooting I. walked into Mr. Lynch's store. Mr., Thuimond, Jule Hol stein and two other drummers, be side Mr. Harris, were there. About the time I got in Mr. Harris walk ed around the back of the store about where the pipe goes up. He walked up against one of the drummers and says, "I have got a good knife and a Colt's pistol in my pocket." I thought he and the drummer were joking at each other. The drummer took hold of his arm, and they walked out the front door. Whim he went oui Mr. Thurmond sayii: "I came very near having to strike that fellow." About that time Mr. Harris and the drummer walked back in. Mr. Thurmond then walked out. "I Be dc RI ar ti] lil fa H Pi hi al ai gi g* back in. Mr. Thurmond then walk ed out. As soon as Mr. Thurmond left Harris said. "I shot into him very heavy." The drummer asked, who was that? Mr. Harris replied, "A damn dirty Tillmanite. I went over to Mr. Bell's store, and about the time I got to Mr. Bell's store I beard the shooting. That is all I know. Mr. Harris did not seem to be excited, but he was pretty full of whiskey. JULE HOLSTEIN, being duly sworn, says: I was in the store. Well, I do not know, they got to talking, having a gen eral discussion on politics. There were Mr. A. C. Ligon, Mr. Charlie Gray and Mr. Dorn, I think tha was all. M. Anderson came in af terwards, Mr. Harris asked Thur mond who elected him, and how he was elected. He asked if he|] wts not elected by Tillmanites. Mr Thurmond, I think, claimed |f thtt he was elected by both par ties. He asked Thurmond if it was Qot understood that he was a Till uanite : Bennie sent word to elect lim, or something to that effect. They had what I looked upon as a riendly discussion, I saw nothing o get mad about. Thev kepi on alking on that line. Finally I re narked to Harris that Thurmond rae neither a Tillmanite nor Con eryative, now he was a solicitor. Veil, somebody called Wi'l Har le to the door. I remarked to 'hnrmond that I thought Will ad a drink, and if he said any aing not pay any attention to hat he said. Thurmond H.urely alked out the stoie. Harm- came aok and sat down before Thur lond walked out. Did not seem . be mad. Well, there wasa drum er in there, Murphy, from Vir nia. I thought they were joking ich other about the fighting, I marked to them, "If you want fight get behind this pile of ?rn." Harris went around behind te counter and got a chew of to icco, and leisurely walked out of e store. I did not ser Hugh An rson iu the store at the time of e discussion. He might have eu in there. He came in before arris went out, I know, I helped pick him up, and carried him to the store I saw no pistol. MR B T SCURRY, inc d' .. . ; 1 sp Ci ti. pe ai: St ar ya sh to sh Al bl in.
