? Lake City. Fla.. November 25: The
harm which cheap Egyptian cotton labor
does to the business of the Sea Island
cotton growers of the United
States was the local point of discussion
at today's convention here of the
Sea Island Cotton Growers' association
of Georgia and Florida. A resolution
was adopted setting forth the cost of
production of Egyptian cotton with labor
at "eight to ten cents per day." and
the cost of production of Sea Island
cotton at twenty-two to twenty-four
cents per pound" and ask for a tariff
of ten cents per pound on Egyptian
cotton. The convention appointed a
committee of eight members, four from
Georgia and four from Florida to meet
the ways and means committee at
Washington December first and argue
for ten cent tariff on Egyptian cotton.
The convention also endorsed by resolution
the policy of protection for
American industries. It decided to
ask the co-operation of Harvie Jordan,
president of the Sea Island Cotton association
and C. S. Barrett and R. F.
Duckworth, of the Farmers' Education
and Co-operative Union.

yards, the same as the Olympiad Marathon,
which Hayes won at Shepards
Bush, London last summer. Dorando
proved Hayes1 master tonight, as he
held the lead from start to finish, finally
winning by about 60 yards. Hayes
was in the lead five times during the
race, but only for a few seconds each
time. Dorando's time was 2:44:20 2-5
and Hayes 2:45:05 1-5. Ten thousand
persons watched the contest, and while
partisan feeling ran high nothing more
than good natured raillery was the outcome.
The last few mile* of the race
was exciting. In the 24th mile Hayes
made another of the Jumps to the
front that he had been springing at
intervals during the race, but Dorando,
running strong, easily resumed the lead
like a flash. This was repeated half
a mile further on, Dorando again proving
the stronger. The 25th mile was
finished in 2:36:57 1-5. Hayes weakened
in the last In.lf-mile and the Italian
won handily by about 60 yards.
? Nashville, Tenn., November 25: The
fcrlmlnal court today fixed the trial of
Col. Duncan B. Cooper, his son, Robin
J. Cooper, and John D. Sharpe, on the
charge of the murder of former United
States Senator Carmack. for December
8. All pleaded not guilty when arraigned
separately. They were refused
hail. Counsel for defense objected to
their clients being brought in person
into court and asked to be allowed to
waive formal arraignment, urging the
custom which has prevailed in this
court. The attorney general insisieu
following the law to the letter,
:ho**ever, and the court sustained him.
Col. Cooper listened closely to the
.reading of the indictment and at its
close Judge Hurt asked: "Are you
guilty or not guilty?" "Not guilty,"
was the reply in a clear voice. Robin
Cooper was next called and the indictment
against him read in the manner
of the preceding one. His answer
to the usual question was in a low
voice. "Not guilty." Mr. Sharpe was
called and the Indictment charging him
with the murder of Senator Carmack
was first read and the usual question
ra?ked him. His reply, in a loud voice,
.wax "Not guilty, sir." The indictment
.cliarging him with being an accessory
before the fact was next read and in
the same manner and words he entered
his plea.

? Union City. Tenn., November 24:
The little town of Tiptonville, bordering
on Reelfoot Lake, which has been
the scene of many stirring incidents for
the past month, witnessed the lynching
late this afternoon of three negToes,
who were arrested this morning for
murdering Special Deputy Sheriff Richard
Burress and fatally wounding
John Hall, deputy sheriff. The negroes'
names were Marshall Stinebeck,
Edward Stinebeck, Jim Stinebeck.
These brothers created a disturbance at
a religious meeting near Tiptonville
Saturday night and when the two officers
attempted to arrest them a fight
ensued in which the negroes came out
victorious and made their escape. They
were captured this morning. The
lynching would have happened earlier
in the day had it not been for a number
of citizens who pleaded that the
lynching be deferred. This was finally
accomplished when Justice Lee Davis
agreed to open his court at 5 o'clock
in the afternoon and give the negroes
a speedy trial. This was done and no
sooner had the negroes been given
death sentence than the mob, with
whoop and yell, rushed into the court
room, seized the negroes and soon had
them hanging to a nearby tree. Many
shots were fired into the air as the
negroes were drawn from the earth.
Immediately on official confirmation of
the threatened lynching at Tiptonville,
Governor Patterson ordered Captain
Ragan at Union City, to dispatch
twenty-five militiamen of the Obion
county reserve to the scene. They
were sent on a special train. The troops
had traveled forty miles and arrived
after the lynching was accomplished.
<Thc \|orkritlc (Bnquirrv.
Pntered at the Postofflce in Yorkvllle
as Mail Matter of the Second Class.
YORKVILLE. S. C.i
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 27. 1908.
The Anderson Mail, whose sincerity
we hold in the highest respect, and
whose judgment generally meets with
our approval, insists upon discussing
the terribly perplexing question as to
the best way of disposing of offenders
who commit the nameless crime. It
thinks that the military ought not to
have been called upon to guard the
Spartanburg jail, and is rather disposed
to sympathize with the soldiers who
refused to muster to orders. Although
we confess that this is a very unpleasant
question, we do not feel warranted
in trying to dodge it. The thing, however,
is not to be decided by a man's
feelings, what he would or would not
do, or would like to do, under certain
circumstances. The question is broader
and deeper than that. Of course,
where a neighbor, or even a few Individuals
see proper to perpetrate a
lynching for this crime, there is not
likely to be much objection. Protest
arises only in case of grave doubt as
to whether the lynching was justified
by the facts. But while this is the
truth, we would not be understood as
claiming that it is best. Our view as
to what should be done is different
from what we, ourselves would be
strongly tempted to do, and which we
probably would do. But of this fact
we feel convinced, that if this country
would attain the highest and best
progress in civilization, it must make
the laws of the land absolutely supreme,
subject only to the revealed law
of Almighty God. The enforcement o^
law is not perfect in Germany, England
or France; but it is far better
than in this country, and this crime
is seldom heard of in ony of those
countries. We have seen lynching for
*' ' -?*?? ninrtA tKn v**o)? nn/i
iniH Cnrilt* nmvc Hie nut | up?M
every negro In (he land as well as
every white man know? the penalty;
but lynching does not seem to have
had a great deal of effect in the direction
desired. On the other hand,
we are tempted to believe, that this
crime owes its prevalence more to our
flagrant failure to enforce our laws
than to any other cause. It is a fact
well understood by all men of average
intelligence that where law is established
in all the majesty that should
belong to it. so far as human endeavor
can so establish it, Jt becomes the most
powerful agency on earth for good?the
guiding protector and benefactor of
those who w<5uld do right?and a terror
greater than lynching to those
who would do evil. Now, recurring to
the Spartanburg case and the Justification
of the soldiers who refused to
obey orders. As to the soldier, we
merely have to say that it is his duty
to obey. It is not a matter of fine spun
theory; but of fact. A soldier has
no right even to think of the right or
wrong of questions iike this, or any
other question involving obedience to
orders. But the real point in this question
is beautifully illustrated in the
attitude and conduct of {Sheriff Nicholln.
With what is known about this
man as a Confederate soldier and as
an officer, no man would think of
charging that he does not measure up
to the highest standard of Christian
manhood. We venture that if, as a private
citizen. he could have gotten his
hands on that Spartanburg beast, the
morning of the crime, he would have
killed him as a snake. But when he
took that negro into custody as an
officer of the law. it was a different
matter. The life of the negro did not
enter Into tin? proposition at all. It
was the sacred majesjty of the law for
which Sheriff Nicholls stood, and for
this he showed his willingness to sacrifice
his life. When the administration
of justice shall have been established
in this state in accordance with
the standards of men like Sheriff Nicholls.
it will he on a still higher plane
even than it is in Europe, and there
will be no more lynching for the
crimes that are nocy held to provoke
them will have ceased to <>ccur.
Home Supplies.
It is an old, <#id subject, but the doctrine
of home supplies and cotton as
a surplus, is just as sound now as jt
has ever been. There Is not much tinsel
and glitter about the hog and
hominv rule: but the records of those
who have tried it furnish indisputable
evidence of its complete success.
There h?.r been effort after effort to
carry through unveysal holding movements
for the purpo** ,pf raising the
price of cotton to a fair Jeve>\ and several
of these efforts have been attended
with a great deal of success; bu? fcopej
of them have been as successful as
they should have been for very manifest
reasons. One sufficient reason Is
thui there has never been a holding
movement <h?t held.
We shall not undertake to argue that
the idea of holding cotton is impracticable.
We believe it is practicable; but
we do not believe it Is the best uay to
attain the end sought, a continued high
price of cotton and a big currency balance
for the south. The best way to
accomplish that end is by what is commonly
known as the hog and hominy
route.
While it is an unusual price, fifteen
cents, for instance, is not too high for
cotton. Assuming a whole plantation
devoted to cotton and labor and every
other commodities needed to produce
the crop, paid for in money, we do not
believe things could possibly he managed
so as to enable the owner or
manager to break even at fifteen cents
for his cotton, I$ut it is not to be
contended that this is a fair business
test. Among other things, while it is
admitted that a whole year is required
in the raising of a crop of cotton ready
for market, it must not be forgotten
that the capital, labor and equipage
required is idle during a considerable
portion of the meantime when ordinary
business economy requires that it
should be productive. The idea of devoting
a plantation to a single crop is
absurd.
On the other hand it follows that the
farmer who so pitches his crop as to
economize all the time that can be
made profitably available during the
year, must necessarily reduce his cotton
acreage below what it would be if
his purpose is to make as much cotton
as possible. This is the hog and hominy
idea in a nutshell, and it is the
policy that has been followed not only
by those who have been most successful
in the past; but by those who will
be most successful in the future. It
involves a principle that is applicable
to every other line of business, the
same as to farming.
It seems to us that to this time,
the tendency of the universal holding
idea has been to increase rather than
decrease cotton production. We would
like to think of it otherwise; but our
observation does not so permit us. It
is a fact that thousands have stood
by their obligations to curtail acreage
and hold cotton; but at the same time
it is a fact that other thousands have
increased their acreage in the hope that
the general holding would bring better
prices and have sold whenever they
thought their own personal interest
would be best subserved, regardless of
obligations to others. The general effect
has been prejudicial to diversity
and in the direction of an increased
yield.
The most common argument advanced
by the average cotton producer
against the hog and hominy policy or
diversification of crops is that "the other
fellow will not do it." That is correct.
The other fellow will not do it.
And right there is the point. In failing
to do it "the other fellow" pays the
j penalty. The man who does do it
reaps the reward regardless of what
the other fellow does. For, while it
Is true that it Is not practicable to
raise an all cotton crop at fifteen cents
a pound, it is practicable to profitably
raise cotton purely as a surplus at a
much less figure.
If the entire south would raise cotton
only as a surplus, the price would
speedily go to fifteen cents and stay
there. While the pursuance of this
policy by individuals will not bring
about the same result, those individuals
would be assured of sound business
progress.
We would not be understood as Jn
any way trying to minimize the importance
of united effort. Muph good
work has been accomplished by tbe
Southern Cotton association and the
l.'..^,.o' I'ninri nnH thPTP is ITiUCh
I'UI IIICIP H.IVM., MMU r-.~ -rmore
good work to be done by both,
particularly the latter. But neither
organization has ever sought to teaph
that the whole problem lay in reducing
the acreage or holding cotton off the
market. The Farmers' Union, especially.
holds that hog and hominy?diversification?affords
the master key to
the situation, and every man who tries
this, whether as a member of one or
both of the organizations, or as an individual,
will certainly meet with ultimate
success.

on account of so much rain, but the
farmers are taking advantage of every
moment that the land is dry enough to
plow, and if there is any chance at all
to get the seed in the ground there will
be a very good acreage sowed in this

THE DOPE FIENDS.
There are not as many dope fiends
in Yorkville now as there were a year
or two back. At one time there was
quite a large number of them in the
town; but they have been thinning
out steadily and surely, until now
there are very few left.
By "dope fiends" are meant the people
who have contracted the cocaine
habit?mostly negroes. This form of
dissipation was originally brought to
Yorkville by home negroes who had
become addicted to it in other towns,
and by stragglers who came for employment
on public works.
The number of fiends increased
steadily from a very few t? quite a
crowd, apd included rjegroes of both
sexes. There were po laws aga|nsf the
sale of the dpug at that time and it
was easy to get. In tt|e course of time
the average dope fiend came to tje
known eyen to casual observers by hjs
Characteristic listlessqess. sjespiness and
the daaed, Indifferent manner in wbioh
he conducted himself generally. But
after a while with the enactment of local
and state laws prohibiting the sale
of cocaine there followed a noticeable
decrease in the number of users of
cocaine.
"There are a few 'dope' fiends in
Yorkville yet," said a young man who
has been in a position to get Information
on the subject, to the reporter. "I
~ T vtavrtA VAU O rl (W O n Whft
nupponr i tuuiu iim.iv. u.
used to be here and who have gone
away because of the difficulty of getting
dope. But there are still a few
here. I do not know where they get
their 'dope' frqm, but I tfUpk they ge
It through ^he mostly. Only' t
few days ago I heard qne negro de7
cline to go down town with another bocause,
he said he was looklnf? for sorqe
'4?PP' hv the next mail. whfch was
about open."
As Is pretty generally understood,
the effects of cocaine on its users is
more destructive of both body and
mind than whisky, opium or morphine.
The stuff seems to deaden all physical
and moral sensibilities, and leaves its
victims more irresponsible even than
animals.

Love, missionary to Mexico, with
an interesting account of her work in
the Mexican field, after which Mrs. R.

whi'.h Mrs. J. F. McElwee read a paper
on "Individual Responsibility." Next
Mrs. S. A. Weber gave some "Helpful

That yvus what one of the members t
of company G, from Cornwell, said as i
he went to bed with the others in the 1
armory of company D, last Monday t
night at about 11 o'clock, after the all 1
day "hike" from home, and although ?
it was a most capital joke, there was r
not much laughing about it until late I
the next day. Most of the men felt i
like they would like to have the same
instructions given out for themselves;
but they were too tired to say "rr|e
too." .

distance is thirty-one miles, and thir- '
ty-one miles in thirteen hours and \
twenty minutes is a "hike" to be proud 1
of. One of the officers said that it '

o'clock Tuesday morning, marched to c
the club house at the range, got break- I
fast at a o'clock, and went to work at t
target practice shortly afterward, put- a
ting |n quite a good day's work. That r
night the men amused themselves in C
various ways, quite a number partici- e
pitting in the old fashioned square -s
dances, which all of them admit would 1
have been more enjoyable if they had t
had ladies for partners. Wednesday e
morning was devoted to more prac- a
tice and Wednesday afternoon the v
company marched back to Yorkvllle, b
and took the train on their return to h
Chester In accordance with the orlgl- t

The Cornwell company is one of the
most efficient in the state. It is made
up principally of farmers, and has been
in existence since about 1892. The
company has carried off various trophies
for general efficiency, and at
Charlotte some time ago won a hundred
dollar prize offered to the best
drilled company in North and South
Carolina.
Capt. McKeown, who has been in
command for several years, is a Clemson

expressed himself as delighted with
the performance of the company, and
appreciative of the courtesies shown

GENERAL SESSIONS.
Upon the reconvening of the court
Tuesday afternoon, Hayes Sanders, the 1
negro who killed Claud Jeter, in Bui- ,
lock's Creek township in July last, was
allowed to plead guilty of manslaughter,
with the understanding that he was
to receive the extreme sentence provided
by statute. He was sentenced
to thirty years.
Bud Adams, colored, was tried on
the charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill, and was convicted of assault
and battery of an aggravated nature;
but up to this morning had not
been sentenced.
The case of R. H. Cornwell, charged
with the murder of Ed Heath, colored, |
was tried on Wednesday. The evidence
was to the effect that Heath
was employed at Mr. Corawell's gin.
He placed a lantern at a place where
lanterns had been prohibited, and Mr.
Cornwell reproved him for it. The
negro was impudent and came around
the press where Mr. Coniwell was.
Mr. Cornwell said he thought he had
a knife In his hand, and struck him
with his own knife. It developed to
Mr. Cornwell afterward that the negro
had no weapon and Mr. Cornwell
did not strike again. The negro lingered
for two weeks or more and died,
Mr. Corn well's testimony was not oontradicted.
The jury, without hesitation,
returned a verdict of not guilty.
On Monday afternoon the grand Jury
instructed the solicitor t<> draw up bills
of indictments against Rev. W. E. Hurt
and W. Thompson Jaokson for assault
and battery of a high end aggravated
nature, and against W. H, Wlndle for
assault and battery with intent to kill,
In the case of Rev. W. D. Hurt and ,
W. Thompson "no bill" was
returned. In the case of W. H. Windie
a "true bill" was returned.
The grand jury got through with its
work on Wednesday, and was discharged
on the submission of its final
report, which is published elsewhere In
this issue. Only the body of the report
was read ?b Wednesday; but this
morning the subjoined oommlttee reports

REPORT OF GRAND JURY.
Various Matters Dealt With in Final
Presentment.
The grand jury got through with Its
work on Wednesday morning and was
discharged after submitting to Hon.
D. E. Hydriek. presiding Judge, the
following, signed W. W. Royce, foreman,
as its final report:
1st. We have passed upon all bills of
Indictment handed us by the solicitor,
and have returned the same with our
findings thereon.
2nd. The report of J. F. Wallace,
Esq., appointed by a former grand jury,
to assort old papers saved from the
fire when the court house was burned,
is herewith attached, and we recommend
that he be paid $25.00 for his
services.
3rd. The report of committee on the
chalngang is herewith attached. We
recommend that a house be secured
for convict quarters during the winter.
If such house cannot be found
adjacent to the roads to be worked,
then new tents or a portable house be
secureu.
4th. A report of the committee on
the county home is herewith attached.
There was lengthy discussion in the
jury room about the advisability of
reducing the acreage of the farm at
the county home, or selling it entire
and purchasing a smaller tract on
some railroad line leading out from
Yorkville, and erecting modern building
thereon. This matter was, however,
laid on the table for future action.
5th. The report of the committee on
the Jail is herewith attached. This
committee recommend repairs on bath
room, unless a new system is to be
Inaugurated at an early date.
6th. We received report of Thos. W.
Boyd, county supervisor, showing a
detailed statement of the criminal docket
of the magistrates of the nine townships
of the county. These reports
3how the aggregate amount paid the
county treasurer for the fiscal year
ending November 1st, 1908, to be $2,404.50.
In checking with the county
treasurer we find that he has received
only $2,234.50. leaving a shortage of
1169.50. This discrepancy is accounted
for only by a carelessness of the magistrates
in remitting promptly the amount
it the time of making the report.
We recommend that these magistrates
who have been derelict in this matter
make remittances at the end of each
quarter and year to tally exactly with
report, and not wait to remit with
subsequent remittances, which is confusing
and makes It impossible to
cheok up. One magistrate reported $90
paid to J. A. Tate, C. C. C. Pis., by orler
of the solicitor, which was found
correct.
7th. Last year we recommended that
the funds in the hands of the county
superintendent of education formerly
used in the purchase of school
Dooks be returned to the county school
fund from which It came, as conditions
have changed and the superintendent
is no longer a dispenser of
books, and the money is lying idle in
the bank. The superintendent of edu
ttuon cans our attention to me iact
:hat the law has made this a perma->
lent fund, and cannot be returned,
We recommend that as conditions
tiave changed and that the money Is
10 longer needed for that purpose, that
he York county delegation to the leg- 1
slature have the law repealed or so
imended that the said money can be
refunded and put into the general
school fund oi| the county, This fund I
vas $5,0*0.00, but some part of it is locked
up ip obsolete book*. The available
imount will be probably $450,00,
Thanking your honor and the solictor
for Ihe courteous assistance reniered
us in the dtsoharge of our du;ies,
we respectfully submit the above 1
is our final presentment
Report of Committee on Chaingang.

ronditlon that the health of the prls>ners
Is very much endangered, as It
