Houston, Tex., June 22.?Nine no grocs met death last night at the W hands of a mob in tlie vincity of Hemphill, in Sabine county. Today I both races secured arms and the tcnII sion is such tonight that a race clash I appears imminent. | The dead: Jerry Evans, aged 22; > Will Johnson, aged 24; Mose Spellmail, aged 24; Cleveland Williams, aged 27; William Manuel, aged 25; Frank Williams, aged 22; two un, known men; Wm. Coy. The lynching followed the killing of two white men by negroes. Two weeks ago llugh Dean and several other white men visited a negro church anil ^ school house, where a dance was in progress, presumably in quest of liI During the evening Dean was killed and six negroes were*held for the killing. At the preliminary examination the evidene tended to show that the plot was formed at the dance to kill Dean. Saturday night last Aaron M. Johnson, a prominent farmer, was assassinated while sealed at the dining table with his wife and child, the bullet being fired through a window. For this crime Perry Price, * negro, was arrested and, it is stated, confessed, implicating Robert Wright, a relative of one of the negroes held for Dean's murder. Price declared lie was offered $5 to Kill Johnson. Then followed the forming of the mob last night, the overpowering of the jailer at Hemphill and the lvnchPl ing of the six negroes held for 11 ic |Kiv muriliM' <>P Dean.

HOLD SPOT COTTON FOR THE MINIMUM PRICE 15 CENTS Some sixty days ago we were told that cotton was going lo eight cents per pound. We wore told this by some of our leading business men and cotton buyers of our cities and they did finally scare some of our farmers and managed to get them to sell some at ten cents per pound. Now lets see what it is selling for. All the way from 12 to 12 1.-2 cms per pound. Now it behooves us lo investigate the cause of this rise of ten dollars per bale. Is it that trade conditions are so much better, or is it that the holding of it off of the market is the cause? The blind man can see the cause. According to the best estimates obtainable the requirements of the mills this year will be greater than the supply of acceptable grades of cotton, hence there should be no fear of a surplus to embarrass the marketing of the balance of this year's crop. On I he other hand it is now generally considered that after the shortage of last year's crop of 4,500,000 bales that the world would need a big crop this year lo supply the demand. A bumpei *rop cannot be expected this year because the acreage has been reduced and the crop is a poor stand. Excessive rains in the west, and the lateness of the season and a dozen other unfavorable conditions. II is impossible that a large crop can be made with these conditions and so I here is no need to fear the alarming predictions of the coflon buyers and I heir allies that cotton cannot go higher. 1 want to tell yon that the very thing thai has advanced it Ion dollars a halo the last thirty days will still if applied make it bring the minimum price. 15 eonls. Now what is (lie remedy? TTold. hold, hold spot cotton and always remember futures cannot he spun. Spot cotton is oiling right here in South Carolina for the same price spots are selling for in New York, and we all know it lakes aboul one oenl per pound to carry cotton to Now York and sell it. This shows the conditions al home needs it for the mills. This should stimulate every holder of spot col ton to hold for the minimum price 15 cents. /It is not loo late to plant corn, yo'n can plant up lo July Vth, plant (in early variety, manure SBMjwul work well.
