A terrible accident happened at R. L. Sehumpert's gin on last Friday afternoon whereby Mr. Dud ley Hawkins lost his life. Mr. Hawkins was a nephew of Mrs. Schumpert and a son of Mr. P. M. Hawkins. He has been with Mr. and Mrs. Schumpert for a good many years, and since Mr. Schumpert's death has had practically entire con trol of the roller mill and ginnery as well as the farm. He was a young man about 24 years old, very atten tive to business, and with a host of friends. In fact it is s.aid that all of the yonng men in the community came to see him when they learned of the accident and when it was known that he could not live they wept as if a near and dear relative was dead. On Friday afternoon about four o'clock something got wrong with the gin and Mr. Hawkins undertook to clean it out and in doing so his right hand was caught in the saws and his whole arm pulled into the gin cutting it into shreds up to his shoulder be fore the engine could be stopped. It took at least a half hour to take his arm ont. of the machine a.nd during the entire time he directed how it should be done, and showed remark able nerve and presence of mind though suffering terribly. He was taken from the gin to the home of Mrs. Schumpert and Dr. Gilder was summdned but did not reach Mr. Hawkins until about six o'clock. Dr. Senn accompanied Dr. Gilder. Dr. Gilder states that Mr. Hawkins died from the shock, and that it was impossible for medical skill to render any aid. fr. Hawkins died about twelve o'clock the same night and his body wa.s buried at Ebenezer on Saturday afternoon. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Newberry Lodge to Give Entertain ment-F. P. Cooper to Make Ad dress-All Knights Invited. Newberry Lodge No. 75, Kniglrts of Pvthias will hold a special conven tion in their castle hail on Tuesday evening, Nov. 3rd. The members of the other lodges in this county and of Mt. Enon in Salu dacounti; have been invited to meet with the Newberry lodge on this oc easion as the guests of Newberry No. 7. Mr.. Frank P. Cooper, of Charleston, who is chairman of the Thornwell Memorial Committee, ap pointed by the Grand Lodge at Aiken, has accepted an invitation to meet with the Knights on this occassion, and will deliver his lecture explaining and exemplifying the secret work of the order and at ,the same time pres enting the interest of the Thornwell Memorial Fund. The Knights of Pythias in this State have decided to raise a memor ial to the late Dr. James H. Thorn weli, the proceeds from the fund to be used for the education of orphans of Pythians. The, committee has been most successful and it is certain that the Knights of Newberry will do their part towards this worthy cause. Grand Chancellor L. S. Mat-tison will also be present at the meeting on No vember 3rd, and it is probable that there will,.be one or two candidates upon whom the second rank will be conferred. The members of Newberrv No. 75 are very anxious. that eyery Knight of Pythias in this county who can possibly do so will attend thisI meeting. The members of Newberry lodge will serve light refreshments during the evening. It is the general election night and it is vei-y probable that news of the election will be received and the mem bers during the evening can also hear the result. The gra.nd chancellor' expects to raise at least $20,000 by the meeting of the Grand Lodge in Charleston next May for the Thronwell Memor ial Fund. This should be a very easy thing to do and in fact twice that sum ought to be raised without much difficulty. The membership of the Knights of Pythias in this State now is something over 12,000 and it is a very easy calculation to see how small an a.mount from each one will give a very large fund A special committee IL m Newber ry No. 75 composed of Messrs. E. H. Aull, Robert Norris, and C. A. Bow man has been appointed to make ar rangements for this special meeting, a d a notice will be sent to each mem ber of Newberry No. 75 urging his attendance. The invitation to 0O'Neall. Old Town, Prosperity, and Mt. Enon has already been sent, but the com mittee has heard from only Prosper ity, but it expeets the other lodges to attend tis spm. ial covention. HEAVY CRIMINAL DOCKET. Eight Homicides Since July-Extra Week of Criminal Court Order ed-Prisoners in Jail. Solicitor Cooper has ordered a sec Ald week for the criminal court at Newberry and it is proA)able that he will be unable to complete all of the Driminal business even with the two weeks of court. There are probably more criminal eases on the docket at Newberry for this court than has been there for many years, and we do not recall at a.ny time within our recollection of the criminal court at Newberry when there were as many murder cases. There are now eighteen prisoners in jail, four of these are appeal cases, and one a prisoner from the chain a-ng who is sick, leaving 13 prisoners in jail for trial. In addition to these a number of those charged with crime are out on bond. Since the 29th of Jane there have been eight homicides in the county; and there are twelve prisoners, eight principals and four accessories charg ad with muder. Judge Memminger. who recently held the common pleas court in New berry, will hold the criminal court in November. The jury for the first week of the court will be drawn on Saturday of this week a<nd the jury for the second week will be drawn on Saturday of next week. November 7th. The court will open on -the 16th of November. SPECIAL JUDGE SCHUMPERT. Governor Ansel Appoints Col. 0. L Schumpert to Hold Special Court.

Negro Who Shot Another on Hollings worth Place Arrested at Ninety Six. Andrew Savage, the negro who ehot Arch Smith, another negro, at a hot supper on the Hollingsworth place, No. 7 township, about ten days ago, was arrested at Ninety Six on Su-n day. Policeman Attaway, at Chappells, saw him as he boarded the train at Chappells on Sunday morning and wired the policeman at Ninety S,ix to arrest him when the train reached that point. In the meantime Police man Attaway came to Newberry and informed the sheriff, who had a war rant for Savage. Sheriff Buford went to Ninety Six on 'the .afternoon train on Sunday returning the same night with his prisoner. Savage had purchased a ticket to [lodges and was evidently i.ntending to get out of reach of the- officers. It is said that t:he negro A.reh Smith who was shot is gefting on very well and will probably recover. SATURDAY BROKB RECORD. About. Eight Hundred Bales Cotton Sold-Price Was Nine Cents. Cotton on Saturday was selling in Newberry at nine cents, and it wa one of the biggest days thatt Newber ry has had in a long time. Wagons loaded with cot.to'n stood in the streets leading to the platform on which the eotton is weighed for several bloks, and it was la'te in the afternoon be fore 'the last wagon was able to re'ach the platf<sm. About 800 bales ware sold ana quite a number put in the warehouse. It looked like old t'mes in Newberry. Chrysanthemum Show. As announced in last issue ,the la dies of Aveleigh Presbyterian church will hold their annual ehrysanthe mum show on next Friday in the store room recently occupied by M*essrs. Murray and Golden. In addi tion to t'he beautiful display of chry santhemums, roses, and other flowers that will be on display. the ladies will also serve lunch during t.he day. Delicious refreshments cain be had there and it will doubtless be a most pleasant occasion, and all lovers of flowers should not miss the sipor tunity of seeing the large, beautifu,l, and rare collection of these "Queen of the Fall'' flowers which will be HON. E. D. SIUTH SPEAKS. A Large Crowd Hear Him-Delivers D an Eloquent Appeal to the Far mers to Organize. Hon. E. ). Smith according to ap paintment addressed the farmers in N the old court house on Saturday morn- m ing at eleven o'clock. tr Mr. Smith devoted his remarks ila mainly to the importance of farmersit] organizing and endeavored to show| them how the decline in the price of to cotten had been a great loss to all e-w p terprizes and especially to =the far- tL mers of this State. He did not urge'e( them to hold cotton but 4e showed p how the price ought to be more than t, it is. and how it could be if the far- Ip mer; were willing to contribute a a sm: 1l amount per bale for the purpose w of forming an organization through tj which they could demand a better et price for their staple product. The court house was filled and Mr. E Smith was given the very best of at- ei tention and everybody spoke in the tl -highest terms of his address. There is only one solution to the far mers of this section of the country and that has been preached so long and so often that it has become al most threadhare. Everybody admits I the truthful-ness of the position but . very few practice it. So long as the I farmers, of South Carolina especial- q1 ly. undertake to buy ever-ything they Y ,need on the farm instead of growinc D it there, they will be at the mercy of S those who purchase :their cotton. The it farmer who grows on the farm all that i he needs on the farm, and in this country he ca.n do that, and then e: grows all the cotton he can, will make t some money farming re-3ardless of 0: the price. On the other hand the p farmer who undertakes to buy every- 7 thing he needs and to pay for it by J( growing cotton will not make any S money it matters little how high the Y price of cotton may be. Another thing that the farmer ought to do in this section is to grow about twice the 0 amount of cotton on the same land, or in other words plant about half the E aereage and make the same amount of cotton. This can be done and at less expense and with less lahor. Organiza tion is all right but organization J alone will not solve the problem.
