Believed That Troops on Scene Wil be Able to Reep Things Quiet. Palestine, Tex., Aug. 1.-In his charge to the special grand jury im panelled today Judge B. B. Gardner of the third judicial district demanded that a thorough investigation of the race riot in Anderson be made. Four additional arrests were made today in connection with the clash: beLween the whites and blacks Friday night and Saturday. Eight white men are now in jail all of whom are charg ed with murder in the first degree, and held without bail to await the action of the grand jury. These are: James Surger, Josh Bishop, Walter Fergus - on, Isman Garner, Andrew Kirkwood, James Jenkins, F. C. Bailey and Mor gan Henry. Tropp C of the Texas State guard under the command of Capt. L. H. Younger, arrived here today and is encamped in the court house yard.' The troop will patrol the scene of the riots and protect the prisoners now in jail. According to the authorities the situation is now well in hand and no further trouble is anticipated. Deputy Sheriff Reeves, who return ed from Slocum this afternoon, -said: "I am positive that the trouble be tween the white and black races of Anderson county is at an end, it is my further belief that no more than 15 white men participated in the riot. Of course there were probably between 100 and 200 armed men in the com munity, but they were armed merely for the purpose of protecting their homes and quelling such uprisings as might occur. The great majority of these men did not reach the scene of the trouble. A coroner's inquest over the eight negro bodies found returned a verdict in each case, that the de ceased came to death from gunshot wounds in the hands of a person or persons unknown." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SNAPSHOT OF THE STATE. * I A* * * * * * * * * * * * * Columbia, August 1.-The warm weather and cessation of rains have improved crop conditions in this State very greatly within the past few days. Up to ten days ago there was excessive blueness and despondency on the part of the farmers, particular ly those in 'he territory below Colum bia, but this is now materially chang ed. The improvement is, however, not universal, as some of the farmers contend that in places crops were be yond recovery and that the stands were so bad that they could not be saved by conditions. The stands and crop conditions in the upper part of! the State are said to be better than they are in the fiat country, because the, upper tier of counties is rolling and hilly. In certain parts of the sec tion below Columbia the cotton crop is said to be particularly good. The farmers generally have used fertiliz ers freely and expect to derive'* full benefit therefrom. Little Advance Selling. In previous years many farmers have sold their cotton in advance to merchants and cotton dealers. Last year there was a great deal of "wail ing and gnashing" on this account and quite a number of failures were re corded and credited to the advance! sale of cotton and subsequent inabil ity to get the cotton that had been bought. The general experience~ has been that it is most difficult to get deliveries when the market goes up. The reports this year are that but little actual cotton is being sold1 for fall delivery. Although prices now] are generally regarded as being very 1 good, both buyer and seller are 'timid about getting together--that is for ac tual cotton. .Nearly a Century Ago. It is interesting to note that mo than 'ighty years ago, Mill1s, the civil eg and architect, who designed the first asylum building here and the* WVhite House at Washington. wrote a. pamphlet in which he strongly urged1 that the drainage of the lowlands of this State would do more for South Carolina than any one agency. Mills' pamphlet, which is quite rare, gives a full engineering outline of how this drainage could be accomplished. In] the course of the argument, written in 1 the first part of the nineteenth cen- 1 tury, he argued that drainage would do much towards solving the slavery question. MIills was opposed to slav-1 ery. (Col. Cosezrove and Drainiage. It hna not been many years since Charle's:un Ne.ck. Col.
