Rob Dunn, i of Donalds, Mabel Waite, the little ' six-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. | R. Sid Waite, who live qn the upper j end of Calhoun avenue, is so seriousi ly injured that she is still unconscious 7.! today and other occupants of the car i in which she was riding were also t-' badly shaken up and badly bruised, i-! It was just about eleven o'clock I last night that Mrs. Waite and the k 1 others of her family who were in a j Hupmobile driven by Mr. Roscoe ! Dean came out of Mill street into e Hampton avenue driving slowly, not o . over ten miles an hour according to i eye witnesses. In the car were, Mr. y Roscoe Dean driving, on the front [.1 seat with him was Mrs. Waite with j a baby in her arms and in the rear > j were a sister of Mrs. Waite, Miss Etheridge, daughter of Mr. E. M. > Etheridge of the Greenwood Mill, t another small child of Mrs. Waite and the little six-year old daughter? who was so seriously injured. The little six-year old girl was to have her sixth birthday celebrated today and J ' 1 4. 4-1*^4 u j it was in noner ox mm, eveui tuai> e they were taking the ride and also planning the birthday's pleasures for d today. Just as the car with the hap^y occupants came slowly out of Mill h street, another car a Buick four drivo I en by J. R. Dunn dashed across the P | railroad track coming from th? alley % ] by Beaudrot's shop. Though there I was ample room for two cars to pass s! nri the naved street with all ease, e Dunn's car going at a terrific rate of j speed, instead of keeping to the right e side of Hampton avenue, dashed I across and struck Mr. Dean's car with ; terrific force. The little six-year 0 , old girl was hurled out of the car t and striking the hard pavement was picked up later unconscious and was still in a stupor this morning. Her - condition is causing the family grave e concern and it is not known yet whether she will recover or not. Mother Cut in Face. Her mother, Mrs. Waite, who was sitting on the frnot seat with a baby in her arms was badly cut in the face by broken glass from the windshield. r- Her sister, Miss Etheridge, was also badly bruised. Mr. A. McD. Singleton was one of L~ the first ones to reach the scene. Mr. W. T. Baily, who lives several doors ^ above and P. W. DeVore were also among those to reach the spot early. Testimony of those who reached the e place was that both occupants of the 0 Buick showed evidence of drinking and that one of them, Wm. McDonald y! was too drunk to notice what was go7> ing on, being curled upon the front seat oblivious to what had happened. Four fruit jars containing whiskey were found in the car, one of the jars having been broken. The stuff was of * the white corn whiskey type known as "monkey rum." Placed Under Arrest. Officers Cobb and Corley placed ^ /both men under arrest. Bond in the j amount of one hundred dollars each t i i i_i i j ^ was asKea ana mis was put up anu forfeited. The action of county officials will depend on the condition of , the little girl. n ^ ;0 Mr. Dunn returned to town this p ! morning and its is stated expressed g ' great regret over the accident. He lives at Donalds. ss The occupants of the car which le was hit by Dunn's car state that it was only because their car was mov Ie J ing so slowly mat no more injury was I. received than was, that if they had been going at the speed of the car t- which struck them there is no telling ;o what might have happened. it Mr. Dean's car was injured but nothing like so seriously as the Buick. The Buick remained in the street until this morning when it was )e carried to a garage. Its front wheels were knocked off and other damages s_ done. ? i UNKNOWN NEGRO LYNCHED Claimed He Bore Message From !C[ ! Chicago. is >e Cochran, Ga., Aug. 5.-?An unidentified negro who was taken from a ~ Southern passenger train at 1:40 this f morning on complaints of negro pass sengers on the train and placed in the ie city barracks, was lynched by unf.? i known parties during the early mornP_ I ing.

C.. Aug. 5.?Answer ing an inquiry from Pearseil's magazine of New York as to the cotton situation, J. Skottowe Wannamaker, president of the American cotton association, has sent out the followingtelegram: ^ "The consumer fails to realize the I seriousness of the situation he is | facing. In only two years of the last , 50 has there been improvement in | August condition. That was in 1903 | when the September report showed ! betterment for August of only 1.5 j per cent, and in 1914 when August !rose 1.6 only. ''The department of agriculture 1 states in its condition report that ! 'there is a large abandonment of , acreage.' However, they fail to make j allowance for this, both department and private estimators basing their | production estimate upon an acreage . of 33,960,000. From this should be | deducted an acreage abandonment of j 9 1-4 per cent. "Even with ideal seasons, an ex! tremely small crop, certainly not | larger than around 10,000,000 bales j is an inevitable certainty. With ad| verse seasons or insect damage we j are facing a crop calamity. The I Dlant. with a diseased root system, j sappy, poorly fruited, is unable to ! stand reverses. It is two to four weeks late and subject to calamity from insect damage. We are there! fore facing the possibility of the | smallest crop grown in the last 50 | years. None of the 9 1-4 per cent I acreage abandonment shown in our j report can be reclaimed. The season ! is too late. | f Cotton carried over on August 1st I includes, bollies, rotten and unspm| nable cotton. The total world's pro| duction in 1915 was 17,609,000; in j 1916 it was 18,095,000; in 1917 it 1 was 17,410,000. Th efigures for 1918 ! have not yet been compiled. ! "The world's consumption in 1915 1 was 19,761,000; in 1916 it was 21,i 011,000; in 1917 it was 21,180,000; f in 1918 it was 17,701,000. These I figures are official, being furnished | by the department of agriculture. We are facing the absolute certainty of complete exhaustion of the supply of raw short staple cotton. I 1 1 - - L_ XT- _ j "une 01 ine Desi exports in trie j South estimates the cost of production of the growing crop at 47 1-2 cents per pound, basis middling. The American Cotton Association with ! representatives from every cotton growing county in the belt will es; tablish the minimum price for the j growing crop based on supply and dej mand in comparison with profits be! ing made by the manufacturer. This j association is now so thoroughly orI ganized that the price so argeed upon | will be maintained. The manufacturer will never have the opportunity to again buy cotton at anything like ; present prices. me leaamg manu! facturers in America inform us. 'We i have closed out our hedges. Do not expect to hedge under present condi| tions. Realize that it will be exj tremely hazardous as purchasers unI der existing conditions will demand I actual cotton. We could pay today i for raw cotton, basis middling, 75 ! cents per pound and make reasonable ! profit." i i WALKOUT AT COLUMBIA. i , ' Seven Hundred Shopmen of Southern and Seaboard. 9 Columbia, Aug. 4.?Approximate: lv 700 members of the five allied I ? ; machinists crafts employed at the lo; j cal shops of the Southern and Seaj board Air Line Railway went out on i a strike here this morning for an in: : creased wage scale. The walkout was '; in obedience to orders from the na' J tional federation, which has called a j nationwide strike. , j Approximately 600 machinists em! ployed at the Southern shops laid ' down their tools at 10 o'clock this , morning and quietly quit work. Offi, | cials of the craftsmen's unions said , that the strike was 100 per cent : strong, both white artisans and negro helpers walking out. At the local Seaboard shops about ninety or 100 workmen obeyed the strike order. The machinists are contending for a flat wage scale of eighty-five cents an hour, with time and half-time for overtime, for all machinists, irri, spective of craft; sixty cents an hour ; for helpers, ten cents an hour for apprentices. The men are prohibited by their * i unions irom aomg any repair wont, even to coupling air hose on pasJ senger or freight trains which duty, j they say, the trainmen's and conduci tor's unions forbid their members doI j ing. However, the machinists allow j their members working on wrecking ! crews to remain on duty, but they I are only to respond to wrecking calls i lo clear the main lines when trains ' The rna.h:lists here think that ! they will win their strike in a short ' j ; t'n.0. i TWICE REPORTED DEAD i ! ; , . i | P.
