n PtrppnivftoH Index-Journal
;s ; As the result of the reckless drive
' ing of a Buick four by J. 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.

| COTTON WORTH 75 CENTS
AT PRICE COTTON GOODS
i
Columbia, S. 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."

WALKOUT AT COLUMBIA.

,
' Seven Hundred Shopmen of Southern
and Seaboard.

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
