THE FORT MILL TIMES. ] 16TH YEAR FORT MILL, S. C., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1907 NO. 2J* USED IRON BAR On His Head But He Refused to Give Up Keys. BEATEN BY ROBBERS. Hp Was Attacked on the Nineteenth Floor of a Skyscraper When He Was Alone in the Iluilding?Finally the Robbers Took I'ity on What They Thought Was the Old Man's lnnorense and Left Him. Two burglars, in an effort to get the keys to offices of many brokers iin.t hankers In the Centurv building. No. 74 Broadway, New York, Wednesday night, beat Richard F. Bray, aged watchman, with an iron bar. and then attempted to chloroform him. The assault occurred on the 19th floor of the building where the cries of the old man could not have been heard in the street, and when the only person in the sky sciaper was a cleaner on the lirst floor. A former employe of one of the banks in the building is suspected. The detectives say that this man after his discharge, became intimate with a professional safe breaker. The bank where he is employed Is equipped with burglar alarms, and the only safe way to gain entrance into the bank was to get the keys. The detectives say that had the men got into the bank and opened the safe, the robbery would have eclipsed the robbery of the Old Manhattan bank years ago. One elevator in the building is in use all night for the benefit of the watchman. Some time after midnight. Gray had got to the 19th floor when suddenly two men sprang at him as he came from an office. One felled him with an iron bar and the other struck him across the face with a chisel. "Now Rive up the keys to every office," one of the men commanded. Blood was flowing over the old man's face and so weak was he from pain that he could not rise to his feet. He was game to the core, however. There was not a key to an office in the building that was not tucked away in his pocket. "I haven't got a single key." he said. "If you don't believe me. kill me and search me. I don't mind dying. Only make it quick aud don't beat me like this." This speech displeased one of the men and he brought his fist down on the helpless old watchman's head, and the next instant one thrust the chloroform under his nose. As Gray explained afterward, the chloroform seemed to alleviate his pain and give him strength. He struck the vial and knocked it from the man's hand. Then he tried to rise, but a blow from the iron bar sent him to his knees again. "Haven't you got those keys now?" asked the man. "No. and 1 never have had (hem. They don't trust the likes of me with keys to the banks." said Gray. The old man's condition seemed to touch one of the robbers with pity. "Say." he said to his companion, "don't heat hint any more. He has not got the keys. Give the old guy a handkerchief to tie up his head." The man then took his companion's "handkerchief and bound it about old Gray's head. The two ' men then started for the elevator. Gray got to his feet and tried to follow them, when one of them sprang at him and ' knocked him sprawling. "Now. you try that, and it will he your finish. You stay here and we will find the way out." he said, and then sent the elevator shooting to the ground floor where the two men ran to the street, unlocking the safety latch on the front door.

SLEW WIFE AND IIIMSFXF. Desperate Deed To Prevent Wife Su- j ing For Divorce. At Columbus. Ohio. Fred Butt, a molder, aged 36, went to the home of his wife early Wednesday and, forcing his way into the house, asked her if she were determined to push her suit for divorce. She said yes, and he grabbed her, and tried to force carbolic acid into her mouth, burning the flesh about her Hps. Failing in this, he shot her and then put a bullet into his own body. fPaihng o kill himself, he swalioweM an otucs of carbolic acid. AWAITS A PRETEXT. That is What Congressman Hobson Says About Japan. Hp Says War lltHwei-n thp FnKed States and flip Japs May Be On Very Soon. In the course of a lecture at Greenville on Thursday evening. Congressman Richmond Pearson Hobson. formerly of the United States navy, made the startling declaration that Japan is only awaiting a pretext before declaring war against the United States. He said Japan could land 200.0:>o veteran troops on the Pacific coast before the United States could prepare effective resistance, and rout l follow them up with 200,000 more! before this government, could dispatch half as many over our transcontinental railroads. Japan was prepared for war today, he said, but the United States could not get on a war footing in months, perhaps in a year. Captain Hobson said that the dispatch of the battleships to the Pacific may save the sit uation for the United States, but he feared Japan would strike before the fleet ever reached San Francisco. Japan is now trying to find an excuse for a declaration of war, in older to have some of the force of public opinion in Europe in her favor. He cited that the San Francsco incident as an example, and said that our backdown was a wise piece of statesmanship, because it prevented a declaration of war, though it was humiliating to American pride and patriotism. He pleaded for a greater navy, which he said would insure the peace of the world. CAME I.OMi lHSTANt'K. Message Came Twelve Thousand Miles When Pickinl Up. While Morconi experts were testing new receiving cones at the top of the tower at the station at Port Morien last week, an operator was in communication witli the wireless station at Manila. The message received was that the American cruiser Philadelphia had arrived. The Marconi people account for the occurrence by the theory that the cone at Manila must have been in nerfect tune with that at Port Morion The message from Man"a was "picked up" while being sent to some other station on the Pacific or to a war vessel. The message was recorded at the time by an operator in the receiving room at the Marconi station. At the time the experts were e>: perimenting in an effort to receive messages from Ireland. They received several messages from the Irish station, and were in the act of making further tests when the instruments recorded the arrival of the Philadelphia at Manila. The Marconi people say that no mistake was made and that the message was undoubtedly sent by the Manila station, which is about 12,000 miles distant, and that, as a result, experiments with the stations in the east will shortly In- attempted Port Morion, where the Marconi station is located, is the most easterly town in Cape llreton. It is twentyfive miles east of Sydney, Nova Scotia. STUCK TO HIM. Tlie kind of Sw eel hriirt That Is Worth Having. The marriage of Miss Clara Cecilia Leach and John W. Maher, which was solemnized at St. John's church at Worchester. Mass., on Thursday morning was the culmination of a romance out of the ordinary. The hride is one ot' the wealthiest women of Worcester and prominent socially. Mr. Maher is prominently connected with the club, lodge and business life of the city. About four years ago he was sent to jail been use of ascusutions of misappropriation of funds'made against him hv the senior member of the firm with which he was connected, lie was released under a new state law after he had served three and a half yaars of his sentence.

That incalculable benefit will flowto the South from the conference between the spinners of Europe, Great Britain and America and the cotton growers of the South, the concluding day's session of which was held in ; Atlanta on Wednesday, is the opinion of the leading spinners of Europe and the United States, and the prominent ; cotton growers who participated in I the conference. i The bringing of the spinners and j growers face to face to discuss the | details of growing, packing and market ng tlie great money crop of the South will result in closer relations between producer and consumer, situl each better understands the needs of the other, the personal friendship , formed tending to remove that dis! trust and suspicion with which stran' gers usually regard each other. It is believed that the way has been i paved for the establishment of direct I trade relations between the grower (.and spinner, and that the day is not far distant when the spinner will buy direct front the foreign agent of the producer in whose rapidly increasing system of warehouses his cotton will be stored and held. Were no other things accomplished j by tho conference ended Wednesday, i j the South has been advertised in the | newspapers of the world as never be \ fore. , The concluding session of the con- ( | ference on Wednesday was devoted \ to tlie discussion and disposition of the various committee reports, the | following being acted upon: Report of committee' on growing , and handling cot ion: , This report which was adopted, re- , 'commended the careful selection of ; i seed from well matured bolls of the , j type of cotton desired; the housing of cotton for .'10 days before ginning it, , j never ginning it when green or damp. ] land the setting of saws shallow so , that the brushes may takke the cot-:, 'ton front the saws as fast as ginned !, | to prevent kinks or knapping.

A dispatch from Atlanta says imnediate and practical results of the nternatioual Conference of the Coton Growers and Spinners which losed Wednesday dollop*-. 1 Thursiay in a conference hPld by the ex'cutive board of the Farmers' Eduna lonal and Co-operative Union and H. V. Macallster of Manchester. E.igand, one of the chief experts on spinlable grades of cotton, with the Euopean delegation to the late conerence. The object of the conference was o perfect and as speedily as possible o agree upon terms whereby the growers of the union could deal dir>ct with the European consiimers. It was stated by the union's officers hat already the union had arranged o locate an gent in Englnd: that a entral agency had been established n Memphis and that this office will lotlfy the European agency of all rotton ready for sale. Mr. Macalister guaranteed that all :otton offered would be bo light. He xplained. that the cotton offered by he union must conform with the grades sold, and that the baling and ompression must be in accordance vith the terms adopted by the con'erence. This was agreed to. This will result in a great saving to the farmer if carried out. VERY MYSTERIOUS All Ai 11 stranger Shoots Man on Train and Then Leaves. Andrew Green of 618 Manhattan itreet.

There were only three other passengers in the car and the man who Had done the shooting jumped from the train and escaped before the oth*r passengers could realize what had occurred. At the hospital it was found that the bullet struck Mr. Green in the wrist and thigh. The latter wound, while serious is not regared as daneerous. Mr. Green said he knew of no enemies and had no suspicion of the Identity of his assailant. 1 N.lt'ltKI) IX KXPLOSiOX. \ Spark From a Pipe Fell Into Powder Key;.

Johnston and Durdusi were filling I heir powder cans from a keg in the former's home, while one of them was smoking a pipe. A spark of the burning tobacco fell into the keg, tansing the explosion, which completely wrecked the house. The conference also adopted the report of the committee on classification which recommends that standard lypes of classification should be idoptcd either by the United States government or by an association of ielegates from the cotton spinners growers and exchanges, and that, lassification should be on grade and olor alone, and not on staple; that standard contracts of liO.OOft pounds e adopted instead of 100 hales; that ictual tare he .allowed, and tht steps m taken to eliminate excessive damp n cotton, and that the question of lainis. as adjusted upder the present nles of the exchanges, he placed on i more equitahle basis.

LOST OUT WEST. The Disappearance of a Young Man From This State CAUSES UNEASINESS And Enquiries Are IWin^ Made About Him by the Lady He Boarded With at Coventry, Cal., Where Ho Was Working for a Concern?Left His .% #V.? I- ^ ? - .iniui n iiiHiu niui|K' friends Anxious About llim. The Columbia State says a letter has been handed Rev. P. F. Kilgo, pastor of the Washington Street Methodist church, Columbia, containing news of the probable disappearance of a former South Carolinian. From Coventry, Colorado, Mrs. J. H. Jacobs writes to the "minister of a Methodist church. Columbia, South Carolina," and it was thus that Mr. Kilgo came into possession of the letter. Mrs. Jacobs writes as follows: "Can you give me any information concerning one in or around Columbia by name of Stover or Rollings? My reason for writing you concerning this is that, a young man. giving his full name as Evan Rollings Stover of South Carolina, came here April 1 and was given a tine position by the Redlands company, who placed ample confidence in him. After coming her, Air. Stover boarded at my home and won a host of friends who are anxious to learn particulars of his sudden disappearance. "He was a model young man and claimed to be the only child of Mr. and Airs. Jno. Stover, who died a few years ago. leaving him a plantation in South Carolina. He decided to come West this spring and things were left in charge of an uncle, Lewis Rollings, whose farm adjoined his, five miles in the country. "He claimed to be a member of the Methodist church and said his parents were buried in a country church yard. On August 27 he left here on business for Montrose, Col,, and has not been heard of since. He leaves $100 here with the company and several valuable belongings, including a railroad ticket bought from Columbia on March 16. 1907. This was why we thought his home was there. "We feel that this young man must be located. If he has people there they should know of his disappearance. Everything here is straight oh his side, and foul play is suspected. "We would be glad if you would investigate this thoroughly in the city and country and let us hear from you at an early date. "Can you give me the address of a Dr. Elliott or Mr. Cy. Long, living in Columbia." Dr. Kilgo carried this letter to The State, feeling sure that through its circulation, some trace of the young man might be discovered. Dr. Kilgo himself said that he is acquainted with people of the name of Rollings, who are living or have lived n Lancaster county. He knew a Mr. Evan Rollings and thinks that this young man may be a relative of his. This story seems to indicate a very mysterious disappearance and possibly may be the first Intimation the young man's relatives have had of it. WOMAN VICTIM OF CHIME. Dead lUnly of a I Irani iful Woman Found in New York. With the discovery ot a mysterious bout in the case, there remained little doubt thut a woman at that time unidentified, whose body was found lying on the New York Central tracks below the West 118th street and Riverside drive, was the victim of a Kane: that may have killed her at one of the resorts on the other side of the river from New York. The woman was about thirty years old and of medium height. Her hair was dark brown and unusually heavy. Her face had apparently been pretty the mouth regular, and teeth especially good. Her hands were white and without the appearance of having done hard work. She was dressed entirely in black with a black shirt waist, black skirt and black shoes and stockings.

Incidentally he taught "Pepper" a number of clever stunts. When the dog disappeared, the fireman and Mr. Kelly were grieved. Nothing was heard of him for two year. Last week Mr. llagan met the pet, following at the heels of two hunters with several other dogs, llagan told the men that the dog was his. but they would not believe him. "Pepper" had recognized his former master and when commanded to do , some of his old tricks he obeyed. The , men gave Hagan the dog. ( * GETTING SCARCE. Phosphate Rock is Said to Be Hard to Get Yet the Price Shows No Marked Increase.?Some Interesting Figures About the Industry. The State says the fertilizer plant ' of the Vlnginia-Carolina Chemical Company in Columbia, which has been shut down all summer on account of a lack of phosphate rock, will probably not be in operation before the first of November. Some needed repairs are now being made on the plant and it will require at least fifteen days to complete them. , SfiVPrnl vein re ' ,.?aio cur; oiiite OI SOUU1 Carolina derived a handsome income from the royalties received from the operation of its phosphate beds along the coast, hut business has decreased in the past 1 f? years to such an extent that the revenue for the past year is less than one-fourth what it was in 1890. For the years named the State's revenue from this source was as follaws. 1890, $2:17,149.00; 1891, $169,292.68; 1892, $163,270.25. During these years the royalty paid the State was $1.02 and $1.05 per ton. Between the years 1S93 and 1900 inclusive, when the royalty had been reduced to 50 cents per ton. the figures were as follows: 1893, $231,393.12: 1894. $57.S27.13; 1895. $4.566.70; 1896. $62,631.01; 1897, $42,373; 1898. $24,264.31; 1S99, $7,551; 1906. $8,667. The figures for the years 1901 to 190 , inclusive, when the royalty had been reduced to 25 cents per ton. as at present, the revenue was: 1901, $23,108; 1902, $27,291.65; 1903, $16,936.47; 1904. $9,732.01; 1905, $7,551; 906.18.667. So, it will be seen that one of the State government's principal source^ of revenue 16 years ago has gradually dwindled until it can hardly be considered worth while. Several causes have brought about this condition. chief of which it that large fields of vock have been discovered in Florida, Tennessee and Algeria. Another cause was the effects of the disastrous coast storm of 1S93 which almost wiped several of the small towns along the coast off the map, overturned and wrecked the boats and dredges employed in the digging of this phosphate rock, en rawing great losses on the mining companies. Practically the only phosphate mines in the world operated on an extensive basis were those along the South Carolina Coast, hut now both Florida and Tennessee mine more rock than this State. Of the 2.080,957 long tons of phosphate marketed ! in the United States in 1000 (valued , at $8,579,4371 Florida produced 1,304.nor. long tons, valued at $3,585,578: Tennessee produced 547.677 long tons, valued at $2,147,991, and South Carolina's production was 223.675 long tons, valued at $81 7,068. Other States. Including Arkansas, marketed 5,100 tons, valued at $28,800. The use of phosphate rock is limit- j ed to the manufacture of fertilizers; and chemicals containing phosphoricacid. A distinction is made in this State between "land" and "river" rock: hut the two are the same in origin, the "river" rock being simply "land" rock washed out from the | hanks and deposited in depressions in the beds of the streams. il tin* river rocs troni which (he State derives royalties, the "land" rock being mined by companies who own the land in fee simple. This river rock Is fast becoming exhausted and in a few years the State will probably derive no revenue whatever from it. l'SKI> PIN OX PIMPLE And Will Lose 11 is Ann From lllooil Poisoning.

Admiral "Bob" Evans* contingent of nearly 15,000 officers and bluejackets will be a bit shy of desert ou the five months' journey from Hampton Roads to 'Frisco if some one doe* not come forward and offer to sell the navy several thousand cans ofi peaches. Some 200,000 pounds ofi green string beans are also wanted. Of course, there will be both canned! peaches and string beans in the fleet's pantry, but the bids which were opeu-< ed at the navy department showed; that bidders were shy about naming a price on peaches and beans. Altogether, bids were received on. seven try-three out of seventy-six: liases as specified by the department in its advertisement for vegetables, fruits and other provisions for thei Pacille cruise. There were several hundred bids, there being an average of eight or ten bids in each class. The lowest prices, accordingly, appear to be reasonable, although it will require several days to complete thoi compilation. There were six bids to supply 1.- _ 200,000 pound of certain grades ofi jtfHH flour, tin- total prices running from $25,000 to $27,000.
