[THE FORT MILL TIMES VOLUME XVIII FORT MILL, THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1909 ^ NO. 12 | rTHE LUMBER CUT Recovers From the Panic and Is Again on Deck INTERESTING FACTS Of the Buslm-sM That Will Show Where Moat of the Lumber Comes * From and Who Will Bo Benefitted by Tu.v Put ou it by the Tariff. During the year 1908, 31,231 raw mills in the United States manufactured 33,289,369,000 feet of lumber, according to a preliminary report Just issued by the bureau of the ceu?us. These mills also cut 12,106.000 shingles and 2,986,684,000 lath. Lumber manufacturing, like every other industry, felt the effects of the business depression which began |u October, 1007. Consequently the production in 1908 was below that for the previous year. In 1907 the put of 28,850 saw mills was 40,256.154,000 feet, the highest production ever recorded. Notwithstanding, therefore, that in 1908 reports were received from eight per cent more mills than in 1907, the decrease in lumber cut reported by them was 6ltghtly over seventeen per cent. Washington, ns for several years past, still rnnks first among the States in lumber producliou, its cut In 1908 being 2,915,928,000 feet? a decrease of 22.8 per cent over the cut of 1907. Nearly all the lumber manufactured in Washington is Duglas fir, the market for which was seriously affected by the panic. Louisiana second, with 2,722,421.000 feet, a decrease of 250,000,000 feet or 8.4 per cent over the cut in 1907. Louisiana is first In the production of both yellow pine and cypress. Cypress is a particularly useful and valuable wood, and apparently, the manufacturers of it did not suffer as severely from dull times as d'?l the manufacturers of yellow pine and Douglas fir. Mississippi was th? third state in lumber production in 1908, with a total of 1,861,000 feet -?a decrease of eleven per cent from the cut in 1907. Arkansas ranked fourth, with 1,655,991,000 feet?a decrease or nearly seventeen per cent over the previous yenr's output, and Wisconsin fifth, with 1,613,315,000 feet against 2,003,279,000 feet in 1907. In Texas, where the lumber Indus-try is confined almost exclusively to yellow pine, the falling off was very heavy. The total cut of the State in 1908 was 1,524,008,000 feet? a de' crease of 31.6 per cent over the cut in 1907. Klght other States manufactured , more than one billion feet each of lumber Inst year. In the order of importance, they were: Michigan, Ore gon, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Vlr ginla, Alabama, North Carolina and West Virginia. California and maine, other States which reported more than one billion feet each in 1907, went just below that figure in 1908. The totals for a few Stateswore greater in 1908 than in 1907 but thtH was chiefly due to the largei number of reports secured in thos? States in 190S. In Georgia, for instance, a particularly close can vats Increased the number of mills report ed nearly one-third, while the result ing increase in reports of total pro eduction was only six per cent. In Massachusetts, 610 mills* reported i J | cut of 384,526,000 feet in 1908 a 1 compared with a cut of 364,231,00' ^ fi t liv r. 1 9 mills in 1907. In f? | in 1908; while In 1907, 230 mill i cut 13 7,23 9,000 feet. A particularl; large gain Jn njlUlH reported wamnde in Oklahoma. in 1 907, 1 2" mills in thnt State cut 140,015.00 feet, while in 1908, 214 mills ci. 158.756.000 feet. While there aro many very larg saw mills in the United States, th small nuns tar on mum do r me iirn ones, and It Is particularly Interestin to note how many of these smnl mills there are in the States whir' are not now of first rank in lunihe production. The statistics for Nov York were collected by the Forest Fish and Game Commission of th; State and show there are 2.291 mills. In Pennsylvania 2,224 mill? reported to the census, and in Virginia, 1.92 7 mills. In North Carolina reports came from 1,740 mill.-, * and in Kentucky from l,.r?30 mills The number of mills reporting from Tennessee was only forty less than front Kentucky. In West Virginia, Missouri, Ohio and Indiana between 1.000 and 1.100 mills each were en gaged In cutting lumber last year The average output per mill was 250000 feet iu New York, and 5.2fi0.u0't feet in Louisiana, these two States presenting nearly the extremes ol production by small and large mill? Yellow pine, Douglas fir. white pine. oak. hemlock and spruce, In the order named, were the woods cut into lumber in the largest quantity Yellow pine has ranked first sine, it surpassed white pine in the later nineties. and it is still far in the lead. More recently, white pine has also been superseeded by Douglas fir. so that now it occupier third place. Wai-hingtou has been the prlncpal shingle producing State since the usf of red redar shingles became general. ?nd it'BUpplied three-fourths of the SPREADS TYPHOID HUCH IS THE CHARGE MADE AGAINST MARY MALLON Who Is Confined to a Cottage and Not Allont'd to As^iOctate With An)* One. In Mary Million the New York health authorities have uu unuBual prisoner on their hands. "Typhoid Mary." as she is known, because of her alleged habit of communicating the fever to others, although immune herself. Is a prisoner in a small cottage which she occupies all by herself on North Drother Island, where contagious diseases are treated. She is now seeking her freedom through the courts. About two years ago, when Miss Mallon was a cook in the family of J. Clayton Drayton, the butler and two maids suffered from typhoid fever and in investigating the case the health inspectors reported that Miss Mallon, although, herself tmmuno, had spread the disease to the other servants. Following her ease fnrth er back they declared that typhoid fever had appeared at nearly every place in which Bhe had lived. On this evidence the woman was seized and sent to North Brother Island. where she has since remained in the strictest isolation, although not at all ill. Her meals have been passed through a window of her cottage to her and she is permitted to associate with no one. Miss Mallon. through her attorney, declares that she does not communicate typhoid fever and that her case is somewhat similar to that of John A. Early, whom the Washington authorities have isolated under suspicion of being a leper. ADOPTED IX KANSAS. Bryan's Guarantee Law Endorsed by Republicans. The bank guarantee law originated by Bryan and first adopted in Oklahoma has been put in effect in Kansas by act of a Republican legislature. While the law will effect only such banks as elect to comply with it. it is expected that all of the 7 77 States banks in Kansas will place themselves under its provisions without delay. The banks under the new law are to be partners in a sort of mutual inniranee company. They will have to put up a million dollars in State and national securities to guarantee the payment of deposits, and the dues or Insurance premiums will be only onetwentieth of one per cent annunlly. In self-defence the national banks have started a movement to organize \n insurance company among them selves to insure deposits in their banks. Eventually, however, it is expected that many of the national banks, especially those in the smaller owns will decde to denationalize and become State institutions in order to participate in the guaranty law.

ASSASIN CAPTURED An "At-Hoine'' Kvcnlug fur Indfiu Students Drought to a Sudden Ter nilnatiou by n Terrible Tragedy V Which Seonm to Have Ileoti Fre meditated. A dispatch from London says ? startling double assassination of ? political character occurred latt Thursday night towards the conclusion of a public gathering at the Im orial Institute. An Indian student whose name is not known, shot and killed Lieut. Col. Sir Win. Hutt Curzon Wyllie and Dr. Calas Lalcaca, of Shanghai. Wylie, who had held important Indian appointments, fell dead or the spot. Dr. Lalcaca showed sign* of life after he fell and was hurried to St. George's hospital but on arrival there it was found that he was deud. Those near the assassin seized and held him until the arrival of the police. He hud two revolvers, a dagger and a knife. All were new, and it is believed the crime was premeditated. The gathering a? the Imperial Institute. a building devoted to Indian and other colonial functions, was an "at home" to Indian students. I). \V. Thorburu, one of the guests, thus graphically describes the scene attending the murder: "It was near 11 o'clock, and the musical program was just concluding when I saw a middle aged English gentleman conversing with a young Indian student dressed in a dark jacket and wearing a pale blue turban. "Suddenly the native drew a revolver and tired four shots with the greatest rapidity full at the head of the Englishman. The shots were tired with the muzzle of the weapon close to the victim's face. "Then came another shot as the Englishman fell and a sixth which struck an elderly Indian gentlemun standing a few yards off and who fell, shot in the side. "I rushed at the assassin, and others sprang forward at the sumo time. We peized him but he struggled, and wresting one hand free, placed the revolver to his forehead and pulled the trigger. It clicked harmlessly, as he had fired all of his shots. "We shouted for doctors and the police. Meantime there was a terrible scene and a commotion and the folding doors woro finally closed to prevent the people from looking on the fearful sight. "A doctor in th? hall finally cumo forward and knelt at the side of the Englishman. After an examination he said 'nothing can be done for him.' "At this moment aomo ono >* claimed in u horror-stricken voice 'why it is Curzon Wyilie,' then a stately woman in evening dress came upstairs from the cloak room to discover what had happened. Looking at the recumbent figure and not immediately recognizing it. she said: " 'Poor fellow.' She then knell down and as she looked closely al the disfigured face a look of hovroi leaped into her eyes and she exclaimed : " 'It is mv husband; why wasn't 1 with hint?' "It was Lady Wyilie who had lef her husband only a few minutes be fore "Other doctors came hut the: could find no wound on Laloaca'i body until the clothing was removed when a tiny stream of blood fron the side revealed the position of th< injury. Screens were placed nrount the victims and the awe-stricken peo pie quickly left the hall." The victims were placed in ambu lances and removed to a hospital Detectives searched the assassin.

[ spirit guides man REMARKAULti STORY OK GOLI> 1 SMITH WHO Tl'RXS PAINTER. Willow Shows Sketches That Iinwi to Investigation?Psychical lie. search Experts Tell of Results. j Tho strange story of the spirit ol a dead artist taking possession of tb.i mind of a living man and lmpelltn; , him to carry ou tho artist's unfinished work is related by Prof. James H. Hyslop, secretary of the American Society for Psychical Research, of New York, who in connection with 1 Prof. Isaac K. Funk, recently came 1 to the conclusion that the spirit of man lives after his body is dead. Robert Swain Gifford, the artist. " died in 1905 at his summer home near New Bedford, Mass. Freder' ick Li. Thompson, a goldsmith, had met Mr. GifTord only twice and knew him but slightly. Thompson had never indicated any ability as an artist until six months after the 1 death of Gilford, when he did not 1 even know thnt Mr. Gifford had died. He was suddenly seized with an impulse to paint a picture, and going to work on it, he was surprised at his ability. While he was painting the voice of Mr. Gifford seemed to tell him to continue his work he had started. Mr. Thompson continued painting pictures, always .possessed by the spirit of Mr. Gifford. and found a ready market for them. Many purchasers commented on their similarity to Mr. Gifford's paintings. * Fearing that his mind was giving away In 1907, Mr. Thompson called on Prof. Hyslop. Fly arrangement he made several sketches for pictures at the instance of what he considered to be Gifford's spirit. Prof. Hyslop looked these up in a safe and then Thompson went to New lied ford and called on Gifford's widow, where he had never been and whom he had never met. One of the first things Mrs. Gifford showed him was a sketch which Mr. Gifford had made a short time before his death anil which had been locked up and seen by no one until a few days ago. when Thompson called. The sketch was exactly similar in every detail to one of the sketches Thompson had left with Prof. Hyslop. This fact and other equaly surprising features in the case prompt Prof. Hyslop to even a strongor belief that the spirit lives after death and that the artist Gifford's spirit is in communication with this world through the medium of the goldsmith Thompson.

ANOTHER QUAKE Messina Again Visited by Severe Seismic Tremors. WALLS DESTROYED The Residents Thrown Into a State of Terror, but it is Believed That Only Two I'eraons Were Killed, i 1 Broken Walls Full und Dust Cloud K n v el opes the City. Messina exi>erienced two terrific , , earthquakes about 7:30 o'clock Thursday morning, which were accompanied by roaring sounds and are said to have had a stronger and more , mutlllntorv mnvdmunt thnn thi, n.i-O. quake of last December, which destroyed Messina, Keggto und other cities, laid waste many villages in Calabria and killed 200.000 people. Although the shocks bad no such terrible consequences, the 25,000 residents of that city were thrown into a state of terror. They ran into the streets panic-stricken and nearly the entire populatlou is encamped in the open. The broken walls of the old ruins were thrown to the ground and Messina was for a few minutes smothered in a cloud of dust. The casualties were few. and the only persons killed so far as is known were a young woman and her infant. The woman had gone there only a few days ago and had settled in rooms which the great earthquake had left relatively undamaged. She was standing at the door when the shock occurred and rushed inside to save hur child. Before she could escape from the room the second shock threw down the walls, burying both mother and child under the debris. Soldiers and engineers who rushed to the rescue heard the voice of the mother calling for help, and they worked heroically for several hours, when they found the dead bodies, the mother with her child in her arms. The first shock was followed quickly by a second, and the people fled pell-mell to tho American quarter, which they seemed to bed was their safest place of refuge. So great woh the rush to the American huts that the authorities were unable to check the invasion and as a consequence these structures which were designed for tho most needy of the populace were taken possession of by tho first comers. The police, however, drew a cordon around this quarter and a guard was mounted at the bridge leading to it. Many of the panicstricken people were driven off and orders were issued that no one he permitted to occupy the American quarters pending further Instructions. Regglo suffered almost as severe a shock as Messina. 1 LYNCHED IN GUATEMALA.

EQUANIMITY JARRED EXPRESSMAN' CAUSES CHINAMAN TO HAVE BRAIN STORM. Former Rooin Mn(o of Alleged Slayer of Elsie Slgel Confronted by Witness. A dispatch from New York says the complacency of Chung Sin. once the room mate of Leon Ling, who Is wanted for the murder of Eleio SLgel, on June 9, went all to pieces Wednesday afternoon, when Arthur Logan, an expressman, walked into the cell where Chung Sin is held as more than n material witness, and brusquely shouted " Hullo." Logan is the man who carried the truuk containing the body of the girl down-stairs from Leon's room on the day of the murder. He had told the police that Chung Sin 1h one of the men he saw 011 the top lloor of the house. Chung Sin, 011 the contrary, has sworn by all his incestors that he never saw the trunk packed or moved. "You are the man," Logan said in "hung Sin's presence, "who told me :o take the trunk down-stairs cnreully. There was another slim felow with you in the room?the same hat came over to the office half an lour before to give me the order to all for the trunk." "All mistake," protested Chung 3in, "never see you before." The Chinaman's voice broke, and ie shook as in fear as Logan was ed out, still positive in his identification.

LEON LING'S BODY Although Complete 1 dent illcnt ion Was Impossible Thursday Night in | Salient Features the Body Bear* a Marked Iiesemblance to the Mivs ing Chinaman. A dispatch from ?ew York Thursday says, although complete Identification was impossible, there appeared to be a strong probability that the body of a Chinaman, which was found boating In the Hudson River in the upper part of the city, was that of Leon Ling, or William L. Leon, the murderer of Kleie Sigcl. The man's height, weight and general appearance tallies with that of Leon Ling, but as the body wa? nude, except for a silk undershirt, and had been In the water for more than a week, a thorough examination will be necessary. Coroner McFonald, who was the first to inspect the body, believes that It la Leon's as <lo u number of policemen, but until measurements and facial characteristics are carefully gone over the identification will remaiu in doubt. If it is I.con the cause of his death will be another mystery, although one theory, that of suicide, would appear reasonable. In salient features the body bore a marked re.-emblance to Leon Ling. The teeth were good, as were Leon's; the height about five feet, four inches, which was Leon's height, and the weight 12f> pounds, which was ubout Leon's. The age appeared to bo about twenty-five or thirty years. Leon's age was given out by tlio police as thirty. An autopsy will bo performed. The coroner's jury was unable to arrive at a conclusion as to how the Chlnninan met his death. Early Thursday morning Ung Yow, an inconspicuous, hard working Chinese laundry man of the East Side, was found by his neighbors strung between two wash tubs with his head beneath the water of one and his feet in the other. There were bloody finger marks oti bis neck, bloody footprints on the floor and a knotted cord about the man's neck. In the cash drawer tho police found one cent. All attempts to connect the murder of Ung Yow with the murder of Elsie Slgel by Leon Ling have failed. Investigation soon showed that Ung Yow was beaten over the head with flat irons, probably by more than one man, and then flung in the ?uhs. He probably died by drowning vhile unconscious. CIIIX KSK 1>KI.I V KURIL Out law Is Making Much Trouble For the French. French colonial authorities In Upper Tonquin, China, are having no end of trouble In their efTorts to check the onslaughts of De Tham, a notorious outlaw, and his followers. From private advices the government is informed that for humanitarian and political reasons the officials ar? unable to adopt the necessary sharp and ruthless measures which the forays against villages favoring French rule seem to demand. De Tham's fanatical followers have now spread the report that ho Is the divinely appointed deliverer of the Chineso from the French. His men are armed with rifles while the natives defend themselves only with sharpened sticks. Chinese who are favorable to the French, when caught by the outlaws, are enrried to the forest, tied to trees and there loft to die, after their tongues have been mutilated. Do Tham appears to be guarded by a special providence. He has never been captured, although at times ho could touch the French soldiers as they pased his hiding place. On one occasion they pressed so close that the intrepid outlaw killed his wife and child to make certain his escape. Frequently he has sent members of his band to parley for surrender while ho and the rest have wormed their way out of a tight place to their stronghold in the hills. ni'KOLAH KILLS POLICKMAV (ought in \rt of Forcing Entrance to Store?Shots Exchanged.
