50 THOUSAND NKGROKS GONE.
Large Acreage Abandoned, Crops
Kate and Poor, Saya Report.
?
Clemson College, June 18. 60,000
negrdos migrated since Nov. 1, 1022,
from 41 O^mties reporting figures;
0,324 ono-horse farms abandoned in
22 counties reporting figures;
acres in cotton abandoned since March
31, 1023, in U counties reporting fig
ures; and ^600 acreB of corn ab*n"
doned in 9 counties reporting; the pre
sent cotton condition reported as
poor in 26 counties and medium in
10, and the present com condition re
ported poor in 9 counties and medium
in 21. , '
The above in brief is tho answer tw
a 'recent inquiry sent out by the Lx
ten&ion Sjjryle* to every county in the
wtate. To secure thw information
Director W. W. Long, at the request
of many citizens, sent out the follow
ing telegram to county .agents and
(iin those counties without agents) in
fluential citizens.
"Please confer with leading farm
ers, bankers, and merchants and give
us the following information:; First,
approximate migration of negroes
from your county since November I,
1022, expressed in number and per
centage of negro population; second,
number of farms abandoned fmce
November 1..1922, this to include ten
ants as well as land owners; third,
number of acres of cotton, Corn, and
tobacco abandoned ?ince crops were
pitched March 1, 1023; fourth, brief
Htatemenfas to -condition of cotton.
Corn, and tobacco at present time ex
pressed as medium, poor, good; fifth,
please read this telegram with great
care and act promptly. _ ...
Among the counties reporting, the
average number of negro migrants
per county was 1217, the #verage
number of farms abandoned per coun
ty, was 423; and the average cotton
acreage abandoned per county was
1051. . * .
Counties reporting the biggest mi
gration are McCormick 3600, Newber
ry 3500, Orangeburg 3500, Aiken
2000, Bamberg 2500, Greenwood 2440,
Cherokee 200, Laurens, 2,000, Calhoun
2000.
*By far the biggest number of faims
abandoned was in McCormick 2,500,
followed by 1,000 in Laurens, 800 m
Lexington, 700 in Anderson, 600 in
Clarendon, and on down.
? The biggest cotton acreage aban
doned has been in Anderson 7,000, fol
lowed by Marlboro 2,000,. McCormick
1,876, Newberry 1,000, fcichland 800,
Cherokee 600, Sumter 500.
. "It will be observed" says Director
Long in commenting upon these facts
and figures, "that forty-one counties
teported, leaving Ave counties that
have failed to answer. Inasmuch as
the crop is from three weeks to a
month late ig a large part of the
state, the scarcity of labor, and the
leaching from the Soil of the fertili
zers by continuous rains, the broken
stands and the presence of the weevil
in large numbers throughout the state
unusually favorable conditions from
now on will be necessary to make a
normal crop. It will be wise for us
to begin to prepare for a short crop
by putting all the stubble lands in
forage crops, such as cowpeas, or
soy beans, and later on vetch and
oats, crimson clover, Abruzzi rye, an
by all means, the seeding of a large
acreage in oats and wheat.
"The man who has his barn filled
with forage, his crib filled with corn,
and his meat house filled with meat,
this fall, even though be cannot pay
his debts, will be in a position to re
ceive more favorable consideration
from his bank than the man who has
failed to exercise this forethought.
All of this is preparedness!"

The hearing on the rule to show
cause will be held in the Governor's
office at 12 o'clock, noon, June 28, the

quired under the, governor's order to

have been filed with the governor
against the two men, "these charges
appearing in the form of information
concerning your intoxication or
drunkenness, and having in your pos
session certain intoxicating liquors."

t hr State against John IJni ln'M, in
dicted for tne murder of Federal Pro
hibition Officer J. Leroy Youmans, .
was started thin morning and con
sumed the entire day, going to thu
jury just before nightfall. The killing
of Officer Youmans took place in the
POiyl Hollow section of the county
during March. *
Ira U. Fields, chief of police at 1/n
raar, J. C. Parnell, constable at La
mar, W. H. Segars, rural policeman
and K. Ji< Scarborough, rural police
man, that was in the raiding party
when Officer Youmans was Killed,
wore the first witnesses for the stat.*.
They were followed by l>r. K. Heck
man of llartsvjlle and Dr. .1. \\\ NVil
box of Darlington.
These witnesses examined the body
of Officer Youmans and- described
the wound. Dr. Wilcox testified- tUat
death was caused by a hemmorage
that was the result of the wound. The
wound was inflicted by a .45 caliber
steel jflckut bullet and the bullet en
tered in the side near the hip.
Kussell Parker, a white man, and
Silas Hawkins, a negro, who were at
the still when the killing took place,
testified for the state and both wit
nesses stated that Harfield fired the
fatal shot. They admitted that they
were making whiskey at the time.
Maj. J. P. E. Meyer, United States
district attorney, also testified for
the state and was the star witness. He
was in the neighborhood when Bar
fleid was captured and. told of a con
fosion that Ha rfield made him. Majoi . t
Meyer had charge of the investiga
tion after federal officers from Wash
ington and Atlanta were sent here
immediately after the killing.
The first witness for the defense
was S. 0. Sims, an officer at Flor
ence. Het/\vas followed by It. J. Yar-'
j borough, a prominent citizen of Ker
shaw county, who holds the position
of toad supervisor. He along with
Policeman Jones of Bethune and T. H.
Copeland also * of Bethune, brought
Barfleld to Bethune^ after finding him
in a neafby pasture. Mr. Yarborough ?
and Mr. Copeland testified as to what
took place while the defendant was
receiving medical attention at Be
thune. Dr. Humphries of Bethune
testified about the giving of th^ med
ical attention, as he treated the de
fendant when he was brought in. Dr.
Humphries stated that the mental (
ability of the defendant at the time/,
was such that he could ? not have
known what he was talking about
when he made the cdfafesslon. ^
A motion was made at this time to
strike the. testimony concerning the
confession from the record, but Judge
Dennis overruled the motion. Major
?Kelly then testified that he knew that
both ~Barfield and Parker who were
at the still, had A 45 caliber pistol.
.Barfield, who is a rather nice look
ing young chap, well built' and making
a very good appearance, then took the
stand in his own defense and testified
that he was only 20 years old, that.hfe
real name was Loyd Harrison
that he used the name John Barfield
so that his mother, an invalid who
lives in south Georgia, would not
know who it was. He sr.id that he
came here from Georgia for the pur- .
pose of making whiskey and that he
had learned how to make it while liv
ing in Georgia. He told all alx>ut his
flight and the shooting that occurred
the night that Officer Youmans -was
killed, saying that Parker fired the _
fatal shot. He explained the fact that
his pistol had been fired twice by
saying. that he fell while running and
that the gun fired once when he fe.T
and once when he arose. He admitted
that the cap, coat and gun found
near the still were his. H^ was una
ble to remember making' the confes
sion related by Major Meyor nor was
he able to recognize the men that took
him in charge.
Ex-Senator Frank A. Miller assist
ed Solicitor J. Monroe Spears with the
1 prosecution, while Attorneys A. L.
King of Florence and T. C. Cork of
the local bar, conducted the defense.
