Shortly after the got away from Hardeevllle and U had gotten out of sight, It •topped. He was surprised to see this, as It had no signal to stop at that point. Just about that time the sec ond section of the train arrived from Savannah and McRoy advised the crew to go ahead and And out what the trouble was with the first section. Arriving at the spot where the first Motion had stopped, the train crew found the utmost confusion reigning. The robbers, two In number, had forced the engineer to stop his train, and, covering the flagman and the conductor with pistols, they made the flagman open the mall car, after It had bain detached from the train and run eome distance. Here two mall elerka were fopnd at work and they made to give pp two bags of V teflletsrsfl mall. The robbers then '/ made their eacape. As quickly as poeetble, Savannah was notified of the robbery and a special trsin, con *• listing of an engine and two cars, with several Coast Line officials and 'detectives, was en route to the ecene within an hour. fldThe speslel was In charge of Engl neer L.

The wreck delayed the arrival •f the offlelale and the detective* for earns tf me and they did not reach the eoene of the robbery until several hours after It bid occurred. The rob bers, It la believed, boarded the train at Hardeevllle, as the dispatcher thinks he saw two suspicious looking ehnracters get aboard at that point. ’> He thinks they got between the two front coaches and from there made their way to the Under and to the engine. The train that was held up Was la charge of Engineer J. E. Kar ris of Charleston, Conductor Damon Of Florence ahd Fireman Abe Wll- Himi, colored.

J. Watson,- President of he Southeru Cotton Congress. Com missioner Watson further said: “In addition to the members of the executive committee I will specially request each State Farmers’ Union president to be present with the com-; m It tee or to be represented by some delegate acting for him, and I will make a special request of the gov ernor of each State and the commis sioner of agriculture of each State o be present In person or by repre sentatives.

This will not be a miscellaneously at tended conference, but a purely busi ness meeting of a small body of men thoroughly representative, and with the Interests of the South at heart. For some weeks I have been working upon these lines, and believe that I have secured sufficient assurance for the financing of this undertaking which unquestionably,holds the key o next year’s situation.” ■ V ( - ' NKttRO IXUKaK MEN AKHEHTED They Are Charge*! With Burning a Karmer'e Barn. ^ -1 M tor* was alt It was on v r A dispatch from Abbeville to the Greenville News says for a time Mon day morning there waa considerable excitement In Abbeville and threats of lynching four negroes who had been put in jail, charged with burning a barn belonging to a farmer by the name of Bradbury, together with four fine mules and the contents of the barn. Incendiarism was suspect ed, and some of Mr. Bradbury’s sons stayed up to watch for developments. In a abort while a negro boy came stealing up and when he saw the white boys he ran away, but he waa followed and caught. He confessed that he was one of four negroes who set fire to the barn and that they were appointed by a lodge of which they were members to Are the barn and also the residence of Mr. Brad bury, and that he was returning to fire the house when he was captured. He said that he was compelled by the other three to go with them to fire the barn, and that he was threatened With death tf he told on them. The whole trouble started about the removal of % a lodge room off some land which Mr. Bradbury owned. The negroes did not want to move, and sought revenge in the torch. A mes sage was sent the governor Tuesday morning asking a speedy trial for the four negroes, and it is probable that a number of other arrests will fol low. Feeling is intense against the negroes under arrest, aod there might be an outbreak at any time unless there is a speedy trial. 1 •-*-* TWO MULES AYE HE DROWNED. Animals and Wagon Went Down Flat Chain Broke. A dispatch from Lexington to The State says two mules were drowned In the Saluda, river at Dreher's ferry fate Saturday afternoon when ah at tempt was made to cross on a flat operated by the county. The mules were hitched to a wagon loaded with brick, and as the driver started to enter the flat a link In the chain broke and the flat went out from under the team and all went down together. The wagon was later re covered. One of the mules belonged to John J. Dreher, the other to Thomas Shuler. Mr. Dreher’s mule waa valued at |250, and IMr. Shuler’s at $150. No one seems to be directly reaponaUde for the accident, the only reason assigned being the defective link In the chain. FOUR MULES ARE GONE. They Mysteriously Disappear From • Camp Saturday.

The total production of cotton in the United States for the season of 1911-’12 will amount to f,121,713,- 000 pounds (not Including linters), of 14.885,000 bales Of 600 pounds, gross weight, according to the first official estimate of the size of the crop issued at 2 p. m. Tuesday by the crop reporting board of the United States department of agriculture and made up from reports of the corre spondents and agents of the bureau of statistics throughout the cotton belt. Heretofore the record cotton crop was that of the year 1904, when 13,- 438,012 bales, exclusive of linters, Avere grown. Other large crops were those of 1906, which was 13,273,809 bales, and 1908, whan. 18.24JL799 bales were grown. In point of value, however, the crop of 1910, which was 11,608,616 bales, exclusive of linters, was the record one, the fibre being valued at $820,320,000 and the cotton seed at $1 42,860,000. a total of $963,180,000 as the aggregate val ue of the cotton crop of that year. 'Conditions early ,ln the growing season this year led to the belief that the crop would be one of record pro portions. First estimates or tbe yields, based on tbe condition figures, placed the probable production well toward the figures of the biggest crop heretofore grown. The acreage on which cotton was planted this season was estimated by the department of agriculture to be 35,004,000 acres, a greater area than ever before planted to cotton In this country. This vast area exceeded the previous record of acreage by more than 2,500,000 acres, there having been planted 32,- 444,000 acres In 1908 and 32,403,000 acre* last year. In the record pro duction year of 1 904 only 30,053,793 acres were planted. Scorching hot and excessively dry weather during-the middle of the summer caused considerable damage to cotton In many parts of the cotton belt. Later In the season weather conditions were dlrtlnctly favorable In most parts of the belt and the crop Improved. The hot weather and drought, however, were responsible for a smaller yield this year than ex perts early In the season predicted as a result of the record acreage and splendid growing conditions than pre vailing. One result of the hot weath er waa that the crop matured about two weeks earlier than usual. Tbe estimated production by States, In 500-pound bales, exclusive of lln- ■ THEY WILL WIN Ovtlnk Brifht fir Dcwcrtli if TWy kitfl Progressive PUlftiv, tee a Long Ran, One Unseal Was Shot, .Captured, But the Other Mada JUs Escape. *. * With e severe flesh wound In the left leg, just below the knee, caused by a pistol ball from the weapon of one of hla captors. Flux Suber, a negro, was lodged in the Lexington Jail Friday night. According to the story told by the officers, Suber and Oscar Cook, another negro, entered the store of P. H. Stallings, th.» well- known dry goods merchant of Brook- land, Friday afternoon about 2:3d o’clock, and proceeded to take pos session of the store, when they found that only one clerk was In the store at the time—a young girl. While one of the negroes was pre tending to look at somo socks the other picked up a half dozen pairs of pants, the best quality that was In the shop. When the negro who was looking at the socks was told by the young lady clerk that she could not make the proper change to complete the purchase, he said that was all right he would take tao pair, thus saving her the trouble to secure th’e change. At one time the young woman, who was very much frightened, attempted to leave the store to report the oc currence to the next door, but was met at the door by one of the ne groes who had a drawn knife. Fin ally, however, the negroes rushed out, one of them carrying the hunch of pants, and the clerk at oace re ported what had happened. In a very sh<yt while, it is said, a large posse was in pursuit, anil so hot became the chase that the pants were dropped by one of the culprits. Af ter a long chase across hill and dale the men in pursuit came upon Suber, who was commanded to halt. Instead of stopping the fugitive is said to have gotten faster and faster, and It was necessary to shoot him in the leg to effect his capture. Cook man aged to escape. • Suber was carried back to Brook- land, where his injuries were looked after by Dr. Geiger. Suber had been off the gang only a short while, hav ing completed a sentence for larceny. For a while there was Intense excite ment In the little town, and it looked like the negroes were in danger of being summarily dealt with for their dastardly attempts.
