H. McRoy, the night operator

i that the train reached his station in
condition and he gave It the
to go ahead. 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

with several Coast Line officials and
'detectives, was en route to the ecene
within an hour.
fldThe speslel was In charge of Engl

at Hardeevllle, as the dispatcher
thinks he saw two suspicious looking

Individual farmers from one end of
the cotton belt to another, and in

The above announcement was made

missioner Watson further said:
“In addition to the members of the
executive committee I will specially

This will not be a miscellaneously at

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

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.

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.

ROBBED A STORE WHERE LITTLE

t
All But Four of the Cotton-Growing
States Establish New Production
Records—Figures for South Caro
lina Indicate Crop of Nearly Mil
lion and Half Bales.
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.

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.

WIFE’S DREAM SAVED HIM.
True Story About the Brlceville Mine
Explosion.
The New York World says many
Democrats of high standing In po
litical jife all over the country have
within the last few days answered
for The World these questions:
‘‘What are the prospects of the
success of your paity candidate foi
the presidency If existing condition?
continue as at present?
‘‘Who in your estimation should
be the candidate of the national con
vention of your party In order to en
list the support of the majority of
voters in your state.
‘‘What, in your judgment, should
be the issues upon which your party
should make Its appeal to the voters
of your state for their support?
‘‘Do you believe that a ‘conserva
tive’ or a ‘progressive’ policy would
best contribute to the success of your
party?
“The answers show that Demo^
crats everywhere are eager for the
campaign, sure of their issues, and
wholesomely confident of success.
The World herewith presents them
succinctly:
“The tariff reform, said everyone,
Is the paramount issue.
“Progressive, rather than a con
servative policy was in the platform
of the majority.
“Where choice of candidates was
given it was singular to note that
Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, and Governor Judscn Har
mon, of Ohio, ran even, with Champ
Clark a good second: Representative
Oscar W. Underwood and Governor
Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, next
and scattering mention made of Sen
ator John W. Kern, Governor Jos
eph W. Folk, of Missouri; Governor
John Burke, of North Dakota; Gov
ernor Eugenie N. Foss, of Massa

“Any good progressive Democrat,
was the answer of a surprisingly
large number.

“Woodrow Wilson was the first

Cross Mountain mine, In which there
was an explosion Saturday, believes
he owee his life to a dream his wife
had Friday night. When he awoke
Saturday morning and prepared te
go to his dally task in the mine, Mrs.
Larue told him she would not prepare
dinner for him to carry to th emlnes,
as she did not want him to work that
day.
She then recited a dream she had.
giving this as her reason for asking
|iat her husband stay out of the mine.
Mrs. Larue said that Friday night she
dreamed she saw scores of miners,
with their heads blown off, being car
ried out of the mine entrance; that
she and her little children (and she
has several) stood at the mine's
mouth, watching the horrible sight.
Despite the fact that he had not
missed a day from his work for many
months, he was prevailed upon Sat
urday to remain out of the mines. It
was only a short time after Mrs.
Larue told of her dream until the
explosion was announced. With tears
of joy streaming d-own her lace, she
embraced her husband and thanked
God that she had had the dream Fri
day night.

Queer Story About Elloree and Lone

The St. Matthews correspondent of
The News and Courier savs “late
Sunday afternoon Sheriff Rast
rought Jake Amaker, colored, hand
cuffed, from the Elloree section and
lodged him in jail. The negro had a
coat, cut in one place and much be-
prinkled with shot, which he brought
rom Columbia. Investigation appar
ently revealed the fact that three
