OF WARREN’S DEATH DIRIGIBLE ENDS ROUND TRIP ATLANTIC VOYAGE Version of Saluda Shooting Does Not Agree With Published Report. Saluda, July 11.—The scene of the killing of Joseph M. Warren near Batesburg was visited this week by Sheriff Sample, M. H, Puffie, magis trate, and J. E. Smith, foreman of the grand jury. It will be remembered Warren was killed by revenue officers last week and one of the officers, J. G. Fanning, was wounded. According to the published account said to come from the revenue offi cers, Fanning, accompanied by T. 0. Coleman and C. Rector, visited the Warren home and explained their mis sion. They were invited into the home to conduct a search for a still. The officers are alleged to have lo cated an outfit except the cap. War ren was placed under arrest and a member of the family told the officers where the cap could be found. War ren, is is said, mad* some pretext to go to his room. Rector noticed the man as he advanced toward a window and hollered, “Look out.” Fanning was close to the window and pitched to the ground when a pistol shot rang out.

Return Trip From America to Eng land Completed in 75 Hours. Pulhom, Norfolk, Eng., July 13 (By the Associated Press).—Great Brit ain’s mammoth trans-Atlantic air pioneer, the dirigible R-34, arrived here at 6:56 o’clock, Greenwich mean time, today, completing her round trip from the British Isles to the United States and return. The R-34 poked her nose out of the clouds northeast of the village and, after circling the flying fields three times, glided gently to the ground and ten minute* later was housed in the dirigible Hied. The voyage from Long Island was without particular incident and was completed in approx imately 75 hours. Shouts from those on the field greeted the first sight of the long gray body low on the horison. As the R-34 approached the field, she dropped from s height of 5,000 feet to 2,000 feet The men who were to aid the airship in landing were ordered to posi tions and waited silently as the ship COTTON SHOULD BRING — 75 CENTS PER POUND j # Supply and Demand, Cost of Production and Comparative Value With Oth er Commodities—Minimum Price at Which Cotton Will Be Sold and Total Acreage for 1920 to Be Fixed.

They claim that the only shot from Warren's re volver wste after he was shot down when one of the officers ran up and took his (Warren’s) pistol and shot him through the chest. It is claimed that after and before the killing the revenue officers terrified the family with threats and cursing. It is said Warren bore a good repu tation in his community as being a quiet, law abiding citizen and that his neighbors who had lived near him for years do n.t believe he was operat ing a still, but that he was killed, without firing a shot, by the revenue officers. It is not believed that War ren shot Fanning, but that the latter was shot by a bullet from one of his own pistols. It is possible some in teresting facts will develop at the in quest.

Dr. Hunter took charge of the All weevil situ ation soon after this pest crossed the Rio Grande in 1892 and he has sAyed with the work ever since and through CORN AND COTTON CROPS INJURED BY HAIL STOBM Considerable Damage Done A Grow ing Crops ta This Section. * A wind and rain storm, accompaniod by hail, which passed over Barnwell and the section of country to the SouA Monday afternoon, did considerable damage to the growing crops of corn and cotton. Estimates of the damage, which was spotted, run as high as 59 per cent, to total loss. The principal sufferers near Barnwell were J. E. Harley, Residell Long, H. R. Morris, A. D. Connor, N. G. W. Walker and J. 0. Patterpon, their farms being in An path of the hail storm. Some All fell in the town of Barnwell but not enough to do any damage. However, the wind uprooted a few trees and broke limbs on others, which fell on electric light wires and kept the line men busy, for a short while Tuesday morning.

House advocates of the repeal said tonight that no further effort would be made at this session, j>erhaps not in this Congress which continues in ex istence until March, 1921 to wipe out the act.

Mrs. Cole is returning to ^Aumbta, where she has made hsr during Major Cole’s absence, a visit to Nsw York City..* Major wA was woandad while Comptroller General Made Annual Settlement Here Last Week. ■ »■ When Comptroller General Rut. L. Osborne and his assistant, Mr. Jack- son, of Columbia, made their annual settlement with Treasurer J. B. Arm- / strong and Auditor R. W. Riley last week they found the books of the county in their usual excellent order. In fact, everything was in such perfect condition that* the Comptroller Gen eral was led to remark that the work of the Treasurer and Auditor is "Ae best in Ac State.” Messrs. Osborne cotton far ta vxcras of A* amount consumed during Ac present year. Important: In the above estimate we have shown Ae government eet- mste as to the production of cotton amounting to approximately 10.960. 000 bales. WiA information Afore us as to Ae abandonment of acreage wc find as a result of s very careful investigation and recheck that the abandonment is 8V4 per cent. The government condition report was the lowest in 14 years. With information Afore us as to acreage and condition, we consider a crop of 10,000,000 Ales a liberal estimate, and taking this from Ae government estimate, shows a difference of 960,000 bales. Adding this amount A the above shortage in supply of 7,340,000 bales, make a to tal shortage before the 1920 crop be comes available of 8,300,000 bales. Concerning the visible supply of cotton shown a Ave, which enters fi nally into surplus, it is Ae unanimous opinion of our experts that the visible supply of cottbn would be enormously decreased by an actual count. This, of,course, is caused by unspinnable cotton, and also by rotten cotton due to enormous amount of cotton Aing exposed, entirely unprotected, during the past wet winter as a result of the acute laAr situation and - congested conditions. It is estimated that the increase from these conditions will amount to around 750,000 Ales. This added to the shortage of 8,300,000 Ales as shown sAve, will make a to- A far a ton crap.
