Anniston, Ala., November 8.?In a fight at Edwardsville last night T Vonorhon rnllppp student, shot Mfp.5 d&UlCa > auguuui ? , and instantly killed Jackson Barker and -wounded Elber Jones and Bart $,V McCormick. Jones' wound may make ' amputation of the right arm necessary. McCormick suffered only a v slight wound. Barker was shot through the heart three times. Imv mediately after the shooting Vaughan was placed on a train and brought to v Anniston, where he was placed in jail ? '- for safe keeping. Feeling was high in Edwardsville and it was thought J. that an effort might be made to lynch P Vi Vaughan should he be placed in the Heflin jail. The fight grew out of a difficulty on election day which resuited in the destruction of the calaboose by friends of Barker, who was arrested by Vaughan, a special deputy. Soldiers to be Tried.

X- t NES IXSIIXS**" Cotton Report. Washington, November 8.?The world's production of cotton for mill consumption during the year ending August 31, 1908, exceeded by 2,340,000 bales the production of the previous year, according to the census bureau's report on the supply and distribution of cotton. It is a significant fact, thef report shows, that the fluctations in the world's supply of cotton is measured practically by the variations in the annual production in the United States. If the consumption of cotton in 1909 equals that in 1908 the United States, it is declared, must contribute about 12,500,000 bales to prevent further decrease in stocks. The number of cotton spindles in thiB country is 27,964,387, the distribution among the States giving Massachusetts 34 per cent., South Carolina 13 per cent., and North Carolina 11 per cent. Rhode Island ranks fourth in the list. The number of spindles has increased 23 per cent, in the last eight years and the consumption of cotton 24 per cent. The annual reports of manufactures of cotton are declared to be subject to wide fluctuations, those for 1908 amounting to $25,177,758 or less than one-half the value of exports for 1906, which aggregated in value more than $50,000,000. The reduction is due to the selling off of the exports to China. An interesting fact to producers is that the total cotton supply of the country for 1908, amounting to 4,449,300 bales, 34 per cent., was consumed in the United States. An Accomodating Manager. A gentleman informed us the other morning that one of the managers at a Calhoun county poll loaned his spectacles to an old negro who had left his spectacles at home thus enabling the negro to cast his vote for Taft and Richardson, which he could not have done had the manager not loaned him his glasses to read the labels on the boxes. In justice to the Federal Commissioners of Election of Calhoun county we will state that this manager was not apponited by them but was a substitute.?Orangeburg Times and Democrat. Agnew Sentenced. ?

Spartanburg Preachers to Register Protest Against Fair. Spartanburg, November 7.?That the Ministerial Union of Spartanburg and the faculty of Wofford College are not pleased with the Spartanburg County Fair, which closed last night, there can be no doubt, for a meeting of the ministers has been called for Monday afternoon, and the professors of Wofford and the male teachers of the city schools have been invited to attend. It is said that the preachers are opposed to the shows that were on the Midway and against the book making at the race track, and resolutions will be passed asking that the city and county authorities put a stop to the proceedings next year. Dr. Snyder, of Wofford College, refused to allow the College Y. M. C. A. to play a basket ball team yesterday morning because he did not approve of the Fair. The management of the Fair claim that the Church people and College professors are straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel for the ladies' societies of several churches of the city operated lunch counters and restaurants on the Midway and raked in money from the crowds at the Fair. Furthermore, the directors of the Fair claim that they did not receive the proper support from the merchants and citizens of Spartanburg in giving a Fair, that if the general public had subscribed to the finances, they would have been able to give a much better show. The indications are that there will be a lively fight between the preachers and the stockholders of the Fair. The general opinion is that the few men who put on the Fair in the face of much opposition deserve great credit for their success. Atlanta to the Front Again. They have a nice mess over in Atlanta just now. Jas. G. Woodward, recently nominated for mayor in the Democratic primary, got drunk and made a spectacle of himself in the disreputable quarter of the fcity a few days ago, and a mass meeting of citizens has been held and nominated R. F. Maddox a prominent citizen and banker, to make the race for mayor against Woodward in the general election. The mass meeting was a representative one, and it seems that at last the decent element of the city are aroused to the necessity of j retiring men of the stamp of Woodward. This same man has been mayor of Atlanta uefore, and has disgraced the city by his actions more than once. It is to be hoped that Maddox will be elected.
