He told his story at Converse to-night and a posse set out from there to catch the robbers. a * CURTAILMENT IN PROSPECT. Cotton Goods Situation is Unsatisfacfactory to Mills. New York, Jan. 1.?The year closed with the cotton goods market steady but quiet. Prices appear to be firm, but they offer mills no margin for profit on many of the staples, while cotton rules high. In manu facturing circles curtailment of production is being urged and in mercantile housese it is felt that production is running ahead of the demand for the time being. Export Trade. The volume of export trade with China in the last weeks of the year reached at least 10,000 bales and the market is firm on a basis of 6 *4 cents for four-yard 56 by 60s. The demand for ginghams and fancy wash fabrics of sheer construction holds good. Staple prints have sold well and are being delivered freely for the spring trade. Bleached sheetings are held firm on a basis of 9 cents for fruit-of-the- loom, but the demnad is of a hand-to-mouth character. Colored cottons have been sold fairly well on the low grades, but mill agents complain of a lack of profit at present prices. The Yarn Market. The demand for plain constructions of fine cloths is lighter and in fancy goods, silks and cottons sell rather better than other lines. The cotton yarn market continues quiet with values held fairly steady. Of the 175,000 pieces of print cloths sold in the last week of the year at Fall River about 75,000 consisted of 27 in 56 by 52s for substitute count print. The mills in that city are carrying comparatively small I stocks and are discussing the need | of curtailment when January conI tracts begin to expire. LEGISLATURE SPLIT. Regular Democrats Control Senate, MATiicfo ftia TTmico 1' U^AVlUOiO 1'tlV AAVUUV* Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 2.?The fifty-seventli biennial session of the General Assembly of Tennessee began to-day, but little was accomplished. The Senate, fully under the control of the regular Democrats, perfected oragnizatlon without difficulty, by electing all the nominees of the Democratic caucus, including N. Baxter, Jr., as Speaker. The Republican and independent candidates were withdrawn. In the House the situation was, however, entirely different. The Republicans had agreed to support the choice of the independents for Speaker, chief clerk and assistant clerk. The independent Democrats caucused in the morning and the regulars also held a star chamber session. Seven less than a quorum answered roll call in the House, but after some wrangling the fusionists pro- ' ceetfed with temporary organization by electing J. Harvey Swann, Speaker, and Fred T. Wilson, clerk. ; The regulars' floor leader, Mr. Puryear, objected to every move. His ' objections were all overruled. At 3 o'clock another session was held, with 62 members present, but 1 on motion to go into permanent organization the regulars refrained from voting. The fusionists, how- i ever, proceeded to elect A. M. Leach i permanent Speaker. The other i members withheld their votes. Wil*?lr Plioo ouu was cicv;icu auu. vucto. < Cason assistant. The fusion forces expect that ] enough regulars will come over to- i morrow to make a quorum. This, ; however, is considered doubtful. ; Half a dozen or more notices of contest were filed by fusionists in the House th:s afternoon, and at least two Senat6rial seats will be contested. The first balloting for United States Senator may take place next Tuesday week. Modesty Caused Her Death. New York, Dec. 21.?Because she was too modest to allow the fastening of a tourniquet about her leg, , Helen Gershen died at St. Vincent's hospital to-day. Miss Gershen accidentally stabbed ! herself in her left leg with a pair of scissors while at work in a clothing factory. Her fellow employes rushed to her assistance, but she refused to permit any one to bind the wound. She soon fainted from loss of blood and was hurried to the hospital. It! was too late, however, to save her! life, although the house surgeon said j she would have recovered had a tour-; niquet- been applied immediately. SOCIETY GIRL DEPUTY SHERIFF. Young Woman Appointed by Father at Her Own Request. I Uniontown, Pa., Dec. 28.?Miss Lucy Jones, a University woman and; one of the leaders of Uniontown so- j cietv, has been appointed a deputy; sheriff by her father at her own re- j quest. Announcement of Miss Jones's new j position came when the force of depu- j ties presented her with a revolver, | badge and a pair of handcuffs to-day.! TOWILL GRILLED BY LAWYER. Put Through a Very Severe Crossexamination. Saluda, Jan. 1.?John Bell Towill was led along a rather devious path here last Friday by C. J. Ramage in a hearing before the clerk of the court as to his ability to justify on a bond he is endeavoring to make on behalf of Andrew B. Watson in a claim and delivery proceeding instituted by E. Jones & Co., of Batesburg, against A. B. Watson and Mrs. A. B. Watson, of Hibernia. . The examination took a rather wide range and harked back to the time Mr. Towill was a member of the board of control. On the direct examination conducted by E. L. Asbill of Leesville, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Watsdn, Towill stated that he owned real estate in Batesburg worth some $10,000 and was mortgaged to the extent of $2,500. He also owned a tract of land in Saluda county worth about $2,200 and a half interest in a tract of 4 80 acres in Edgefield county. Asked as to his personal property,! he drew out a batch of notes and mortgages on real estate and proceeded to introduce them in evidence. He held one against C. P. Padgett and F. P. Padgett, and while hand ing this over to the clerk, remarked I that it was for purchase money of | the land "I inherited?no graft about it either." Had Others. The notes and mortgages aggregated about $2,500. He had others, but, as they were about due, did not present them. His valuation of the real estate he owns is around $16,000, with incumbrance of only $2,500. He said he owned stock in The Enterprise, the new paper just established at Batesburg, but declined to say how much. He testified that there was no civil actions pending against him except one by C. E. Jones who was trying to "swunk him" out of his one-half interest in the Edgefield tract of lani. He admitted that he was under bond on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the State, designated by the witness as the "famous graft cases." Asked if the $10,000 bond he was placed under was the general charge or the label case, he replied "God knows, I don't." On the cross-examination Mr. Ramage asked -witness when he went on the dispensary board. He did not recall. "Was it as early as 1905?" He did not know. "Was it 1904?" He would not say. He did not recall whether he served on the board in 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, but said he did not serve in 1910. Counsel then asked witness if he would fix the time he did serve on the board or come within five years of it. He answered that he would not swear as to that. Asked if there was not a suit pending against him in Saluda county, he said he had never heard of any, "but I would not be surprised if some dead beat don't'start one," and he added that there was no just cause for any. Irrelevant. Asked if there was not some other charge against him besides the label conspiracy case, witness with some show of exasperation said, "I have never heard of any and I have been at every court ready for trial and have not asked for a single postponement and am ready now." When told that the latter part of his statement was irrelevant, witness looked around the room and remarked, "I reckon there are some around here who want to use it." After naming E. H. Evans and L. W. Boykin as the members of the board with whom he served, the witness was asked if H. H. Evans was 1 not under indictment and he replied, j "I have been so informed, but I have not been informed that the powers j that be have endeavored to prosecute the case against him when the courts have met at Newberry." To the question asked by Rr. Ramage if John Black had not been sentenced to five years, Mr. Asbill objected, but the witness insisted on answering it, saying to M,r. Ramage, "Crack your whip; I can take care of myself, only the galled jade winces." Memory is Poor. Changing the line of examination, Mr. Ramage asked witness what his property was worth when he went on the State board and got for his answer "about as much as it is now." When asked if he owned any notes and mortgages when he became a member of the board like he has today the reply was he did not recall. "Where did you get the money to loan on these notes and mortgages?" witness was asked, and, with some heat, replied, "I got it like you get yours, by working for it honestly." In explaining how he made his money witness said he traded in land, speculated, merchandised and made it in various other ways. "Altogether whether the project looks good" was the reply to whether he speculated in large or small amounts, end as to whether he speculated in cotton futures or not was "none of attorney's % :!; ili tl-il #%%%#&% I ALL ! < * IE iw 4 1??

" ' V. nnmn in ATI thfl f rom pill Lies WUU UU11C 1U vu VUV morning train from North Wilkesboro it was learned that revenue officers made a raid a few miles from Elkin Friday afternoon and destroyed a large illicit distilling plant. It was found under the home of a postmaster. No arrests were made, but the plant was destroyed. The officers made the statement that it was one of the most complete plants they had ever seen and that this was the first time they had ever found one under a man's house. DIES OF HIS WOUND. Charley Lake's Accidental Shooting Proves Fatal to Him. Newberry, Dec. 29.?Charley Lake, the youngest son of Dr. W. E. Lake, who accidentally shot h.'mself through the body, near the heart, while out hnntine on Wednesday afternoon, j died this morning at 11 o'clock from the effects of the wound. Burial will be at St. Luke's Lutheran church, near Prosperity, on Friday. business." Witness could not recall if he | bought the two-story brick building j in the town of Batesburg valued at j $6,000 before or after he was on the I State board, nor did he know as to i the six a~res in town of Batesburg. Ready for Trial. When asked to name parties to whom he had conveyed' real estate in the past two years he said he could j not do so as "they were too numerous j to mention." Asked how much he ; had conveyed to his wife during that period witness replied. "I can not I swear, because I am not in a position I to say, some few tracts of land." In trying to get at the value of the land witness had conveyed to his wife counsel asked him if he had conveyed as much as $8,000 worth to her, and the evasive answer was, "I did not pay or receive from her that much money for said property conveyed." More than once during the exam ination the witness emphasized the fact that he was ready for trial in the "famous graft case," to use his expression, and he seemed to take delight in saying he had never asked for a continuance and had been at every court since the indictment was found against him, and he would be there next time court met. The examination occupied several hours and was at times very interesting. The hearing was continued until next Monday. V * \ . ''v:/'vi * . Sfc ? TJT *4 "i? ?4? ?A? %? I ? 4?
