LID FARMERS.
16 U. S. Government to Conduct Some
h f Important Demonstrations.
Il;; Washington, Oct. 5.?An effort to
^ secure higher prices for cotton by an
improvement in the methods of hand?
; :iing, grading and marketing the crop
[ ? Is to be made by the government this
Iftyear in co-operation with prominent
cotton growers.
The plan is designed to bring to
XObtAm. _ iV- *..11
BKgg-vr. me cotton raisers iue iuu ucuuui, ui
A the increase in value that can be se^
cured by a careful grading of the crop
correspond with the new government
standards. These standards
HjKfe iave been in the hands of the cotton
-exchanges for some time and are recognized
as official standards of the
Bra? trade.
i Officials of the agriculture departKpi^
meat are planning to take the crop
Hfe;* from plantations selected as experiment
points. The government exHSr;;
perts will, use the most approved
'methods of grading, handling, balMt
. *nS and selling and will make accujfe;
rate returns on each operation for
Bk* the benefit of the cotton growers. It
fis believed that if the cotton raisers
e can be trained to grade the crop
carefully in its initial handling, its
Rvalue can be greatly increased by
putting the cotton into grades that
command higher prices. Efforts are
being made to induce farmers' associations
and local bodies to purchase
sets of government's standards
for use in preparing the cot?ton
for the market.
The price of the standards has
been reduced from $35 to $30 for the
benefit of farmers' associations and
the department is recommending that
a "half series" be purchased which
iwill give farmers a facility to grade
their cotton. It is believed cotton
raisers of the South will benefit to
the extent of millions of dollars if
the improvements in handling and
marketing methods can be made

flood. of last Saturday were
made to-day when two foreign women
were caught by a State trooper
prying open the lid of a trunk. The
women are Mrs. Peter Shava and
her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Joseph
Shava. The women when arrested
appealed to State Senator F. E. Baldwin
to intercede for them but he refused.
They were taken to the county
jail at Coudersport, Pa. Their
home then was searched and furs and
jewelry valued at $1,00 or more were
recovered, many pieces being identified
by the owners.

force of workers, marked
the day as one of the greatest progress
thus far in relieving the stricken
town.
Six funerals were held to-day.

Denies Darby Assaulted Her.
Chester, Oct. 4.?A preliminary
trial of the case of George Darby,
white, charged with criminal assault,
was held yesterday before Magistrate
Wilkes. The case was sent up to the
court of general sessions, and Darby
was remanded to jail in default of
$1,000 bond.
George Darby is a resident of the
Baton Rouge section of this county,
and is largely connected through
that section. There was a big crowd
here yesterday for the trial, and interest
in the case was intense. This
will be one of the most interesting
trials to be brought up at the coming
term of court.
The alleged victim of Darby testified
yesterday that he was innocent
and that her assailant was another
man.

MAN."
ROTON SENTENCED TO 3 YEARS.
Young Saluda Man Convicted of Seduction
will Appeal.
Saluda, Oct. 7.?The only white
person tried at this term of eourt
was Clarence B. Raton, charged with
seduction. He was to-day sentenced
by Judge Memminger to three years
on the public works of the county.
In passing sentence, Judge Memminger
took occasion to say t^at he
would not deliver any lecture; that
enough had already been said during
the terrible ordeal through which
the defendant had passed during the
2? ?1 ?????. I.Jn/v Viftnrowoi1
trial. opvtuviug lunuci, uv/nvivi)
the judge remarked that he had
never in all his experience seen a
case of this nature where there was
less testimony showing, or tending to
show, the unchastity of the female
as was offered in this case.
"I say to you," he continued, addressing
the defendant, "that in .all
this record there is nought to reflect
upon the character of this young woman,
except what you yourself have
stated. Under ?this indictment you
are a guilty man, and while errors
in the law may have been committed
by me, though I do not think so, and
while there mav be held" out to you
the hope of a reversal, I say, while
all this may be true, yet, you are a
guilty man, and no jury will ever
acquit you. #
"The only testimony beside your
own offered tending to show the unchastity
of this young woman was
contained in the affidavit you made
as to what a young man, Fagle, sick
in bed, would swear to if he were
here, and I am reliably informed
that this young man denies emphatically
stating what you claim he did
state to you in regard to this young
woman."
Counsel for the defendant gave
notice of appeal, and the bond was
fixed at $1,000.
The defendant, Roton, yesterday
endeavored to get the young woman
to marry him, and went so far as to
apply to the probate court for a license.
The young woman sent word
to the court to-day that she would .
not marry him. Under the law, if
the parties were to marry, all further
proceedings against Roton
would, perforce of the law, be stopped.
The defendant is of a good
family in this county, and he is a
rather good looking young fellow.
This is the first case of this nature
ever tried in the courts of this county.

THE BLESSING OP SLEEP.
Sancho Panza's Dissertation on Nature's
Swe^t Restorer.
Cervantes, who lived in the "curfew
days," gave us an estimate of
sleep that is not without merit in the
eyes of many even to-day. "Blessings,"
he invoked, "on him who first
invented this same sleep. It covers a
man all over, thoughts and all, like a
cloak; it is meat for the hungry,
drink for the thirsty, heat for the
cold and cold for the hot. It is the
A. ? ? * nil +Vl A
current cum mat yuicuaoca cm tuc
pleasures of the world cheap, and the
balance that sets the king and the
shepherd, the fool and the wise man,
even." This, written some 300 years
ago, is a true defense that even the
greatest of those who liave turned
the dark places into light cannot
entirely break down.

No. 29, running from Kansas City
to Oklahoma City, on the Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railroad, early today.
The robbery occurred near
Oakes, ten miles south of here.
The mail and baggage cars were
rifled but little of value was secured '
by the robbers. i
The passengers were not molested.
The hold-up took place in a new
cut and the train was running slowly.
Suddenly four shots were fired. The
engineer and fireman saw three
masked men climbing over the tender
pointing revolvers at them. Jas.
Myers, engineer, was ordered to stop
the train. Myers did.
The bandits compelled the fireman
to uncouple the baggage and express
cars and run them down the track
several yards from the remainder of
the train.
The sheriff of Osage county organized
a posse of 20 men, and with a
pair of bloodhounds, started on the
trail of the bandits, which led into
the wild Osage Hills.
Three hours after the hold-up
three men believed to be the same
trio, robbed the station agent at
Dewey, Okla., northeast of here, and
got $46 from him. Posses with
bloodhounds are in pursuit. j
