Train Robber Back to Prison?Partner in Ecape Killed. Augusta. Ga., Nov. 4.?A special ; to the Herald from Waynesboro says: While reposing in a boxcar at St. | .Clair last night the slumbers of "Old | Bill"- Minor and Tom Moore were | rudely disturbed by the negro porter on the Georgia and Florida Rail; road calling out "Is it cold in there?" ! This gave a clew to the searchers, who were on the lookout for the two J criminals yesterday morning, and J. W. Whittle summoned help and surrounded the car. A demand was made for them to come out and "Old Bill came out slowly, and upon ! being told to throw up his hands, he put up one hand and held the other L on his gun, a 32-calibre magazine . pistol, which he reluctantly left in . his pocket, an?l put up the other hand. Moore showed fight and was i shot in the face by one of the pos, se. Two shots were fired, one by i Tom and one at him. Early this morning "Old Bill" Minor was brought to Waynesboro for safekeeping, and when he was placed in the sheriff's office a crowd surround - * . . i-ll. 1- X1.A ed it to get a iook ana uuk. lu mc famous old train robber, whose record for escapes almost equals his record for crime. He thanked Commissioner Gresham for some favor done him and when Deputy Sheriff Samuels, who had charge of him, told Minor that he was looking for him all day Friday, Bill replied that he was at home and why didn't he come in. He says he was in the swamps. Minor was in the best of spirits and talked as if nothing had happened. When questioned as to where they have been spending their time since their escape from Milledgeville, he says for several days most of the time was spent in Augusta. Tom Moore, who was with Minor and who was killed while resisting arrest, was sentenced to life in the penitentiary for killing his brother, Moore was in search of some papers that he considered important in his case and was accompanied by Minor. Moore had a case in Augusta against some insurance company who carried the policy on his brother's life and he has had several mistrials with it. It was for this case that he was searching for papers when he and his pal were surprised at St. Clair last night. Moore hoped to reopen the case at some future time. Moore was a young man about 20 years old and his chances for commutation were good and he had been a trusty f noei trim vaare haitlf* P11 nwpd 1U<1 CLIO peteri, Lliu J vut?j, we.ug ? much freedom during that time. Minor is about 60 years old, a native Kentuckian. He went to California. He is about 5 feet 9 inches high, weight about 235 pounds and has gray hair and brown eyes. He is so well preserved that the ravages of time has dealt kindly with him. He will be kept in jail here until the State authorities come after him. The Effect of Fall Plowing on Cotton Anthracnose. Experiments conducted at the South Carolina Experiment Station during the past year show that where cottSn anthracnose occurs fall plowing is very essential. A number of diseased cotton bolls were collected last fall and buried at various depths in the soil. These bolls were dug up " J.i.Mnir titintor irom utile iu uurc uumug tuc n<uw and 'spring and cultures were made from them in order to determine how long the fungus which causes the disease would live in such bolls. We found that the fungus does not seem to live in these bolls longer than the middle of March. Many of these bolls, when taken up and examined, were found to contain quantities of bacteria?worms were also found in some of them. These facts lead us to believe that the ordinary agencies of decomposition destroy the anthracnose fungus when the bolls in which the fungus is living, are buried in moist soil. At the same time that these bolls were buried, a number of badly diseased stalks were pulled up and carried out to the edge of the field where they had been left unmolested since last fall. Diseased bolls were taken from these stalks from time to time and examined. The fungus is still alive in the diseased bolls on these stalks. The cotton in the field from which these bolls and stalks were " " - - - La collected last season wore very u<*uiy diseased. The stalk chopper was run over these stalks as soon as the cotton had all been picked and the land was turned about 10 inches deep. It was then harrowed and sown in crimson clover. The clover was plowed under early in April and the land was planted again in the same variety of cotton that was used last year. The seed for this planting had been carefully selected from a field where there was no anthracnose. This season there was no anthracnose at all in this field. These results, then, indicate thatj fall plowing is going to be a great help in combatting the anthracnose. The fact that the fungus is still alive in stalks which were not turned under emphasizes the importance of such plowing. These are facts which it is well to keep in mind while it is still time for fall plowing. H. W. BARRE, Botanist to S. C. Experiment Sta tion. October 28, 1911.
