"OLD BILL" MINOR RECAPTURED
. 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

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

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

about any man is "He is easy."
