Henry Davis, the white man who cut Policeman Knox and who was arrested here and takeu back to Co* Inmbiathls morning, told a story tf> the police officers of the capital city concerning th9 treitmant of Inmates of, the Lexington county Jail which, coupled with numerous rumors conerning the attitude of Sheriff Corley toward the men charged with the murder of George W Mabus, Is the reason for scuding a staff reporter of The State to tliis place today to alsccrtain the fact?. The jail fronts on the principal street and is almost in the heart of the town. It is a tw >-story brick structure erected in 188D. It is fitted with st?el lined rooms and steel cages r or the prisoners. In accordance with a custom which has long been observed here separate sections of the | ill are assigned for the white and jolored prisoners. The correspondent of The State called at toe Jail at l o'clock and and was promptly shown through the prisoners' confines by Deputy Sheriff Corley, the sheriff bjing absent. The story in circulation for some t me that special accommodations are jiven the Fallaw boys and Isaac j la/lor, who are charged witli the | murder of Malms, is unfounded.

They have not applied for bail and talked as if they would not/ as it would mean the showing of their hand, putting somewhat at a disadvantage when their ease is called for trial. Sheriff Oorley arrived ott the late afternoon train from Savannah, He was seen by The State man* who informed him of Iris mission to Lexington. sheriff Corley talked very freely and said he appreciated the fair ness displayed to investigate c.rndi iwkf/tt'ii ?\n)ilidiiih' hi* rumi?rs llt'iir* in i\?iu i'%.ui - - - whidh were afloat 1 have been sheriff for three years" said Mr. Corley' "anil before my elee* ton to this I was for ahiUl seven yearsdeputy sheriff and constable' In all that Lime I never had oys I was told there (bit, I had better not ko to tbei house Heforc 1 reached the clde Fallaw's home a neighbor stoppid m and warned me not to no over then that 1 wou d do s i at the peri! of m > ,ife 1 went on over and found th ' f" steel cells at niffut, bu' * *?"

A quart a ottle and a pint bottle, both empty, g re re seen in one of the cells. The t oputy sheriff who is 11 le father of f. lie sheriff, stated to The State repre* ^ dilative that without giving the t litter much thought, he had pur- r hascd two buttles of whiskey for these a ullows, but he had since refused to uirchase whiskey for them and would c lot do so any more. j '1 he men, along with two other c .vhitc prisoners, were playing cards ? r j onn^ing about in tlie corridors when ^ i'lie State man walked in. Their ue- , ions were not uncommon to tho-e of j prisoners in other jails. Tin y will st ek to have their irial Lake place in Aiken county, where the , i'noting of Mabus occurred. L'e Fdlavv, l be older one of tlie boys' - stated that they did not think it right to try them for murdei in Lexington county' where the young man Mabus had in my 'el illves and friends, and they did n >t feel that, they could secure a fair and impartial trial. He stated that they were poor hoys, without much money, and were unable to employ ?s competent counsel as they would like. Their de'cnce wili he in the niture i of an alibi, It was alleged that al- ! ______? eider Failaw and young Taylor together. Ttiey told mo th it the other boye were not there bat propo sedtba t Taylor take the mule and go for the m. To this 1 consented. He got back to the house lu the night and t forma I is placed each under arrest.' I told them of what Ihad heard' of ttie warning* that had beengiven mj to not go new them, and stated that I would treit them all right if they acted right to- * ward me' but that If they atiampted any dirty work that they would bo surd to find me In the game. 'The next morning one of the men had to go to Batesburg on business and I allowed him to go but he sa:d he would get 0:1 the train as it passe i and oorne to Lexington with me wltboutany trouble, and this be dld.l took the other three and boarded tiie train at Monetta. The elder Fall iw boarded the t&ain as he had agreed an 1 1 brought them all to Lexington and ulaeed them In ls.il.

Tuesday was a 1 irmers' rally day for Saluda, town nd country. There arc more farmers ccor ling to p ipulation and area in aluda county than In any other in he State and more of them own their irms Being an agricultural people I meet universally, it is no wonder hat fully 2,"0? turned out hear the epreseutatives of the interests they ire nv?st interested in. From every n??ok and corner of the ionnty they came and nurnliers were lore from the bordering towns and :ounlles. Fur several days President Goriest and his coworkers luve been preparing for the gathering and right well has the large crowd been cared for. From early morning untii noon there was an iniiux 01 suwiani'in iaiui&ia, accompanied by tlieir wives, your.tf men with their lasses and baseball fans by Hie score. At 11 u'ciock Messrs. E. D.

This in brief was that they should lake their proper place in economy ! <>f the nation, demand and have for 1 their labor and the product on which ! they have a monopoly its true value, i and when they have done this a stream of ^litterinir KOld will be turned in this direction that wilt oring peace, pieniy, prosperity <11111 I happiness into every Southern home.
