LYON EXPLAINS. At Lexington Why He Took Double Hay. SAID IT WAS CUSTOM For Legislators to Draw Pav as Members of the Legislature and as Members of a Committee at the Same Time. Ragsdale Was Very Sacarstic. The first series of meetings of the. State campaign ended at Lexington on Saturday. It was a very good meeting. There was much more snap and life In the proceedings than usu*l. A G. Jones, John M^Mahan and It. I. Manning broke away from their even tenors and made things lively. Hut the sparkle of the mpeting was furnished In the speech of Mr. J. Wll lard Itagsdale, who is opposing Mr. Fr*?er Lyon for Attorney General. Mr. Itagsdale arrived late and spoke after the Gubernatorial candidates Mr. Lyon had spoken early and had kept close to the usual lines of his previous speeches, but Mr. Itagsdale literally lit into Mr. Lyon with gloves cff. lie Jabbed him wherever he thought there was an opening, and besides trying force, tried to ridicule his opponent. Three or four times he rose on his feet, and with arched flngere mil 1 /v V-* 4 . ' - ' ^ I -w jswiiiuniK w um uusuiu, exouumen: i am J. Fraser. Lyon, the great pursuer of grafters!" Then he would tiptoe and exclaim: UI am the great Fraser Lyon," who was going to do this or that. It amused the audience because It was roasting the other fellow brown, and the average crowd enjoys a finished roast no matter much who Is roastad. LYON DENIES A KEPLY. Mr. Eagsdale wanted Mr. Lyon to answer him categorically, but VIr. Lyon declined to do this, and begged to reply at the conclusion of Mr. Itagsdale's speech, but Chairman Etird declined to make any exceptions or to change the original programme, and Mr. Lyon spoke brielly at the very end of the mooting. Mr. Utgsdale, who arrived late and who was eager for the fray, said he rode TOO miles to be here to day. He seemed surprised that Mr. Lyon should have spoken at ter his regular time, lie said he wanted to settle certain issues here and now. He went on to say that Mr. Lyon had at a previous meeting said that certain statements he had made were not so. Mr. Lyon had, he heard, made such a statement after his speech. Now he wanted to know directly whether Mr. Lyon had gotten double pay while serving on the inves tlgation committee. lie wanted to know if be had been paid as a legislator and as a member of the committee while it was in session during the Legislature. Mr. Lyon asked if he might answer in detail from the reoord, and if so he would gladly do so. Chairman Etlrd held that he oould not permit any extended statement. Mr. Lyon refused to answer yes or no, without an explanation, and then Mr. Ragsdale piled Into him, and said here was a great purifier and ^chaser of graft, taking $4 a day as a legislator, and 14 a day at the same time for service On the investigating committee. He said that Senator James Stackhouse, of Marlon, had told him that Mr. Lyon had said he received the extra pay. MAKHS MANY CUAfcGKS. As to the Itemized statement not being filed, he got his Information from Mr. Blease. If such a statement had been filed, then it was all well and good. Then Mr. Ragsdale said Mr. Lyon had been elected to the house from Abbeville as a dispensary advocate, and he wanted to know what pledge the people had that he would not have a change of heart In his pursuit of the grafters. No man should change his views without first consulting his people. The Attorney General at best had little to do in such cases. The solicitors do the prosecuting, and if Lyon will only give the evidence the prosecution could now go on. He said Lyon was simply making a grand stand play talking about pursuing tbe graftera. He said Lyon was waiting to say: "I'll unfurl this banner. I'll be the leader against graft," and incidentally draw $1,900 salary, whloh, he said, was more than Lyon had ever made before, for but a few years ago he was satisfied with a Senate clerkship at $4 a day. No man, he said, ought to be eleoted who could not get the support of his home people, and he did not think Lyon oould now carry bbevile. Lyon should have resigned his place In the House if he meant to fight the dispensary. He made merry of Mr. Brlstow and the evidence of Mr. Brlstow and insisted that it was all worthless and bo Indefinite as not to be worth a penny. He had a lot of fun rldioullng the Brlstow evldenoe as a type of the work of the committee. He said he was in earnest in offering to get out Of the way for Gen. Youmans and knooked hard at the suggestion that he was put up as a deooy to take Lyon out of the raoe. lyon makk8 a 8tatkmknt. Some of the audience wanted Bagsdale to talk on, but he only spoke briefly over his time. After all the speaking and when but few remained, Mr. Lyon said that it was an almost universal precedent for members to aooept pay as Delators and also as members of speolal oommlttees tbat served during tbe meeting of the Legislature. The question came up before tbe Investigating oommlttee and, with but one exoepbson, as he remem bered, all voted to accept the pay, as it had always been done before. He accepted both salaries as has always been done. The Legislature had ruled directly upon such pay and all Legislative committees working during the session were provided with pay and have been paid. Iu rare instances recently such pay had been declined, he understood. As to the item'z ?.d statement, It was .published in the Jour'.si of l9Ct> and that ought to end it with any honrable man, The H^uso and Senate by vote ao oepted this statement as satisfactory and directly refused to ask for any further statement. Any one could have easily found that this statement was printed in the tbe t ill jial Journal. ine oniy issue in Abbeville was on the 1-2 mill tax In the Brice law. He favored it. Mr, Loroax opposed this special tax. Both were elected; therefore, what was the position people? He did know his stood for honesty and right and was his position, and all he asked wa? justice. IMr. Lyon made his brief statement witout any llurry, quietly and Impressed those who remained with his sincerity and honesty. COTTON STALKS MAY BK USED TO MAKE GOOD PRINTING PAPKU. Latest and Most Interestir g Invention to Make Paper Prom Useless Product. The manufacture of paper from the fiber of the cotton stalk is one of the latest and most interesting invention! of the new century, says Ilarvie J or dan in Manufacturers Record. Foi many years expert Inventors have beet busily engaged experimeutiug witt the cotton stalk, and now it appeari from recent developments that theli labors and expenditures of money an to be rewarded with signal and strik ing success. Not only have these lu vestigations passed the experiments stage but they are rapidly being shap ed to be placed Into practical opera lion. It lias been unquestionably de monstrated that all grades of paper from the best l'orm of linen grade t( the lowest, can he manufactured fron the cotton stalks. In addition to tills a variety of by products, such as alco hoi, nitrogen, material for gun cottoi and smokeless power, can alt o be s? cured in paying quantities. The Unit Is not now far distant when papei plants equipped with all modern ma chinery and devices for making pape; will be built and placed in operatloi throughout the cotton-growing statei of the South. The establishment o these mills for the manufacture of pa per from cotton stalks will at once do velop a new Industry of quite enor mous proportions of a waste produol whioh at the present time has com parative little or no value. It wll prova the enteringwedge of checking the present increasing cost of papor whioh is becoming suoh a burdoc upon the newspaper Industry of the country. It is estimated that on an tore ol land producing a bale of cotton at least one ton of stalks can be gathered. Upon this basis of calculation this new industry can annually depend upon from 10,000,000 to 12,000,000 tons of raw material. This will not only furnish necessary supplies to meet all home demands, but also permit ol the export of pulp or finished pro duots to foreign countries. At the present time there is approximately $287,000,000 invested In paper mlllg in the United States, with hut few plants located in the South. The buik of the material going into the manufacture of paper at the present time is spruce pine, and which is annually beooming more expensive in the depletion of the forests and the high priose which suoh timber commands in the market for other uses. The utlliza tlon of a waste product suoh as the cotton stalk, manufactured into commercial paper, will be a boon of Inestlmatable value to the whole oountry. The practical effeot of this new invention will be to increase the present value of the South's cotton crop nearly $100,000,000 annually. The growers will be amply paid for the expense of removing the stalks from their fields and delivery to the paper plants and In addition thereto receive a profit on this produot of their labor. In the southwestern section of the ootton belt the new industry will especially be of value and a blessing. With the removal of the ootton stalks from the fields In the early .fall the death knell of the boll-weevil will be sounded and its present devastating Influences reduoed to a minimum. So that from every standpoint the speedy development and extansion of this new Industry will be weloomed In all sections of the cotton belt. Paper manufactured from the ootton stalk Is of the strongest texture and softest finish. It lfl reported that several plants will be erected during the next few montha In oertaln sections of the South whloh will be In full operation by January 1, 1907.

He i was one of the olosest of any of the spectators to the parties at the time ' of the shooting. Mr. A C. L'wstedt > is well known in t uslness circles of this city. The testimony at the inquest Is given as fellows: Mr. C. P. Rrunson, sworn, says: Taat on Jure 29, 190(3, about 11 o'clock a. m., 1 was driving op to the , Court House gate, at my (dice. Refore getting to the usual place of stopping Mr. A. M. Rc-zard came up and spoke to me, ielatlng the death socnc of his wife. Just then 1 saw the deceased, J. T.

Just as that happened Mr. Covar baoked a j! little, both hands to bin shirt bosom; , In the twinkle of any eye he (Covai) "m presented a pistol at Park's body and tired and continued tiring. Then Parks kinder turned, and then drew a pistol and tired. Then It was oon? tinual tiring by both men. Q jostiou. Did any one else lire a pistol? j Answer. No one. I saw Mr. 1 Covar's father with a pistol In his hand, and saying to his son: 1 Kill ' him," and going in direction of his son and Parks. Parks was moving backwards. C. P. Brunson. Mr. A. 0.

He said: "Don't disarm mo." I said: "Put it in your pocket." Then he put it in his pocket and went off with his son. I then turned Mr. Covar's pistol over to the sheriff. Question by foreman: Would you know the pistol now if you saw it? Answer. Yes. (Pistol presented ) It is the pistol, it was unbreacheti when J. got it; had two loaded shells in It; no empty shells in It. A. C. Linstedt. Dr. A. S. Hydrlok, being sworn, says: That he has this day examined by dissection the body of J. T. Parks, and finds on the body of the said J. T. Parks three gunshot wounds, viz: First, one shot entering and fracturlng the chin and passing out, the direction being from right to left and from above downwards. The tcoond, a gunshot wound, ertering on the right side of the body between the ninth and tenth rib*, in the axillary iodo oi tne nver ana ine transverse colon, the point of entrance being live inches below tie nipple, right Ride, and the point of exit, 6 12 inches below nipple on left aide. Third, a ( wound below and to the right of the . umbilicus, which was made by a spent bullet and did not pass through abdominal wall. There was about three pints of blood in the abdominal cavity, and evidenoe of general peritonitis. In my judgment the death of , the said J. T. Parks was due to the wnnnrift riAumlhari nhnvn. A. S. Hydrlck. The death of Mr. Parks, which occurred a little after twelve o'clock Saturday morning, has oast a deep shadow of sorrow over this community, and the greatest sympathy Is felt for Mrs. Parks and her little boys In the terrible calamity that has befallen . them. t Mrs. Parks, wbo was Miss Annie , Perreyolear, the daughter of Mr. and , Mrs. W. H. Perreyolear, was popular { as a young lady In this city, and has a large family connection here. In addition to his wife and two little boys, ofte a mere baby, Mr. Parks leaves a daughter about sixteen years of age, the child of his first wife, who i died a number years ago In Edgefield ? County. Mr. Parks, In addition to his newspaper work, taught school at one time In this county. He was for several >' years one of the publlo cotton weigh tri il tblSDlaoe, and had numerous friends all over the oounty. He waa a very pleasant, affable gentleman, of an open, alncare diapoation and made friends of all with whom he oame In oontaot. He was always considerate of others and It was not oharaoterlailo of him to speak 111 of any person. He was very guarded In his expressions concerning others, although fearless in his editorial writings It was remarked by one of Mr. Park's friends that of all men he would nut have ex peeled to learn of his death in suoh a manner. Mr. Parks was an active member of Oantro Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and during his resid^noo here was an cfliclal In tne lodge. During Friday afternoon in spite of his intense suffering Mr. Parks gave directions regarding the disposition of his business alTv.rsand he made a will There were some directions that he desired to give in regard to his business matters and lie apparently waa in possession of his mental faculties until a short time baforo his death. He made no ante-mortem statement, as far as has been made knewn. IIo raionono to his attorneys, M ^srs Raysor & Summers. Rev. K M. Lightfoot, Pastor of the Orangeburg baptist Church, of which Mr. Parks was a member, was with him from the time he was shot until he died. The general supposition In this city is that both gentlemen had been led to believe from tales that had been told them that the ether would kill him on sight, and that he must bt.* prepared to defer d himself. It is said that Mr. Parks was met at the depot when he arrived here on Friday morning and told that if he caoce uo the street that Mr. Covar would shoot Mm on sight. It Is also said that the same party who had made thh statement to Mr. Parks went hack to Mr. Covar and told him that Mr. Parks would not compromise the differences between them and that he had better look out for himself. The fact that both were armed with such deadly weapons would indicate the above to have been the Impression of each of the parties. Mr. Parks did come up the street and on his way to call ou a friend passed right in front of the (til 3e of The Pitrlot where Mr. Ofivar VIS\>1 at", wnrlr III nfimnonn the friend he wr;tit to hco he passed The Patriot rtllce aualn on his way back. Mr. Parka did not intimate to tills friend that lie anticipated any trouble with Mr. Covur, and lie did not know that there w>.s any trouble between them until after the shooting Ir. soonus that the trouble between Messrs. Parks and CJovar has been brewing for tome time, but no one ever dreamed that it would have huoIi a tragic ending ai thato' Friday. It seems that these ir< ublt-s grew out of business transactions during the time that Mr Covar was tnauager for Mr. Pirks aftr he had moved to Columbia. It was not km wn hero that this bitterness bad brc,?me intensified, although sirioe tbe&lTair reports would Indicate that such had been the case, both parties had friends here aud they would have Interferred aud en dcavored to make satbfactoiy adjustment of the di illcultles had it been made known to them. Certainly the friends of both parties would have interfered and prevented so deplorable a termination of the differences. When Mr. Parks disposed of hij} printing plant here sever** months ago to Messrs. Funderbu g & Covar it was thought by the public u at \ hatever trouble there w*s had teen settled, bug it seeirs tl at such was not me uaae. id auui'ion 10 mo trouble between P. rks and Covar It ( seems that Messrs. Fu derburg and Covar did not get along "ell together on aocountof business d ffnrenoes, and that they bad agreed to dissolve copartnership by Mr. Covar drawing out of the business. What the drff-rences between Messrs. Funde;burg and Co var were has not been made public, but it was only of a business nature and the two gentlemen were on per- 1 feotly amicable terms. It was reported to Mr. Parks that he bad bet- ( ter come down here and look after his Interests as things were not going on as they should at the Patriot otlloe. Mr. Parks had a mortgage on the | Patriot plant, and it was natural for this report to cause him some apprehension and a desire to come down and straighten waiters QU*. It is said that on the same day that he re oeived the above Information he was telephoned that if he oame down here there would be trouble. IIow much this and other "talk" had to do with the tragedy is a matter of conjecture, but there are not a few who believe that had nothing been said to either Mr. Parks or Mr. Covar about a dlf ticulty that there would have been no trouble between them. It Is generally believed that the two men were put in a false light in eaoh others eyrg by the tales they had heard of each other, which caused them to regard each other as deadly enemies, and resulted In the dephrable tragedy of last Friday. ?" - IDKTNKO* Ul JUUII VTUUTIIt A dispatch from Atlanta says State Eatomologist Smith has written to i Commissioner of Agrloulture Hudson, declaring that the boll weevil Is bound to make ravages in the flelrls of Georgia cotton unless something radical prevents.
