FINALLY CAPTURED. i Party of Negroes Start Out And Attack a White Man and His Wife in Their Home Without Any Cause. A dispatch from Anderson to The Sews and Courier tells & strange tale kbout the doings of some crazy or irunken negroes in Anderson County. The trouble took place Thursday light and as a result of it one negro is dead and three others were lodged in jail. Two of them have beon ex amlned 'or lunacy and will probably be sent to the Asylum. They are undoubtedly crazed with religious froDzy. They talk irrationally and imagine they are idol breakers, oavlng destroyed much valuable property in their houses, such as pictures, mirrors, olooks, and musical instruments. One of those in Jail is quite seriously wounded, having three bullets In hlB body. The dead negro is said to havo been & negro of prominencs and worth several thousand dollars. Mr. and I Mrs. J as. Long, who were attached by the negroes, are both quite badly hurt, having been assailed with rooks Dr. Tripp, who was shot In the cap lure of the negroes, Is seriously wounded, but will recover. It Is said that he was shot by oue of his own oarty by mistake. lie was wounded In the breast. The negroes, it seems, started out on a regular rampage, and tlrst attacked a house oooupled by their owe raoe. They struck terror to the hearts of the inmates and they led. The negroes prooeeded to the house of Mr. Long, who Is a prominent citizen of that section,and assailed Mr. and Mrs. Long with rook, and wounded them badly. As soon as the reports of the outrage went out a orowd gathered to begin a hunt for the ne groe.. They were surrounded In a house and after several shots were tired by both sides they were captured. It was in this skirmish with the negroes that Dr. Tripp and the negroes were wounded. The one who died was named R^ed and he was badly shot up. The two who have been examined for lun&oy are William and Eisey Anderson, uncle and nephew. Deputy Scott, who made the arrests of the negroes, reports that fchA hnno* In mVilnh *. V* ?? ? ' UV ><vuvv ill ntllUM ILiD IXiCll WOTO captured was a complete wreck so far as the furnishlDgs were concerned. Nearly every artlole of household adornment was broken Into pieces, the negroes claiming that such things were idols and should be destroyed. They claim that there must be a revolution among the people and that they must change their manner of living. It is plainly a case of religl ous fanaticism carried to an alarming extent and is something out of the ordinary in this State. ATTKM1TKD ASSAULT. It seems that the religious frenzy story published by The News and Courier and oopled above is all a hoax, as the following account of the trouble, which was sent the Spartanburg Journal from Greenville, will show. The dispatch from Greenville says as the result of a olanh between two olllcers and about ten men on one side and a score or more of negroes on the other side, near Piedmont, Anderson County, late Tnursday afternoon, one negro is dead and several other persons, white and blaik, are injured. The dispatch says Thursday morning a warrant was issu xl for the arrebt of Bill Henderson, a negro, on the charge of attempting to assault Mrs. O. M. Long, a well known farmer's wife. The ottioors left at once for the ielnitv of Piedmont, where the man wanted was reported to be at the lime. Before arriving there they learned that the negroes in that vicinity were preparing to put up a tight In an effort to prevent the arrest of Ilender ion. The officers sought to strengthen their force by the addition of a uozen men whom they enlisted in that neighborhood, Mrs. Long accompanied the party for the purpose of Identifying the negro. When the party arrived at the house where it was reported that Henderson was staying they found the place barrloaded and the armed negroes ou the outside. After discus&ing the situation bhe officers decided to storm the Improvised fortress. Then the tiring began and continued for fifteen minutes. When the smoke oieared away the result was found to be as above stated. The negro was finally arrested and lodged in jail. There was no exoltement or threats to lynoh him. General von Llarllarski, acting governor of Warsaw, was assassinated reI oently. # \ A committee of the American Bar association has framed a uniform divoroe law.

D. Smith of the Southern \ Cotton association has returned from c the meeting of the executive oommtt- * tee recently held at Hot Springs. Mr. t Smith makes the following statement: i 1 have just returned from the meet- t Ing of the executive committee at Hot l Springs, Ark., which oonvened Sept., c 6, and adjourned on the evening of \ Sept., 9. Matters of great importance came i up ror consideration before this meet- e ing and were considered deliberately s and entirely with reference to the l good that might be done to those In- r terested In ootton growing In the i South and in the prosperity that has r resulted from the two years of the re c muuerative return for ootton. < All the S',ates were represented, and j In f-plto of the fact that some srrious t blunders had been made, every man l was entliu ilastlo as to the principles \ of the organization and Its ultimate < power to wlu tlie llgnt for Southern ( independence of the domination of i foie gn speculations and foreign capl- < tal. The committee, after the deliberation, decided to tlx dead-line, the line below which no cotton, weak or strong, should be sold.in the South at ten oents per pound. Tnls was done because of the sentiment throughout the South that this was the lowest possible prioe under existing conditions as to labor, and tho increased prioes of all othor commodities neooessary for tne growing and making of tho croD. that, wnuld tno grower to meet his obligations It had no refereuco whatever to the present orop or any other condition. Wo did not say, nor do we mean to say, that ootton Is not or will not be worth more than this per pound, based upon the law of supply and demand. There were oonsumed this year, from Sept., 1 to Sept., 1, 12.200,000 bales, which brought an average of 11.7 cents per pound; 850,000 bales of this amount were taken from the crop of 1904, which was brought over from that year into the cotton year of 1905 06. According to the consumption, as reported from the mills, aud the new spludies that are added, the prospec[ tive demands for the spinning world will be 12,500,000 bales for 1906 aud 1907, of the present ootton yeir. As to tho outlook for the yield of the present year, we had an aggregate of several thousand reports f om dlf- , fereut States, ^akcn from observations ; made since Sept., 1. These reports from the Beveral States were road in ; upon committee and commented upon i by the members of the exoutivo com- i mittee and the State presidents from < the several States. From North (Jar | ollna, J. P. Allison of Concord and O. ( C. Moore from Charlotte, oorroborat | ed the returns from that State which | indicated from ten to fifteen per cent, less yield than last year. Thev stated i that unless the Drioe of ont.r.nn ed 10 oents per pound, the oo*ton i growers of their State would selT>r. From Alabama, W. II. Seymour of Montgomery spoke on the returns from their State, declaring that the conditions there did not warrant an estimate as good as last year of from ten t.o fifteen par cent. They also contended that unless the price equalled that of last year Alabama wouid also suffer in view of the fact of the Increased cost of production and the enhanced value of ail articles necessary for home consumption ou the farm. From Arkansas J. W. White of Bussellvllle, Dr. L. E. Love of Dardenelie and II. B. Burnet ?o of Ohlokal&h, declared that tne conditions In Arkansas had deteriorated, at the lowest calculation, 25 per cent. In the last 15 days prior to our meeting. They put the maxi-1 mum yield from Arkansas at about 750.000 bales. From Louisiana Paul M. Potts of Nacaitoches and F L Maxwell of Mound, c rroboraiea tne reports from the dltf rent counties that bell weevil In the litd River valley, excessive rain, rust and blight made the condition in tbelr Slate but slightly increased over last year. I* must te taken into account in refer ence to this State, that tbey made practically a total failure hist y- ar. From Mhslbsippi, Walter Ola k of Clarkadale and Dr. William Woi ds or j aoicson aeciarea inai tne ouncntions In their State were suoh that the yield would be from fifteen to twenty per oent. less than was estimated 15 days previous to our meeting. From G^rgia liar vie Jordan con firmed the statement that the outlook In Georgia was for a ten or fifteen per cent, decrease under last year. From Texas, , &. T. Mllner of Ilenderscn, J. 0. Hiokey of Henderson and Dr. J H. Popeof Marshall confirmed thertpirts that never before in t le hi itory of ihf State have the ravages of b >11 we v: and boll worm bseo ho gr as the; are in the present year T lis, coupled with the ranid deterioration of the condition of ccbton maae the prospect for a yield in Texas very slightly over that of last year. From Oklahoma and Indian Territory, L. B. Irvin of Still" water, Okla., confirmed the report that for the first time in the history of cotton growing the boll weevil had invaded their territory, and though The new railroad rate bill went into effect August 28. ) ' , It is easier to avoid temptation than it is to overoome it. he prospects up to two weeks ago vere very (Uttering, yet be ooofirmed he report that the outlook at tbe ilma of our maetlug was aucb aa to varrant do appreolabls Increase over ast vear. The condition Id our StaU known to the readers of this article, ks to my own observations, I visited he States of Texas, Arkansas, Ala>ama, Mississippi, North Carolina and n none of these States are there conUtlons to warrant a yield apprcxtnat-elv above that of last year. As o Texas, Mr. Hyatt has given a true eport of conditions In reference to he boll weevil and the general out ook. 1 was present with him and lontlrm the statement In his Inter dew. It Is absolutely Csuloldal for those vho make the cotton, to be frighten id by the bear reports that are being ent out, and market their cotton foi ess than 10 cents per pound at their espeotlve stations. The trade resizes that th 8 Is the debt paving pe lod and that they will fore* the prior lown now, take advantage of the pov i >rty and dire necessity of the oottor Droducor, and load up the mills wltl ihis cheap cotton iu order to get hirr n a position where they may dictate ihe pries for the entire crop. Let wfiTv muri wlut huo Mo -1 1-1 , ?i??a ilia whu ttllu lllf country's interest at heart, see to 11 that the cotton Hhall not be Racrltlcco dmpiy because wo fatlad In obtaining the 15 cents, for which bo many of us stood. became of the uaeeemtug wis dom of this move, Is no reason why wi should not stand a? a unit now that we are all agreed as to the price below whloh cotton shall not go. 1 have given the names of the ex ecutive c >mmlttee from every State, so that anyone wishing to Inquire why they are and as >o their Btauding in their several States and as to the conditions that obtain in their States, may comrauntoato with them to oontirra the statements that I have mado. Tiie executive committee deoldodin view of tiie fact that lu our presont st ttus wo were not much more than an advisory board and had no power to enforce our demands, unless there should be a strict observance of our advice, to organize a corporation for the purpose of buying, selling and warehousing cotton and to raise, if possible, at least 100,000.000 for the purpose of buying and retiring from the market the wead cotton which each year during September, October and November is forced on the market to the injury of all those who can hold and who would be willing to hold under other circumstances. The shares are to be $5 each. If every cotton grower in the South would put Into this syndloate 15 a bale on the cotton grown, It would give the capital of approximately 100,000,000. This* money oould be distributed in each State according to thennmhftrnf halA* rained In that State and be used for the purp' so of purchasing and retiring sotton offered below the minimum price. Say, a planter raises ten bales uf cotton, he Is offered 8 cents p?n pound, he takes $5 worth of stock per bale, or 850 In this concern; the market advances, In consequence, one sent per pound. He has made back [>n<hls ten bales of cotton the entire amount Invested, besides still owning bis stook In the company. It is a very simple plan; very eaay of ezeou blon, If the planters, merchants auc bankers will j jst take sufficient stock to realize the amount asked for. Ah It Is, we stand to lose $10 on the bale any year on any giZ3orop we grow. Therefore, It stands to reason that if we will take one cent a pound on the cotton grown In the South, concentrate it in the hands of practical bust ness men to buy and retire cotton in the market to be held by them for the minimum prfc) tiled by us, this will guarantee & remunerative price each year. We spend no money in protecting our ootton, while the buying world sp3nds millions of dollars and makes millions of dollars robbing us of our protit8.

This, in our opinion, if prop erly appreciated by the people of the South, will solve the problem of tlx lug and maintaining a price. Let no man think that we are at al discouraged. We have j ist begun t< tight. K D Smith. Ansel to the People, c*Governor-elect Ansel has issued the following address to the people ol South Carolina!

N 1CR0 LYNGHEB' In Williamsburg County for an Attempt to Assault ON A YOUNG MATRON. She Attempted to Shoot Her Assailant* but the Pistol Failed to Work, and the Fiend Then Kan Away, But Was Caught. Another lynohing for attempted outrage oocurred near Indlantown Presbyterian Church, In Williamsburg County, about tifteen miles from Klngstree, Saturday morning, Sept. 8 James Burgess, Jr., who was the victim, a bright mulatto negro, Is \llegcd to have made an attempt on Priday before to overpower and outrage Mrs. Mary Wilson, wife of Mr. Luther Wilson, son of the late Julian Wilson, who was murdered at Coop* r's storo, in Williamsburg County, last winter, and for whtoh orlme three aogroos came very nearly being lynched, but who were permitted a lawful trial and have since paid the death penalty on the gallows at Klngstree. The attempted outrage was committed within three miles of where the older Wilson was murdered, and with this crime and attempted lynohing still fresh In his mind, Burgess attempted to oommlt an outrage upon i white woman and has taken the ronn rAnfft -tu ?- - ' iwi>u ivjuuc uu uiiu uwucr woria to join the murderers. The 8tory of the attenuated outrage *s givon the correspondent of tho News and Courier by one of the beet known oltlzens and publlo moo of Williamsburg County 1h as follows: Mr. Julian Wilson, husband of the lady above mentioned, had Burgess and another negro hauling ootton to Mr. D. N. Kevin's glnnory on Friday morning. Mr. Wilson went to the gin with the tirst load of ootton and sent the two men back with the wagon for more ootton. When the wagon left Wilson's house Burgees did not go with It, but slipped undtr the house. After the wagon had been gone some tfme Mrs. Wilson heard a noise under the house and, upon Investigation, found It to bo Burgess. She at onoe ordered him out and he went off, as she thought, Ho the ginnery. Mrs. Wilson then seoured a pistol and started to go to a uelghbot's house, as she herself was alone. As she passed down the laue on her way. Burgess is said to have stepped out from a fence corner and stopped her, at the same time making indecent proposals to her. She began to icream, and the negro attempted to ay hands upon her, whereupon Mis. Wilson drew her revolver and attempted to shoot Burgoss, but, being lervous and frighteued to suoh a <reat extent she oould not get the oUtol to lire. Burgess then made his escape and was not seen again by her. When Mr. Wilson returned he was Informed of the attempted outrage tnd an elf ?rt was made to lind Burgess, but without avail. Saturday morning two white men went to a negro house In the same territory, and found Burgess hid In it. lie was take out about midday 1 1 - j * juiu uarnen aown to a pond nearby and shot to death and left there* Who the white men were Is not mown, but It was In the broad day* tght and there were no masks used. Burgees was a bright mulatto and ' was about 19 years old. The news of the lynching It seems was kept quiet until Saturday, wheq the story ob1 tained circulation in that section. i Very Had Doath, r At Florence Miss Ainsley, the i tight year old daughter .of lliv. and Mrs. JohnG.
