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.

Mr. E. 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

Mississippi, North Carolina and
n none of these States are there conUtlons

It Is absolutely Csuloldal for those

espeotlve stations. The trade resizes
that th 8 Is the debt paving pe

1 have given the names of the ex

so that anyone wishing to Inquire why
they are and as >o their Btauding in
their several States and as to the conditions

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.

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
