COCAINE EVIL Spreads Rapidly Among the Negroes in Prohibition Territory. WORSE THAN WHISKEY White Men Connect Themselves Willi Clubs nhd I'se Whiskey Itchiiul ? -- * i.... These Doors, Wnlle i>csru?s .uc Taking More and More to the Tin hit of Cocaine. The Charlotte Observer says the records show that there the arrests for selling whiskey have been gradually decreasing within the past several months, the report from tho office of. the chief of police for one month not long ago, showing that only one arrest had been made for his offense. The comparative rec.1 ds of the last six months of this ear and the last six months of 19 01) rould doubtless disclose the fact that he arrests have decreased from 2i? | iaj t>0 per cent, while there lias been uo material reduction in the amount o? drinking that is going on. Students of conditions here would not dare lay to the door of the policemen of the city a cnarge of dereliction of their duty In this respect. The men who were on tho force a year ago or two years ago for that matter and who were principally sent but for the specific purpose of giving chase to unseeing tigers aro still on the force and are as agile and as adept in this service as ever. The main trouble seems to bo that there is no game now in comparison to the quantity in former times. Of course, whiskey is being sold here illegally, but for some reason or other officers have been unable to go out and pet the offenders with the ease of rl o vc V# ? l?*/l wtij o. "There are still blind tigers here,' aid an officer, "but the sale of whis-i ;ey has largely decreased anions the pliites because of the prevalence of he so-called social clubs. We fre luently corner a defendant in me court for being drunk in all tostificadum proceedings and in nearly every ease he swears that he ordered the whiskey as a member of one of the many of these clubs. There is 110 telling how much drinking goes on behind tho doors of these social organisations. "Tho large enrollment of membership which they claim and the frequency of new organizations of the same sort indicate that those who have been forced at other times to ,buy their whiskey from a cheap blind tiger and take chances of getting almost any old sort of thing to drink have found it pays better or order -through these clubs. To my mind this explains the decrease in the number of arrests for blind tigers. But there is another and better j reason. "Among the negroes who were the most frequent defendants in the city court for selling whiskey illegally afier prohibition became effective, a substitute for drink has been found I tn the unlimited use of cocaine here, and I believe it is the greatest evil that confronts us today. Nobody but ^se in such capacities as a policen can fr.llv understand the perils the use" of cocaine so universally ong the criminal class of negroes. 'Any ofkcer will tell you that he would choose to make a raid on a dozen blin 1 tiger shops than to enter one cocaine den where there are several negroes congregated and half under the influence of the drug. Tt requires all the mental practice and dexterity of body that can be com - - ' inanded to got away mini w. these places with your life. Cocaine Absolutely crazes a negro. Whiskey doesn't. We have brought negroes to the station here who were totally insensible to pain, totally beyond all Aear, in a condition of stupidity oi Undue vividness that made him Worse than a boast in ferocity. "I have been told by one negro *vho used to consume a deal of co caine and who (juit it. that when h< took a whiff of the white granules I be dose seemed to race to the toj " * his head and there hreak lik< rteed lightning and when this ef ct was felt be said a steam englni ould have had no terrors for him "It is very evident to us that, co has supplanted whiskey anion, the negroes. They like the in flume better and It is making for the cit the worst sort of negro citizens. \V bare no way to stop it. There is n process by which we can find ou V/her* they got the goods and pr? teed to stop the traffic. "They make a great profit on th *vMc e, too. The JointB that sell ( jn&ke from RO to 100 per cent, o every sale they make. These n< |r*oes buy coca'ne In quantities va jeel for instance, at $.'t and then pui chase twice the same amount c Aceianelld. They compound the t\v drug*, and wrap a whiff in a littl piece of paper, retailing each of the* for 2*1 cents. This small amour v-111 Inst a neero about a day if h J? j ?st beginning (lie habit, wherea Sf he has been at the game long, till lOQiilre two or three times thf ccuch every day."

They Fans in Front of the Agricultural Untitling aiul Have Their Picture Taken. The prize corn boys are having a l?ig time in Washington at the expense of Uncle Sam. The Washingion correspondent of The News and Courier says eleven boys from as many Southern States, each boy with an ear of corn in his hand, posed for a picture in front or tne oik building of the agricultural department Tuesday. They were the State prize winners in the Hoys' Corn Club contests of the year, and Jerry .Moore, of .South Carolina, was the piesident of the lot. In each of the States represented boys had worked each a measured acre of land, planted in corn. The best yield in each State had taken the first prize, and the boys, none of whom is over 1 6, were 011 a trip to Washington, where they were to be introduced to the President and the Secretary of Agriculture and then be shown the sights of the city. It was the culmination of the year's work, a work the importance of which can scarcely be overestimated. It has alreaay awakened the South to the knowledge that it can ?- - ?... i* I raise corn ana mane iuuinry uy it. The older farmers are being startled by the way the hoys are beating them on the eorn club idea and it is having a material effect on the corn production of the whole South. The successful boys from each State were not always the ones that raised the biggest crops. The department. of agriculture, in outlining the contest, made it a requisite that j the largest crop should be raised with the least expenditure. The high j score in the whole group was made I by Jerry Moore. Hut he was not j considered the most successful. He j had raised 228 3-4 bushels, but it I had cost him 4 3 cents a bushel to do it. There was a boy from Arkan- | sas who raised only 110 bushels, but lie did it at cost of S cents a bushel, j lie was considered the real thing in ! "corn clubdom." The following are the names and add res-es ef the winners of the trip ' lo (lie Capital and also the yields of 1 their respective acres and the cost i per bush il: Hughey A.

SAVKS THE CONSFIj AT Ql'EREO I ! j lie Is Charged With Fibbing to Help Paper Trust. The paper committee of the American Newspaper Publishers' Associa' t ion has sent a letter to the Government ?iriff board, stating that the T'nited States consul at Quebec, in i reporting upon the available pulp'wood supply for American paper I mills, from private forests in QueI hoc, "has suppressed data that had 'boon furnished to the consul by the (highest official authority in that provlnce, and that the consul has mis. represented tho situation." t The consul's report said the recent prohibitions "will not have the effect of reducing the quantity of pulpwood ' for export for some years to conn 3 and perhaps never," implying that tho present needs of tho American ' markets, one million cords of pulp.J wood per annum, could he obtained from private forests. Hut according to the committee the suppressed datt i from otiicial sources showed that onl; ; 1,130,000 cords per annum, undo glpiesent restrictions, would be avail 0 I able for the American market. y i The letter charges that an area o 0 180,000 square miles of public for 0!ests lias been withdrawn as a sonrc t cf supply and that the private forest now available measure approximate!

HEAD BEATEN TO A PULP The l)e?d Itody of (he Ohl Mun Wa> Found in a Ditch Where It llml Been Dragged by the Person Who Had Foully Murdered Him. As a result of an Inquest neiu iaif Sunday afternoon over the bloody remains of Jake Wallace, an old and half-witted negro, near Langley, JIid Lacy, a young negro, is In the AikeL lr.il charged with one of the most foul murders In the history of Aiken cou n ty. Late Saturday the body of Wallace was found in the woods about 30! I yards from the home of lieu ilankin ; son, a white man. near Lamar's kaoI!n beds, by some boys who were out bunting. Their dogs trailed the , body and directed them to It. 1 k( | boys were frightened and immedi j ately gave the alarm. Beforre finding the body, they had i picked up a razor and a pistol, bui i neither had been used in killing the old man, and it is presumed that they fell out of his pocket. The pis- | tol was loaded, hut L?d uot been j fired. At first it was not believed j that there had been a murder, as aD investigatiou was not made until af* ter midnight, when the surrounding* could not be fully taken into consideration. Sunday morning the Investigation was resumed, and everything pointed fo a foul murder. It was fouud thai on Saturday old man Wallace was at Pope Xorris' blacksmith chop and that Jim Lacy came up In a buggy, hitching his mule. In a few minutes Hie oid man, who was about 05 years old, went away in the direction of where he was killed. Jim Lacy started in the same direction, and two witnesses state thai they saw liim catch up with the old man a short distance from the shop The Indications are that the old man was killed a few minutes later. Lacj admits talking with the old man ai the shop, hut says he left him there, and he says he was at the shop bin ten minutes, wiiereas oiner wiiue&at-csay that his mule was tied there 4* minutes or an hour. The murder was evidently com mitted in the public road, as th* scene of a dilliculty is plainly visible The instrument used was something blunt, evidently a club, and the old man's head was beaten almost to b pulp. After the neinous crime hao been committed the perpeiratoi dragged the body'some 150 yard* and threw it into a ditch, where 11 was found by the boys a short time later. ~ " * ?
