Plausible Story Attracts the Attention of Chief Wilkie But it Is Denied by the Man's Biographer. The United States government it became known, has investigated a report to the effect that the Maine was blown up in Havaua harbor by an American who had been condemned to death by the Spanish, but won his freedom by destroying the American battleship. The spy who turned the story into the Secret Servioe bureau at Washington, 1). C., asserted that George B. Boynton, a - - * - - ?? 1 i ?i "soldier or ioriune ' wno uieu recently w-as the man who actually blew U]) the Maine. Horace Jfmith, biographer of Roynton, declares the story is false and that he can prove Hoynton was In Venezuela at the time of the explosion. "The Spaniards," said the informer to Chief Wilkie of the Secret Service, "were entirely unprepared for the visit of the Maine, which was sent to Havana suddenly and without warning. Consequently there was no mine attached to the buoy at which she was moored. "Capt. Gen. Dlanco and his staff did not relish having a hosti/e warship in such an advantageous position in ,the event of war with the United States, which they then regarded as at least a possibility, and it was decided to blow her up, under such monditions as might make it -appear she had been destroyed by an accidental explosion of her own magazines. A large boiler from the navy yard was taken to the arsenal and filled with powder. It was provided with a mechanism by which it would be exploded by electricity and then hermetically sealed. "The boiler was lasbed in a sling under a lighter, which was towed across the bow of the Maine -at night. When the lighter was directly in front of the battleship the lines which held the boiler were cut and it dropped into the mud. "The Spaniards then fixed on H-oynton as the person to set off the mine. He had been captured shortly before while conducting a filibustering expedition for the Cubans, whom he had aided during the ten years' war, and was then imprisoned in Cabanas Fortress. "According to the story, he was ? i- - -1 iU U..'i tried ana sentenced to ucsiui, um was offered life and liberty if he would press the button that was to destroy the Maine, and swear never to reveal the secret. He accepted these terms and on the night of Feb. 15, 1898. when the -Maine swung around until her bow was j directly over the mine, with her i keel only three or four feet above i it, he was taken to the Maehina wharf, where he threw the switch that caused the explosion. Then he was set free and left Cuba." STUDENTS STOLE CORPSE. Discontent of Suspension of Ruseball Team Causes Trouble. Discontent college students tied a naked corpse to the piano stool in the chapel in Alfred, N. Y., this week Tire affair so upset the faculty and student body that the program prepared of the last day of college year has been postponed. For several days the students had been in a sullen mood over the suspension of the baseball team, which played a game recently at a Welsvie without having obtained permission. A raid was made on an undertaking room in the town and a body taken from one of the slabs. The town authorities have taken the matter up and will make arrests, and the undertaker acting for the relatives of the corpse, will demand punishment for the violators. .? WOM AN'S BODY FOUND. Mysterious Tragedy Revealed Near Victim's Own Homo. With bullet wounds In the fare and back and the face crushed in with a piece of timber the body of Mrs. David Sapp, of Quitman, Ga., was found early Friday morning in a sink hole, about a quarter of a mile from her home. She had been missing since Monday afternoon. Just before her disappearance, it is said, neighbors heard three shots in the Sapp home, but no one was seen about the premises. When his wife failed to return Monday night, Sapp notified the police and investigation showed a lot of blood leading to a desolate spot, where the body was finally located Friday. No arrests have been made. Must Have Been Crazy. T. H. H.

SOUTH'S OPPORTUNITY THE WORLD'S NAKED MILLIONS AND SOUTH'S DUTY. To Properly Clothe the 1,500,000,OOO People In the World Would Take 42,000,000 llales of Cotton. Sometime ago The Augusta Chronicle commented on the statement of Preeident Franklin W. Hobbe of the National Association of Cotton Man" * - (hot 1# uiaciurers iu iuc i.uuv ??. would take 42,000,000 bales of cotton a year to comfortably clothe all the people of the world. Following will be found his actual words in regard to the needs of the world's naked population: It Is estimated that there are now on the earth 1,500,000,000 persons, of whom only 500,000,000 are completely clothed, while 750,000,000 are only partly clothed and 250,000 practically do not possess any clothing at all. It is farther estimated that to clothe the whole of humanity would require 42,000,000 bales of cotton each year, instead of about 17,000,000, the last year's production of the world. With the increases of machinery which have | been made, it is evident that the consumption of the mills of the world on full time would not be less than 20,000,000 bales. The query thus arises: Where will the additional amount of cotton needed for the world and its increasing popula. tion come from? I think I am not too optimistic to believe that from the present acreage the American production could be doubled if proper methods wene used, and it is along such lines that our friends in the South must work to secure the best results for themselves and the spinners. Tim PhrnniHe further says the South is producing a,bout twothirds of the world's supply of raw cotton. We manufacture into goods about one-fifth of ?vli:.t we produce; tu? country as a whole 'ues i boil' one-third of the total domestic production. Two-thirds of our cotton is exported in the raw state, and very little of it returns to us in manufactured form; none of it should d-o so. Perhaps cne.half maybe two-thirds or more, of th.ei cotton goods we make. including the products of cotton seed, in the makng of which we have a monopoly, is for those people of the world living beyond the borders of the I United States. Americans as a J whole wear more and better clothes than any people in the world; they consume more cotton for clothing and other purposes per capita than any other people. Th-e chief reason j for this lies in the superior pros) perity and intelligence of our ranks land file. Contributing causes are i that the product is produced and, for our uses, largely manufactured at home; therefore it is cheap and available. During many years the mind of the Southern farmer has been centered on some form of retrenchment. Variations in price received for what they produce has led them to seek various means for using their "con_ trol" of their chief product to overcome and outwit the natural laws of supply and demand. For the purpose of meeting adverse conditions due to current influences, retrenchment, as embodied in reduction of supply by planting less and "holding" the product for the price desired, is a valuable weapon, and the use of it is altogether excusable. Tn view of our wide acreage, less than ten percent, of which is planted in cotton, or with present labor conditions could be, it is essential to the full prosperity of the Southern farmer that he adopt the policy of "living at home.'' But a little of the energy poured out in the usually futile effort to persuade the farmer to cut his cotton acreage or to hold his bales for a fixed price would reap a greater benefit if directed in securing better market for his product. Those well-intentioned peopie who npunnwphize on the theory that we have a "monoply" of cotton production argue from a folse premise. At host we only "control" th>3 raw staple. Today, half as much cotton as we raise is produced outside the United States; and the major portion of it is of such superion quality that our own mills find it necessary to import it. by shiploads for mixture with our own. If Egypt, India, Chiny Brazil, Mexico and Turkestan can produce 5,000,000 hales of cotton annually they can produce 20,000,000. Today, th-ey are producing more than the entire world produced in 1850. Science has been so co-mingled with business in the cotton bottoms of the Nile that the harvest per acre there is growing by leaps and bounds every year. Tired of its dependence on this country for the bulk of cotton used in its hundreds of mills making cotton to be exported over her wide dominions, Great Britain has supplied her finest brains with ample means to develop the industry in a half dozen of hor likely colonies. If outside production grows for the next 20 years as it has for the i past 20, in 1931 the fickle Nile will have more effect on the price oi cotton than a South-wide epidemic of the boll weevil would have. Then, the South would have to bow abey 9 TRIED TO BRIBE Tkwiu B. F<M*r Charged With I>jm% j le Cemgl Hah. H. Erur. SWEARS OUT WARRANT ? . 1 B. F. Kelly, Secretary of New South Carolina Dispensary Winding I'y Commissions, Makes Affidavit for the Arrest of the Attorney for the Winding l'p Commission. T. B. Felder, of Atlanta, will bo Indicted on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the state of South Carolina by the new dispensary commission. This announcement was made in Columbia Monday by B. F. Kelly, secretary of the commission, following a lone session. Colonel Felder has been ordered to appear at Columbia Mondey and tell what he knows of the affairs of the old state dispensary and dispensary grafters. Colonel Felder did not appear as ordered and the announcement was made that he will be indicted. The secretary charges that: B. F. Kelly, secretary for the hew South Carolina Dispensary windingup commission, went to Newberry from Columbia Monday afternoon, and, appearing before a magistrate, swore cot a warrant for the arrest of Thos. 'B. Felder, of Atlanta, and former attorney for the old winding..p ccraiv.^oion. The warrant charged Mr. Felder with attempting to bribe Hub. H. Evans, a member of the old board of directors of the state dispensary, and who is now resting under a charge pending in the courts. The warrant further changes Felder with conspiracy to cheat and defraud the state of South Carolina by "offering to or promising to the said H. H. Evans certain gifts or gratuities, with intent t>o influence his act, vote, opinion, decision of judgment of matters which were pending before him as a member of the board of directors. The warrant was sworn out before Magistrate J. C. Sample, and has been turned over to Sheriff M. iM. Buford for execution. Mr. Kelly returned to Columbia Monday, and it is understood that, when the warrant is served on Mr. Felder in Atlanta if he deeJines to respond to the service, steps will be taken at once to get extradition papers issued by the governor of this state on Govern-* or 'Brown of Georgia, to have Col* Felder brought to this state to answer *?e charge. M 0f> A - T i rv yv -m% <1 I O AO 1?/1 ltd anc? to Livt'rjiuui ui iiiovutu jvu present commercial king?. We hear much about "cutting clown the crop," and "holding ycfcir cotton for cents a pound." Wo also hear a good deal about im? proving its quality, reducing the cost of its production by improving and conserving tho soil, by intensifying its cutivation, by minimizing tho waste of effort in gathering and preparing it for market. All that is good and encouraging. Hut we hear little about extending Its sale to the quarter of a billion of naked and three-quarters of a billon of the semi-human beings on this globe. Civilizaton's torch is opening the eyes of the world to a sense of modesty: it is inflaming a desire for those comforts which clothing affords. This is certain: Henceforth cotton is going to supply the product for making at least 75 per cent of the clothing worn by man. Who will supply the clothes? Somebody will have to do it. Will it be the people and the favored soils f the south, or will it be Egypt, li dm, Turkestan, Prv.*l or Argent i n a ? It is ''or this country to say. In the great contest we have six-fold advantages. We are tne pioneers. We have the best climate, and soils sufficient to grow 1 00,000,000 bales, under present methods of rulMvaton.We can remain in the ascendency. It is a question which should not he overlooked by Southern congressmen. l>Mt them insist on the (government taking the matter in ehargo and cutting the way for our cotton products into the farthermost corners of the world. Let us cease to dream about nullifying the earthcovering laws of supp?y and demand which we haven't. Even our "con_ trol" is becoming doubtful. Down in the state of San Paulo, Brazil, *r> per cent, of the world's coffee ie produced. Packed by its national government, which in turn has the baching of several international banking houses, they set aside the laws of supply and demand, by a policy of retrenchment that not only regulated production but casta into the sea all over production. In two years tho farm prloe of the product was doubled. But what is the result? The United States is planning to break the combine by making, it more profitable for the coffee growers outside of Brazil to supply our demand*. This once accomplished the growers , of Brazil will bo given a set-back be1 side which all their present advan* tages will be as naught. The South and the United States , should take lessons from that pecul. iar situation. i e ? ?.>v
