HOUSE CARRIED AWAY
The Pathetic Story of the Drowning
% of a Mother and Her Two Young
Children as Described by an Older
Son, Who Also Battled For His
lilfe in the Water.
j The Newe and Courier Bays five
persons were drowned off Wappoo
Mills, in St. Andrew's parish in the
storm of Sunday night The dead
are as follows: Mrs Lottie Richter,
Mary Richter, Mrs. Martha Qoodson,
Charles Goodson and Lillian Stender.
The death of these persons was from
drowning dn the high waters of Wappoo
cut late Sunday night, after they
had been driven from the small cottage
In which they were housed. This
cottage was the home of Dennis Cassidy,
watchman at Wappoo. Both
r*aanfriv and his wife were saved af
9 ter a fierce fight with the wind and
waves.
The Cassidy residence was washed
away by the high waters, and those
In the home who were saved made
r their escape by floating on the top
of the roof and upon a small outhouse.
These were rescued by a negro
farmer by the name of Ford, who
gave them clothes and food and assisted
them on their way to Charleston.
A peculiar feature of this terrible
affair was that none of the occupants
of the house were clothed
at all. They had undressed for bed
before the storm broke upon them
and what night clothes they wore
were torn from them by the wind
and the waters.
It is a sad story that is told of this
drowning. Mrs Lottie Richter was a
young women, just about twenty
years of age, and her little daughter,
Mary, who was also drowned, was but
a babe of three months. Little Lillian
c+An#iar wn? a ho ut. two years of age,
m ^wuuva ff mm w- ? w
" as was Charles Goodson. Mrs. Good- I
w son, mother of the yonug boy, was
about thirty-six years of age, and re^
sided at Waycross, Ga. There was a
large crowd in the small cottage
that was destroyed, the Cassidys,
John Stender, his wife and child, Mr.
and Mrs. Rlchter and their two children
and others.
From the story of the fearful
occurrence, It seems that as the wa*
ter gradually rose higher and higher
the occupants of the cottage in a
measure were prepared for the worst
and both Stender and Richter sat in
the windows ready to take to the water
and swim for their lives. When
the house was lifted from its foundations
and fell upon one side, the various
occupants clung to parts of the
0 wreckage as best they could?some
were able to undergo the fearfiG or
deal and others perished. In his
arms, John Stender clung tenaciously
to his little daughter until a
heavy wave burst over him and dislodged
the child. Endeavoring to
keep up with the floating house, he
made dive after dive for the little
girl, but to no avail. She was drown^
ed and her body was recovered in the
marshes not far from the scdne of the
tragedy. John Stender was enabled
to save himself by clinging to parts
of the floating house.
John Rlchter, his wife, Lottie
^ Richter and their two children, May
and Allen were in the house. In
the window sat the husband and
father, shielding his two children, after
his wife had admonished him to
tae care of them and she would take
take care of them and she would look
out for herself. When the house fell
John Richter was somewhat hurt in
the crash, but he held on to the two
children. Floating for awhile on
part of the wreckage, Richter was
enabled to keep May and Allen above
|water, but before long he was struck
by a piece of timber, blown against
him, and knocked him almost senseless.
His hold on the children was*
broken and they sank into the water
below. But upon recovering himself
i somewhat, Richter made a number
of dives, which were only partially
successfully. He succeeded in finding
his son Allen and brought him
to a place on the roof, to which they
were holding. Bait without avail
were his efforts to recover his daugh
ter May.
Douglass Goodson, a young lad of
13 summers, who survived the terrible
tragedy, told a graphic and
pathetic story of the death of his
mother and little brother Charles:
/'Mother and us boys, Leroy, five
years old, and myself, went to Wappoo
mills about two weeks ago to
spend a vacation with Mrs. Bertha
Stender. We had a very pleasant
time until Sunday afternoon. With
lis at the time of the tragedy were
a, IMr and Mrs. Dennis Cassidy, both of
whom were saved. Sunday evening
the rain began to fall very hard and
In a few hours the entire house in
which we were staying was sur|
rounded by water. All of us became
j freightened and ran out on the piazza,
when the floor of the house
fell in. The roof followed shortly
afterwards, Then the front porch.
Our lanterns were blown out by tho
terrific wind and we were left in utter
darkness. In the midst of an oni

Senator Smith Declares that if New

o'clock Friday morning for the big
farmers' rally. Much to the regret
of those present E. W. Dabbs, president
of the State Farmers' union was
unable to be on hand, and United
States Senator E. D. Smith was the
only speaker.
J. G. L#. White, president of the
Chester County Farmers' union, presided
and seated upon the stand were
Senator P. L. Hardin and Col. T. J.
Cunningham. Mr White, in an interesting
talk, in which he charged
his hearers to exercise greater vigilance
in endeavoring to obtain a better
price for cotton, introduced the
speaker of the day
\Senator Smith began by referring
to previous visits to Shester and the
rapid passing of time since he enlisted
in the warfare for better prices
for cotton. He ridiculed the "Back
to the Farm" movement as the conception
of fellows who are too lazy
to work and want the prices of the
commodities of life reduced.
He then proceeded to show that the
South is the only place in the world
exactly suited for the growing of cotton
of the kind that the world requires,
and said the total lack of
business system is the only reason
why the farmers do not obtain a living
price for their product. He told
of how the merchant and the horse
dealer sell their goods at a price
which includes payment of every
necessary expense plus a profit, and
said the farmer should adopt a similar
plan. If the New England Yankees
had the marketing of the cotton
crop, he declared, prices would soon
soar to thirty and fifty cents.
The Brussels conference of spinners,
Senator Smith declared, was a
deliberate effort to lower the price
of cotton by an agreement to cut
down the output of the spinning
mills. This was followed by the issuing
of false bulletins from the office
of t'he Secretary of Agriculture.
He told of his visit to Secretary Wilson
and the lattere disclaimer of any
attempt to bear the cotton market,
also his promise that such ? report
should not be issued again. This was
followed, however, a month later by
another report of similar tenor, the
effect being to lower cotton $20 a
bale.
Senator Smith told of what senators
from the northwest did when it
was proposed to bring Wheat In duty
free from Canada. They rose as
one man and fought the proposition,
yet when a combine of forces beat
down the price of the South'3 principal
commodity the North sits by supinely,
he said. Men had come to
him, he said, asking him to let up in
his fight on Secretary Wilson on account
of the secretary's age. He realized
this, he said, but his people's
happiness and comfort meant more to
him than the aged secretary's personal
reputation.

turned over on its side, mother
the Cassidys, my brothers and myself
clinging desperately to the side.
Fortunately this side fell uppermost
and we were able to grab hold of
several l>eams which stood upright
out of the wreckage.
"Mr. and Mrs. Cassidy and my
brother Deroy managed to find some
protection under a portion of the wall
left standing, but mother and we other
boys were unable to make our
way to the same spot. During the
whole time mother talked soothingly
to her three boys and two or three
times cried softly. The house began
to f loao dttnwehaOrhhta.pFstkgKv
to float down the river and it appeared
to me that we passed a fourmasted
schooner somewhere during
the terrible ordeal The wind blew
harder and harder and it became
very difficult to hang to out posts.
Suddenly mother gave a low moan,
and with Charles, who is two y^?*rs
of age, clinging to her neck, was
thrown overboard when the house
g<ave a terrible lurch. I tried to
catch her but my senses left me.
When I came to the wind was blowing
as hard as ever, and the next
thing I knew we were floating over a
portion of the new bridge, which I
found out afterwards had been
wrecked. It appeared to me then
that the wind carried the house to
a marsh. That was about 1 o'clock
Monday morning. We remained in
this position until 4 o'clock and then
with great difficulty, made our way
to the home of an old colored woman,
who gave us something to eat. We
remained with this woman until this
morning at 10 o clock."

SIZE OF PRESENT CROP
Estimated at Nearly Thirteen Million
llales.?Condition on August 25th
Shows (heat Falling Off Since the
Report of Condition of Crop Made
on July 25th.
A total production of 12,918,200
bales of cotton as the final yield this
year is indicated by the Department
of Agriculture's official report of the
condition of the growing crop of
August 25, which the crop reporting
board, from reports from Its correspondents
and agents throughout the
cotton belt, estimated Friday at 73.2
per cent of a normal.
This estimate based on a ratio of
the average yield for the past ten
years to the average condition of the
crop on August 25, for the past ten
years, would mean a final yield of
181.65 pounds per acre on the planted
area of approximately 34,000,000
acres, allowing for an abandoned
acreage of 1,000,000 and provided
the crop does not decline or improve
from the date the condition was estimated
to time of picking.
These estimates of production,
while unofficial, were reckoned by
the official method adopted by tne
Department of Agriculture and used
by the crop reporting board in its
monthly estimates of the final yield
o^ the Important cereal crdps of
the country.
Unofficial advices from thee otton
belt indicate the most important declines
in the crop were due to severe
droughts, hot winds and worms. Reports
indicate that heavy shedding
caused by hot weather was the chief
factor of deterioration in practically
all States, except Louisiana and Mississippi,
where there has been excessive
rain. Heat and drought very
greatly damaged cotton during the
month, especially in Texas and Oklahoma.
Since the date on which the condition
was taken?August 25?there
have been rains which greatly relieved
conditions and considerable improvement
is looked for when the
October report is issued.
The condition of the growing cotton
crop on August 25th was 73.2
per cent of a normal, as compared
with 89.1 per cent, on July 25, 1911,
72.1 per cent on August 25, 1910,
68.7 per cent on August 25, 1910,
and 63.7 per cent on August 29,
1909, and 73.5 per cent, the average
of the past ten years on August 25,
according to the crop reporting board
of the bureau of statistics of the
United States Department of Agriculture,
estimated from the reports
of the correspondents and agents of
the bureau.

PLEASED BY REPORT
SENATOR SMITH'S CONTENTION
CONFIRMED BY IT.
Says He Was Glad of Opportunity to
Protest Against Reckless Estimate
of tlie South's Great Crop.
The State says when asked for a
statement in reference to the government
condition report published by
the United States department of agriculture
and the advance in the price
of cotton, Senator Smith, who arrived
in Columbia from Chester Friday
night said:
"Of course it was very gratifying
to me that my contention was right.
And also to see that the telegrams
from the commissioners of agriculture
were practically verified by the
report from the agricultural department
at Washington.

of being in a position to protest
against the agricultural department
at Washington using its immense official
power in such an outrageously
reckless manner.
"I believe that conditions as they
actually exist warranted a lower condition
report. I have not had the
pleasure of meeting any of the California
cotton growers, but it is ludicrous
and perhaps from another
view, more than ludicrous for that
State to be set down seriously in a
cotton crop condition report as being
100. It might be interesting and enlightening
to know what the comparison
of the present crop in California
was based upon. It has been in only
the last two or three years that California
has made any cotton at all. I
presume the department scarcely sent
an agent from the East across the
continent to California to estimate
the condition of the crop in California,
as compared with the condition
of the crop in the East. However, in
spite of all this, it is gratifying to
suppose that the secretary of agriculA

of ascertaining through his own personal
supervision, some approximation
of the real condition of affairs.
"It is absurd, even now, 10 predict
a yield of the present crop with any
degree of accuracy, for the reason
that the deterioration is still continuing.
In most States the fertilizer
are now exhausted. And therefore
the plant being at its maximum in
size or fruitage has little or no
chance, under any weather conditions,
of increasing its fruitage, but
It is subject to deterioration. There
are limited areas in the cotton belt
where on account of the richness of
the soil, the plant may continue to
bear and a late frost might add
somewhat to the yield in these localities.
But I think I voice the opinion
of every practical cotton grower
when I say that the major part of
the cotton area where fertilizers are
used have reached the limit of any
further improvement and is subject
now to no change in condition ex
copt on? of deterioration.
"I think the September report will
show a still further decrease in condition
and a consequent shrinkage in
the guesses as to the size of the crop.
I take this occasion to state to all
harties interested that even were a
15,000,000 bale crop made, he world
have need for every pound of it.
And if the value of cotton is to
be measured by the price of other
articles 15 cents a pound is little
enough in all reason." *

SHADOW OF THE WEEVIL
Certain Kinds of Cotton Used by
Some of the. Mills in this State Can

The State says the cotton manufactures
of South Carolina are facing
a serious situation as the result
of the announcement that the boll
weevil cotton quarantine will be
strictly enforced arter sept. iu. it is
said that the stock of raw cotton of
many of the textile plants in the
State is verd low, and that a majoritl
of the mills will depend on shipments
that were to come from the boll weevil
territory.
It is the Intention of the State entomologist
to enforce strictly to the
letter the act against the shipment of
cotton into this State from the boll
weevil territory after September. In
the event the law is enforced, it is
said that many of the mills may have
to close operation
As already announced, Ellison A.
Smyth, the president of the Cotton

with the State entomologist and the
commissioner of agriculture to discuss
the situation.
The following letter asking for information
on the situation has been
received at the State department of
agriculture from a well known cotton
firm of Greenville.
"We have taken notice of the statement
in the papers recently issued by
Mr Conradi, State entomologist, in
regard to shipping cotton from the
boll weevil infected districts into
South Carolina and note that the
State will quarantine against such
points actively beginning September

"We have addressed 'Ml*. Conradi
asking that he advise us what territory
the State considers weevil infected.
We have also asked that he
advise us where we could procure a

We are very desirous of working in
harmony with the State authorities
in this matter, and as we bring a
great deal of. cotton from Alabama
and Mississippi into the State, wo do
not wish to conflict in any manner.
"Mr. Conardi is at present out of
the State, and we are unable to learn
when he will return. If you can give
us the information requested of him,
we will greatly appreciate it."
The situation in which the textile
industry in South Carolina finds itself
as a result of the cotton quarantine
has arisen a little earlier than
was expected, according to the State
commissioner of agriculture Mr. Watson
said that Just exactly this situation
has been expected for some years
by the department and at Asheville
in June, at at several places since,
notably at Darlington on Friday last,
he called particular attention of manufactures
and growers to the necessity
and sound business sense of raising
upland staple such as the Columbia,
Keenan, Hartsville, Coker and
Webber, for consumption in our
home mills in place of Mississippi catton
which is now being brought in to
the extent of upward of 400,000 bales
out of the total of about 765,000
bales now aannually consumed in the
South Carolina mills.
The attention of Lewis W. Parker
and of the Textile Manufactures' association,
he said, has been directed
to this particular and uneconomic
condition of affairs for the past two
years, and this and the knowledge
that the spreading of the boll weevil
over the Mississippi delta would under
the law close the source of supply,
has been the reason for the vigorous
campaign that has been pushed
particularly for this year, with a view
tc getting the farmer to raise his cotton
from selected seed furnished him
and to sell it directly to the mills.
The knowledge that this cotton
would arise has been at the back of a
vigorous effort along this line and
the commissioner adds, the knowledge
that the boll weevil is hastening
at the rate of 75 miles a year
towards South Carolina, has caused
him to endeavor to shape the agricultural
development policy in this
State to the end that the people
would be in a state of unpreparedvo
