Going to Chester With Growl
of Fans to Sec Hall Game Meets
With Terrible Fate When Trestle
Falls Through, Carrying Two Cars
Into Stream.
One of the most fearful wrecks in 1
the history of Chester County occurred
Wednesday afternoon at five
o'clock, when the westbound Lancas- >
ter and Chester mixed freight and
passenger train, loaded with passengers
for tho Chester-Dillon baseball
game, was wrecked at Hooper's i
Creek, between Knox's and Orr's,
seven miles from Chester. One mem- 1
ber of tho crew, Elijah Heath, a negro,
was instantly killed, and V. II.
Craft, of Anderson, died later from
injuries. Nearly fifty of the crew
and passengers were injured, several
of whom will probably die. V. Ii. <
Craft, of Anderson, died while being
carried to Chester. 1
The engine, tender, and six freight 1
cars passed over the bridge in safety.
A coal car was next, and this 1
seems to have jumped the track and l
cut the ties of the bridge badly, with
the result that when the passenger I
coaches and two box cars reached the i
trestle the structure was badly torn t
up, and the passenger coaches drop- t
pod from a sheer height of fifty feet t
into the bed of the stream. t
Engineer John Stewman, warned
by his air brakes that something was 1
wrong, looked back and saw the cars t
piled in tho stream. lie made his
way to a nearby house, where there t
was a phone. He was instructed by t

and practically every physician and
nurse in Chester was hurried to the <
scene. i
News of the disaster reached the
baseball mounds while the champion- i
ship contests was at its height, and :
hundreds handed to the scene of the
disaster in automobiles and other vehicles.
The sight that met the eyes
of those who reached the spot first
was appalling. Scores were fastened
underneath the battered cars and
screaming in agony and fear.
The first stop necessary to effect
the rescue of the wounded was to
build a bridge out of the wreckage
and climb from car to car and take
out the wounded as rapidly as they
could he reached. Many acts of heroism
in tho work of rescue were performed.
and there were many instances
of solf-sacrifice as the physicians
proceeded to treat the injured,
some declaring that others were more
seriously hurt, and urging the physicians
and nurses to leavo them until
others were treated.
The list of the dead and injured
is as follows:

House for Immoral Purposes?Policeman
Sees ller and Investigates.
Charged with criminally assaulting
Sunday night a young white girl,
who, it is claimed, had been kept in
his house for several nights for immoral
relations with white men, Leo
Wilson, a negro hack man, was arrested
by the Greenville police and
turned over to the sheriff for incarceration
in the county jail Tuesday.
On the face of the allegations, the
case is one of the most deplorable
that has even been brought to light
by the Greenville authorities and
brings to the front once again a serious
problem which the place have
had to face for some time.
Monday afternoon Privates ratterson
and Smith observed a small white
girl enter the rear door of a negro
dive near the Southern Railway passenger
station. They promptly took
charge of the child and soon learned
from her a few facts that later led to
tho arrest of the negro hackman.
The girl was carried to the police
station and was there confronted by
the chief and the Inspector of Police,
to whom she told a story of shame.
From the police station the girl
was carried before Magistrate Samuel
Bradley, where she made an affidavit.
setting forth the charges
against the negro hackman. Upon
this affidavit and one from another
negro hackman which corroborated
in certain details, the story told by
the girl. Magistrate Stradley issued
an arrest warrant for Lee Wilson.
He was placed under arrest and
transferred to the co%nty jail.
In her affidavit the girl alleges
that she is fifteen years of age and
will be 1(5 in December; that she was
born in Durham, N. C., and raised
in Columbia. S. C.; for the past four
or live months has been making her
home in Greenville; that on Friday
night she was taken to tho home of
Lee Wilson, where she was kept that
n i slit, Saturday night. and Sunday
night; that white 111011 were brought
to this house ,by Lee Wilson for the
purpose of having unlawful relations
with her; that Sunday night the negro
oanie inlo her room and overpowered
tier; that she was not permitted
to leave the house unlil about
nine o'clock Tuesday morning.
The child was turned over to the
Salvation Army and will he cared for
by this organization. It is stated
that she lived in Greenville heretofore
and that her mother died at the
Salvation Army emergency hospital
about two ye?rs ago. The girl's father,
it is said, lives in Columbia, but
has had nothing to do with his
daughter since the death of the mother.
At the time the girl lived in
Greenville with her mother they
worked at one of the cotton mills
and since the child went back to
Greenville, it is said, she has worked
at a mill near the city.

The annual Filbert picnic in York
County Friday, which was attended
by five thousand people or more, was
a big success. The meeting was featured
by the declaration of Governor
Hlease that he is "hands off" in the
Gubernatorial race; an attack on the

The crowd present was not only
from York County, but came from adjoining
counties as well as North
Carolina. In spite of the intense heat
the great company of men and women
listened patiently while the
candidates for Governor held their
preliminary skirmish. All the candidates
for Governor present were given
close attention, and it would be
hard to say which was the favorite,
as all who spoke were treated most
respectfully by the large crowd of
voters who were present.
The absence of t inted States Senator
10. 1). Smith was regretted. He
sent a letter to the chairman stating
that important measures, the tariff
and currency legislation, held him in
Washington. Getters of tegret were
also read from R. I. Manning, of
Sumter, and John G. Clinckscales, of
Spartanburg, both of whom are
candidates for Governor and who
were among those invited. lOach of
the speakers were given the best of
attention and accorded a complimentary
reception, as stated above. If
the crowd had a favorite it was not
manifest.
Governor Hlease spoke last in the
afternoon, a threatening rain storm
cutting his sneech short, lie told the
crowd that lie was "hands off" in the
race for Governor. He stated that he
did not thini' John L. MeLaurin had

people ought to treat him right; that
the record of M. D. Smith was shown
in the legislature journals; complimented
Charles Carroll Sinims, ol
Barnwell, and declared he was haiuB

Governor Mease told the peopU
that if his successor was not one whe
would carry out the policies of the
people that from the time of the primary
until he gave up oflice to take
his seat in the United States Senate
"ho would turn them loose so fasl

Sum at Disposal of llanks of
Farming District*?To Meet lleavy
Demand for Currency in the Fall
When Crops Are Harvested.
From $25,000,000 to $50,000,000
of government funds will be deposited
in the national banks of the South
and West at once by Secretary MeAdoo
to facilitate the movement of
crops. Federal, State and municipal
bonds and prime commercial paper
will bo accepted as security for the
money, upon which the hanks will
pay 2 per cent, interest.
The motive of Secretary MeAdoo
in establishing this new policy is to
anticipate the money stringency in
tho late summer and fall, which invariably
accompanies the marketing
and movement of crops, especially
when the crops are unusually large,
as the harvest now beginning forecasts.
lie intends to take time by the
forelock and prevent or minimize the
usual tightness of money.
In a statement Thursday the secretary
made the significant answer that
| government bonds would be accented
as par as security for the new deposits
and that the additional money
would he placed only with hanks
which hav taken at least 4 0 per
cent, of their authorized circulation.
rnited States 2 per cent, bonds,
serving as security for most of the
national hank circulation, have been
depressed recently to no wlow market
records, dropping to i)f? 3-1 during
the past few days. The secretary's
willingness to accept these
bonds at par as security for the $25,000,000
to $30,000,000 of promised
deposits and the inducement to the
national banks to increase their circulation
up to the 40 per cent, limit
is expected to help in restoring the
parity of the depressed 2's by creating
a now market for them.
For the first time in history the
government will accept prime commercial
paper as security for deposits.
This privilege will be granted,
announced the secretary, in order to
make these special deposits already
within their reach.
"The commercial paper submitted,"
added Mr. McAdoo, "shall lirst
be passed upon and approved by the
' clearing house committees of the
cities in which the banks offering
such paper may be located. All com1
inerclnl paper and bonds must fln5
ally be passed upon and accepted by
the secretary."
Approved commercial paper will
be accepted as security for the depos'
its at 03 per cent of its face value
and high class State, municipal and
1 other bonds, exclusive of government
bonds, at 75 per cent, of their mar3
ket value.
3 The additional deposits will be
f placed with the national banks in the
r two or three principal cities in each

is in progress and where the demand

v* w.*v>^ i w i iiiv/? iii^s urn vi ujm muhi
conveniently can be met. The secretary
said It would not be practicable
" to scatter the deposits among the
smaller cities, especially in view of
the character of securities necessary.
e The banks will be required to re_
turn the money to the public treas_
ury when the crops have been moved.
^ The present suggestion is, Mr. Mcy
Adoo said, that 1 5 per cent bo repaid
in December, 30 per cent in January,
^ 3ft per cent, in February, and 25 per
e cent, in March next.
I "Steps are now being taken to carr
ry out the plan," added the secretary,
"so that, the funds may be promptly
0 available for the movement of crops."
Names of banks to receive the depos1
its and other details of the arrange0
ment will be announced later.
0 This new policy is the antithesis of
that adopted by Former Secretary
f MacVeagh, who two years ago declin8
ed to make government deposits to
relieve the tight money market on
l_ the ground that the moderate surplus
of federal funds at that time should
(> be held as a reserve to be utilized at
n some possibly critical stage.
r With the net balance in the gonj
oral fund amount to nearly $132,/
ftftO.ftftft, Secretary McAdoo has taken
the stand that the government
should anticipate the situation by
by placing deposits where and at the
timo they are needed.
If the full $.r>0,000,000 is deposited
this stop will temporarily almost
double tho government's deposits
r" with the banks which now hold $58,n
000,000 of federal funds.
Just as Secretary McAdoo was an
)' nouncing his plan, Senator Tillmar

RED SPIDER IS ABROAD
ixskct ri:sT, enemy of cotton,
IS IN THIS STATE.
AttmkN Plants in Cotton Field And
is Very instructive?How to Get
Kid of the Spider.
Farmers are always havinir their
troubles and local agriculturists are
110 exceptions to the rule. Not only
have their been rumors of the army
worm getting busy, although no sonous
ravages have been reported, but
the red spider, an enemy of cotton,
has made its appearance, and has
caused considerable concern.
\Ve are in receipt of a bulletin on
the red spider and how to destroy it
from Kntomologist A. K\ Conradi, of
Clemson College, which will be of
much interest to local farmers suffering
from the red spider,
j The bulletin as to the "Red Spider
on Cotton", Is as follows: "This insect
is at present being reported from
a number of localities in the State
I and according to the present outlook,
trouble may be expected from this
port as soon as dry weather sets in.
The red spider, which is a mite, has
been an important cotton pest in this
State for the last four years.
The damage varies In different localities
from year to year, and the
loss to the cotton may vary from 10
to 'J<> per cent. This insect occurs on
the under side of the cotton leaves,
and when looked at with the naked
eye, it appears like a dot of reddish
ink from the point of a fine pen. The
under surface of the leaf is covered
with a fine web under which the insect
lives and feeds. The female lays
about fifty eggs, and the life history
(luring warm weather requires about
10 days. Infested leaves turn red|
dish and fall off one by one and finally
the plant dies.
There are a number of important
recommendations against this pest in
the fall and spring, hut these are at
the present time out of the question.
The question is, what can be done at
the present time? Burn, grub out, or
otherwise destroy violets and poke
weeds.
Underbrush in a red spider infected
cotton field is very undesirable.
wiiii iiii* appearance 01 dry woati^r
carefully watch your cotton fields for
the first aimcarmco of rod snider
fostod stalks. Thev can bo dot c 1
i by tho change of color in tlio loaves,
and these n'ants should ho destroyed
immediately. Avoid careless dragKing
of these infested plants over the
plantation from place to place, bocauseit
mechanically spreads the
pest.
Local infestations on plantations
can be successfully and economically
controlled by the application of
sprays. Tt is all important that the
fields he watched and the spray, applied
when the first infestation is noticed.
Not only should infested ho
sprayed, but also the plants immediately
surounding the Infested or discolored
area. Whichever spray is used,
there should he two applications,
one week apart. The second spray is
to kill the red spiders that have
hatched from eggs since the first
spray was given. The potassium sulphide
spray recommended hy Mr. McGregor,
of the red spider labratory
of the bureau of entomology, is cheap
cause it mechanically spreads the
lows:
Potassium sulphide, three pounds;
water 100 gallons.
Potassium sulphide costs about 25
cents a pound and thus 100 gallons
would cost about 75 cents; and is sufficient
for spraying ono acre. Potassium
can ho obtained at practically
every drug store and is therefore,
available in most local markets. Lime
sulphur wash is another spray that is
very effective against this insect.
This can be made at homo like the
regular lime sulphur wash used for
the spraying of fruit trees against
San Jose scale. It is prepared as follows:
quicklime, 20 pounds; water 100 gal
Ions.
The cost of 100 gallons Is about
$1.40 This lime sulphur wash can
also he purchased In the market as
concentrated lime sulphur wash and
the sprya can be prepared by adding
two gallons of the wash to 100 gallons
of water. Of the sprays given
above, the first, namely, potassium
sulphide, is recommended."
