SPECIAL SESSION ALMOST K9THI6 i c i PASSED ONLY THREE EMERGEN- t CT 'BILLS FOR ALL THAT 1 TALK. c I I 10HQNDS ON BOWS ' 1 X "Measure to Issop BnhmIs Fwt Many i Milhons of Dollars TaifltftS of Pas^ x sage~?Matter Wars "Ndt Submitted | * 'to4the People, ? J The special session of the Legislature to remedy the cotton situation,] ? came to a close ?sn Tuesday of lafet '1 weok on the 29th day after it had ocm-f) * verted in the city <dt Columbia. rj 1 'xi The general assembly stxad to grap~ f pie with a tremendous economic proposition, but it refused in 'large meas- ( tire to deal with fire matters before it 1 in the manner and form prescribed b\ 1 the governor. At the end of ^t*e - special sesion, the ^ legislature had passed a triology d: ] acts bearing directly upon the eco- ! nomic situation in which cotton grow- 1 ers find themselves. These measures * were the ?jcreage redufcuon law, the 1 * State cotton warehouse law and the { .$24,000,000 cotton bond referendum law, the last named fail rag to become effective ir. time for submission to the electors Tuesday because the governor refused to sign it. The cotton acreage rea.ietion abi'is ^ intended to curtail the production of ; t 'the staple in South Carolina by 1)0 per cent. It ha^s th<^ approval <JT leading* agriculturists, who assume that its infrrrcenrent will lead to <fi versification c?f mops b\ farmers who j have been held in the thraldom (fl ' King Cotton, hut who do riot consider ' ^ his majesty pdtent, with the staph * selling in the local markets of the State at 0 or 7 cents a pound. The ] acreage redaction 'tct makes it un-{ lawful for any person or corporation i to "plant or cultivate in thin State in , any year a greater number of acres dt ! 1 land in cotton than one-third of the | totai acreage <af land planted and cultivated in all crops by such persons in ^ said >} ear, including grain .-and fall -i sown crops pb -.led ithe preceding falll 1 or winter." 1 The cotton curtailment'law fixes a penalty of not less 'than *$25 -.and not more1 than $100 -on each acre planted ^ in cotton over the specified one-thirdi . actually planted and o<ivatett in all crops. 'This pcrmVty is made a preferred'lien on the cotton crop c?f the violator. Peace officers are charged with'the enforcement a/f the reduction act -and authorized to "bring ^ actions in the name of the State. The cotVc^i acreage reduction laiv is generally regarded as the remedial ^ measure most above reproach passed j "by the general assembly. Its con-1 ( stitift'ionality is questioned, ttnd it "is ! * admitted that it will bo difficut to en- I 5 l force, .and there is more than a posr sibility that Jbv adopting intensive, i methods cotton planters can procure I as mue'h of the staple on one-third their land as they have heretofore on j two-thirds or three-fourths. It will be interesting to watch other cotton j States to see if they follow South Car ' olina's lead in the attempt to reduce ^ it cotton production by one-half. L The State cotton warehouse act will 1; embark the commonwealth on t>i<e r business of warehousing cotton, with ^ the idea that the State's guarantee on cotton warehouse receipts will give them a higher value as collateral. The k State dispensary for the sale of liquor h placed on the State by the Tillman regime, is a well remembered instance of a venture into busjyiess by the State. The State warehouse act is an ele- ^ p'nantine affair ,cumbered with many v amendments. One of them provides s that the State shall not lease a pri- c ' j l ii . ? * vaxe warenouse mat is not making a p profit. Another says that the State e shall not be held liable for the rent of a leased warehouse unless it produces e its own rent over and above operating d expenses. It is difficult to see how t! any owner of a private warehouse t ^ making a profit, and this is the only > kind th& State can take over, can be t: induced to lease it if the State will n not guarantee the rent. The appropriation of $15,000 to put the ware- a house act into effect precludes the leas n ing of many warehouses of large ca- s pacity. v i, v The cotton bond issue act propos- ,t< ing to submit to the electors in the general election of November 3 the question of issuing $24,000,000 in State bonds to be loaned on cotton ^ for the purpose of immediately retiring a third of the 1914 South Carolina ti ? 4.1... u: v rrujj iiuiu uic uini acw uiuiuu^ii ji t ^ was passed by the general assembly, J did not become a law and the referendum was not held. The bond issue q act passed both houses the last week j b of the special session over bitter op- d position. Well managed filibusters H prevented the act from being delivered to the governor for his signature mtil the morning of October 30. XJnlor a constitutional provision the hiof executive had the right to hold he measure unsigned until midnight' estcWtay, the day of the proposed lection, if the general assembly was n session. If he held it longer than; his unsigned with the general assem-' >ly still sitting it automatically beam* a law. The governor sent the ict to the office of the secretary fof State yesterday about noon unsigned ind it did not become a law. The general assembly finished all yusincss before it on 'October 31 and raited until midnight -of November 2 n expectation that the governor rould sign or :veto the cotton bond t>ciin nnf e A f iVu\ nlaetJnn 1^/1 Kn avi rv v 11 c 41 utC civv uvu vvuivi leld on November "3, ballots having seen distributed. Not until the nigh of November 2 lid the governor' franca to what he inended to do. The,'/ he sent a message o the general assembly saying that no was going to dv> nothing, neither dgn nor disapprove the bond issue act In the message the governor spoke if the "great -embarrassment and tours of the most harassing anxiety" :he bond issue act had given him. "The responsibility, therefore, of its becoming a law must rest with the general assembly which was convened n extra session to pass such laws as n their good judgment may bo necessary and proper 'for the rolie'r of the oooplc of'the State," said the govern-! 31*. The most that advocates of the lond issue could say for it was that 3y taking a chance of losing some noney in the future the State might' assist some of its citizens now out of; inancial stringency. Opponents oh he act saw it as a dangerous venture nto State pateriralism ami refused to read it a title clear of objectionable valorization features.

WOMAN WEALTHY LAND OWNER SHOT TENANT AND KILLED WIFE WHO CAME TO RESCUE. ARMED FARMEMVE 6HASE Von Krebs, Long Erratic, Had Attadked President Wilson and Tried to Send Innocent Men to Gallons Richard "Von Kr^bs, a wealthy fcand owner and suppo^d lunatic shm and killed M?rs. Hentty Rhell and 'totally wounded her husband near New Brunswick, N. J., last vwelfc. A man hunt, the like of whiidh probably never was equalled m tl -is country, was in furh progress in the surrounding woods for the murderer. No Vss than fifty farmers ;*nd coun ly officers, every one armed and each realizing only too well that they were searching for a man <w<tit*vl with being the best shot in that/jffart of the State, hunted for the ?nutl?*v with automobiles, horses and on foot. Von Krebs committed one of the cruellest murders New Jersey authorities have- ever known. Without warn ing he came upon Tfhcil, one of his tenants, wto was picking radishes on his farm, and fired tffc'o s2>ots into Irivn. The farmer's wife, hearing the shooting, ran''from her toousr to the fussistanre of her husband. When sixty feat away Von Krebs fi'cd at her. and she died jnstanly. ftheil Gives the Alarm. Thinking them both dead, the murderer stalked into the woodc When bo got out of sight the woun<terl Tlbci! dragged himself to a neighboring farmhouse and gave the alarm. Then he became unconscious. He is believed to be dying irr the new Brunswick Hospital. The fugitive, because of his man\ irrational deeds, one of which was an attack upon President Wilson when he was making the gubernatorial campaign, has long been regarded m insane by the community. Hp is u man of unusual education, rcfirred, and when in a talkative mood plainly 'indicated he' had a vast "knowledge, especially of -political affairs in Eurnrpe. In lucid moments he made -mam claims of' ins prominence in Germany and <ifPtenrhas let drop hints that he was a member of the Kaiser's hrnvvtehold. "His .military bearing and secret JWJUirce of const lerable money seem ito furar out his assertions. Though at times quarrelsome, 'his neighbors rairely ever fought with ihirn, because it was known that'he ulways carried a revbivrr and was un ; expert shot. Twenty years ago 'he stirred Middle sex County with sensational testimony which took two men to the shadow of the gallows. Tn the eleventh hour it was ^discovered! that von Ivreb's story was false and they were freed. Hatred foj 1*. S. haws. He has always had a deop-rooted distrust and oven hatred of American laws, .and recently insistently demanded tlie impeachment of Justice Mahlon C. Pitney. He has made many threats against Middlesex County prosecutors, but has never bwn punished. On October 30, 1912, von Ivrebs waited in the railway station at New Brunswick for Circuit Judge Frank T. Lloyd. He made a violent attack with his fists upon the Judge and only the eorts of Constable John Elkins prevented further trouble. Having* in mind all these vivid rocoleetions of von Krebs, the farmers have grimly determined to get him, though perferably dead. The community for miles around is in a state of panic, believing that he has turned homicidal maniac, and will kill any one, even chinldren, who may cross his path. The search for the outlay is being led by prosecutor W. Edwin Florence and his two detectives, Richard Peltier and John Ferguson, and Chief of Police Michael O'Connel.

With it young Lyman bought the cotton; his wife, Roxana, spun it, j had it woven and painted it over in j oil colors, with a gay border round the edge and groups of flowers in the center. When (he new carpet was laid down the people were astonished at the magnificence of the pastor's parlor. Good old Deacon Talmadge, coming one day, stopped at the door, afraid to enter.

The Marshall brought Mr. Butler ben t \ ^ I lore united states commissioner, t .| P.

McDermott of Conway stood his bail Very little is known about the do- i tails of the charge against Butler. It I was stated about the streets that a still which had been in active operation was found on his land in Simpson Creek township on a place occupied by one of his tenants, and that about twenty gallons of blind-tiger or "moon-shine" was confiscated by the revenue officers. Many who knew the defendant in a business way were surprised when they heard of this charge against him. For many years past he was engaged, in farming ant) running a mercantile business at his ! place in the Fends section of this county. His friends are bound to believe that he can make some satisfactory j explanation of the grave charge under which ho is now resting;; and they feel that when the ease is oal'ed in the United States court that the defendant will successfuully defend the charge.
