C., THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1 002. i~(m nrv y A n A ran ,HE SHOT HIS WAY TO FREEDOI FU1G1'TIVE RAFFLC'S .1115 l?URSUERK lie Hs Killed Six Oflicerm nl Maacde II is liscaile Five' Times. The notorious Harry Tracy, the cot vict fugitive from Oregon, who ha killed six men and wounded severr others since Jiune 9, is being hoti, pursued by men and dogs in the coui trylsoutheast of Seattle, Washington an([ may be slain or captured within few hours. lHis pursuers, who hav with them Iwo flue bloodhounds, an only a sho t distance behind him. 'T'racy mado anothor extraordinari escape from one of the posses afto him on Tuesday afternoon. Word wai received at the sheriff's oflice thal Tracy had been at the house of a Mrs (Gerald, near Trenton, for live hours Fifty armed men at once hastoned t< the scene. When they reached the place they scattered and took positionm so they could watch the house to the best advantage. The peculiar actions of Mrs. Gerald convinced them that Tracy was still in the house. On the arrival of Sheriff Cudihce the posso closed in on the house, only to learn frot Mrs. Gera:d that Tracy had given them the slip. lie had left the house by a rear door t,en minutes previous, while the posse were taking up their positions to watI the place, hid for a few minutes in some of the bushes, and then quietly slipped away through the woods towar<l IPalmor. The wonderful nerve of the convict was never more f'illy oxemphlied than in this instance. in the back yard of the Gerald home was found Anderson, the man whom Tracy had kept a prisoner from the time lie left Port Ps al ison, tied to i tree. Tracy had tico Anderson to the tree while the posse were in full view of the house before makmig his escape. The blood hounds were let loose on his trail and are reported to be oinly a few minutes behind himl. Fully a thousand armed men are now engaged in the pursuit, including i posse which hia, taken the train for Palmer to intercept, Tracy im his flight toward Cedar mountain. Some time between Saturday night and Monday night Tracy c une to Seattle. The Johnison boat, in which lie left Port AMadison, accompanied by the mian Anderson on Saturday night, was found with a chain attached to it t.hrown over a boom of logs at the wha'f at Newell's mill, South Seattle. A little after 2 o'clock the 17-year old son of Iaaneher Gerald arrived at the sheriff's oflice with a gold and a silver Wat,eh, saying that Tracy had ar rived at his father's house at 10:30 o'clock that morning, and after eating a hearty meal had sent him to a neigh hor's house wit h the two watches with instructions to 1ry to sell them. Tracy said if' lie "were given away'' lie would kill the'whole family, the hoy included. The ho;', knowing that it was Tracy, conecluded to bring the watches to the sherill's ollice, hoping that the des perado would remain there until a searching party could arrive. The watches answer the description of those stolen from the Johnsons. Young Gerald dusribed Tracy ac curat.ely, anid t,he oflicers think that lie is tryiing to make the P.ahuer cut, off by t,he Cedar mtountaim road. The first poss0 t,ook a troley car for Rtentoin. At that place a locomotive was inl readliness to conyvey t,he man hunters up the Columbia and Puget Souind railroadl to the immediate neigh borhoodi of tihe Gerald house. Tihe secondl posse started for Rtentoni an hour later wvith bloodhloundls. A dispatch from Seatt,le oin Wednes day, says: IIarry Tracy, t,he fugit,ive convict outlaw, has for tbe fourth time since his arrival at Meadow Point, escaped1 Irom the ollicers. ra~.cy was definitely located in the home of Charles Gorrel, one mile north .of ltenton, at 2 o'clock yesterdhay after noon1. At 41:45 o'clock D)eputy Sheriff Cook arrived with a part of the posse andI adhvanIced upl tIle track towards Gorrer's home. T1racy st,ood in the rear of t,he prem' lses andl overheard a conversatioil b)etweenl one of the women inmates of the house aiid t,wo young men01 frow Renton andl theni the convict plunged1 inlto the brush and was lost, to view. \Vhen Tracy disapp)eared from th(~ Gorrell's home, t,he 1)1ood hiouinds werc hast,ily brought, up from~ thet rear anti tuIrnled loose on the hot scent. Both dlogs struck the trail dlown the strean following it, for a quarter of a mil11 an: crossing t,he track, only to double)1 bach and swim the river. IIalf way between Cedar river an<o llurioughs' b)oat, house, both dlogs rar io ca'yenne )pper sprinkled into thi outlaw's retreat,ing footsteps. Thiei nostrils were filled with the fiery sub stance and fulhly t,en milnutes were los in relieving the clogs so that they coub again use their powers of scent. P ressedl to desperation, Trac hieaded clue nort,h and plunged int the outskirt,s of the lake where h -finally succedled in casting the scent it was cdark and the guards returned t Rent,on with the clogs. SieA'rrie,, Washn., .July 9.--Tl pursuit, of IIarry Tracy appears to I temporarily suispended. Sheriff Cudlhc hlas caill in the guards from ti \southerin suburbs, leaving only a su fleient, number for a careful patrol. is blelievedI that Cudihee expects tI convict, If hIe re-appIears at, all, to sho up in another part of the country. TI posse that started from Rlent< with the bloodlhouinds this morning r turned this afternoon after a fruitle search.. Since early this morning the pos K has been scouring the country between Renton and Black River Junction. A large territory has been sontried, and it is believed that Tracy is hiding in -" the dense woods of this district. Guards have been stationed at every road in it the section. It is believed that lie will soon make his appearance at some house and demand food, as he Is know n to be without supplies. The rumor 8 that Merrill has joined his murderous I I comrade cannot be substantiated. V No one knows the exact where abouts of the desperado. A 'alem penitentiary guard who is with the party at Renton, is certain that Merrill and Tracy are once more together. Three suspicious looking individuals have been captured at Renton. It is thought that they may be three of the four men who met Tracy at Black River bridge Monday night and walked through Renton in the convict's com pany. At the jail they gave their names as Andy Neilson, Tom Madden and Phil Ritchie. The first two say they are loggers and the third says he is an iron bridge builder. Their state ments are conflicting. A diligent search is being made for the fourth alleged accomplice, who is thought to I i hanging around Renton or may have joined the convict. Rumors are rife that the fourth man is none other than Merrill, but this is generally dis credited. SEA-r'rT.:, Wash., July 10.--Tracy, the outlaw, has to all intents and pur. poses disappeared from the face of the earth. All that the authorities can do is to wait until he enters another home or holds some one up. Rumors of the wildest description concerning the convict's whereabouts are flying around !n al! sides. Public interest in the Renton es capade show no sign of decreasing. In the excitement following Tracy's flight through one of the woods, one im portant item was overlooked. IIe told Miss May Baker at the Grennell's home that his real name was Harry Sevvge, and that Tracy was his crimi nal nom de plume. Whether the mur derer was speaking the truth is a mat ter of speculation. In connection with the Renton fiasco, Trney's story is questioned by a large number of people. Many incidents support this theory. Anderson's state ment concerning the murderer's four friends whom he met after he landed e in Seattle is conclusive. No doubt f now remains that Tracy is receiving assistance. With this outside help Tracy's en. : trance to the Grennell's home becomes I explanable. He was not hungry. Noth- I ing that he (lid or said at the house could excuse his carelessness. In fact, r tlio only thing he did excel.t talk to the a women was to wash himself. a Again, the fact that he sent a strange I boy down town to sell the watches and i buy revolvers, looks queer. In addi- I tion to the watches, Tracy gave the 1 young man $9, every cent he had in i his possession, and when he took his departure the whole matter, boy and I watches had evidently passed from his mind. IN 'I'1IlF PIl)dMONT SRC TION. 1 Are Cotton Mills ini a Coi tuinity Of Heal Retnefit to Mr. TL. Larry Gantt, of Inman, S. C., wvrites as follows on this interest ing subject to the Atlant,a Journal: I have receivedl several letters from1 my old friends in Georgia asking me if the building of a cotton mill in a com imunity was really beneicial to neigh boring farmers. I must reply to this qluest,ion wit,h two directly opposing answers :"Yes," "~ No." Here aire the benefits that land own ers andi ani agricultural class derive from the estat>lishment of a cotton factory in their midst: The prices of surrounding land, for an area of some t,hree or four miles, is considerably in creased, its value being certainly doubled, anti in some instance thrib b)led and quadrupled. This is attrn b)utable to the fact that a mill popula tion are non-produceis of agricultural p)roducts andi the farmer finds a neatly market for not only every stick of wood lie cuts, but all manner of vegetables andi surplus crops, much of which would otherwise go to wast,e. Again, those mills furnish remunerat,ive em Iployment to the families of many fan mers. 1 know in Spartanburg County of a number of land owners who be came involved in diebt and being un able to pay out with their cotton money I rent,ed their farms, movedl their entire family to a cot,t.on mill and were thius able to save enough money to lift the I mort,gages. Anti just here let me state that w hile I in some States antd sections cotton mill r people are " looked diown upon," it is - not so in this P'iedmuont section of t Mouth Carolina. Many highly respect I ed anti prominent families work in cot. ton mills, and they hold their heads as y high as any one. Taken ae a class, a the cotton mill operat,ives of t,his see S tinn in tdeportment, dress, moralit,y ~. and general bearing and character will 0 rank with t,he best agricultural or vil lage communities. e But the building of a cotton mill In e an agricultural community has also Its e drawbacks to a land owner, but these e do not. overbalance their benefits. Ini E-. the first place, a cotton mill naturally [t creates a scarcity of labor on the farm be andi tends to advance the wages of fIeld w hands. o Agalin, laborers within hearIng of a n factory whistle during the long sum e. mer days, insist on regulating their ,s work hours by the mill operatives, which Is a serious loss to farmers at, ie the husiest sason of the year. It is also a mistake about these mills pay ing farmiers a better price for their cotton. On the other hand, I nc Lice that the markets of Athens, l':Iberton and other interior Georgia towns are several points higher than our mills pay for cotton delivered at their ware houses. But all things considered, it is un- r deniably beneficial to any agricultural E community to have a cotton Iimill estab hshed in its midst. I know of more a than one fa imer in this county, living n near a mill, who, on Christmas, make t, it a rule to invest every spare dollar they save from the sale of cotton, and n start the new year with empty purses. 8 They then sell, (luring the year enough d wood, vegetablee, and other products o from their farina to pay all expense for b making the next crop. p Spartanburg is one of the most pro- e' gressive counties in the South. Our i farmers produce about 60,000 bales of P cotton a year and our local mills con- n sume more than three times that nuni- ti ber. We have now in this county about cc 30 cotton mills, and now ones are being constantly built. I presume that four- s fifths or more of the capital investd at comes from the North. With the ex- 01 ception of one or two small factories, a avery mill built in our county has n proven a success, and a profitable in- L vestment. The result is that when a 01 sew enterprise is projected, there is t, ao trouble to raise all the outside to imoney necessary to start it up. I Without intending any reflection ipon my agricultural friends in Geor- at ia, I must assert that, as a general hiiing, the farmers of this and other b< apper counties in South Carolina are omuewhat leading them in progress v mnd enterprise. This is attribut,able gt ,o the fact that the land-holdings in nt ieorgia are generally too large, and w tour people must depend mainly on it ,he negro for labor. In Spartanburg i1 Jounty I can drive you for miles and nibs over certain roads and where c you find one man owning over one yundred acres I will show you three or our whose land holdings range from l 10 to 60 acres. In comparison with middle Georgia, h here are very few negroos in this w ounty north of the Southern railway. aI L'hose small farms are owned and vorked exclusively by white people, fo md it would surprise a Georgian to ar ee how nicely a man supports his I amily from a forty or fifty acre farm. 'L It is a rare thing to see a field thrown pi iut, and washes and gullies are disap- V earing every year. Land is growing oo valuable to let ii go to waste, and ye n any desirable community a farm, vitlh even the erut1est improvements, t eadily sells for from $15 to $:30 per lal cre. If there is an acre of land round iniman that can be bought1 as 8lu ow as ten dollars, I do not know where pa t is. The land here too is naturally ou in, similar to the soil in Gwinnett, an lall and other Piedmont Georgia coun ies. And another noticeable fact is that thl and owners here are generally clear all >f debt, and make their farms self- th ustaining. Like unto other sections, |ch we have the poor always with us"; ap )ut, as a general rule, our farmers are at vell-to-do and prosperous. Many of ca hem have a bank account or have no pr ,roublo to borrow money when they ieed it. A leading merchant of this so :ounty recently told me that he knew|di he financial condition of every farmer |th vithin eight miles of his store, and |m vith the exception of a few young men vho had not as yet finished paying form heir farms, there was not a mortgage y -ecordedl against, a single farmer. ci There are not better or more intelli- (II rent farmers in the South than Geor- i gia can boast, but what your State s nest needs to roach that high stage of i levelopment she so richly merit,s is ~or your large land-owners to carve up ,heir plantations into small farms and(1 sell them off on easy terms to indus nrons white men. Th'lis policy wvould A greatly increase the value of the re- e nining land, and add bot,h to the j wealth and p)opulation of your State. o, In Spartanburg County land readily ti rents for one-thirdl of all tihe crops plro- A cuced, andl desirable low grounds being A one-half. I have several farms renmted n: exclusively to white tenant,s, and (10 ci not stand responseible even for the p, guano that goes under the crops. My al renters keep up terraces andl tihe lands l improved, and they can buy all thep supphles they ineed on their own ac- o count. One of them, who runs a one- u horse crop, has several hlundlred dbollars ci loaned out, at miterest. In my next letter I will tell The .Journal readers how easy it is for any town or community to secure a cotton mill, if they will only go to work with ~ the proper energy and in tile right ~ way. A writer mn Forest and Stream tells a us of the met,hods t,he thrush adlopts 11 inl teaching his little ones to smug. i "Find," be says, " a family of woodl u thrushes arid carefully not,e what takes a place. Tile old1 male thrush will sing i thle sweet songs in loud, clear, finite like notes once, and then stop to listen t while the young birds try to imitate the song. Some will uitter one note, some two. Some will utter a coarse note, ethers a sharp note. After awhile they seem to forget their lessons and drop out one by one. When all are silent the old thrush tunes up again, and the young thrushes repeat their efforts, and so it goes on for hours. The young birds (10 not acquire the full song the first year; so the lessons are repeatedi time following spring. I take many visitors'into the woods8 to enjoy the first thrushes' singing school, and all are convinced that the song of the wood thrush is a matter of education pure and simple."
