We ha%'z been informed that there were over sevent; 'arrests in a nearby dispensary town Ch, 1hIs ,v- - there were any at all in Laurens, we haven't heard of them, though, there were probably several. Why the dif ference? As a result of the unsuccessful farming year, there promises to be a movement from the country to the towns when the movement should be the other way. The change from buy Ing supplies In town to raising them at home, which change promises to take place in a large measure this year, means that there will be less op portunity in the towns for success than there ever was. Thousands of people in the towns and cities are al ready out of employment. The~ ~~ goe eii e The government's estimate of this year's cotton crop, based on acreage and the past ginning reports, is $15 969,000 bales. In 1911, which was the banner crop year, the production was 15,960,701 bales, being slightly less than this year's estimated yield. With the unfavorable weather of the past : few weeks and the discouragement of farmers consequent upon the low pric es, many thousands of bales, probably 3nillions, are liable to be left in the .eIds. Anyway, that which will be Iticked from now on will be of inferior 'grade. It seems the actual production 0"Of high grade cotton is going to be con ' iderably less than ginning and esti B-es would indicate. perIA Wonderful Story of the New WIhoscon Spirit" is contained In a muol'e Greater Charleston 10dition of dR.tSharleston i'venilig Post, pIIb Deaf recently.

"Nvither did we understand that the horrower would be expected to put up tree per cent of the loan as a guar aitee fund and to cover expenses. 1However, it must be remembered that tiis one million dollars which is sub scribed through the north and west is to he loaned in the south and if cot ton should decline below six cents her pound the lending banks would have no authority to call for addition al margin; and In banking circles twenty per cent. margin is not con pidered uireasonable." Mr. Maddox said the worst feeling in New York was over and financiers saw indications that things would be ch btter soon. Called For Troops. Hartwell, Ga., Dec. 28.-Gov. Sia ton tonight .was asked by Mayor Thornton here to send trool)3 to Hart well to protect negro prisoners In the county jail from possible mob vio lece. Reports received here ladicated that a mob was forming acrois the State boundary in Oconea county, South Carolina, to lynch a negro who was placed in jail here after'a recent stabbing affray with a white man In Oconee county. The negro was bad ly v'ounded in the fight and died t. night, but this was not. known by the public. Local authorities feared that if a mob visited the jail and found the negro dead vengeance would be taken out on other negco prisoners. Race feeling has been intense recently In Oconee county as a result of crimos said to have been committed by lie grOes. Three negroes were shot and killed a few days ago in a clash with white residents near Fair Play and today the bedy of Ernest Gray, another negro, was found near here. A coroner's jury returned a verdict that he had been killed with' an axe. An inves tigation of the killing is being made. * * * * * * * * * * * * * *4* * * * MT.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Justice La mar of the United States supreme court today granted an appeal from the refusal of the federal district court for northern Georgia to release on habeas corpus proceedings Leo M. Frank, under death sentence for the murder of Mary Phagan at Atlanta. Frank has been sentenced to be hanged January 22, but Justice La mar's action causes a stay of execu tion. Thirty days are given for the record of the proceedings in the lower court to be filed in the supreme court here. The State of Georgia then may ask that the hearing of the case be advanced. Such suggestions general ly are granted. As a result of Justice Lamar's ac tion today the entire court now will pass upon Frank's right to seek re lease from custody on a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the trial court in Fulton county, Georgia, lost Jurisdiction over him by its failure to have him present when the jury re iunend its verdict. Should thle supreme court decide rank was not entitled to tihe benefit of the habeas corpus w% rig the State of Georgia would noe lon ger lbe barred from carrying out thh death .wunoe. if thle cout d tecides lie was entitled to, ask for tihe writ, the ease lprobablly t rict court for the taking of evidence ou the writ, andI in opposition there to.

Preparatory to a fight within the legislature for a referendum vote next Septemnber,, leaders of the prohi bition party in this state have new pe titions for such an election in .circula tion in every voting precinct of the state, according to their assertions. It is planned tV subimt these petitions to the general assembly. Called by Judge Joseph A. McCul lough, of Greenville, South Carolina member of the National Child Labor committee, of New York, leaders in this state in the movement for the passage of ipore stringent child labor laws met in conference here, mapped out their campaign and formulated in outline their suggestiozi to the legis lature. Superintendent of Eductiiwon Swear ingen prepared for submis. on to -the legislature a bill provydin compul sory education that is thou1 t by leaders of that faction to meN( t'e approval of the new administraion. In some sources, it is said that the fight for this bill has been won and that its passage Is reasonably cer tain. In line with the campaign promis es of Manning, state officials incorpo rated, in the annual reports and re commendations, suggestions for vari ous reforms, and for the passage of what they regarded as co'nstructive legislation affectin'g their depart inents.
