From tlt, reports which we hear,
the acreage in grain so far plailted is
nolt very large. We h'ave ridden over
tlt, couity iI soveral directions our
solves receitly and our observation
bears out the reports. It 13 Iossible
that the unfavorable weather has had
something to do with this by delaying
the picking of cotton, but it hardly
seems that. this is the only reason. Is
It possible that. after last year's les
sonl, our folks arL going to increase
their cotton acre.ige again. The signs
look that way nlow. This is a very
serious malter. IFvenl nlow, with but
approximately eleven million bales to
be ginned (his year, a barely Irofit

witi a much larger crop the price to

Former Stiperintendent of Odd Fel.
lows' Home Will Be Tried as to His
Saity This Week.
Greenville, Nov. 1.-Beginning this
mori' ning another week's session of the
Court of General Sessions will con
v'ene and if Judge Memminger carries
on the work of the court as lie did last
week, there will be a considerably re
lieved docket it the end of 1he terni.
The court does not put too much spced
iII the work igs of (lie court, but he
keeps the attorneys on the job
throughout and makes every moment
coniht during the hours of the daily
session.
Tilis week, however, it will be tin
possible to hear as many cases as
last, owing to the fact that there are
ca(es coming upI1, all of which will
lake up considerable time in the hear
''lie case of ''. U. Vaughn, who is
to be tried as to his sanity, will como
up this week and this case will prob
ably last at least a (lay. This is ono
of the most interesting cases in the
i history of the county. Vaughn was
condemned to be hanged for crimes
committed when he was superintend
ent of the local Odd Follows' home.
Later lie escaped by sawing out of jail
here, or being sawed out by friends on
the outside, went to Baltimore, and
was there -arrested and returned to
this state.
in the meantime, or before lie was
executed, the form of execution was
changed from hanging to electrocu
tioi, and he, therefore, appealed to
l'nited Slates supreme court, on the
grounds that lie could iot. be electro
cuted as lie had been sentenced to be
hanged.
To Be -Tried for Sanity.
The suprelne court ruled that. lie
eculd nlot escape on these grounds,
a 11(b 11en1ee it leCame. necessary to
have Valiughn i resen ten ced. In tle in
tr-im, however, le cit lher bec:a me in

nuIh skill that he has not been re
seiit elced but hi: attorileys secured
for him a trial as to ils sanity.
.1ust what the natunre of the tet I

testilnony wiith the testimiioiiy of other

piiblcily that \aughn is not inasne

If the defense wins, Vaughn will be
