Cotton Crop Estimator.
Mr. Dee?, the veteran authority on
cotton crops, was in Anderson Satur?
day afternoon. After taking a look at
the crops in this section, he departed
for North Carolina, and from thence
he will proceed to New York, having
completed his Inspection trip.
Mr. Deet Is a very ordlnarylo oklng
fellow, and no one would suspect that
In hla head covered with shaggy, ill
kept hair, that an inestimable amount
of Information Is stored. Not until
be is addressed does he display any
knowledge. He dresses as a farm
laborer in the midst of threshing
time; his blue jean shirt and his Jean
trousers more or less suggestive of a
man Just from the field.
Mr. Deet says that hla Northern em?
ployers pay him $5,000 to visit the
States in the belt every year to make
an estimate. He says he has been
at this work for several years, and
that he travels more than 25,000
miles each year. He does most of his
traveling on the trains, but he spends
considerable of his time in the cot?
ton fields.
When asked aa to his opinion of
the cotton crop Mr. Deet was non?
committal. He admitted that the
crop In South Carolina Is far below
the average, and predicts a very
small harvest. He said that the crop
In the vicinity of Sumter is better
than anywhere else In the State.
As far as letting out any Informa?
tion concerning the crops In other
States Mr. Deet would say nothing. He
intimated, however, that the estimates
now being made are. In his opinion,
too high. He expects a small crop
yield.
Mr. Deet say * he has visited Ander*
son county often on his Inspection
tours. On account of his general
make-up he never attracts any atten?
tion, and he always foregoes the pleas?
ure of making known his business.
It was only after adroit questioning
would he talk Just a little while In
this city.?^nderson Mall.

"Shot Up" Hot Supper Crowd.
Greenville, Sept. 28.?Five negroes
were brought to this city today and
locked In Jail, charged with the mur?
der of John Magaha, white, in the

came In the house and began shooting.
There was a fusillade of shots and
Magaha was shot In the breast and
died about three hours later. It Is
