Xickcrson of Boston, nnd W. W,
Stafford and F. K. Taylor of Charb-.*
ton. arrived in the city and stopped
?t the Sumter Hotel. They were at
once spotted out as capitalists, inter?
ested In the huildlng of a fertilizer
plant, and this Idea was strengthen?
ed hy the fact that the gentlemen
were with Messrs. NeiU O'Donnell
and D. W. Cuttlno, two local business
iro n supposed to be interested In the
matter.
Wedn--sday afternoon when seen
by a reporter for The Item Mr. P. B.
Crudley stated that he had nothing to
?i-.w it nil al'ont his plans or any
thlng concerning; a fertilizer fac?
tory. To strengthen this statement,
when the reporter ?old Mr. Ilradley
that he had understood from diff r
ent oarties that he WOi Interested In
the matter. Mr. Bradley mart- lhe
statement that he did not know the
fi-porer's informants or what they
knt w about his business here but he
could tall him nothing about the mat?
ter.
Afterwards Mr. Bradley talked of
his visit to the city. He said that
this was his first visit to Sumter and
that he was very favorably Impressed
with the town and the country sur?
rounding it. He said that he had no?
ticed that the farmers were selling
a large amount of cotton and that
he believed It was right for thorn to
?eil at ten cents as to hold at that
price was nothing but speculation.
Of the fertilizer plant and his pro?
posed plans here he said nothing,
nor did either Mr. Stafford or Mr.
Taylor, who were both present The
party went out again Wednesday af?
ternoon and left at night on the 9:30
train for Columbia.
Mr. David W. Cuttlno, 'when asked
about the matter Wednesday, had
nothing at all to say. He said that
he understood that the gentlemen
visiting here were favorably impress?
ed with the country. He would
neither affirm or deny the report
that the Singleton place, or. which he
has recently secured a ninety-day
option with contract to purchase, was
the proposed site of the fertilizer
factory.
Whether or not tl.e place has been
optioned for a alte for the proposed
factory is not known, but the records
show that Mr. Cuttlno secured a
ninety-day option on 85 acree of the
Singleton place and 34 1-2 acres of
the Tryon place, which are adjacent
and would make an excellent site for
the factory.

Young \\??nian 1 It-Id for Si.-tcr's
Death.
New Orleans, Sept, IT,?A young
woman of French-American axtmo*
lions, under arrest tor Um murder of
a younger slater whose Ufa was in
sured in h^r favor, tonight admitted
to tin- district attorney that she had
administered morphin?.- to ths girl,
but had don.' so by mistake. If the
lau succeeds la snmaehlni her in
the network of circumstantial evi?
dence it is attempting to OMt about
her, ibis woman, Annie Crawford*
aged II,, may have to answer not
only for the death of her sister,
Blatt, a pretty stenographsTi but also
for the poisoning of three other
members of her family who have
died mysteriously within the past 15
months, all carrying life insurance
In her favor.
The woman, who is alleged to he a
drug fiend, was arrested late today
following a report from a chemist
who analyzed the sistef'l stomach af?
ter her death last Saturday to the ef?
fect that lie had found tracts of
morphine. She declared tonight af?
ter hours of questioning that sh? had
intended to give her sister calomel and
soda. She said she took morphine
from the Presbyterian hospital, where
she was formerly in charge of the
drug department. After discovering
her mistake she was afraid to call
in the doctor and decided to say noth?
ing about it. She admitted that she
and her sister were not on good
terms, asserting that Elise had not
"treated" her right. Miss Crawford
also admitted tonight that she bad
been addicted to the use of morphine
for five years with the exception of
a brief period and that she had not
had any since last Saturday morning.
She said she was accustomed to get?
ting the morphine at the hospital.
The bodies of the woman's fath
er, mother and another sister will
be exhumed to ascertain whether
they really died from the effects of
poisoning. a ? ? 1 ?v?
