There la a perfect man la for sailing cotton this year. The bears can congratulate themselves that for once they have stampeded the farmers to do tholr bidding, worse than delegates over wore In U political convention. In connection with it all there seems to bs a great deal of ".-unnlng with the hare and barking with the hounds." Maybe of the chaos something will forth beneficial to some. The caterpillar, so widely adver? tised, haa not s"uck ne'e yet. It waa hare several years ago and ate ap the cotton leave* but did no damage to the bolls. After eating the cotton leaves It went Into the woods ind ate the oak leaves. We found it at that time rather a bless? ing than a curse, for It made the young -mils open better, where the foliage on the stalks was thick. For some time this section has haar? infested with a gang of gam hies a Every night and. especially, Sunday nights, they played.

Mrnadway met Way several days afterward* aid up? on being asked what he had sold his cotton at, told Way that he had sold It at the market price and that he had not expected to get twelve and a half cents aa he knew that cotton was not bringing that much. Upon this Way had asked if he was calling him a liar, saying that he did not take a He off anyone, and that he would kill Broadway ?.f he did not take it back. Broadway had gone into the store to try to get a pistol from Conyer* White, who kept the store, but Marie White took the pistol and Broadway turned off to go out of t^e atore. As he got to the steps Way threw a bottle at him. but It missed its mark and hit the door. Broadway in dodging the bottle stumbled out of the door and Way cut him. Thi- i the evidence set up by the State, while the defense set up evidence quite different Broadway was in the store when Way atopped there to buy some sugar and aa the package waa being wrap? ped up F "oadway had curaed Way, telling him to go to hell, he didn't like him anymore. At the same time Broadway called Way a liar and ap? plied a vile epithet to him. Do.h of the men had gone outside of the store and Broadway cursed Way again, telling him that he would kill him. Broadway then went Into the store and went behind the counter, where he spoke to Conyers White. When he came out he again stated that he would kill Way and advanced upon him with his left hand In his hip pocket and hitting at Way with the other hand. Way had backed out of the atore and had thrown a soda water bottle at Broadway as he came out of the door. Broadway continued to advance and Way cut him. Way then went Into the store and got his package and handed Broad? way his hat as he passed out on his way home. The negroes In the store had bound up Broadway's wound and sent for someone to take ca?e of him. The caae had progressed this far when court adjourned for its noon recess. Dr. F. K. Holman. who had attended Broadway, had not appeared ed to testify to the wound, but It uns shown to the jury by Broadway. At the afternoon session the case was reuumed and Broadway was put back on the stand to contradict the evi? dence given by Way. Dr. F. K. Hol? man teatlfled to the fact that Broad? way was drunk at the time that he wts called '.n to attend him. This wes a contradiction of what Broad? ly had eild when he wae on the tund. He said that he had bought eotne whiskey In Sumter the morning he wir, here, but that he was not drunk at the time that the cutting occurred. Way also stated that he dt| not know whether or not Broad? way waa drunk at the time. When the case waa submitted to the Jury, after arguments by the State and defense. It was only a short time before a verdict of guilty was returned. A motion was made for a new trial and It Is probable that It will be granted. Mr. D. D. Molse represented tho defendant and Messrs. L. D. Jennings and Solicitor Stoll represented the Sta e. A motion (of a new trial was entered on the minutes of the court Tuesday in the caae of William Vaughn, con? victed of arson.
