Am soon as it's jacket la on, off It

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.

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.
