Columbia, Nov. 7.? Reports receiv? ed in Columbia indicate that the grain crop In South Carolina will not be so large as last year. The agricultural leaders arc urging the farmers to plant mere grain and cut down the cotton acreage, one ol the leading North Carolina papers reported several days ago that the grain crop had been de? creased In that State. Here is what the Lau renn Adver? tiser says about the situation In that county: "Prom the reports which we hear, the acreage In grain so far planted is not very large. We have ridden over the county In several directions our? selves recently and our observation bears out the reports, lf Is possible that tho unfavorable weather has had : imethlng to do with this by delaying the picking Of cotton, but it hardly seems that this Is the only reason. It is possible that after last year's les? son, our folks are going to increase .heir cotton acreage again. The signs look that way now. Tins is a very se? rious matter. Even now, with hut i approximately eleven million bales to he ginned this year, a barely profi? table market Is hard to maintain, and with a much larger crop the price to? day would be ruinous. L ?t's not gam? ble on this cotton business, Drain and cotton coml Ined make almost a sure combination. Cotton Itself might be a winner, but it la a dan Igeroug thing to meddle with, Haven't j we learned that already?" { The t ' N said to ho by those in a I position to know passing through a period of prosperity, undreamed of this time last year. This is best shown by the large attendances at the various fairs. The Bpartanburg fair last week attracted the largeat number In ita history. That society Is now on a safe financial 1 asls after a atruggle of several years. There was a good at ? tendance at the Marlboro Fair. Next week the fair will he held at Orange burg and Qov, Manning Is scheduled to deliver an address. Columbia Is prepared to entertain the Beveral hundred delegate i who are or. their Way to Savanna it to attend the Atlantic Deeper Waterways Con? vention.

Shots Fired at Workers from Outside Building and Fire Is Returned by Mill Men?Sheriff Makes Little Progress In Securing Information. _ Anderson, Now t?.?Trouble of a serious nature has broken out afresh tonight at ths Brogon miils, which have been closed for nine weeks, i owing to a strike among the opera? tives and the situation has become tense. Ar B o'clock the surrounding community was startled by a fusillade ?f pistol shots from the vicinity of the mills, accompanied by the blowing of distress calls on the mill whistles and a general bedlam of noise from the throats of seemingly several hun dred people. The sln rlfi and others responded to tlie ?all, hut as yd little progress has been made in arriving at the facts in tho situation. People on the out? side of the mill laim that a party of j six workmen w ho were brought here | several days ago to load cloth and who have been quartered in the mill j I building since did the firing from the inside of the mill, ami the workmen claim that a squad of those on the outside conccah d themselves in the grass and opened lire upon them through the windows of the mill. The workmen admit that they re? turned the lire and then blew the whistles for help. The grounds for a wide distance about the nulls are I atrolled by pickets and no one i^ all- wed near the buildings. It is im? possible to get one word out of thogf? on the outside of the mills. Whiskey appears to be flowing freely and lire arms are in evidence. There is a general feeling of anxiety throughout the city and the public is awaiting results. The sheriff has been in communt cation with the governor but as >ct nothing has been said about militia, although the men arc of their own accord within close proximity to the armory. When it was learned to? night that the sheriff intended tak? ing the workmen out of the null and carrying them to jail it was generally feared that the men would suffer at the hands Of the strikers were they i rought out of the mill building. fiov. Manning instructed the sheriff to keep the workmen within the mill and quiet any disorders. After midnight, however, the sheriff removed the workmen from the mill SILENT CROWI>3 GREET EMPER? OR AS HE ENTERS KIOTO. No Wcrd Spoken as Subjects Worship Imperial Shrine In Mystic Vtootm* sion. Kioto, Japan, Nov. 7.?A church like hush enveloped Kioto, the an? cient capital of tho empire, when Em? peror Yoahlhlto and a gorgeous cor- <t tege made their state entry into the city at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Here on Wedneaday next will he held the first great coronation ceremony. A similar scene never was witnessed in the Western world. The emperojl and the imperial shrine were silently J worshiped hy his subjects. The eor tc go was regarded as a sacred, mystic and religious procession. Although a desire to avoid accident was a con? trolling factor, one of the chief rea? sons for Imposing silence upon the multitude was a wish to maintain reverence for the monarch as he ar? rived in tho city for the sacred coro nation rites. Th<-> Japanese vk irpolnt found ex? pression when the master of cere? monies said to the Americans and other foreigners assigned to vantage points inthe palace grounds: "When the shrine and the emperor pass ph ase remove your hats and bow, but do not cheer." A gray autumn day added to the solemnity of the scene when the pro? cession entered the palace; grounds in a purely Japanese setting. Hun? dt' ds, bent with years, stood beside soldiers, reservists and thousands of delegates from the societies of the empire. Waiting at the palace por? tal were two score-court ladies gown? ed In ancient rohes of white and scar let. The cortege was an exact repro i duction of the one which passed through Tokyo. The shrine, hidden behind curtains of purple, gold and red, borne on the shoulders of yellow kimoncd villagers, was preceded by priests afoot and followed by tho emperor in the royal golden coach. As the cortege reached the palace gates the not* s oV a buttle broke the Btiltness and informed the multitude that the sacred mirror was enshrined. Th* n the reverent restraint was bro? ken, and the immense throngs gave themselves up to gaiety, fireworks and illuminations. 1 uilding and carried them to Wil? lie mston.
