of the railroads. He. was preparing
to ta'ke off another train load of ne?
groes, and the time was appointed

over to the county authorities for
prosecution.
. As soon as It was learned that
Brown waa in Jail. Mr. , Mercer, a
white agent of the Pennsylvania rail?
road, came to try to get Brown out.
After he had been In jail several

given In a fidelity company. The
bond is for his appearance for trial
at court here next week.

FOR HIGHER COTTON PRICES.
FARMERS' COMMITTEE URGES
FARMERS TO HOLD FOR
MORE MONEY.
Resolution Suys Farmers Can Com
' mand Fancy Price, R They Will
Wait and Demand More?Some Ex?
pect Thirty Cents a Pound.
Columbia, Sept! 28.?At a meeting
of farmers in the Jerome Hotel this
afternoon a committee, consisting of
R. M. Cooper, E. W. Dabbs and W.
A. Stuckey, drew up an address to the
farmers and business men of the
State, outlining in their opinion that
cotton will bring much higher prices
if held.
In part they recommended:
"We are reliably informed that in
thi3 State there r 5 mills that have
sold their products at a handsome
profit based on twenty-two cents a
pound for short cotton and other mills
at from thirty to forty cents a ;
for staple cotton; that these prices
can be had if the farmers ard lust
ness men will but join in demanding
them and refuse to sell for less.
"How much higher prices may go
we would not like to predict. We
have heard of well informed men who
look for thirty cents for short cotton
per pound, and ninety dollars a ton
for seed at high water mark, depend?
ing upon two things, the further in?
crease of money in circulation and a
full informing of the farmers and
business men of the State of the true
value of cotton and eotton seed, com
pared with the cheapness of money
and the small supply of cotton."
COUNTY FAIR BUILDING.
Lee County Getting Ready for the
First County Fair.
The editor rode out to the fair
grounds yesterday with Mr. Roland
Hearon, one of the building commit?
tee. He was perfectly amazed at the
rapidity of work done since the foun?
dation of the main building was mark?
ed off just ono month ago. The main
building ia 150x160 feet in the form
of a cross?each wing measuring 50x
50 with a center square of same di?
mensions." The foundation is of brick
to which the sills are bolted with 32
inch rods, the ends of which are se?
curely imbeded in cement and rock
2 1-2 or 3 inches under the founda?
tion. The structure is of dressed pine
both outside and In and the framing
Is securely braced against storm and
cyclones. The sides and gables are
weather boarded after German patent
which gives It a neat and attractive
finish. The sheeting and ratters are
all of dressed lumber which gives the
interior the appearance of being ceil?
ed. The roof is being covered with
galvanized Iron. The building is un?
der the direct Supervision of Messrs.
J. P. Kilgore and G. W. Houck, who
visited Orangeburg, Florence, Lexing?
ton and other counties that have fair
buildings in order to study the good
points of each and eliminate the bad,
so that they could profit by their mis?
take and erect an ideal fair building.
How far they have succored is best
told in-looking over the commodious
and well planned ma'n building. A
finished architect could not have made
a blue print to suit the occasion bet?
ter. It is situated outside ?..?e enclos?
ure of the base ball ground just
across the road to the left of the ball
park. In addition to the main build?
ing there will be a stable of 50 stalls
for horses, a building 50x100 for cat?
tle, one 20 by 40 for hogs and sheep,
all of which will be ready by Nov. 1.
The main building will be ready the
first week in October. It is now up to
exhibitors to fill these large buildings
with exhibits. Already concessions
to manufacturers of farm implements
and machinery are being made to test
their implements which will be highly
interesting as there is ample room for
such tests. The outside attraction
wiJl be fine and the best that can be
had.?Bishopville Leader and Vindi?
