C COX KKC ERATH AIDED FOX. FEAK FOR COTTON CROP. Abnormal Rainfall and Cool Weather in Yorirtille Section Cause Appre hension The Wheat "rop Prom ising and the Acreage Large. Bpectal to The Observer Torkvllle. S. C, May 23. This sec tion. In common with the balance of the country, was visited by an ab normal rainfall during the past three days, and owing to the very cool weather that prevails considerable apprehension Is felt for the cotton crop. There Is considerable com plaint In some sections of poor stands of cotton, but It la claimed that the tands of corn are the best In years past and the latter crop is especially promising at tills time and the acre age is believed to be the largest In the history of the county. Reports from all sections of the county indicate that while the wheat acreage is not nearly no large as It Should be, the outlook for a good jleld is the best in the past six or eight years The acreage sown In oats last fall and this spring is larg er than for several years and the prospect for a satisfactory yield Is especially encouraging. The demand for peas and sorghum seed during the past two m on the has been lively and the outlook Is that thousands of acres will be sown daring the next month, r six weeks with these seed wtth the Idea of producing forage. While It Is a fact that there Is less rotton in the hands of the farmers of this county at present than at the aame season for several years. It Is also true that much of that not sold several weeks ago when the price reached 10 cents, is now being turn ed loose. PLEASKD WITH MR. TAFT. Ann Authorities Endeavoring to Lo rn te .person w rw ouppuea r n.r. . With Steel Saw and OtiM Article The Find Oreatea a Mild Sensation. Special to The Observer. WariMhnra Ma.V 21. The tODlC OI conversation llfre to-day Is the new brought by The Observer mis morn- nr of the finding of ateei saws in u cell occupied by J. L Fox at the county Jail Saturday evening. in of ficials had kept quiet and the people D.n.r. 1 1 ir nor icnamnt. It seems now that the information was first given to Sheriff Martin ny one oi wie prisoners who had given bond and had been" released. Tha aherlff then made a search assisted by two depu ties and Policeman Rodfern and found a file, a saw frame and a saw over twelves Inches long. Fox also had a pocket knife, a raaor and a bot tle of whiakoy In the celt He denied all knowledge of the presence of tha saws but Sheriff Martin la on the track of the party who is thought to have taken them to the Jail. A ball of twine was .found hidden In the cell and the officers think that Fox drew the tools Into the cell tlu-ough tha window with the twine. The glass was broken out of tha win dow and could be reached from the steel cell In which Fox was locked. Fox hae been allowed visits frsm hla wife and some friends and was ap parently a good prisoner and this was possibly the reason why the officers did not suspicion him and watch him more olosely. Kherlff Martin aisccv ered some one on the outside of the Jail several nights ago and started af ter him but did net catch him as he ran away. This Is thought to have been the party who was ramen lng the saws to the twine. Interest ing developmenis are expected In tha next few days. Oxford Singing Class Meeting With Meneea Bawrw. Special to The Observer. Oxford, May Z3. on me nrsv or Mitfrn tnnr of the Oxford Orphanage singing class this time the patronage has thus far Deen exceptionally iujo and the tour, which will not close until June 21. bids fair to be In every reaped the most successful yet made of this section. The entertainments are considered by many the best ever given y tha singing class of this most worthy In stitution. We are glad the concerts are meeting wlth such patronage and approval. After an Interval of about a month spent at Oxford, the class will enter upon Its second or western tour. The orphan' homes of North Caro lina rank among the best Institutions of this character In the country. Our people are deeply Interested In them, ready to give them support and to aid them to become even more efficient. i Silk Mill School in Anson Haa a Prosperous Session. Special to The Observer.

Vorkvflle Democrat Who Yiulted Charlotte Eulogize Uie Ireiuiit. Special to The Observer. Yorkville. 8. C, May 2 3. The peo ple of this section have always felt a deep personal Interest In Charlotte, and while not so many attended the celebration last Thursday as would -have done so had the weather been more promising on the morning of tnat aay, all who did go are satisfied that had conditions been favorable It would have far surpassed any previ ous attempt that hs ever been made In the way of celebrating any event In the South. Words of sympathy for Charlotte were freely spoken by hun dreds who did not go, because of the disappointment that It was known that her citizena would feel over the manner In which she had been treat ed by the weather bureau. Your cor respondent haa heard dyed-ln-rhe-wool Democrats who were there, speaking of having shaken hands with Presi dent Tart and eulogizing him as be Ing a great, good, honest and sincere tnna and. aa being very different from what they had pictured him in their miods to be after devouring the cam paign rot dished out about him by some of the partisan newspapers. Sorrell May Be Set Kree To-Day But Will Be Ke-Arrested. Bpeolal to The Observer. Durham. May 23. Albert V. Sor rell. who has been sixty days in jail n a charge of alienating the affec- tlena of Mrs. H. F. Edwards, and against whom has been started a suit of 110.000 damages, will In all proba bility be released to-morrow. V'At a hearing before Clerk C. B. ureen two mourns ago, there was ap plication for release on the insolvent debtor's oath made by the defendant. The prosecution took the ground that there had been fraud in the affidavits of Sorrell that he had no property above the required $50 for exemption. Because of the charges of fraud, the prosecution asked that he be held. In a word, the fight thus far has been to "hold the prisoner in jail. The .suit against the defendant is not stopped by this transaction and it la understood that he will be arrest ed upon another charge as soon as he Issues from jail. Durham's New Police Force Chosen. Special to The Observer. Durham, May 23. The police and fire commission has chosen the force for the next year's official duty. Capt. J. F. Freeland Is again elected chief of police; J. W. T.

J. Rlgsbee. None of them failed to have his hearing In court and all were put off for charges, no inti mation of which has been given to the press or public. Slxlng Up the Matter. Nashville American. "Well meant, but a sad error," Is the conservative Judgment of The Charlotte Observer after reviewing the appointment of a Democrat to the Federal bench In North Carolina by President Taft. This ooncluslon Is founded upon the general proposition that the appointment Is a "conspicu ous Injustice" to a State which gave the President over 4S per cent, of its vote. "Well meant, but a sad error" Is exceedingly good. Tilley Begins Sentence. BpaoJal to The Observer. Durham, May 21. W. H. Tilley leaves to-morrow for Raleigh where he begins doing eight years for man slaughter. .Tilley appealed from tha conviction and sentence of eight years. While it was bta defense that he did not shoot Intentionally his wife, the-jury agreed upon manslaughter largely becau it had an "element of punishment l" It and tha State had failed to make out tha case of murder. The relatives of Tilley were afraid of him and chose the short sentence rather than the risk that attended his liberty. v THE WEATHER.
