Charlotte, X. C., Jan. 24.
—News of a terrible crime which has
few parallels in the state’s criminal his
tory is received tonight from Cumber
land! county near.Fayetteville.
Yesterday about noon a negro by the
name of Bill Brewington, who is a very
desperate character, was strolling about
Wade’s Station on the Gape Fear aad
Yadkin Valley railroad, planning devil
ment in bis heart In a little village liv
ed anaged l&dy by the name of Miss
Charity McAllister, and with her lived
her nephew, Alexander McAllister, and
young lady relative. Soon the negro
had his plot perfected and when no man
was near the house he entered with an
axe concealed under his coat, but this he
laid down secretly before anyone obsery
ed him.
THE CBIHE CONTEMPLATED.
The crime which he contemplated was
the most diabolical and fiendish. He had
been told that Miss McAllister had in
the bouse $400, and this he first propos
ed to put in his pocket, even if murder
was necessary to do it. Next, he pro
posed to commit an outrage upon the
person of the young lady and flee.
Without making any signal, he walked
though one room and closed the door be
hind him,leaving his axe in a convenient
place. He then, when face to face with
Miss McAllister and the young lady,
said.
‘‘Younglady, standstill. Don't at
tempt to leave or give any alarm—if you

do, ipstant death will follow.”
SCATTERED HER BRAINS ON THE BLOOD.
He then grabbed Miss McAllister by
the hands and commanded her to give
him the key to her trunk.but she scream
ed; and the negro, fearing her screams
would be heard,dragged her to the room
door where he had left bis axe and tak
ing it in his handhe scattered her brains
upon the floor. The young lady, who
was compelled to stand by and see all
this, fainted, and while they both lay
upon the floor the negro ransacked the
house, but lound no money. He then
walked to the young lady and was in
the act of committing the outrage when
footsteps were heard and he ran out
through the back yard to the woods.
PURSUED AND LYNCHED.
It was the old lady’s nephew coming
and when he opened the doer. of his
murdered aunt, the ghastly sight greeted
his eyes. Through the window he caught
a glimpse of the negro fast running into
the woods. He, without waiting one mo
ment, with gun in hand, started*in pur
suit. Soon the news of the fearful
tragedy spread and in a few minutes,
more than a dozen indignant citizens
with their blood boiling and well armed
were on the fiend’s track. He was head
ed off within about two hours and with
out allowing him one moment’s grace his
body was riddled with bullets.
Savannah, Ga., Nov. 15, 1888,—Wjll
it not pay you to keep posted about the
course of the fertilizer market? We
think it will, and take the liberty ot
giving you our views.
Prices on kainit and all manufactured
fertilizers have already actually advanc
ed anywhere from $2 50 to $4.00 per ton
abnre last year’s figures, and we look
for a still further advance later in the
season in the same way and for the same
reason that it came last year. At the
beginning of last year the stock of fer
tilizers carried over unsold in Southern
Ports from the season before was not far
from 45,000 tons. The demand took
all this and caused every Southern fac
tory to run one month later than usual,
winding up the season with acid cham
bers and storage bins perfectly empty,
so that at the start this year no one had
anything on hand, and had only eleven
months to manufacture in instead of
thirteen, as they had the past season—
heuce the supply will not he equal to
the demand. This'of itself would cause
a guarded advance in prices, but manu
facturers will probable not realize every
advantage from this before February 1st.
The actual advance, already accomplish
ed has been forced upon manufacturers
to their detriment by many other causes,
especially the following:
1st. The miners of phosphate rock
found that they must quit the
business they had been conducting with
loss, and they raised the price of their
goods from 25 to 35 per cent, over last
year’s prices.
2d; Ocean freights from England and
Germany have advanced to such a high
figure that all potash lots now cost
much more than last year, this advance
being in some cases as muclf as $3.00 to
$400 per ton. This freight advance adds
that much to the cost of all potash in
this country, and also prevents the im
portation of English acid phosphate to
any extent. Formerly this foreign acid
has been brought here in considerable
quantities, and had a tendency to keep
prices down below a profitable figurr
No relief can be anticipated from this
source, as freight may be still higher.
3rd. Makers of blood tankage, cotton
seed meal and other sources of ammonia
had their factories cleaned out by the
demand last year and have charged and
obtained prices this season 25 to 30 per
cent, higher than last year, with sup
plies still scarce and hard to bay, and
certain to remain so. The same state
of things apples to Northern manufac
turers, but. besides this they cannot com
pete successfully with the low and un
profitable prices prevailing during the
last few years in the South; this with
the fear of adverse legislation, making
it impossible to conduct their business
with safety and profit, is gradually forc
ing them to withdraw more and more,
sending less goods every year; and thus
forcing up prices as the capacity of
Southern factories has not increased
sufficiently to supply the quantity con
sumed.

ABOUT SEVEN MILLION
la How The Athens Cotton Men Estimate
Tho C rop.
Estimates on the cotton crop for the
season of ’88-89, are now in order.
The merchants in the different cotton
markets are making their calculations
and giving the results.
The crop last season amounted to 7,-
000,000 bales, and the merchants of Au
gusta are inclined to place the crop at
the same figures this season.
The Charleston merchants place the
crop at 7,500,000 bales, but it is con
ceded by buyers, that they are far
above the mark.
Friday a B W. reporter visited
several prominent buyers of this city
and asked for their estimates on the
crop for ’88-89.
Mr. R. L. Moss was first seen, and
said:
“1 will place thp estimate at 6,800,-
000;’’
Mr. George Mason at the Reaves
Warehouse Co.
“I don’t think $ho receipts will
far over 6,850,000 bales.”
Mr. Joe Ash.
”1 should place the estimate at 7,000,
000 bales.”
Mr. Jankower:
“I think 6,950,000 hales will come
pretty close to the receipts this season,
Coi. S. (J. Dobbs:
“The cotton crop I should say will
reach 6,800,000 bales. ■ It will be neces
sary to have a great increase before they
reach seven millions.”
Orr & Hunter:
. “We place the estimate at 7,OCO,000
bales.”
Capt J. H. Rucker:
“I should say the receipts would reach
7.200,000 bales. f ':■■■>£
The Henderson Warehpuse Co:
“We place the estimate at 7,000,000
bales.”
The recent rise in cotton has caused
the interior warehouses and farmers to
rush it on the market. In conversation
with a prominent c.tton buyer yester
day, he said that the receipts at all of
the cilies and, at the ports, were exceed
ingly large, which showed that the far
mers or the warehouses had been hold
ing back for a good price.

TO WEAR THE SWORDS.
Our prize drawing came off Friday
afternoon as published. A large crowd
witnessed the drawing and everything
passed off to everybody’s satisfaction.
We.wish we had a buggy, a stove and a
sewing machine for every subscriber on
our books,but as we had oitfy one of each
we had to resort to a drawing to decide
as to whom to present the prizes.
The drawing is perfectly simple and
absolutely fair. We take our subscrip
tion lists-and dr aw off every name;: that
has paid up in advance. Opposite eaph
name we put a number beginning with
1 and numbering to the end. We then
place these numbers on* common gun
wads and put them in a closed box. In
another ho: we place an equal number
of wads, all blank save four on each of
which the name of one of tho prizes is
written. Some gentleman then draws
one wad at a time from both boxes until
some number matches with the prizes.
Suppose the wad bearing the number 25
is diawn and at the same time a wad
bearing the word “buggy” from the oth
er box. We refer to our list and the
name opposite 25 takes the buggy and
so on u&til all are drawn.
The drawing took place at 5:30
o’clock, and our office was crowed, Col.
Zeke Edge managed the drawing which
resulted as follows:
Stove—F. M. Matthews, Point Peter,
Oglethorpe county.
$25 in Gold—Henry Thomas, of El-
berton.
Bug^y—W. D. O’Farrell, of Athens.
Sewing Machine—P. H. Adams, of
Wilkes county.
Everything passed off most satisfac
torily. The prizes are held subject to
the order of the winners, who will please
call for them.
The B.anner-Watchuan prizes were
the topic of conversation Saturday.
Every one seemed satisfied with the
drawing, especially the winners. Those
who drew blanks say they have no
cause to complain, for they will get the
worih of their money in the subscrip
tion to the paper, -
Mr. P. H. Adams, the gentleman
who drew the sewing machine, is a
promising young lawyer of Wilkes coun
ty. He is a graduate of the University
of Georgia, and at present is unmarried.
Here is a chance for some girl to get a
good husband, a sewing machine and a
year’s subscription to the B.-W.
Mr. Thomas, who won tho $25 in gold
lives in Elberton, and is m the livery
stable business.- He was] telegraphed
Friday night of his good luck, and in
reply be states that be will subscribe to
the B.-W. to his dying day.
Saturday he telegraphed Mr. L G.
Swift, who is now in the city, to call and
get his prize. It had already been sent
him in the shape of a check for $25.
Mr. Matthews, the winner of the
stove, is a farmer in Oglethorpe county.
He is of coarse delighted with the re
sult of the draVRng, and has kindly in
vited the B.-W. force to come out same
time and partake of a\ country dinner
prepared on a Charter Oak stove.
CapL O'Farrell, of Athens, will take a
ride in bis prize buggy a3 soon as the
weather clears off and the streets ;dry.
This was the leading prize given away.
