SCRAP IN A BILLIARD ROOM.

Joe Morris Receives n Pretty Hard
Lick From the Fist of II. j. Benz
nett.
Thomas ]. Bennett, driver of one Of the
Pulaski house buses. and Joe Morris.
proprietor of the Turkish bath establish
ment, had quite a scrap in the Pulaski
house billiard room yesterday afternoon
shortly after o'clock
Morris was seen walking down the
street. and through the square, the back
of his shirt being covered all over with
blood. Those who saw him at first
thought he was seriously injured. but
such, however, proved not to be the case.
The difficulty grew out of a game of pool,
which had been going on for some time
between Morris and Bennett, and both
of them had been drinking considerable
beer
There came near being a quarrel at sew
eral stages of the game, and finally Ii
came. Just exactly what caused Il is a
matter of uncertainty, but II is said 10
have resulted from some minor point in
the game, which caused one OF the men
TO call the other a liar. More words fol-
lowed, and Morris, II is stated, shook his
finger IN Benefits face very emphatical-
~ This Bennett did not like and be
struck Morris a heavy blow in the eve
knocking him over against the edge of a
door frame. This caused the cut in the
back of his head. from which the blood
flowed pretty freely.
Friends of both parties, who were Ia the
pool room, interfered and prevented any
further hostlities Morris then went
home without his coat, and the wound In
his head and the blood made those who
saw him think he had been badly hurt
The wound was only a slight one, how
ever. and will not cause him any serious
disadvantage.

HOT WEATHER KEEPS UP.
Several ProstratiOns, and One Likely
to BE Fatal.

to BE Fatal.
Mercury went up again to the IS degree
notch yesterday. The mean for the day
was degrees above the average. There
were several prostrations from the heat.
but none of them are likely to be fatal.
James Rock was taken from the tug
Bessie overcome by the heat and was car
ried TO ST. Josephs Inhrmary. His condI-
ton when received at the infrmary was
such as to leave slight hopes OF his re-
covery, but last night his temperature
had fallen and he appeared to be resting
more easily. When stretched on the cor
TO the sisters inquiry, he replied that ne
had neither home nor friends.
Sim Lovett colored man working for
the Smith % Kelly Company. in loading
Madeleine, at the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway wharf, was overcome.
His condition was serious, and he was
sent home in a wagon.
A negro stevedore, working on Ex-
change wharf, loading lumber on a
schooner was overcome, and was sent to
his home.
Work on the river and along the
wharves went on very slow. At the rail-
road wharves very little was DONE and
the loading OF ships was very slow. The
heat was so intense that few people
could stand exposure to the sun. Al
through the city the effects OF
the heat on people and an.
finals were seen. The streets were de-
serted during the hottest part of the day
and people only came out when they were
compelled to.
The hot weather continues general ovel
the entire south. Eight stations in Tho
Little Rock district of the cottor
belt reported an average highest TEN,
perature of l02 degrees. There is no in
dication of a let up here, and the smell

DRUGGISTS Az OUTS.
One Partner in Firm at Law
Against the other Partner.

A bill for injunction and receiver was
filed in the superior court yesterday by
Elijah Crawford against S. Arthur Cox,
the petition being filed by George w.
Beckett, Esq, representing the plaintiff
Crawford and Cox have been for quite
while partners in the drug business at
Price and CASTOR streets, the former fur
nishing the larger amount of the capital
and the latter the experience. The firm
has been known as S. Arthur Cox & Co
Crawford alleges that his partner in bust
ness has been allowing the business 10
run down, and that he has been in divers
way squandering the profits arising from
1t. he says he wants a stop put to this
and applied for an injunction and receiver
A temporary restraining order was gram
ed, and the case will come up for a hear,
ing as to the receivership Saturday morn
ing at 10 o'clock

court here yesterday. 1t was thought the
case would come up in Macon last Mon
day, but it was announced at that time
that settlement would probably be ef-
Iected' ana the court took no action in the
matter. 1t Is believed now that this lit
igation, which involves many thousands.
will be settled within a few days.

Vice President st. John Of the Seaboard
Air Line says in reference to the in
junction issued against his roads cutting
rates: Il propose to obey all lawful or
ders OF the courts as long as they stand
OF course, but / cannot say what the
coprse OF my company will be until 1
am served with copies of the papers and
have advised with our counsel II the
newspapers have fully and correctly re-
ported what has been done by the court
/ must confess that it will seriously dam
age us In more ways than one In the
hrst place, the interstate commerce com
mission requires that ten days notice be
given OF any raise in rates and the order
Whlch Is SAID 70 nave been passed requires
US TO instantly raise the rates back to
what they were on the 18th of July 1
shall have to take the advice of my coun-
sci as to the proper course to pursue I'M
der these conditions. Furthermore, If this
order is correctly reported, 1t will pre-
vent the Seaboard Air Line from carry
ing out existing contracts in accommodate
ing the public with any sort of excur-
slons or doing any of the many things
which are within the discretion of every
railroad management in the way of con-
Quoting its business. If such action has
been taken in the manner published, it is
easy TO see that the whole of it has been
| inspired by the Southern railway If this
great monopoly expects to throttle COM
petition BY appeals to the courts it will
certainly be mistaken. 1 do not know
what charges or statements are in the
bill presented to the court, but l do know
that the time has not yet arrived in this
| country when a rival railroad can sue
cessfully appeal to the courts upon a
hearing on the merits of the case and
perpetuate its monopoly and prevent the
public from deriving the benefits of COM
petition. When our side of the case is
heard and the court is fully advised. there
can be but one end to such an effort and
that is that our position will be sustain
ed. We will meet any suit that has been
brought. and when it is over with. ana
the orders of the court are set aside
we will proceed with the contest to tho
end. The issue cannot be met in this
way, but will have to be met, sooner or
later on the lines upon which it is now
proceeding.

ABOUT 5000 BUSHELS SAVED.
That Much Rice Taken From the
Rice MIL Ruins.

tract for removing the burned rice from
the ruins of the Planters rice mill. have
about finished their task, and have sue
ceeded in getting 5000 bushels Of rice that
is in a fair condition from the ruins
The rice is considered TO be worth about
twenty-five cents a bushel, and as the
expense of removing it, and also of re-
moving the rice that was totally destroy
ed will have to be paid from the salvage.
Il appears that there will be small profits
left both for those who had the contract
for removing il and for the insurance com
panies who are interested in the salvage.

At Beaufort. on Sept 1, the Port Royal
and Augusta railroad, that line which at
tracted so much attention in the last few
years, will be sold under a decree of the
United States court. The Plant system,
it has been understood all along, has its
eye upon the road, and will be a lively bid
der in the field when it is put on the block.
IF the Plant system loses the Port Royal
and Augusta it will probably perfect its
Augusta connection, and, II is said Mr..
Plant values that road as too great a
feeder for his line to let it pass into the
control OF another system. The Plant
system also has its eyes on a little road
from Wollerton going in the direction of
Augusta, and II Port Royal and Augusta

FISH FROM THE EARTH.

Within days ride of New York city
lies the strangest fisherman's paradise
in the world, says the New York Jour
nal. Choice specimens of mountain
trout and other fish of equal delicacy ap.
pear in plenteous number, coming ap-
parently from the bowels of the earth.
There is nothing about these fish to
mark them from others of their own
sort, unless it be that their fi4vor is su-
perior. They make their debut in the
waters of the famous r ,ck spring, near
Bellefonte. Both the spring and its in
habitants are mysteries no one has ever
been able to solve.
Most springs bubble from the ground
and are always supposed to have sandy
bed. This one, however. is a contradic-
ton to the accepted rule. 1t gushes
from cave ten feet high and twenty
feet wide and the water is of marvellous
clearness. No rain ever fell so fiercely
as to even disturb its crystalline ap-
pearance.
Years of investigation have failed to
disclose the facts regarding the source
Of the fish supply. No one has ever
seen single fish swim into the cave.
Hundreds have been observed swimming
out. There is nothing about them that
indicates their being bred 10 subterra-
neao stream.
So far as the inhabitants of that sec
ton and visitors have been able to learn,
the spring is by no means the reappear-
ance of stream that flows out of doors
somewhere else. Its source seems TO be
from some point far beneath the earth's
surface. All this forms natural prob
lem and one that is liIely to remain a
mystery for as many years as it has al.
ready, and no one knows how long that
Is.
There is another spring at Bellafonte
called the Beautiful Fount. Its magni-
tude can best be understood by consid-
eripg the fact that it pours forth 100000
gallons of the purest sort of water. just
beyond the towns limits is spring that
is almost unknown, though fully as much
water comes from it.
Three hundred and sixty-fivs days
every year there steadily flows from it
stream of water two feet deep and ten
feet wide. When the mercury elm bs
the highest there is only difference of
two degrees in the temperature of this
steadily flowing flood.

STOCK.

IL neighbor has flock of sheep
which drops many twins it will be good
policy to obtain some of the eve lambs,
and thus possess that kind of stock
without much expense, and at the came
time test the practicability of breeding
for twins under your own management.
Such a course will certainly procure
more prolific breeders.
1t is claimed that the scab in sheep
has been completely wiped out in Aus
tralla by persistent use of hot baths of
sulphur and tobacco. followed by one of
sulphur and quicklime at temperature
of ITO degrees. Whatever the apparent
condition of an imported sheep, it must
go into the bath. There is no more
scab, but it has been eradicated at a
great cost.
Ole night of slush and cold north
rain will kill your lambs and impair the
health of your whole flock. if they be
not sheltered in dry place. Build your
shelters where the northers cannot blow
through nor the heavy rains drench
them.
In modern civilized society the appe
tite for pure sport is yet far ahead of
that for gambling. aud it is against the
interests of horse breeders to permit
race track gambling. Many more would
indulge their natural love for fast
horses if there was no faint about the
possession of them.
Why should not the breeding and
training of trotting and running horses
bs equally respectable with the breed
iug OF Jersey cows or of highly bred
dogs? 1t is because there stands in the
way the blighting presence of the gam.
bier. Verify. the pool box is against
the breeder.
Our pastures are too short after the
spring bloom is off. We should seed for
the later summer drouth and manure
the fields more richly for full feed from
early spring to late fall, and have less of
the expensive feeding of oil cake and
corn while the grass lasts. Grass beef
is the best in quality and the cheapest
in price.
Our lands have become too valuable
to raise cheap grain or scrub stock. 1t
