ONE CONVICT KILLED AND TWO OTHERS

A freaky flash OF lightning
passing through ten men at At

killed Frank Dent, who was the
last in a row of eleven men
Dent was a convict, and was
strung on a chain with ten com
panions, when death came sud>

quickly was his life snapped out
that his associates, through
whom the death current ran,
knew nothing of their danger
until they observed Dents life
less form upon the ground be-
side them.
The batch Of eleven convicts
were working i'll field when a
severe storm came up. The
guard quickly strung the. gang
upon a long chain and hustled
them toward tree. Dent WIS
at one end of the chain, while
the other end was made fast to
the tree, thus securing them.
A bright fash came and IN an
instant the tree was in siolinters.
Swapping and sizzling, the
current leaped from the tree
along the links of the chain
making a cracking noise as i
went up. The fash blinded the
gang, and long before the sui
phuric smell passed away the
convicts awoke from the SHOCK
| to find Dent, on whom the cur

He who hesitates is out.
A closed glove catches no flies
Strike while the pitcher is hot
Where there's hit there's g
way.
A fool and his base is soon

Good pitching in time saves

It's a short game that has nc
kicking.
Never look a swift pitched
ball in the mouth.
Of the making of errors there
is no end.
Two strikes is company, three
is a roast.
A swift rolling grounder

It's poor bath that won't

The race is not always to the

If at first you don't succeed

Manufacturing Farmers.

According to Secretary OF
Agriculture Wilson, the farmers
of the country need to give more
attention to becoming what he
terms manufacturing farmers.
TO illustrate what he means
by manufacturing faamers he
says he never thinks OF selling
any corn, but converts this pro
duct of his great farm into pork
and beef, and thus, according to
his figures, receives 40 cents per
bushel for the corn he produces
instead of Is cents, as he would
do if he shipped the corn to
market.
The Secretary is also of the
opinion that the agricultural
colleges of the country are doing
great deal Of good, and that
that the most successful farmers
are those who mix brains with
their labor, and thus become
practical, scientific cultivators of
the soil.
Mr.. Wilson has been a very
successful farmer himself, and
the indications are that his adj
ministration Of the Agricultural
Department will be equally as
successful, if not more SO, than
that ofany of his predecessors
Richmond State.
