Death OF CrOxtOn Small

The death angel has visited our
home again and claimed Croxton
as it's victim. Croxton was a good
and obedient son and a kind
and affectiouate brother. He was
aged. II years 6 months and "a
days. 1t is hard to part with our
loved ones but we pray God to
reveal himself to us as the God of
all comfort in this our bereave-
ment.
Dear brother, we know that thou hast gone
TO rest
Thou hast met thy loved ones gone before
We miss thee, we miss thy loving face.
But our loss is your eternal, eternal gain.
We miss thee from our home Croxtou,
We miss thee from this place
Our home is duh without thee, Croxton,
We miss thy smiling face.
We miss thee now, dear brother,
We miss thee every day.
Our pathway is lonely without thee,
Along the darksome way.
Peaceful be thy slumber, Croxton.
Peaceful be thy grave so low.
Thou no more shall join our number,
And no more our sorrows know.
Dear brother 1t is hard 10 give thee up!
Yet, again we hope to meet thee,
When the day OF life is fed,
Then in heaven with Joy to greet thee.
Where no farewell tear is shed.

SHOUTING PARTY At HONEA
PATH.
editor Moore Uses Gun on Mer-
chant Sharp.

Greenwood, May 6.-There was
a little shooting party at Hones
Path this afternoon in which Ed .
tor Moore, of the Honea Path
Chronicle, was the shooter and
W. @. Sharp, merchant of the
town, was the shootee. The trouble
grew out of some reference in this
weeks Issue of The Chronicle to
the affairs of the firm of Sharpe
& Robinson, which have been in
bad shape for some time. The
firm failed this week. This after
noon Sharpe called Moore to per-
sonal account for the publication
, and the difficulty followed. Sharpe
seems to have been aggressor, and
had Moore backed against a wall,
when Moore drew a pistol and
fired two shots, one ball struck
Sharpe in the abdomen, inflicting
a serious though not necessarily
fatal wound. The second shot
passed through Sharpe's leg and
struck a brick wall. glancing and
inflIcting a slight flesh wound in
the leg of G. w. Rush, standing
near. Passengers on the incom-
ing train from Honea Path say
public sentiment is generally in
favor Of Moore, and that he was
.iustifiable.--The State.

FARMERS SHOULD
REAP THE RESULTS.
ANNOUNCEMENT AS TO THE
SUMMER INSTITUTES.
What President HartzOg Says.

eTS institutes TO De nelQ In many
Of the counties of the State this
summer aud has made the follow.
ing announcement in regard to
them:
Farmers institutes will be held
in limited number of counties
this summer for the instruction
of the people In various branches
of agricultural science. The
course of lectures will be arrang-
ed to present to those in attend
ance the results of the most re.
cent Investigations in theoretical
and practical agriculture, and, as
far as possible, to make the sub
jects discussed meet the special
needs of the locality where the
institute is held.
All expenses of the meeting
will be met by the college. The
community in which the institute
is held is expected to provide a
suitable place for the speaking,
to advertise the meeting and to
arrange the minor details. 1t is
desirable that local speakers and
writer's assist in the exercises of
the institutes by discussing sub
jects in which they are most in
terestod, or in which they have
had successful experience.
1t may not be practicable al
ways to hold the institute on the
day desired by the community, as
different places sometimes ask
for the same date. The final Sc
lection of the date must, there
fore, be left to the college author
lties, but the wishes of the COM
munity will be observed as far as
possible.
1t is the policy of the college TO
lengthen, when desirable, the ses-
sions of the Institutes. We realize
that the best results cannot be
obtained from one day meet
ing. The scope and character of
the work should be broadened
year after year. Where sufficient
interest is manifested the insti-
tute will be conducted for longer
period than a day.
This work will begin about the
first of August, and applications
should be sent in at once. Specify
the time and place, and the names
Of the gentlemen who are willing
to serve on the local committee.
The subject discussed at the
institutes should be adapted to
local conditions. We therefore
ask those interested to designate
the subjects that are believed to
be Of the most interest the locali-
ty.
Among the subjects that the
members of the institute staff are
prepared to discuss may be men
toned:
Improvement of Soil" Grass
es and Legumes," horticulture" :"
PLANT Diseases" Botany" "En
tomology," "Insects and Insecti.
cides," Methods of Spraying" )"
''DaryIng,"" Animal Husbandry, :"

SALE OF COPPER PROPERTY
COLORADO MINE REPORTED
BOUGHT BY UTAH CONCERN.
Price Paid 100000 and Properties
Are Said to Be as Rich as Any
In the Country.
lSpecial to The Herald.)

Montrose, Colo, May S.-A deed from
James n. Mcbride of this county to the
La Sal Copper Mining company has just
been filed. The consideration is $780,
coo. The property sold was the Red
Bird, Red Chief, Angel, Bonnie, Horse
Shoe, Malachite, Maud, Titan, Cumber-
land, Canon, Deer, Silver Bell, Detroit,
White Pine and Lulu lode claims, and
several mill sites, all in Paradox val
ley. Montrose county, Colorado.
This group comprises the property
which has been worked the past year
by the La Sal Copper Mining company,
on La Sal creek. This company has been
shipping steadily the past few months
the ore just as it comes from the mine.
The returns have been decidedly salts
factory, netting about $3.50 per car. The
ore has a very heavy per cent of cop
per, but is also rich in precious metals.
The La Sal company is said to be a
Utah concern.
ed full control OF the property, which
is as rich as any on earth, said a
prominent mining man this morning.
THE Red Chief, which is the only one
of the group that has been developed.
makes a showing that cannot we'll be
equaled. The high grade ores carries
from 80 per cent to so per cent of cop
per, and from 100 TO $50 ounces of silver
and 106 carloads that have been treated
by the smelters here and in Pueblo
have shown a mean average of $109 per
ton"

FOR MURDER OF HER MOTHER.
Sensational Trial Attracting Atten-
ton In Pittsburg

Pittsburg Pa, May S.-The jury to-
try Bertha BeilStein for the murder OF
her mother at their home, 20S Spring
Garden Avenue. Allegheny, Oct. last,
was completed at 1 o'clock this after
noon and the trial proceeded, the bal
ance of the day being occupied in the
statement of the case by the proSecu-
ting attorney and the hearing of sew
erai witnesses.
The terrible nature of the crime for
which Miss Beilstein is arranged is the
killing of her mother. her own futile
attempt at suicide, as a result of which
she fingered for months between life
and death with horrible wounds in her
head and abdomen; the suicide Of old
''Uucle Davy'' Refs, following so soon
after the murder in October last, and
finally the last catastrophe in the ter
rible family tragedy-the suicide of her
brother Edward on his murdered moth
er's grave in Vogtliers cemetery, i'm
Towerhill, just six weeks from the ILL
starred day in October, has made this
one of the most sensational cases in the
history of crime.
The trial of the young woman as a.
consequence is being watched with
morbid interest, and one of the evil
dences of the excitement it is causing
was the crowd that thronged the court
house corridors this morning long be-
fore the doors of the criminal court
were opened.

BANQUET FOR THE ADMIRAL.
New York Preparing For Grandest
Affair Ever Given.

New York, May S.-Admiral Dewey
has cabled to this city his acceptance
of an invitation to q banquet to be
given in his honor by 100 prominent cit
liens.
1t is likely that Admiral Dewey will
return to this country as soon as
peace negotiations with the insurgents
have been concluded. He will return
via the Suez canal, and come to New
York. While the exact date of his de-
parture must depend in a large meas
ure upon the conclusion of terms of
peace with the insurgents, it is eX-
pected by the Washington authorities
that the hero of Manila will leave the
Philippines within a week or two.
Thirty-seven citizens have already
announced their intention to subscribe
800 each for banquet in honor of the
great captain, and there is no doubt
that the list will be filled by the sixty
three others necessary to make the 100
men and the $4,000 pla-ned for.
Thus, when Admiral Dewey does ar
rive, which is believed will not be until
late in August or early in September,
there will await him, in addition to the
civic celebration, which will be most
elaborate, a banquet, the most splendid
ever prepared for an officer.
President Mckinley and Secretary of
the Navy Long will be invited to the
banquet. Whether or not they will at
tend is another matter. If they con-
suited their private wishes no doubt
they would come here to honor the
sailor, but etiquette plays a large part
in such matters.
