WAS VETERAN OF TWO WARS.
Death of Gen w. :. walker who Has
Record as Fighter.

a RECORD as "a Fighter.
Atlanta. June Gen William s. Wal
ker. a veteran OF both the Mexican and
civil wars and an Indian fighter of dis
tinction died at the Grady Hospital this
morning aged 76 years.
Gen. Walker, though desperately wound
ed during the civil war, kept in fairly good
health until last February, when he
slipped up on the icy sidewalk and receiv-
ed such a shock that he never rallied. Grip
complicated his injury and FASTENED the
end,
Gen. Walker was a scholarly gentle
man, and was quite well known among
men Of letters. At the battle of POcotala-
go, S. c., where he defended his position
against 40OO of the enemy while his own
forces numbered only 500, he gained the
soubriduet of Live Oak Walker"
He began his military career under the
appointment of President Polk, and as a
lieutenant at the battle of Chapultepec he
scaled the fortress and was the first
American to reach the Mexican colors.
Gen. Walker leaves three daughters, all
married. Mrs II. NJ. Peoples of this city,
Mrs. Anita Anderson and Mrs Archer
Smith Of Madison Fla, and one son, w.
S. Walker, Jr, of this city.
Gen. Walker was a prominent member
o. the Atlanta veteran camp, and his flu
neral viii be the occasion of an appropri-
ate demonstration by his old comrades.
The death at Hogansville of 4. T.
Doobs. senior member of the wholesale
crockery house of DObbs x Wey, oc
curing at the same time of that of Gen.
Walker, Is a coincidence. Mr.. Dobbs
like Gen. Walker, was a victim of the
February freeze. He slipped and fell on
the ice. sustaining internal injuries which
cansed his death.

reported 10 the police this morning. This
is the second within a week.
Charles Hightower, a negro janitor, was
arrested on suspicion of the first theft,

that the janitor was in jail when last

About the years 1888 or 1889, Mr..
Olsen visited Cuba to ascertain the
practicability Of engaging in ap1cul-

of New York city having established
the first American apiary the winter

10th to March 2Oth, they. hold their

locality of New Smyrna" From this
we determine that at the lowest cal

colony of bees with safety each season.
Mr.. Olsen's location is six miles south
of New Smyrna on the mainland, anu
One-half mile from the Mangrove on
the river. The celebrated Turnbull
Hammock is situated within easy
reach of this and other apiaries as far
south as Oak Hill, giving this location
special advantages for spring forage.

dated Punta Bravo, Cuba, w. l., Oct.

1872 1-3 pounds.
Previous to the destruction of the
Mangrove by the frost Of Jan. 1886, the

rObOrated by some of our Oldest resi-
dents, among whom are Mr.. BartOlO,
G.. Pacetti, now living near New Smyr,
ma Inlet,% who came here from st.
Augustine in 1916, descendant of
Andrew TurnbulPs MinOrcans, who
settled New Smyrna in 1865.
He states the surrounding country
was plentifully supplied with bee
trees. He was an employee Of Doug
lass Dummitt, who owned a planta-
ton on the TOmOka, and whose sum-
mer residence was on the shell mound
south OF New Smyrna bridge. Capt.
Dummitt and his father had resided
on the East Coast since the English
occupation and kept bees almost con-
tinuOusly during that time.
For many years Dummitt kept bees
at the shell mound, and sold the place
to Major George J. Alden after the
close of the war Alden was port col
lectOr for a number of years. Among
his employees was Morrison Lewis,
who now owns the place and to him is
Justly due the credit of making the
first frame hives about 1875, he having
secured his first swarm from the. cy-
press swamp in 1870. Up to 1875 there
was no person that kept bees in frame
hives on the coast In August, 1878, he
got his first extractor from A. [. Root,
of Medina, Ohio, having it made
to suit the frames, and as far as
known was the first extractor IN the
State. His first shipment of extracted
honey was in October, 1878, to Thur
bur & Co., of n. Y. He sold his bees
in 1882. keeping a few for home use.
Mr.. w. G.. HOwes. of Oak Hill, states
that Mr. Israel Hatch from ArOOstoOlS
Co., Maine, brought the first frame
hives in 1872, but there is no record
that he kept bees in them. He was u
brother of Ira Hatch and uncle of
Fred Hatch.
Oak Hill, were Jonathan Fountain and
Goodrich Brothers. On the Halifax,
were Col Marshal, Peter Johnson and
Judge c. G. Sutton. Bees were very
plentiful. Mr.. Pacetti stated that IA
or Is bee trees were found and cut in
two days, furnishing all the honey and
wax an OK team could draw.
OF the earlier bee-keepers, e. G.
Hewitt was among the first to adopt
the movable frame hive, Mr.. VIM.

In October, 1880, Mr.. Olaf Olsen
came from Ohio bringing IA colonies of
bees with him. He stopped with Mr..

COTTON FUTURES.

New York. Dec. 15-The outcome of to-
days pendulauons in the market for cot
ton futures was not especially gratifying
to either the bull or the bear side. Nor
was the volume of speculation satisfac-
tory, In fact, business was restricted
largely to general cleaning up of scat
tered accounts in preparation for the pro-
tracted holidays, now so close at hand,
and for the most part prices were gov
erned by buying and selling orders as re-
ceived. The market opened steady with
prices points higher, the advance being
In conformity to an Improvement in the
English market Notwithstanding the
sluggish trade conditions. the undercur-
rent of sentiment was easily diagnosed as
of very bullish average. Light receipts
evident strength abroad, firmness Of
Southern spot markets, advancing ten
dency of home and foreign cloth markets.
bullish showing of Liverpool weekly sta
tistics and equally bullish weekly sum
maries of American statistics, all served
to intensity the friendly feeling towards
the market. Selling for short account
was almost totally lacking throughout the
session; the more reliant bulls purchasing
small lines on the assumption that the
morning cables would reveal higher prices
on the other side. Liverpool bought on
the opening, but later withdrew. The
market, at the close, was steady, l point
higher to l point lower.
