The almond harvest has begun in real
earnest. The yield for this season will
be very heavy and the quality Of the
product will be first class. The Trippel
orchard will yield several tons of fine
paper shell almonds. This almond is
considered to be the very best variety

The large sprinkling wagon, which
was lately furnished by the County to,
the Mesa road district is being used by

Brotherhood is Prosperous.

1t is said that the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen is in more pros
porous condition now than it ever has
been before. The books of the secre-
tsry and treasurer show that in the
last year the treasurer handled nesrly
1925. 900, and that nearly S425 900 was
paid out in death and disability claims,
which numbered 322. Since the report
for the year ending in 1898 was made
the number of lodges has been increas-
ed Is, and at the present time several
lodges are in the process of form alton.
There has been a net increase in mem
bership of $500 excluding in the count
all who left the ranks of the order by
death, by expulsion or by voluntary
withdrawal. The balance on hand
June 30, 1898, was but little short of
$751; 900. The receipts of the year just
ended were little more than S493 600,
bringing the total up to nearly 1853, 600.
There are 548 lodges in the brother
hood Elk.

DEAD BEATS
That Make Use of Hotels for Their

"You would be surprised" said no.
tel clerk the other night, "to know
how many schemers, fakirs, small pro-
moters and curbstone brokers use our
corridors and reading rooms as offices.
They make all their appointments here,
and when prospective victim turns
up they head him into q quiet corner
and transact their business as comfort
ably as they could IN q suite in an Of
fee block. There's an old chap by the
door who has been using the house as
his own for several years, and to
my certain knowledge he has never
spent q penny under its roof. He has
several agencies and patent rights, and
now and then he succeeds in getting q
farmer on the string. The countryman
supposes, of course, that he lives here,
and Is duly impressed by his surround
ings. The old fellow takes him into
the writing room, and if it isn't quiet
enough there he doesn't hesitate to
adjourn to one of the parlors. That's
no unusual case, either. During the
fore part of last carnival when one of
the promoters actually took posses
sion of a private parlor with a couple
of clients, and barred out mum Der of
guests until they could conclude their
Conference Formerly such gratuitous
tenants had their mail addressed to the

"Talk about your csrnivals and ath-

FIGHT BETWEEN SOLDIERS.
Two Badly Hurt by Members of Fourth
Virginia.

Savannah, Ga, April 10.-Private
James Murdock, of Company K, First
North Carolina Regiment is at the gov
ernment hospital in a critical condition.
Private Cook, of the same regiment and
company, is also at the hospital considera-
bly, bruised. Both men were injured yes
terday afternoon near Avondale range by
three members of the Fourth Virginia
Regiment. 1t seems there was quarrel
and fight participated in by several North
Carolina and Virginia men, each party
taking sides. The men were more or less
under the influence of liquor. One of the
Virginians got hold of a heavy railroad
fish plate. With this he struck Murdock
and while he was down pounded him into
insensibilty before he could be rescued by
his friends. Cook attempted to aid Muir
dock in his fight and was badly used up.
Three Virginians have been arrested, but
the officers will not give their names.
Murdoch is likely to die from his injuries.
Cook is not badly hurt.
There is considerable hard feeling be-
tween the North Carolina and Virginia
regiments on account of the row.

Circuit Court.

Tazewell circuit court s still in session
but is likely to adjourn the first of next
week. During the term large amount
Of work has been done on the chancery
side of the court, and a number of cases
on the law docket disposed of. When we
went to press last week the case of Rosa
Hylton VS.. Norfolk and Western Railway
Company, was being tried. 1t is damage
case, in which the plaintiff sued for $4,000
damages for an alleged injury received on
train at Pocahontas. The trial ended on
last Saturday, the jury being unable to
agree upon verdict. This was the Sec
ond time the case had been tried, both
times resulting IN mistrial on account OF
the jury failing to agree.
The trial of the case of P. P. Dillon vs.
Fink, receiver, and others, was COM
menced on Monday, the 10th inst, and
was concluded on the 11th by verdict for
the defendant. This was also Il damage
suit for an alleged injury to the plaintiff on
a train of the Norfolk and Western Rail-
road, at or near Tip Top, in this county.
The present term of the circuit court
has been a successful one so far as the dis
posal of business is concerned, though the
docket was a light one and no cases of
much Importance brought to the attention
Of the court.

MAJOR RUFUS BRITAIN DEAD.
One of Our Oldest and Most Esteemed
Citizens Passes Away.

The death of Major Britain, one of oil
oldest and most esteemed citizens, which
occurred this morning (Tuesday) at
O'Clock, has carried sorrow and mourning
into many households, and cast a gloon
over the whole community. Kind and
gentle in nature, faithful in all the rela'
tions of life, no one could have fallen be-
fore the great Reaper, who will be more
kindly and atfectionately remembered
throughout all this section.
Major Britain was born in Northanp-
ton county, Pennsylvania, June 18th,
1922, and about the year 1850, when in
the full vigor Of his young manhood, cast
his fortune with the people of the South,
and no one was more loyal to our lovely
Southland in all her hopes and aims, than
this child of her adoption. When the
call to arms was made in defence Of our
homes, no one responded with more alac-
rity and cheerfulness than the subject of
this sketch, and until the closing hours Of
that conflict. no heart remained more
faithful to the cause, than his.
He filled all the positions of trust with
which he was honored, with q modesty
and efficiency we'll deserving of mention.
AS Surveyor Of our county, he became
we'll acquainted throughout our section,
and the acquaintance and friendship thus
begun, was ripened and intensified by
the faithful and affabe manner in which
he filled the position Of Deputy Clerk of
our court, succeeding to the office of Treas
urer for the county, for full term.
Major Britain was married September
Goth, 1858, to Sarah E. Peery, daughter of
H. G. Peery, prominent farmer of this
county, and thus has a wide and extern
sive relationship by marriage, who with a
host of other friends, mourn their loss.
He was a consistent member of the
Presbyterian Church, occupying official
positions therein for many years, which
are dissolved only by his death, and of
him it can be said, that his practice and
profession were in accord.
Thus closes useful, happy and pros
porous life, and the voice which has been
so often heard, speaking gentle, cheerful
and kindly words, is stilled in death.
"Life's duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven and earth combine to say,
GLOW blest the righteous when he
dies.m

Marked Improvement in Commerce
With Cuba, Porto Rico and Phil
ippineS
THE FIGURES FOR FEBRUARY.
Both Imports and Exports Show Marked
Gain-InterestIng Statistics Re-
Gently Published by War Depart
ment Are Instructive.

Washington, April 9. Acting Secretary
of War Meiklejohn gave out for publica-
ton to-day some interesting statistics re-
garding the trade of the United States
with the islands of Cuba, Porto Rico and
the Philippines, prefacing them by call
ing attention to the fact that normal con-
ditions of trade have not yet been fully
restored between the islands named.
The returns for February show an in
crease of imports from the islands into
this country amounting to 1914, ,40S, and a
corresponding increase of exports from
the United States to the islands of $685.
269, as compared with the same month a
year ago.
The trade cf the United States with the
Philippines, it is said, begins TO show the
natural growth due to the direction of the
earnest attention of American exporters to
the archipelago. While the exports from
our ports to the Philippine Islands for
February of last year only amounted to
$780, for the same month this year they
are more than nine times as much, being
$40, 529J For the eight months ended
with February IS, 1898, they were only
S69, ,235, while for the corresponding per-
iod of the present fiscal year they show a
gain of nearly 70 per cent, reaching $ll7,-
O2l.
