SHOT IN SUNDAY CRAP GAME.

Columbus Ledger: Tom Griffin, ne
gro man who resides in the bottom near
Glazes butcher pen. was shot and per-
haps fatally wounded by another ne
gro whose name is Momer Mott near
Griffin's home yesterday afternoon
about 4 o'clock. Griffin was shot in
three places, once in the right breast,
the bullet penetrating the lung, and
twice in the right arm, the two latter
wounds being slight. AS soon as ne
had done the shooting Mott ran away,
and it is supposed that he is now some
where in Alabama. The two men,
with some others. had been engaged
in shooting craps a short time before
the shooting occurred. They had con-
cluded the game and Griffin started to
mount his bicycle to go home when an
argument began between him and Mott
about a nickle which one owed the
other.

THE C4GARMAKERs, STRIKE.

The strike situation at Tampa has
changed very little in the last fey days.
The slow movement of men from the
city, inagugurated several days ago,
keeps up. This is the regular plan of
Resistencia when in a strike and they
always move a number of those who
are dependent upon them for food
while a strike is on. 1t is presistently
rumored that a steamer has been char
tered, and is coming to take away sew
eral hundred at once, but nothing def
mite can be obtained. With a greatly
enlarged police force, a sullen order is
being maintained, and it is not known
just what the next move will be.

A BARN BURNER TO LEAVE.

Quitman Advertiser: On last Thurs
day Mr. W. S. Yates came to town and
notified the authorities that he had
had an interview with Mr.. John Hop
per, Jr., relative to the attempted burn
ing of his barn by Mr.. Hopper on Sat
urday night, last, and that a compro-
mise had been arrived at whereby Mr..
Hopper had agreed to leave this sec
ton of the country. There are several
reasons why Mr.. Yates desired to keep
the matter out of court, principal
among which was the knowledge of
several other parties having been ac-
cessory to the crime and the all but
utter impossiblity of bringing the en-
tire gang to justice. AS far as Mr.
Yates is concerned. Mr. Hopper is now
free to go where he pleases. but the
next grand jury will no doubt take the
matter in hand and a state warrant
will be issued for him.

GRADING HONEY.
People Like What Is Good and Like
1t Better if IL Looks Good

The bee produces the honey, but
will it make straight combs. even,
white and well capped if hive and Sec
tions are not properly prepared for its
use and if they are not properly cared
for during that use? And if all the
preliminary'work is we'll done, will, the
product be ready for an eXacting mar
ket without additional work and care?
The beekeeper must do more than to
induce his bees to put their product
into clean sections. He must keep the
sections clean and unbroken. He must
meet the demands of the trade.
To do this he must take the honey
from the hive at the right time, must
make each section As clean and invit-
Ing as possible and then assemble the
sections properly in attractive pack
ages.
People like what is good and like it
better if it looks good. What is clean
suits them better if it looks clean. A
stain on the outside of n section does
not make the honey less sweet or less

fore, must be removed before the sec
ton is offered for sale
Uniformity counts. Therefore the
beekeeper must make his packages
uniform-in size, in shape, in color, in
arrangement. \ few leaking sections
are too many. \ single badly graded
case may spoil the sale of a ton of
honey. SO the individual must, be care
full In grading, in handling, in pack
ing and in selling his products.
But this is not enough. The market
Is too big for one man to supply. Honey
is bought and sold by the carload-even
by the trainload-and the buyer Is wise
enough to insist on uniformity of grad
ing in the whole lot The packages
must he uniform or he will complain.
The packing must be uniform or he
will find fault. The honey itself must
be uniform or he will not pay the,high-
est price for It,

ought to he, says Secretary Working
