Every Family in the South Should Plant
Pecan Trees.


The pecan tree not only bears one of the most
delicious nuts, but it is one of the most hardy
trees that grows in the South, and makes as fine
a shade tree as the elm or maple and no family
ought to be withOuta few trees. Itwould pay the
town authorities to do as the French authorities
do, plant nut bearing trees on the sidewalks and
get revenue theEefrOm. A town that would
this year put out thousand trees on the side
walks at comparatively small cost would, inten
years getan annual return Of at least $500 90 and
each year there would be an increase until the in
come would reach from three to five thousand dol
lars annually Enough to more than pay all
taxes of an ordinary size town.
The trees do well planted in cotton and corn
fields, and farmers can cultivate the lands in crops
of corn and cotton until the trees get to bearing.
and after they commence bearing farmer with
ten to twenty acres has small fortune in his
pecan grove and don't need to plant cotton and
corn. The tree is hardy and stands the cold
weather anywhere south of Maryland. At Pine
| bluff, North Carolina, there is a company that
makes speciality of growing the young trees for
sale, and we advise the town authorities, and all
readers of our paper, to write the Pinebluff Grape
g. Pecan Company, Pinebluff, N. c., for circulars.

Next Monday is april Fools
Day" The custom of making fools
on the first day of April is said to
have originated from the mistake
of Noah in sending the dove out of
the Ark before the waters had abat-
ed, on the first day of the month
among the Hebrews; and to perpet-
uate the memory of this deliverance
it was thought proper, whoever for
got so remarkable a circumstance,
to punish them by sending them
upon some sleeveless errand similar
to that Intellectual message upon
which the bird WAS sent by the Pa
triarch. The custom appears tc
be of great antiquity, and to have
been derived by the Romans from
some of the Eastern nations.

FEDERAL WARDS MAKE SUCCESS
Full ATTEMPT AT FREEDOM.
TWENTY-SIX ARE AT LARGE
One Man Killed and Three Dangerous
iy Wounded in Battle With Guards
-ConVicts Employed in Building
New United States Prison-Fugi-
tves Hold Up Farmers.

Leavenworth, Kas., Nov 8.--One
man was killed, three others danger
ously' wounded and twenty-six desper-
ate convicts are at large as a result
of mutiny late yesterday afternoon
at the site of the new United States
prison, two miles southeast of here,
where 400 federal prisoners in charge
of 80 armed guards were at work.
When the trouble began the rebellious
prisoners had only two revolyers.
These had been secreted in one Of the
walls of the building by unknown
persons. There are two walls partly
completed and the remainder of the
site is surrounded by a high wooden
stockade. Gus Parker of Ardmore,
Indian Territory, one of the ringlead-
ers of the mutiny, under pretense of
necessity, walked to the corner of the
stoCkade, where the revolvers were
concealed. and secured them without
being detected. He returned and
passed one to Frank Thompson, a ne
gro, who secreted it about his person.
When T. E. Kinds, superintendent of
construction, and three unarmed
guards prepared TO round up the men
at the end Of the days work the two
armed convicts covered them with
their revoIyers and encouraged by
other mutinous cOnvicts forced the
men to walk before them to the north
western corner of the stockade, where
they expected to make a rush through
the opening Outside of the stockade
was the armed guard and the convicts
were met by c. z. Burrows, a guard,
who fought them back, but who re
ceiyed two shots in the neck. The
convicts rushed to the south wall and
were met by Arthur Treeford, an
armed guard Treeford resisted the
convicts and was shot twice, but not
dangerously wounded Defeated in
the attempt to escape at this point
they ran to the guard house, where
the arms were kept. The guards from
the outside rushed in at this point and
drove the convicts away. J. P. Walk |
rup shot and instantly killed Ford |
Quinn. The prisoners then rushed |
for the main entrance and twenty-siX |
escaped. Closely followed by the /
guards, they ran to the forest and sue |
ceeded in evading their pursuers. |
They went in the direction Of Easton, |

Ii Hung Chang was 80 years old.
He was a native Of AnhOui, one OF the

There he grew to manhood and. his

into public notice about the time of
the Tai Ping rebellion, and the mill

the rebels at first secured for him
many important commands and subse-

to the highest position in the empire

of China, If all reports are correct he
was also the grand old bOOdler of

Pekin, Nov. Iii Hung Chang died
at II O'Clock this morning. Physi-
clans who had been in constant attend
ance upon the grand old Chinese
statesman announced early yesterday
that he could not survive the coming

caught him at work ordered him to re

next morning when the doctors called
to examine their patient they found
him unconscious. From that moment
