PLUNGED INTO THE RIVER
Mr.. D.. n. Chadwick's Mare Ran Away
with a Road Cart YeSterday-He and
n Friend were Slightly Hurt by Being
Thrown out of the Cart.

Yesterday forenoon just before IL
O'Clock a runaway horse with a road
cart attached, made people clear the
track from n end Of Market street to
the other. Tt was Mr.. D. n. Chadwick's
horse. In the morning he drove out to
his truck farm in East Wilmington,
accompanied by Messrs. Charlie Jacobs
Frank Denny, two produce commission
travelling men. In returning, Mr.. Chad
wick sat in the lap of the two gentle
men and was driving. When near Mr..
L. B. Rhodes butcher pen beyond the
national cemetery, one of the bolts
holding up the seat suddenly gave way,
the backward out
of the Dad cart. Messrs. Chadwick
and Jacobs got slightly hurt but Mr..
Denny only got a shaking up.
The breaking of the seat frightened
the mare and she Runaway, leaving the
three gentlemen behind. She al wild
ly on into town, flying along Market
Irections. She crossed front street, and
probably was heading for Mr.. Chad
wick's store, No. Is Market street, but
men ran out and she kept on to Mar
ket street dock. She would have ruiz
straight over the ferry gang loaf into
water but some one in trying to
stop her caused her to shy to one side,
so she plunged into the dock with the
lroad cart after her. Before she could
get out into deep water some men
Icaught the reins and stopped her in
shallow water where she was cut out
lof the harness n gotten back ashore
by means Of making her jump n the
flat that was nearing the dock from the
opposite side of the river. The mares
legs were considerably skinned but,
strange to say, the seat was bou h

Raleigh, N. c., April 20.
The state today chartered the Abe
marie Furniture Company of Stanley
county, capital $40, OOO; the Mocksville
Chair Company, capital $500, and the
Smithfield Improvement Company, cap
ital S20, 200.
General Thomas F. Toon, state upper
i~ntendnnt of public instruction, left
today for Henrietta, Rutherford coun-
try, to make a speech at a great educa-
tional rally.
1t is expected tina the schools of the
state will make at the next state fair
here the greatest educational exhibit
North Carolina has ever seen. This
will be an added evidence of the very
remarkable increase of public interest
in education
The arsenal is to be removed from
the capitol square. 1t was built in 1926,
at a cost of $1,000. 1t has repeatedly
been condemned as unsafe and unfit
for use as an arsenal.
The state guard receives with pleas
ure the new that it is to be entirely
re-armed, most probably with maya
zine rifles and that it is to be furnished
with a complete outfit of khaki summer
clothing. The act of congress permit
ting the issue Of new rifles in place OF
the old, at no cost to the state, make
possible the re-armament.
There will be quite a stir among
lumbermen when they get the news
as to the discovery of the sneak bill
which is designed to prevent the ship
ment of logs out of the state. " is
| really aimed at Norfolk, Whaleyville
| and Georgetown, S. c. 1t is a sneak
bill becaus the title misleads, and of
| course was intended not to betray what
"a the real intent of the bill. The
question is whether such an act will
hold good in the courts-an act which
says that no one unless he has a saw
mill in this state or is selling logs to a
sawmill in the state shall own or cut
| the timber from over 300 acres of land
1t is said 100, 000, 900 feet of logs are sent
out annually. The legislature might
as well try to prohibit the shipment OF
| gem stones out of the state, unless they
| were first cut into gems.

Walter Silva got Cut with a Knife in
Two Places Last Night-Two Young
White Men Arrested Charged with
the Cutting.

Last night in Carl Stern's saloon on
Water street between Grace and Chest
nut streets, Walter Silva was severely
cut with a knife under the right
shoulder blade and OIL the right arm.
He was in a fight with a young
tryman named Jesse Vernon and in
the mix up. with several taking a hand
or engaging in parting the combatants,
the cutting was done.
Policeman J. s. Bryan heard the row
n rushed in and while he was en-
gagged in stopping the fight and ar
resting the belligerents, his o~vercoat
was slashed in the back and on the
right sleeve. Fortunately the knife
blade did not reach his skin. He ar
rested Silva and Vernon and also John
Rowland, a young la from South
port, who, he vas informed, was the
party who did the cutting. Rowland,
however, denies that he cut Silva
Rowland and Vernon were locked up
at the station house, and Silva was
sent to the city hospital in the ambu-
lance. DR.. A. H. Harriss sewed up his
wounds, and as he refused to stay at
the hospital Police Sergeant c. S. Bur-
nett went out and brought him back
to the city prison. A relative deposit
ed $25 for his appearance before the
Mayor this morning at $50 o'clock, so
he was discharged till then.
Mayor Waddell will investigate the
case this morning.

RAINS IN KANSAS.
The Drought and Hot Spell ID the
SunAower State Broken.
HALF A CORN CROP NOW CERTAIN.
At Least 5O,OOO,OOO Bushels Of the Cereal
May be Raised In the State aud
the Yield May BE Even
Greater,

Topeka, KAN, July 1S.-The rains
that have fallen in Kansas Tuesday
night and yesterday have practically
assured corn yield of at least 50,-
100000 bushels and the yield may be
even greater. The state is under the
influence of low barometrc condi-
ton and more rain is expected. Cor
respondents from numerous Kansas
towns in reporting rains said that the
sky was overcast with clouds last
night and that more rain within a
few hours was certain. The drought
in Kansas has been broken and with
it has gone the excessive hot spell
1t is the opinion among those who
have been watching the weather con-
ditions that the season will be more
favorable to crops from now on.
Good rains were reported last night
over portions of eastern and central
Kansas, and in each case is mentioned
the fact that the rain is not through
with yet. Emporia, Hiawatha, Clay
Center, Ellsworth. Salina, Atchison,
Sylvan Grove, Great Bend, Concordia,
Quenemo, Ottawa, Fredonia and Usage
City are among the places favored
with rains, which ranged from one
half to two inches.
Secretary Coburn, of the Kansas
board of agriculture, is enthusiastic
over the result of the rain. Mr.. Co.
burn has been optimistic as to the
ultimate outcome of the drought,
saying there was not the least cause
for alarm, as Kansas could well take
care of herself. He is sure that the
corn yield will reach at least half a
crop If the present very favorable
weather conditions continue.
The manner in which corn has held
its own during the drought was some
thing remarkable and is n source OF
wonder to the farmers. In some
places 1t has had no moisture for
over two months. II has made al
most no growth, but the leaves have
been kept green and the tassel kept
off. Weeds could not flourish In the
dry spell any more than the corn and
they were easily eradicated' The
fields are therefore clean and have
taken a new lease on life since the
rain. With large wheat crop and
the present fair prospects for corn
drought suffering in Kansas will be
reduced to q minimum.

WHY DICKINSON rHR1vss.
Mix Production / Factor in Her
Prosperity.


The ABILENE REFLECTOR Is the
authority for the statement that the
creameries OF Dickinson county paid
s42, 900 for milk in the month Of May.
Coming as it does a statement Of this
kind from the editors old stamping
ground makes US feel like shouting.
Dickinson is in the dairy business to
stay and will each year increase the
value and quantity Of her milk prod.
uct. 1t is one Of the counties in
which wheat crop does not affect
the milk receipts as in counties
where the dairy business is not so
thoroughly established. People in
Dickinson are growing less wheat
each year and more cows, calves and
pigs. She has found out that it pays
to do farming this way. And il the
creamery pays in Dickinson why will
it not pay in any other part Of Kan
sasp Two Of the largest companies
in the state operate here and each
operate in dozens Of other counties,
so it cannot be that a difference in
business management has anything
much to do with the proftableness Of
the business in Dickinson. Butter
fat is butter fat in any county Of Kan
sas, and when made into good cream
cry butter brings fancy price. 1t
costs less to make it In the western
counties where land is cheaper and
where pasture is more abundant than
In these eastern and central equities.
II it pays eastern Kansas to sell milk
to a creamery it will pay the western
farmer. IT. A. Borman in Dairy
Age.
