news galh.r"r r"r Van Wyck has
been very ausy wrestling with
farm work and other business,
and has neglected Van Wyck
news items for long while.
But we have a vacation now from
the farm and other things and
will use some of our spare mo-
ments in giving your readers an
account of the happenings around
Van Wyck.
Our farmers are about through
with the cultivation of their crops,
and are enjoying much needed
rest from their summers toll be-
fore they are called upon to gath
er in the golden harvest. A spir-
it of good will and contsntment
seems to prevail.
Politics have not disturbed our
tranquility. Farmers are wear
ing smiles and feel happy over
the prospects for an abundant har-
vest, although the outlook is not
the best. Cotton promises about
two third crop and if we do not
get rain soon our calculations will
DO placed on half crop as the
weed is small and shedding its
fruit profusely. Corn is about
an average crop. rhe early
planting is about made and the
late planting growing nicely, but
needing rain, and it's yield de-
psnds upon everything being fa-
vorable for 1t the balance of the
season. Much of this late crop
was planted the early part of
July.
Candidates had been rather
scarce in this part of the county
but as the county canvass is on
we have them in full force this
week. They are a nice, clever

friends. but the farmers do not know

THE ONLY SURVIVOR.
H"oui sartout's Experience in His
Cell in st. Pierre.


From the New York World
Fort de France. May 19.-There was
one man who was not in the streets
of st. Pierre that morning. He was
Raoul Sartout, a coarse, jet-black ma
tive, who had been arrested for some
trivial offense the week before. Sar-
tout, who is now in a hospital at Fort
de France. had become obstreperous
in his prison and was transferred TO
the dungeon below the level of the
sidewalk
He heard the faint echo of the rum
bling of Pelee. He felt the tremor of
the earth, as he had felt it MANY
times before. and at first was not
AFRAID. But he quickly realized that
something extraordinary was going on.
He was panic-stricken with fear and
beat his hands against the walls. he
said. He succeeded in getting omen
door leading into a cell somewhat
larger than his, over which there was
an iron grating looking up through
the sidewalk.
He stumbled into this apartment to
find it half filled with a sitting mass
of hot ashes and dust. 1t burned him
severely and he was not slow to re-
treat to the inner cell from which he
had just escaped. Then came the aw-
full silence that seemed to paralyze
him with fear more than the first roar
that had awakened the keenest sense
of danger. He has since said that
he lay on the floor of his dark cell for
hours, scarcely daring to breathe, OPP
pressed by the terrifying silence. He
doesn't know how many hours he lay
there.
Finally he summoned up courage
enough to open the cell door and look
into the other apartment. He was met
by a wave of dust that choked his
mouth and nostrils and half blinded
him. 1t had cooled, and he ventured
to wade through the soft fiaky-like
mass toward the iron grating, through
which descended a constant rain of
soft and almost invisible dust.
He hallooed aloud again and again
and at every echo his voice seemed to
increase the shower through the graf
ing. He went to the door shutting off
his escape TO the stairs leading to the
floor above and pounded at ii until his
fists were bruised and torn He strug-
gled through the mass of ashes to the
grating again to shrek and cry out
for help.
Hunger and thirst overcame him and
he crept back into his dungeon to Sleep
but he could not. He says he didn't
close his eyes from the moment he
heard the terrifying roar of the volca-
no until Monday morning four DAYS
later when his shrieks were heard by
the first party Of searchers to invade
the stricken city. His cries were fee
BILE by this time and he had almost de-
SPARED of liberation.
Finally a marine from the French
cruiser Suchet heard Sartout's wall and
a he
vivor The bars OF the grating had
20 be pried open and Sartout was
dragged out more dead than alive. He
was found 70 be not only on the verge
Of death from starvation and thirst
but suffering from terrible burns about
his legs ard the lower part Of his
body.

GEORGIA AND FLORIDA

James A. Parks. a salesman for an
Atlanta house. who resides with his
wife at 419 Piedmont avenue. met with
q mysterious and violent death Tues
day morning on the banks of Goodwin
creek, about six miles from Newman
Mr. Parks was found dead by his
nephew with an ugly gunshot wound
Just below the heart, while at his side
lay his shotgun. The wound must have
produced instant death When the body
was discovered by its side lay forked
stick covered with splotches of blood,
which was evidently instrumental in
the fatal discharge of the weapon The
coroner's jury, which later inquired into
the death of Mr.. Parks, rendered
verdict that the shot had been fired by
his own hand, but whether intentional
or accidental, they were unable to say.
Mr. Parks held a policy in the Royal
Arcanum for SO 900, and it has been
currently reported that he held insur-
ance in other companies to the amount
OF 0.0O0.
