PRESIDENT HOLLAND SAYS
CHAPMAN WILL NOT GO
Head Officer of United Railroads
Sends a Communication to
The Call.

The announcement published In The
Call that George f. Chapman's regime
az general manager of the United Rail-
roads was to be of short duration was
eagerly discussed in railroad circles yes
terday. 1t is a repetition of the old story
of President Hays of the Southern Pa
cific and Manager Fillmore. All the Off
cials denied that they were to go, but they
went. Yesterday President Holland of
the United Railroads threw up his hands
when Chapmans retirement was men,
toned and could not say enough nice
things about him.
Last evening President Holland sent in
the following communication to The Call:
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. T. 1903.
To the Editors of The Call: An article in
this mornings Call states that 1t is said that
the president of the United Railroads has al
ready decided who will succeed Mr.. Chapman
as general manager of the company.
1t Is due 10 MIR Chapman to say that the
statement is without foundation and that the
idea of dispensing with the valuable services
OF Mr.. Chapman has never occurred TO the
management of this company. who have full
confidence in him and who take pleasure in
testifying to their appreciation Of the excel
lent work he has done, and in this it is be-
lieved that the public heartily join.
With the request that in justice to Mr..
Chapman this statement be made by your
journal in your next issue, l am. yours re-
spectfully, ARTHUR HOLLAND,
President of the United Railroads of San
Francisco.

julius Wright, colored, a brick ma
son and plasterer who was pretty we'll

night, of paralysis. He was son of

The Standard Oil crowd are said to
have obtained control of the Vir-

now be able to dictate prices on fer
tilizers as absolutely as they now do
on kerosene oil and other petroleum
products.
The two stores being erected on
Main street by Mrs. Ella Tuomey are
nearing completion and it can now be
seen that the building will be one of
the handsomest and most artistic busi-
ness houses in the city. 1t will be an
ornament to Main street.
The second dispensary issue seems
to have narrowed down to contest
between the dispensaryites and the
anti-dispensaryites among the busi
ness men of North Main street.
Other people have their convictions On
the question, but unless petition is
carried to them by interested persons,
they will take no active part in the
matter. ..-A

i S. G..
Dear Sir: We have received and con-
sidered the several petitions signed
by your citizens against the establish
ment of dispensary No. 2, in Sumter,
as well as the petition of the County
Board in favor of the same. In view
of the long contention as to the advis-
ability of authorizing the County
Board to open up another dispensary
under the provision of section 563 of
the dispenasry law, so that your own
people will be put in position to
settle the matter for themselves, that
is to say that if majority Of the
citizens of the township in which
Sumter is located are against the les-
tablishment of this dispensary they
can petition the County Board Of
Control not to do Sc, and in this way
end the matter. enclose you copy
of letter that have written Chair
man Sanders of your County Board
Of Control for your information.
Yours truly,
L. j. Williams,
Chairman.

Magnolia, Aug. lo.-If the cotton

tbree-foarths of the fruit it now has on
it the yield will exceed the expecta-
tions of the most sanguine. The
corn crop is about safe. Saturday,
Sunday and Monday are numbered
among the hottest days of this summer.
There is very little sickness in this
community at this writing, and no
serious cases. Our doctors don't look
so cheerful as they did several days
ago. Well, I guess they'll brighten
up later on. Chill and fever season is
approaching.
Old Mr. j. Frank Mcintosh, trying

came near lodging the old gentleman

by dismounting in such a manner as
was calculated to make less impress
sion on the ground He claims that
he alighted in style best suited to
his taste. Well, it's funny taste.
Mrs. M. Luther Mcintosh, after

sore-Head From Over Stimulation.

Editor Southern Cultivator: Some
weeks ago 1 wrote to you about my
chickens having sore-head. You kind
ly answered my inquiry by letter, for
which I thank you, but you were mis-
taken in saying sore head comes from
lice or mites. | have handled every
grown fowl in the yard and nearly
everyone of the chicks and can posi-
lively say they have neither mites or
any othel. kind of vermin on them. /
have lost quite a number Of chicks,
but only a few grown ones with it. I
have tried various remedies, sulphur
and vaseline, sulphur and lard, kero-
sene and vaseline mixed, washed their
heads in copperas water, 10 grains to
the ounce, then creased them with the
sulphur and lard. I think this gave
better results than anything else. But
it has not cured them all, and the dis
ease is spreading with the chicks
though they have been kept in separate
coop and yard, and have been kept in
covered coops under shed at night,
but allowed to run out during the day.
Now what I want to know is the
cause or the disease ana ehe most
effective way to stamp it out.
I fed Pratt's poultry food from one
to three times a week to the chickens,
all winter giving them the dough of
corn meal with The food, mixed with
hot water. I have had an abundance
of eggs all winter, and the chickens
are fat, are still laying and have good
appetites. They have large range
with plenty Of green food and fresh
water, and have goo -louse to roost
in. They are nearly all white, but a
few dark feathered ones among them
have sore heads as badly as the white
ones. Probably some of your readers
have had like trouble and can give
me remedy, and the cause of the
trouble. I am very anxious to know
what to do. Respectfully,
Mrs. G. 2. ".
