AT kENT'S HILL.
Erroneous Statements Concerning Ball
Team-Coach Due Next Week.

Kent's Hill, Me-, April 17.-(SpeciaD.
1t should be said in justice to our ball
team that the item that has appeared
in several papers is erroneous. The
item referred to stated that Hale
brothers, formerly the Great Northern
battery at Millinocket, was Kent's
Hills battery. In the first place there
are no students here by the name of
Hale. There are two students by the
name of Head. Gf they are the ones
referred too who are showing up well
in practice and bid fair to make the
team, but as for their having been the
battery on the Great Northern or any
other professional team, is entirely err
ronous. This should be said in justice
to the school and to the nom profession
alism of it's athletics.
Coach O'Connell of Bowdoin will ar
rive, the first of the week, to work on
the ball team. The team will play
Leavitt Institute, tomorrow, on the
home grounds. A good game is ex-
pected.
Harry w. Plummer, the Lewiston
photographer, has been at his studio on
the Hill, for the past few days. and has
been doing rushing business. The SEN
Tors have decided to have their pictures
taken at his Lewiston studio and will
make the trip. May s.

improving, however.

Very Ugly Affair
In Aiken County
Young White Man Engages iu
Negro Gambling Game--Ne
gro Dead; Another W Wound-
ed.
Special to. The State.

0peclai 70. lhe State.
Aiken, Nov. 22.-Last night
about Iii O'Clock a negro was shot
and killed and another was shot
through the shoulder, in a negro
gambling den, in Coon alley in
Graniteville. The negro killed
was lobe Redd, living at Granite
vile, and the negro wounded is
Qultman johnson OF Aiken. The
details of the affair are somewhat
mysterious. 1t seems that about
20 negroes were at the house of a
negro named NeeI, which has long
been considered a gambling dive
by the people of the neighbor-
hood.
A young white man of Aiken,
John Seiglor, came to the house
during the night with a negro
named John Lundy. 1t is said
that some time afterwards a row
was started between Seigler and
some of the negroes and Seigler
left the house. Shortly after the
crowd in the house was fred up-
on and about 10 shots were fred
through the window. This morn
ing the negro Redd was found
dead near the house, and the me-
gro johnson was found at his
home at Aiken with a pistol ball
In his shoulder. Dr.. Turnbull of
Aiken attended the wounded man
here and extracted from his shoul
der 80 calibre pistol ball, which
johnson says was fred into him
by Seigler. 1t is charged that
both Seigler and his man, Lundy,
did the shooting, The story told
by johnson substantially corro-
borates this theory.
Shortly after the shooting oc
curred Seigler came to Aikon on
the Augusta Aiken trolley, and
took his horse and buggy from q
stable here, where he had left il
IN the afternoon, and drove out
Of town.
Seigler is a son of one of Aiken
county's most prominent far
mers, He lives on his fathers
placsnear Aiken. He is young
married man, usually quiet, but
has been a great drinker, which
has caused him to be connected
with several unfortunate esca-
pades

Mar'et Fluctuations
Rise In Prico Of Fertilizer and
Fall liz Seed.
Greenvllle News.

One of the latest problems for
solution by the farmers is the
fertilizer question. Cotton fer
tihzer has gone up S3 on the ton
while the price for the acids have
advanced 50. Cotton seed meal
Is selling for s24 a ton, having
gone up 81 during the past few
days and it may go higher,
In view of the amount of ferti
lizer used, the advance in the
priceImeans an expenditure of
many dollars by the farmers in
addition to the vast amount which
goes for fertilizers when it is sell
ing at anything like u reasonable
price.
With the advance in the price
of fertilizer comes q decline in
the price of cotton seed, which is
now bringing Sl2 per ton, and
from present Indications will 90
even lower. 1t is advisable for
farmers to hold their seed. Many
farmers throughout the county
have already sold their seed and
by doing so have realized only
about Lalf their value.
A prominent farmer of this
county who ,keeps up with the
various questions that interest
planters said yesterday that after
looking over the statistics Of the
amount of cotton raised per acre
found that in 1879 more cotton
was made in proportion to the
acreage planted than any year
since then. That was before oil
uiliio uOtlCu tuS luuu Ulu Was
when the cotton seed was always
returned to the soil which shows
that the seed if used for fertilizer
is of a much greater value than it
can be sold for.
If the decline in the price paid
for seed by the oil mills will serve
to make farmers use the seed for
fertilizer and not dispose of them
at unreaSonably low prices it will
do much towards building up the
land of the country to u higher
state of cultivation.
1t is said that there is plenty of
seed In the country yet but at the
prices paid the farmers are not
disposed to sell. Along about
Christmas it is believed the oil
mills intend to buy in seed which
is held back now, as the majority
of the farmers will sacrifice al
most any crop for little Christ
mas cash.

exploded betwee: nthe1. Island where the
boat was found and kaSggera Bay yester-

NAY GO UP DIRECT
Attorney General Not Decided
Where to File Appeal in
Merger Case.
May Come Under Class of Cases
Which Go Straight to
Supreme Court.

. Attorney General Douglas returned from
his vacation this morning, and will con-
fer tomorrow with his associates in the
merger case, General George P. Wilson
and M. D. Mum.
The principal subject OF the conference
will be where to file the states appeal.
Mr. Douglas said to-day:
1.-THE state will appeal the case; that is
all I can say, I have not decided yet
when the appeal will be filed. 1t is a
question which I will discuss with my
associates"
The rule is that appeals from the cir
cult court involving the federal constitu-
ton shall be carried direct to the supreme
court. If they involve a construction Of
acts of congress, then they must go to
the circuit court Of appeals. Many cases
present perplexing problem, as coun-
sci have to decide where the appeal goes,
and in some cases the appeal has been
filed in both places, but the courts have
frowned on such a practice. 1t has been
first to the circuit court Of appeals but
it is still an open question in the mind
Of the attorney general.
Mr.. Douglas was absent over three
weeks, the only long vacation he has TAX
en- since he took office in 1899. He spent
several days in the mountains about Banff,
and the rest of the time visiting the cities
of the west coast. He called on Governor
Mcbride and Attorney General Stratton
who are also engaged In prosecuting a
case against the Northern Securities
company.
