FOUGHT ON A BRIDGE
TOBACCO DRUMMER AND KEEP
 FRS HAVE BATTLE.
Trouble Over Nickel Caused Pistol Duel, in Which Blood Was shed-Traveling Man and
 Companions Arrested.


 Florence, April Special )--As T. c. Smothern1an, tobacco drummer, J. G.. Wilson and Cole Holland, of this place, were returning Sunday night from Shef- field at 7:30 o'clock, they got into dif- ficulty with the keepers of the Southern bridge. VI
 The first trouble commenced Saturday night, in a dispute over five cents bridge fare. The men refused to pay the full amount and when Tom Mitchum.. the night watchman, insisted, Smotherman hit him on the side of the head with a bottle of whiskey, breaking the bottle and cutting Mitchum badly.
 Sunday as the men were again return ing from Sheffield, according to the statement of George Brabson, the day keeper, he had just collected the toll when a pistol was discharged at him at such close range that his face was powder burned. At this several bridge men who were near opened fire on the occupants of the buggy and a regular pitched battle took place, about fifteen shots being fired in all. One load of buckshot took effect in one of the horses and they ran away, spill ing the men down the steep embark ment and proceeding on to town. A searching party was quickly organ ized and the men gathered up and brought in to the doctor. Smotherman hid and was not found until near r,id-

WORLDS FAIR FACTORIES.
Model Plants Making Gold and Fountain Pens, Paper Boxes
 and Paper Bags.
Sd. Louis dispatch.

St. Louis dispatch.
 One of the most interesting groups of exhibits at the Louisiana Purchase Ex- position will be that of stationery lo- cated in the Palace of Manufactures. Stationery displays at all previous expo srtioh have simply been composed of pa- per. pens, pencils, inks. note books, and all the manifold articles of a stationery store, piled on shelves and exhibited in show cases. There was nothing espe- cla1ly attractive, aside From the exquis- ite workmanship of the articles on exhi- bitIon.
 But the stationery exhibits at the Worlds Fair of 1904 will be one of life and activity. There will be one model factory in full operation turning out gold pens, and the visitor can see the entire process of manufacture from the time the molten gold leaves the crucible and is stretched into long, tiny ribbons of the precious metal and passes through wonderful machines to the point when the finished pen is ready for use. An other model plant in full operation will manufacture fountain and stylographic pens ot the latest improved varieties.
 There will be two paper box factories In operation-one for paper boxes with metal edges, and the other for straight paper boxes.
 
 will be in operation.
 These model factories will be found in the Palace of Manufactures, and they will carry out to the full the central idea of the entire exposition-life and mo- ton. An educational value is found in these exhibits, never duplicated at other expeditions, for here the finished prod ucts and the processes of manufacture are seen together. There will be large displays of gold, steel, fountain and stylographic pens.
 The lead pencils of the worlds man. ufactures will be displayed only as fin- ished products.
 In the Palace of Varied Industries will be shown a factory turning out paper bags for grocers to use in delivering su- gar, coffee and even milk.
 The finest artists of Japan, Mexico and France, the countries noted for pyrog- raphy, will show their skill and genius In burnt leather work in the Varied In- dustries Palace.
 Tn the stationery sections of the Va ried Industries and the Manufactures Palaces will be seen beautiful displays of memorandum books, note books letter. copying books, book cases letter files menu cards, playing cards, packages of cigarette papers, desk furnishings. inks penholders, crayon holders, wax and waters, paper weights. ink stands, letter presses, and also paints. canvasses, easels and all the numerous artists ma- terials for painting, architecture, sculp- ture, typography and drawing.

PABST IN GOOD SHAPE.
FIRST EASTMAN IS READY FOR
 HARD WORK.
He Has About Overcome His Illness and Gives Promise of Giving Star Support to the
 Pretzels.

IF Manager Stickney never played wist in his life before he has most assurcdly cone so in securing Ed Pabst as first baseman and field captain of the Pretzels this season.
 Pabst will prove tower of strength to the local team this summer. Besides ue- tng ball player of National reputation he is well balanced and, knowing the Fundamental principles of scientific base ball from A to 2, Is the right man in the right place to shape up crowd of fast youngsters like the Pretzel infield.
 He is a great favorite in Montgomery, hs wing played a brilliant first base with one of the fastest minor league teams ever unccvered-Dick Germans Mont gomery team of 1896. In 1902 he was with Atlanta when Ed Peter had that team il the Southern League, but some dis agreement arising between Peter PaDst and Heine Krug the two latter went to the Coast. Last summer Pabst was with San Francisco in the Pacific Coast League and his record out there was brilliant one, new laurels being added to his already long string. In fielding his record was only one point behind that of Dillon, the first baseman of the cham pion Los Angeles team and the man over whom there was almost split in the peace associations. Morley of the, Los Angeles team claimed that he had a prior right to Dillon for 1904, but Dillon had already been awarded to Hanlon of the Brooklyn National team. Last sea- son Pabst played 1s1 games and Dillon 19o. nine games difference. Pabst had I.e4s putouts, 1o1 assists and 36 errors. or s6 errors out of 2,o49 chances. Dillon had 1881 putouts, 120 assists and 33 errors, or B errors out of 2,049 chances-32 more chances than Pabst and three less errors. In batting Pabst had the following aver age: 1a games played, 6n times at bat, So runs. ITO hits, N stolen bases and an average of ..25S.
 These records speak eloquentiy of what as in store for local fans this summer, and if the Pretzels are not one of the fastest teams in the Southern League this summer. there will be something rad ically wrong.
 To make his performance last summer all the more wonderful Pabst played a good part of the. latter part of the sea- son wretchedly out of condition. playing with lone arm and one leg as he ex- presses it. He contracted a severe cold which developed into bronchial trouble, and after spending some weeks in hos Dital his physician sent him to Los An geles. The bracing climate out there has almost built him up and the splendid climate of the South this summer will. it is hoped, complete the cure, The long railroad trip from Los Angeles to Mont gcmery seems to have helped instead of hurt him and with light exercise and wholesome living he will be right and fit for a hard seasons work long before the Southern League season opens.
 At any rate the Montgomery fans are heartily glad to see Pabst again and are giving him a warm welcome.

 The three strong points brought out in his sermon, and upon which he dwclt were:
 First what is 1t to be almost persuaded to be a Christian.
 Second. what is 1t to be altogether per- suaded to be a Christian.
 Third what doth hinder those who are almost persuaded from becoming alto gether persuaded to become a Christian. The services will begin tonight at 8 o'clock promptly and the public Is cor dially invited to attend.
