EXPERIENCE WITH sQUAsHEs.

EAIEklENCE WITH SQUASHES.
Previous TO this season the writer
had not tried 10 raise Hubbard
squashes since he was a boy; then ne
was more initiative than now and con-
sidered it essential 10 follow out in
every detail the practices of an old un-
,le who raised these excellent squashes.
The Hubbard, we had learned 10 as
sumo, was quite refined and selective
in its habits of appropriating and as
similating the matter for its growth:
so there were lots OF labor involved
In spading out those deep hills and in
enriching the soil with black dirt and
manure. Then the squash bugs and
the borers were likely TO cut down the
thriftier vines in all their splendor
md promise. This led the young mind
to the conclusion that the raising or
Hubbard squashes was not only Il
grave undertaking, but rather treach-
erous business as well. But taste Of
stewed squash is a taste that returns;
so last spring five cent packet OF
seed was bought and planted about
June 10 in vacant corn hills. The vines
made n good start, but as the plant
ing was late and rs the corn ground
was to be seeded 10 wheat, we took
up several vines and transplanted in
potato patch that had been top
dressed with horse manure. This
seemed to prove the ideal habitat, for
the transplanted vines grew right
ahead OF those in the corn. Over the
strawy manure they ran, right down
the potato rows, taking root at every
joint. By August the fruits were set
ting; this was rather late, so we
pinched the tips from the vines and
left but single squash on each. Last
week October ~ we wheeled in our
crop. The squashes from the corn
field were nearly q failure, weighing
from one to -four pounds each-the
smallness undoubtedly Cue TO dry
weather. 10 hard ground and to hav-
ing been vigorously sighted by fine
growth OF corn those from the potato
patch weighed from four 10 twenty
pounds. There is theory advanced
that IL cucumbers and squashes he
grown among certain other vegeta-
bles, viz. beans beets. etc. they will
not be injured by bugs We simply
hoped that the corn would hide the
vines. Whatever may have been the
cause. not one of our vines was injured
by n bug nor 10y borer; n neighbor's
squash patch nearby was half ruined
by these pests. II you do not know
how TO fight bugs and borers, or If you
don't like 10. try this simple theory on
a small scale. As 10 other methods.
remember that n squash is n squash.

been extorted from him by the violent
means Indicated; that when you left

If he thought you had really been
robbed of the diamond. He knew
nothing OF the leather case, which
Brace might well have concealed In
the manner you describe without his
perception. After this explanation,
he said that he must once more relin-
quish our friendship until all doubt IL
cleared up. But he added, emphatl-
cally. as he was about TO leave us, If
only part OF this story Is true-if the
girl got possession Of the diamond, hid

The Supposed Cause.
As stated above the origin of today's
trouble occurred last September. Mr..
Cecil was witness 10 the case of Web
ster VS.. The Cumberland Telephone
Co, on trial in the Circuit Court before
Judge Holding.
After the evidence had been taken and
argument had begun, Mr.. Cecil arose
from his place 10 the audience and inter-
rupted the proceedings ny challenging a
statement made by Mr.. r I'll. Hatcher,
who was arguing the case.
Judge Holding assessed fine of $40
for the offenso, and though Mr.. Cecil
made the statement that he would not
ray the amount, he afterwards did pay
it.
Since that time Mr.. Cecil has met
Judge Holding on the streets several
trouble was anticipated.
HIS action Monday has been generally
condemned and has aroused widespread
comment.
Out of great deal of excited talk and
rumors. the more probabie solution 10
that the Columbia bar will take charge
of the matter and present the case to the
grand jury, and in case an indictment
is found under the laws protecting the
judiciary, special judge will be chosen
to try the case and special prosecuting
attorneys will be appointed.

Columbia was aroused to state OF
great excitement and indigna ton Mon
day morning by an unwarranted assault
made on Judge Sam Holding by Mr..
Lloyd Cecil.
The affair occurred just before noon
in front of Alcorn's drug store, while
the streets were IN their most crowded
condition, and was witnessed by all the
passers by. who are unanimous in their
statement that Judge Holding was at
tackled without the slightest warn
ing or provocahon.
He had just left the court room and
was on his way rome, with bundles
under both arms and in one hald and
was wearing heavy overcoat. AS he
neared the doorway of Alcorn's drug
store he saw Mr.. Cecil standing few
feet beyond, but paid no especial atten-
ticn to him as he had passed him num-
bers of times since last September,
at which the ruling which led up to the
difficulty was made.
Without one word OF warning Mr.
Cecil, a man of strong physique in spite
of his advanced years, rushed upon the
Judge and struck him in the left temple,
inficting slight wcund. Mr.. Cecil got
in another blow, glancing one, under
the left eye, before Judge Holding was
able to defend himself, SO sudden
and unexpected was the attack.
Finally, however, Judge Holding got
10 one blow with glass cup he had in
his hand, but inflicted little injury
Bystanders then rushed in and pre-
vented further trouble. Mr.. Cecil was
