Cabbage Culture.

A prominent truck farmer Of the
South Carolina coast gives the follow
ing directions for the cultivation of
cabbage for market:
Lands should be plowed deep, bar
rowed and marked out in rows two
and a half feet apart. A necessary
precaution is to thoroughly ditch the
land SO that at no time water will
stand on it.
A liberal application of fetilizer is
necessary, say fifteen hu ,dred pounds
to the acre. This fertilizer should
consist of a high grade fertilizer, an
alyzing 8 per cent. ammonia, per
cent. phosphoric acid and 5 per cent.
potash. It is applied in the marks
laid off for the rows and scooter or
bulltongue plow run through it, so as
to thoroughly mix it with the soil.
Two furrows axe then thrown together
to make a medium sized bed. which
is then rolled, to firm the ground, and
plants set out on the rows eighteen to
twenty inches apart. AS soon as the
plants are started growing, the field is
narrowed with an iron age harrow and
dressing of five hundred pounds of fer
tilizer to the acre is applied in every
other row, followed with a subsoil or
some other plow which will thorough
ly break the beds until you can see
the cracks extending across the same.
In about ten days the other furrow is
treated in exactly the same way. After
that the land is kept open by constant
work using plow, harrow, cultivator
or some like tool that will not break
the soil deeper than two inches. Cul-
tivation should occur every week or
ten days until the cabbages are headed
or the foliage completely covers the
ground. Under ordinary conditions
crops worked in this way yield an
average of one hundred crates of cab
bages per acre.

A MINING TRAGEDY.
Fatal Fight in Coal Greek, Tenn,
Between Union Miners and
Mine Guard.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. IA bloody
tragedy was enacted today in the
little mining town of Coal Greek.
Tenn. forty miles northwest of Knox
vile, as the result of which four per-
sons were killed and three persons
we're wounded one perhaps fatally.
The clash was the elimination OF
trouble between union and non
union labor, and the excitement
which followed riva]led that when
nearly 200 lives were crushed out il
an explosion in the Fraterviile mine
on May 49,. 1902.
Three Of the dead men we're killed by
guards employed by the Coal Creek
Coal Company, while the fourth VIC
tim, deputy sheriff, was killed by z
guard, whom he attempted to arrest.
The dead are: Monroe Black, q
miner. aged "a ". ". Taylor, miner.
aged 81; Jacob Sharp, section hand.
by-stander, aged 35; Deputy Sheriff
Robert Harmon. killed by Cal Burton
guard at the Briceville mine.
The wounded are: A. r. Watts,
merchant at Coal Creek, an innocens
by-stander, shot through both cheeks;
Mote Cox. miner, shot through left
arm; JEFF Hoskins, engineer on the
Southern Railway, slightly wound

They refused to resume work in the
Fraterville and Thistle mines, and for
several months the two mines were
shut down. Guards have recently been
placed around the mines to protect
non-unlon miners, and today a detail
of II men, under command Of Jtdson
Reeder, a former police lieutenant il
this city, went to meet a few non
union men who were to arrive on the
morning train.
When the non-union men left she
train q crowd began yelling: ''Scab. :"
and the killing grew out of this taunt-
It is hard to tell what the provocation-
was. but the miners must have crowd
ed up and attempted to take away the
non-union men bodily or offered some
direct insult to the guards. Reeder
and Bolton at once drew their pistols
and began shooting. Miners and by
ISLANDERS we're taken by surprise, and
before they could realize what had
happened the guards had climed into
their wagon and driven back to the
mines. Later dispute arose between
Deputy Sheriff Bob Harmon and Guard
Cal Burton. Burton shot Harmon
twice, killing him instantly.
The three guards, Reeder, Bolton
and Purton, were placed under arrest
by Sheriff Moore, of Anderson county,
and taken overland to Clinton, the
county seat. Later, fo- safe taking,
they were brought to this city, where
they are being guarded tonight, none
of them having been put in jail.
The guards claim that they were
forced to shoot and bad sufficient pro-
vocation.
Sheriff Moore has asked for troops,
in view of resultant excitement, and
Governor Frazier has wired Lieut..
Col. Spence, of the I'd battalion of the
Sd regiment, Knoxville, to have his
men IN readiness to go to the scene.
All the guards are away from the
mines at Coal Creek tonight, leaving
the non union men and their families
unprotected in case an attack should
he made on them.

The San DOMINGO PROBLEM.
Raw is anarchy to be Put Down
in the Negro Republic.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Simultaneous-
N ss the State and navy departments
today the announcement was made
lent In San Domingo.
Complaint has been made to the
State department by owners Of the
San Isidro plantation that their prop
erty has beer besieged and an appeal
IS made for immediate relief. Othe,
Americans having interests in San
Domingo haye made similar COM
plants. A cablegram was sent today
Do Rear Admiral Wise, commanding
the training squadron now at Guam
sanamo, inssructing that officer to
take immediate and effective steps for
tie adequate protection Of American
life and property in the Dominican
Republic, limiting his course of ac-
tion at all times to the recognized
aenets of international law.
Upon the receipt of this dispatch
Rear admiral Wise is expected to pro-
seed at oncein his flag ship, the Min
seapolis, to Dominican waters and
sEake personal investigation. The
Eolumbia already has been ordered to
return to Sam Domingo from Guam
EaNamo, where she went for coal, and
The Hartford will be ordered back
from the same place.
It IS apparent that the long pending
dominican problem is reaching a
ayssia that Wiz demand immediate at
tention.
The German Government has we'll
nigh reached the Limit of its patience
In dealing with San Domingo, and
Tao English and French Governments
show am equal inpatience with affairs
there. All these Governments have
hiaed their time in the hope that the
Washington Government would pnt an
sand to the unsatisfactory state of
aHairs there. If the United States
Had NOT acted, it can be stated, Euro
Pean nations would have called the
sikRation to its attention.
Mr.. Powell. the American minister
IS San Domingo, has cabled the State
department, under date Of February
confirming the press dispatches re-
Rarding the assassination Of j. G.
johnson, an engineer of the gunboat
Yankee. While no definite instruc.
lions have been cabled Minister Pow
ell, it is stated that the American
commanders will make every effort to
apprehend the parties responsible for
the assassination, and If captured
they sill be forthwith disposed OF as
bandits. The navy departme-s has
also received cablegram confirming

and there standing like sentinels over
the ruins. Huge piles of smouldering
bricks, net works of wires and here
and there telegraph poles burned and
smouldering are all that remain. The
fremen are dynamiting buildings and
walls in the burning area and the in
tonation of the explosions and shrill
whistles of engines add to the hides
cribable horror.
Every few minutes the fall Of walls
or parts of walls can be heard. Travel
through this district is fraught with
the greatest danger and even in the
outlying parts Of the district flames
can be seen eating their way through
ruins and tottering walls make in
gress and egress very dangerous.
It rs said+the fire is too miles from
where it started and eating its way
toward the water front. Jacob llgin-
fritz, of the Laurel Fire Co., of York,
Pa, vas killed about 5 O'Clock this
morning. He came to Baltimoe last
night with his company and was at
work on the fire. Ilginfritz was
caught under a wall on corner Of Fred
erick and Baltimore streets and was
dead when found.
Baltimore, Feb. 8.-When darkness
fell tonight the people of this stricken
city knew the worst was over. The
flames, which for more than twenty
eight hours had swept resistlessly
through the heart of one of the world 8
greatest marts of trade, were checked.
An army of fremen from many cities,
working until wearied, and aided by
a muddy little stream finally con-
quered fire that will rank among the
worlds conhagrations.
Worn by a night and day of terror,
the great crowds that watched the ruin
of their city, turned homeward and at
midnight the streets were deserted
save for the police and militia who
guarded the burned area. To the south
red glow rises and falls, marking
40 acres of devastation-75 squares OF
property that yesterday represented
values to the extent of from SIS, 600, 00O
to si25, OO0, 900. Not even close ap-
proximate can be made of the insur-
ance.
Men tonight talk in figures that are
appalling ano almost lncomprehenSlDle
because Of their vastnsss. An expert,
the city building inspector, estimates
the loss in buildings alone at $3.50. 600, :
600. On the other hand it is said that
insurance estimates do not place the
total loss at greater figure.
One factor that will figure largely
in the final estimates consists of the
securities in the banks and trust COM
panies whose homes we're destroyed.
Their vaults and safes tonight are in
ruins, covered with tons of debris.
Experts who have given them as close
examination as possible, express the be-
lief that the contents are safe.
Not single life has been lost, and
not a human being has been even
dangerously injured. The hospital lists
consist of minor burns with the excep-
tion of Jacob Inglefritz, a fireman
from York, Pa. He has fractured leg
and is badly burned.
