the land, Robnett would have been in
a position to put the woman behind
the bars for perjury and thereby make
his threats good.

CANTELOUPES.
ARMOUR & CO., HAS CLOSED CON-
TRACTS FOR $3.50 ACRES.

Mr.. Frank E. Wolcott, representing
the Armour Fruit Refrigerator Car
system, was in Columbia Thursday
and was seen by a Herald man, and
in the interview stated that his bus
mess here was to close contracts with
farmers and planters along the L. &
~, from Columbia to Athens, Ala,
and from Columbia to Lawrenceburg
to handle their cantaloupe and straw
berry crop this season. Mr.. Wolcott
stated that he succeeded in closing
contracts for 1900 acres of canta-
loupes on the L. & N, and for 2,150
acres on the ~, F. & s., road. The
largest planting will be done in and
around Lawrenceburg, as the farmers
will put in 1000 acres of cantaloupes
alone
When questioned in regard to the
profit in this crop. Mr.. Wolcott stated
that with a favorable season and good
cultivation one acre will net the plan
ter $3.50. These melons will be shipped
to New York and other Eastern mar
kets, and will be handled the same way
the North Georgia peach crop is
handled.
With that amount of land under cul-
tivation and with a good season ac-
cording to the statement of Mr.. Will
colt, the cantaloupe crop alone will
net the farmers of this section 1902,
10000.
Mr. Wolcott expressed his regrets
at not being able to ice his cars here
in Columbia, stating that some days
he would be compelled to use as much
as four hundred tons of ice, and as
the present plant in Columbia was too
far away from the railroad and as
they did not have a large enough plant
to meet the demands he would be COM
PEELED to have his cars iced in Nash.

SOUTH SIDE PARK
TRAINERS PREPARING FOR THE
COMING SEASON, AND THINGS
WILL BE LIVELlER THAN
EVER.
THE GREAT WALTER
DIRECT COMING.

To the observant horseman who
visits South Side Park, it can easily
be seen that the old time interest in
live stock is being revived to a mark
ed degree.
With the advent of spring there will
be six or eight prominent trainers
CHARTERED at this popular course,
which. as a matter of course, Will
stimulate our breeding interests.
There is no reason why South Side
Park should not be made popular with
horsemen from the North as training
quarters for the winter and spring
months. Before this is done, however,
some changes will have to be made in
the way of additional and better sta
bles. Mr.. Geo. F. Dyer, of Roanoak,
Va, has arrived with four head and
will doubtless add to his stable later
on. Mr.. Dyer developed and raced the

$3.50 REWARD FOR MUIR
DERERS OF MRS. MAKGRUM.

Gov. Cox on Friday offered reward
of $3.50 for the arrest and conviction
OF the party or parties who murdered
Mrs. Rosa Mangrum, of Nashville.
The Governor stated that he would
have been glad to have offered double
this reward, but the fund set aside for
this purpose had been reduced from
$4,000 to $1,000, and there were al
ready number of rewards for the ar
rest and conviction of murderers out
standing, therefore he did not feel
justified in offering a larger amount.

PASSING OF

OLDEST PRISON IN THE WESTERN
WORLD WILL BE ABANDONED.

Special to the Herald.
NEW YORK, Feb 9.-The abandon
ment of the state prison at Sing Sing
which has been under discussion for
years, now appears a certainty in view
of the recommendation in the report
just made to the Governor by the
state prison improvement commission.
The prison, which has been in exis-
tence for nearly a century, is by far
the best known in the western world.
Within its walls many men have suf-
fered for their crimes Many murder

house, a separate group of tiny steel
cells, has held men who made des-
perate legal fights for life. Some Of
them were successful, among them
Roland b. Molineux. It's best-known
inmate at present is Albert T. Patrick,
who is making the same fight for life
that Molineux made and many believe
that it's results will be equally success
full. Today there are nearly 1900 in
mates in the big prison. Among them
are financiers, corrupt politicians, dis
honest lawyers, murderers, and
thieves big and little.
