NOTICE TO FRUITGROWERS
All Diseased and Injected Orchards
Must Be Sprayed Within As
Days From Date.

Notice to the people of Polk county,
who are the owners Of fruit trees, that
now is the time to prune and spray all
trees diseased or infested with San
Jose scale, woolly or green aphis and
other pests. That these trees must be
pruned and we'll sprayed with lime
sulphur spray. Prof. Cordley says
that this is the best winter spray to
use, as it kills the moss, scale and other
pests. 1t is necessary to spray young
trees to protect them from the old moss
covered. diseased and infested trees.
The old orchards must be pruned and
we'll sprayed or destroyed. All cut
tings must be burned within 80 days
from time of pruning. In case OF
failure you are liable to fine OF. $25
with costs. This applies to all rail
road rights -of-way in Polk county.
I recommend the Lime Sulphur
LIQUID spray, because you will get
better results. It is easily prepared.
Use one gallon of spray to "A or IL
gallons of water; no sediment to clog
the spraying nozzle. 1t can be OBJ
tained at any of the stores in the
county. This pruniRg and spraying
must be done within As days from
date J. B. NUM-,

A SURPRISE
WEDDING.
Mr.. Archie Cant and Miss
Maude Baker Married in
Nashville Yesterday.
cUPID's SILENT WORK.
Sweethearts For Some Time
Without knowledge of
Their Friends.
I'd is the unexpeeted that aIway.

ct is the unexpected that always
happens"
Everybody supposed that the
heart Of Archie Cant, one of the
best known young bachelors in
the city, was invulnerable to Cupid's
darts, and the news yesterday morn
ing that he had taken an early train
for Nashville, where he would be
married, to Miss Maude Baker,
caused as much surprise as would
a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Reports were to the effect that
Miss Baker, late book-keeper for
Cook & Higgins, the druggists, had
preceded Mr.. Cant to Nashville on
the 5:1o train Tuesday evening.
Silently as Cupid had been getting
in its work, Mr.. Gant's closest
friends were not hoodwinked, and
now that Archie has become a
benedict, these friends are giving
out many little stories of Mr.. Cant
spending most of his idle hours
about the store where his inamorata
had Been employed for nearly two
years.
The young lady who has won the
heart Of the only son of Mr.. Henry
c. Cant, President of the Bank Of
Hopkinsville, is pretty beyond the
average, intelligent and of a sweet
disposition that wins the admiration
of every new acquaintance.
Mr.. Cant has been one of the
book-keepers in the bank of which
his father is president since early
boyhood, in fact he has grown up in
the bank and has never gone into
society. caring more for the sport
of hunting and fishing and the COM
partnership of close friends than for
the pleasures to be derived from
mingling in society circles. Every
body will wish Archie and his bonnie
bride a full realization of their
fondest dreams.

REWARDS RAID.
Red Fox Kills Many Young
Chickens.

A fox raided the hennery of Mr..
M. D. Meacham, just west of the
city. a few nights ago, and killed
about thirty spring chickens. Mr..
Meacham had been missing his young
chickens for some time and he was
at loss to know what had become
of them. Hearing a noise in his hen
house, he arose just in time to see a
large red fox trot away. On going
to the enclosure he found that Reyn-
ard had made aneavy haul this time.

PATROL WAGON HORSE.
Transferred From The Fire
Department Tuesday.

Councilmen Jackson and Ware
this week purchased from John Gray
a fine black horse for the redepart-
ment. He was bargained for some
time ago, but the delivery was de-
layed until he could recover from a
slight injury he sustained in ship
ping. He will be worked with the
white horse purchased about two
months ago. They make a strikingly
handsome team. The big bay horse
named Tom has been transferred to
the police department and will be
worked to the patrol wagon or used
for mounted police service, as may
be required.

FINE WEATHER
FOR CARNIVAL.
Attractions Drawing Large
Crowds Both Day and
Night.
SOME GOOD FREE SHOWS
Everything Moving Along
Smoothly and a Great
Time For All.

The Carnival is now at its height
and the weather has been everything
that could be desired for such an oc.
casion. About / 500 or 1000 people
were out Tuesday night and it
was expected that the crowd would
bemore than doubled last night. The
many free attractions are among the
best ever seen on a carnival ground
here, while the tented exhibitions
are Of a character that are bound to
please the public. The moving pic
lures are pronounced among the
best, while the troupe of Japanese
acrobats do stunts that seem utterly
beyond human accomplishment. The
electric fountain is one Of the most
popular attractions on the grounds.
Edison's views Of the destruction of
San Francisco is to be shown tonight
for the first time. Bard, in his dar-
ing act of leaping the gap, is one of
the free attractions that claims more
than its share of spectators twice
each day. Taken altogether, every
thing is going on at Mercer Park"
in way that bids fair to be pros
porous week for Mr.. Robinson and
the fremen and Pythians.
1t would be useless to attempt to
telhwhat you will see by going out
to the grounds-you must go and
I. see for yourself. If you are morose
or have some trouble on your mind
go out tonight and see the young
people enjoy themselves. You will
catch the infection and forget every
trouble for the time. What if some
mischievous girl does fill your gaping
mouth with confetti? When you
get through laughing you will feel
like another person. And then there
is the cry of the speiler, the
music(?) of the fiying-jenny, the
music of the bands, the play of the
fountain (if you go inside the enclos-
ure), the busting moving crowd,
and hundreds of other things that
make you throw care to the winds,
and you live and breathe like other
people. You owe it to yourself to
go-and eat peanuts and popcorn if
you want to get all the good out of
the day.
The management is composed of
gentlemen and they allow nothing
but the best of treatment to their
patrons, while the members of the
Uniform Rank K. P.'s and the fire
department are to be seen every
where, keeping a strict watch on |
everything going on. It's nice
place to go, and no one need fear
he will see or hear anything not |
altogether proper.
"The Electric Fountain"
While all of the shows on the
ground are first-class, clean and
worthy of patronage, there is one
which deserves special mention, as
it is thought by many to be the
best the Company offers. This is
the Electric Fountain" which is
located just to the left of the gate
as you enter the park. The sight |
presented is beautiful in the extreme
and at the wind up of each per-
Torrance when the water is being
forced to a height of probably 40
feet in the air and the sky-rockets
begin to fire, one is very apt to
agree with the Governor" Col. |
Sam F. Joseph, the advertising
agent for the Company, when he
'ays cit is a dollar show for fifteen
.ents.

A Strong Arraignment.

When a candidate for the House of
Representatives comes to you asking
your support and states that he is an
advocate of the State dispensary system,
get him to explain to you his reason for
supporting political machine that is
honeycombed with corruption; that has
contaminated nearly every man who has
been connected with its management; !;
that has dragged the name of South Caro-
lima in the gutter and besmirched her
honor; that has increased, instead of de-
creased, the amount of liquor drunk; that
has not reduced the taxes of the poor man
as is claimed; that has flooded our State
with rotgut liquor; that has taken thou
sands of dollars from the different coun.
ties in the State for the school fund, re.
turning only small per cent. thereof;
that has been patched and doctored since
its inception, and is now in worse state
than its first. Ask him how, in heavens
name! he expects you, an intelligent
voter, to support him, when he is advo-
eating a system that is degrading the
morals of our State and is legalizing the
right to steal !-Barnwell Sentinel

A Good Man Gone.

Murty Carrigg died Saturday, August
18th, 1906, aged 50 years. He was native
of Ireland, but came to this country in his
young manhood and married Miss N. j.
Adams, of this county, and made Ameri-
ca his home. He was brave soldier in
the war between the States, faithful in
service, a true friend to the Southern
cause and good citizen.
Honest in his dealings with his fellow
man, a strict Chtholic, but was always
pleased to see his children unite them
selves with either the Methodist or Bap-
tist church. He was well known in this
county. He leaves two SONS and three
daughters and 81 grandchildren to mourn
his loss, besides a host of friends. A
loving husband, a kind father, and true
friend has gone to his reward.

Equalization q Farce.

What's in a name-for instance the
State board of equalization? How can
there be any reason or equality in requir-
ing corporations with visible assets to
pay taxes on sixty per cent of their total
valuation, while other classes Of taxable
property only pay on not over half this
valuation? Granting that they pay on
forty per cent valuation as is claimed by
the State board, why should there be any
disparity at all? No class should receive
any special favors at the hands of the
board, but all classes of property should
be required to bear its legitimate share of
the burdens of taxation and the present
system of tax lodging should be brought
to it's timely end by the next legislature
in the adoption of a sensible and more
equitable method of assessing property
for taxation. Unless the assembled ingen.
uity of the next legislature can devise
some means by which the constitutional
method of making returns at actual value
can be made effective, the name of the
present board should be changed to the
State hoard of Observation-Disclosures In

Ehrhardt Etchinss,

EHRHARDT, August 13.-Mr' VIM. r
HERS, of Ehrhardt, could have marketed
bale of new cotton the first Of las,
week, but says he had to gather his fod-
der and would not bother to pick the cot
ton until he got through stripping his
fodder. Says he has more than a bale
open in his fields now. He has as good
crop of cotton as there is in this section.
and the beauty is, it is his, only used
about 800 worth of fertilizer commercial,
on his three or four horse farm. Has old
cotton on hand yet and owes nothing on
the growing crop. If all our farmers
were like him. then We could say to the
factory men what will you give US for
our cotton, and if their offer did not suit,
could tell them you can't get it. This,
however, is not the case. The height of
our cotton is spent before it is made and
papers given over same for supplies, so
when gathered must 60 on the market
and get what they can for it.
