The Old Red GullieS How
to Restore Them to Life
and Beauty,
The Progressive Farmer.

ne IrOSreSSlEe L dTWer.
Recently 1 have seen the ad
vice given in two good agricuI
tural papers, Increase your
acreage by deepening your soil.
Now this is very wise counsel,
and easier done than to increase
your acreage by filling up the
gullies. but it will not improve
the appearance o! your farm as
much as the latter course. Dur.
ing the present winter | have
added about one acre TO my cul-
tivated land by this means, and
can testify that it is cheaper
than buying, in our section, at
$50 per acre. l don't mean to
insinuate, Mr.. Editor, that read
els of your up to.date paper al
low gullies to form in their cul
tivated fields, but | am referring
to The old ones with small trees
and stumps on either side of
them, which causes the plow-
man turning on both sides in
stead Of blowing straight on.
The first and most difficult
job is 10 dig out the stumps and
sprouts and then you are ready
for a two.horse turn pIow, a
scrape, AMI strong, ste ady pair
Of mules. | use one man to drive
and another to plOw. The stumps
can be rolled in the gullies, but
the sprouts and limbs should be
burned. Sometimes il is necas-
sary to dig of the edges OF the
gully 50 that the team can walk
a Ong the sides. Commence
plOwinc as near the bottom "a
you can and plow to the top,
and six 10 two ieel on either side.
Mex. use the scrape, pulling
dirt from both ,ides 10 center o

This work can be done much
easier when the soil is soft. 1t
Will pay to have one extra man
with mattock to dig up roots
when scraping Those who have
no experience will be surprised
how fast these old eye.sores on
our farms can be filled and then
the satisfaction OF looking on
an unbroken field.

Fine Farming---What a

Not long since | gave the profit

near Montmorenci, s. c., a few
miles below Augusta. He was ex
tremely Illiterate. Outside Of

Ten years ago he bought the

this man and published result of

And that amount was $500! He

his place and | showed him where

and advised 80 long as he could

body There was lots of clinching OF
| both sides and the referee had his
hands full Nelson was still fresh wher
the round ended, while McFadden had
bellows to mend.
The sixth saw Nelson going right
after his man and it certainly looked
all off with the local feather eight
champion, for he was sent to the
boards four times, staying down for
the limit on each occasion
The next two rounds We're of an even
give-and-t take nature, both boys do
ing plenty of leading and landing fire.
quentIy The crowd didn't like Nc
Fadden's stalling tactics but that was
Macs own business and he was vio-
lating no rule of boxing by clinching.
Rounds nine and ten witnessed Mel
son trying hard for a knockout. He
connected with McFadden's Jaw more
than once whereuDon that worthy's
face assumed a puzzled look. Mac
managed to curb Nelson's earnestness
with his left and the close of the go
saw both men strong on their feet.
Referee Metzner called it draw, a
decision that seemed to satisfy the
spectators. McFadden fought a heady
fight and showed fine seneralship
Nelson surprised everyone by his fine
showing. He is game and aggressive
and can give-and- a punch. With
more experience he is apt to develop
into a first-class boxer.

cautioned by the referee. The round
was Sullivan's.
Huihui mixed it with vengeance as
soon as the second round was ushered
in but Sullivan's straight lefts keep
creeping in all the while. The men
exchanged blow for blow until Sulli-
van sent in a stiff left punch to the
body which made the native vince. A
clinch followed and was broken by
Huihui again throwing his opponent to
the floor. Referee Keane stopped the
fight and gave the decision to Sullivan
on foul amid great excitement. Sulli-
van limped across the ring to shake
hands with Huihui and said that his
leg was hurt when he was thrown
down a second time.
Huihui said that he had no inten-
ton of committing a foul and that all
he wanted to do was to make Sulli-
van quit holding him in the clinch.
Sullivan fought his usual clean, cool
fight and looked like a winner from the
start of the contest.
The house was a good one and the
entertainment conducted in a way that
left nothing to be desired.

GOOD FIGHT BY NELSON

tiuihui Loses TO Sullivan on Foul---Wild Swan
OF Kakaako Tucks One Abe

Kahauielio knocked out Abe Nelson
in the second round, Jack McFadden
fought a ten-round draw with Young
Nelson and Bill Huihui lost to Dick
Sullivan on a foul in the second round.
Such were the results of last nights
boxing bouts at the Opera House.
Neither KahauIelio or Abe Nelson
possess as much science as a leg of
mutton but both were very willing,
which in some measure atoned for
their clunsiness.
Kahaulelio knocked his man down
twice in the first round, the sailor taxi
ing the count on both occasions. Then
Abe came to life and a straight left
to the Jaw staggered the native. Both
were tired when the gong sounded ana
il looked as if stiff breeze would blow
them over.
Abe managed to floor the 'Wild
Swan early in the second round ana
both went at it hammer and tongs for
a while. Kahaulelio sent right swing
to Nelson's jaw, knocking him through
the ropes, where he remained until
Referee Kiley counted him out. Both

The Britt-Nelson fight pictures are
wonders. Every face among the thou

and every blow struck in this, the most

MADDEN VS.. NELSON.
Smiling Metzner refereed this
bout, which was curtailed to 10 rounds.
Both men showed cleverness from
the start, Nelson taking the aggress-
i've and McFadden showing disposi>
ton to clinch, early in the game. Mel
son did some pretty work with his
right in the opening round, of which he
had somewhat the better.
Round two saw McFadden busy with
a strong left and an occasional right
chop. His opponent kept well covered,
however and kept on taking the battle
to McFadden.
Nelson dropped Mac early in the
third with right to the jaw. He was
going at his man like a young tiger.
Presently Mac drove the kids head
back with his left and the recipient
went down for moment
McFadden placed a couple of sting

put in some telling kidney punches.

FIRE BUG CAUSES BIG LOSS.
Texarkana Suffers Twenty-Two Thous- and Dollar Fire Loss Sum-
 day Night.

Texarkana, May "A destruc- tive fire of supposed incendiary origin destroyed the Rosebrook- Josey Wholesale Grocery Con- pany on Front street at 10:45 last night, and 1t was only by heroic work that the Cotton Belt depot and freight offices were saved. No arrests have been made, but it is thought that the firebug may be apprehended.
 The building was owned by w. A. Kelsey and valued at $8,OOO. The insurance was $5,OOO. The stock of goods were valued at SIP, ,000 and insured for $5,000.
 The building and stock were a total loss, and two cars of grain on the Cotton Belt siding by the building were also burned, the loss being S2,000. The total loss was $22,000.
 The building was in the central part of the town and for ti e it was thought that the flames would spread in all directions.
 Ben Applebaum and James Perry were seriously injured when the back doors of the build ing were burst open and the re- sulting draught carried the fire through the front doors among the crowd of men who were at- tempting to save some of the goods. They fell under the edge of the platform.

PHILLIPS DIES OF INJUP1
Conflicting Stories Come to light as to
 Little Rock Tragedy of Ist Friday.

Little Rock, Mayf7. Frank Phillips, who was |shot early Friday morning by Ben Stewart, his brother-in-lavC is dead. Stories relating to /the shooting are conflicting. fhe police re- port is to the effect that Stew art, in company with Frank and Henry Phillips, was up town a few hours previous to the shoot ing and that there was some dis agreeme in a Main street .sa- loon prior to the time they re- turned home on the car; that later Stewart went to the Phillips residence after the brothers had entered the house and dared Frank Phillips to come out and fight, shooting him as he emerged from the porch, and that the injured man and his brother then administered the beating which made the face of Stewart a mass of wounds when he surrendered to the police.
 The other story is that tie two Phillips brother attacked Stewart in front of the house of the Phillipses, forcing him on his back and beating him un- mercifully, and that while Frank Phillips was laying prostrate on the body of Stewart and beating him Stewart managed to pull a revolver, pressing it against the stomach of Phillips, and firing the bullets which resulted in hls death.
 Stewart is we'll known about town and much interest is mani fested in hts case.
