y. f.. Loyu oi italy Tex. recently
shipped 10 Northern markets two
car loads OF turkeys I'm one day.
/ Each of these ears contained 500
turkeys They were bought from the
farmers In the vicinity of Italy The
same day r. J Monk of Terrell
shipped q car of turkeys to Green
vile. These birds were also bought
at and near the place of shipment.
These shipments show that the far
mers of the respective localities are
making the hest Of their opportuni-
ties. The money they receive for
their turkeys and other fowls they
would not have had Il they had not
raised them; so they are In pocket
just that much
One strange feature of this item
is that Gr.euyille and vicinity did
not raise enough of the birds to sup
ply the local demand, at least
Prices for turkeys in some sec
lions of the state have not been as
good this fail as they should have
been but il is quite likely that they
will improve during the present
month. II is a matter Of satisfac-
ton that the raising of turkeys and
other fowls Is of comparatively small
expense, in proportion to the money
received for them. 1t is cause for
congratulation that the raising of
fine poultry and fine stock is being
carried on in Texas to greater eX-
tent each succeeding year
Texas has already made for itself
a reputation for turkeys and other
| poultry, and northern buyers es-
pecially look to this state for their
supplies at least in a large measure.
The farmer who, when he walks ont
TO his barn lot, hears the gobble Of
turkeys. the quacking Of geese, the
CaclIe OF hens. the grunt of hogs,
the ueighiug of good horses, the
lowing of fine cattle and proceeds
to open the door OF a fun barn from
which ne gets the food with which
to supply their wants, Is the most
independent individual i'm the
country for he knows that he has
about am hc needs. and these, too,
exclusive of his cotton and other
crops 10 is matter for CongraJula-
zion that the number of farmers in

Harvey r. Spessard, the Democratic
nominee for Congress in the Sixth dis
trict of Maryland, on Saturday issued
his formal letter Of acceptance. It is
devoted largely to a condemnation Of
everything Republican. Nh Spessard
says he stands for revision of the tariff,
additional legislation to correct the evils
Of railroad rate legislation, the passage
of law giving equal rights to labor and
capital, and a constitutional amend
ment providing for the election Of
United States senators by direct vote
of the people.

1883 he removed to Gainesville, Ga,
where he studied under private tutors
and at boarding schools. Alternating
course in law he was admitted to the
Georgia bar in 1869, beginning his pro-
fessional life with bright prospects for
success. His early advancement was,
however, greatly impeded by several
attacks of dyspepsia, which developed
into nervous form and was responsible
for his becoming addicted to the use Of
strong drink. 1t was not long before
that habit had put an end to his career
as lawyer. Early in 1872 he became
deeply impressed on the subject of re-
ligion and in the same year he pro-
fessed conversion and was within
short time enrolled as a clergyman in
the Methodist Episcopal church South.
For eight years he served as pastor
Of various charges under the North
G eorgia conference. He then became
agent for the North Georgia Orphan
age, remaining in that work for twelve
years, during which period he devoted
much time to evangehstic labors all
over the country. Later he devoted him
self almost exclusively to that work and
the lecture platform, holding great re-
vival meetings in all parts Of the United
Sta ties. In summer months he was the
principal figure on the platforms Of
various chautauquas. AS an evangelist
his methods were striking and unique
and his labors were frequently attended
by the most gratifying results. He was
the author of the following works:

Of the evangelist until news was re
ceived Of his death on train near
Little Rock.
Later it developed That Mr. Jones

SHERIFF ALBERT L. LEE.
A Correspondent Replies to Some IN
called for Comments.

Recently through the columns of the
Piedmont Independent and one of our
local contemporaries, Sheriff A. L. Lee.
of Garrett county, was unjustly held
up before the public as being responsible
for the escape of the seven prisoners
from the Jail here
In defense of our worthy Sheriff Mr..
5. Edward Corbett, an ex-official re-
siding at or near Piedmont, published
the following IN the last issue of the
Piedmont Independent, which we hear
lily approved and with pleasure repro
duced in these columds.
The letter from Mr.. Corbett is ad-
dressed 70 the Independent and reads
as follows:
Referring to the article in the hide
pendent of Sept. %, signed &C. J. F. :"
In justice to Sheriff Lee, of Garrett
county, | wound like to say about four
years of my life have been spent as a

time l have worked in several states
with a great many different officers.
1t has been my pleasure to work with
Mr.. Lee on several trying cases, and
although he has only one arm consider
him as brave and impartial an officer as
| ever knew. l think the citizens of
Garrett county made no mistake in
electing him to the office he now holds.

ambitions in that direction, but merely

does the Sheriff Of Garrett county an in
justice by censuring him as he did. Was
the Jail delivery at Oakland any fault
of the sheriff or his deputies?
Has not.the affairs Of Sheriff office
been conducted as good since his cleo
ton as before?
rs there any one instance where his
one arm prevented him from discharg-
ing his duty as a man? don't see why
this lone prejudice should exist against
Mr.. Lee, man who has and is continu-
ing to discharge his duty in every sense
of the word, an ideal officer and citizen.

Letter to G. S. Hamiil.
Oakland, Nd.

Dear Sir: Here's tale with three or
four tails to il.
Professor Irvine has an Academy,
Mercersburg, Penn. He paints the
floors in summer vacation. 1t used to
take 80 gallons Of paint. There were
two paint-stores there, and he used to
buy tone year Of one, next year Of the
other 80 gallons year after year.
Now he paints Devoe; 60 gallons; and
the difference IS a saving Of $50 a year.
H. C. FaIlon was one Of those deal
ers, good man; but he wouldn't take up
Devoe; so We turned to the other, !. A..
Boyd. But Fallon has found it neces-
sary to get good paint to compete
with Devoe. He got one Of the eight
honest paints. He has a big hardware
store and is doing an excellent hardware
business; hut Boyd, Of course, has the
run on raint-he's a little hardware
man.
We don't care how little or big man
is if he wants good paint and is active
and sound.

DAMAGE TO THE APPLE
CROP WILL De $4,000
This is Conservative Estimate Made
by Leading Horticuturists.
FREEZE LAST WEEK RESPONSIBLE.
While Much of the Fruit Has Been
Ruined Great Quantity had Been
Gathered and Stored Away Prior
to the Snow.

Owing to the freeze experienced last
week throughout Garrett county the
farmers are poorer by at least S25, 900,
which estimate has been placed on the
loss sustained to the apple crop by
number of conservative farmers who
are in good position to know.
The apple crop in this county was the
best for large number of years and
owing to the scarcity Of this fruit in
other portions of the country prices
away above the average was in sight
for our agriculturalists, but the sudden
turn in the weather last week when the
mercury dropped from 50 degrees On
Monday to u degrees on Friday put
quietus on prospects of those who had
apples to place upon the market.
Thousands of bushels Of this fruit.
yet hanging on the trees, was frozen so
solidly that within an hour after the
sun appeared Saturday the water
streamed out and left in many places
but the rind of the fruit and the stem
supporting it upon the tree. In other
instances the apples, apparently
unhurt fell to the ground and went into
pulp.
While large number Of farmers had
gathered much of the fruit and stored
it, the great majority had comparative
ly few bushels housed. AS a conse-
quence Of the freeze apples have al
ready advanced in price and they vii
probably 90 much higher.
