WEDDING OF
YOUNG PEOPLE

A pretty home wedding was
solemnized at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Swail near Sheridan last
Wednesday when their daughter,
Miss Vadric, became the wife OF
Edward Springmsyer. Rev. c. H.
Powell, rector of st. Peters church
of Carson, officiated and the cere-
mony was witnessed only by re-
latives of the contracting parties.
Miss Claire Springmeyer, sister to
the groom, acted as bridesmaid
while John Cosser, uncle to the
bride, acted as best man.
Immediately after the nuptial
knot had been tied, the assemblage
partook of dainty wedding feast,
after which the young couple left
on a wedding trip to Southern
California where they will spend
the next two months.
The bride is the only daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Swail and is an
exceedingly beautiful young lady.
The greater portion of her young
life has been spent in this Valley
where her pleasing personality has
acquired her a host of friends.
The groom is the youngest son
of H. H. Springmeyer and is too
well known to be eulogized by the
writer more than that he is perfect
ly worthy of the young lady who
has so honored him by giving her
hand in marriage.
1t is a pleasure to chronicle the
marriage of such worthy young
people and on behalf of their many
friends, we watt to them our
warmest congratulations. 5.

ANDY BURKMAN
COMMITS SUICIDE

"lou will find my pocketbook in
my coat pocket. Good bye"
That was the message found on
the lifeless body OF Andy Burkman
well known in Carson Valley. The
body was found by 5. c. Anderson,
in the Anderson stable at Carson
last Sunday morning at 8 O'Clock,
suspended by a small cotton rope.
The rope was tied to a low hang
ing rafier in the stable, and the
body was so near the ground that
the suicide was compelled to doub-
lie his knees in order 10 get sufiic-
lent tension on the rope to slowly
strangle to death. The man had
been dead short time when
found.
On Sunday morning Mr. Ander-
son noticed Burkham about the
stable yard and spoke TO him, but
never noticed anything unusual in
his manner. About 8 o'clock Mr..
Anderson had occasion to go into
the stable, and as he entered he
saw what he thought a dummy
hanging at the southern end of the
building. He went to cut it down,
but when he drew near found the
supposed dummy to be Burkham
who had committed suicide.
Coroner Stern was summoned and
cut down the body, The above
note was found in the mans pock-
ct.
In addition to the pocketbook
found In the mans coat pocket
Coroner Stern also found a letter
dated November 10Th, requesting
that Chris Smith act as admins

Immediately. The question of re-

up.
The Farmers and Merchants
National Bank is one of the strong

BIG OIL DRHLER
FOR MONO LIKE

n. II. Bennett, one of the stock
holders of the Great Western Oil
company Of Los Angeles, was in
town this week busily engaged
experimenting the loading of two
carloads of oil well machinery for
transportation with big teams To
Mono Lake. The company is a
prominent factor in the oil pro-
duction of the coast and are
sanguine OF striking the oleaginous
product in the Mono Lake basin.
They have acquired considerable
territory around the lake and will
commence drilling just as soon as
the machinery, which includes
everything necessary for deep and
systematic drilling, is on the
ground. A twenty foot gasoline
launch for use on the lake is in
cluded with the parapharnalia.
The oozing of crude petroleum in
large quantities at a number of
places around the lake is absolute
evidence of underlying deposits.
Experts in oil, who have, within
the past year, examined the dis
trict, say that surface indications
in the Mono Lake basin are better
than was observed in the oil fields
of Southern California.

Northern "Animus" Eliminated.

No northern newspaper ever ar
raigned and condemned a southern
lvnching as effectively as, or more
severely than, has the committee of At
lanta's leading business men in its
report on the recent massacre in that
city.
The first point made by the COM
mittee is that the killing Of twelve ne
sroes. there was no justice, even OF
the wild" variety. Those. whom the
renort calls "the toughs who have
crucifed Atlanta in the eyes of the
world" made no attempt whatever to
find the negroes guilty, or even sus-
pected, OF the crimes that were the
nominal excuses for general butche-
erv. Instead they took those who
could be most quickly and convenient
ly found, and these, naturally, were
negroes of the best sort, quietly work
ing at respectable trades in the cen
tre of the city.
~Among the victims Of the mob"
we read, ..was not single vagrant.
The victims were earning wages in
useful work up to the time Of the
riot. They were supporting them
selves and their families Or dependent
relatives. Most of the dead left small
children and widows, mothers, or SIS
ters with practically no means ana
very small earning capacity. About
10 persons were wounded. Many OF
these are disfgured or permanently
disabled"
The second point made in the re-
port is that the killings were as use
less as they were wicked-had no de-
terring or frightening effect on the
really vicious class Of negroes, Tor
their assaults and robberies have con-
tinued as before. Why should they
not. since no criminal has been pun
ished? eft is clear" say the members
of the committee, "that several hun
dred murderers or would-be murder
ers are at large in this community.
Well. it certainly does look so, and
the natural conclusion from these
facts is that something rather serious
should be done in vindication of At
lanta's claim to civilization.-New
York Times.

THE WILLIAMSON PLAN.
The Formula Which May Revolution
ize Agriculture in South Carolina
and Put Wealth in Pockets Of
Farmers.

The State has published frequently
the formula, for the Williamson
plan or the way devised by Mr. e.
McIver Williamson, of Darlington, to
make five ears Of corn grow where but
one grew before. The formula as
given heretofore has been a little
long. The following has been prepar-
ed by Mr.. James Henry Rice, Jr., as
the most concise form in which it can
be given:
Break land in winter one-fourth
deeper than common lay Off in SIX
foot rows, leaving fve-inch balk.
When time to plant break out balk
with scooter, following in same fur
row, on this ridge. Ridge then with
same plow, going deeper; run corn
planter with Dixie plow, with wing
taken off. Plant as early as possible,
usually about middle Of March. Drop
corn grains every five or six inches.
Use no fertilizer. Give first working
with harrow or any plow that will
not cover plants. Second working
with 10 or 12-inch sweep ON both
sides of plant. Thin after this work
ing.
Corn should not be worked again
until sufficiently stunted, so that it
will never grow large. When it is
about 10 to 12 inches high put on fer
ti1izer. Mix 200 pounds cotton seed
meal, 200 pounds acid phosphate, 400
nonn6s kainit. Put half in old sweep
furrow, on both sides Of every other
| middle. Cover by breaking out mid
die with turn plow. One week later
treat the other middle in the same
wav. fertilizer and all. In few
DAYS side corn in first middle with
16-inch sweep. Put all your nitrate
of soda in this furrow, if less than
$50 pounds is used; if more. put
half. Cover with one furrow or turn
plow, then sow peas in middle broad
cast. at rate Of a bushel to the acre
and finish breaking out. Lay by ear
1v More corn is ruined by late piow-
ing than by lack of plowing. No hoe
ing is necessary and middle may be
kept clean until time to break out BY
narrowing.
For so bushels to the acre leave
stalks 1s inches apart; for IS bush
els p inches; for 100 bushels,
inches apart.
