And the Rain Dssessdsd.

The backbone Of the dry spell was
broken Wednesday night = right after
slsetion-or at least the vsrtsbras Of Old
Aridity was given serious wrench. Up
to noon yesterday there had been pre-
eipitation Of 27-lo0 Of an inch. That
wouldn't be much in some places. but II
Is a good deal for section Of country
that has been without any moisture that
was measurable by the AgrieulturslDEx-
pertinent Station rain-metrs since Novsm-
Der lst On that date we had 22-loo Of
an inch. The very small furries Of snow
during the past winter months added
nothing pereeptibls to our. ground moist
ure. 1t is easy to imagine therefore that
the gentle downpour that began Wednes-
day evening, and which has continued up
to date Of writing. was greeted joyfully
by everybody. particularly the beet grow
ers who have got their seed in early.
The water in the river has been low, and
the outlook has been too dry for even a
Prohibitionist for the past month. That
is why everybody is feeling like duck in
q large mud puddle just now.

UNDER UNWRITTEN LAW.
Nashville Physician Instantly Killed
By Husband.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, November s.
Doctor, hate to do this but it is
my duty
So saying, Thomas S. Bush shot
and almost instantly killed DR.. H:
McF. Allen, a prominent physician of
East Nashville, who had long been
his friend. =.
It is certain the "unwritten law
will be invoked once more. Bush,
who is only twenty-one years old,
who took lovely bride less than a
year ago, broke his long silence. He
made a formal statement that his
wife, who was Miss Blanche Lewis
Curried, of this city, went to DR.:
Aliens office for medical treatment
on Saturday last. Mrs. Bush, her
} husband says, told him that DR.. Allen
had attacked and overcome her in
his Office. Bush then determined to
kill the doctor. :,
DR.. Allen came from his office and
was about to enter his automobile,
when Bush walked up to him, and,
after expressing his regrets, fired.
Bush has wealthy relatives, the
Allen connection is influential, and a
hard struggle must follow in the
courts.

Foster caused the sinners to turn to
the Saviour. All the people enjoyed
his sermons, and our church was
blessed by his preaching. Twenty:
four confessed Christ as their Saviour,
and / baptized one young lady the
month before the meeting, so that is
twenty five in all added to the church
this year.
On the first Sunday in October our
meeting at Lower Three Runs began.
Bro. A. J. Foster, of Bamberg, was

Captain Alkkelsen. though this lane
runs toward the northwest, the whales
were next seen by the whalers in July
hundreds of miles eastward. The the
ory Of Mikkelsen was that there must
be land of some magnitude to the
north from which the Ice recedes In
the spring. The fight Of birds In the
same direction added to this belief.
No attempt was to be made to reach
the pole. The ship sailed from Brit
ish Columbia flying the Canadian and
American flags. One unusual feature
was the total absence Of alcoholic hq-
uors from the supplies.
A later report from Captain Mkkel-
sen and his companion, Earnest Lef-
fingwell, to the American Geographical
society said that the sledge trip to the
north of Alaska had covered 500 miles
and that they had crossed the edge OF
the continental shelf twice, while their
soundings at fifty miles off the coast
showed q depth Of 2,060 feet without
touching bottom. From this it is In
ferred that the land supposed to exist
north Of Alaska had not been discoV-
cred. The explorers say they will con-
tinue their work in Beaufort.

of factory at Matoeka. The babe,
which is named William Edward

weighs ITO pounds. The babe at
birth was of normal weight, but has
increased steadily in weight, until it
is now a prodigy and weighs almost
as much as it's mother.
