March 10. Last year 10 the same
date the orange shipments amounted
To 1895 cars. and lemons 1865 cars.
Thus the shipments this year on that

been more than made up by the holi

THERE ARE NO GHOSTS.
Grave Digger of Thirty-ffve Years
Experience Says So.

Thirty-fve years a grave digger and
never saw spook!
That is the record held by John AL
bert, 1918 Alamado street, this city.
Mr.. Albert is now in the sunset
days. He celebrated his sixty-ninth
birthday a short time ago.
Four years ago he ceased digging
graves. The rapid advance of old age
forced him to seek another occupation.
For th1rty-f1ve years Mr.. Albert dug
graves. He has buried enough people
to make city of goodly population.
He says he has put beneath the sod
more than 5000 dead bodies. He has
been in graveyards at all hours of the
day and night. He has slept beside
newly made graves and has never had
the graveyard hunch' or seen a sure
'nough ghost
The old gravedfgger has been a resi-
dent of Nashville for only about two
years. He came here from Louisville,
Ky. At that place he was engaged in
digging graves for ten years. Before
going to Louisville he was at Lebanon,
KY, as gravedigger in Riders ceme-
terry. He held this position for many
years. He has made graves in Lexing-
ton, Danville and other Kentucky
cities.
This spook business" said Mr.. AL
bert. as all bosh. I have dug enough
graves to bury two or three small
towns. I have been in graveyards in
the dead hours of night; have heard
ly made graves. but never did I see
real spirit.

ever. The wind was moaning through
the tall grass in the graveyard and the
moon was hid behind black clouds.
Somehow 1 felt nervous; L could not
sleep. 1 thought I heard strange
tapping on my window pane. My
house was almost in the center of the
cemetery. Securing my shotgun
walked out into the night. The monu-
ments never seemed whittier or the
night blacker- I had walked only a
few feet when I thought heard some
thing tripping behind me. Turning
like a flash 1 could discover nothing.
Walking little further into the grave
yard, my blood commenced to Jingle.

getting the graveyard hunch;" you
are becoming scared I tried to shake
off the feeling, but somehow it

I'm q few minutes 1 reached a spot
near a newly-made grave of a young
girl, and fell upon the grass to rest
a few moments. The moon broke from
behind the clouds and shone sickly like

menced to howl and the wind rushed
with a frightened whirr through the
tall trees and grass. Cold and hot
flashes ran up and down my spinal col

like a human moan. I could stand 1t

direction for something to shoot at:

and the pine trees. Again

to fall; one splashed in

LEE CAMPBELL FILES ANSWER.
VIII Contest the Action of His Wife
for Divorce.

Lee Campbell. a clerk for the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway COM
pany, proposes to contest the action
brought by his wife, Lulu M. Campbell.
for a divorce. This was evidenced by
his answer to her suit which was filed
for him with the clerk of the district
court today by his attorneys, Schoch,
Hotch kiss & Wilson.
Mrs. Campbell brought suit for d.
yorce from her husband some weeks
ago. In her petition in this suit it
was stated that they were married on
August IS, 1904, and had one child,
Harry w. Campbell, eighteen months
old. She asked for the divorce on al
legations that her husband had been
harsh and cruel to her. She stated
that since January, 1907, they had
made their home with her father and
that on June 16 of this year her hus-
band had ordered her to leave her
fathers home although he had no
other place prepared for her to go to.
On her refusal to do SO he left her
and her child on June % and has not
contributed to their support since that
time She alleged further than since
his desertion he had annoyed and hu-
inflated her by threatening to take
the child away from her and that these
threats were made frequently in public
places. Mrs. Campbell asked suit for
the divorce and also for the custody of
the child.

SINNER MAN OF MYSTERY
Makes Strange and Secret Journey to
St. Louis.

Ed c. Sinner, secretary of the state
board of railroad commissioners, left
Friday night for St. Louis, Mo-, on a
mysterious flying trip which is sup
posed to have some connection with
the new schedule of freight rates
which the state board of railroad
commissioners is expecting to put
into effect.
1t is said that Mr.. Sinner went to ST.
Louis to confer with the freight rate
expert who has been employed by the
board to get up the Kansas chedules,
and this naturally revtveS the rumor
that the Kansas board has hired J. c.
Lincoln for this work.
J. G. Lincoln is the freight traffic
manager for the st. Louis chamber of
commerce, and was hired on a ten
year contract at $4,000 a year. He
was formerly general freight agent
for the Missouri Pacific, and is rec
ognized as one of the leading freight
tariff experts in the country. He is
descendant of Abraham Lincoln, and
somewhat resembles the Great
Emancipator.
It is announced that Mr.. Sinner will
return to Topeka on Sunday. Mr..
Sinner and the members of the board
have been working overtime of late
preparing schedules to show the
freight rates of Kansas compared
with the freight rates of other neigh
boring states.

Chicago, Aug. 10.-Clymer's prodigious
batting average shrunk some during the
last week. but it is still way to the
good, and easily the top number of the
American League. Niles, who was
counted morning glory. actually gain
ed some during the week, and seems
safe to stick near the top.
Flick is holding his own. and is like
ly to upset Niles at almost any time.
Cobb and Crawford, the Detroit slug
gers, alternate with each other in the
leadership of their team.
Detroit and New York are tied for
the lead in team batting, while the
Athletics lead in extra bases. The
White Sox have fallen to seventh place
in the hitting records, but still lead N
team fielding.
Several pitchers have managed to
maintain perfect fielding records Jack
O'Connor heads the catchers and Dno-
hue the first baseman. The second base
horrors belong to Lajoie and Bradley
heads the third baseman since the pass
ing Of Lave Cross. O'Leary leads the
shortstops. and Hahn has the really
swell record among the outfielders,
