satisfied in his own mind how it all
came about.
From what can be learned from
witnesses, Motorman Phillips was
not careless in handling his car, and
did all IN his power to stop the car
when he saw that an accident was
certain and sure. It could not be ex-

RUN OVER BY STREET CAR
Mr.. John Archer Struck by Walnut
Street Car Last Night Injuring
Him Pretty Badly But Not Ser
iously.

While attempting to cross Walnut
street IN front of Isenbergs saloon
about ZOO o'clock last night, Mr..
John Archer was struck by street
car. The front of the car hit him in
the jaw, knocking him back into the
street. Mr. Archer was taken to DIR.
Shivers' office where a few stitches
were made, and the unfortunate man
will soon be himself again without
a scar on his face.
Motorman Phillips, who had
charge OF the car, and the witnesses
to the accident say that Mr.. Archer
walked right into the car, not heed
ing the warnings of the gong. Mr..
Archer is very hard of hearing and
this is probably why he did not heed
the warnings, and at the time he was
walking with his head bent down and
did not see the car approaching.
The shock dazed him and he did
not recover until the doctor had

That Cotton Picker

Messrs. Cohn, Whitney and Cold
farb, of Greenville, have purchased
the patent right of cotton picker,
which they claim is success. It
takes FIVE men to run it, and it is
claimed that it will gather five bales
day. It is run by gasoline, the
picker gathers by suction. It will be
remembered that some years ago
the late J. P. Hadseli, Of this county,
undertook to perfect picker, but
never completed the same. The sue
ton process was his idea. The old
machine still lies along side the May
ersville and Rolling Fork road in the
Mount Level field about three miles
from this town -Mayersville Spec

RAISES BEETS AT ONTARIO.
Farmers Rent Their Land to Japs for
$50 Per Acre for the Season.

A private letter received from Prof.
f. B. Conklin, formerly city superin-
tendent of public schools in Pendleton,
says that he is preparing a large tract
of irrigated land for sugar beets which
grow well in that locality. A cores
pondent from Ontario to the Boise
Capital News says of the prospect for
beetgrowing in that district:
Farmers around ontario, Nyssa and
Payette will soon become plutocrats
or at least bloated bond holders. Sew
eral of them have renter their alfalfa
land to the Jap beetgrowers for a cash
rental of $50 per acre. In addition to
that the farmer plows the land, drills
the beet seed and in harvest time
hauls the beets to market for all of
which he is paid a good round sum.
The land which brings this fancy
price must be smooth and have grow
ing heavy sod of alfalfa or other
grass crop. 1t is evident the Japs will
make good money as there are several
instances where farmers last year
cleared from $40 to 1866 per acre by
growing beets and hiring them culti-
waited.
