To Engage in Truck Raising

We learn upon good authority thzt
Mr.. George Wheatley is arranging
to engage in the truck raising bust
ness next year on very large scale
He Is now engaged III getting his
land ready for early planting and ex-
poets to have as early vegetables for
the Greenville market as can be
raised at any point in the state.
MIR. Wheatley has already demon
strated his success as dairyman and
we feel confident that he will make
the same success as a truck raiser
There is no doubt about the lands OF
the Delta making as fine vegetables
as any lands in the state and by care
and proper cultivation can be matur-
ed as early
Mr. Wheat1ey's success in this new
business will be carefully watched
this coming year, and should it prove
the success which we anticipate, it
will be the means of attracting to
this county and around this city
scores of truck farmers who will
build UP an industry that will bring
dollars to Greenville.

I. c. STOCKHOLDERS HAVE
EXCITING TIME
FISH CONTINGENT WINS
Committee of Three is Counting
Proxies and Until They Conclude
Result Will Not Be Known-Fish
Eouyant and Confident

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. I6.-The Illinois
Central stockholders meeting broke
up in a row this afternoon, and ad.
journed TO meet at O'Clock when
the directors will be chosen. The
fight was precipitated by William
Nelson Cromwell, Ifarrirnan's attors
ney, who wanted to adjourn the
meeting until tonight, but Patton,
president of the board OF trade, led
the Fish contingent against such a
proceeding and won out.
The committee of three IS still
counting the proxies and until they
the majority Hartman is not so
confident as he was yesterday while
Fish is bouyant and declares that he
will win out
So determined was the opposition
in selecting the proxy committee that
Judge Ball had to intervene 10 make
it up, Fish and Hartman being un-
able to agree as to who should make,
up this committee. The loss of the
disputed votes yesterday to Harri-
man has given his prospects very
bad eye and this fact had a great
deal to do with turning the tide in
favor Of Fish today. 1t is a struggle
to the finish between the two and all
railroad and financial circles are
deeply interested in the outcome.

An Tnteresting Sight

The Times received enough paper
Thursday to last until the new year
The big rolls of paper, weighing
some FIVE and six hundred pounds,
attracted great deal OF attention
from the people along Main street
as they were rolled off in front of the
office. 1t is the intention OF the
management of the paper at some
near date of running off on some
Saturday afternoon one half of the
Sunday paper SO that the ladies of
the city can see the working of our
perfect1ng press, a press which re-
ee}ves the paper from the roll and
wnen it comes out is printed, cut,
counted and folded, the sheet being
ready for the carrier The press runs
ten thousand an hour. This press,
together with our typesetting ma
chine, is a sight worth coming to see
as both are wonders in the art Of
printing of the present age.

Give us what you got, were the
words heard by Theodore Moyse
last night At the tent OF the Arkansas

and as he turned around to see who
had addressed him, he was grabbed
by a medium sized negro and on
breaking lose his hold, a larger man
grabbed him and as he did so, slashed
MS arm with a knife A short strug
gle ensued between the three men
when Moyse, breaking away, ran to
wards the city. He came at once TO
the Arlington hotel and reported the
holdup to Captain Chapman, who,
mounting his horse, which was in
front of the hotel, went on a run for
She river TO capture the holdups. On
arriving, Officer Chapman could see
nothing Of the highwaymen and he
afterwards learned shat about the
time OF the hoIdup a man came over
IN a sl0iff with some water melons
and the skiff being gone, it is sup
posed that the two men took The skitf
ard went to the Arkansas side.
The holdup occurred about seven
o'clock. Mr.. John Scruegs, the
agert of the arkansas River Packet
Company, who is in charge, had lett
the wharf only a few minutes before
and Moyse, his assistant, had Just
finished his work and was getting
ready to leave when the holdup took
place. DR.. Miller dressed his arm
on which he received a long but no,
very deep cut.
It is pity that the pair could not
have been captured for it is such
ducks as these who appear very be-
comingly in stripes.
