Mrs. General Pickett

Colonel Willard French contrib
utes an excellent article to the June
issue of The Lyceumite and Talent,
the only journal of the lyceum,
called The Beautiful Side" in
which he comments on the platform
work of Maud Darlington Booth and
Mrs General Pickett. Of the latter
he says:
Mrs. Pickett scintillates the Sun
ny South, in heart and mind and
body. She is tall, with iron-gray
hair blown back in waves by rest
less breezes from a broad, intellect
ual forehead, lined by heavy brows
over very large. hazel eyes that flash
and laugh and sympathize, in har-
mOny with her sentiments, with mar
velous effectiveness. She has a
strong, Southern face, touched with
shadows cast by long line of an
cestry which has always dominated
the history of Virginia. But there
are no lines except from laughing
and her cheeks are still brilliant
with spring roses. So are her
thoughts. On and off the platform
she is ideally the personification of
Southern grace and imperturbable
dignity. She, is a beautiful memory

WHEAT LATE BUT
IN GOOD SHAPE
Adams County Harvesting Delayed
About Fifteen Days by Late
Spring

| WASHTUNCA, July 7.-Through-
out southern Adams county grain
| is in fair condition, though the
spring sown crop is beginning to feel
the effects of the drought. Some
fields of fall sown wheat are espe-
cially promising.
All grain in the Washtunca coun-
| try is from ten to fifteen days later
than in average years, on account
of the backwardness of the spring.
Last year some farmers were in
their fields on July 5, while this
season only few will begin harvest
! ing by July Is. There have been no
signs of hot winds, which cut down
the 1906 crop, deteriorating the
quality Snow in the mountains is
expected to have modifying infiu-
ence on the temperature, favoring
the growth of grain throughout this
part of the state.
China lettuce and Jim Hill" mus
tard have appeared in many sections,
and the county authorities are using
drastic measures to stamp out these
noxious weeds Southwest and south
of Washtunca farmers are cutting
wheat for hay, the weeds growing
so thick as to destroy the value of
the fields for grain.
Fruit in Rattlesnake fiat districts
and in the Cow Creek country, with
the exception of peaches, is in f)m-
Using condition. The orchards were
not so badly injured by the frosts
as at first supposed. Cherries, which
do not usually ripen before July 4,
matured a week or ten days earlier.
Apricots will make fine showing,
though the peaches did not survive
the spring.
The four warehouses at Washtun-
ca are now nearly cleared of grain.
Shipments have been rapid the past
six weeks, removing all doubt that
the companies will be able to shelter
the grain in the receiving season.
The high price of IS cents for blue
stem and 73 cents for red wheat is
of no benefit to Washtucna farmers,
most of whom sold their wheat
shortly after the harvest of last year.

SULZER ADNIRES AND
FAVORS ROOSEVELT
Classes the President as a Good
Enough Democrat for
Him.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Represent-
ative Sulzer, of Manhattan, the not
ed friend of the common people, who
almost had a chance of receiving the
democratic gubernatorial nomina-
ton last year, gave out a rather in
teresting interview, which entities
him to be added to the list of the
Roosevelt democrats.
This is what he had to say:
mo power in the world can pre-
vent the denomination of President
Roosevelt next year. He has such a
hold on the people that many want
him for president as long as he lives.
No combination of political Leaders;
can prevent his nomination, and Mr..
Roosevelt will be forced to accept.
in spite of himself.

working them out to their logical
conclusion and in that l shall sup

Who will be the democratic can

asked.

THE SANE" FOURTH
OF JULY
The Casualties are Thirty-Seven
Lives Lost and Over Two
Thousand Injured.

The Fourth of July editorial is
now being dished up throughout the
United States. The question of a
sane" Fourth is again being dis
cussed. AS sample of the editorials
being written the following from
the Tacoma News is one:
Tympanums that still are fretful
from AS hours of din are sending
their nervous pulsatiOns to the reass
oning centers of hundreds of Taco
ma brains today, with the result
that the streets throb with the de-
mand for a saner, safer Fourth.
None of us for moment would
check the simple festivities of the
small boy with his squibs and pin
wheels, nor would we curb the en-.
thusiasm of the adult patriot whose
enthusiasm convinces him that he
can afford to pay 81 each for sky
rockets that fade into a streak of
thin blue smoke in five seconds.
But there is a sensible limit to the
use of dynamite within the city's
precincts. Hundreds of women were
severely and dangerously shocked
yesterday by the explosion of charges
under street cars, the impact being
so great as to rock the vehicles and
threaten to shatter the steel wheels.
Cannon crackers a foot long were
exploded among crowds on Pacific
avenue and elsewhere. The satanic
cane that explodes at ones ankles,
and the deadly pistol with its charge
of lockjaw and undertaker's bills,
banged deafeningly for a day anc
two nights. Certainly, had Dante
waited a while, his picturesque
story of hades would have added
terrors by the insertion of descrip-
ton of an American Fourth of July.
There seems to. be but one way
of subduing the din, and that is to
prohibit the sale of toy pistols, can
non crackers and other devices that
point to the insane asylum. To at
tempt to prohibit their use is idle,
for the reason that the city could
not employ enough policemen to
enforce such an ordinance. A stiff
penalty for selling other parapher-
MALTA of high explosive power. will
have an effect of reaching the desired
end. 1t is subject well within the
power of the council and police dAk
partment to regulate.
Here is another one from the Spo-
kane Chronicle:
There are few things more worthy
of encouragement than true patriot
ism, but every year just after the
Fourth the question is in order:
docs the present method Of show
Ing patriotism by the use of expos
Ives pay"

Charlie Harris, negro farm
hand, who yesterday shot and ia

a prominent farmer, was lynched
last night by a mob of about 40

Shocking Tragedy in Saluda.
Brother Kills Brother.

Saluda special in the News
and Courier: A shocking tratri-
eide was committed last night in
the extreme northwestern Sec
ton of this county when Lawton
Lowery, young white man,
shot his brother, Preston Lowery,
to death in the home of the lat
ter.
From the meagce Information
obtained this morning at this
distance from the sceue OF the
awful tragedy it appears that
Lawton Lowery, who lives in
the home of his brother whom
he has slain, came in some time
during the night, and going to
his brothers. room with shot
gun told him he was going to
kill him. The dead man replied: :
"No, | reckon not, but seeing
the drunken condition of Lawton
and fearing he would do some
thing rash, he ran under the bed
from him. After remaining un
der the bed for short time he
started to come out, whereupon
the fatal shot was fired and he
was killed almost Instantly.
The affair is deeply deplore
by the people in that section
who know the two boys. Lawton
was the older and unmarried
Preston Lowery was married
They lived in the same home
and were farming together. There
seems to have been no cause. al
all for the homicide and it is
attributed to the drunkenness OF
Lawton, who, it is said, was
addicted not only to drink but
also to the use of morphine.
