SHERIFF HAS A
 BUSY SEASON
Safe Blowers Wrecked Safe at Curry. town, But Were Anticipated and
 Gain Nothing.

Union Springs, August S.-(Special.)- Sheriff J. C.. Carmichael was called to Boswell in the southern part of the coun- ty to make arrest of some young white men who had had a serious difficulty Thursday night. Harvey Norris was bad ly cut by William Briggers. The sheriff returned with Briggers about o'clock last night.
 The sheriff was summoned to Curryton in the northeastern part of the county today to aid in the capture of safe rob bers. who entered the depot at that place last night, carried the safe into the woods and burst it open from the bottom. The robbers got nothing for their trouble, as the agent had seen some suspicious look ing characters hanging around during the afternoon and had taken the precaution to empty the safe of about $200 in cash. These men have not been captured, but a sharp lookout is being kept for them.
 Circuit court has been at work on the criminal docket the past week. Two ne- groes convicted of murder were sentenced to 40 and 20 years in the penitentiary, and four were sent up for four years each for grand larceny. A good many cases were continued.

FIREMAN IS HURT
 AT GADSDEN FIRE
FARMERS CONTRACT COTTON IN ADVANCE AT FLAT PRICE OF 10 IS ELECTED.

Gadsden. August S.-(Special)-A fire at noon today on Chestnut street burned two houses and for a time threatened several others. The houses destroyed were the property of w. T. Murphree and J. c. Jenkins During the progress of the fire Martin Gwin member of the volunteer fire department, fell from ladder and his arm was cut by broken glass. An artery was severed, but the presence of a physician secured prompt attention and no serious consequences are expected to follow.
 A number of the farmers of this vii cinity have taken time by the forelock and contracted their cotton at 10 cents a pound While the price may go higher than this, considering the prospect of a large crop and the uncertain industrial condition of the community, this is con- sidered a fair price and one at which the grower can realize fair profit.
 The district chairmen of township trus- tees met in Gadsden today and elected board of education to serve Etowah coun- ty for the next four years. Those select ed to discharge this important duty arc as follows: Alto V. Lee Jr.. Gadsden; W. c. Stevens, Duck Springs J. A. Gallant, Gallant; J. B. Matthias, Boaz. R. F. D. l.

 KILLS MIR. GOREE
WIFE WHO WAS STANDING BY HIM IS PARALYZED-CHII HAVE A NARROW ESCAPE ON WRECKED BED.

Decatur, August S.-(Special. .)-During a heavy rain and thunder storm last night, Samuel W. Goree was instantly killed by bolt of lightning as he stood in the front door of his home in West New De- catur watching the storm.
 At the time of MT. Goree's death his wife was standing close by his side and the same bolt of lightning that killed Mr. Goree paralyzed her. Her condition is critical, but it is said that she will re- cover.
 One corner of the Goree residence was torn out by the bolt.
 A strange freak was that bed in the house on which three of MT. Goree' S small children sat was torn into kindling wood by the same bolt that killed Mr. Goree, but the children were not even shocked.
 MT. Goree had resided in New Decatur for number of years and he bore the reputation of being a hard-working man and a good citizen. His untimely death is greatly regretted by all who knew him.

INSTITUTE PROGRAMME

Decatur, August S.-(special. )-Mayor Henry A. Skeggs announced this morn ing in an interview that he was a candi- date for reelection to the office of mayor of Decatur.
 MT. Skeggs has been Decatur's mayor for the past 10 years and has always made most progressive official. He has always been found at the front in all movements looking to the betterment and welfare of the city. Under his admins tration of the past few years the city has forged ahead and prospered as few cities of like size in the south. A sewer system has been constructed, a new union depot erected, several fine public school buildings have been built and many other public improvements made, and now miles of new sidewalks are being built and a number of streets paved. At the last election Mayor Skeggs was not a candidate, but the business men of the city put him in the race and he was elect ed by a larger majority than on former occasions.
 The city election takes place in Sep tember and at that time a mayor and five aldermen are to be elected. The an- nounced candidates for mayor thus far are Mayor Skeggs and Attorney Marvin West. As yet there are no announced candidates for aldermen, but it Is quite likely that the present aldermen will stand for reelection.

pounds of butter 80 per cent fat, but
today we have ten COWS (and possibly
more) that have done the trick. 1t
will soon be four years since Aaggie
Cornucopia Pauline placed the record
at 1892 pounds of butter 80 per cent
fat in her seven day official test, thus
making her queen of all dairy animals.
This wonderful record she held until
last winter, when the great Colantha
4th Johanna, who had not freshened
for three years, snatched the crown
from the head of the wonderful Aaggie
Cornucopia Pauline, by making 7-day
official test of 651.7 pounds of milk
which made 1922 pounds Of butter 80
per cent fat and 30-day record 2,873.6
pounds of milk which made 1886
pounds of butter 80 per cent fat, and
has finished her record-breaking year
with a credit of 27,432.7 pounds of
milk and 1,247.8 pounds butter so per
cent fat, thus breaking the years milk
record of De Kol Creamelle, and the
reported years butter record of Paul
inc.

records of the great Colantha 4th Jo-

of the next decade at least, and that
we are to see rapid and permanent
increase in popularity, provided some
of the present loop-holes are closed
The cry for quantity of product has
resulted in a response which passes
human comprehension; that cry will
now yield to the demand for higher
quality, that more subtle, and not so
easily controlled factor in dairy econ
omy.
'The most convincing proof of the
control of the objective mind over the
subjective is found in the rapid in.
crease in individual output, in answer
to the intelligently directed efforts of
the skilled breeder.
'It is remarkable that with this in
crease there has gone the evidence
of such great individual ability to
maintain quality, factor over which
man has but secondary control. Some
of the greatest producers have, out OF
their own individuality, proven the
possibilities of the breed along what
may justly be termed the higher line
of service, and to this level the breed
is to be brought.
ITO my mind the most vital prob
lem for the Holstein breeder today is
to increase the per cent Of butterfat
without detracting from the vitality
of the animal. Production does not
tax vital energies, being dependent,
first upon capacity and desire, backed
by constitutional vigor, and second,
the ability of the breeder to organize
and harmonic food and conditions.

BUTTERMAKERs' CONTEST.

The first of a series of butter ScOr-
ing contests under the supervision of
the Washington Buttermakers Asso-
citation was held at Seattle on May
9th, in the Miller-Reed-Pease cold
storage rooms. The scoring was done
by L. W. Hanson, state dairy instruc-
tor; w. M Pease, of Miller-Reed-
Pease, and F. E. Hopkins, butter
broker on the Seattle market. Mr.. j.
V. Shepard, one of the directors OF
the association, was in direct charge
of the contest.
There were fourteen entries and as
a whole the butter was very satisfac-
tory and up to standard. Ten OF the
fourteen entries scored above ninety
noints. The principal criticisms or the
judges were in regard to the Off ma
vors caused by too old or over ripe
cream. In a few entries there was
distinct weedy flavor. The color, also.
was far from uniform. each buttermak-
err having his own idea as to how much
butter should be colored. and as re-
suit no two entries had the same
shade. This alone should demonstrate
the need of such contests. Uniform
ity should be sought after and the
scoring contest Is the quickest and
best way to secure 1t.
The buttermakers who responded to
the call for the first scoring contest
are to be commended for the interest
they have shown in advancing this
work, and 1t Is sincerely hoped that

Admitting that there is opportunity
for increase in the per cent of solids,
and for increase in the per cent of SOL
ids, especially of fat, in the milk of the
Holstein COW, definite problem pre-
sents itself. Individual animals of in
dividual herds are noted for the high
quality of their products, but the craze
for quantity, in order to realize some
thing above cost of production for the
same, has checked the upward ten
dency with far too many breeders, UNI
til it is necessary that attention be
centered upon loss certain to follow
if counter current is not directed to
the raising of the standard of produc-
tion.'

4 three-year-old, has just made the re-
markable record of 1884 pounds but
ter 80 per cent fat in her seven-day
test, thus beating all previous three
year records. Bessie De Kol Rue I'd,
under two and one-half years old, in a
seven-day test has produced more
pounds of butter fat than was ever
made by cow of any other breed at
any age. Thus our Holstein-Friesian
COWS have made and now hold every
worlds official record from one day to
one year. And believe the Holstein-
Friesian cow has not yet reached the
limit of her capacity"
Another good record recently made
was that of De Kol Witkop Wayne I'd
$500. H., B., that produced in her Of
fetal test 4S4.5 pounds milk which
averaged ATT per cent fat, making the
nice record of 23.095 pounds butterfat
in seven days or 1887 pounds butter
by the 80 per cent factor. One day
in this test she made ATT pounds of
butterfat or over 500 pounds of but
ter $50 per cent?.
