LAST DAY OF FARMERS.
rriSea Awarded At Auburn Summer
 School

School.
 Auburn, August 6.--(special) )-The last day of the summer school was opened by a lecture on the chemtcal and physical properties of soil, by pr. !. n. Anderson. This lecture was in- teresting and profitable to the large number of farmers who heard it.
 Prof. B. B. Ross then gave an in- terestinR lecture and demonstration on making syrup by the use of a steam evaporation. He also explained how to test the syrup to determine when 1t was at the correct density.
 The sale of Berkshire plgs was the next thing in order. R. B. Nixon sold one Berkshire pig about six months old at $40. and another at $2S. Following this was the announcement and delivery of prizes.
 The attendance at the exercises to- day was very large. the number being about 1.2O0.
 It was the opinion of all that this session of the summer school surpassed all others in attendance, enthusiasm and in valuable information. The stimulus to the farmers from thirty i've counties in Alabama and from five states cannot be measured' no doubt many of them will return home and put into practice the new ideas gained while attending the summer school at Auburn.

The Greatest Grocery Ba.fnes. In the
 World,

The Greatest Grocery Busfness In the
 World.
 "The greatest Grocery business In the World" is the title of full page write-up of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company which apeared in a recent Issue of The New York Even ing Journal It Is story of wonder ful achievement and of facts hitherto not realized by the patrons of the branch store located in Montgomery or to those of many of the SIT stores scattered throughout the length and breadth of the United States.
 The article gives thorough review of how and why the Atlantic and Pa- cifc Tea Company can sell the high est possible cost to the purchaser. It tells of how the buying Is accomplish ed. the tests for quality which are made, and of how everything is hand led after the purchase.
 Cuts. illustrating the article. com pare the volume of business done in several articles with the bulk of va rious large buildings. Upon conserv- ative estimate 1t is shown that the volume of business done in groceries to be more than four times as big as the steamship "Lusitania;" the coffee sales are shown as a large sack inside of which one could place 10 statues the size of Liberty in New York harbour.
 The delivery service in it's vastness is shown by the harness factory, the wagon factory, the department for the buying of horses. It is because of this that the housewife has no enbar- rassing waits for groceries.
 The new concrete home building is described with it's machinery for the clean rapid handling of goods. The home plant occupies an entire block and is a perfect example of modern reinforced concrete. not stick of wood being used in its construction. The coffee roasting department. one of the largest in the world. Is de- scribed in detail. The tea floor and blending room, the tea chests and the packing rooms are given space.
 Throughout the whole of the article one can not help but see that quality At the lowest bottom price Is the | ideal aimed at in the company's deal 1 ings with the public. These great | departrnental savings are all shared with the customers of the SIT stores | of the company throughout the coun- | try. and that is why the Great Atlantic | and Pacific Tea Company is selling | inc best groceries at by far the low | est prices. -AaN'

NEGRO SHOT IN A STRUGGLE Deputy McCord Kills William Gilmer. SHOT THROUGH THE HEART Fight Was Over a Passage in the
 Road. The Nesro Used Knife and Cut the Deputy's Coat Into shreds
 Before the Pistol Could
 Be Used.

As result of trouble arising from disputed right of way on the Mobile road near the city limits. Deputy sher- if and Night Jailer Harry Mccord yes terday morning about o'clock fired two shots through the heart of ne- gro. William Gilmer, killing him in stantly. Deputy McCord was practi- cally unhurt in the tussle.9
 Deputy Mccord said yesterday that he was driving along the Mobile road near the city limits with gypsy in his buggy when he met a negro driving q wagon at 6 very narrow place In the road. The deputy called to the negro to take the side of the road as close as he dared and that he would do the same thing on his side.
 The negro. who was driving his mother at the time is said to have cursed the deputy, telling him in vile language to take the deep ditch on the side of the road if he wished to pass. The deputy suppressed his wrath until the passing was safely made and then he jumped to the ground with his bug gy whip In his hand. He approached the wagon and struck the negro with his whip because of the language which he had used.
 The negro immediately jumped from his wagon with an open knife in his hand and the two ciinehed. The negro tried to use his knife and succeeded in cutting the deputy's coat Into shreds in his efforts to stab the deputy in the neck. In the struggle the deputy's collar was cut in two but luckily nc wound was made upon the neck.
 Mir, McCord attempted to draw his revolver, but the negro being on top of the deputy, prevented its effective use for some minutes. By a lucky twist the deputy was enabled to get his re- volver into play with the result that the negro was shot through the heart twice, death being practically instan- tnneous.
 Throwing the dead body off of him the deputy climbed back Into the bug gy and drove to the county jail where he explained the whole matter to sher- if Hood. The gypsy. who sat in fear in the buggy during the struggle. wal also brought to the jail and was a wit. ness to MT. McCord's statements
 The mother of the dead negro took the body of her son and conveyed 1t to her house where a negro undertaken
 was summoned to prepare 1t for burial The negro bears none too good a repu. tation. being known under several | aliases to both the police and the coun. | ty authorities. Why he should have ! made the attempt upon the deputy'I
 life yesterday morning could not b' l explained. eatt
 Mir. Mccord was last night at hi. | position as night jailer at the county | jail none the worse for his experience l with the exception of a slight scratch
 upon his left hand made by the knife --------------

TRAILING ARBUTUS'.
BY Clement stOrsr Fostsr.


Many years ago. a young man. strong
OF limb. and filled with the vigor Of
youth, ventured, at this particular sea-
son. to find the first flowers Of Spring
The Brandywine was purling
stream; limpid in the sunshin eof a
beautiful March dav. Snow patches
meath the trees had. through vernal
influences, disappeared-addin their
resultant condition to the general run.
The sun-some distance below the
zenith-gleamed glad warmth on the
pussy willows. and put positive life
into the minnows darting about their
rock-imbedded habitat
All nature was aglow with the
quickening influence OF coming
warmth.
In a cuiet nooiS-shehered by banks.
built by It's own influence little
brook gurgled 70 the larger stream. At
this confluence the sweet scent Of a
spring flower forced its fragrance
through the ambient air.
Here the youth. with bounding.
braceful, quickening blood yielded to
hearts desire.
The beautiful waxen. sweet scented
arbutus. with the background OF its
homeiy leaves, appealed to him. and he
gathered much Of It.
That night he laid it in the lap OF
Gods lovellest being.
1t was many years ago; but the
sweet arbutus grows in the same spot.
A man walks the troubled way OF
life without the sweet companionshlp
Of one beloved beyond all measure.
II Is Gods way.

Employees Purchase Stock.

From Evening News. Fan River
Mass. Feb. 27. 190S.)
The National Biscuit Company, fol-
lowing the lead OF the Steel Trust, has
encouraged its employees to purchase
its stock. and Of its 1900 stockholders
2ss5 are employees. It appears by the
annual report dated January 81 Un1or
q plan allowing employees TO acquire
the preferred shares for which they
pay by installments. 1888 shares have
been secured. exclusive OF a very large
amount Of both common and preferred
stock held by the directors, officers and
principal managers. Such a plan Of
making the men who work for a cor
poration its part-owners. vitally inter-
ested in its prosperity. should have
beneficial results. How much of the
success Of the National Biscuit Com
pany is due 10 this partnership It Is
impossible TO tell, but II is not well ia
underestimate Il.
The company is ten years old. and
IN the period of its existence has In
creased its annual sales from $4,000
600 when it was started to nearly $40
100000 in 1907. Here is an interesting
paragraph from the report dealing with
this topic. which it gives us pleasure
TO reproduce:
"Our increase IN sales is not due ia
the fact that there is a less number
OF rival manufacturers Of biscuits than
there was in the first wear OF the exist
ence Of this company. On the con-
trary, the number has Increased. we
have frequently stated that the policy
OF this company was not TO buy ou.
competition. nor TO attempt. by a
ruinous war Of prices. to crush ehe
same, and to that policy we have
steadily adhered. We offer our goods
for sale at a fixed price and upon
