The showing made by Mr.. Eyer is
not an unusual one nor an extraordi-
nary one. Rather it is simple state
ment of the average returns to be ex-
pected from tract of similar size In
this valley under ordinary conditions.
Here is portion of Mr.. Eyer's state
ment:
What of the future?
This is a question that has come
into the mind of every fruit grower.
The question of over-production has
a tendency to frequently arise when
one reads of the many orchards plant
ed, especially in the irrigated sec
tions of the states west of the Rocky
mountains.
AT first glance 1t would seem as
though there might be some danger
along the line of too much fruit rails
ing. / remember travelling through
some of the rich farming states in
the east some years ago; and, as |
looked at the vast fields of corn and
wheat, and saw the large herds of
cattle and hogs, the question arose,
Where are all these to be consumed =?
Study the market reports and you
will find that. while production has
increased. consumption of the pro-
ducts has more than kept pace, while
prices have reached a higher point
than ever before. Fruit has become
a necessity rather than luxury, and,
by improved methods of handling and
proper distribution, the gap between
producer and consumer is being les
sened, so that the price is not too
low for the one nor too high for the
other. When this condition more full
ly obtains. all the good fruit that
may be produced in the future will
find a ready market
again, fruit growing has become
an industry of itself. Every farm in
the eastern states used to have from
to 10 acres of various kinds of fruit.
No one attempted to care for them,

SUSPECT FOUL PLAY.
Relatives of Mr.. Nat Anderson Have
Body Exhumed.

Greenwood, March 1.-THE body
of Mr.. Nat Anderson, who died sew
eral weeks ago, was exhumed yester-
day, the stomach taken out and sent
to chemist for examination. Ger
tain developments made the family
suspect that his death was not due
to natural causes. Mr.. Anderson was
a well-to-do farmer, living about five;
miles west of town. He was found
dead the Friday night before the
very cold weather in February. He
had left his house after dinner to so
and fix pasture fence. He did not
return and when searchers found
him he had been dead several hours.
The ground around his body was
torn up, indicating that he. had died
in a great struggle. The night Of
his death a cat at the house died in,
a peculiar manner and the next day
all the other cats there died very PEI
culiarly. The chemist selected was
recommended by Solicitor Sease. His
report will be made in few days. y

BLACKS WON'T GET PLUMs.
"Straight Tip" From President Taft
to That Effect.

Chicago, March 12.-"The passing
Of the professional Southern negro
politician as a federal of1ceholder by
right of color has been made an es-
sential feaure in the proposed poll
cies of President Taft says the
Tribune to-day, in a news article.
Hereafter Southern white Republi-
cans will receive the utmost consider
alton in filling big places of the
Federal service below the Mason and
Dixon line. The places which have
been allotted to the negro Republi-
can as a matter of custom will go to
Northern negroes rather than to the
Southern black men. "
News of this complete change in
administration policy has arrived in
Chicago directly from the White
House. The information was dis
closed in connection with the candi-
dacy of Col. John R. Marshall, COM
manding the Eighth infantry, Illi-
nois National Guards, the negro regi-
ment, for post of receiver of deeds of
the District of Columbia.
"Col. Marshall's candidacy has the
tentative backing of Senator Cullom,
and he is seeking the support Of the
Republican organization in Chicago
as a necessary step in taking up the
matter officially with President Taft
''The statement is made with au-
thority that Senator Cullom had dis
cussed the proposition with President
Taft and that the president disclosed
his views on the negro Republicans
to Senator Cullom as has been indi-
Gated"

MANILA'S WATER WORKS.
City Supplied From Protected Wa
ter.shed 40 Miles Square.

The Inauguration of Manila's. new
water supply marks the completion
Of project of great Importance to
the city. The new water supply is
taken from the Mariquina river, 20
miles northeast of Manila.
The watershed above the point of
diversion covers about 140 square
miles of mountain and forest and is
withdrawn from settlement. Private
property within this reservation will
be appropriated, and the entire dis
trict will be freed from human con-
tamination forever.
The reservoir is rectangular in
plan and measures 500 by 764 feet
and is 20 feet deep. It's capacity is
50,000,000 gallons. The water en-
ters through concrete-lined con-
duit four and one-half miles in
length, of which a small amount
lies near the surface of the ground
and was constructed in an open
ditch; the balance is in tunnel,
which at the deepest point is 180
feet below the surface of the ground.
At frequent intervals along the
conduit are inclined shafts with
steps for entering the tunnel to in
spect, clean or repair. At one point
the conduit sinks under the bed of
the Dulutan river, and at another it
is carried across stream by six
ty-foot concrete-arch bridge.
The water is carried from the
head-works to the tunnels by means
of a riveted steel pipe line forty-two
inches in diameter and ten and one
half miles long. The pipe is carried
under the Mariquina river, but this
section, in place of steel, is of cast
iron. Most of the other streams are
crossed by means of concrete
bridges; but at two points the pipe
is carried across by steel truss
bridges, where the width of the
stream is too great for concrete.
The dam is 400 feet long on the
crest and about eighty-fve feet in
extreme height. It is built of cy-
clopean masonry, or concrete in
which large stones are embedded.
Behind the dam will be storage
basin which will serve the city dur
ing the dry months when the dis
charge of the river is less than that
necessary for the supply.
The cost of the completed work is
about s1,500,00O as far as the De-
posito, and the distribution system
to be installed throughout the city
will cost 100000 more.
The new system supplies 22,500,-
900 gallons of water each twenty
four hours-enough to give every
man, woman and child in the city
100 gallons a day.

NO RACE SUICIDE.
Zion Hill Negro Was Father of Fifty
Two Children.

Hampton Ferguson, colored, the
father of more children than perhaps
any man in the State, died at his
home, near Zion Hill! yesterday at
the age of about 80 years. The de-
ceased was married four times and
was the father of 50 legitimate chill
dren.
A son of the deceased came to
Spartanburg yesterday and purchas-
ed a casket. He spoke with great
pride of the magnitude of his faith
er's family. He declared that his
father had been married four times
and 50 children had been born to
him and that these were scattered
in all directions of the State. Many
of them, he said, had children and
grandchildren. The negro said he
had never seen many of his brothers
and sisters for they had moved
away before he was born.-Spartan-
burg Journal.

Negroes Trial Delayed.

Greenville, March 13.-John Ter
rell and Jim Lewis, the two negroes
who were arrested this week on a
charge of wrecking train No. 35,
near Harbin's several weeks ago,
will not Be tried at the present term
of the court of general sessions at
Walhalla. When the case was call
ed the attorney for the negroes de-
INJURED on a technicality in the
wording of the Indictment.
Both of the defendants have been
released on bail in the sum of ST.
900 each, the bail to be furnished
by not less than two or more than
five. The case will come up at the
next term of the court of general
sessions at Walhalla.
The railroad officials have worked
up a srong case against the negroes,
it is said, and feel confident that
they have the right men. The case
was worked up by Special Agents
James Alton and Inspector H. B.
Earle, and will be handled by them.
John Terrell was arrested on
Wednesday morning by Sheriff Kay
and Special Agent Alton near his
home. Jim Lewis had gone to Geor-
gia and Sheriff Kay arrested him on
Thursday morning. Both negroes
deny that they had anything to do
with the wrecking of the train.
AS is remembered, Engineer
O'Neal lost his life in this wreck
near Harbin's. He was he engineer
on No. 35. The train was wrecked
by bolt being out and when No.
35 came along it was wrecked.
1t is supposed that the negroes
will be tried for murder Arthur Ag-
new, the negro who wrecked a pas
senger train near Duncan's last fall,
was given a life sentence for his
deed, having been tried for murder,
as Engineer Fonville lost his life in
the wreck.

State Treasurer Short.

Salt Lake, Utah, March 81
James H. Christianson, former State
treasurer of Utah, is under arrest, a
self-confessed embezzler of over
$4,000 from the State treasury.
Mr. Christianson spent the night. at
the Hotel Cullen, in the custody Of
a deputy sheriff. An attempt is be-
ing made to secure bondsmen for
him to-day.
A clumsy attempt to tamper with
the books in the State auditors Of
flee led to the discovery of the en-
bezzlement. Christianson was Out
of the State at the time, but upon
the word of friend he hurried back
to Salt Lake. He gave himself into
custody shortly after arriving here
and followed that shortly afterwards
with a confession of guilt. Chris
tianson's bondsmen will make good
the amount of the shortage.

ham county, was burned to death
and number of other inmates more
or less seriously injured. Four wo-
men jumped from second story win
dows and escaped alive, one Of them
having an arm broken. The most
miraculous escape was that of the
infant of DR.. Biggs, proprietor of the
sanitarium, which, though thrown
from a second story window, escaped

WIFE SHOT HUSBAND.
Had Family Quarrel Over Punish
ment of q Child.

Elloree, March 12:-Frank A.
Shuler was shot and fatally wound
ed at his home, about seven miles
from this place, last evening between
sundown and dark by his wife, Fan
ME G. Shuler. Reports received this
morning were that the wounded
man was not yet dead, but that there
was no hope for his recovery what
ever. The shooting was result of a
family quarrel.
Shuler, who owns very nice
farm about seven miles from here,
had been in Elloree yesterday after
noon and returned to his home late
in the evening. When he arrived
home, it is stated that his wife was
whipping one of the children. The
husband interfered, and the wife
said that she would whip him. This
he said she would not attempt, and it
is stated that he picked up piece OF
iron. Then it was that Mrs. Shuler
ran into the house, supposedly to get
a pistol, which it is alleged he'd been
done before, and as Shuler entered
his wife opened fire on him, the ball
taking effect just below the heart.
The ball passed entirely through the
mans body and came out just at the
left of his spine. DR.. A. w. Brown
ing was summoned, and according to
the report received from him, it will
be impossible for the wounded man
to recover from the wound.
1t is stated that the wife charges
the husband with coming home in
toxicated yesterday afternoon, but it
was also stated that he was seen in
Elloree just before leaving for his
home, and that he did not appear to
be under the influence of liquor at
that time.
Shuler is a man of about so years
of age, and was pretty well fixed.
He was a member of the Woodmen
of the World, and it is said that his
policy in this order had been re-
Gently changed from his wife in ia
vor of his children. He also init
mated that he desired his farm to
go to them also, and therefore, he
has made no provision for his wife,
so it is stated.
One son was a student at the Or
angeburg Collegiate Institute in this
city and he left this morning for his
home.-Orangeburg Evening News.

Race Conflict Ayerted.

Arlington, Ca, March 12.-The
prompt action and determined man
ner of Chief of Police Ray prevented
a serious clash between whites and
blacks near here late last night,
brought about by an injury inflicted
upon John Price, a we'll known citi-
zen of Edison, Ca, who was shot by
Will Wakefield, a negro. The negro
received reinforcements and band
of SO negroes were in the act of at
tacking citizens who went to Prices
aid, when Officer Ray arrived and
stopped the disorder by the arrest of
Wakefield and the leaders. The white
men and negroes alike were heavily
armed.

Big FIRE IN SPARTANBURG
HALF THE CLEVELAND BUILD
s. ING COMPLETELY GUTTED.
Five Firemen and One Woford Stu
q dent mjured-Insurance About
$45,OOO-Origin Unknown.

Spartanburg, March I12.-Prop-
eFty valued at $65,000 was destroyed
here tonight by a fire in the very
center of the business section of the
city, when half of the Cleveland
building, at east Main and south
Church streets was completely gutted
and other portions of it considerably
damaged.
The Harry Price clothing firm lost
q stock of goods valued at $4,000,
and R. L. Bowden, the oldest dry
goods merchant in the city, sustained
loss estimated at $20,000, while
the loss on the building will probably
exceed $4,000. The building is
owned by ]. B. and j. F. Cleveland
and is fully insured. Insurance so
far reported covers only about half
the value of the stocks burned.
In the course of the fire five fire
men and one Wofford College student
were injured by falling walls.
The injured: w. D. Mitchell, as
sistant chief, arm and hand mashed;
C. L. Stevens, scalp wound; Sam
Wyatt, left arm crushed; James Ell
der, head cut; D. L. Warner, left
hand burned; Carolus Mosely, stu
dent from Laurens, rendered uncon-
scious. Mosely is at the city hos
pital, where he is said to be regain
ing consciousness.
Besides the damage to firms burn
ed out there will evidently be con-
siderable loss to the Office holders in
the building, whose property was de-
stroyed.
The threatening character of the
flames caused many firms to move
their stocks from buildings in the
block.
,Hhe flames we're checked by a
double fire wall between the Cleve-
land building and the Bank of Spar
tanburg and the bank thus escaped
destruction. A drizzling rain, which
fell during the evening, doubtless
had much to do with the failure of
the flames to spread to other portions
of the city.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but the theory is advanced that it
was caused by an explosion of gaso-
line in the rooms of pressing club
in the rear of Prices store.
This is the greatest fire loss Spar
tanburg has sustained in many years.

Rock Hill, March 14.-Joe Lowry,

from town late in the evening and
there was fuss started, when both

ed and she was killed.
