men Had Taken Refuge.

Valdosta, Ga, June 19.-News was
received here to-day Of a dangerous
prank played about midnight last
night on the Withlacoochee River,

Lightning struck the wires running

struck the men, who were huddled
closely together. Only two were un-
injured. One of the nine, a negro,
was fatally hurt.
The nine who were injured were
all stunned, all of them being badly
burned and blistered, some of them
having places on their skin torn as
If 1t had been ripped by a knife held
beneath it.
a watch chain worn by one Of the
men was melted, but his watch was
unhurt. The trousers of another
were ripped from waistband to hem.
The tacks in another's shoes were
drawn and another's shirt was torn
to shreds. The bolt shattered tele-
graph poles before striking the men
In the tower house. Two of the men
were so badly injured that surgeons
We're called to attend them.

Individual Watermelons,

A Washington dispatch is author
ity for the statement that individual
watermelons, about the size of a
cantaloupe, Of delicious flavor, in
color red and yellow, which can be
grown In any section of the country,
have been introduced through the
Department Of Agriculture by Horace
G. Knowles, former American minis
ter to Roumania, who discovered them
In the foothills of the Carpathian
mountains in Roumania.
For use in hotels, restaurants,
clubs, on dining cars and elsewhere,
the new arrival will fill a long-felt
want. Extensive experiments have
been made by the department
through its numerous stations,
which prove that climatic conditions,
soil, etc, in practically all parts of
this country are adapted to the
growth of the melon.
This season a large quantity are
being raised by the government for
the purpose of seed propagation and
for the introduction to the public.

or Interest to Farmers and Me-
chanipc.

Farmers and mechanics frequently
meet with slight accidents and inju-
ries which cause them much annoy
ance and loss of time. A cut or
bruise may be cured in about one
third of the time usually required by
applying Chamberlain's Liniment as
soon as the injury Is received. This
liniment is also valuable for sprains,
soreness of the muscles and rheumat
ic pains. There Is no danger Of blood
poisoning resulting from an injury
when Chamberlain Liniment is ap-
piled before the parts become inflam-
ed and swollen. For sale by j. w.

"THE LUCKY BAG"
A Volume that Embraces Elegance
and Excellence of Printing Art.

We have before us a handsome
copy of The Lucky Bag" the an
nual published by the graduating
class of the United States Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Md. On the
staff of this admirable and much ad-
mired volume we find that "The New
South" Is well represented, the staff
being composed as follows: Editor
in-chief, j. w. Quillian, Georgia; p.
l.. Carroll, business manager, Louisi-
ana; A. A. Merrick (Bub), assist
ant business manager, South Caro-
lima, (Walhalla); art editors, E. s..
r. Brandt, New Jersey; s. r. Canine,
Texas. The remainder of the staff
includes ten men-Kansas 1, Geor-
gia 1, Pennsylvania 1, Missouri /,
Iowa L, Ohio 2, Washington l, In
diana /, District of Columbia 1. The
South is represented by five on the
stan out of total of fifteen.
The sketches contained between
the covers of this novel publication,
the 1909 edition of which, though
limited to few hundred copies, cost
in excess of $4,000, are amusing and
interesting, and the volume will be
handed down to future generations
with pride by those comprising the
graduating class Of this great institu-
ton.
We reproduce here the sketch of
Walhalla's representative:

Walhalla, South Carolina.
"Bub."
My often ru animation wraps me
in a most humorous sadness. -
Shakespeare.
An indolent, sorrowful looking
man who manages to get just about
three times as much pleasure out of
THE routine life at the Academy as
any Of the rest of us. His sad Wis
age, quiet speech and slow manner
isms seem to suggest disappoint-
ments which happened long before
we young fellows were born. But
don't Judge too quickly; this Is nei-
ther an object of sympathy nor a
student of theology, but clever, in
teresting chap-bright as a dollar
who ambles around disguised as a
funeral for the purpose of LA pou-
DIRE aux yewX." A man Of unusual
experiences, who tells just enough
of the wonderful things which have
happened to him to arouse our curl
osity over hosts of hidden escapades.
Shows his ingenuity in the fussing
line by making his rendezvous just
on the other side of the Executive
Mansion, so that he can do his wait
Ing in the little room where the two
ducks hang. So devoted Is he to
the business interests of this book
that the jingle Of Lucky Bag" dol
lars has been music to his ears
How often have we seen him,
seated on the last four vertebrae,
feet stretched out, cigarette in hand
the look of "miles away" on his face
"a picture of absolute repose
The less ] have to do, the less |
want to do"

How to Raise
More Cotton
and Corn
per Acre.

This can easily and profitab1y
be done by using Fertilizers as
a side application.
For corn use 800 pounds of
Piedmont Guano per acre when
the corn is knee high, and when
you wish to use nitrate of soda,
make an application Of 100
pounds per acre at laying by
time.
For cotton use a side app1i-
cation of 800 pounds of Pied
mont Guano per acre, just about
the time it starts to blooming,
and when nitrate of soda Is
wanted use as in the corn.
If you decide to try this be
sure to try our Piedmont Guano.
1t will do the work.
We will continue to buy cot
tor seed through this month at
IT." highest market price. Be
sure to bring them in by the
first Of June.
