FRUIT GROWERS
In THE GAME
CULLEOKA ASSOCIATION WILL
HAVE MANY CARS ON THE
MARKET.

The Culleoka Cantaloupe and Fruit
Growers Association will again be in
the market this year with many car
loads of those sweet and luscious
cantaloupes which have made a name
for CuIleoka all over the country.
The crop last season was not as
productive as in the years before on
account of unfavorable weather condi-
tons. but it was sufficient to cause
the association to organize for another
season with the hope of lettering
things The acreage this year will be
an average one, and with favorable
conditions some thousands Of dollars
should be brought into the county
from shipments to the northern and
eastern markets.

FALSE ALARM
WAS SOUNDED
MIscAIEVoUs BOYS SHINE FORTH
IN ROLE OF TROUBLE
MAKERS.

A false alarm Of fire was turned in
Friday night from the, boz on Twelfth
street, presumably BY some mis-
chieVous boys and the Are department
was called out on a long and danger
Gus run.
The Herald has called attention on
previous occasions to the Law against
turning in a false alarm OF FIRE and to
the heavy penalty in case Of detection.
Every time the department is called
out it is an expense to the city and a
tar on the property holders. but this
is not the worse feature. These fast
runs to fires are dangerous to the lives
of the fremen and to the lives OF any
people who happen to be along the
line Of the run, and at the same time
there is danger of the fire equipment
being injured or destroyed.
The fire alarm boxes are placed
about the city for convenience In turn
ing alarms without delay and are
great protection to property. 1t Is
incumbent on property owners to pro-
tect as far as possible these boxes and
prevent false alarms being turned in.
They should use every possible means
TO detect the names of the parties
guilty of turning in alarms when there
are no fires. .

STAR RETURNS
HUGE LOAN
GERALDINE FARRAR PAYS BACK
$4,000 ADVANCED FOR HER
EDUCATION.

CHICAGO, April LIT developed
Sunday night through dispatches from
salem. Mass, and admissions made In
Chicago, that Geraldine Farrar, of the
grand opera company now in Chicago,
recently made the last payment OF a
loan of $4,000 advanced for her mu-
steal education.
The final installment which was
turned over few days ago to agents
of Mrs. Bertram Webb, of Salem, was
the last payment which Miss Farrar
obtained from Mrs. Webb ten years
ago.
Miss Farrar not only paid all the
loan of $4,000 and the sub-loan OF
1000, but insisted that five per cent.
interest be taken. When the loan was
made Miss Farrar was struggling
musical student who was described as
having a wonderful voice, but that she
would never become an opera star
seems to have been the idea among
number of her benefactors.
Miss Farrar gradually rose to high
place. The remainder of the $4,000
is said to have been given to the opera
star to tide her over critical periods
during her career.

BLACK HAND
AFTER PREACHER
NEW YORK MINISTER Is BADLY
FRIGHTENED BY THREATEN
ING MlSsIVE.

NEW YORK, April 19.-Followlng
the receipt of a Black Hand letter de-
handing $4,000, the Rev. Homer Tay-
lor, pastor of st. Paul's Episcopal
Church, Washington avenue and St.
PauIs place, the Bronx, disappeared
Sunday with his wife, after invoking
the aid of the police to run down the
blackmailers.
They returned from Atlantic City
and found under the parsonage door
a letter signed BLACK Hand" In
which the writer said that if $4,000
was not forthcoming the minister
would be assassinated and the church
dynamited.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Taylor got a
similar letter, but paid no attention
to it, and when he found the second
letter he became thoroughly alarmed,
hurried to the Bronx Detective Bureau
and reported the matter to Capt. Price.
He was commanded in the letter to
place the money under rock in front
of the Bronx Church House In One
Hundred and Seventy-first street at
10 o'clock Sunday night.
Capt. Price assured Mr.. Taylor
there was no need for alarm, but the
minister and his wife admitted they
were wrought up and feared that the
writer's would carry out the threats
made in the letter if the money was
not paid. It became known last night
that Mr.. Taylor and wife had left the
city and no one seemed TO know their
whereabouts.

The stores of the town, which faced
the blast in its first rage, were blown
in from the front, their roofs were
tern off bodily, and most of the $50

wandering over the empty prairies at
night, terror-stricken and without
homes.
The tornado struck the town with.

Short Distance Wireless.

A list Of wireless stations recently
compiled by the navy department at
Washington gives the total number as
7So. The ordinary employment Of this
method of communication has lifted
it to an assured position as a bust
ness adjunct. Long distance stunts
are not demanded by the public az
proof Of wireless p%racticability. Quail
ity Of service has improved. and q
steady development in the industry Is
reported.
This country takes high rank in COM
handing the wireless service for a
variety of short distance purposes.
One company has 277 stations on the
Atlantic coast. twenty-six on the Pa
cific and seven on the great lakes and
operates. besides. 1863 shipboard sta
lions. The government uses the sys-
TEN extensively on the %seacoasts and
on vessels Of all descriptions. In
many operations connected with the
sea wireless telegraphy is recognized
as a necessity. and recently a bill was
introduced in the national senate pro-
viGing that all passenger steamships
having a capacity Of fifty passengers
or more must be equipped with eff
Gent wireless apparatus. Wireless has
ceased to be a novelty, but its growth
in usefulness and favor is shown by
the installment Of circuit after circuit
with advantage to communities and ia
the nation.
