Special Policeman Killian, who has
been detailed to superintend a force
OF men who are cleaning up alleys and
back yards in payment of fines had
novel experience yesterday and one
which called for quick decision as
10 what TO do in the emergency.
Killian and his men were in an alley
picking up tin cans, empty bottles and
other rubbish which had accumulated
when one Of his men took a sudden
notion to leave; in fact, the first inti-
nation Killian had Of the intent was
when he saw the man take to his
heels; the first impulse was to follow
him, but at that moment he happened
to think that IL he did SO the four
others then in his charge would get
away.--and he let the one go.

A TRAGEDY
AT DUNCAN

Duncan okla, July 20.-Late yester-
day afternoon people who were as
sembled at the postoffice in this city
were Mortified at what appeared to be
brutal murder, one man shooting
the other three times while the latter
begged for his life
The man killed was a contractor in
the street paving which is being done
here, while the other was laborer.
However. the trouble was not because
OF any labor difficulty, but over fam
lily matters. 1t is said that the two
men walked up the street together and,
in fact, stopped and took cold drinks
together at a drug store on the way.
When they reached the pcstoffice the
man who did the shooting was heard
to say to the other that he had heard
that he had been making unfavorable
comment about his wife and after this
but few words were passed until the
shooting took place.
SO qdickly did the unfortunate af-
fair occur that bystanders had no time
to Interfere.

immense proportions to which this
enc industry has grown, it would re-
quire $500 cars, making a train sixty
five miles long and requiring 232 en-
gineS to haul the ten years output; if
end to end they would make a
continuous line of strawberry crates
663 miles long, long enough to reach
from Chadbourn to Boston, or to Jack
sonville, Florida, and return. h
growth of this one product has been
confined almost entirely to a practi-
Cally small section of the country, 80
per cent of them being grown within
fifteen miles of the town of Chad
The growth of his industry
has been perhaps a little greater than
the other agricultural products, but
can be taken as an index of the rapid
agricultural development of the coun-
ty. Statistics on this n item are
more complete than any other.
Ten years ago there was not a
banking institution of any kind within
the county. Today we have six banks
with combined of about
100000. The volume Of business in
the country has increased 500 per
cent in ten years. S~eventy-ive per
cent. of his increase is due to the
rapid development Of agriculture, as
the manufacturing interests have not
increased in proportion to the agr1-
cultural development. Unfortunately
we haven't a cotton mill in the coun-
ty. and these figures are quoted in
detail for the purpose of showing the
rapid agricultural development.
So many figures have been quoted.

and like all other farm people, our
citizens have not been diversifytng
their crops as much as they should.
and have made the strawberry or
trucking crops the leading ones. This
is decidedly a mistake in view of the
fact that all of the staple crops can
be grown here successfully. Our best
farms are producing from SO to 100
bushels of corn and oats per acre.
Wheat will yield from 20 to 40
bushels per acre and from two to
| three tons Of hay.
Cotton from one two bales per acre;
Tobacco from 900 to 1900 pounds;
Sweet potatoes, 200 to 400 bushels:
Irish potatoes, SO to rs barrels for
| the first crop, and 40 to 50 for the
second crop. These are all staple
crops, and can be produced, and
! should be grown to a higher state Of
perfection than they have been in the
past. The figures given are above
the average yield but are quoted to
show what the lands of Columbus
county are capable of producing with
intelligent farming. A numbe of III
farmers are producing a bale Of cot
ton to the acre, and some one and
one-haIf on their entire crop. [ know
of one farmer who will not get less
than one bale per acre on 40 acres.
Going back to the production Of
strawberries, fruit and other truck
crops, it is nothing uncommon TO grow
from 100 to 800 bushels crates of
Strawberries, valued at from $50 to
$500 per acre.
Columbus county is practically the
home Of the scuppernong grape,
where they grow with little if any
cultivation or attention., and will yield
from 400 to 800 bushe per acre. The
usual value is about IS cents per
bushel.
Figs and dewberries grow to perfec-
ton. and all varieties of bunch grapes,
apples. pears and peaches can be
profitably grown.
These figures are interesting, but
if is to be regretted that only 10 per
cent. Of the tillable land of our coun-
tv is under cultivation. Our greatest
need is. first, more practical and in
telligent farming by systematic rOta-
ton and diversifying of crops more
