The hve-room residence Of B. +.
Mayors, in East Hickman Addition,
was totally destroyed by fire yester-
day morning about 10 O'Clock. to-
gether with large part Of the con-
tents. The fire was first noticed by
neighbors, a small blaze coming
through the roof over the sitting
room, supposed TO have started from
a defective fue.
An alarm was turned in, but
owing 10 the fact this property is
outside the city limits, no water
could be had, and the building was
at the mercy of the flames.
Part Of the furniture was saved.
but the loss on this item will amount
TO more than the IN surance-$300.
Mr.. Mayors also carried $500 on
the building, but will lose about $500
or $500 on it.
Mr.. Mayors will rebuild in a short
time.

J. W. Cowgirl. President.

The new Steamer H. W. Buttorff,
put in commission by the Wholesale
merchants, of Memphis, put into
port at Hickman last week on her
initial trip. This boat will run
from Memphis to Cairo, weekly.
She is In charge of CAPT. Jesse
Irwin. for many years in the Lee
Line service, who is an experienced
river man. The Buttorff line is the
result of alleged high rates the Lee
Line is charging, which the whole
sale men of Memphis clai ms was de-
trimental to their business. And
this theory is plausible. since the
Lee Line has had a monopoly OF the
river business between these points
for some time. Evan Faris is the
agent at this place for the new line.

A Salt Farm.

One of the strangest farms in the
world Is situated in Southern Cali
fornia, 265 feet below the level Of
the sea. The place Is known as
Salton. II is salt farm of about
| 900 acres. Here the salt lies as
deposited by nature. from six to
sixteen inches in depth. The salt
farmers are busy harvesting this
crop the year round. and although
the harves, has continued for over
twenty years. during which time
more than 10000 tons Of salt have
been harvested, only ten OF the 900
acres OF the farm have been worked.
The salt is first plowed up into fur
rows II is then thrown into conical
piles by men with barrows, after
which il is taken to the reduction
works near by. and put into market
able condition. The work is done
by Mexicans and Chinese, the in
tense heat being more than Ameri'
cans can endure.

Farmers May Pool.

The court of appeals at Frankfort.
today. construed the pooling act as
passed by the 1906 general assembly
to mean that farmers may pool crops
to obtain higher prices but manu-
facturers, trusts and combines may
not unite to enhance the price of
their products beyond its real value.
The case at issue was the COM
monwealth against the International
Harvester Company on appeal from
Hardin circuit court. The lower
court sustained the demurrer to the
indictment brought against the har-
vester company on the ground that
the indictment failed to state that
the harvester company had enhanced
the value of the machinery above its
real value.
The defense Of the company was
that the antitrust act of 1890 was
repealed by the act of 1900. The
two acts we're not in conflict, but the
company goes free on the construc-
ton of the indictment.

Aged Lady Dies at Cayce.

Mrs. Emma Johnson, one of the
pioneers Of Fulton county, died at
the home Of her son, Heschell John.
son, last Saturday.
Deceased was ninety-two years of
age, and had resided in this section
the greater part of her life. For
many months she had been In de-
clining health. largely due to the
infrmities of her advanced age. and
her death was hardly unexpected.
As one of the oldest residents,
Mrs. Johnson was known to number
Of our people. Her life was an ex-
ample of noble Christian womanhood,
! therefore needs no eulogy in this
instance.
Funeral services we're held at the
home Of Herschell Johnson Sunday
afternoon, burial taking place at the
family cemetery, at the old home
place two miles west of Cayce.
The last sad rites we're attended by
large concource of friends and
relatives. among whom we're great
grandchildren.
Whether there are other children
besides Arthur Johnson, of Paducah.
and Herschell Johnson, Of Cayce,
We do not know. Herschell will be
remembered by most of the people
of Fulton county as having made the
race for sheriff in the recent cam
paign.
The Courier extends sympathy to
the many relatives.
