Dr.. Davis Entertains.

DR.. Joe Cabell Davis was host
to a small party of friends ut a
birthday dinner last Friday even
ing from 9 till IL. The spread
consisted of six courses and was
served in regal style. At the
conclusion Of the repast the even
ing was spent in pleasant social
intercourse while the guests in
dulged themselves in all the
pleasures to be found in the fra
grant Havana. Every feature of
the occasion was so delightful
that the guests were loath to de-
part, but each one went away ex-
pressing the conviction that their
genial host could not have been
happier, or more free, open
hearted or jovial in his hospitality
if the occasion had marked the
22nd. instead of the Send. an
niversary of his birth. Those
who enjoyed the hospitality of
DR.. Davis on this occasion were

VICTIM OF TYPHOID.

Peculiarly sad was the death of
Mr.. Henry Davis which occurred
at his home near Little Rock
Saturday night at IL o'clock.
The sad news was brought to
town Sunday morning and was
quite shock to MIR. Davis many
Dillon friends. The deceased had
been i'll about two weeks with ty-
phoid fever and was on the road
to recovery when he took a relapse
and expired before those in atten-
dance were scarcely aware of the
seriousness of his condition.
Since the death of his grand
mother, Mrs. Patsy Sherwood,
which occurred several months ago
Mr.. Davis had been living at the
old home place alone. When
stricken with the fever he was
given the best of medical attention
and nurse was provided to adj
minister to his wants, but despite
all the precautions that were
taken the disease got such a hold
upon him that at last his constitu-
tion had to yield to it's ravages.
He was most exemplary
young man. In disposition he
was modest and retiring, but
withal candid and firm in his deal
ings with his fellow-man. In
worldly affairs he was temperate
almost to excess, living quietly on
his farm and enjoying the fruits
of his labors in the free, OPEN
hearted, unostcntatious manner
that always manifested itself in
his associations with the world.
In Dillon where he was so well
liked he will be greatly mourned.
Of his Immediate family he is
survived by one brother, Mr.. r.
.. Davis, of Clio. his parents
having preceded him to the grave
many years ago.

NEW COUNTY SITUATION.

There have been no develop
ments in the New County situa-
ton since the last issue Of The
Herald. The situation is about
the same as that explained in last
weeks paper. The governor has
selected the surveyor who will
test the accuracy of Messrs.
Handy and Beatty's figures by
ru unning lines across the county
but it is not known when he will
begin work. On the other hand
Messrs. Handy and Beatty are
standing by their report and
feel con; dent that the new sur
vey will not reduce the area of
Marion to less than 900 square
miles. The New County advo-
Gates also have an abundance of
faith in the accuracy of the report
made by the official surveyors and
the general opinion is that an
other survey is but another move
of the opposition to gain time and
to establish grounds for a contest
in the supreme court. From
present indications it seems that
the fight will end in the supreme
court anyway for the reason that
the opposition would not be con-
tent with a report from the new
surveyor were it to show that
Messrs. Handy and Beatty were
right. and there is no reason to
believe the advocates of the New
County would quietly accept as
tina1 the report of the new sur
veyor were it to show that Messrs.
Handy and Beatty were wrong.
And so there the matter rests.
Anyway you look at the situation
there is every prospect of a legal
battle in the higher courts before
the question can be submitted to
the people. 1t reminds one of
of the editor who wrote of a de-
parted warrior as "A battle
Scared veteran" and when the
printer inserted an 20" in the
place of an 'a' in the word bat
tle' there were lots of lawsuits
and swearing before the matter
was ended. The New County
seems to be facing just such a
situation.

BULL MOOSE FOUGHT TO DEATH.
Horns Became lnterlocked and Animal,
Starved as Result.

Seattle, August "a story OF
a battle to the death between two
giant moose in the isolated regions
of the Kenai Peninsular, Alaska,
has come to light with many other
interesting stories in connection
with the exhibits in the Alaska
building at the Alaska-Ypkon-
Pacific exposition.
Two moose horns locked, to-
gether, the largest measuring 81
inches from tip to tip, tell the
story of the battle. 1t is evident
that the animals were engaged in
mortal combat and their horns
became interlocked. They were
unable to release themselves and
died together of starvation.
The skull and the horns were
found by one of the number of min
ing parties which visited that
country and were sent to the ex-
position as a curiosity.
There is another pair of locked
horns, only smaller in size, that
were found near Fairbanks. Alas

AGED Woman Suicides.

Mrs. Jno. A. Mcmillan, aged
about 70 years, committed suicide
at her home near Mullins last
week by taking carbolic acid.
Mrs. Mcmillan said she was not
feeling well and retired to her
room on the pretence of taking a
nap, telling her daughters not to
arouse her for dinner. Instead of
going to her own room she went
to company room and sometime
later she was found unconscious.
A messenger was sent to Mullins
for medical assistance, but a ply
sician could not be found and
Mrs. Mcmillan died without re-
gaining consciousness. No other
reason except i'll health could be
assigned for the rash act.

How Fire Hurts the Fields.

.! course, the greatest loss
sustained through the burning of
vegetable matter which should
DC mixed with the soil, is the loss
o: the humuS forming materials:
but The actua! loss III plant food
is also worthy of serious consid-
Grafton. The phosphorus and
potassium contained in the vege-
table matter are not DESTROYED by
burning, for these mineral plant
foods remain in the ashes:>~bGt
the nitrogen which our-soils need
'nost is driven off into the air and
lost.
We repeat that the greatest loss
is the destruction of the humus-
forming materials. but let us see
just what the loss of nitrogen
amounts to when 4 ton of crab
grass, brOOmScdGc, or cornStalks
is burned. If the material burn
cd be Japan clover or other legum-
cS, the loss of nitrogen is much
greater. n ton of crabgrass hay
contains about IS pounds of nj
tro%cn, and this is worth 20 cents
pound, which gives 1t value of
$40. n ton of crabgrass hay,
ard frequently much more than
Il ton of crabgraSs and other
materials equally rich in nitrogen
Is often burned off each acre.
That is, for each acre we burn
over We may easily destroy 81. 4C

soils need most.
We are slow to accept such
statements rs facts, because the

quantity of corn stover or crab

so, but the effects OF blowing un-

Augusta. Ga. Jan 6.-Thc presi-
dent-elect. who is a member Of the
national child labor law convention,
today listened to a report on general
conditions on child labor in the south
from A. j. McKelwaY. secretary Of the
committee for the southern states.
McKelway's conclusion was that the
child labor laws Of the Southern
states are we'll adapted to conditions,
but that their enforcement is lax.
National Chairman Frank II. Hitch
cock had an extended interview with
Mr.. Tart. John Hay Hammond is all
so here. Chauncey Dewey, of Chi
cago, is here to sec Mr.. Taft and Mr..
the two Taft delegates from hat state
and it is understood he has some po-
litical friend he wishes to intercede
for.
Mr.. Taft Will leave Atlanta after his
forthcoming visit on January l6, that
he may visit the Georgia state Uni
~versity at Athens on his return.
Mr.. Taft's excellence as a golf play
or was made the subject of defense
in a column editorial in a local paper
here. There was no doubt, it was as
serted. that he could defeat Mr.
Rockefeller on the Augusta links, not
w~ithstanding reports Of his numerous
recent defeats. Mr.. Rockefeller is eX-
pected here this week.

for practically all the photographers
