1.-THE SOUTHERN FIELD"
August Issue of Official Organ of the
Southern Railway Out.

A comprehensive picture Of the ad-
vantages to be found in the fruit
growing sections of the southeastern
states is presented in the August is
sue of The Southern Field the
official organ of the Land and Indus
trial Department of the Southern
Railway and associated lines, the cir
culation of which will begin in a
few days. The leading article of
this issue is devoted to a discussion
of fruit growing in Virginia, the
Carolinias, Georgia, Alabama, Ten
nessee and Mississippi. The story
of the development Of the growing
of apples, peaches, berries and small
fruits in this territory is fully told
and the opportunities for future de-
velopment pointed out.
The farmer interested in fruit
growing who -eads this issue can
not fail to be impressed with the
great opportunities which await him
in the Southeast In addition to the
article on fruit growing which is
splendidly illustrated there are other
interesting articles. Editorials call
attention to the opportunities for
profit in stock raising in the South,
the value of the cotton crop to the
country, and the increase in value
of Southern lands. What can be
done in the East Tennessee country
is shown in an article on pork rails
ing. "a Spartanburg Farmer tells
OF results on a farm in the Piedmont
section, and the success of Canadians
in Northeast Georgia is told in an
interesting manner.
Thousands of copies of this maga-
zine will be put in the hands of far
mers in the North ant Northwest
who are considered desirable set
tiers. Persons already in the South
who have friends living in other sec
tions Of the country whom they wish
to interest in this section can have

RURAL DELIVERY IN DANGER.
Movement TO Abolish it for the Old
Star Routes.

The R. F. D. News, published at
Washington as the national organ Of
the Rural Letter Carriers Associa-
ton, sounds an alarm In these
terms. Right now preliminary plans
are being made to abolish rural free
delivery service and provide in ita
stead daily delivery to the farmer
by what is known as the star-route,
or cantract system. This plan has
been the subject Of serious consider
alton by thePostmaster General for
more than six or eight months past
and he hopes to be able to furnish
President Taft vii ample reasons for
the change before the latter sends
his annual message to Congress next
Septem Der. 1t is the belief OF many
postal officials that President Taft
will readily approve Of the suggest
ion OF the Postmaster General in the
matter, and for the sake Of eCon-
omy, make recommendation to
Congress to enact the necessary laws
for the change. Already Postmaster
General Hitchcock has consolidated
the division of star-mail routes and
division of rural free delivery into
what will hereafter be known as the
division Of rural mails This Is the
first step toward making the two SER
vices similar"

MAKE BIG CORN CROP.
Ten Thousand Bushels on One Hun
dred Acres.

A dispatch from Columbia to the
Augusta Chronicle says that farm
ing pays in South Carolina with the
proper fertilization and cultivation
is shown by the fact that 10000
bushels of corn will be produced on
100 acres of the asylum farm this
year. This is the indications now
and the prediction will no doubt be
over exceeded provided the seasons
prove just right.
The field OF corn on the asylum
farm is one of the most beautiful in
the State and is attracting much at
tention. Some of the land shows
over $4,000 stalks to the acre. The
great crop is being produced under
the management of Capt. ]. w.
Bunch, the treasurer of the asylum.
1t was thought at the first that the
field had been planted too thick.
The success Of the corn is attributed
by Capt. Bunch to deep ploughins.

Durham nursed a grudge against
Capt. sampsell OF the fire depart
ment, under whom he had formerly
worked as engine driver, and upon
whose complaint ne had been dis
charged from the services for lnsuD-
ordination. Durham Monday morn
ing sent in a false alarm from the
outskirts of the city, and when Capf
Sampsell and the engine crew drove
up he opened fire upon his former
workmen with a revolver.
At the first shot Fireman Don
Grant fell from his seat dead. with
a bullet in the head. At the second
shot Horseman Guy Elliott pitched
to the ground with a bullet through
the stomach. Durham then leveilea
his revolver at sampsell and fred

Two more shots fired at other
members of the crew went wild.
Durham then drew another revol-

driven up in answer to the ire
alarm. AS he disappeared in The
darkness, Durham, shouted back to
the chief: Tell my wife l am 60

The victims of the shooting were
rushed to st. Jcseph's hospital in
one of the hose wagons. Operations
were performed on Sampsell and FL

A GREAT SUCCESS
FIVE MEN RELEASED FROM CITY
JAIL ARE CURED.
Result Of the Move to Give Pauper
lnebriates Fee Treatment Was
Satisfactory.

Satisfactory.

who have been taking the Mckanna
Three Day Liquor cure fur.ish-d
free by the city of Columbia, have
been pronounced cured of the drink
disease and will be let out of the
ward, where they have been since
last Thursday.
The men were sentenced to a
term in the city Jail on the charge
of drunk and disorderly. Mayor w.
H. Gibbes will grant pardon to
each of them and they will not be
required to serve the remainder Of
their sentences.
AS soon as they vacate the ward,
three men, now in the city jail on
like charges, will be taken out and
given the treatment.
The FIVE men who will be releas-
ed took sheir last drink of whiskey
Friday afternoon. Ever since then
they have refused to taste it, al
though it has been constantly offer
ed to them. To allay any suspicion
that the whiskey might be "doped, T.
new bottle was gotten sealed
from the dispensary. But they re-
fused to drink this also. Beer has
been kept on ice in the ward, where
the men could get at it whenever
they wanted it, but since Friday af-
ternoon they have net touched

key for personal use was liable to be
seized. The ruling by the Attorney

Near Causing a Riot.

Elizabeth City, N. c., was the
scene Of a sensational affair on last
Sunday night In which an editor and
preacher participated. Stand
back or l will shoot TO kill" were
the words said by w o. Saunders.
editor OF The Independent, as ne
stood in his yard with a pistol after
firing FIVE times in the air. This
vas said to have occurred Sunday
night, following the close of service
at Blackwell Memorial Baptist
church when Pastor I. n Loftin had
preached upon The Independent,
the Ring Around it, aad W. o. ,Sauli-
ders." At the morning service Mr..
Loftin had preached on sensational
subjects dealing principally with
Saunders and his paper.
Many reports are in circulation:
and it is impossible to get accurate:
information. Saunders was present.
at both services. AS he left church.
that night and started toward his
home many people were on the
streets returning home. One re-
port had it that several of Saunders
bitterest enemies followed him and
when he. had gotten inside the yard
yelled out some threats about giving
him certain time to get out Of
town.
Immediately five or seven shots
rang out and Saunders ordered his
alleged pursuers to keep back. Wo-
men and children were panic-strick-
en- and rushed to cover, some faint
ing, and the greatest excitement pre-
vailed. Some claim that Saunders
was shot at by some party on the
street. However, no one was hit
and the police soon disperced what
little crowd was left after the shoot
ing. Saunders was next morning
arrested for carrying a concealed
weapon.
%. w. Gilbert, proprietor of a big
department store and brother-in-law.
of L'oftin, was arrested on the same
charge, together with some five or
six others for following Saunders
with intent to assault and disturb
the peace. They were bound over
to trial justice court Tuesday morn
ing.
The unfortunate fall-out between
Saunders and Pastor Loftin is said
to have come from Saunders con-
tinued bitter attacks on Loftin OH
account OF certain seduction case.
some months ago in court. A lady
Of the city was brought into dispute.
and it narrowed down to the yerac--
lily of either the lady or the pastor.
The 'deacons Of Blackwell Memorial
sustained Pastor Loftin and expell-
led the lady. Saunders went at this
action with unheard of editorials,
giving Loftin unfavorable notoriety.
Pastor Loftin decided to preach
upon the great evil that Saunders
and his paper were to Elizabeth City
and crowds gathered from every sec
tion of the city and even from the
county to hear his arraignment.
Printed circulars were distributed all
over the city Saturday and the SEN
sational subjects were the source Of
much comment. Many citizens free
ly predicted that bloodshed or at
least trouble would result. The un-
fortunate trouble is deeply deplored
by all citizens and 1t is hoped that
the law will be allowed to take its
course.
