The New Corn State.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun.
At Columbia, S. c., there was
recently held a corn show the
like Of which has never been
seen outside the corn belt Of the
West. Much has been done dur
ing the last few years to encour-
age the people of the South to
raise corn, and they have been
taught the best methods of
scientific agriculture, with the
result that they have succeeded
in producing record breaking
crops on land heretofore sup
posed to be Of rather poor quail
ty as corn land. This new era
Of corn growing will be Of in
estimable value to South Caro-
lima, and to such other Southern
States as adopt it as well. The
South has hitherto been consid-
cred so wholly a one crop-sec-
ton, and the pesple have given
themselves over with such unar =
unity to the production Of cotton,
that the cost of corn has each
year been many millions Of dol
lars more than it should have
been by reason Of the fact that
most Of the provender for stock
as we'll as for food for the peo-
pie has been shipped in from
other States. To cure this fault
and cause the people to raise
their own grain and food stuffs
is the object Of the present corn
movement, and it is gratifying
to note that the people are
catching on TO" the benefits tc
be secured from it to such an ex-
! tent that the problem Of profit
able farming in the South seems
destined for early solution. For
when South Carolina, hitherto
c }nsiC cred the most conservative
Of Southern States, shows such
eager progress along new lines
Of agriculture it may be easily
believed that other States will
soon follow her lead. In thi!
way the South will soon again
become what it once was-wha
nature intended it to beth
garden spot Of this continent.

Japan has a police force modelled
after the French system. In various
places throughout Tokyo there are
small kabancho, which resemble sen
try boxes, but are larger. Three men
are attached to each box daily. One
remains inside resting, while another
stands at the door, and the third pa
trolls a beat, returning at regular in
teryals to the box Stations are
changed every eight hours. After
tWenty-fOur hours work the three Off
GERS are given the same length OF time
to rest. and three other men are sent to
the box. During their off days the
men are employed in taking census re-
turns, making reports regarding the
condition of streets, bridges. embank-
ments, drains and cemeteries. They
also report weddings, births. deaths,
theatrical performances and the pres
ence of suspicious persons.-Harper $

The State is now being flooded

they have the assured at their

There is no doubt but that in a
large number of cases the officers

ance for their companies in un-
licensed companies lay themselves
liable personally. not only for the
taxes evaded, but for the per-
Torrance of the contracts, and
besides are indictable, as they
are by law the agent of the un-

How can our citizens afford to

cal attention as seemed necessary, but Buker's system was so thoroughly sat urated with alcohol that he could not recover from the effects and he died some time during the night.
 From his appearance, he died while asleep, as his features bore no indica- tions of suffering, prior to his death.
 Buker was brother-in-law of Jack Leonard, one of the proprietors of the Champion bar. He had worked in this city for many years and was employed at the St. Elmo when he gave way to his last period of excessive drinking.
 It is said by friends of the dead man that he has been subject to periodical alcoholic 'excesses and that on previous occasions he ~had narrowly escaped death from heart failure.
 Funeral arrangements will probably be made today.

KILLING OF INDIANS AT SPRING CREEK
 OVERDRAWN
False Report Became Circu. lated by Misunderstood
 ing of Redskins

Although there was serious cutting affray in the Spring Creek district a week ago and shooting affray took place in that district Wednesday, neith- CT of these affairs resulted in any fatal ities, according to information brought from Payson yesterday by District At tOrney G. w. Shute.
 The report from Payson of the brutal murder of two Indians by Tom Han sen, came as the result of the misin- depreciation of stories of the affair. told by Indians who reported the cutting af fray to the officers at Payson.
 District Attorney Shute is of the opinion that what the Indians really meant to say regarding the fight was that two men supposed to have been killed were only badly injured, but that as the result of their limited vocabu- lary, they gave rise to the impression that two fatalities had resulted.
 Another tulapai fight occurred Wed nesday, in which all of the available ammunition of the redskins was shot up, without any fatalities, probably be- cause the redskins were too drunk to shoot straight
 Sheriff Thompson and Deputy Bud Armer are now in the Spring Creek dis trict, investigating the numerous fights, and some of the ringleaders in the various fights will be arrested and brought to Globe.
 Sheriff Thompson will probably not arrive here before Monday as it is his intention to break up the band of tu- lapai makers if possible and as the re- suit, he will hardly be able to leave PaysOn before tomorrow.
 District Attorney Shute confirms the printed reports of the shooting of Jack Lane by Supervisor Colcord and the complete exoneration of that official by the coroner's jury.

LAND GRABBERS IN
 W|NKELMAN
Gang of Professional Jump. CTS Making Trouble for
 Homesteaders

After spending few days in Wrinkle man, looking into public affairs in that camp and endeavoring to straighten out several tangles over properety, Under sheriff Frank Haynes returned to this city late Thursday night.
 Haynes found conditions in Wrinkle man fairly good, with the exception of an incipient feud between a number of professional land jumpers and the men whose land and claims had been confs- .cated.
 "As far as could learn, practical ly all of the trouble in Winkleman of late has been caused by one gang of men, who have all the earmarks of pro fessional jumpers, " said Haynes yester- day.
 "A man named Prewett and another known as Tex, as well as others whose names l did not learn, are openly ac- cused of jumping any land which they think they have the slightest chance to secure.
 ''I was informed that in one ease, after two men had purchased q piece of land from a Mexican and paid $400 in cash for it, that Prewett and Tex forcibly took possession of the land, moved the Improvements, a shack and a leanto tent, into the street and stuck their own location notices on the property.
 "They were still in possession of the land when l left and the owners were making little or no effort to force them of.
 Winkleman presents very busy appearance, and with the exception of the land troubles, it is quite orderly at the present time"

1Ou am taking to me.
 It is remarkable how fortunate some people are. Some will strive all day and come home at night and work over a model for patent, hoping to startle the world with his genius, by a new in. vention. Others will lie awake at night trying to scheme out something wherein he will get rich in a minute. But the man who mingles among the people and is ever on the alert and knows how to seize an opportunity when presented by word or action, generally achieves something great from which the masses would consider mere tritle Here s an instance at a railroad june tion where there was nothing but a water tank and a house. A theatrical company were waiting to catch train for New York; tramp came along and went to the house and asked the lady for something to eat. After she had fed him she asked him if he would cut some wood for her. The tramp said: "you ain t talking to me, and moved on down the road. All the members of the company laughed at the remark of the tramp. Soon the train came along and they got aboard and soon forgot the tramp, excepting one who saw at glance what an opportunity offered if he could write song around the words of the conversation he had heard back at the water tank between the lady and the tramp. So he at once took out his pencil and went to work. When the train arrived in New York he had written his song complete and set it to music, and it was an instan- taneous success and made him thousands of dollars. This is one of the big hits of the farce "The arrival of Jack John son in coon town' as presented by the " Ethiopian Troubadours ''who appeay at Dreamland on next Saturday and Sunday, February and 6.

SAM BUKER DIES AS RESULT IF HARD
 DRINKING

An extended birthday celebration, followed by excessive drinking, resulted in the death of Sam Buker, a well known local bartender, his dead body being discovered in a room over the St. Elmo saloon, yesterday forenoon.
 A week ago Buker celebrated his for tieth birthday. He drank heavily on the occasion of this celebration and in- stead of returning to work on the fol lowing day, continued to drink excess sively until Thursday night, when he became so weak and nervous from alec holic excesses that he was forced to give up liquor.
 Dr. Wales was summoned Thursday night. He found Buker in very poor condition and suffering from heart trouble. He gave the man such medi-
