A CRIMINAL WAVE.

1t seems that the police authorities
nre OF the opinion that Salt Lake City
at present is the scene OF the operations
of a gang of housebreakers. and this
view Is amply sustained by the many
robberies and other crimes committed
recently. vs.
We had a similar experience here
when the so-called Liberal party sue
cceded. by peculiar methods. in obtain
ing control over the municipal offices.
The City then was filled up with ruff
fans who prcyed upon the community
and made the streets unsafe at night.
At that time the conditions became so
abnormal that the people decided to
take the matter IN their own hands
and rid the place of both the criminals
and the administration. Protests
against the mismanagement of the gov
ernmcnt were made at public mass
meetings. and a change for the better
was effected.
One of the evil features of such strife
as the small but turbulent anti-"Mor-
mon" faction has managed to keep up
Is that 1t attracts law breakers from
all over the country. 1t was stated in
the report of the commission investlgat-
ing the white slave traffic" that word
is sent to tho underworld from ono end
of tho country to the other of the re-
suits of elections, and the undesirable
citizens go where they hope to be pro-
tected. The Investigators had found in

administration. bad women who had
fed from New York. Anti-"Mormon"
strife has never failed to bring response
from q number of human parasites who
hope to live on their fellow men by
lawbreaking. No sooner has tho anti

such characters have hurried to the
scene and commenced operations. Wit

dramas as We're then enacted To that

WROTE FAREWELL
kOTE TO HIS WIFE
BOStwiCk Married Life
Rent With QuarreIS.

>Ocilla, Ga, June 2S.-During an
examination of the house in which w
H. Bostwick barricaded himself SO
successfully, a note unsigned and not
dated, but bearing evidence of having
been written some time Sunday night
by Bostwick to his wife, was found in
one of the two Bibles found there, the
other having been riddled with bull
lets.
"Malissa Bostwicke When this is
read, if | am dead, you can say that
you are the only woman in the world
that [ love- Malissa, you have treated
me wrong. | am not guilty of what
you accuse me. You say l threatened
your life. | threatened my own life
II | am gone when you read this l

enough. When | return I had better
to be my wife and not a divorced
widow"
The last sentences were very irreg-
ular, showing that Bostwick had be-
came mixed in his composition, and
probably put it aside to be finished
later.
A saw that had been hanging on the
wall in the rear of the house was
pierced with nine bullets. showing how
close the firing and how marvellous
was Bostwick's escape from death long
before.
None of her married life with Bost-
wick was happy for Mrs. BostwicS
who was a Miss Fletcher before her
marriage, and it was out of repeated
quarrels with members of her family
that the trouble leading up to a total
| estrangement and death threats came
about. To begin with Mrs. BostwicR
was left a good estate by her fathal
when he died several years ago. In
the division of The estate there Were

Fletcher family took part Later, af-
ter Mrs Bostwick received the farr
on which she has been living as hel
share in the estate, Bostwick wantea
to mortgage it. His wife would no
approve and they had intense quar-.
reals.

ALEXANDER'S BILL
KILLED BY SUBSTITUTE
No Special Agent for the
". & A.. Road.
Especial to Times-Recorder)

Atlanta Ga, June 2S.-A law
against pistol carrying was enacted in
the house today, leaving the law
against carrying concealed weapons
where it is and providing penalty for
any one carrying a peapon openly
without a license, which, the new law
requires.
The house, with as much despatch
as the rules of parliamentary pro
ceedure permitted, appropriated 81
500 for the expenses of committee
members in addition to the $4,000 set
aside for that purpose last year and
found insufficient.
The bill of Mr. Alexander, of De-
kalb, providing for a special agent for
the Western & Atlantic railroad, the
property of the state, was passed by
substitute, tile duties designed for the
special agent being assigned to the
state railroad commission and pro-
vision for a special agent and his
salary being stricken.

ALL TEACHERS HAVE
ACCEPTED PLACES
To Which They We're Elect
ed BY Board.
Claimed 1t Is Now I'm
possible to Make De-
sired Change.

Each of the six male teachers elect
ed for the Americus High School have
accepted the positions for which they
were chosen and will report for duty
when the schools reopen in Septem-
lber.
Miss Sarah Wheeler, formerly in
structor in Latin in the High School
but chosen to fill the position of prin,
cipal of the Furlow Grammar School
the coming year, it IS understood. has
also signified her acceptance of thai
position.
In view of these facts, it is said that
the Board of Education is not in a po
sition to make any change in the plans
that have been announced and that
the teaching faculty of the High Scho1l
the coming year will be an all-maie
one.
The only way in which the Board
could now make a change, it is said,
is for one of the male teachers to
agree to swap places with Miss
Wheeler or some other teacher in tnc
grammar school. and it is not belie5-
ed that any of them would desire to
do this.
Having engaged the men as teachers.
and they having accepted the Board
Of Education is liable to them for tbs
years salary and could not at this
juncture simply set one of them aside
without laying itself liable for dam
ages. That, at least, is what member
of the Board said yesterday in dis
cussing the matter
There is nothing to be done now,',
said he, "but to go on with the full
male faculty and give it a trial for IA
year. At the close of the year, if pub
ic sentiment is against it sufficiently
to show that a change is needed, the
Board can then elect one or more w0-
men as teachers in the High School
1t will do no harm to try out the eX-
pertinent for a year, and by that time
we will be in better position to judge
as to the merits of the objections thai
have been urged against the change
that has been made. This is not un-
reasonable, and if parents will simply
let things stand as they are for year
it is not improbable that their objec-
tions may by that time have vanished
There is said to be no change of
heart on the part of the members cf
the Board who voted for an all-male
faculty. and that the petition from the
fathers to be handed in at the mex
meeting of the Board will meet with a
fate similar to that accorded to the
mothers petition. At least that is the
impression that now prevails.
The interview with President Ash

A POLITICAL SCRAP
SEEMS TO BE AHEAD.
May Be Several LegiSIa-
tive Candidates.
Gossip Tells of Prospec-
tive Candidates For
Both Houses.

Signs of storm are brewing on tn,
local political horizon. Instead of tn,
peaceful, almost somnolent, Legislative
campaign and election fraught will
nothing of especial interest, Sumter
is oW threatened with one of the live
liest races that it has ever known. i
may not materialize, but the prognos
ticators will be very much surprised
if the next fortnight does not SET
changes in political conditions tha
will assure fight to the finisEl will
enough candidates III the field to give
every one a chance to have a few fay.
orites in the running.
So far there are only two open-and-
above-board candidates, Col. ]. E
Sheppard, for the senate, and e. A
Nesbit, Esq, for the house. But the
friends of other men of strength are
working on the to induce them to cast
their gloves into the arena and fight
ito a finish, and the next few days may
see some announcements.
Col. Crawl. Wkeatley is being press
ed to run for the senate. He has re-
fused thus far to be drawn into the
scrap, pleading the heat of the weather
and the press of business, but he may
find it necessary to yield and enliveD
the situation with an announcements
before July has we'll entered on its
history. If Col. Wheatley tries con-
clusions with Col, Sheppard, the race
for the senate is apt to develop, it IS
intimated, into triangular fight, witt
Mr.. Jarrett Wilson holding down one
of the corners. This would make a
pretty nip-and-tuck scrap, and no one
could complain of a lack of snap to the
senatorial campaign, once it got fairly
started.
With Mr. Nesbit in the field as the
sole occupant up to this time, there is
naturally much gossip as to wtlo else
will fill a seat in the house Hon
Fletcher w. Griffin, one of the present
representatives from Sumter, is look
ed upon as well assured to seek a re-
election, as he is interested in some
legislation that has failed to be enact
ed as yet. He has not committed him
self as yet. Many friends of Mr.. jeff
Taylor, too, are insisting that he try
a term at Atlanta and see how he en-
joys making laws for Georgia. For
mer Legislator Dykes turns down all
to him to try for another
term, but there are one or two others
who are rumored to be giving a some
what attentive ear to the pleadings Of
the siren political aspiration. Before
the primary election day arrives 1t
would, accordingly, not be surprising
if there were three candidates for the
senate and three for the house, as
things now look. But on the otEer
hand the gossip may prove only gos-
sip and there may be no opposition to
Col Sheppard, and only two candi-
dates for the two house berths. The
next week or ten days is expected TO
settle the question.

BIG ORCHARD IN PRIME;
Scene A BUSY ONE
Largest Peach Orchard in
the World.

Two miles out of Americus is the
largest peach orchard in all the
world-a distinction of which we may
be proud-and just at this time there
IS no buster pS.ce in Georgia than the
great packing house of the Bagley-
Ray-Gober Co., where the fruit of
25O,00O trees is being packed for ship
ment.
1t is a scene we'll worth witnessing,
and many people go out daily from the
city to watch the gathering of the lus-
cious fruit and loading the refrigera-
tor cars.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
trees in one vast area and all bend
ing beneath harvest of red and
goIden fruit.
No section of Georgia, or of the
world for that matter, rivals Ameri-
Gus as fruit producing and shipping
centre, as in recent years it has sur
passed the once-famed Marshallvilie
and Fort Valley sections, as well as
that of North Georgia
And largest of all the orchards here
is the vast Bagley-Ray- -Gober or
chard of three thousand acres.
Here one catches a glimpse of mag
nificent yistas of waving trees, set IN
straight rows two miles in length, and
every tree, without an exception, bend
ing beneath a weight of luscious ripe
fruit.
1t is indeed privilege to look upon
such splendid orchard as this one
and others here.
For two weeks the company has
been busily engaged shipping peaches
of the first varieties and latterly the
Carmens, one of the choice varieties.
But the Carmens will soon be gone,
only to be replaced by an even
ch'oicer variety, the Hiley Bellies, this
week just in their luscious prime
Out in the orchards yesterday 110
laborers with fruit wagons picked the
Hiley Bellies carefully from the bend
ing trees and carried them to the great
packing shed to be Grated and put
aboard cars on the sidetracks.
Beneath the shed another hundred
employees carefully assorted the firm
ripe peaches and placed them in the
open crates.
Judge George F. Gober, Mr. H. G.
Bagley, Mr.. N. A. Ray, owners of this
princely domain, were interested spec
tators there yesterday and watched
the process of packing the fruit and
loading of several iced cars in wait
ing in the company's yards.
Supt c. S. Verdery and Mr.. r. l.
Scott, of the orchard company, are
also the busiest of men at this the
heighth of the shipping season, and
view with pardonable pride the mag
nificent crop they watched to matsAffty
With the shipment of the Hiley
Bellies this week the next crops, the
Georgia Bellies and Elbertas, will have
their inning. And this will be the
greatest of all, for one hundred thou5-
and Elberta trees are almost breaking
down beneath the weight of the finest
crop they have ever produced
Messrs. Bagley, Ray and Gober are
we'll pleased with results thus far and
will doubtless realize handsomely up
on their orchard this year, as proba-
bly, 100 to 125 car loads Of peaches
will be harvested there.
