MR.. T. E. SALTERS DEAD.
End Came Suddenly Monday AT
His Home at Salters Depot.


so entitled from the office of magis-
trate whose duties he had notably
discharged, has passed into the
great beyond. His taking away
was unexpected and sudden, yet
the manner of his death was as gen.
;ie and quiet as the falling asleep of
IN infant. Monday evening, Octo-
Der "a, in his usual health appar-
emily, he retired at bedtime; Mrs
Salters had been reading at the
ireside. Although there was fire
IN the hearth, he said something
about being chilly thought of only
afterwards as indicative of what
uncOnciously to others and to himself
was then taking place. He turned
over, saying he would go to Sleep
\ little later his wife heard from
nim some unusual sound, as if try
ing to speak. She called and then
laid her hand on his shoulder to
arouse him from what might be a
troubled dream. Unable to arouse
him she called Tom" from his
room, but the Judge was not to be
aroused. Neighbors were hastily
summoned-Messrs Chandler, Cook,
Thomson, McClary, Odom and Hut
ton were soon there-but found that
he was indeed passed beyond recall.
The funeral took place at p m
Wednesday. He was buried be-
side the church he loved and served.
Judge Salters was a man of ster-
ling character, having a local habi-
tation, and a name" Through life
he occupied the ancestral home. He
was member of the Union Pres
byterian) church, for many years a
deacon, of late years a ruling elder.
He often attended the church courts
as representative of the congrega-
ton. A modest man, he yet shrnuk
from no duty because it was due be-
fore the public. "The heart of his
wife did safely trust in him." His
fellow man knew his word to be as
good as his bond" He had posses
sion of himself and was not easily
swept off his feet. Therefore, in
any kind of conflict with men, and
under provocation, he was not eX-
cessive in what he said or did, but
reasonable, moderate, forbearing
and conciliatory. At the same time,
he was not of a timid spirit. His
was a strong soul. and stood i'm
movable for right. truth and good
ness, as he conceived them to be.
He was proud to own himself the
object of goodwill and confidence
on the part of the colored people.
His neighbor dwelt securely by him
and his acquaintance recognized his
courtesy.
He leaves his wife and three chill
dren, viz: Messrs John NJ and
Thomas E and Miss Lillian V Sal
ters, the latter being a student at
Winthrop College. He was about
ga years old and had always lived
at the old home.
All have suffered privation in his
passing and feel a sympathy with
his family in their irreparable loss.

as the Cotton King" was declared in
contempt of court on Thursday, July !,
by Justice Mills of the State Supreme

The Sentinel of recent date, published

Judge A. D. Land says:
The Sentinel was pleased to see
Judge A. D. Land of the Supreme Court
in Vidalia yesterday. To those who had
heard that his age was the only reason
why he should be retired, his vigorous
appearance was quite a surprise. He is
one of the youngest and ablest. Judges
on the bench, and to retire him now,
after giving up a large and lucrative law
practice to fill an unexpired term on the
bench, would be as unjust as it would
be ungrateful He is a Confederate
Veteran, bearing honorable scars re-r
ceived in the defense of his country, and
should be elected at the coming election
IN November, over his young opponent
who is one of the judges of the Circuit
Court for this district, and who can af-
ford to wait until the older men retire
of their own vo1ition, and noe thrust
them aside, without cause.
The Sentinel hopes this parish will
give Judge Land a large majority, and
from present indications he will carryl

PEANUT ACREAGE
Farmers of DeSoto Are D;versifying
Their Crops.

Mansfield Journal: Peanuts are being
planted in DeSoto parish this year to a
larger extent than ever before. This
parish was one of the first to be invaded
by the boil weevil, and DeSoto farmers
were among the first to diversity.
Hogs, chickens, peanuts, potatoes and
all kinds of fruit are being raised, not
only for home consumption, but for the
markets also.
Among the progressive farmers who
are going i'll heavy on peanuts this year
IS w. H. Harrison Jr., who is planting
rs acres. He says he has land that will
not raise 5 bushels of corn to the acre
but wifi easily produce 20 bushels of
peanuts, and at $I.oo bushel, the min
lmum price, there is good money for the
'goober man."
Mr.. Harrison is also engaged in rails
ing thoroughbred hogs, Jersey cattle and
fancy poultry. He has ben in DeSoto
parish only about year, formerly living
in Iowa, put is fully satisfied that Louis
lana is the land of golden opportunities. |
Bowling Brothers. of Gloster, mer-
chants and farmers, have 90 acres plant
ed to peanuts. The seed used is known
as the Georgia variety. The peanuts are
planted in a field of cotton, in alternate
rows, and receive the same working that
he cotton does. The prospects for a
arge yield are fattering.

TWO HUNDRED JEWS
Have Ditd from Hardships Following
Expulsion from Russia.

Secret advices received in New Yorl
recently by semetic leaders say that
more than 200 Jews have died from the
hardships following their expulsion
from Russian cities. The expulsion is
being pushed with brutal ferocity. Fully
10000 men, women and children have
been driven like cattle from the pre-
seribed territory, most of them penni-
less, and subjected to incredible hard
ships.
The full story of the horrors of this
forced exodus may never be known, but
Vlennese Jews charge that the expul-
sion has been responsible, directly or in
directly, for the long list of deaths. The
reports from Kiev are that nearly all
the Jewish residents there have been
forced out, and that expulsion continues
At other points. The cities in the pale

for six weeks an dthe precipitation since

floods is threatened. Many streams are
full and some are out of their banks.
The craps crop is suffering heavily and

is almost destroyed. Meteorologists at
tribute the rainfall to continuous hot

absorb water in crossing the gulf stream
