William Buckingham. representa- tive of Fairbanks. Morse and com pnay. arrived in Bisbse last night. his first visit to the territory in several months. Mir Buckingham sells more mining machinery and other mlchin- cry than anybody else west of the Rockies, bur his fame does not rest on that circumstance, but on the fa,t that he has clarified thq subjunctye mood, or ra. .er. he uls irought it nearer to the pcint of clarity tr2D any pre- decessor. He is hopeful that com rIete success will finally crown his efforts and the study Of ye9Is, ai'"r which he win rossib!y taokle ihe Eaglish subjunetiye.
 In the course of his pursuit of the Spanish subjunctiye. Mir. Bucking- ham came to be regarded in diplo- matic circles as an international nui- sance, and a constant irritation and a menace to the friendly relations which this government began trying to establish with Latin America dur ing the administration of Mir. Blaine at the head of the department of state At one time the activities of Mir. Buckingham threatened the dis ruption of the Pan-American confer ence.
 After having applied in vain to the professors of the Romance languages and literature in the chief institutions of learning in this country, with no other result than the asecrtainment of the fact that the subiunctive mood was as muggy to them as it WIS to him, MT. Buckingham took the sub iect up with the Mexican ambassador and the ministers and charges q af- faires of the various South and Cen tInl American republics.
 All replied politely at first, and promised him that with the next mail they would afford him the information desired But to promise and to per form were two quite different things.

 This sentiment was subsequently abated through the soothing meth ods cf John Barrett. director Of tho Bureau of American Republics, and Mr. Buckingham continued his in quIfies in other directions.

Money has been spent galore. It is. in short, @ dressmaker and milliner's delight The story tells the follow ing tale: A young American study ing art, falls in love with a model, Lola. His wealthy father objects 10 the marriage Stormy scenes follow, hut in the end, Dick Lorimer. the young American, obtains some pie lures taken by a moving picture syn dicate, showing the antics of the father with a young art student. This, coupled with the discovery that Lola is really a baron's dauehter, enables Lorimer to overcome his fathers ob- jections, and the last act ends with a scene reminiscent of 'Sapho,' when the student carries his fiancee up a flight of steps and they waltz away in true Viennese musical comedy style and are married.
 The cast includes some of the best known musical comedy artists and is said by those who should know to be, on the whole, superior to the one now playing in New York City. This is easy to understand. as it has not been organized as 2 road show. and wiIl only be seen in the larger south ern and western cities.

MISTLETOE NOW
 OBJECT OF ATTACK
American Youth Win Now Have to Find Other
 Excuse

It is only a question of time, the scientists declare. when the youth of America will elevate his mautissa and osculate his sweetheart without the prcvocation of mistletoe. or find substitute that is just as good. Out Of the American youths inventive genius or the American maidens CO quettish wiles. the situation will more than likely be met and solved in due time.
 Scientists are placing mistletoe in the same class with the boil weeyil, the hood worm. the stegomia fascina- tor and other germs that assault the vitality of the animal and vegetable Kingdom. lt is not generally known th,it mistletoe is a parasite, and that it is one of the greatest enemies or trees. The startling slaughter Of for ests during the last thirty years, which resulted in the establishment of the forestry service. started an investigation. and one of the discoy- cries was that mistletoe, no less than the woodlands axe. was causing the death Of forests. It has been proved by observations in the Tusay- an national forest that there are large sareas where over sixty per cent of the valuable yellow pine has been attacked.
 Since it takes lfrcm l50 to 200 years to grow one of these forest trees of more than 100 feet in height 4t can be easily seen the damage this parasite is doing. So il is now more kelly to be killed ont on this charge than it is to be finally crushed out cf existence by the hands that only used it as a yuleude decoration.
 According to pr. Hedgcock, from one to two per cent of all the vel low eine in ghe southwest is at tackled. The mistletoe usually starts in the forks of lateral branches and spreads as the tree grows, or it may even infect seedlings.
 The seeds of the mistletoe. which are sticky. are formed in the summer and ripen in the fall. When the seed covering bursts, these seeds may be shot from five 10 twenty feet, and often adhere to the bark Of neighbor- ing trees. soon developing roots which penetrate the cambium.
 Saplngs attacked by mistletoe are deformed and some of their branches killed outright. and their height and diameter (which under good condi- tions is only 2f.5 inches in a tree 250 years cld) is stunted. Not only this, but their seed crop is lessened, and as this means less reproduction of the most valuable timber that Nev Mexico and Arizona produce in any great quantit es. this limiting of the seed crop is a serious charge against so small an enemy as the mistletOe app1rrs to be at first sight. In some cases of severe attacks. the tree pro, duces no seeds at all. Sometimes when the host tree is much weak ened. the host tree dies from lack Of nourishment.
 The dry climate Of the southwest, however. aids the eXterminatlon Of this parasite by lack of moisture for it's development Without this aid, there is no telling how Fsr this plant with its pretended love privileges, would carry its career Of timber ex termination.

Reapportionment Bill Reported.

Washington, Jan. 11.-The Crum-
packer congressional re-apportion-
ment bill, fixing the house member
ship at ABB, exclusive of Arizona and
New Mexico, was ordered favorably
reported to the house to-day by the
census committee on motion of Rep
resentative Burleigh, of Maine. The
bill will be brought up in the house
at the earliest opportunity.
The bill was amended in commit
tee so as to provide that the reap
portionment should be made by the
legislatures of the State, provision
usually made in the re-apportionment
bills but omitted from this one be-
cause of conflicting legislation in sew
eral States covering the matter.
The measure will provoke a lively
discussion when it comes up on the
floor of the house, for there are
many different views as to the re-
apportionment. The 433 was fixed
by the committee as the lowest num-
ber which would avoid reducing the
numerical representation of any
State.

Legislature Will Pass on Liquor.

Montgomery, Ala, Jan. 13.-With
the appointment of committees on
both sides of the legislature this af-
ternoon the organization was per-
fected and disposition was shown in
both senate and the house to encour-
age legislation of a character profit
able to the State by drawing as few
lines as possible between the vic
tors and the vanquished.
Great interest centred in the make
up of the committees on temperance
in the two houses. This committee,
it is known, will have to pass on the
most vital question that will be
brought before the legislature and it
was for these committees that the
Anti-Saloon leaguers made their
fight. In the senate the members
were about equally divided between
local optionists, dispensary advo-
Gates and absolute prohibitionists
while in the house the local option
lists prevail to a great extent. Sena-
tor Frank S. Moody is made chair
man in the senate He is a dispen-
sary advocate. In the house John
v. Smith is chairman. He is a local
optionist.

Smith Wants Action.

Washington, Jan. 10.-Senator +.
D. Smith expects in day or two to
introduce in the Senate some form
of resolution designed to bring out
the facts in the potash situation
which has been growing more acute
for several days. He will go to the
White House tomorrow to confer
with the president and will probably
take prompt action to get the situa-
ton into the hands of the senate.
The senator states that the whole
matter resolves itself into the ques-
ton whether or not Germany pro-
poses to place a penalty upon potash
and kainit exported to Aemrica un-
der contracts made before the pen
atty law was passed by the reich
stag.
The Southern farmer, he says, is
interested only in the price he has
to pay for his fertilizer. He thinks
the United States should take more
aggressive attitude than has been as
sumed thus far by the State depart
ment.

WANTED TO ARREST DAUGHTER
Spartanburg Mother-in-Law Brings
Trouble Into Court.


Spartanburg, Jan. 14.-One of the
saddest cases in the annals of law
in Spartanburg came up at the last
term of court. George Shaver was
the defendant in an action brought
by his mother-in-law. The woman
alleged that Shaver sold her piano
and sewing machine and family
Bible and a number of pictures and
other household goods when she was
away for a Christmas vacation. She
caused him to be arrested. The peo-
pie are well-to-do white people, but
Shaver has been in the courts on nu-
merous other occasions. He married
a 14-year-old girl, and when he was
arrested she agreed with him in say
ing that she herself had sold the
goods. He was found not guilty.
Then the mother-in-law came be-
fore Magistrate A. H. Kirby and
wanted to have her own daughter ar
rested and placed behind the bars,
charged with breach of trust. The
good old magistrate tried in every
manner to persuade her not to take
such an action, but she persisted un-
til it became necessary for him to
fatty refuse, without consulting law
yers. The woman was indignant
when advised not take such a course.

plantation. It started in a dispute
over house. Further particulars as
to the cause of the quarrel could not

more and more bitter, harsh words
were exchanged, threats made and
when the neighbors met Wednesday
morning they were apparently pre-
pared for violence.
Mr.'Alverson came to the boundary
line between his and Mr.. Norris's 8
plantation alone. Mr.. Norris was
accompanied by his two sons, one of
whom was named Alexander.
Opened Fire.
From the accounts heard, Mr.. Al

.32 calibre revolver, shooting him
in the hip. The Norrisses were stand
ing on their own property, but only
Is or 20 feet from Mr.. Alverson.
Alexander Norris, it is said, fired at
Mr.. Alverson with a shotgun. The
shot struck him, putting out his left
eye and passing through bis nose.
Other shots filled his face and neck.
Mr.. Alverson fell to the ground, but
managed to fire at Alexander, shoot
ing him in the calf of the leg and
breaking a bone.
Hit in the Stomach.
Mr.. Norris's other son then fired
at Mr.. Alverson from farther away
than Alexander had been. The shot
struck Mr.. Alverson in the stomach.
He returned the fire while still lying
on the ground and sent a bullet
through the others trousers leg. The
Norrises then retired.
Mr.. Alverson, though weak and IN
great pain from the loss of his eye'
got on his feet and walked dis
tance of 200 yards back to his home.
Drs. Posey and Alexander were
called from Woodruff and are attend
ing to all of the injured. Mr.. Alver-
sons wounds are said to be the most
serious. All three are in bed, but are
likely to recover. No arrests have
been made.

Two black and one a mulatto is the
description given by Redmond.
AS he is a man of very limited
means, some doubt his story. He
has always claimed to have money
somewhere coming to him, and it is
possibly the truth.
Efforts were made by his son-in'
law to locate the negroes, but to nc
