Save the Fruit Trees.

Dig out the borers from -our peach
trees If you haven't already done so,
says the Progressive Farmer. Where
ever you see a gummy substance
coming out at the base Of the tree
you are safe in concluding that the
torer is present. Dig away the dirt
and dig out with knife or a piece of
wire. Don't think that these bor-
e,rs are of too little consequence to
merit your attention. They are Kill

tragedy. It is claimed that Rucker
had carried a gallon Of cider to the
party and it was over this that the
shooting took place. 1t was said
that Rucker fired his pistol four
times, but with what intention can.
not be said. Reeder went to his
buggy, followed by Rucker, and q
tussle ensued, it being claimed by
Reeder that Rucker snapped his
pistol In his face, and also struck
him with his hand. Reeder then
it is claimed, fired upon Rucker with
44-calibre Winchester, the ball
causing a fearful wound in the leg
Dr.. Knowlton,. Of Columbia, ampu'
tated the injured limb just below the
knee Friday afternoon and the lat
est report from Swansea states that
Rucker Is doing as well as could be
expected.
Rucker is a man Of considerable
means and prominence in the COM
munity. He Is a man Of family
Reeder is a young man, being only
about 21 year S of age, and is
married. His family is also promi.

More About Paving

To the Editor or The Age-Herdiu.
 I read the letter of our young friend, Sydney Lazarus, in your issue of Febru- ary p with interest in reference to paw ing Avenue E against the protest of all the propertyholders. While I would not agree that few persons in city should arbitrarily block improvement, when it was important I do hold that a protest as mentioned should have great weight and only be overridden when the com munity at large was affected.
 A fellow feeling makes us wonderous kind. I live on that part of South Thirtieth street Two blocks of this which the hilbillies call Hickory street. They are proud of the name, they love the street, The grade is easy and surfaced up with the best of Alabama chert. The citizens want to keep the chert just as 1t is The tax payers one and all are opposed to nak- ing an expensive automobile boulevard of it. They petitoned to the aldermen to that effect. But someone more powerful than the taxpayers wants it done. And the aldermen have so ordered it. The condition of city finances does-.not sug- sest to them to let well enough alone MT. Lazarus thinks the commission gov ernment for the city will remedy the wrong. So mote 1t be! But does this commission think local option should have an influence in these tax matters? It is beautiful theory. Our grave and reverend seniors of tho legislature deny it to us for election purposes with ice-aforethought while they gave it to other sections with the same intent. Yours respectfully. T. A. HAMILTON.

 "They violate the laws of neutrality he said. ''rhey invite the penalties of such infractions but they are not good sports. When they are caught, as some- times happens, and the penalty is about to be assessed against them, they squeal and appeal to our government to help them out.
