Closed Town Issue.

Columbus. o., Sept. 6.-George s.

second term as mayor of Columbus

ponents. George M. Harper and DAN
lei ]. Ryan, Marshall was elected
two years ago as a reform candidate
and he has closed saloons Sundays
and after midnight. Harpe-, a union
bricklayer, favored open saloons.
Ryan, who formerly was secretary OF
state. had a platform similar to that
of Marshall.
The Democrats have nominated
George j. Karb, supposedly an advo-
cate of an open town, but ho is ex-
pected TO declare for closed Sunday.
Karb easily defeated Henry A. Ma
son, monument dealer. Karb was
formerly mayor Of Columbus and
sheriff OF Franklin county.

MISSION WORKER is
KILLED BY NATIVES
Disappears While on Visit to
Interior Of Guiana.

Washington Sept. 6.-The Rev. o.
e. Davis of Washington. who has
been superintendent of the Seventh
Day Adventist mission in British
Guiana. was murdered by natives in
the interior while he was carrying on
evangelist work among them. The
murder is supposed to have occurred
in the second or third week in July.
Information of the murder was re-
ceived at the headquarters of the Sew
enth Day Adventists at Tacoma Park,
Md, near washington. 1t came in
the form of cablegram from the
Rev. l.. G. Boyer of California, who
had been sent to succeed Mr.. Davis.
The cablegram gave no details.
Shortly before Rev. Davis death a
report was received at the headquar-
ters here from DR.. Davis that he had
received an invitation from tribe
located some distance UP the Domora-
ras river and was just leaving in re-
sponse to it. lie added that it was
his intention after he had fulfilled
this mission to- penetrate territory
where no white man had heretofore
gone. Several days ago the headquar-
ters at Tacoma Park received a CO
blegram from Georgetown stating
that Mr.. Davis had not returned from
his trip to the interior and that fears
were entertained that he was mur-
dered. The murdered minister was
accompanied by his wife when he
went to British Guiana, and she is
now In GEORGETOWN.

DIR. S. \. Knapp Dead.

| DIR. Seaman A. Knapp, Director oil
| the farmers demonstration work OF
the L. s. Department of Agriculture
died April in Washington. d. c.
DR.. Knapp was II years old, and
probably personally acquainted with
more farmers thruout the South than
any other person in the Department.
The farm demonstration work in the
South was the most important work
to which DR.. Knapp devoted all his
energy.
To his Investigations and importa-
tons of foreign rices, grains, fruits.
etc. the Southern States owe an in
creased yield of many million dollars.
The start of farm demonstra ton work
was due to the difficulty the Depart
mont had in really getting hold of
farmers. especially the smaller ones,
and making them understand the
work the Department was doing for
their benefit. The Department was
doing very important experimental
and laboratory work and vas print
ing tons of pages of matter on its re-
searches but this did not appeal to
men fighting the boil weavil on small
patches Of land and sta ggerins along
with mortgages on their crops in the
ground.
DR.. Knapp was picked out as the
nan to bridge the gap between the
laboratory and the man with the hoe.
and the way he did it was one of the
most important undertakings in the
Department. Secretary Wilson called
it carrying the Department to the
farmer" That DR.. Knapp's methods
have been successful has been demon
strated by the increase in yields of
various products in the districts in
charge of the oemonsrators.
In his death the bots on the farms
haEe lost sincere friend and instruc-
.or and the country has lost man
thru whose. unrivaied energy vast re-
suits haze been accomplished. espe-
cially in the agricultural sections Of
the South AS one of his associates
in the Department said: lie was d
man who thoroly appreciated science,
and could talk it To the farmer in
words Of one sylla ble."
Having started the boys liz the cul-
tNstion of corn along practical and
successful lines. the doctor had
planned v ork in the garden for girls.
which now will doubtless be under
taken and carried to success under
the direction OF his son. Bradford.
who has been long associated with the
father in field and Office work.
