MURDER IN DILLON.
Wade Berry Shot by John G.. Coates

Wade Berry Shot by John G.. Coates
Bingham, March 5.--Last night
just after midnight at Mallory, four
miles south of here, John G. Coates,
a Croatan, shot wade II. Berry in the
leg with shotgun, the wound caus-
ing Bery's death within about four
hours. The entire load, which was
fired at close range, entered the right
leg just below the knee and almost
completely severed the limb. Drs.
Major and Edwards of Latta were
promptly summoned, but it took them
some time to arrive and bleeding had
been so profuse that he was too weak
TO survive the amputation of the limb
The tragedy occurred in Coates
house and besides members of his
family there were three well-known
white men of the community who
were eye witnesses. 1t is stated that
the four white men were in a room
with Coates daughters and all were
drinking freely and having a good
time generally. when Coates, who was
in another room, overheard some re.
marks which he resented. He there
upon entered the room with drawn
gun and ordered them 10 give up.
threatening to kill the first who
moved. Two of them attacked him
and in the mix-up the gun was fired
with the above stated result.
Magistrate McRae Of Dillon held an
inquest this afternoon over the dead
body and the testimony brought out
was in accordance with the above
facts.
Coates claims that he had no in
tention of killing Berry and that they
had always been the best Of friends
and apparently they had been.
There were rumOrs that one Of the
men had pistol drawn on Coates
when the gun was fired, but no mem
ton Of this was made during the in
quest. The deputy sheriff Pierce
Bethea, arrested Coates and took him
to Dillon this afternoon Immediately
after the inquest.
Berry was the youngest son Of
Capt. Stephen Berry OF Mallory and
leaves a wife and three children, be-
sides his aged father, with whom he
lived. He was a brother of G.. Ray
mond Berry. who has recently served
out his time in Columbia penitentiary
r'r ,rmhezzIiRg school funds of Ma
rion county some years ago.
Berry was himself not alto
gcther a law-abidlng citizen. as he
was under a parole by Gov. Ansel for
bigamy. At the last term of court
here he was tried and convicted Tor

that saved the negro was his falling

Article XXXV.-SuggcstiOn to ANA
tour GardnerS.

The time TO begin planting our
spring garden is now at hand. The
question as to when TO plant the diff
fnrent types of vegetables is frequent
ly asked. The following vegetables
should be planted during the
month of February and in the south
ern part Of the State may be planted
as early as January. This, of course,
does not refer to the trucking section
along the coast, but TO the middle and
northern half Of the State.
Cabbage and CaulifIowers.
Frost-proof cabbage or caulinower
plants in the early part of February
without danger of being injured by
cold. The plants should be set in
rows feet apart and "a inches apart
in the row. The plants should be
set in the ground up to the first leaf,
leaving the entire stem covered with
soil. The frost-proof plants or
plants that have been grown IN the
open ground can be obtained from
growers in the southern part Of the
State who make a business Of grow
ing these plants. If one wishes to
produce his own cabbage or cauh-
flower plants, then the seed should be
planted in a hot he'd during the lat
ter part Of December and after they
nave become large enough to trans
plant they are gradually hardened off
by subjecting them to the cold and
allowing the plants to suffer slightly
for the want Of water A plant
handled in this way will be able 10
withstand the freezes of the early
spring while a tender plant would be
killed.
English or Garden Peas.
These may be planted any time
during the months Of January and
February, but for general garden
purposes plantings made early in
For best results the seed should be
planted about to 6 inches deep. 1t
has been my observation that gar
deners generally do not plant their
garden pea seed more than 1-2 to
inches deep.
The following vegetables may be
planted in the open ground now with
out danger Of being injured by frost.
or course, one must understand that
any of these are liable to be injur-
ed by very severe freeze should it
occur just at the time the seed are
terminating, but any gardener must
take these risks if he wishes an early
garden. Should they be killed Just
as they are terminating, then it costs
very little to plant again, the first
cost of the seed amounting to very
little indeed: Beets. lettuce, kaIe.
onion seed and sets, radishes, parsnps,
parsley, satisfy, and turnips.
After the ground has been
thoroughly prepared and fertilized.
the above named vegetables may be
planted in rows about "A to SO inches
apart and the seed sown continuously
IN the row. After the plants have be-
come TO , inches tail, they should

SOCIALIST GAINS
 IN CITIES

The recent success of the social ist city tickets i'll Schenectady, N, Y; Newcastle, Pa; Hamilton, Lorain, Martins Ferry, St. Mary's Fostoria, Mt. Vernon, Barberton, Salem, Cuyahoga Falls, Mansfield, and Canton Ohio; CrookstOn, Minn Read ing Pa Eureka, Murray, Manti, Stockton and Tintec, Utah, and electing officials in several cities, IS a proof that the people of the cities are ready to take any step that will afford relief from the corruption and factiOnalism of the older parties. They desire honest and capable city govern ment and are willing to give the younger party chance to prove it's claims.
 |. Perhaps the most significant utterance of a socialist candi- datefor mayor is that ofDr. Geo. K. Lunn who said, immediately after his election to the mayor ality of Schenectady
 You can rest assured that the city government is in safe hands. Every man elected today, and to be appointed, will be always at the service of the people, and every man who fails to do his duty will be immediately dismis- sed.
 There will be no more graft and fat contracts i'll this city. Every contractor who gets a dol lars worth of contracts will live up to the speci6ca tions."
 This is not socialism of the orthodox brand. It Is the utter ance of a man who evidently be- lieves in running city on hon: est business lines, as q puqliC trust. It is precisely what might be expected to be said by any man, without regard to party who was familiar with proble ms of the modern city and was de termined to give the people whas they want. But Dr.. Lunn Is to be congratulated on his clear view of this important problem
 The choice of the people in the cities. named will severally test the intelligence and capacity of socialists as managers of muni cipal affairs. They cannot dc better than to take Dr. Lnnn' quoted utterance as a genera guide. Phoenix Gazette.
