LAWYERS IN FATAL COMBAT.
Former College Classmates Princf'
nails in Pilot Mountain Tragedy.

FORMER OO11cSc SlaSSuloSSS AAS-
pals in Pilot Mountain Tragedy.
Charlotte, N. c., Oct. 12.-Thomas
Kallum, lawyer and editor, shot and
killed Henry Whitaker, brother at
torney, upon the main street OF Pilot
Mountain this afternoon. The homi-
eide grew out of an old feud. Whit
aker is said to have been advancing
upon Kallum with knife when the
fatal shot was fired.
Both slayer and his victim were
class mates at Wake Forest College.
The dead man leaves family.
Whitaker was 63 years old, tall
and well preserved for man OF his
years. Kallum was only % and a
cripple, walking with the aid of a
cane. He is editor of the Pilot
Mountain News. Whitaker, it is
said by eyewitnesses, advanced upon
Kallum with an open knife. The
latter warned him to stop, and after
some hesitation fired, shooting Whit
aker through the head, killing him
instantly. Kallum surrendered i'm
mediately to the authorities. Bad
blood had existed between the two
men for some time, though the cause
is unknown.

Culture i'm Relation to Control OF
Field Crop Insects.

This is the season of the year
when cultural methods for controll-
ing field crop insects pests must be
seriously considered. Most of the
pests with which we had to contend
during the past season are beginning
to make preparations for winter
quarters. The cotton boil worm will
burrow about two and half inches
into the soil of cotton and corn land
and then change to a chrysalis and
remain during the winter. The corn
stalk borer remains all winter as a
larva in the base of corn stubble
below the surface of the soil. The
black bill bug remains as a pupae in
the base of the corn >stubble during
the winter. The cotton and corn
root lice are protected by the ants
in undisturbed fields and like the
cotton leaf louise. they maintain
themselves on wild food plants In the
early part of the year before the
crops are up and in fall and early
winter after the crops are harvested.
Chinch bugs and the beetles OF the
southern corn root worms find win
ter shelter in rubbish, dead grass,
and weeds that remain in the fields.
It lis therefore self evident that neg
lected fields during the fall and win
ter are the best "incubators' for
the pests that are to menace our
crops next year. If the same crops
follow each other on the same land,
the conditions for insect propagation
are favored still more because their
preferred food is placed right before
them 80 that they need not even
have to hunt for it. These are the
conditions, therefore, that if not
given any forethought, will give us
endless trouble next year.
A system of fall and winter cul-
ture together with the planting OF
crops that will act as cleansers
against weeds that serve as food
plants and which themselves have
considerable immunity against in
sects, is the important question be-
fore the farmer right now. Among
the plants that are relatively free
from insect attacks are the votches'
cowpeas, clovers, and rye. Here then
are excellent plants to be used for
cleansing cover crops.
The boil worm is controlled by
winter plowing which breaks up or
exposes his earthen cell. If the corn
stubbles are plowed under in winter,
the corn stalk borer moth cannot
get out. To control bill bugs the in
tested stubble should be plowed up
and destroyed. CLEANSING crops de-
stroy the weeds that support our

CLINTON MAN HORSEWHIPPED
+. G. Wham Administers Severe
Thrashing to w. E. Nash.


Clinton, Oct. 14.-The citizens OF
Clinton were somewhat excited this
morning when Mr.. J. G. Wham ad-
ministered a severe whipping to Mr..
w. E. Nash in front of the First Ma
tional Bank, in the heart of the. city.
For long time, it is stated, there
has been a growing spirit of enmity
between these two men.
A few days ago Mr.. Nash reported
Mr.. Wham for hauling drit out OF
the public streets, and this morn
ing the mayor of the town fined Mr..
Wham 81 for this offence. This, it
appears, infuriated Mr.. Wham and
a few minutes later on meeting Mr..
Nash in front of the bank he drew
his buggy whip, and on telling Mr..
Nash that he was tired of his med
ding with other peoples business
began whipping him. After strlk-
ing him twenty-five or thirty times
Mr.. Wham took his buggy and LETT
Immediately for his home. Both OF
these citizens were summoned imme-
diately to mayors court. A fine OF
SIS or 80 days on the chain gang
was imposed upon Mr.. Wham. Both
men are prominent citizens, living

MIyLL1NAx DIES OF WOUNDS.
craenwood Oil Mill Man Shot by u.
w. Long Succumbs.

Greenwood, Oct. ID. T. NULL
max. manager of the Troy Oil MILL
who was shot Wednesday afternoon
by G.. w. Long, proprietor of the
Troy Pharmacy while Long was act
ing as special deputy, died Wednes-
day night in the Augusta hospital.
Mr.. Long, who had already surren-
dered to Sheriff Mcmillan, is still in
the county Jail. His attorney will
apply for bail at once. The inquest
was held yesterday afternoon at
Troy. Solicitor Cooper was present
at the inquest and w. H. Nicholson
of Grier, Park & Nicholson, was pres
ent representing the defendant.
Before the death of Mr.. Mulilnax'
his father Mr.. J. w. Mullinax'
swore out warrant for Mr.. Harve
Robinson, inendant, and Mr.. J. B.
Dowtin, the other deputy who was
with Mr.. Long, charging them with
intent to kill. The death OF MI. L.
p. Mullinax changed the charge and
when the coroner's jury returned a
verdict which did not include these
two the charge against them was
dropped. The report that they were
in iau was without foundation. The
two offered to surrender, but were
advised to wait until the inquest had
been held. Mr.. Robinson, the in
tendant, is cashier of the Bank OF
TROY. Mr.. J. B. Dowtin, the other
deputy, was sworn in with Mr.. Long
to make the arrest Of the negroes.
The negroes were employees of the
Troy Oil mill, of which Mr.. Mulllnax
was manager, and this fact brought
about the unfortunate difficulty.

take a birds eye-view of all the rec
omendations made for controlling
field crop insects together with the
planting of cleansing crops, it resolves
itself into rotation, deep fall plow-
ing, and the planting Of winter cover
crops. These recommendations are
in line with those of the leading
agricultural workers of the South.
The methods of culture and the sys-
tenn of rotation may vary to suit
the circumstances. In a nut shell
the following is typical rotation for
the control Of field crop insects on
the average farms of the South:

COLE L. BLEASE.
The expression referred to is colsx
tained in the following paragraph: M
There is fine material in South
Carolina politics just now for a COM
ic opera with Cole Blease as the
villain. s.
OF course, Mr.. Blease may take
this as he likes, but there are. pr0bsg'
ably few readers of the Journal dull
witted enough to think suggestions
of the governors fitness to play the 6
part of a villain in a comic opera

situation in South Caroline, is
speaking of him as a villain.
There are perhaps people whos
think Mr.. Blease villain or worse.
but we have seen no newspaper that
has stated its opinion Of him to this
effect. Certainly the Journal has NOT
done so. s. s.
We shall have to ask his excellent 81
excellency to accept our regrets tosg
his invitation to meet him at the

where. We would not 1ntrude our
presence or attempt
to interrupt for moment the COR
tinuous performance he gives $
wherever he goes of his favorite bur-
lesque, which might be entitled
Governing Great State" but which g
he renders with seriousness and an
that produces an uncon-
scious satire.
We are little concerned about Mr.
Blease or his acts or his talk, but
when man as ridiculous, as comtcal
as grotesque, as droll, as absurdly
vain as he is gets into the limeligh

PUTTING ON THE TRIMMINGS
Girl of Slender Purse Need Not Go
Without a Touch That Would
"Make" New Frock.

The girl of slender purse who is
attracted by the graceful imported
garnitures of beaded fringe shown on
some of the most attractive gowns Of
the present season need not feel 1t
obligatory on her either to be extraV-
agant or to go without the touch that
would make" her new frock.
Beads in themselves are not rela-
lively expense, and with a well chos-
en- assortment of these and few long
needlefuls of silk either to match or
contrast with that of the ground work
a plain silken fringe may be trans
formed into one that need be no lmi-
tation of any shown on the latest i'm
portations, but may, rather, have the
far more desirable quality of original
beauty in it's devising.
The best method of attaching these
somewhat fragile and elusive dan
giles" is to knot the threading silk
firmly first in the heading OF the
fringe, then, at the proper distance
around the bead, and again in the
heading with another knot, so that
each bead Cor set of beads, II more
than one is desired on each loop IS
entirely secure, both in itself and as
regards it's neighbors.

Faithful Track Walker On
Way to ireland.

New York, December 1S.-"Uncle
jim Rowan got in town Monday all
set for the first vacation he has had
for 81 years. 1t will be a good one,
too, and not the least decent thins
about it is that Uncle jim" gets his
vacation time, tickets from the State
of Washington to Ireland and back,
little money to spend with any
friends of his youth he can pick up
in the County Kerry, all as the Christ
mas present from the company he has
given the best years of his life to.
Uncle jim" is now 81 years of
age.
For 80 years "Uncle JIM" as he is
known to every railroad man who
passes through the lonely town of
Rosa, in the Yakima canyon in Wash
ington, has been busy with his job as
a track walker on the Northern Pa
citic railroad. In all that time he
not only didn't have vacation, but
never got a day off.
A while ago he wrote to the divis-
ion superintendent asking if he might
take enough time off this Christmas
to go to Ireland. Jim, in his letter
spoke of his years of service, and how
hard he had worked in his small
sphere. His relatives were all dead
he said, and he had set his heart on
getting to Ireland before he died him
self, and thought this year would be
a good one.
The superintendent took the mat
ter all the way to the president Of
the company. The board of directors
was interested, voted him a trip with
all expenses, and all along the line
there was an enthusiastic response.

IT is to be regretted that among the
dozen and one unnecessary things
which the modern girl is taught, some
deep-thinking person has not added
to the list that most necessary thing
for a girl to learn, the art OF silence
Silence is tremendous power IN
this day of laxative women. Besides
it is infinitely nicer to have some
depth which every passing acquaint-
ance has not sounded. The girl who
confides to you the story OF her past
Airtations and the secret hope her
heart is set upon the second day OF
YOUR acquaintance will soon bore you'
If she does not actually disgust you.
There is no subject in the world
that cannot be discussed with pro-
nrietv with the right persons and UNI
der the right conditions. But few
girls seem to possess the eye OF dis
elimination for these two facts. On
the contrary, they frequently seem
rather to pride themselves on discus
sing the wrong subject with ths
wrong person.

Advice About Stomach Troubles And
How f. Relieve Them.

Do not neglect Indigestion which
may lead to all sorts of ills and COM
plications An eminent physician once
said that ninety-five per cent of all the
| ills of human body have their origin iii
disordered stomach.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets leads us to believe them to
be among the most dependable rem
edies known for the relief of indiges-
ton and chronic dyspepsia. Their in
gradients are soothing and healing to
the infiamed membranes of the stom-
ach They are rich in pepsin, one Of
the greatest digestive aids known to
medicine. The relief they afford is very
prompt. Their use with persistency
and regularity for a short time tends
to bring about cessation of the pains
caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets help TO
insure healthy appetite, to aid diges-
ton, and thus promote nutrition. AS
evidence of our sincere faith in ReXall
Dyspepsia Tablets, we ask you to try
them at our risk. If they do not give
you entire satisfaction, We will return
you the money you paid us for them,
