IRATE GUEST OF HOTEL
RAISES ROUGH House
Base BalliSt and Manager in
Fight

Atlanta, May 3.-Fred Corbin, of the
Atlanta baseball club, got into a
fight yesterday with Manager Frank
Harreu, of the Aragon Hotel. He
knocked or showed Harrel down
three flights of stairs, beat him
through the lobby and finally knocked
him through the door of his own hotel
into the street. The disturbance arose
when Harrell, as the proprietor, OBJ
jected to Cor5in visiting the apart
ments of a woman guest at the hotel.
Down the stairs and in the lobby it
was something of a rough and tumble
fight, Harrell sometimes being on top,
but when the knockout came at the
front door it was the hotel man whose
shoulders hit the pavement. Harrell
had to be carried to his rooms, while
Corbin was sent to the police station.
from which he soon emerged under
bond.

SUMTER STOCK FARM
PAYS GOOD PROFITS
MGSsFS. Bragg and Morgan
Have Achieved Success

The possibilities of hog-raising in
Sumter county are aptly illustrated by
the work that is being done on a
stock farm just outside the southern
limits of the city.
The farm is being conducted by
Nessrs. Bragg and Morgan, who run
i IN conjunction with meat market
IL the city, thereby making a combina-
ton that is much more profitable than
either business would be if conducted
alone The lot where the hogs are
kept, as well as the slaughter pen
is easily seen as one passes on the
Central railway going south just be-
yond the Seaboard crossing.
There are at present approximately
80 brood sows, 1870 pigs, 45 shoats,
ready for fattening and Is hogs that
are ready to be slaughtered at any
time. The fifteen hogs should easily
afford 5000 pounds of meat when
dressed. Most, if not ALL of the shoats
could be made ready for the market
in sixty days.
In the fattening of hogs for the mar
ket, Mr.. L. A. Morgan, the member of
the firm who has direct supervision of
the stock farm, has found that a swill
composed of wheaton shorts, mo-
lasses and water gives the most desir-
able results. Hogs fattened on this
mixture give meat that is firm, well
favored and in steady demand
A cattle pasture, where part Of the
cattle are raised and the other part
shipped in, is run in connection with
the hog farm, the cattle thus raised
and fattened. being disposed of at the
market in the city conducted by the
firm. The fir malso owns parcel of
/ land bordering on Muckalee creek
NEARBY from which a quantity of eX-
cellent timber is now being cut. Pine,
oak. sweet gum and other woods have
been handled at the mill and sold on
profitable basis.
The stock farm, especially the hog
pens, are visited by a number of peo-
pie every week, who come to look at
the porkers and to inspect the farm
The firm of Bragg and Morgan was
organized about year ago, so that
the close of the first year of business
gives a good point of vantage from
which to gauge its success, 1t is safe
to say from the last years business
that it has paid at least ten per cent.
on the investment. This is true after
all possible expenses incident to the
business have been included
The success of this firm is ample il,
lustration of the fact that stock-rais-
ing. especially the raising of hogs, in
Sumter county will yield profitable re-
turns On the capital invested

R. L. Wilkins Dead.

R. L. Wilkins, living on East
Sherman street, died very sud-
denly on Monday of this week.
Just after dinner he went out in
the back yard to cut some wood.
He was not out very long, how
ever, and when he came into the
house he told his wife he did not
cut very much wood, as his wind
was short. He sat down beside
the fire to warm, and in a few
moments his wife looked at him
and his head was hanging to one
side. She examined him and not
being able to rouse him called
Theo. Hudson, who lives next
door. Mr.. Hudson ran in and
found that the old gentleman was
dead.
Mr.. Wilkins was sixty-seven
years old, and was employed at
the planning mill. He leaves be-
sides his wife a daughter, Mrs. L.
NJ. Tobias, who lives in Denver.

the fact that this country already
has a general parcels post sys
tenn, limited to four pounds. Th'
real question is whether that Sys
tenn shall remain as it is, o.
whether in response to the de
nand of the mail order houses
and the mediums through which
they advertise, it shall be rad
ically changed to conform Il
their ideas.
The Parcels Post boomers de-
mand that the rates be radically
cut, though they all advocate
different amounts. Some believe
that the rate should be eight
cents per pound, with a weight
limit of from ten to fifteen
pounds. Other boomers demand
rates as low as one cent per
pound, with a weight limit as
high as one hundred pounds. In
between there are all kinds Of
opinions.
Opposed to these schemes are
the business men of the country,
who do from IS per cent to go
per cent of its merchandising
the manufacturers, jObbers and
retail merchants. They contend
that reducing parcels post rates
below the demonstrated cost of
the service and increasing weight
limits beyond the present facili-
ties of the postofice department
will enormously increase the an
nual deficit of the department,
which must be made up by taxa
ton upon the people, including
the many who would not be ben,
Gifted by the proposed parcels
post changes, the many who
would be directly injured and the
comparatively few who would be
and who are forcing
this thing through. The demand
for a parcels post comes hardly
without exception from those
who expect to profit in one way
Or another from the enormous in
;rease in the mail order business.

laboring under the influence o
several fallacies in regard to thu
Parcels Post question. Only ont
side has ever been presented Il
the consuming public, owing t.
the fact that the mail order pub
locations are interested in get
ting the Local Parcel Post bill
through to build up the mai
order houses, as naturally the
more the farmers order by mail
the more the mail order interests
fell justified in spending for ad'
vertising in farm papers, and SC
the system grows by what il
feeds on.
The idea has become prevalent
that there is very little opposi-
ton to the Parcel Post, and
while to a certain extent that is
a fact, nevertheless, there are
more than a million and a half
mercantile concerns in this coun-
try that are opposed to it.
The bill that is now before
Congress asks for a Local Rural
Parcels Post system. That is,
the Government is being asked
to transport packages of about
eleven pounds in weight along
the rural routes, but this pack
age must start, if Uncle Sam
is going to carry it, at the local
rural free delivery central sta
ton; which, in short, is asking
a subsidy to help the retail mail
order houses of the country de-
velop at the expense of the small
towns.
The census returns are now
coming in and these returns in
dictate that the large cities are
increasing in population while
the small towns of the country
are barely holding their own or
decreasing, so that it is evident
that the drift of population is
toward the large cities. Popula-
ton always follows trade. Two
much Capitalization, either in
government or in cities, is a bad
thing. Village life and the citi-
senship developed by it consti-
tute the only hope for the per-
oetuity of the free institutions
IF the country. The most grave
md serious dangers that now
menace our future, result from
he overgrowth of the large cities
Ind the consequent degeneration

lation. In the place of the plain |
'eople, whose country environ
nent has made them stable,
teady-headed, self-reliant and
Independent in thought and
haracter, we would have the
olatile city multitude float

ng, owning no real estate or

very breeze of popular preju-
ice or passion-ready for any

This proposition IS supposed TO
please the farmer because he is
supposed to get something for
nothing. 1t is supposed (first)
to please the country merchant,
because he will be able to de.
liver his goods out on the rural
free delivery routes without a
wagon and horses of his own.
(Second) 1t is supposed to please
Uncle Sam, because his empty
rural free delivery wagons will
travel loaded. (Third) It is sup
posed to be against the express
companies, because if Uncle Sam
carries the goods they won't get
the business. But when it is an
alyzed it can readily be seen that
these suggestions are not true.
If the Local Rural Parcels
Post bill were passed (irst) the
advantages to the farmer would
only be temporary, because this
bill would give a monopoly of
the trade to the one or two great
retail mail order houses that are
equipped to handle it, and it
would not be long before this
mail order trust had its hand at
the consumers throat, choking
greater profit from him, without
any compensating return than
the retail dealer, with his present
multitude of competitors, will
ever be able to do.
(Second) The local merchant
is not equipped with the para
phernalia to get general business
from the consumer unless the
consumer comes into his store.
(Third) Last year the govern
ment incurred a deficit that
amounted to approximately ST..
900, 1000 in operating the rural
free delivery system, which was
limited to the carriage of mail
matter and merchandise up to
four pounds. A great many of
the most successful routes are
made on horseback, over country
that is inaccessible to wagon, so
that the deficit, in spite of the
income received from the carriage
of packages, would be very much
greater than at present, and the
as whole, would have
to pay increased taxes to make
up the less incurred by this sub
system.
Any measure that jeopardizes
the business of the local dealer
jeopardizes just as strongly the
business of the farmer, who de-
Ponds upon the dealer not only to |
furnish his necessities but to take
his produce. If the Local Par
cells Post bill is passed the small
towns will be eliminated and the
farmer will be materially in
jured; the value of his property
which depends upon his prOxi-
nifty to a town and accessibility
to the railroad, will be decreased.

LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD
Nowhere in Biblical Lore Can There Be Found Intimation of Any
 Other Idea.

We misjudge and distort the nor mally human nature of the Savious when we picture him going through life, as Dante did after he had writ ten his Inferno" with the shadow of perdition on his brow. We may gravely question when it was that the cross began to darken our Lords pathway; there is no hint of such foreboding until we reach the mid dle of his ministry From that on there are occasional tokens that he saw Calvary ahead of him, and was at times pressed down with a dread ful sense of the inevitable agony which awaited him at the end. But all this IS very far from affording any reasonable ground for the conclusion that he smiled sometimes, but never laughed.
 If God did not intend us to laugh, on occasion why did he endow us with the capacity to laugh, with a sense of the humorous, with the fac ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and the absurd side of life; and, further more, why did he produce so many innings and people to laugh at?- Zion's Herald,
