DIED IN COLUMBIA.
w. r.. Sabin, Shot by Robert Chest
nut, Has Passed Away.

w. R. Sabin, who was shot by Rob-
ert Chestnut, contractor, at Or
angeburg, died from the wounds at
Knowlton's infrmary Wednesday
night, and his body has been carried
to Orangeburg for interment. Sabin
was manager of the Dixie Lumber
company and was seated in his Office
Tuesday morning when Chestnut
walked in and, it is charged, applied
a vile epithet. Chestnut then pulled
a pistol and fred two shots at Sabin,
neither taking effect. W. L. Cum
ningham, an employe of the COM
,pany, tried to demonstrate with
Chestnut, but the talking continued,
and Sabin was shot in the left side,
just below the heart. Chestnut sur
rendered to the sheriff soon after the
shooting. The meagre statements
given above will be investigated by
the authorities.
Both of the parties are residents
of Orangeburg. Mr.. Sabin has been
living at that place for about two
years. He was 80 years old and un-
married.-Columbia State.

Jackson's Defence

"But don't Judge man by appear

banquet in Columbus.
jackson Wentworth, after an alb
sence of 80 years, returned to the
home of his youth. Jackson had a
slight affection of the skin which
made his nose very red. Hence, when
he called at the parsonage tha old
minister remarked:
jackson, Jackson, my man, I'm

AMERICANS LIKE BANANAS.
Four Thousand Million of This Fruit
Imported in U. S. Last Year.

Four thousand million bananas
were imported into the United States
in the calendar year 1910. The bana-
ma habit is a growing one in the Unit
ed States. In the early eighties the
value of bananas imported, according
to the figures of the Bureau of Statls-
tics of the Department Of Commerce
and Labor, ranged between one and
two million dollars per annum; by
1890 the value had increased to 4 II
million dollars, in the fiscal year OF
1900 to nearly 6 million dollars and
in the calendar year 1910, to prac-
tically 12k million dollars. The
rapid growth in this class Of impor-
tation led the bureau of statistics a
few years ago to call upon collectors
of customs for the quantity as well
as the value imported and the figures
of quantities, beginning with the year
1908, showed for that year 35% mil
lion punches; in 1909, 39k million;
and in 1910, little over 40 million
punches were imported. Assuming
that these average 100 bananas to
the bunch, a figure which the import
ers state to be a conservative esti-
mate the total number imported in
1910 would aggregate approximately
1000 million bananas.
The value of the bananas imported
in the last decade aggregates In
round terms 100 million dollars. In
the calendar year 1901 the total
value of bananas imported was 81
million dollars; in 1905, 9A million;
in 1907, liz million; and in 1910
12k million. These figures or the
values of bananas imported are the
valuation at wholesale prices in the
countries from which exported to the
United Staes and the average price
per bunch was 81 cents, as will be
readily seen by dividing the 4O'lS2'-
95S bunshes imported in 1910 into
the stated value ofs12,433,334. How
much money is paid by consumers IN
the United States for bananas cannot
be estimated with accuracy, though
the cost of freight and the profits OF
importers, WHOLESALERS and retailers
must add very materially to the. 121s
million dollars paid for them in the
countries of production.
Central America and the West
indies are the chief sources of supply
of the bananas imported into the
United States. Of the 40 million
punches imported in the calendar
wear 1910, 81 million were from
Central America; 13h million from
British West Indies; 2 X million from

Death Caused by Poison.

Hampton, April 26.-After meet
ing several times, the coroner's jury,
summoned last September to hold an
inquest over the body Of Walker
Winn, of Fechtig, agreed yesterday
on the verdict that the deceased came
to his death by being poisoned by
unknown parties.
Winn, a young white man, died
very suddenly last September. The
coroner's jury, summoned to inquire
into the cause of his death, was un-
able to reach a verdict, and the re-
mains were buried. They were dis
inferred after time, and chemical
analysis made of the contents Of the
stomach. The chemist found II
milligrammes of chloride of mercury,
a sufficient quantity to cause death.
He was unable to say whether it was
administered in the form of. chloride
of mercury or bichloride of mercury.
In view of the report of the chemist,
the coroner's jury reached the YER
dict that Winn's death was due to
poison.
A copy of the testimony taken at
the inquest has been sent to the So
licitor of the circuit and further de-
velopments are expected in the case.

Sotuh America, principally Columbia
and Dutch Guinea; million from
Cuba: and about million from other
countries. Costa Rica is the largest
source of supply in Central America,
Honduras second, and Panama third
and the Jamaica is the largest source
of supply in the West Indian Islands.
The United Sta tes is the worlds
largest importer of bananas. The
United Kingdom is the next largest
importer, her imports Of this article
in the calendar year 1909 being 6A
million punches, as against 39h
million punches imported into the,
United States in the same year.
Practically the entire banana sup
ply of the United States come from
abroad. Efforts have been made from
time to time to develop the banana
industry in the extreme South and IN
California, but the domestic produc-
ton is inconsiderable when compar-
ed with the importation. The banana,
while probably a native Of India, Is
now grown in practically all tropical
countries and among considerable
part of the human race ranks as high
as do cereal grains among the people
of the temperate zones and 1t Is SAID
to produce more food upon given
area than wheat. The consumption
of bananas in temperate zone coun-
tries has increased enormously IN re-
cent years. They are used chiefly IN
the natural state, but in small guam
titles in the form of banana -four
made from ripe fruit. Small quanti-
ties of this -four are imported into
the United States, but in such incon-
siderable amounts that the bureau OF
statistics has not up to this time
found it advisable to separately
enumerate it among other articles
imported.

tion of progressiveness along governmental lines IS one that is before the people of our state; also, the nation, at the present time. As to Mir Hayden's atti- tude in this respect, we can truthfully say that he is up against the top-notchers in this respect. Charles Trumball Hay den, the able and influential fath- CT of Carl Hayden, for many years before his death was one of the leading opponents of these gOvernmt nt Il advance theories of this ntry. Mir. Hayden was i'll f ,ct the advance guard in Arizona of the many things that are now agitatine our peo- pie, and Carl was taught from early boyhood that the liberty of the people could come only through a system wherein the people had the privilege and right to exercise that power at the ballot box, and our candi- date for Congress stands at the head of the class as strong supporter of Arizono's constitu- tion and the many advanced problems contained therein. To the end that our new state may be able to secure some of it's just share Ol the many things that only Congress can bestow, we ask the people of Arizona to con- siCer well the fitness of Carl Hay den for Congress heiore they cast their ballots in the prim try election box on October 24th, 1911.

The keystone to success in public life is adaptability; thou sands of men are selected to fill important official positions an- nually that are never heard of after taking the oath of office.
 This IS peculiarly applicable as applied to men elected to Con- gress-the House of Representa- tives of the United States con- sists of nearly 400 members; out of this thirty names are often in the headlines of newspapers. and are discussed by people through out the nation till their names become a household word.
