uisuanO W uoIlce gwen,
meeting Of the stockholders OF
the Fulton County Bank was held
at the Court House at 2 O'Clock
last Saturday afternoon, at which
a board Of eleven directors was
elected to manage the affairs OF
that institution during the ensu-
ing year. The large number of
stockholders present from every
part OF the County, Indicated the
interest manifested IN the selec.
tion of these officers.
To be eligible to a seat on the
Board OF directors 1t was neces-
sary to hold ten or or more shares
of stock. By reason of the fact
that 30 persons of the total 120
stockholders, were thus eligible
an opportunity was given to
select a board of eleven directors
from this number. Every one Of
the thlrty-tive received votes; but
those who received a majority of
the votes cast were: John A.

WORK OF FIRE BUG.
Two Fine Large Bank Barns in Frank.
lin County Destroyed Last Satur
day and Sunday. No Clue.

The large frame bank barn
belonging to Jacob l. Bhodes,
one mile east of Welsh Run, Pa,
was completely DESTROYED by fire
last Saturday morning, between
midnight and 3 o'clock, together
with all of It's contents.
The fire appeared to come from
the inside, but just how 1t started
is not known, but 1t is supposed
to have been of incendiary crlgin.
The blaze was discovered by
Mr.. Rhodes housekeeper who
Immediately raised the alarm.
About a dozen neighbors gather.
ed but the flames were beyond
control and very little could be
done.
A hog pen near the barn was
also destroyed but the hogs were
gotten out in safety.
Mr.. Rhodes lost in the fire five
head of horses and II head of
cattle. One horse which was
loose IN the stable ran out and es.
capped.
All of Mr.. Rhodes hay, 400 CT
500 barrels of corn, all of his fod.
der, the entire crop of wheat,
about 400 bushels, all of his straw
and practically all of his farming
implements were consumed. A
few small pieces were saved.
The barn, while not a good one,
was in very good condition.
The building burned rapidly
and made very large fire.
There is an insurance of 81, 900
on the barn, but very little on the
live stock.
On Sunday morning between
3 and 4 o'clock fire was discover
ed in the barn on the farm be-
longing to John Palmer, about
2! miles from Welsh Run. There
was nothing about the barn,
to Mr.. Palmer, that
would cause a fire and the sup.
position Is that fire bug caused
the blaze.
The fire was discovered in time
10 allow the horses and cattle to
De taken from the barn, but SIX
'at hogs were burned, together
With crops, feed, harness etc.
The barn was comparatively
lew. Mr.. Palmer having built
t and a house several years ago.
There are no clues as TO the
IDENTITY of the barn burner.

4 FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.
Five Negroes Blown Into Mississippi
and Drowned One Scalded to
Death and Sixty Others More or
Less Seriously Hurt.

Memphis, Tenn, June 24.-Five
negroes blown into the Mississippi
River and drowned and a sixth so
badly scalded that he died before
reaching the hospital, and from fifty
to sixty roustabouts, passengers and
officers Of the boat injured, are the
net results Of boiler explosion to-
day on the Mississippi River packet
City of ST. Joseph while abreast of
Presidents Island, six miles down the
river.
The packet burst into flames and
was saved from destruction by the
captain of the ferryboat Charles H.
Organ, who ran his craft alongside
the burning vessel, manned his pumps
and extinguished the blaze.
At the United States Marine Hos
pital, where the greatest number of
those injured were taken, it is said
that with the exception of Chief En-
gineer F. H. Morgan, none of the
white members of the crew or the
passengers were seriously hurt, in
juries consisting mainly Of painful
burns and bruises. Morgan was bad
ly scalded. Of the twenty-four ne
gro deck-hands brought to this insti-
tuition for treatment, nineteen are Sc
riously, the majority probably fatally,
injured.

pre-eminence of the section in the
number of growing hours, in average
rainfall per year and in the character
and variety of soils. An effort will
also be made to show the relation of
education to the agricultural life Of
the South and to define the attitude
of the South toward immigration.

denetd occurrence in this commun-

The Commission held that the ex-
press requirement that liquor con
;ainers should he packed IN corrugat-
ed paper cartons vas reasonable. but
that the charge for transportation
based upon arbitrary ~eights-eigh-
teen pounds for gallon OF whiskey
the discrimination against stone jugs
also was unreasonable. Commission
er McChord. who conducted the in
qulry and prepared the opinion OF the
Commission, points out that the in
dustry directly concerned Is that OF
the mail-order liquor houses 1T
was the spread OF the prohibition
movement" the opinion says, that
gave vitality TO this character of traf-
fic in liquor. With Statewide prohi-
bition came the interstate traffic In
liquor. The decision OF the Supreme
hot fu a. Ia
and therefore superior to interfer-
ence by the State governments gave
the industry tremendous impetus.
and the express companies as the
carriers OF practically the whole OF
this traffic.
Jacksonville, Fla, probably the
largest shipping point for liquor in
the South, sends out between three
and four thousand packages of one
or two gallons daily, or a total of
about one and one-half million gal
Ions a year. Chattanooga ships about
$4,000 gallons; Richmond, 546,72O
gallons; Petersburg, 26S,12S; Pensa-
cola, 267, 100; New Orleans, 255, $50 :;
Cairo, H.; Emporia, Va, Louisville.
Ky, Portsmouth, Va, and Savannah,
Ga, ship more than 100000 gallons
each annually.
The movement is much more active
in the South than in other sections Of
the country partly because Of the eX-
tent of the prohibition territory in
that section, partly because of the
large quantities Of very cheap whis-
key manufactured and shipped there
for the consumption Of the negro
population"
The opinion concludes with the
statement that although it is not the
function Of the commission to dwell
on the moral aspect of the question,
it is considered that the traffic has
an evil effect on and is one of the
important factors in the race problem
of the South.

Gently been conducting dairy in this

about two weeks ago, this evening
went to the home of his wife and af-

she rushed from the room fired three
bullets at her, all taking effect and
causing death instantly. She fell
across the door leading into the front
porch and her husband stepped over
her body into the porch, placed the
pistol to his head and fired, but the
bullet, it was learned, when he was
later carried to the hospital, only
went through the bone of the skull
and the wound is not regarded as
dangerous. Sandlin made a state
ment Immediately after the shooting
that he had done what he intended
to do. Mrs. Sandlin had been mar
