Strawberry beds should be cult

of which use 400 or 500 pounds per

Make small sowings of lettuce,

Dear Mr.. Watson: In drawing
your conclusions as to where the cor
porations get their yearly billions of
net profit, it seems to me you are
a bit in error when you say cit all
comes rom accumulations of others,
made in former days" We might
half around little and get it more
accurate, for instance: / am a gov
eminent employee; the lofty position
of rural mail carrier, and a princly
salary of 100000 per annCm, which
is paid in good money. But before
I can get it in my pocket | feel our
plant governments clutches upon
me, and it binds and holds me while
the manufacturers robs me of $500
of the 5000. Thus the government
becomes accessory to crime, while
there are plenty of cheap goods just
across the pond. Yours truly.

POULTRY POINTERS.

If any of the old hens ere used a
second season mate them to vigorous
cockerels.
Increase the corn allowance in
your evening feed during the cold,
damp and chilly nights.
Keep all of the best pullots and as
they mature and begin to lay dispose
of the poorer mixed hens.
Do not try to stimulate the hens
to lay more eggs by feeding pepper
or other hot stuff. 1t is bad business.
In localities where there are no
live worms or bugs for the hens
these days they must have as a sub
st1tute some animal food.
Incubators can be set without
much trouble, but it takes mighty
careful person to hatch the chicks
and then raise them.
Show time is in fall swing and the
wise breeder who expects to exhibit
is Gin line getting the birds into
condition. How about you?
The average farmer is not equip
ped for raising winter chicks on a
large scale, but if he has an incuba-
tor he will find it profitable to raise
a few broilers for the early market.
Where it is not convenient to clean
out the drOppings as often as several
times a week it is a good plan to use
some kind of an absorbent in the
poultry hOuse.-Borrowed

of the fatal quarrels are unknown.
Early in the afternoon, following a
brief controversy near Battles store,
Tom Burns shot and killed Gilbert
Tucker. The coroner assembled his
jury and was inquiring into the
shooting when a negro whose naEle is
unobtainable shot another member of
his race five times through the stom-
ach, death being instantaneous. There
was no apparent disturbance and the
cause OF the second shooting is some
what of mystery. The scene Of the
second killing was near Battle C Bat

Burns used shotgun; the second

COTTON ON EXCHANGE DROPS.
Prices of New Crop Options Drop Two
Dollars a Bafe-Heavy Short Sell

Prices of New Crop Options Drop Two
Dollars a Baie-Heavy Short Sell
ing.
New Orleans, La, July 25.-The
worst smash Of the session in the
cotton market came to-day without
any warning. The loss on the new
crop months, the principal object Of
exactly forty points, or 81 bale.
August, in which all that is left of
the solid crop interest is centered,
lost 80 points, or $3.50 a bale. The
decline was caused by heavy short
selling which hardly let up for min
ute during the day. Under the
pressure the market gave ground
steadily and on the way down stop
loss orders from those traders who
had gone long in anticipation Of the
now long-delayed reaction were con-
stantly reached. This sWelled the
selling. The market had next to no
support and what buying orders there
were came from shorts who wanted
to realize points.
The decline began in Liverpool and
that market was so much under eX-
pectations on the opening here that
initial prices were 8 to 10 points
down. Without anything that look
ed like a recovery or a reaction of
consequence, prices fell uatil on the
actual trading they were 80 to 40
points under yesterdays final quota
tions The close was IA to 45 points
down, bids and offers considered.
Short selling has been very free of
late, but in no such volume as it was
to-day. The gossip of the floor was
all bearish. In the early trading the
feature of the news was extremely
pessimistic claims made by English
traders. They cabled over that the
position Of cotton was being affected
by English politics, by impending
strikes and by the failure of Monsoon,
which was causing fear of another
famine in India. This was the last
day in the period to be considered in
the report on condition which the
Government will make on August 2,
and bearish gossip in connection with
this report intensified the effect of
the poor trade accounts from the 9TH
er side.
At times selling was heavy by out
side longs who came into the market
On the reaction theory.
Quotations on cotton are now sur
prisingly cheap when compared with
the price prevailing only a few weeks
age. From the highest of the season
there has been a drop of 256 points,
over two and a half cents pound, or
over $3.50 bale on the July deliv-
cry, the position that the bull clique
at one time threatened to push up to
20 cents. On the new crop posi-
tions the decline has been almost as
great, October having lost 22S points,
or $11.40 bale.

THREE KILLED IN GRAHAM.
Ed. Bryson Killed His Two Compan-
ions at q Gard Game, and Bryson is
Killed by Deputy Sheriff.

Waynesville, N. c., July 25.-On
last Friday night, in Graham Coun-
ty, at Yellow Creek, where Ed. Bry-
son lives, Elliott Bartlett and Tom
Frizzel went to spend the night with
Bryson. After supper they engaged
in a game of cards and played all
night, it is said.
Bryson claimed sixty cents, when
they said they only owed him thirty
cents. Bryson then said they were
not treating him right. Then one of
the others said they would have to
quit then, but they did not quit, and
played on till a quarrel arose over the
game, whereupon Bryson drew his
pistol and killed both Bartlett and
Frizzel Bryson then made his es-
cape and went to friends house on
Hazel Creek, about ten miles distant.
Deputy Sheriff Sherman jenkins
was soon hot on the trail of Bryson,
and located him at his friends house,
and while attempting to arrest him
he resisted to such an extent that the
officer with his 22-calibre rife shot
and killed Bryson. So there are three
men dead in Graham County over
cards for the paltry sum Of sixty
cents
