GEORGIA LAWYER ENDS LIFE.
Scurlilous Circular Preyed Upon the
Mind of Albany Solicitor.

Albany. Ca, April II. w. Walt
ers, Jr., solicitor of the city court Of
Albany, one OF the most brilliant and
popular young attorneys in this sec
tion Of the State, shot and killed
himself this afternoon at the plant
Of the CocaCola Bottling Company,
where he had gone with his brother
in-law and friend. The theory of ac-
cidental shooting has been aband
oned, but the weight of evidence IS
that Walters in moment of mental
alteration, due to dependency,
which had been growing upon him
for several days, took his own life.
Solicitor Walters went to the Of
flee Of the bottling works with his
kinsman, n. r. Dehon, and |. c.
Brinson, an intimate friend. They
had been seeking to cheer him up,
but with little success. He and Mr..
BrinsOn had been standing together
in one OF the rear apartments of the
building for several minutes engaged
in conversation, and when the latter
finally turned to go into the front
Office, Walters went in the opposite
direction and entered closet at the
extreme rear of the building. A mo-
ment later the report Of pistol was
heard, and when those who rushed
to the rear Of the wolfs reached the
closet they found Walters in the
throes Of death with bullet wound
through his heart. The weapon used
was an automatic 3S-calibrc pistol,
carrying q steel bullet
1t IS the generally accepted theory
of Solicitor Walters friends that
brooding over an anonymous politi-
cal circular which was mailed in AL
hor 1oy Tt,n ~
for his death. AS reported in State
papers at the time, the circular made
a bitter attack on Solicitor Walters,
who was a candidate for reelection.
1t was a bungling appeal to preiu-
dice and an attack on the solicitor
for his zeal in the prosecution OF Il
certain class Of criminals. 1t ended
with an unprintable SANDER so
shameful and so utterly unfounded
that the whole community fairly
seethed with Indignation.
Every effort has since been made
by city and county officers, post Office
inspectors and others to discover the
identity Of the perpetrator of the
outrage, but withoue result SO far as
the public knows. Not the faintest
l'suspicion ltlie olicii
tors political opponent.
.. w. WALTERS, JI., was not quite
80 years old and was exceedingly
popular. He was son Of Col. Jesse
w. Walters, one Of the most promi-
nent lawyers in South Georr'a and
was himself wonderfully successful as
an attorney. His friends were legion
and his tragic death has cast gloom
over the whole community. He is
survived (besides his father and mo-
the) by three sisters and three bro
theirs. He was unmarried.

LEVEE BREAKS; FLOOD SPREADS
The Main IImbankment mt Golden
Lake Has Given Away.

Memphis, Tenn, April 9.-Advices
received at Memphis at 1.3O O'Clock
state that the main levee has broken
mile and a half north Of Golden
Lake, Ark, about SO miles north of
Memphis. The water is spreading
over a wide area in that section.
Forty-five townships will be partly
covered by water. The town Of
Marked Tree, Ark, will probably be
Inundated. The water will cover
parts of an area Of about 1,7OO
square miles, in which, however, are
some parts Of higher ground which
will escape the food. Whether there
will be loss Of life remains to be as
certained; but warnings were flash
ed over the telephone lines in all
portions Of the section affected in the
nope that the residents will escape
before the water shall reach them.
The break was in the main line of
the leVee, gap Of about 100 yards,
which collapsed with crash shortly
after ! O'Clock. The water then tore
aside the ends until at o'clock the
gap was reported to have widened to
more than 600 yards.

G. A.BURToN DIES SUDDENLY.
Stricken With Heart Failure at His
Homo Sunday Afternoon.

Last Sunday afternoon about $50
o'clock citizens OF Walhalla were
shocked to learn of the sudden death
Of g. A. Burton, which occurred n
few minutes before at his home ON
TugaloO street. He had been, ap-
parently, In good health up to tho
moment Of his passing away At the
time Of his death he was sitting on
the front porch of his home with
members OF his family Without the
slightest intimation that he even felt
Ill, he ceased talking, his head sank
forward on his breast and he was no
more. Heart failure had taken him
to the beyond Sin moment in tho
twinkling Of an eye" and tho news
OF his passing away was received
with deep sorrow by all who had
known him.
Claudius Augustus Burton was
born April 2Sth, 1853, in Anderson
| county in what is known rs Hall
District. He was SO years OF age.
| About 26 years ago he moved with
his family to Oconee and since that
time had resided hero and near
town. lc was an honest, upright
citizen, respected and honored for
his integrity by all who knew him.
On December 10th, 1877 he was
| i"ppis liul lIlcu W MISS Julla n.
Simpson, Of Anderson county, and to
| this union ten children were born,
five of whom survive. They are Mrs.
| lGssie Walters, Of Madison; Albert
G. Burton, of Atlanta Robert, Miss
Minnie and Grady Burton, who reside
with their mother in Walhalla. He
Is survived also by one brother, A. j.
Burton, Of Anderson county.
IN his death a good, substantial
citizen has been removed from our
midst, and there are hosts OF friends
or the family who will join with us
IN extending sincere sympathy to
them IN their deep sorrow.
Mr.. Burton was member OF the
Baptist church at his old home in
Anderson county. Funeral services
held at the church here Monday af-
ternoon, after which the remains
| were laid to rest in the Walhalla
Baptist cemetery. Services wero
conducted by Rev. G. s. Blackburn.

of an army officer, an old schoolmate,
and they talked ;.bout their school
days, which seemed TO produce sud-
den mental change in her.
A few minutes later, at Eleventh
and F streets, Mis-. Grcever vanished
while Miss Ryan's head was turned.
Search was made in the stores in tho
vicinity, but no trace Of her was
found. That was about $40 o'clock.
The police were notified shortly af-
terward, and the whole city, includ-
Ing the water front, was searched.
The next morning Rev. Mr.. Gree
yer, his brother, and brother-in-law
arrived to personally direct the hunt,
and they co-operated with the police.
Many cleWs were run out, but to no
avail.
The relatives remained here about
ten days and then abandoned hone
OF finding her here. They were in
clined to the belief that she had gone
somewhere to visit friends, TO get
uway from old scenes. From here
they went to Baltimore, then to Phil
adelphia, to New York, brooklyn and
other places.
Recently tho husband, in despair.
returned to his work at Columbia.
The other relatives quit hunting
about the same time and went back
TO their homes. But the police. and
churchfOlk went ahead with tho
search.
1t was recalled here last night that
just before leaving here for BaIti-
more Rev. Mr.. Greever expressed the
opinion that his wife had started out
for Tazewell to see her children. and
that something might have happened
to her en- route He did not think
or death. however, He thought sha
might have lost her way and wan
dered to some other city.
The husband was hopeful OF find
ing her alive until few days ago.
Her brother, Mr.. Bruegel, said last
night that he had clung to the hope
that she was still alive, and that she
soon would be restored to her fam
lily.
1T Is great relief in one sense"
he said, "but we all hoped 1t would
he of another kind"

GRACE MAY HEAR WIEE's TRIAL
New ran Citizens Believe He Will Re-
turn On Il Stlctchcr.

Newman. Ca. April 6.-That Eu-
gene Grace will be carried on a
stretcher to Atlanta an April 16 to
testify against his VIE IS the belief
Of many in Newman.
IT was rumored that in tie E:ent
Grace continues to improve as he has
since Monday, the prosecution will
have him appear against his wife In
the commitment trial. 1t Is believed
he will be in condition TO withstand
the trip, and, although Daralvzed
from his chest down, can undergo the
ordeal OF removal and testilying in
court.
DR.. Bailey, Grace's physician,
would not state whether or not Grace
would be carried to Atlanta in case
his condition warranted. "The situ
alton with Grace is difficult one,"
he said, land there IS no telling when
he will suffer relapse, although at
present it looks like he will improve
gradually between now and the time
Of the trial, in which condition 1t
might be possible for him to with
stand such trip"
If Grace is taken to Atlanta on
April 1G the entire trip will be made
in stretcher, and in it he will re-
main while in the court room.
lnG paTalyZcQ lower pOrllOn OF HIS
body, according to his physician,
probably never will regain animation,
aid it is likely he will linger bed
ridden invalid.
Although not abandoned, the plans
for an operation have been deferred
as an incision in the wounded mans
present condition is considered q
fatal step.
I'VE are content to let we'll
enough alone" said DR.. Bailey in
talking Of the proposed operation.
Grace spent restful day Friday.
He was cheerful and bright, and hop
ing for recovery. His condition Is
now better than at any time since he
was shot.
Confident of Full Recovery.
Newman, Ga, April 9.-Eugene H.
Grace not only firmly believes that
he will recover from his wound, but
he also thinks that some day he will
be able to walk again.
In spite Of the confident assertions
of physicians who have been closest
associated with him during the time
he has suffered from the bullet in
t,his ,bQdysNthe 4 wounded i, man. has
quieIy set aside the verdict ana held

ties does not look alike. A few years
ago Col. Brackett, who fills the place
of head of the Department of Pom
ology at Washington, d. c., visited
the Yakima valley and could not in
some cases name some well known
apples grown in that valley. He con-
fessed that apples grown there were
so changed in appearance by the sur
roundings that they did not look like
they did when grown east of the
Rockies. The conclusion I would
have our readers draw from what l
have said on this point is not to ex-
pect too much from me or any one
Else in naming apples.
By the way L may mention the fact
that in 1864, l lived a neighbor to
Col. Bracket at Denmark, Iowa, and
bought some trees at his nursery.
At that time he was prominent in
horticulture and seems not to have
lost his grip on that fascinating per-
suit. He must now be past 80 years
of age.

WALNUTS IN WESTERN WASH
INGTON.


G. A. Townsend, Snohomish, Wash.
writes under date of December GOTH,
as follows:
''Please give me your opinion
whether walnuts will do we'll here on
west slope and good soil; also
whether large cherries will do well
here and what three kinds of apples
would be best for this locality and
whether some hardy kinds OF peaches
will do we'll here.''
The main thing to be determined
in planting walnuts in any locality
is, will they stand the winters? l
am not an expert in the walnut bust
ness but my understanding is that
walnuts will bear anywhere provided
the trees live and grow we'll. L do
not think there is any danger of the
So called English walnut standing the
winter in Snohomish county, Wash.
l know that these walnuts stand the
winters and bear we'll in Clarke
county, WASH. about Vancouver, and
also in the Willamette valley in Ore
gon. The climate about Snohomish
is very similar to that in these Ioca-
tions. | think there can be no ques-
ton about the nuts ripenlng in
Snohomish county.
By the large cherries no doubt is
meant the sweet cherries. The Royal
Anne. the Bing and the Lambert will
undoubtedly do we'll in that section.
do not believe that cherries, and
especially the sweet varieties, are
raised as much in the Puget Sound
country as they should be.
| think if [ had to name three
apples for that region should de-
signate the Gravenstein, the King
and the Grimes Golden. There are
others that might do just as we'll but
doubt if they would do any better.
When it comes to naming peaches
for that section. am not sure that
| am competent for the task. Oc-
casionally some quite fine peaches
have been grown west of the Cascade
Range. During the Lewis and Clarke
Fair In Portland as nice Hale's Early
peaches AS ever saw any where were
exhibited from Whatcom county. L
do not think that peaches as late as
the Crawfords and the Elberta could
be depended on to mature properly
in that section. But the early peaches
will mature there. 1t is not at all
likely that peach growing will ever
become leading industry in any part
of the Puget Sound country. One of
the lessons we must all learn in order
to be successful in fruit growing is
to grow those kinds of fruit that can
be successfully grown in our own
section and stick to them.

ABOUT GRATING.

One of our subscribers writing
under date of December oath, makes
the following statement and asks
some questions:
''Being a subscriber to The Ranch
[ thought | would write you for
little information. | have about 200
Seeding apple trees which l want to
graft this winter. l was thinking of
grating them as they stand without
digging them up. What do you think
of the idea? [ have had pretty good
success in grating but never tried
that plan. have always cut my
scions as l used them. Do you think
it better to cut earlier and store them
until you want to use them? Can you
tell me what will clean the moss from
fruit trees?"
You can graft them as they stand
and then let them grow one season
and then transplant them to their
permanent place in the orchard. The
CRAFTS will make a big growth in one
year if the trees are left standing. If
the grating is done in the winter,
the scions can be cut as you use them
but if the grating is done toward
spring, I would cut the scions while
dormant and then keep them where
they will not freeze very hard and
will not get too dry. l would not
recommend top grating in the winter
but would prefer to cut my scions In
the winter when not frozen and keep
them till spring when freezing weather
is past before doing my grating.
The old rule among nurserymen is
"a thirsty scion and sappy stock -
If the scions are kept dormant and
not allowed to dry out, grating may
be successfully done as late as the
first of May when the trees are in full
leaf. I know this for [ have done it.
An ounce of experience is worth more
than a pound of theory.
The best thing know to do to clean
moss from trees is to spray with
strong solution of the lime-sulphur
wash in the winter or early spring.
What l mean by strong solution is
the lib formula. That formula
means one pound of sulphur, one
pound Of lime and three gallons of
water. These ingredients must be
boiled together till the sulphur is
completely dissolved. Instead of this
formula we may use the LID formula
but prefer the stronger solution for
destroying the San Jose scale or kill
| ing moss. Ii but little of the solution
| is needed it is better to buy the COM
pound from some reliable dealer, but
! if much is needed any one who is
careful and will follow directions
carefully can make as good sulphide
of lime as can be bought anywhere
and at ne-half the cost Of that bought
in the market. In our next issue l
will try to give explicit directions for
making the lime-sulphur wash at
home. We have been making our
own for number of years and have
