Curing Wilt With Dynamite.

OXFORD, n. G. May Is.--Tne Dur
ham Powder company is making
rather a. novel experiment Ia Granville
county. An effort is being made to
xiii the tobacco witt with dynamite.
This tobacco disease is one thing that
Granville claims the honor Of origi-
mating, or rather. 1t was first discov-
cred here and is now known as the
Granville Tobacco wilt.
Near Creedmoor, in this county,
where the disease Is more prevalent
than anywhere else In the world, the
State and National governments have
for several years been conducting A.
emonstration farm with the view of
studying and finding a remedy. The
Dupont Powder company offered to
send man to dynamite a certain area
to see what EJECT 1t would have on
exterminating the disease. This was
done yesterday and a large number
of people gathered to see the demon
stration. Mr.. Il. G. Moss, who has
been supervising this work. has little
hope that this win he of any service.
but thinks IT will help the land ar
he is willing TO try every possible
means Of checking this growing enc
my TO the tobacco industry in this
section.
This wilt has some very peculiar
things about it that have bafTled the
best efforts of expert government sci
enttsts, As an illustration. last year
"a car load OF soil from one OF the
worst Infected fields In that section
was shipped 10 Raleigh This soil was
put in sacks in such a way as to pre-
serve the original layers, the top soit
being carefully separated from the
astlest1li etaf sShar. ytseef ST. ts tivs'.s
near Raleigh care was exercised to
give the same arrangement In every
respect as in the original field. Plants
were then taken from bed in the
same community as the soil and
planted In this prepared field. Not
single plant In this new environment
was affected by the wilt, although In
the old situation over so per cent
died. In smaller way the same ex-
periment was made at Washington
with practically. the same result.
This disease is slowly spread ana
unless some means can be found to
combat 1t. the farmers in this county
will have TO turn their attention TO
some other crop.

ALIENATION
 OF AFFECTION
ONE DlvoRcEE SUES ANOTHER, AFTER ONE LIVED HAPPILY
 HERE NINE YEARS.
Most Unusual Case in California Court, After Mir. and Mrs. Lou
 Soyster Moved From This City.

From Los Angeles, Cal. comes a story of the breaking up of two fam flies. one of whom it is stated for. merly lived in this city. The story says:
 "A new record in alienation of af. lection damage suits was established when one divorcee sued another for comfortable fortune. as damages for the alleged stealing Of the heart of man, who is the husband of neither.
 "The litigants are Mrs. Lou Soyster and Mrs. Mildred Burgee. The man whose affections constitute the bone of contention is Samuel Soyster, To- cal stock broker, reputed to have an annual income of $12,000. Said affec- tions are appraised at $50,000 by Mrs. Soyster, who was absolutely divorced from him on assertion grounds, six months ago.
 Tt is the basic allegation of Mrs. Soyster thtt her opponent persuaded Soyster to bring the action when she, Mrs. Soyster, was seriously ill, and unable to appear in court. Accord ing to the plaintiff, she married Soys- ter nine years ago, at Hot Springs, Ark, where both had lived many years.
 Three years ago they moved to San Bernardino, where they lived happy until Mrs. Burgee appeared upon the scene, nearly two years ago. The com plaint states that Soyster left his wife at her home and came to Los Angeles, where he met Mrs Burgee; that they departed a few days later and visited many places before returning here.
 September 29, Soyster filed a suit for divorce in the San Bernardino court. Judge Bledsoe granted Soys- ter an interlocutory decree. Mrs. Styster was sick at the time, and did not contest"
