Mr.. Jno. w. Wallace
Died Monday Night,

The death of Mr.. John w.
Wallace at the city hospital Mon
day night came as a distinct
shock to his great numbers OF
friends. Although he was brought
from his home at Tupelo, Miss,
last Thursday and carried to the
hospital in a critical condition.
still there was strong hope among
his friends that he would come
out victor in his battle for life.
His vitality, however, was not
equal to the emergency and he
succumbed, surrounded by a
devoted mother and brothers.
The funeral services will take
place from the residence of his
mother, Mrs. Jno. w. Wallace,
at SCI Greene street, Wednesday
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock and the
interment will be in the city GEM
etery. DR.. Jos. R. Sewer, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church
will conduct the funeral services.
There will he a large number of
devoted friends to attend the
last sad rites.
The deceased was the second
son of the late Mr.. John w. Wal
lace and was in his Both year.
In addition to his mother he
leaves two brothers, Messrs. H.
Walker and Fielding Wallace of
Augusta.
There was probably never a
more popular young man in Au-
gusta than Mr.. Wallace. He was
reared here and it was only af-
ter he reached manhood's estate
that he went to Mississippi to
engage in business. Ever since
he left his native city he has
been coming back every summer
and spending a month or more
with his mother and brothers.
Mr.. Wallace is said to have been
wholesouled, genial, unselfish,
manly and with an irreproacha-
BILE character.

A movement has been started in Lon

the London county council be petit

who has been exploring history
writes: II have searched for records
of the years 13 B. c., IS A. D., 1900

which the world apparently slumbered

can not be called a disaster. The
year 1913 saw the beginning of Ma

and rather a good thing for every
body else. All things considered, l
think we may look forward without
anxiety to 1913, which opens with the
happiest auguries-a boom in trade

The engagement of Paul Gil
more and associate players at
Comus Theatre for May Ii, will
present the actor in a
big dominant role Of the type
which playgoers have learned to
associate with his name. THE
Havoc" is a tense, gripping
drama, built upon the story of a
duel of wits between an injured
husband and a treacherous guest
in his home. The big role of
the play, the husband, offers one
of the most convincing charac-
tiers seen Oh the stage in recent
years and is played by Mr.. Gill
more with quiet power and tense
nervous force. By the sheer
power of his acting he domin-
ates the powerful dramatic stu
atoms of THE Havoc" with
perfect ease, and during the
scenes that are softened by bril-
liant ironic comedy he makes
the authors satiric lines snap
and sparkle and burn by his
quick, nervous, crisp, decisive
tones.

Maryland ranked first and Delaware
second in 1912 in the packing of to-
matoes, and New Jersey ranked third.
The pack in Maryland aggregated
8, 800, 600 cases, as against 3,90O,
600 cases in 1911. The pack there
ran almost 1000, 600 cases more last
year than in any year as far back as
1907. The tomato pack in Delaware
was 1,40O,0 600 cases. The grand
total for the United States was a
trife more than IA, 600, 900 cases.
Delaware added materially to it's
pack, and if the season be favorable,
it is likely that this year it will
eclipse all records.
