rows in the icy cold rooms are ths
carcasses of 400 beeves and hogs and
sheep in due proportion. In other
rooms, not so cold, are $50 tons of po
tatoes, and vast quantities of onions,
turnips, beets, carrots, cabbages,
yams. celery, tomatoes and other veg
etables. In yet other rooms are ten
tons Of poultry, and elsewhere are
boxes Of fruit without number. And
this enormous supply is daily depleted
and daily renewed.
Adjoining the cold storage plant Is
the bakery, in whose immense ovens
are baked each working day about
10000 loaves Of bread, 1900 rolls and
$50 pounds of cake. The coffee de-
partment, which roasts and sends out
about 100000 pounds Of the roasted
berry each year, receives the especial
| attention of Colonel Wilson, for he
is himself great coffee drinker. He

The people of the zone, white and
black alike, are very fond of ice
cream, and to supply the demand the
commissiary manufactures about 140,-

as one can get anywhere, and even
i. the third grade is mighty welcome

Cristobal makes nearly 10000 tons Of
ice year, the corned beef plant has

pounds of butter is handled by the
butter printing plant, all of the butter
being brought from the United States.

Beacon's existence.
Political parties have risen and
fallen, there have been times OF panic
and depression and times of pros
perity and plenty, but the Beacon
has appeared just the same three
thousand and ninety-seven times.
A newspaper cannot shut up shop
when things are not good, nor can
it usually reduce its expenses when
business is dull, but must plod along
lust the same. Should the editor
shut up shop and go away for a
week there would a howl that would
be heard from Maine to California,
and people who had never before
admitted knowing of the papers eX-
istence would kick the varnish all
off the front door in the attempt to
get their copy.

said that The Beacon was too mod

To Destroy Chicken Mites.

There are several preparations
for the eradication of mites. of
which two good ones are here
given:
Cresol Soap Shave or chop
one 10-cent cake of laundry soap
into one pint of soft water.
Heat or allow to stand until a
soap paste is formed. Stir i'm
one pound of commercial cresol
and heat or allow to stand until
soap paste is dissolved. Stir in
one gallon Of kerosene. For use
dilute with so parts of water,
which will make a milky colored
solution. Commercial cresol is
a coal tar by-product and may be
obtained from the druggist at
about 80 cents a pound. Care
should be taken not to get any
OF 1t upon the hands or face, as
1T will cause intense smarting.
Kerosene Emulsion Shave or
chop one-half pound of hard soap,
add to gallon of soft water.
place on d fire and bring to a
boil to dissolve the soap. Re-
move from the fire and stir in
while hot two gallons of kero-
sene. This makes thick
creamy emulsion which may be
kept as stock solution. For
use dilute with ten parts of
soft water. 1t is better to apply
it hot if possible.
Extreme care should be taken
that these mixtures do not come
IN contact with eggs that are
sold for table purposes. Eggs

Chester Negroes Held for Murder.

A Chester dispatch of Thurs
day to The State says: Dave
Davis and his wife, Anna Davis,
negroes, both aged 20. were ar
rested early this morning near
Cornweli, Chester county, on
strong circumstantial evidence
and likewise on the charge of
another negro, Buster Shealy.
aged 19, of the atrocious crime
of the murder of John Lewis, a
wealthy planter and recluse,
Thursday night. They were
captured by Sheriff Colvin. Dep
uty Sheriff Bindeman and two
detectives sent here by Governor
Blease, on the eve of their de-
parture. Their grips had been
packed and in a few hours they
would have been miles away.
All three of the negroes were
put in Jail this morning about
IL O'Clock, the Davis negroes
deny any implication in the
tragedy, but Shealy, the material
witness, says that they know all
about it.
A Rock Hill negro was one of
the main tools used by the local
authorities to unearth the evil
dence against the alleged mur-
derers. There is absolutely no
doubt in the mind of Sheriff
Colvin about the guilt of the
parties. 1t is thought that Dave
Davis did the killing with the
deceased's own shot gun and
then cleaned it out.

Rock Hills New Chief of Police.

AS forecasted in The Herald
Thursday, First Sergeant j. Nj.
Youngblood. of Charlotte, will
succeed U. M. Partlow as chief
of police of Rock Hill, said The
Herald Saturday. Mr.. Young
blood was elected at the special
meeting of council held Thursday
night, following the acceptance
by council Of the resignation of
Chief Partlow.
Mr.. YoungbSood is said to bear
a good reputation and to be an
able and conscientious officer. 1t
is believed that he will make
good here and give satisfaction.
1t has not been ascertained when
he will arrive in Rock Hill to as
sumo the duties Of his position.
but he will probably come soon,
as Mr.. Partlow has severed his
connection with the city and the
administration will probably not
care to remain long without a
chief Of police in charge.

April Weather.

The average temperature for
April, according to records of
the Charlotte weather bureau
printed in the Observer, WIS
slightly above SO degrees, which
is the normal or average tenn
perature for the month. The
excess for the month was but a
fraction of a degree day. The
accumulated excess in tempera-
ture since January is about 800
degrees.
One peculiarity about the
weather for the month Was the
coldness that prevailed during
the first part of every week
and the relative warmth of the
latter part. Every Monday
morning showed temperature
of "A degrees or lower, and
frost was deposited on two out
of the four Monday mornings.
The lowest temperature for
the month was Al degrees on the
9th, and the highest was S3 on
the 10Th.
The total precipitation for the
month was but 2.72 inches, this
being O.72 inch less than the
normal April rainfall. At the
close of the month there was an
accumulated deficiency in pre-
cipitation since the first of the
year, amounting TO 1.95 inches.
Practically all of the rainfall
occurred from the 7th to the
10th; during the greater part of
this period cloudiness prevailed.
The remainder of the month
showed d great deal of sunshine,
there being II days on which the
sun shone continuously through
the whole day. There were a
grand total of 263.7 hours of
sunshine during the entire
month, out of a possible 392.
! hours.
Light frosts occurred on three
dates, the 7th, 14th, and 22d;
these were thought to have done
but little if any damage to vege-
tation or fruit, most of the latter
being killed by the freeze which
came late in March.
In the past record of 80 years
the latest date on which a light
frost has occurred is June ]. but
only in 10 years of this period
did any frost occur during May;
only twice has frost occurred
later than May Is.

Big Reward for Negro Murderer.

Rewards aggregating $500
have been offered for the cap
ture of Richard Austin, the ne
gro desperate who one week ago
shot and killed three and wound
ed two other prominent citizens
of Barnwell county and then
made his escape to the swamps,
where posses have since attempt
ed to capture him. Governor
Blease Tuesday issued procla-
nation offering $500 and similar
rewards have been offered by
the towns of Allendale, Luray,
Fairfax and Hampton. The gov
ernor's proclamation specified
that the reware would be paid
for the body of Austin lust so
there is enough of it to be recog-
nized as him."
1t is the general belief that, if
captured, the negro will be
burned at the stake.

ITEM. Mr.. Rembert, who has
SSfrved Richland county in the

Che Blease forces, is an avowed
Candidate to succeed Governor
Bease.
He was present when Attorney
'Eeneral Peoples announced his
withdrawal from the race and,
0Fhile Mr.. Rembert has not COM

ifhe withdrawal of the attorney
general as strengthening his
Nchances for success. He himself
2said that he thought it too early
to be making positive announce
ments for governor in 1914, but
nevertheless it is known that he
pcontemplates making the race.
The other announced candi-
dates for governor in the next

CALIFORNIA SOLONS PASS
MO0TED ALIEN LAND LAW

The California Legislature Sat-
urday passed the much discussed
anti-alien land holding act, there
by bringing about what is said
to be one of the most unusual
conditions in the history of the
Nation. The act was sent to
Governor johnson for his sigma
ture. but the chief executive
will take no action until Secre-
tary of State Bryan has again
conferred with President Will
son in Washington.
The principal provisions of the
bill are as follows:
/. Aliens eligible to citizen
ship may acquire and hold land
to the same extent as citizens.
2. All other aliens are limited
to the specific rights conferred
upon them by the existing treat
les between the United States
and the Nations of which such
aliens are citizens or subjects.
In the case of the Japanese. the
bill prohibits ownership of farm
ing or agricultural lands, while
permitting them to own resi-
dences and factories and shops.
). Leases of such agricultural
lands by such aliens are permit
ted for period not exceeding
three years. There is question
as to whether renewals would be
lawful.
d. Aliens eligible to citizenship
cannot inherit land. Upon the
death of an alien land holder his
property shall be sold by the pro-
bate court and the proceeds dis
tributed to his heirs.
5. The State specifically re-
serves its sovereign right to
enact any and all laws in future
with respect to acquisition of
real property by aliens.
8. Present holdings of ineligi-
bic aliens are not affected, except
that they cannot be bequeathed
or sold to other aliens not eligible
to citizenship.
The futiity of Secretary Bry-
ans mission was shown in the
vote OF his own party. Nine Of
the ten Democrats voted contrary
to the advice which he brought
from President Wilson, while
not single Progressive yielded
to his expressed wishes.
Crops in this section are very
much in need of rain.

Asks More Pay for Rural Carriers.

"A bill increasing the salaries
of rural mail carriers from 81, 100
to 81, 200 has been introduced in
Congress by Senator Hoke Smith.
The increase is intended to cover
the expenses incurred by the
carriers in maintaining their
teams.
The senator introduced also a
bill increas ng the rate of inter-
est paid by banks on postal
savings deposits from 2 IA to 8
per cent per annum. The gov
ernment pays depositors 2 per

and it is estimated that it will
require an additional l per cent

Splinter" Writes Interestingly.

Today, the 9th of May, marks
the 10th anniversary of our pill
grimage along this route. Yes,
on the 9th of May, 1884, we first
saw the light in the city of Lit
tie York, down on Sugar creek.
The city was made up of just
three families at that time, those
,.of, John Coltharp, Mr.. Clarke
and James Johnson. Clarke and
johnson were merchants. john
sons stOreroom was IA by 16
and sheltered his family as well
as stock of goods. We remem-
ber to have seen Bill, a son of
James Johnson, few years pre-
vious to the war. He was man
who cared little or nothing for
old bacon after black berries got
ripe. For further information
concerning Johnson we refer you
to Uncle Joe Parks.
We are needing rain badly.
Some of our -neighbors have been
using whitehead cabbage from
their gardens since the 18th ult. ,
and our carrier advises that cab
bage are much better eating if a
chunk of bacon is cooked with
them. Of course, he means the
homemade bacon that has been
"stiSked," as the Irishman said.
This town meat is too pale-faced
and has just a little more grease
about it than a last years corn
stalk would have.
Brother Hyder has put new
dress on our boulevard of late
and you auto folks auto have
your dry-weather wagons run
ming while the sun shines. And
another thing you auto do, you
auto stop and take a gentleman
In with you occasionally. No
doubt but that would boost you
up some, at least it auto.
And now, these impudent, de-
spisable, abominable, filthy flies
have been introducing them
selves to>us and they are so in
tensely sociable and sympathetic!
May they live forever when the
devil gets them! And a stray
'skeeter came along the other
night humming that old, famil-
lar tune. If there is any Para.
disc for him. he is certainly get
ting it.
Mrs Lucindy Coltharp is quite
sick at this writing. Splinter,
