Rev, w. T. boiling Dead.

The friends and admirers of Rev.
w. T. Boiling, who are numbered by
the score from every walk OF life,
have learned with regret that he
died in Clinton, KY, yesterday. TINS
regretful information was conveyed
by Mrs. Boiling to A. w. Cheesman,
Eminent Commander of Ascension
Commandery No. 6, of the Masonic
fraternity.
DR.. Boiling had resided four years
in Shreveport, being the pastor OF
the First Methodist Church of this
city. From Shreveport he was
transferred to Jackson, Miss, and
then to Memphis, Tenn.
During his ministry in this city
he endeared himself to the people,
irrespective of creed. He was pos
sessed of broad views, was genial in
manner and companionable. Duty
was his guide, and he was ever
steadfast and loyal to cherished
principles. AS a Confederate soldier
his record is clean and true, nor did
the Confederacy have more gal
liant defender.
At the unveiling of the monument
in the court house square, dedicated
to the Confederate Soldier, he was
the orator, being invited and spe-
cially requested to deliver the ora
ton, which he did, as was expected
of him by his comrades who lovet
him for his manly yWorth.
In his death his mortal career is
ended, a life filled with good deed:
has been transferred to the realm Of
never ending blessednss, but hi
mmory will ever be cherished b!
his comrades and his friends. a..

An Armistice Probable.

The latest advices from London
would indicate that an agreement
has been reached on an armistlce
through which the war between the
Balkan allies and Turkey may be
concluded speedily. The Bulgarian
government has notified the other
governments of the Balkan league
that the terms of the latest note OF
the great powers are acceptable to
Bulgaria and asks the allies to as
sent promptly to the conclusion OF
peace. 1t is probable, adds the dis
patch, that an armistice will be ar
ranged this week.

SERIOUS COLLISION.
I. II. Reeves, His Wife and Children
Injured on the Highland Park
Line-MrS. Reeves Version.

At about $50 o'clock last night
car No. AZ of the Highland Park
Line cOllided at the corner of Egan
and Creswell streets with buggy in
which were Mr.. T. H. Reeves, his
wife and three children.
The version of Mrs. Reeves is cor
rObOrated by witnesses. In brief it
is that last night her husband, her
self and her three children were in
a buggy. Her husband is partially
deaf. He was driving. She urges
him to speed across the track. AS
he was about to cross the track she
saw the car coming at full speed.
He turned the horse sharply to the
right in order to avoid collision,
wyich seemingly was imminent. AL
most in an instant the car struck
and wrecked the front wheel. Mrs.
Reeves and her children were
thrown out ofthe buggy by the col
lisiOn, but Mr.. Reeves held to his
seat. Mrs. Reeves and her children
were more or less bruised, FORUM
ately not seriously. Mr.. Reeces' foot
was bruised. The horse had been
thrown to the pavement, but was
unhurt.
AS far as known there has been
no arrest or charge, at least there Is
no record of such action. Possibly
this is case where responsibility
is yet to be determined, but should
Mrs. Reeves statement be sustained,
excessive speed or the failure to
check the speed of the car may be
fixed as having been the cause OF
the accident.
1t is frequently evidenced that
some of the cars are propelled, as
are some automobiles, at speed
exceeding the limits fixed by law
and it is also frequently evidenced
that the drivers of some cars, as
some autos, assume the right OF way
over vehicles, and the only wonder
is that car collisions with vehicles
are not of every day occurrence.
The better and the saner polio!
would be to check the speed of the
car and the auto in order to avoid
an accident.

ASSAULTED AN OFFICER.
The Penalty Inflicted On the Offend
ers-Fine and imprisonment

About midnight Tuesday ponce
Sergeant Solomon was assaulted b!
Henry Walker and Paddy Cain, glass
blowers, he had arrested on Texas
avenu at Jordan street. The men
were intoxicated and boisterout on
the way to the police station.
Sergeant Solomon was seriously
beaten by these two men. While
down Sergeant Solomon fired sew
eral shots from his pistol ineffect-
lively. The two men were appre-
hended and jailed.
On being tried "Wednesday morn
ing in the City Court, Judge Blan-
chard, they were convicted of as
sault, each being fined 800 and
costs for the city and three months,
and $500 and costs or six months for
the State.
This penalty may seem to be ex-
Cessive, but the assault was brutal
and cOwardly; besides it was an Of
ficer of the law who had given no
cause or reason for this murderOus
attack.
1t may be pleaded in extenuatiOn
that the men were intoxicated, but
this is no justification. This pen
atty may operate as restraint on
individuals getting drunk and then
assaulting an officer or some citizen
of the community.

An Hliberal People.

Homer Guardian Journal: To our
mind the cane growers and those
interested in the manufacture OF
sugar are an exceedingly illogical
and illiberal people.
They denounce in bitter terms,
and brand as fanatics all those who
chance to differ with them on the
politico-ecOnOmical question OF the
sugar tariff; and a very small pOr-
tion of the people represented by a
small number of congressman as
sumo to control, even to dictate to
The American Congress and to the
President what the policy shall be
towards the sugar industry.
Not only is that a perversion
those who believe that the tariff
should be taken off sugar and other
necessaries and quote the President
and his Cabinet along with other
prominent party leaders as beine
joined in a wicked conspiracy to de-
stroy a great industry.
We have no doubt but what the
extreme position taken by the su-
gar people tends to make enemie:
instead Of friends for their cause.

DAMAGE TO
CROPS FROM
The COLD
ACCORDING TO The REPORTS
That Are Being Made Here
Now

While the full extent of injury ID
crops here by the cold weather of the
past two days has not been definitely
determined, the belief was expressd
Tuesday that the cotton crop had som =
what been injured. The young plants
are limp and lifeless in appearance,
but succeeding warm days may restore
them to former vigor. The young corn
has not been severely damaged, though
this crop, too, looks sick and sallo i
as the result of cold weather.
The tender peach has, it is said, won
out in another close brush for exis..-
ence, and while the crop in the Amer-
Gus territory will be small, there will
be some good peaches, perhaps the
third of an average crop. The cold
weather of the past two days has not
injured the young fruit very seriously,
the growers here think, as there was
nc frost with it.
The damage to oats is also consider
able, from all reports locally. That
rust has appeared in many of the fields
o Sumter there can be but little DOUBT.
However, rust is not general here as
yet, though it may spread over the
county.
Should the oat crop prove a loss
the farmers would be put to the nee
essity of buying high-priced corn, oats
and hay to make crop, as many nf
them are already doing. The oat crop
now growing, if good one, would
have been sufficient as feed for stock
until the hay and corn crops were
gathered in the late autumn
Sumter produces bumper oat crops
every year, and even the partial fail
ure of this great food crop would he
felt seriously 1t is yet hoped that
conditions may not result as badly as
now seems probable

Birds Commit Suicide,

hatched covey, after flying some dis
lance, suddenly and at one moment
