GROWERS REAP
SMALL FORTUNE
selling MELONS
l27 CARLOADS we're SHIPPED
As Crop Grown in Sumter
This Year

Mr.. Ben F. EASTERN, Sumter's mel
: on king, was in Americas yesterday
and reported the official close of the
most successful season of the melon
growing industry here. There was d
good crop of cubes; prices were sat
lisfactory throughout the season, AMI
as consequence the growers have
bank accounts.
Mr.. Easterlin stated that grand to
tai of 127 carloads melons had been
shipped from the Andersonville dis
trict, the main melon-growing sectio j
of Sumter. This number of carloads
was far in excess of shipments during
any previous year.
The melons netted, upon the aver
age, 500 per car on the tracks a.
Andersonville, whittier came the buy
ers in numbers. The fruit was thus
sold in sight of the melon patch, anc
there was no bareback in the way
of extra expenses, commissions or
other losses the growers are oftimes
required to stand for.
MIR. Easterlin sold several carloads
of unusually fine melons at $500 pei
car, while few carloads brought as
much as $3.50. The average price for
the 1877 carloads, however, was 500,
which made the total crop worth $12,-
700. 1t need not be said that the
growers were well pleased with re-
suits.
The Andersonville section has at
tanned national reputation for its fine
melons and during the Shipping season
many commission houses in the north
and west send representatives there to
buy and ship the fine fruit.

ONVERTS FROM
kNoW-N0T HINGIsM
MANY MEN ONCE IDENTIFIED
WITH BIGoTED MOVEMENT LA
TER CAME INTO THE CHURCH.

Not long since, in looking up the
history of the men prominently iden-
titled with the old Know-Nothing
movement, the writer, says Scannell
O'Neill in the Fortnightly Review, was
amazed to find that with but few ex-
ceptions, almost all of them either
themselves became converts, or gave
some one or other member of their
immediate households to the Church.
For instance, take Louis G. Levins
of Philadelphia, who is generally
conceded to have been the founder
of the Native American party, and
one of the first members of Congress
elected by that body; his wife and
family eventually found their way into
the Church.
Levin's intimate friend and fellow
laborer in the movement, William r.
Smith of Alabama, who helped to
shape the policy of the party and
for years represented it in Congress,
not only witnessed the reconciliation
to the Church of his wife and family,
but he himself, shortly before his
death, also received the great grace
of conversion.
Editor McClaugherty of Vincennes,
Ind, was still another prominent
member of the party to become a
Catholic.
Then there was Andrew Jackson
Donelson, nephew of President
Jackson, and Know-Nothing candi-
date for the vice-presidency of the
United States with Willard Fillmore,
who was destined to see his daughter
and her children enter the Church to
which he was so violently opposed.
1t is interesting in this connection to
recall that this daughter, Mary Emily
Donelson Wilcox, was the first child
born in the White House, of which
she was later the gracious mistress
during the administration of her
grand uncle.
There we're the convert daughters
of such leading Know-Nothings as
Horace Maynard, Postmaster General
and Minister to Turkey, under Hayes;
of Emerson Etheridge, member of
Congress from Tennessee; of Edwin
Cowles, the vitriolic anti-Catholic
editor of the Cleveland Leader; and of
Humphrey Marshall.

LETTER TO The EDITOR
THE REMAINS or COLUMBUS.
st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. IS, 1913

81. raul, Mlnn., Aug. 10, 1918.
To the Editor, Catholic Bulletin:
A letter from S. L. Theobald, in your
issue last week, states that the re-
mains of Columbus were transferred
in 1898 from Havana to Seville.
/ have understood for many years
that the resting place of the great
admirals remains has been matter
of dispute; but your correspondent
writes of the matter with the air of
one who is certain of what he says,
and perhaps he can throw light on this
interesting question Doubtless your
readers would be glad to know his
authority for the positive statement
that the bones of Columbus have not
lain on San DOMINICAN soil since
1896; for this is the very statement
which the people of San Domingo
dispute, holding that the bones re-
moved from their cathedral to Havana
were not those of the renowned dis
coverer, but of his brother The evil
dence they offer in support of this
position was sufficient to interest Sen
ator Ransdall of Louisiana when he
visited San Domingo in 1905, and he
has since tried to have the matter in
vestigated.
From the recent suggestion of the
Assistant Secretary of State Osborne,
referred to in Mr.. Theobald's letter, it
would seem that he, too, has become
interested in the question, and con-
siders the evidence offered for the be-
lief of the San Domingans as worthy
of credence. Doubtless Mr.. Theobald
is aware of these opinions yet seems
to be certain that the bones of Column
bus are now in Seville. May we not
hope, then, that your correspondent
of last week will be able to throw ad.
ditional light on this mooted question

RELICS OF THE SAVIOUR
ST. PETERS HAS A PRECIOUS COL.
LECTION OF RELICS OF CHRIST
AND THE APOSTLES.

No place in the world ought to hold
for Christians in general and Catho-
lies in particular a greater attracting
force today than the city of Rome.
The Holy Land, of course, has a
charm and an atmosphere all its own.
It is inspiring to traverse it's sacred
places, the memories of which should
instill in the pilgrim stronger love for
the Saviour.
Yet even the fortune of such visit
can hardly be more profitable than a
personal viewing of the precious relics
of the Saviour to be found in Rome.
Among those in st. Peters, known as
the Archbasilica of the Vatican, are
the following:
The Wood of the True Cross, the
Veil of st. Veronica, with the imprint
of the Saviour's Face, the Lance which
pierced the Side and Heart of Jesus,
the Piece of the True Cross kept i'm a
golden tripod which Constantine wore
on his breast in peace and war, the
ReliQuary and Wood of the True
Cross which the Emperor Justin gave
to the Vatican Basilica, two Thorns
from the Holy Crown of Our Lord.
some of the manger and hay OF the
Stable of Bethlehem when Christ was
born, finger of st. Peter, the Holy
Apostles Peter and Paul, some of the
bones of st. Anne, relic OF st. Paul,
the head of st. Andrew, the head OF
st. Luke. and many other relics Of the
Apostles, Martyrs, etc.
In addition the churches i'm the
Eternal City are in possession Of
twenty-five of the Thorns from our
Lords Crown Of Thorns.

OF COLUMBUS
cEIBA TREE WHICH SHELTERED
HIM ON HIS FIRST
VOYAGE.

On the river bank at Santo Domin-
go City, capital of the Dominican Re.
public, below the ruined city wall
stands the ancient Ceiba tree to
which Christopher Columbus tied his
water-logged and sinking caravals
when he sought refuge in the river on
his first voyage of discovery.
This tree, already more than a cen.
fury old when the discoverer landed
bears imbedded in its bark a leaden
plate inscribed and placed there by
Columbus, claiming the country for
the King of Spain. On the heights
above is the venerable ruin of the
Casa de Colon, the first building OF
European construction in the western
hemisphere.
The giant Ceiba is regarded with
veneration by the natives and is pro
tected under special act of the Do
minican Congress. 1t was known to
the Indians as the council tree and
in its shade the Spanish conquerors
signed the numerous treaties with the
then powerful tribes of the interior
which were always violated at the
first opportunity by the Spaniards.
OF these aboriginal inhabitants lit
tie is known, as they were practical
ly exterminated during the three hun.
dred or more years of Spanish domi
nation. Within the great buttressed
trunk of the Ceiba, hollow now with
age, there is room for half a dozen
persons to stand erect. Each year
the tree is carefully inspected foz
signs Of disease or decay and the trunk
white-washed to protect the bark from
insect pests.
