is used in Peru today dates back to
the kings Of the first dynasty Of Egypt.
The plow the Peruvian spade and
the grub HOE, which latter is simply
crooked stick with an iron shoe. are
the three implements of agriculture in
Peru today No implement is found
to crush the hard Jumps of ground in
the plowed fields. This is done by the
women and children with short club
like ball bat. Corn is planted by
using sharp stick to make hole in
the ground Then the kernel is drop
ped in the hole and covered by push

MULLINS MAN DIES
FROM HIS WOUNDS
B. ID. Strickland Succumbs to Injury.
Shot By Frank Price.

Mullins, Nov. 15.-B. ID. Strickland.
a prominent merchant of Mullins,
succumbed today to wounds inflicted
by Frank Price in shooting affray
which occurred near the city about 7
o'clock last night. The instrument
used was a al calibre pistol, from
which five shots were fired, three OF
them taking effect, one of them pierre
ing his thigh, another the liver and
the other perforating his intestines.
The shooting is said to have grown
out of an alteration occurring on the
principal street. The two men were
neighbors. Mr.. Strickland was a prom
lnent merchant and has considerable
farming interests in Marion and adj

Frank Price is thought to have
caught the northbound train at s
o'clock this morning at Latta, where
he drove last night.
Mr.. Strickland drove to his home
and was met in the front yard by
Price. who approached within several
PAGES. 1t is said that before Mr..
Strickland had descended from the
buggy five pistol shots were fired, and
he fell from his seat in the buggy
to the ground, bruised and bleeding.
Other persons were standing by the
buggy when the shots were fired. The
shots came in such rapid succession
that no one tried to stop Price. The
shooting was followed by much CON
fusion. Some tried to conceal the
news from Mrs. Strickland, but she
had heard the shots and upon reach
ing. the front yard became panic
stricken.
Physicians We're summoned and up-
on examination of the wounds decided
to rush him off to hospital. A sue
ceSSful effort was made to hold the
passenger train. which waited % min
utes. Mr.. Strickland was placed on n
cot and carried to the station. and was
accompanied by relatives and friends
to a hospital in Wilmington The ply
sicians there agreed that life was too
far gone and at l o'clock this after
noon he died without being operated
upon. His body will be brought here
tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Strickland was well known
throughout this section of the State
by reason of his large volume of bus
mess and farming interests He was
the head of the firm of ID. +. Strick-
land d Co., merchandise and cloth
ing business of Mullins. which has
been operating successfully for many
years. He was prominently connect
ed with fraternal organizations. being
a member of the Knights of Pythias.

Mr.. Strickland is survived by his
wife and young child.
