SAYS WAR lnJUNES
MISSIONARY CAUSE

strong address before a large assem-
blage Of men and women at the Y NJ
c. A. gymnasium at o'clock Sunday
afternoon on The European War
and Ultimate Christian Civilization
The speaker was listened to with the
keenest interest throughout his dis
course and those who heard were In
structed. as well as entertained. by
the thoroughness and clarity of his
comprehension OF the subject and the
eIoquence Of the phrase in which he
expressed his views on the situation
which the struggle developed.
Rev. Fulkerson said that the war
was unfortunate for the cause Of
Christian missions in heathen lands
and would. In his opinion. set back the
work OF gospel eyangeiization in Asia

Influences Of the war on tbs educated

Christianity Is a failure because its
leaders and exemplare are engaged

among the more cultured classes of
natives in the far east. who are close

western nations.
Rev. Fuikerson. however. did no;
by any means take a pessimistic
view OF the war. so far as its effects
upon civilization is concerned. He
laid that good would come out OF

Rev. Fulkerson expressed the heller
that as a consequence of the awful

CANTALOUPE CROP
A PROFITABLE ONE
PROBABLE THAT THE ACREAGE
At CULLEOKA WILL BE DCCS-
LED NEXT YEAR.

So we'll pleased are the growers
with their experience this year that
the acreage of cantaloupes at Culleo-
ka will probably be doubled next
year. During the past season there
were about 100 acres planted and the
growers as a general thing made
handsome returns. Some of the best
growers made as high as 500 per
acre net, others made from $50 to $50.
In fact all of them made more than
they would probably have made from
any other crop. on the hundred
acres the growers received in the
neighborhood of $4,000, or an average
Of about eighty dollars an acre
There were twenty-three solid car
loads of this delicious fruit shipped
during the season. The pink meat
melon took the premium, there being
little or no demand for the Rocky
Ford. It is altogether likely that
next year the growers will plant the
former exclusively. In view OF the
drouth, which adversely affected ev
cry crop in that community but the
melons, the crop was especially prof
table.

LOCAL MILLS OFFER
TO TAKE COTTON IN
EXCHANGE FOR FLOUR
HAVE WRITTEN SOUTHERN GUS
TONERS THEY WILL ACCEPT
STAPLE.
At ten CENTS Per POUND THERE
There Is No Demand, Either, for
Meat From These Southern Cities.
Have Been Hard Hit by European
War and Its Effect on Market.

The Columbia Mill & Elevator Co.
and the City Mill & Grain Co. have
written to all of their Southern GUS
toners that they will accept cotton at
ten cents per pound in exchange for
-four at the market prices.
The Southern buyers are tied up by
the lack of money and have only cot
ton to pay their bills. Money is
scarcer than the proverbial hens
teeth and the banks have demands
for it far in excess Of their ability
to supply it. The local mills recog-
nizing this fact have offered to meet
their customers half way and to take
their cotton at $50 per bale in ex.
change for the -four.
The demand for meat in these low
er Southern states Is much smaller
than it has ever been. In past years
Maury county packers have shipped
large quantities Of hams and other
meat products to these Southern cit
les, but this year the demand from
this section Is almost nil. There is
simply no money there to pay for
these necessities. People are doing
without them who have always had
plenty.

J. W. DRAKE SELLS 1856 ACRE

PIKE FOR $1,000.

J. w. Drake, through the Figuers
Realty Co., of Columbia, has sold his
1876 acre farm on the Williamsport
pike to J. H. Mayfield, of Lewis coun-
ty, for $1,000.
Mr.. Drake will give possession OF
the farm on January l. He will
move to Nashville to make his home,
while Mr.. Mayfield will move here
from Lewis county to live upon the
place.
In spite of the war and other unto
ward conditions, the sale and demand
for good real estate is much better
this year than it has been for many
months. 1t is far better than at this
time last year.
Mr.. Figuers has just returned from
Mississippi, where he carried several
prospective purchasers of farm lands,
They were all highly pleased with
the stock raising and alfalfa lands in
that section, and 1t is probable that
several of them will buy farms there.

PROSPECTS ARE GOOO
FOR EXCELLENT CROP
OF IRISH POTATOES
FLETcH cLAWsON SAYS EARLY
FROST Is THE ONLY THING
TO PREVENT IT.
there HAS been PLENTY RAIN
The Crop in This County Is Lighter
Than It abs Been in Many Years.
Likely That There Will Be Good
Prices Offered for the spuds.

"The prospect for a heavy second
crop Of Irish potatoes this fall is
splendid" said Fletcher T. Clawson
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Clawson is
the greatest authority in Tennessee
upon the spud crop.
There is only one thing that will
hinder us from making a heavy yield.
This is an early frost, which will kill
the vines and stop the potatoes from
growing to their full maturity. How.
ever, If the frosts will hold of until
the 10th or 18th of next month. the
crop will be safe. I already have
some potatoes under my vines tnat
are pretty fair size. But we need
about a couple more weeks for the
crop to reach its full maturity.
THE acreage In Maury county this
year is the smallest in many sea
sons. In fact, do not rememhez
when there have been SO few planted
This is a great pity, as it seems that
this is going to be an unusually prof
liable crop this fall for the farmers
| have been rather lucky, as I have in
about 80 acres.
II do not know how the price is 60
ing to be, but at present it looks as
though it were going to be very good
If there is a corresponding shortage
at other points over the country, as
there is here, there ought to be a
strong demand for the spuds and the
prices for them ought to rule high

AUTOMOBILE RUNS
OVER CRAlGE BOY
IS NOT THOUGHT TO BE SERIOUS
Ly HURT AS RESULT OF De.
PLORABLE ACCIDENT.

As Mrs. Ernest McLemore was driv-
ing out West End Monday afternoon
shortly before dark, she struck John
Cnige, the II year old son OF Mrs.
Mamie Craige, who was playing foot
ball in the street. 1t is not thought
that the accident was at all serious,
and that his injuries will be little be-
yond few bruises and cuts.
Mrs. McLemore was driving slowly
in large Buick car. AS she reach
ed the junction of the Hampshire and
Mt Pleasant pixies at Joyces store,
young Craige and several OF his
friends were playing in the street
The ball fell from his hands and
bounced over into the pike in front
Of the car. Mrs. McLemore slowed
up and blew her horn, but the boy
seemed not to hear it. He was struck
and knocked to the ground, the cal
passing over him, but the wheels
missing him. Mrs. McLemore jump
ed out Of her car and ran to him as
soon as she could stop it. She was
almost prostrated by the accident
and had to be placed under medica
care and attention. The Craige boy
was picked up and carried home
where he also received the care OF 6
DOCTOR who dressed his bruises.

PRODUCE MARKET IS
ALL TO PIECES AS
RESULT CONGESTION
LOCAL DEALERS ARE UNABLE
TO FIND MARKET IN EAST
FOR STUFF.
FIRST TINE In their HISTORY
Decline Due to Wholesale Receipts In
Large Centers and Unloading Of
Storage Products by Small Dealers
on Account of Money Market.

Produce is cheaper in New York
City and Chicago today than it is In
Columbia.
The glutting Of the market In the
great centers, which set in last week,
continues, and the produce men are
almost in panic about the outcome
of the overcrowding of the market.
This condition is due, they say. to
the offering for sale by small dealers
of large quantities Of eggs and pro-
duce which they have been forced to
dispose of on account Of the strin-
gency of the money market. Thous-
ands of cases are being thrown on
the market, which, with the large re-
ceipts of the past few days, have fair.
|ly delayed the large centers.
One of the produce men of the city
stated Tuesday afternoon that this
was the 6rst week since he had been
in business in this city that he had
not shipped car of poultry to New
York City. The market there is SO
congested that it is impossible to dis
pose of poultry and eggs except at
give away prices. Hens are selling
there for nine and ten cents, spring
chickens at the same figure, eggs for
seventeen and eighteen cents per
dozen, and all other kinds Of pro.
duce in proportion.
The produce dealers see little re-
lief in sight for some time to come.
Prices will probably decline the rest
of the week, as there will be still less
demand for produce on account OF
the Jewish holidays which last for
two or three days. There is already
enough piled up in the large centers
to last for some time to come.
One means of relief that the local
men have had has been through the
South. They have been able to find
some little demand for produce and
consequently have been shipping to
this new territory.
If conditions continue as they have
for the past week, then some others
beside the cotton men have rather
tough time ahead for the new few
months.
