KILLED BY A. C.. l.. FREIGHT.
Julius DOZier Meets Almost Instant
Death at Orangeburg.

Orangeburg, June Julius Do
zier was almost instantly killed here
to-day at about 1.30 o'clock by a
freight train on the Atlantic Coast
Line. From what could be learned
Dozier was walking along by the
railroad track on the way to his
home, on Dickinson street, when
local freight No. $50, going North,
overlook him a short distance from
the crossing of the Southern and A.
C. l.. Though nothing definite is
known in regard to how Dozier was
struck by the train, it is supposed
that he either attempted to get on
the moving train or was not aware
of it's approach in time to get out of
danger. The conductor on the freight
was the first to discover the fatally
injured man.
The coroner held an inquest over
the remains this afternoon, and a
verdict was returned in accordance
with the above. Dozier was a paint
er by trade.

day woman from Clarinda, La, who

heartily, but Kinney did not, and af-

Kendall, of the Empress of ireland,
bore himself IKE a true sailor. He
retained such command of the situa-
ton, it appears, that while the Stors-
tad's stem still hung in the gap it
had made in the Empresss side, Capt.
Kendall begged the master of the
collier to keep his propellers going
so that the hold might remain plugg-
ed. The Storstad, however, dropped
back and the Empress filled and
foundered.
x Stood on Bridge.
Capt. Kendall stood on his bridge
as the ship went down. A boat pick
ed him up and he directed it's work
of saving others until the craft was
loaded. The captain was injured
but his hurts are not dangerous.
When day broke the rescue boats
had not returned from the scene of
the wreck.
People standing on shore at Father
Point scanning the harbor with tele-
scopes saw the rescue steamers pick
ing up boats in the river and pre-
pared to give help to the survivors:
They were sorely in need of aid as
most of them had on little clothing
and the temperature was near the
freezing point.
When they had been given atten-
ton the work of recovering bodies
was undertaken. The rescue steam
ers themselves had brought in nearly
fifty of these, and tonight, after they
had continued thir search, total Of
about two hundred and fifty bodies
had been recovered. One woman and
four men still living but unconscious,
were picked up by the steamer dur
ing the day. Few of the bodies had
been identified tonight. The wire
less is given credit for saving many
lives. Responding promptly to the
IS. O. S. call, the steamer Eureka
was on the spot approximately twen-
ty-minutes after the disaster, and the
Lady Evelyn but little later.

of the street railway earnings.
Altogether during the eight years
the city treasury has received from

Let Us Profit by Last Years Lessons

A good many of us who last year
were reading and trying to profit
by the advice of the experts inter-
preted the advice to cultivate shall
low in a very literal manner, and so
in the early part of the season, when
our crops were small, simply stirred
the soil for an inch or two in depth.
But as the season advanced we sud-
denly woke up to the fact that mois-
ture was becoming mighty scarce
and in our efforts to help the crops
found ourselves under the necessity
of breaking our fields much deeper,
so as to secure mulch of sufficient
thickness to prevent the loss of what
moisture was in the soil. In doing
this, however, following a period of
shallow cultivation, we found our
selves cast upon the other horn of
the dilemma. Our previous super
fetal cultivation had encouraged the
formation of the roots of our plants
near the surface, and when it be-
came necessary, to stir the soil deep
er than we had previously been do
ing, this was accomplished by tre-
mendous slaughter of roots, and our
plants were correspondingly injured.
There is no question that this deep
er blowing or cultivation was choos-
ing the least of the two evils; but
it was an alternative that would not
have arisen had we used little fore
thought in the early part of the sea-
son. We should have known that
this dryer weather comes nearly ev-
cry year before the crop natures,
and. that a deeper mulch will be re-
quired before the crop is matured
than is necessary in the beginning,
and should have provided against the
injury that always accompanies the
deepening of the soil mulch late in
the season.
So let us anticipate this condition
early in the season this year, and
establish the proper thickness of soil
mulch early in the cultivation, before
doing so will cause too much root in
jury. Remember that especially IN
the early stages of their growth the
roots of plants grow more rapidly
than do those parts above ground,
and that by the time corn plant,
for instance, is foot high, it's roots
will have spread distance of fully
two feet all around. So this deep
ening of the mulch must be done
quite early in the growth of the
plant.
Herein comes one danger of using
the harrow too long in early cultl-
vation. When the crop first comes
up there is no better cultivation nor
one so cheaply given than by the use
of drag harrow run QlaSondlly
across the rows. 1t stirs the whole
surface, kills young grass and weeds
in the drill as we'll as in the mlddles,
and gives the young plants splen-
did boost forward. But if the use
of the harrow is too long continued
we are apt to suddenly awaken to
the fact that the plant roots have full
possession of the soil at a very shall
low depth, and in order to establish
the depth of mulch that we know Will
be required later on find it necessary
to inflict considerable root injury
