GREAT PICNIC IS
HELD AT SAWDUSl
THOUSAND PEOPLE ASSEMBLE {
AND LISTEN TO ELOQUENT
SPEECHES.

One Of the biggest picnics ever held
in the eastern section of the county
was that at Sawdust Valley on Satur
day, when the Sunday school OF the
Methodist church, the Junior Order Of
American Mechanics and the Modern
Woodmen joined together for a big
day. The people assembled beneath
spreading forest trees and the dinner
was spread on a corpet of Maury
county blue grass. There was enough
to have fed twice as many people as
assembled and there were more than
1000 at the grounds Everything that
the appetite can crave was there in
the greatest abundance. Eloquent
speeches were made by Hon. Hardin
P. Figuers, for the Sunday school;
Hon. R. s. Hopkins, for the Woodmen,
and Rev. Dr.. Finn, Of Franklin, for
the Juniors.

EXCITEMENT OVER
SUMMERTON MYSTERY
NEARLY SUBS|DED
MANY WHO AT FIRST BELIEVED
HAVE FORMED DIFFERENT
OPINION.

spelled Words-WhoIe Affair Soon
Over, 1t 10 Said.

The excitement over the so-called
Summerton mystery has nearly died
in this city. The people who at first
We're anxious and ready to believe in
the alleged spirit, have. upon more
mature reflection, expressed it as
their opinion that there was not SO
very much to the story. At present
the little girl with her mother is in
the country where it is said they
were called by the spirit to commu.
nicate with them in greater seclu-
sion than could be gotten in the city.
The chief Of paloce and the patrol.
men of the city are unanimous in the
discrimination that the unseen voices
shall not talk any more within the
corporate limits Of Columbia. 1t is
said that the communication with the
other world has been ordered stop
ped by the chief. It is said by the Of
fcers of the law that too much ex-
citement has been engendered among
the young Of the city, and that the ne
groes have been worked up to a high
pitch by the unseen spirits.
The people on the streets of Colun-
bia are almost without exception
skeptical as to the spirits, and many
believe that the whole town is being
made the butt Of a huge practical
Joke.
The notes written by the suppos.
ed spirit we're read Monday afternoon
by a Herald reporter. Although the
spirit claims to have been highly
educated man, and that the notes
were written by himself, the spelling
is in many cases ludicrous. Strange
distortions have peen made in the
English language.
II is thought by many that within
very few days that the whole affair
will be forgotten entirely, and only re-
membered with a laugh and shrug
of the shoulders.

PEACH CROP VERY
LARGE BUT SIZE
OF FRUIT SMALL
NOTHING LIKE EQUAL TO THAT
OF RECORD YEAR or
1914
PRICE IS ALSO MUCH LOWER
John L. Jones, One Of the Largest
orchardists In the State, Talks In
terestingIy Of the Prospects for
This Season.

While the crop Cf peaches in the
county is probably as large or larger
than 1t was last year. the fruit viii
not attain anything like the size that
it did in the wonderful peach year OF
1914. John L. Jones, one of the lead
ing peach orchardlsts nf. this section
of the state, and who has 40 less than
5000 trees on ninety acres, said To-
day that while the fruit was fine 1t
would not reach the size of the rec.
ord crop of last year.
Mr.. Jones has wide variety Of
peaches, from the delicious and delec-,
table Elbertas, which for flavor and
lusciousness are hard to equal, tc the
White Heath, used anlmost exclu-
sively for picking and preserving,
and the quantity is large. He believes
that there will be bigger yield Of
peaches than there was ever hsftse.
but the size is disappointing. not
much more than half Of what they
were a year ago. However, the fruit
u remarkable free from worms and
blemishes. This" said Mr.. Jones,
"is due to spraying at the right time.
My trees we're sprayed Just at the
time to kill all Of the insects and I
have not seen a dozen worms this
yeaf.
"No," continued Mr. Jones, "the
price viii not be as good as that Of
last year. In spite Of the big crop We
got fairly good prices last year, but
this year we win not be able to get
on the average over eighty cents q
bushel. That Is a rather low rrice."

Chief Of Police Tom Mclean return.
ed Tuesday from Edenburg, Ind.
where he went to get John T. Simp
son, wanted here on the charge Of
abandonment of his wife and chill
dren. The prisoner returned without
extradition papers. 1t is charged that
Simpson left Columbia without any
warning: that he left behind him a
wife and six children who were al
most penniless. The Kings Daugh
ters Of this city have had to take care
Of them since his departure for parts
unknown. His youngest child, ba
by, was sick when he left the city
and was removed to the Kings
Daughters hospital, where it rapidly
became worse and died. 1t is said
that lack of nourishment was the
cause of the sickness.
The officers have been led merry
chase by the fugitive. The first that
was heard of him was from Nash.
vile when he claimed that he was
going to seek watery grave in the
Cumberland river. 1t is thought that
this was merely to throw the officers
s-s- )
off the track, Then he went to Lou.
isvllle and from, there to Indianapo.
lis. From indianapolis his travels
took him to Edenburg, Ind, where he
is said to have spent much Of his
time with the Salvation Army. 1t was
at this town that he was captured.
While at Edenburg he wrote back
to his wife that there was no chance
of the officers catching him, as he
was smarter than the whole bunch
put together He said that an officer
had been to the place where he was
staying, and had inquired for him,
and that he had told the officer that
he had never heard of John T. Simp
son. He semed very proud of such a
smart trick. Ofiicer Mclean was dis
| patched to the scene, and brought the
prisoner back to this city He was
committed to jail on his arrival in Co
lumbia. He will be tried in a few
days.
Simpson formerly worked for the
L. & N. Raiuroad here, but was dis
charged a short time before he left
the city.
