PINKSTON KILLS STUBS
A FATAL PISTOL DUEL IN PAR
ROTT BY MOONLIGHT.
Tragedy Grew Out of Bicycle Acct
dent Between Stubbs and Pink
stOn's Younger Brother.


Mr.. j. Clint Pinkston, a merchant
of Parrot, shot and killed Mr.. V. l..
Stubbs, a farmer of Webster county,
on the streets ofw PARROT late Sat-
urday night
News of the tragedy reached Daw-
son early Sunday morning, and Cor
Oner M. H. Marshall, accompanied
by Sheriff Turner, went to Parrot
to investigate it. Reaching Parrot
the sheriff summoned as a coroner'S
jury DR.. j. T. Arnold, Messrs. G. W..
Lee, j. H. Pritchard, j. n. Hardwick,
G. L. Marshall and H. l.. Arnold.
Evidence brought out before the
coroner's jury showed that the
trouble between the two men grew
out of a bicycle accident between
Stubs and Pinkston's young brother,
which friends thought had been am
icably settled. 1t appears, however,
that StubbS went to his home and
armed himself and returned to Par
rott, renewing the difficulty by at
lacking Pinkston as he was closing
his store for the night, swapping his
pistol three times in Painkston'S face
and firing once, the bullet severing
one of his thumbs After having his
thumb shot off Pinkston got his pis-
toll into action and put a bullet into
the forehead of Stubs. Stubbs liv-
ed until IL o'clock Saturday night,
but never regained consciousness.
After reviewing the testimony the
jury returned verdict declaring that
the shooting was justifiable.
Both Pinkston and Stubbs were
young men about % years of age
and unmarried. Stubbs was a broth
er of - - Stubbs, who is manager
of the Parrot telephone exchange.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The first annual champion debate
to be held at the local high school
will be conducted on the night of
May 25th at the high school audito-
rum. Interest in this branch of
school activity is at a high pitch now
since the question to be debated and
the speakers who will champion the
two societies in the contest have been
named The question to be debated
will have reference to some phase OF
government ownership of public util-
tiles. This will be limited so as not
to make the field to be covered too
broad. The speakers who will rep
resent the Ciceronian Society are
Frank Stapleton and Arthur Lewis.
Those who will champion the Lamb
da Sigmas are Ruth Finn and Mil
dred Yeomans.
1t is the purpose of the two socie-
ties under the guidance of Superin-
tendent Dukes to make the champion
debate this year a great success, and
place this phase of school activity
on a permanent basis. Already the
young debaters have gone to work
on the debate, and the great cham
pion debate of the high school socie-
ties will prove a great success in eV-
cry detail.

RALPH MELTON DEAD.

CITRA, Fla.-This little town was
thrown into sadness Friday morning
when the death of little Ralph Mel
ton was learned of. He had passed
away in the Ocala hospital, where he
was operated on for appendicitis on
Wednesday night. Little Ralph had
been complaining since Sunday night,
but went to school Tuesday. The
pain became so intense he returned
home. He never gave up, however,
until Wednesday morning. The doc
tors then finding he had serious
case of appendicitis rushed him to a
hospital. He showed much bravery
in going to the operating table alone,
little realizing death was on him.
He stood the operation nicely and did
we'll until the sudden change came
Thursday night, the death angel how
ering around finally taking the little
life to rest early Friday morning.
Ralph was the youngest son of Mr..
and Mrs. J. W. Melton and was eight
years old. He attended school and
was a favorite with his family as well
as his many little playmates. The
body was brought to Citra Friday af
ternoon accompanied by his parents,
and was then taken to their home.
The little snow-white casket, banked
with beautiful flowers, was placed in
the parlor, where it was viewed by
many until Saturday afternoon. The
funeral service took place from the
family residence at 2 o'clock, con-
Quoted at the cemetery by Rev. Part
ridge. The school children of the
primary department marched around
the grave, throwing in their last re-
mem brance, a beautiful bouquet of
flowers. After the little grave was
bricked complete it was banked into
mass of beautiful flowers sent by
the many relatives and friends. He
leaves a heartbroken mother and
father, three brothers and two baby
sisters to mourn his loss. To these
we extend a loving word of condo
lence. You will not alone miss
Ralph We all had to give him up to
our Father in heaven, who said
Suffer little children to come unto
Me, and forbid them not, for such is
the kingdom of heaven" Grieve not
for your loved one; he has gone to
prepare place for you. Many regret
that Wilbur, the eldest brother, was
in Cincinnati, O., and was unable to
get here. His aunt, Mrs. G. w. Do
zier, of Dawson, Ca, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Melton of Palatka we've
here for the funeral services.

erably with stable manure. AS soon
as it is about two fet high it will sup
port 30 or 40 hogs per acre for a
number of weeks, depending on the
fertility of the soil. Two of the
greatest mistakes made with this
crop are not having the soil rich
enough and covering the seed too
deep. To these also may be added the
failure of many to change the plant
ing each year. 1t is an exhaustive
crop, and should never be planted
on the same soil two years in success
sion.
ArtiChOkes.
This crop compares favorably with
sweet potatoes as a food crop for
hogs. There are some half dozen
farmers in the county planting these
this year, and the results will be in
teresting. They are as a rule very
prolific and require only a small
acreage. Their planting and fertil-
izing are about the same as for Irish
potatoes and should be done not later
than this month.
The hog crop is going to be large
this fall and winter, and should be
prepared for now. 1t behooves ev-
cry farmer to plan out a system of
crops that will enable him to feed,
lest he make failure.

Royal Kisses.

The kings and high officials of Flu rope when they meet always embrace and kiss each other, no matter what their relations have been in the past or may be in the immediate future. This is a kiss of respect. It may be given on the lips, the cheek, the brow or the beard and is nicely adjusted, ac. cording to the age and rank of the giver. From this close personal con. tact it passes through many forms kissing the hand. parts of the cloth ing and even the ground trodden upon, according to the idea of respect or fear inspiring the one who performs the act. The nations of the west have not adopted this ancient custom as form of salutation. but have reserved it for the more tender relationships of life.- Christian Herald.

CORK TREES OF SPAIN.

How They Are Stripped of Their Bark
 at Ten Year Intervals.
 An important industry in Spain IS the cultivation of cork trees. This tree is an oak which grows best in the poor est soil. It cannot endure frost and must have sea air and also some alti- tude. It is found all along the coast of Spain, the northern coast of Africa and the northern shores of the Mediterra- mean.
 There are two parks, the outer of which is stripped for use. The cork is valuable according as it is soft and velvety. When the sapling has reach ed the age of ten years it is stripped of it's outer bark for two feet from the ground. The tree will then be about Ave inches in diameter and about six feet up to the branches. This stripping is worthless. The inner bark appears blood red, and if it is split or injured the tree dies.
 When eight or ten years more have elapsed the outer bark has again grown and then the tree is stripped four feel from the roots. This stripping is very coarse and is used to make floats for fish nets. Every ten years thereafter the bark Is stripped, each year two feet higher up, until the tree is forty or fifty years old, when it is in it's prime and may then be stripped every ten years from the ground to the branches Exchange.

PERILs OF BAD AIR.
Reduced Vitality, Lose of Appetite and
 General Bad Health.

Reduced Vitality, Loss of Appetite and General Bad Health.
 Air is bad when it is overheated, when it contains an excess of moisture and when it is chemically contaminat- ed. This Is the conclusion of the New York state commission on ventilation as summarized by Professor c. E. A. Winslow. chairman.
 The first indictment against bad air shows that an increase in temperature beyond the normal 70 degrees pro. duces serious Arrangement of the vaso. motor mechanism of the body, result ing in a rise of temperature. increased pulse and lowered blood pressure, with a corresponding decrease in efa. ciency. both physical and mental. In addition to this. overheating conduces to an undesirable congestion of the mucous membranes of the nose, thus possibly paving the way for colds, sore throats and Attacks of various germ diseases. '.. ''--.
 The work of the commission also proves that chemical accumulations in the air as a result of air stagnation bring about decreased appetite for food. which. in turn. must have an un- favorable effect on the entire body. In the commissions experiments the people living in fresh air ate AZ to 13 per cent more than those living in stag nant air.
 These experiments,' says Professor Winslow, indicate that fresh air is needed at all times and in all places. While we have changed our ideas as to what causes bad air, ventilation is just as essential to remove heat pro- duced by human bodies as it was once thought to be to remove the carbon dioxide produced by human lungs, and it is now proved also to be essential for carrying away chemical products which exert a measurable effect upon the ap- petite for food. People who live and work in overloaded and unventilated rooms are reducing their vitality and rendering themselves an easy prey to all sorts of diseases.

WARR|NG ON RUST.
Problems With Which Iron and Steel
 Experts Are Wrestling.

Problems With Which Iron and Steel
 Experts Are Wrestling.
 This age of steel has reused world wide battle with rust. and more chem ists and other experts are studying pos sible weapons for this battle than are busy on almost any other industrial problem Concrete owes much of it's present growth to the difficulty of pro- tecting steel and iron against rust.
 Absolutely pure iron will not rust, and fairly pure iron will rust only slowly. One way, therefore, is to i'm prove the grade of iron. and manufac- turers now sell iron that is guaranteed to withstand rust for considerable pc riods. It is possible. though expensive. to purify iron completely by electricity. and electrolytic iron. as it is called, may before long be common commer- cially.
 Surface coats of protection are, how ever. the favorite methods of today, and many such coatings have appeared that can be applied on an iron or steel structure after it has been erected in much the same way that paint is ap- piled. Finely powdered metals-such as tin. lead or zinc, or all three in proper prOpOrtion-arem mixed in oil and painted on the bridge or column or other structure that needs protection. Then the painted surface is heated by a hand torch or in whatever way is most convenient.
 The oil burns away, and the pow dered metal melts. but does not run. As the metal cools it takes tight grip on the iron surface and forms a tin or alloy coat, which stops rust.-Saturday Evening Post.
