T recently paid a visit to the bat tleship New Mexico, which is the lat est dreadnaught to joint the fleet and the first and only one of any nation to have electrically operated propel- ling machinery" said Josephus Dan- iels, secretary of the navy, in recent testimony before a congressional com mittee. "On this account she has been an object of surpassing interest to thase of foreign navies as well, and to electrical engineers in general
 "The result was satisfactory from every point of view and confirmed the judgment of all who were in any way concerned in it's design and adoption. There was not the slightest mishap with any part of it, everything worked to perfection and the crew was as en- thusiastic over the performance of the machinery as is the department proud n the possession of such an efficient ireadnaught.
 "When we entered into contract for he machinery of the New Mexico, we stipulated that, in addition to being capable of developing the maximum power she should also give an econ omy at cruising speed very much SUI perior to that obtainable with the tur- bine installations that we had previ- ously used, and 1 am happy to say that this stringent requirement was also met. As a matter of fact, the New Mexico will steam at 10 knots on less fuel than the best turbine-driven ship that preceded her.
 "On the whole, I think the country has cause to be proud of this achieve ment in engineering, not alone because of the pronounced success in this par ticular instance, but because of the as- surance it gives us of the superiority of our capital ships to those of for eign nations"

Of the Community pOYS and girls who have reached the sopho- D more, junior or senior grades in high school usually have given some thought to the trade or calling they wish to pursue when school days are over.
 What the boys and girls in the Birmingham high schools have been thinking along this line has been given expression in survey made re- gently as feature of the Chamber of Commerce expansion campaign.
 Not only were they asked to state what voca- tions they expected to take up, but they were also requested to state their views as to some of the things Birmingham needs. These views were classified and tabulated with percentages of preferences f5r each vocation.
 Asmight be expected under the circumstances, practically every pupil stated as the first need of Birmingham, a high school building with ac- commodations for the thousands of boys and girls now or hereafter to be in the schools.
 Next in importance, to their way of thinking isan auditorium of sufficient seating capacity to care for the largest conventions and gatherings In these conclusions the citizens generally agree, and it is gratifying to know that some ef- fort is being made towards building both high school building and an auditorium:
 The various needs and their relative import ances as indicated by the expressions of the high school pupils, may be interesting to the citizens of Birmingham. In the order of importance, as indicated by the number of pupils suggesting them, these come in the following order:
 High school building ..s
 Auditorium. as@a@@~s esks s~eHns Good roads,

How Velvet Beans Help the Soil

A striking illustration of the value
OF velvet beans--that popular south
ern crop-for fertilizing purposes is
shown by demonstration held BY the
agricultural agent of jefferson Parish,
In INSTRUMENTATION the velvet beans
made the difference between success
and almost complete failure in grow
ing caulifiower. The agent reports
that the cauliflower plants on lanl
where velvet beans had grown were
four or five times larger and the
stand more than 100 per cent better
than on land where the beans had
not grown. In St. Helena Parish the
agricultural agent interested the club
boys in growing velvet beans, ami
one of them grew 5000 pounds of the
beans in the hull on acre. Several
men in that parish picked from their
corn and bean demonstration plots

UNUSUAL HOMICIDE AT
DEPOT IN SUMTER

@s W iStLh
Sumter, Feb. 19.--An unusual homi
eide occurred in this city early this
morning when Irby I. Baker, white,
was shot to death by his nephew, Will
liam M. Baker, at the Atlantic Coast
Line passenger station. From the
testimony adduced at the coroner's
inquest, it seems that the dead man,
who was fifty-seven years of age, had
been paying especial attention to The
daughter of William M. Baker, girl
of about eighteen years Of age. Late
yesterday afternoon the father of the
girl learned that Irby l. Baker and
the girl had left his home near st.
Charles, in Lee County, with the in
tentlon, SO it is claimed, Of cloping,
and that they were headed for Sum-
ter. and had planned to catch the a 80
train for Augusta. He and his
brother Immediately set out heavily

sible
| At Station Armed.
At an early hour this morning
Policeman Carrigan saw William NJ.
| Baker at the station carryinr q
double-barrelled shot gun and asked
him what he wanted, and he replied
ne was looking for an old man and a
young girl. The other Baker, it sub
sequently developed, had gone down
the track piece, carrying a single
parfclled shot gun to stop the couple
If they attempted to board the train
at the water tank. Just before the
tram pulled into the station ward.
lrby l. Baker, accompanied by the
girl, started toward the train. Upon
seeing them, William M. Baker walk
ed up and at close range fired a load
OF NO. 3 shot into the abdomen of
the man, tearing a large hole in the
abdominal cavity, and passing com
pletely through the body Officer Car
rigan, who had gone to meet the in
coming train, upon hearing the shot,
rushed to the fallen man and also
Immediately placed William NJ. Baker
under arrest. Irby |. Baker was rush
ed to the hospital but was beyond
human aid and soon expired He told
Officer Carrigan on the way to the
hospital that he wanted to tell him
all about the trouble, but he soo,,
lapsed into unconsciousness.
Brother Arrested, Too.
When arrested William NJ. Baker
had both barrels of the gun loaded
and also had his pistol loaded. His
brother was also placed under arrest,
and he, too, was deprived Of his rrn
and pistol, so it developed. L is

MICHIGAN PIONEER
 PASSES AWAY HERE

George W. Allen, aged sS years. pioneer resident of Michigan, died Thursday noon at the home of his daughter, Mrs. $. A. Pepper, at 2146 West Monroe street. The immediate cause of death was a stroke of paraly sis suffered six days ago.
 MT. Allen who was native of New York state, removed to Lawrence county, Michigan in his youth. His father was a pioneer in what was then a wild and unbroken country. There were no railroads there in the early fifties, all travel being by stage. MT. Allen cleared and broke the ground for his farm, using a team of oxen. He made his home on this farm for forty years. For the past twenty-two years he made his home with MT. and Mrs. Pepper and had resided in Phoenix for the last two years.
 Funeral services will be held Satur- day morning at 10 o'clock at the chapel of Moore and Mcclellan. Burial will take place at Greenwood cemetery.
