HERE'S A RECORD FOR You.
Farmer Has Bought No Meat, Flour
or Corn in Twenty-Eight Years.
(Anderson Mail. 10th.l


Il have grown 28 crops and have
never during that time bought a
pound Of bacon, q sack of flour or a
bushel OF corn" was the emphatic
statement made by J. 7. Robinson,
a successful farmer Of the Brushy
Creek section, who was I'm the city
on business to-day.
Mr.. Robinson grows fruit in great
variety and has built up his orchard
OF apples, peaches and other fruits
by proper pruning and spraying. He
said that four years ago, when he
first began to spray his trees, his or
chard was infested by insects and
was In rundown condition gener-
ally. His trees have shed their
rough, diseased bark and are now
smooth and free from disease. He
gives spraying credit for great deal
Of the development of his orchard.
This farmer insists OH his tenants
also raising food for their own use,
and does not allow any more than
the regular allotted number Of acres
to be planted to cotton. Out Of the
200 acres In his farm Mr.. Robinson
plants SO acres to cotton. 1t is stated
by those who know him that he did
not increase this acreage even when
Accent cotton was in sight.

SPANISH PREMIER is KILLED.
Assassinatod While Oh Way Home
from tho Senate.

Madrid, Spain, March 9.-This
city was Mortified last night when it
became known that Eduardo Dato,
premier and minister Of marine, had
been assassinated while returning to
his home from a late session. of the
Spanish Senate. Immediately after
the news was received in official
quarters, arrangements were made
to carry on the government until a
new premier could be appointed by
King Alfonso. The Count de Bugal-
lal, minister Of interior, will act as
temporary premier.
All trace Of the men who killed the
premier was lost in the excitement
attending the assassination. Imme-
diately after the crime had been
committed, the criminals, who were
riding in the side car of motorcy-
Gle, sped away and disappeared.
Premier Dato left the Senate
chamber at $50 o'clock and entered
his car. The machine was driven
through ;alle Arenal to Puerto Del
Sol and thence through Gale De AL
cada. A motorcycle with side car
carrying two men had followed the
premier's motor unnoticed, there be
Ing many similar machines on the
streets. When the premiers car had
reached Plaza Independence, near
Senior DatU's home, the motorcycle
increased its speed and approached
the side Of the premier's automobile.
at that point the streets are quite
dark, owing to the fact that a large
park borders on the right side Of the
Plaza.
When the motorcycle had drawn
up even with the automobile the two
men in the side car and the driver
OF the machine opened fire upon the
premier, 81 shots being discharged.
The whole tragedy was enacted in a
few moments, and as the last shot
rang out the motorcycle swung into
side street and vanished. The dri-
YER Of the premier's car, hearing the
firing, increased his speed, but the
premier shouted, ~ am wounded; !;
stop the car" The chauffeur found
the premier seriously wounded about
the head, but able to speak. He said
he was badly hurt. The driver leap
ed to his seat and drove to a dlspen-
sary on Gale Olozaga, nearby, where
first aid was administered. Senor
Dato was conscious when taken from
the automobile, but collapsed in a
few minutes and died while at the
dispensary. He had three wounds in
the back Of the head. The car in
which he was riding was riddled
with bullets. At session OF tho
Senate which the premier had been
attending, the minister OF labor had
introduced bill extending the pro-
visions OF the labor accident law to
agricultural workers.

To the average city dweller, par

business interests have criticized the
