Onlytwo cars of cantalo be

today.
The cantaloupe crop here
was about two weeks behind
the crop at Blevins, due in
part to later planting, and the
Cry weather of the past month
has proven disasterous to this
as we'll as other crops.
Shipment of cantaloupes
from Blevins and other points
on the P. & N. w. Railway
have been heavy, the first
movement having begun two
weeks ago. Up to the first of
the week, fifty cars of canta-
loupes had been shipped from
Blevins alone and shipments
early this week averaged nine
cars day. Prices being OBJ
tanned are said to show fair
average and many growers
along the P. & N. w. will make

N'CASKILL BANK
IS BLOWN UP
Berry White, Aged White Man,
Arrested Charged With the
Crime.

The Bank of McCaskill, at
McCaskill, this county, was
totally wrecked by dynamite
Saturday night between II and
II o'clock. Lying in the ruins
of the wrecked bank was the
safe, which had not been tam
pered with, proving that rob-
berry was not the motive of the
dynamiter.
Mr.. Berry White, an aged
citizen whose home is
two miles northwest of Nc
Caskill, was arrested by Con-
stable John Honeycutt, under
suspicion, and commitment
trial was held at McCaskill
Tuesday afternoon with JUS
tice Walter Ely presiding. The
evidence, as adduced, was
deemed sufficient to bind Mr..
White over to the October cir
cult court grand Jury. The
justice placed his bond at
$10,000.00. Upon his failure to
furnish the bond, he was
brought here by Sheriff Dodson
and Deputy Jim Bearden and
locked in Jail. /,
The evidence as brought out
at the preliminary trial was
circumstantial, but the officers
say a thorough case was based
upon it. &c gsssai
Constable Honeycutt. who
lives about three-eights of a
mile from Berry White, was
passing the bank shortly after
u o'clock Saturday night. He
saw a man pass the bank
whom he belived to be Berry
White He rode on through
NcCaskill probably one-quar-
'or OF a mill southwark to-
-rrI Coff Chapel, where he
had been summoned. He heard
a terrific explosion and turn
ing back he hurried to McCas-
kill and saw the demolished
bank. White, as the perpetra-
tor, entered his mind. He hitch
cd his mule and climbing into
a car, drove to Whites home
end found him absent. He
waited about 30 minutes and
White came in the back way.
Mr.. White was arrested. A
hardware merchant of Nash
Vile testified that White had
purchased ten sticks of dyna-
mit0 a few days previous to
the time of the bank explosion.
A negro stated that Mr..
White had blown up some

CANDIDATES ON
SPEAKING TOUR
County Campaign Opens Up at
ShOUer Springs Wednesday
Morning.

paign for those seeking nomi-
nation for office in the Demo-
cratic primary election opened
at Shower Springs Tuesday
morning with a good represen-
tation of voters present. All
candidates were received cour-
teously and few personalities
were INDUCED in at the open
ing of the campaign. 1t is
freely predicted, however, that
the campaign will warm up
before a tour of the county is
completed, especially in the
sheriff's race in which there
are seven aspirants.
The main issue between the
candidates for sheriff seems to
be a rigid enforcement of law
on the one hand and a milder
enforcement policy, with a re-
sultant lowering of Jail and
other expenses, on the other.
There are seven candidates in
this race; they are: Jim Bear
den, present deputy sheriff (;
Bob Keel, ex-sheriff; Luther
Higgason, present circuit t
clerk; H. w. Timberlake; w.
A. Webb, d. B. Thompson and
r. A. Carrigan. Each was
given five. minutes in which to
present his claim a.
There are three candidates
for the office of circuit clerk
and recorder as follows: w.
P. Agee, present treasurer, F.
Y. Trimble, deputy circuit
clerk, and Arthur A. Gibson.
Five minutes was fixed as the
time allotment for these can
didates, under Mr.. Gibson's
protest, who contended the
time was not sufficient. The
audience was appealed to and
they sanctioned the action of
the chairman in fixing the time
limit at five minutes.
The candidates for represen-
tative were each allotted thirty
minutes in which to present
their claims andN most of the
four present consumed full
time. There are six candi-
dates for this Office as follows: /:
w. B Nelson, j. G.. Timberlake,
Hugh D, Clark, A. j. Robins,
j. NJ. Harper and F. c. Haw-
kins. Mr. Timberlake was alb
sent on account of illness and
Mr.. Hawkins was also absent.
The main issue in this race
is whether or not Hampstead
county will remain in the class
of counties which receive a di-
vision of highway funds on the
5asis of rs per cent for expen-
diture on roads as directed by
the county judge and 25 per
cent for road district bond re-
tirement or the county shall
be placed in the class which
makes a fifty-ffty division or
some other. The candidates
were practically forced out on
this issue and some declared
they would stand only for a
division on the present basis,
while others said they would
not be for change unless the
majority of the taxpayers pc
titicned for it.
The four candidates for
county treasurer were allotted
five minutes each and each
presented his claims within
the time limit. The candidates
for this office are: j. S. Mon
rec, John Hartsfeld, Willie
Harris and w. A. Moses.

dates addressed voters at

DOMESTIC HELP IN PRUSSIA
Employees Are Regulated by Law
Must Work 13 Hours Daily and
Have TWO Hours for Meals.

In Prussia, as in New Zealand, the
hours Of work for domestic help are
regulated by law. DOmestlcs shall not
be kept on duty for more than 13 hours
a day, out of which two hours must be
allowed for meals. On every second
Sunday and on official holidays their
work must cease at p. m. After nine
months continuous employment a
household employee is entitled to one
weeks holiday with full pay, plus an
allowance for board.
Furthermore, the act requires each
employee to have a "dienstbuch." in
which are entered the owners name,
age, appearance (backed up by pho
tOgraph), particulars Of former situa-
tions and wages received, together
with reasons for leaving" and "char-
acter." All these entries are signed Oy
the employer and officially stamped by
the police at each change Of situation
so their accuracy is indisputable.-

aaIn Shifts Ranch.

II is not often that a man goes to
bed at night with his property in one
country and awakens next morning to
find some Of 1t in another, but such Is
the case which has recently happened
on the United States Mexican border
An international boundary change,
in which a portion Of an American
ranch has become Mexican territory,
has taken place owing to the heavy
rains in northern Mexico. After the
waters Of the Rio Grande had sub
sided, Ben Kell, a Texas rancher'
found that the course Of the river
had changed somewhat and. part OF
his lands were in Mexican territory.
Ken is reported to have gone to
Reynosa, in the state Of Tamaullpas
to register the property now in Mex
leo.
