~ ???MAN
MUCH SOUGHT FOR
BULLY HAYES AN OUTLAW IN AL
MOST EVERY CIVILIZED PORT.
Oeeds of Daring and Sharpnesf' Had
Made Him a Notorious Character
Throughout the Whole PacificAustralia
Most Angry.
Bully Hayes, the South Pacific pirate,
as he was called, was a frequenter
of San Francis?} harbor and became
the most notorious character in
the whole Pacific, says a writer in the
London Weekly. Over six feet three
Inches in height; he was possessed
of immense physical strength and of
this he was extremely proud. Ho was
also a handsome man, with bright blue
eyes, a strong nose, well cut mouth,
large mustache and long clustering
hair. The most marked feature in his
character was temper, which, when
once aroused, passed entirely out of
his control. In these moments of ungovernable
rage he became little short
of a madman. His smiling face would
assume the look of a demon, his eyes
became almost black, and his face
flashed to a deep purple. At such
times he would do deeds of the greatest
cruelty, not scrupling to take the
life of those who offended him. Possessed
of considerable culture, epeaklng
German, French and Spanish fluently,
his scandalous performances
had made him an outlaw In almost
every civillxed port.
Sharp lookout was kept for him at
Melbourne in consequence of an un
scrupulous fraud ho played there on
the occasion of a previous visit. He
had shipped 300 Chineso at Hongkong
for Melbourne. At that le a poll
tax of $50 each was paid by every Chinese
landing at that port. Before going
on board the Chinese had each
paid Hayes their $50, aB well aB the
charges for the voyage; but the knavish
captain had no thought or Intention
of paying over to the Australian
government the large amount he had
received as poll tax, amounting In all
to something like $15,000.
When the port was within sight he
contrived, with the assistance of his
carpenter, to almost scuttle the vessel
by making a large hole in the side.
In an apparently waterlogged and
Inking condition the vessel slowly
entered the harbor. Hayes then had
a flag of distress hoisted. Immediately
the pilot and a number of tugboats
put out to their assistance. When
they same alongside the captain shout
?d, telling them of bis sinking and
hopeless condition. "For mercy's
take," said he, "don't stop to tow us to
the shore, but Bave these hundreds of
poor distracted creatures by getting
them on shore at once In your boat.
[ care nothing about my own life. If
you will only save these poor follows.
Then, when they are on shore, come
Immediately for us. In the meantime
we will work away at the pumps and
try to keep the ship afloat."
Accordingly, the 300 Chinese were '
transshipped Into the tugboats and con- j
eyed to the nearest landing place,
which was several miles away. While ,
this was being done all hands were
put to work at the pumps. Then when j
the last of the Chinese had been taken
off, the bow of the vessel was
turned seaward and away went the I
hip with Captain Hayes and his crew.
He had managed to land 300 Chinese
and yet kept the {15,000 poll tux for
himself. It was a cruel business for
the pilot company, who had to pay the
poll tax themselves, and were nearly
ruined thereby. 1
Guessing at the Weather.
Texas Far Co-Oneration.
After the recent disastrous rains
in East Texas we may expect a large
number of volunteer weather prophets
to come forward and remark,
"I told you so." Probably some of
them did. Usually out of the mass of
predictions made about our American
weather every year somebody
the U. S. Weather Bureau does so.
But good guesses prove nothing.
The farmer who bases his scheme of
farming and plants his crops on the
strength of somebody's weather predictions
usually comes to grief. The
farmer who never puts all his eggs
in one basket and who has a system
of crops w hich, come wet or dry, will
make something, is the farmer who
doesn't worry about what the almanacs
says.
Fifty or sixty years ago when West
era Illinois was being settled, the
pioneers usually arrived in the
Bp.ingtime. Naturally, rivers were
high and frequently bottoms were
flooded. The result was every pion<>or
ahnnnpfl thp rlvpr hnllnma
and homesteaded on the higher
grounds. It to' \ but a few
years to show that the river
bottom floods didn't last the
year round, and when one season
some venturesome farmer put In a
field of corn In the bottoms and
gathered a big crop, a rush for the
bottom lands started. And the result
was that the man who went In wholly
for bottom lands had frequent years
of grief. The few who had some land
both on the parlrle and the bottoms,
got the season going and coming,
as they say.
So It Is the country over. Not
every man can have both upland and
bottoms, but In most years he can
hftvo n combination of c.rons which
will bo much safer than anybody's
guesses about the seasons or the
weather.

COTTON IN TEXAS.
Austin Hunker Say* It Will Hring in j
SfclAO.OOO.OOO.
Wall Street Journal.
E. T. Wilmot, president of the
Austin National Hank. Austin Texas,
and director in the Texas division of
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Hailroad,
is In the city and speaks with
assurance based on intimate knowledge
of crop and business conditions
in the southern half of Texas. He
says in part:
"Barring anything like severe
storms such as may befall the grow
ing crop of cotton between fruiting
and picking, our state will this year
produce no less than 5.000.00(1
bales, the value of which including
seed, will be $350,000,000. In Williamson
county, when I left home,"
he continued by way of details, "the
J bolls were just beginning to crack
| open and show the white. Specimens
which I saw, representing the
average fruitage of the stalk, had all
| that they could properly take care
i of, and that is the condition generalI
ly. Nothing short of violent storms
| to strike the country when the boll
I is open will prevent us from having
a record year. That part of the crop
planted in March will be ready for
picking within a week. The April
planting will be somewhat later, but
! none of it will be unuhually late."
Dr. Wilmot was asked about those
I sections in the south of Texas where
I rainfall had only been about two'
thirds of the normal. "We had been
! short of rain for about three years
[in Texas,' he assented, "but tnis seaj
son's distribution of the supply that
j came was noted for its timeliness.
One day it rained here and the next
j day there, in the same general district
until all but a few localities got
[the needed relief at the niclc of time.
| The result is tht we have a good allround
year in which the five main
crops of wheat, oats, forage and
corn, as well as cotton, have practically
been secured in unusual quantities.
Seldom has the state had a
year like this because it will save the
farmers millions of dollars in feedstufTs
for his live stock which he
formerly had to provide by shipping
in from outside the state."
On the boll weevil President Wilmot
is an optimist. "The weevil
proves to be a blessing in disguise,
having come when cotton was low in
price and the general market suffering
from overproduction. The weevil,"
he points out, "checked production
and helped to raise cotton,
which twenty years ago was selling
| at 3cents a pound. The reduction
in ncrence which followed the
! invasion was accompanied by enforced
diversification, better send selection,
earlier planting and improved
cultivation. It was the custom
before weevil time to lay by cotton
J as early as possible, but now the
better farming method keeps running
the cultivator through the rows
until the plant gets too big for mule
and driver to pass. That keeps the
soil loose and is most effective in accelerating
the rate of growth."
Regarding reports that cotton is
shedding under extreme heat in Texas,
Dr. Wilmot cautions the public
against taking any alarm. The plant
is heavily fruited, he avers, and
could not possibly bring to maturity
all the blooms and bolls now on it.
Shedding is the normal process of
eliminating surplus fruit, leaving
only what the plant can safely bring
to maturity.
Dr. Wilmot looks for bank deposits
to increase, as the result of
cotton selling, as early as September
1. Merchants are buying what
they know they can sell and little
else.
A New Way to Can Fruit,
Following is a little article entitled
"A New Way to Can Fruit,"
taken from the August Woman's
'Home Companion:
"Within the past year 1 have become
greatly interested in the pracI
tical bulletins sent out by the dej
partment of agriculture. The one
i which has been of raosi value in discovering
to me a new way of performing
an age-old duty is Farmers'
Bulletin No. 203, on 'Canned Fruit,
Preserves, and Jellies,', by Miss
Marie Parloa. It tells how to can
> fruit by cooking it in the oven.
"This method has in its favor the
| following points: (1) it is quick and
!easy; (2) the fruit remains whole,
and is exceptionally beautiful in
form and color; (3) the goodness remains
in the fruit, and the syrup is
not too rich.
"The jars are sterilized by boiling
them for 15 minutes. Into, them
while still hot. the clean fruit is
packed, and over the fruit a boiling
syrup is poured.
"For a eiven and actual amount
of cleaned fruit allow* half as much
sugar, and the same amount of water
as sugar, to make the syrup. For Instance,
if when your strawberries are
hulled and picked over you have
12 full quarts of fruit, by measure,
1 then make a syrup of six quarts of
sugar and six quarts of water. The
water may be poured on the sugar
either hot or cold, and it should be
stirred until the sugar is thoroughly
dissolved. Boil for about 15 minutes.
It is a safe rule to be sure to make
plenty of.syrup of these proportions:
for if any is left it may be sealed up
and used with the next batch of
fruit, or it may be boiled down and
eaten with pancakes. The syrup may
be made on the day before the canning
and be reheated while the jars
i nre sieruizea.
"I purchased at a hardware store
for 35 cents a piece of asbestos cut
so that it exactly fit the oven floor
of my range. This I slip in Just before
11 begin to fill my jars. When the Jars
I are filled with the fruit, and syrup
I has been poured in up to the neck of
the Jar, I set them into the oven,
which is fairly hot, not covered and
not touching each other. The oven
; is then closed, and they are left In
j for ten minutes, or until the fruit is
soft. The Jars are then removed, and
if not full, filled to the brim with
boiling syrup and sealed in the usual

On The Wrong Track.
National Stockman and Farmer. | ^
1 Not long ago a young man called 1 k
on the dean of an agricultural colle
ge and said that he wanted to enter ' _
the agricultural course next fall. The U
dean questioned him closely and
found that he knew nothing of farm
ing, had never done any farm work ?i r?and
did not think he would like to JJub"
do it. Finally it developed that the mmi
boy's natural inclination was toward
electrical engineering and he was this
promptly sent around to the school ^
of engineering. This is mentioned an"til
merely to show the necessity of helping
a boy to find himself before he cur.<i
makes the grave mistake of taking l*".
a course for which he is unfitted by SoI
nature and by previous training. I
Just now a large percentage of boys *
who enter agricultural courses are
from cities. Some of these will make
splendid students of agriculture and H
good farmers; others are studying
agriculture merely because it is
popular. Those who are in charge ot
ir educational Institutions should H
examine their students carefully in
order to prevent mistakes that mean H
much to the boys and the colleges
too.
Doctors Do Not Differ Always.
From the Laurens Advertiser.
It has been a long time since we
have seen a manlier statement than
that jointly published in the Gaffney
Ledger this week by two physicians
of that city. It required a great deal
of courage to do as they did, but
they must feel that a great load has
been lifted from their shoulders and
that a great deal of good will come
of it, in many ways other than the H
good example they have set. The no
tlce is as follows: H
"To our friends and the public in
general:
"Feeling that it was our duty to i
ourselves, our patrons and the pub- I
lie in general to effect a reconcilia- *
tion of the difference that have ex- M
isted between us and physicians for
the past four years, we have today
decided to forget and forgive, so far
as the past is concerned, and to work tm
