Western Union Foreman Killed
Knocked from a car loaded with
tel graph poles, J. El Davis, foreman
of a Western Union Telegraph Co.
construction force, was instantly killed
at 11 o'clock this morning about a
i mile from the railway yard at Eastover.
Davis and several other linemen
were on the top of a pile of poles which
became displaced while the train was
in motion. A negro standing near
Davi9 slipped with the poles and was
saved from falling under the wheels by
catching with his hands. He had a
narrow escape f >m a fate similar to
that which befell Davis.
The dead man was about 45 years
' " j i Ktt
Old. Utt oau ueeil cmpiujcu uj Hit
Western Union Co. for about 22 years.
It is understood that he was a native
of Korth Carolina.
Coroner J. A. Scott received a telephone
message at noon telling of the
accidental killing of Davis. He went
by automobile to Eastover to hold an
inquest.
Home Supplies and Then Cotton
. When I moved to the place where I
am now living it was very much dilapidated,
and my friends wondered what
I was expecting to do on each a place. .
There were 140 acres in the lot, 40 of
which were in Bermuda grass and
most of the balance in woods. My
farm today consists of 270'acres, with
three tenant houses, over five miles of
wire fence, 15 separate inclosures good
orchard and meadow that supply this
farm with all the frnit and hay that we
; want, and some to sell.
I have long since learned that the
farmer who makes money most raise
something besides cotton and com,
and he mast practice diversified farming
at all times. I have two plots from
which I get two or three crops eaoh
year. In fact, we have something on
them to eat and sell each month in
\
j tiie year. j

SHAKE UP IS COMING.
Reorganization of the Custom Service
Has Begun;
A dispatch from Washington -says
that a reorganization of the personnel
of the Democratic administration was
begun last Wednesday when Secretary
McAdoo of the .Treasury Department,
took steps to displace all the high customs
officials at the port of Philadelphia.
In announcing the action the
Secretary said: 4'It is considered vital
in the interest of the public that new
blood shall.be brought into the service."
Mr. McAdoo asked for the resignation
of Chester Hill, Collector; Perry
M. Little, Surveyor: Fred H.Vincent,
Appraiser, and Walter T. Men ick, Naval
Officer, all of Philadelphia. He
officially announced that the resignations
were requested "not because
charges have, been preferred against
them, but because it is deemed essential
that these places shall be filled bf
persons who are in sympathy with the
uurnnse and DOlicies of the Adminis
? . JT ? "
tration and also because it is considered
vital iD the interest of the public
that new blood shall be brought into
the service."
Treasury officials contented themselves
with the brief statement, which
was the first indication that a sweeping
reorganization of the customs service
was about to begin. Officials were
reticent as to possible future moves in
this direction bnt it is known that the
Secretary has his eyes on the Boston
office, where an alleged custom scandal
is being unearthed. Close attention
is being given to the general question
of reorganization in connection
with the radical redisricting of the
service on July 1.
