A tobacco salesman passed Mrs. Har ris and the cloud of dust that was raised kept lier from seeing ail ap proaching ear, also blinding tho driver, who was Mr. Gumbrell, of .Sandy Springs. Tho door of Mrs. Harris's auto mobile was thrown open and her mother, Mrs. J. W. Merrah, of Mt. Carmel, and little Alice Childs Har ris were thrown from tho car to tho ground.

Wol l t: ANO WINTER FOUGHT At Picketts Near Closing Hay* of Ibo Campaign-lind linen Brewing. Pickens. Aug. 22.-Attorney Gen eral Sam M. Wolfe and his opponent, D. M. Winter, engaged in a rough and tumble iistic encounter on tho outskirts of the Plckons Tabernacle, following their speeches at the State' campaign meeting here to-day. Tue I clash was tho first personal encoun ter of the campaign between candi dates and created quite a commo tion among a portion of the crowd of some two thousand people who gathered in and around the taber nacle to hear ibo candidates. lt seems that 'lie difficulty be tween Wolfe and Winter arose over charges made by Winter to tho ef fect that Wolfe had collected, or should have collected, certain fees that have never been turned into the State treasury. After '.lie two spoke to-day Wolfe met Winter on the out side of the tabernacle and advised bim that the charges had gone too far. and told his opponent he inter preted the charges to mean that he (Wolfe) had misappropriated the fees. Wolfe asked Winter if he would correct the charges, and Winter re plied that what he had said would stand. Wolfe was ja id to have struck Winter, missing him, whereupon Mr. Winter followed willi a blow to Mr. Wolfe's left cheek. Wolfe tripped or foll to tho ground as a result ol' the j blow, but Immediately jumped toi bis feet and clinched with his oppo noni, The two men went to earth, both rolling over and over on tho ground. Wolfe being on top when Comptroller Genoral Walter E. Dun can rushed np in an effort to sepa rate the two. So vera! others helped in dragging Wolfe off Winter, ami the light was over. Mr. Wolfe's face was somewhat bloody from the blow he received. Ho asked Hie peace-makers why they pulled him off just, as ho had gotten on top. in a statement made after tho occurrence Mr. Wolfe said he re gretted the incident very much, but deda rod he could have done nothing else in the face of Winter's cluirges.

F. Conrad!, entomologist, yesterday after the weekly confer ence in Director Pong's dui co on tho boll weevil situation. Other facts and suggestions developed ul the conference aro given below: Tho weather conditions are varia ble throughout tho state, . ranging from extreme wet weather in some localities to extremo drought in oth ers. In many Holds throughout the contral and southern parts of the State there is little! fruiting at this time because of excessive natural shedding, combined with weevil punctures. In dry areas in thc Pied mont section natural ?shedding is very heavy, although weevil infesta tion is comparatively light. Put thc falling off of fruit is generally at tributed by farmers to the boll wee vil. Much Crop Failure Duo to Weather, Not Weevil. The general wbnlhor condition* tl this time jeseinhle those of hist year, although tho .ame o-xl romes do ' not Oxis! in th? Kamo localities lu J every case. Thc weather damage at this time should not be overlooked by farmers, and every effort should i be made to get most careful and Im partial estimates of the percentages ! of their crop loss due to weevil and j thc percentage due to natural shed ding. lt must be remembered that, ! owing to heavy. coAuiuuous rainfall in certain sections of the Slate there would likely have been a crop fail ure regardless of tho boll weevil. This is important for the people to consider so thal they may not get the idea thai cotton can no longer he grown successfully. There were cotton crop failures on account ol' weather conditions long before tho boll weevil came. Hyatt's Assets Wore short. New York, Aug. 24.-Tangible as sets of Allan A.
