A special dispatch from Charlotte
to tho Coiumbik Record says Mr
W. L. Fsidor, a weil known holi
ness man of St. Matthews, 8. C..
was abet In the left arm and side
st the Southern passenger station
there Tuesday morulag by Harry
Jonsa, an express messenger.
Mystery surrounds the affair, no
provocation or excuse for the ahoot-
lag being given by either Jonea or
Felder. The abooting took place
at 2:30 o clo k Tuesday morning,
shortly after the arrival there of
train 39, and was witnessed by two
other express messengers, who de
nied say knowledge of the affair
at first, but afterwards told about
it after they were arrested. Felder,
who is not, it ia hoped, dangerously
wounded, is in the Presbyterian hos
pital. Jonea is in Jail, where he will
be held for the preliminary trial.
The Record gives the following
particulars of the shooting:
The first person to reach Mr. Fel
der was Capt. F. B. Flshburn of
Columbia, while Dr. A. B. Knowlten
il^olumbia was also near aad gave
the wounded man prompt medical
mention. The shooting occurred ai

2:45 a. m. Mr Felder, aa well as
Capt. Flshburne and Dr. Knowlton.
was at the station expecting to come
to Columbia on Southern railway
train No. 29. due to leave Charlotte
at 3:30 a. m. While in the lunch
room Capt. Flshburne had been talk
ng with Mr. Felder, but left and
vent into the combination baggage
car to lie down.
Mr. Felder, It seems, walked up
to the door of the express car,
where the express messenger was
checking np his express with the
negro porter, and It is said that Mr.
Felier asked if he could get aboard
the car. as the pasaenger coaehs had
not been opened and It was cold out-

them is not known, except that Mr.
Felder stated afterwards that he was

ier from Sumter says "Since the
closing of the Stats dispensary in
Sumter oa the 15 th of November,
the liquor handling business of the
Southern ExpiWes Company has
reached such large proportions that
It waa found Impossible to handle
the large shipments of liquor at
the regular office. Hundreds of
packages 'for personal use* come in
oh every train. The local manager
of the express company has been
forced to open up a ‘booze sub-sta
tion’ oa West Liberty street for ths
delivery of packages of liquor ‘to be
called for.’ The liquors for Imme-1
diate delivery ere still handled In
the regular way. The sub-station
threw open its doors to the thirsty
pnblle Wednesday with a stock on
hand that would fairly rival the old
grog shop, the county dispensary.
The floor of the store building was
literally covered with packages of
liquor of various sixes, shapes and
quality, heralding the advent of
another great moral Institution.. It
certainly seems that legislative pro

Hugh Cannon, who wrote "Goo
Gop Eyes,” “Ain’t That a Shame, ’
Bill Bailey” and other classics of
ragtime, was sent to the Elolse poor
house at Detroit Tuesday at the age
of thirty-six. He told the pathetic
story of his life In short, expressive
sentences. “I quit coke easy,” he
said. “I hit the pipe in New York
for a year and stopped that. I went
up against morphine hard and quit,
but booze, red, oily booze, that’s got
me for keeps. Except for seven
months on the water wagon, I’ve
been pickled tTm#."
That the recent remarkable in
crease in prison population In New
York state Is due largely to the
Influx of immigrants into the state,
is the conclusion of C. V. Collins,
superintendent of state prisons, who,
in his annual report to the legisla
ture, suggests that the federal gov
ernment, which permits these alien
criminals to land on Its shores,
should assume the burden of main
talning them till they have served
their sentence when they should be
deported and never allowed to re
turn. A census of 4,320 prisoners
in Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton
prisons, showed that 1,091 or 25
per cent were aliens.

SAYS WOMEN ROBBED HIM.
A New York Ranker Deapoiled of
Big Amount of ('ash.
In New York Wedueaday night
Warner M. Van Norden, the banke-
and president of the Van Norden
Trust Company, was robbed of 928,•
000 as he was leaving the Waldorf-
Astoria.
With the arraignment a few days
ago of Bessie Roberts, alias Kitty
Dowell, of Chicago, and Annie
Williams, alias “Chicago Maggie. ’
the story was made public.
Mr. Van Norden saw two women
walking along Fifth avenue. One
dropped a pocketbook and Mr. Van
Norden politely picked it up and re
turned it to her.
A hearty slap on the hack was the
somewhat startling and unconven
tional manner in which one of the
women signalized her thanks. There
was a profusion of thanks and bows
and one of the women fainted sud
denly on Mr. Van Norden’s shoul
der.
The woman revived and a few
minutes later Mr. Van Norden misl
ed the 928,000. The women were
held in 930,000 bonds.

Farmers’ Bulletin No. 124, U. 8
Dept. of Agriculture, says: "All
the applications of lime increased the
yields • • The best yields were
obtained with the lime in the form
of carbonate, the finely ground oye-
ter shells standing first • • Lime
with fertilizer was more profitable
than depending upon fertilizer
alone.”
This new fertilizer which present*

shells and using a burner that can
supply potash. The result is a high
grade fertilizer costing the consum
er only 97.00 per ton. It reclaim*
