BLOODY GUN BATTLE FOUGHT, j
Six Men Engage in Fatal Conflict in
Georgia.
Moultrie, Ga., Oct. 2.?At the old
homestead of the late Nathan Flowers
in the lower part of this county,
Bert Williams is dead, Wright Flowers
is dying, and it is believed William
Flowers is fatally hurt to-night
as the result of a terifflc six-handed
battle with rifle and pistols, news of
which reached here to-day.
Sheriff Boyd and a big posse of
deputies is on the trail of John Hart
and his two sons, who are charged
with the shooting, and who are at
large, fully armed. It is alleged they
took Williams and the Flowers brothers
by surprise, and that because of
" " .... kxffla
this ail tne casualties m me uou?
were on one side, the Harts, father
and sons, ranging against the three
men who were shot.
The trouble occurred over a dispute
about the division of the estate
of Nathan Flowers. He died leaving
no children and since his death John
Hart, who married a niece," has been
living on the place with Mrs. Flowers.
The Flowers boys are nephews,
while Williams married a niece. Since
Nathan Flowers's death there has
been a wrangle ove the estate, it is
alleged and trouble had been feared.
It is stated that the six men met
at the homestead and the quarrel was
renewed, the shooting ending the
dispute.
It is alleged that the Harts were
better armed than their opponents in
the fight and that some of the bullets
were fired while the defeated party
was in flight; since it is said that
two of them received fatal wounds in
the back.
No word has been received since
the sheriff and his posse left here,
but it is feared trouble will follow
the attempt to capture the Harts.
No Place for Etiquette.
Prof. Isaac Schwatt, of the University
of Pennsylvania, who, besides1
occupying the chair of mathematics]
at that institution adds to the gayety
of nations by his idiosyncrasies both
of speech and manner, is constantly
the unconscious author of stories that
delight his many friends and students,
says the Philadelphia Telegraph.
During the past year Prof. Schwatt
had a class in higher mathematics in
which all the students, with a few exceptions,
were men. It is the professor's
custom to lecture with a
large ham sandwich in one hand,
from which, to punctuate his flowing
periods of eloquence, he takes a large
bite. On this day?a particularly
warm one?the professor had covered
two large blackboards with
numerals and was starting on a third,
when he paused, and after remarking,
"Vimmin eggscuse me," pulled
off his cuffs.
Ten minutes later he again ceased
figuring and, wiping his steaming
brow looked reproachfully at his girl
students in the front row. Suddenly
he took a desperate determination.
"Vimmin or no vimmin," he shouted
"Isaac Schwatt takes off his. coat.

AIKEN ELECTION APPEALED.
The Protest Case Carried to Supreme
Court.
The Aiken county election protest
case has been carried on appeal to
the State Supreme Court as it was
reported it would be.
It will be recalled that after the
election had been held in Aiken county
on the dispensary question, the
prohibitionists protested and the matter
was carried before the county
board, who refused to hear them.
The case was then carried to the
State board of canvassers, who ordered
it back for the consideration
of the county board. The protests j
were thrown out by the county board
and at a later session of the State
board the matter was again presented.
The State board decided in favor
of the lgality of the election.
The case has now been carried up
the Supreme Court, which has ordered
that the State board of canvassers
transmit to the court all records,
papers and proceedings, in the
matter of the protest in the recent
[ whiskey election in Aiken county,
j Attorney D. W. Robinson appeared
before the court in behalf of the petitioner.
It is very probable that the
matter will be argued at the next session
of the Supreme Court, which
commences next month.

Armed Man Arrested.
Portland, Ore., Oct. 2.?Captain
Bailey and two local detectives arrested
a heavily armed man in front
of the Portland hotel just as the
president was entering his automobile
to participate in the military parade.
The man refused to give his
name, but said that he was from
Boston.
Captain Bailey was attracted by
the peculiar actions of the man. He
had a camera in his hand and was
trying desperately to reach a point of
vantage close to the president.
Summoning two detectives, Captain
Bailey placed the man under
arrest. When he was searched a sixshooter
was found upon him, together
with a quantity of extra ammunition.
President Taft is spending to-day
in Portland. The program for his
entertainment was arranged with a
view to the comfort and convenience
of the chief executive.

FEEDING NEW CORN.
Injudicious Feeding One Great Cause
of So-Called Hog Cholera.
Many farmers associate the thought
of new corn with "hog cholera," and
the belief is common in some localities
that the use of new corn will
cause the disease. This may indirect-,
ly be somewhat true, as the sudden
change to new corn is not unlikely to
produce a feverish condition. which
would encourage the thriving of any
latent disease germs. It is undeniable
that swine appear to be more
generally afflicted with the disease
about the time new corn is made use
of, but an examination might show
that such a condition is rather to be
expected. When the new corn is
given they greatly relish the soft,
succulent, fresh food, and, if permitted
to do so, will eat enough to
change their probable constipation to
J! 1 J i * V, o
acuie uiarrnea, tiuu put iucu m a
condition which invites other ailments.
Much of the so-called cholera
which comes in autumn is but the
diseased condition brought about by
a sudden change from a limited dry
diet to a plethora of the appetizing
new corn. The temptation to rush
hogs off to market before cold weather
approaches should not encourage
the farmer to make too sudden a
change in his methods of feeding.
When the earliest corn is in full
roasting-ear stage it may be given,
stalk and all, in moderate quantity,
without any change at first in the
usual feeding. As the corn hardens
it may be given more liberally, hut
by a gradual increase. By the time
the corn is fully matured the hogs
will have become well accustomed
to it.
Hogs that have had access to plenty
of green pastures are less liable to
be disturbed by green or new corn
than those previously kept in dry
lots. Where they have been pastured
on rape or green, succulent food
of that character, the risk is greatly
diminished. Pumpkins are excellent
feed for hogs about to be put on
green corn.. They supply succulence,
and their seeds serve well as a vermifuge.?From
Coburn's "Swine in
America."
Bernheim's Rebate Paid.
The Bernheim Distilling company's
$30,000 by way of restitution to the
State for over charges to the State
dispensary as a result of the attorney
general's and the dispensary commission's
activity, has gotten here in cold
cash and was to-day placed in the
hands of the State treasurer by Chairman
Murray, to be held until the
commission gets in position to distribute
all the moneys coming to it.
Dr. Murray is anxious to put the
finishing touches on the winding-up
business as soon as possible, but it
will be several weeks yet before the
money can be paid out.?Columbia

Disabled by Bumble Bees.
