DOCTOR SHOOTS CASHIER.
i
H. W. Shaw Wounds Thomas S. Gray! J
in Augusta.
Augusta, Oct. 7.?H. W. Shaw, a
local physician, at 2:30 p. m. to-day c
shot Thomas S. Gray, cashier of the I
Union Savings hank. Four shots C
were fired, two taking effect on the f
t left side and one in the fleshy part of f
the left leg. C. Penrose, the city at- c
torney, also the attorney of the bank a
named seized Shaw sending two c
of the shots wild and saving Gray c
from further wounds. Gray to-night c
is at a local hospital and is doing f
well. There is no likelihood of se*
rious results from the wounds them- t
selves. Gray is one of the most r
prominent of the younger men of 1
Augusta. He is a brother of State c
Railroad Commissioner Gray. c
, Shaw surreptitiously ascertained c
from the bank information that a r
customer there had a credit to his
account. Using this information
Shaw garnisheed the account. Gray "
over the telephone denounced Shaw
for the manner in which he ascertained
the information on which he c
proceeded in the garnishment matter. ^
He met Gray on the sidewalk. Gray T
moved towards Shaw, Shaw drawing c
y his pistol and firing on the banker. ^
The affair has caused an intense sen- f
8ation here. i
Shaw was at first liberated on bond, \
but later the sheriff held him with- c
oat bail. ^

opened one of these patent cans. His

* Two Cotton Harvesters. 1
Bennettsville, Oct. 7.?The demon- f
stration of the cotton harvester, j
which was to have been made here a
about the first of this month, has t
k been delayed on account of a fire in r
the machine shops of the construe- c
tion company. It will be several days j
yet before the trial will be made. e
Mr. Theodore Price and associates
will come to Bennettsville about the
10th of this month and the test of
the cotton picker will be made be- ^
tween that day and the 15th. v
I The machine will be tried on Sena- ?
tor McL&urin's "Irby place" in the s
upper part of the county, where o
about 100 acres of cotton have been "v
^ reserved. A number of other North- ?
erners will be with Mr. Price, for the ?
machine was operated in Texas last d
year and it is said that strong flnan- i
cial interests are backing it. f
Marlboro county, however, already u
has a cotton picker in the field. The ?
inventor, Mr. J. M. Brasington of this 1
* - place, .has allowed a few friends to u
see his machine while at work. Yes- i1
terday afternoon on the plantation t
of Messrs. Evans, brothers, he gave 1
f an exhibition and in a few days he
r ^ill be ready to put it to a test. Those n
who saw it at work are favorably f
impressed with it nd think that a
Mr. Brasington will succeed. Possi- t
/ bly both of these harvesters will be c
exhibited at the same time. a

>ome Hard Work You and Your Wife
Should Stop Doing.
Many farmers in the South have no
onception of the value of labor,
rhat is, they have no real idea as to
pbat a day's labor should accomplish
>n the farm. People in other secions
often claim that the Southern
armer is lazy. As a matter'of fact,
le probably does more muscular la>or
than the farmer In any Western
>r Northwestern State. He not only
porks hard, but he is wasteful ol
lard work, works hard unnecessarily,
md goes out of his way to do hard
pork even when it would pay better
o do the work in easier fashion.
I.
Consider a moment. In a late is;ue
we told of seeing ten one-horse
>lows in operation last spring to one
wo-horse plow. To do as much
ilowing with the one-horse plow as
pith the two-horse plow, the men
pho follow these plows have to do
wice as much work. It probably
ook them one and one-half times as
one to eet over the same amount of
and as it would have taken them
vith good plows. Here is a sheer
md an enormous waste of labor?an
ibsolute waste of labor, because
hese men who are doing this walking
ire spending this time unnecssarily,
mtting their labor against that of
lorses and mules. Man is supposed
o be an intelligent being and able to
lirect the efforts of his work stock,
>ut when he chooses to reduce the
vork on the farm to a matter of mere
nucular effort and to put his own
nuscles against those of the mule he
omes perilously near putting himself
n the same class with the mule as a
worker on the farm. The Western
armer measures his efficiency largey
by the number of horses or by the
imount of horse power he can conrol
and direct. We of the South re ain
content to direct the labor of
>nly one horse and to so direct this
abor that we must do almost an
iqual amount with the horse.
n.
Then after our crops are planted
re tend them largely with plows
rhich necessitate our going four or
Ive times to each row where we
hould go only once. Is not this an
ibvious waste of hard labor and of
aluable time? Can we expect to
sake our labor profitable so long as
re do only one-fourth as much in a
lay as we might? It takes a man
srith a turn plow or a single sweep
our times as long to work an acre
if corn as it takes the man
rith the two-horse cultivator,
'his is a virtual waste out of this
aan's-life of this misused time. Is
t any wonder that so many men work

ittle?
Then in the fall when our crop is
aade, if it is a corn crop, we pull the
odder off of it, spending here twice
,s much labor as would be required
o save food of an equal value if the
orn were cut up and shocked. Is it
ny wonder that some farmers do not
[nd live stock feeding profitable
sr.hen they depend upon food which
ias cost them twice what was necesary?
The labor put into the proluction
of any commodity is a part
>f the cost of that commodity?a
elf-evident statement it would seem,
tut one which thousands of farmers
vidently forget every day of their
Ives. We must learn to economize
a the expenditure of time and labor
s well as in the expenditure of mony,
and it is the height of folly to deote
twice as much labor to the proiuction
of a crop as is necssary and
hen to expect prices high enough to
;ive us a profit on this labor.
in.
The same thing is true of labor in
he farm home. In thousands of
omes the women and children have
pent time enough carrying water
rom a distant spring or drawing it
ut of a well by sheer muscular effort
o have paid a half dozen times for
he installation of a good pump or
or the digging of a well or cistern
ear by. The woman who spends
our hours each week doing a washag
by hand that could be done in
wo hours with a washing machine
wastes enough labor in one year to
lore than pay for a machine that
rill last ten years. Is it any wonder
hat the women of our farms are
ver-worked and are yet unable to
eep the farm home as it should be
ept, or to find time for the recretion
and self-culture to which every
roman is entitled?
IV.
To work ? to perform honest,
lealthful and productive labor?is
he highest privilege which any of us
njoy; but to do work which is uneccessary
and unfruitful and to be

OREGON HAS KINDEST MAN.
Hermit Refuses to Kill Wild Animals
That Destroy His Crops.
If you lived in the woods where
bear, deer and cougars actually interfered
with your farming operations
and devoured your crops, would you
have any hesitation about killing the
offending varmints? Frank Lotcon, a
German hermit living alone on the
Panjab river, in the Blue mountains,
in Oregon, thinks it wrong to kill
wild animals and they bully him unmercifully.
Although for years he has lived in
a district where all sorts of wild animals
are numerous, he has never
killed one yet. "They frequently
cause me much trouble," he says,
; "but it is wrong to kill them."
A few days ago he awakened in the
morning to see two large cougars
glaring at him through the windows
of his cabin. The mountaineer could
' " ? 1 1-111^J k..f
' easily nave kiiicu uulju ui iucm, um
he said he had no objection have
them inspect the interior of his house.
After watching him for several minutes
the wild cats slunk away into
the timber.
A field of corn, planted and cultivated
by Lotcon with great care, was
destroyed recently by a herd of deer.
Several acres of the corn was eaten
' to the ground. Mr Lotcon could easily
have killed the deer the morning
| after the animals devoured the corn,
but he did not molest them. A big
deer recently created havoc with the
irrigation scheme Mr. Lotcon has carried
out on his farm. Wallowing in
the spring from which the water is
drawn, the deer squeezed mud into
, the outlet pipe, stopping it up, and
the crops suffered before the cause
f of the trouble was discovered.
Taking all these things into ac|
count, Oregon may claim to have the
kindest man.?Milwaukee Sentinel.
Why I Leftthe Ministry.
! "As a minister I found that I could '
not be honest," says a former coun;
try pastor in Woman's Home Companion
for October. "I could not be
; honest in business matters. I could
; not be honest morally. I could
1 not be honest socially. Repeatedly
; I made the attempt. Repeatedly the
attempt ended in disaster." After a
| long and bitter experience, he came
to the conclusion that the small
| church owes four duties to its pas,
tor. They are:
"1. Pay up. Turn in your contrij
bution to the church treasury with
I the utmost promptness. Leave the
treasurer no excuse for running your
minister into debt.
"2. Speak out. When the church
is about to choose a new pastor,
laioc tu^ ^UVOVIVU 1WU1VU4M>W|^ W
. the stamp of preaching expected.
Conservative or progressive, let it be
i settled then. Better a hot debate
and the consequent hard feelings
than a sham acquiescence that keep
things smooth for the time, and later
subjects a minister to a process of
doctrinal bullying that degrades his
; manhood. If subsequently tl\ere
arise disagreements, see to it that
they are met not by bringing pressure
to bear sporadically upon the pastor,
but by bringing pressure to bear,'
' when necessary, upon his parishioners.
By this I mean demanding
that they reach common ground on
which they are willing to stand consistently.
"3. Be considerate. Refuse to
ruin your pastor's usefulness by
heaping upon him a host of unnecessary
tasks. Leave him time to fulfil
his larger obligations honestly?time
for solid, patient, conscientious preparation
for the pulpit, time for the
-1 *- J! Annl,
iaumui euepueruiug ui iuc uvv,n..
"4. Be natural. The pose people
assume toward a minister is a
survival of a bygone time, and so is
their insistence that he practice an
artificial severity of life. The
natural, instinctive attitude is that
of candor in the one matter and of
respect for his individual convictions
in the other.
"Some day, when Christians have
come to understand that only as
these four simple rules are obeyed
can a clergyman maintain his honesty,
there will result a reformation
that will make the preacher's calling
what God intends it to be?the
noblest, the most inspiring, the most
hallowed in all the world. And never
again will a man write an account

A Good Motto.
Stand up for your friends is a
grand motto. Do not stand up with
closed lips and listen to the abuse of
those whom you love and respect.
It takes courage sometimes to defend
an absent friend, but if he is a friend
and is believed to be a worthy man,
it is most cowardly to say no word
when he is abused in your presence.
Silence is golden, but not in a case
where an old acquaintance, a trusted
comrade, a respected neighbor, fraternal
associate is being adversely
criticised, having no chance to reply.
Then is the time to speak out; and to
make proof of that true frienship
which iB loyal in season and out of
season, ever counting it a sacred
duty to defend the absent when
wrongfully assailed." ? Fraternal
Record.
Feeding Farm Hands.
Every farmer's wife knows what tremendous
appetites farm hands usually
have; but while they eat weH they
work well. too.
Here's a good suggestioa about feeding
farm bands. Give them plenty
of Quaker Oats. A big dish of
Quaker Oats porridge with sugar and
cream or milk is the greatest breakfast
in the world for a man who needs
vigor and strength for a long day's
work. The man that eats Quaker Oats
plentifully and often is the man who
does good work without excessive fatigue.
There is a sustaining quality
in Quaker Oats not found in other
foods, and for economy it is at the
head of the list To meet needs of
those in different climates Quaker ,
Oats is packed in regular size packages
and hermetically sealed tins;
the latter for hot climates. 5
