ARTHUR GRUBBS SHOT. Barnwell Man Fatally Wounded by Augusta Policeman. Augusta, Ga., July 27.?Arthur Grubbs, of Rosemary township, Barnwell county, South Carolina, was fatally shot in a pistol duel on the North Augusta bridge this afternoon by Policeman Caudle. Grubbs died to-night. Caudle was slightly wounded. Grubbs, attended by a friend, Dickson Green, also of Barnwell county, arrived in Augusta Tuesday night and started drinking. Their disorderly conduct and cursing on the bridge attracted the attention of the officer who ordered them to move on. When the officer approached again Grubbs attapfcpd him onenine fire at once. The first shot struck the officer's club, the second struck him in the stomach just below the heart and left the body at the waist on the left, the third missed. After the third shot the officer drew his revolver and shot Grubb through the head, the shot entering through the left eye. Green, seeing that his companion was shot, drew his revolver on the officer, but was "covered" from behind by Officer Aiken who had come up during the shooting. Grubbs will probably die during the night. Caudle's wound was dressed at the city hospital, and he is now at his home. sv The Legal Question. Aiken, July 27.?There is considerable discussion here of the shooting of Arthur Grubbs on the North / ' Augusta bridge this afternoon . It appears that it is not entirely clear as to whether the shooting oc. curred on the Georgia or the South Carolina side. If the shooting was on the Carolina side it would offer considerable complications, as a Georgia officer would have no authority to come into Carolina to make an arrest. Grubbs is said to have been in Ai.t-en this mornine. then in an intox icated condition. While Georgia has usually claimed her boundary as extending to the . Carolina edge of the river, the South Carolina statutes define the boundary as being the middle of the stream. As high and low water make several feet difference in the centre of the stream, it is likely that some quesl"'. tion may arise as to the boundary. It is contended that the affair occurred a few feet on the Georgia side.

Augusta, July 28.?Officer Caudle, who killed Arther Grubbs, of Barnwell county, in a pistol duel on the North Augusta bridge yesterday, while trying to arrest Grubbs and his companion, Dickson Green, was ex- i onerated by the coroner's jury at the inquest here to-day. I Grubbs and Green were drinking and Grubbs drew a pistol and fired upon officer Caudle as the officer approached, according to the testimony of the main witnesses who appeared. Green, also from Barnwell, admitted that he and Grubbs were drinking and he also stated that Caudle shot Grubbs after the latter had fired upon him. Grubbs's father, T. J. Grubbs, came to Augusta and took bis son's body home this afternoon. Ho said his son's death was the result of liquor and keeping bad company.

Celery is ordinarily grown for it large fresh left stalks, which ar< eaten raw with salt and also fo extensively used for seasoning pur poses. Celeriac or turnip-rooted eel ery is grown for its large roots which are used for seasoning salads It is a gross feeder, and though th> soil selected be reasonably fertile, ! or 10 tons of barnyard manure shouli be applied per acre and thoroughl; incorporated with the soil befor planting. On land that will produc forty bushels of corn per acre, no less than 1,000 pounds of fertilize containing 7 per cent, available phos phoric acid, 6 per cent, nitrogen an< 8 per cent, potash should be appliei per acre. Celery seed are planted in frame * ? ^ T ^ ? ~"L T<V?.rv T?/NT1*CI O morbp/l 1X1 .UclIUil. J. lie I \J n o en ^ six inches apart and about one hal inch deep. Ten to fifteen seed ar sown to every inch of row and cover ed with sifted soil. After the seei are planted the bed should b sprinkled lightly and then shadei with bags or burlap until the youni plants begin to appear. Then th' bags or burlap should be removei and a lath screen used in its place. After the seed have been sown th surface' of the soil in the plan bed should be allowed to be come dry until the plants hav* become well established. The us< of the 1th screen may graduall; be discontinued after the plants haw formed the fourth of fifth leaf. When the plants are about thre inches high they should be thinnei to one inch apart in the row. Th' plants removed may be transplante* to other beds and will produce a good, if not better, plants than thos not transplanted. Celery is trans planted to the field during the sum mer months, when it is very hot an* the soil unusually dry. It is, there fore, necessary to water the plant as they are set out. The tops o the plants should be clipped back t half their length about two weeks be fore transplanting to the field an* watered sparingly the last week be fore transplanting. An hour befor the plants are removed from the bed they should be watered freely. If the celery is to be blanched b earth, the rows should be marked ol five feet wide and the plants set fiv inches apart in the row. If th double row system is used, each se of double rows should be six fee wide and the plants set six inche apart each way. It is very important to have stock plants to transplant to the field, a [ it is very difficult to get the smai ones to live, and they never grow o ! as rapidly as plants of larger siz< Plants that have been given ampl distance in the seed bed will be froi six to eight inches tall and ver stocky at transplanting time. The amateur grower frequentl makes the mistake of setting th plants too deep in the soil. The plant should not be set deeper in the fiel than they stood in the plant bed. 1 the plants are set in the bottom c a furrow, as is sometimes practicec the bud will be covered by soil wast ing from the sides of the trench an many of them will die. When th plants are set in a slight furrow mad by the marker and the soil draw about them, the bud of the plac should be on a level with the sui face of the soil. The plants should be taken froi the bed with a small block of so attached to the roots if possible. T do this a heavy knife with a blad about six inches long is passed alon each side of the rows one and on half inch from the plants, cuttin about three or four inches deep. 1 is then passed between the plants i the rows cutting the same deptl The plants are then removed wit ! the block of soil and roots attachec pressed lightly in the hand to prevec the soil from being shaken off i handling. The plants are then covei ed with wet' bags or burlap and whe thus protected will remain perfectl fresh for several hours. The ides wav for setting: the plants is to plac the plant in the hole immediatel after the water has been poured in fill the hole with soil and press lighl ly, leaving a mulch of loose dry so: around each plant. It is very important that the so mulch be maintained at all time during the growing season in orde to prevent the loss of moisture froi the soil by evaporation. Cultivat shallow after every rain in order t prevent the formation of crust on th soil and to re-establish the so Late celery for winter use i blanched by soil. The plants are se in the field during July and earl August, and the blanching is begu about the last of September. Celer is usually ready for use by the 20t of November, but will continue t grow rapidly during December an will need no protection until th last of that month, when it may t covered entirely with soil or strav or it may be stored in a suitabl frame or trenched. The first process in blanchin celery with soil is called "handling. This consists of gathering all th r leaves in one hand and holding them in an erect position while the soil s is banked and slightly packed around < 5 them to about one-half their length, r When this is done the soil is heaped - around the plants with either the - plow or "celery hiller." , i, Instead of "handling" the plants as 1 described above, they are sometimes c e wrapped with paper string to hold j ? them erect until the soil can be < 3 banked about them. The string is j v' fastened to the first plant in the row , e and is then tied once around each j e succeeding plant ana at last fasten- ] t ed securely at the end of the row. , r As the string is covered with soil it soon decays and does not injure the j I plants. The soil is then banked about < 3 the plants with the "hiller" or plow. < As the plants grow the soil is heaped ' s higher, and after a few weeks the ( T b^nks will be so high that the hoe j f and shovel will have to be used in < e addition to the hiller. ( The following varieties are espe- < 3 cially recommended: Fin de Siecle, . e Giant Paseal, Winter Queen and 3 Golden Self-Blanching. % For further information concerning e celery culture see Bulletin No. 144 3 of the South Carolina experiment j station.

After centuries of misrule Ireland , has passed the dawn and seen the 0 brilliant and glorious sunrise of a new e day. Thomas Carlyle held that there i would not have been a cordial union between England and Scotland if g Robert Bruce had not gained the t great victory at Bannockburn. But the Irish lost at the Boyne, and that j made her long subjection the more b galling. In addition, there was re- < 1 ligious prejudice that is the most t' cruel and insensate of all fanaticn isms.

Spartanburg, July 28.?State Insurance Commissioner F. H. McMas:er was here to-day to investigate :barges against Wade H. Smith, agent For the Union Central Life Insurance Company. The case was one of supposed violation of the anti-discrimination laws in regard to rebating. The investigation proved that Mr. Smith had committed no violation of the insurance laws. Mr. Smith was supposed to have offered a rebate to Mr. T. H. Reed, of Campobello, who took out a policy for $5,000 in the Union uentrai u.ne. < This supposition, it was proven, grew { 3ut of a misunderstanding of a state- _ aient made by Mr. Reed, in a conversation with Messrs. M. M. Mattison, < Df Anderson, and T. T. Goldsmith, of < Greenville, agents for another insur- ( ance company. Believe Robbery the Motive. * i Spartanburg, July 28.?It was re- < ported here to-night, at' a late hour, { that D. W. Miller, a stove repairer, who lives near Spartanburg junction, was found this evening lying on the i new cut road, near Pisgah church, < with a hole knocked in his head and < in an unconscious condition. Rob- ( bery is supposed to have been the ( motive of the deed. It is said that Mr. Miller travels * ever this country a great deal, re- < pairing and selling stoves, and that < he has at times about his person con- ( siderably money.

If those who whine would whistle, And those who languish laugh, The rose would route the thistle, The grain outrun the chaff; If hearts were only jolly, If grieving were forgot, And tears and melancholy = Were things that now are not? Then Love would kneel to Duty, And all the world would seem A bridal bower of beauty. A dream within a dream. If men would cease to worry, And women cease to sigh, And all be glad to bury Whatever has to die? If neighbor spake to neighbor As love demands of all, x The rust would eat the saber, The spear stay on the wall; Then every day would glisten, Ana every eye wouiu same, And God would pause to listen, And life would be divine. ?Anon.
