CANDIDATES USE FISTS
1 HODGES AND ELLERBE FIGHT L
LAKE CITY MEETING.
Hodges Resents Use of Term Liar b
Ellerbe and Leads to the Face.
They Mix Up.
Lake City, August 20.?Two of th
candidates for congress, Kodges an<
niarKo Cro rrnrT r\ rrV\ t q t t Vl
^ xjiiva w, in a uot U51H ?.c iu
meeting held here to-day and severa
blows passed before the contestant
were separated. Ellerbe used the wor<
liar, and Mr. Hodges resented it b;
landing a stiff blow on the face. EI
lerbe was game and they went at i
nip and tuck until separated by by
standers.
Ellerbe closed his speech by takinj
from his pocket a slip of paper an<
v reading therefrom the following
"Whoever says that I was the autho:
of or wrote or dictated or had printec
? the circular against Mr. Hodges re
ferred to in his speech is an infamou:
liar."
Blow in the Face.
As he commenced to read Hodgei
a came out from the crowd and stood a
his left side, paying close attention
and when Ellerbe had finished askec
him if he meant to say that he
Hodges, was a lair. Whereupon El
lerbe repeated his statement anc
Hodges promptly struck him a blov
in the face. Ellerbe went right at hin
and several blows had been passec
before they could be parted amic
shouts of "Hurrah for Ellerbe! Hur
I rah for Hodges!"
The meeting closed without furthei
incident other than that Ellerbe ex
plained that Rodgers, senator fron
Marlboro, had stated that he was th*
author of and had printed the papei
against Hodges and had assumed al'
% responsibility thereof, and that he
Ellerbe, had only circulated about 5C
copies of this circular in his district
Attack Ellerbe's Record.
The four aspirants for congressional
honors from the sixth district
Hodges, Sellers, Brown and Ellerbe
spoke in the order named and were allowed
30 minutes each by Chairmar
A. H. Williams. Hodges and Sellars
pitched into Ellerbe's record and criticized
severely his demeanor while iL
congress, branding him a Republican,
at least in principle.
Hodges fixed on Ellerbe the responsibility
for the Rodgers circulars that
had ben circulated against him twc
years ago on the eve of the election,
and said that he had at least dictated
that letter.
? Sellers's talk was rather on the humorous
order throughout, and while
talking he seemed to have the crowd
pretty well with him.
Brown made a very plain and
pointed speech and gave a clear-cut
statement of his views on the important
issues, and refered only in the
latter part of his talk to Ellerbe's record
as to his vote to place a tariff on
lumber. He said that for a long time
he had not said one word against Ellerbe
or his record and had not until
Ellerbe had been given an opportunity
to defend his position in voting
as he had on the lumber matter, but
Ellerbe had failed to explain it satisfactorily
to his mind.
Denies It.
\
Ellerbe denied having at any time
or anywhere violated his pledge or departed
from his party principles, and
contended that he had always been
true to the Democratic platform
which he endeavored to prove by reading
extracts from the leading Democrats
in congress, among them being
Champ Clark, minority leader; Bell
of Georgia, Democratic whip, and
Clayton of Alabama, chairman of the
last Democratic convention. He said
he could not but be proud of his
achievements during his six years ir
congress. He had saved enough tc
the citizens of his district in having
the tariff on potash reduced to almos'
pay his salary in congress for the nexi
thousand years. He had succeeded ii
getting established nearly 100 stai
and rural routes and had got a larg
er appropriation for public building:
for cities in the sixth district thai
many other congressmen of longei
had for cities in other district:
of more than ten times their impor
tance
He had also succeeded in securing
large appropriations for the river;
and harbors of his district.

When King George came to pres

If a tradesman is thought to

S DYXAMITING SOIL A FAILURE.
s So Thinks Captain Petty Aftei
Watching Experiment.
The attempt to break land with dy
e namite by J. H. Caldwell has attract
e ed a little attention and less at home
_ than abroad. He selected a piece o.
y land nearly level, broke it, bedded ii
_ out deep and put in dynamite charges
j about every eight feet in tTie watei
5 furrows. We witnessed the discharge
_ I of some of the dynamite. Our obser
vation was that the clay in those holes
> was broken about 20 to 24 inches
2 deep. The breaking did not extenc
out two feet from the place where
. the dynamite was exploded.
The land which he dynamited was
2 a choice lot and with fertilizer judi,
ciously applied would have made fine
corn or cotton without dynamite.
, If there is any farmer in the State
who believes that dynamiting is a
. cheap and effective way to break land
2 we suggest that he give it a trial on a
T small scale before he invests $75 oi
. $100 an acre. Take a piece of lane
? with unbroken, clay subsoil. Do not
. plough it at all. Sink holes with a
. ^arge crow bar si* feet apart, and twe
. feet deep. Put in a full charge or hall
, stick of dynamite, and touch it off. He
} might try two dozen holes. He would
then know what dynamite was worth
for breaking clay. He would find that
I at least half the clay was not shaken
L or cracked. Then the expense would
be such that no farmer could stand it,
} for it would require 1,210 charges tc
[ one acre. Even if he used only halt
s a stick for charge he would find it
f very expensive.
In the second place the principle is
k wrong. A tough clay subsoil broken
a foot or two deep, will not run to
gether again unless there is humus
to mix with it. Thin land, on which
( there is little vegetable matter, canL
not stand more than two inches of
the hard pan broken at one time.
More than that would injure the following
crop unless much vegetable
[ matter should be added to it. All
, clay lands should be deepened by de[
grees and huinus added every year.
, Some farmers, who are judges of
. corn, have visited Mr. Caldwell's lot
j and they say that he will not make
as much corn as some of his neigh>
bors who have not spent half as much
, time and money on their crops as he.
They also report that the last few
days have caused his corn to fire just
, as much or more than his neighbors
who prepared their land in the ordi
, nary way. It is pretty certain that
. none of Mr. Caldwell"s neighbors will
. dynamite their land next spring for
a corn crop.
Several inquiries have recently
been made in regard to planting for
. a fall crop of Irish potatoes. It is
, very seldom that a good stand can
, be secured by planting the potatoes
. raised in the spring. -When they do
come up well by the first of September
a good crop may be made. By
planting twice as thick as they ought
to stand, enough may come up to give
, a fair crop.
There was once a red potato raised
i in York county, which was also adapted
to fall planting. It would show no
signs of sprouting until July. It was
a medium size and quite prolific and
, the potatoes were crisp and mealy
, until July. The color was red. We
do not know whether that variety
. is planted now or not, but if any
. reader of this article has them, or
knows any one who raises them, the
. writer would like to have the address
of the one who grows them.?
