MASSEE WINS DECISION.
?
Judge Sease Holds That Requisition
for Him is Invalid.
Spartanburg, Aug. S.?\V. J. Massee,
the Macon, Ga., capitalist, will
not be taken to Tennessee to answer
charges in the courts of Maury county
at Columbia.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Thos.
S. Sease held that the requisition
on which Mr. Massee was arrested
in Spartanburg twelve days ago
while Dassing through South Caro
lina en route to Georgia from as
v Eastern business trip, was invalid
He also declared that the case appeared
to him to be an effort of the
Tennessee prosecutors to collect u
debt through the criminal courts.
Judge Sease's decision was on habeas
corpus proceedings instituted
by Mr. Massee at the time of his arrest.
His bondsmen were relieved
* of further responsibility to the South
Carolina courts and all claim against
him in this State was dismissed.
Attorneys for Mr. Massee attack*
ed the validity of the requisition by
which it was sought to extradite him
to Tennesee on the ground that the
papers were not signed by Gov.
Ben W. Hooper, of Tennessee, having
been issued by his secretary during
his absence from Nashville. On

proceedings.
Mr. Massee was not present at the
hearing to-day, being at his home in
Macon suffering from an attack of
vertigo. He was represented by his
brother, 0. J. Massee, of Macon, and
his attorneys, Felton Hatcher, Rov
land Ellis and W. D. McNeil, of Macon,
and Sanders & DePass and Cecil
C. Wyche, of Spartanburg.
Judge Sease ruled that as Mr.
Massee was under $10,000 bond, the
hearing could proceed in his
absence upon a consent order from
Mr. Massee agreeing to that course,
which was introduced. An affidavit
from Dr. H. P. Derry, of Macon, Mr.
Massee's regular physician, was presented
stating that Mr. Massee was
ill and would be in danger of a physt
v ical collapse should he be brought
from Macon to Spartanburg. Before
presenting the consent order and
the affidavit Mr. Massee's attorneys
had made a motion for a postponement
of the hearing, which Judge
Sease overruled.
.. Blease Favored Bucket Shops.
Several years ago a bill was introduced
in the legislature by C. P. Sanders,
a member of the house from
this county, which would prohibit the
operation of bucketshops in the State.
In the senate Senator H. B. Carlisle
championed the bill. Cole L. Blease
was its leading antagonist.
This bill was of vital interest to
tho farmers of this section who raise
cotton. It put an end to the speculation
through the bucketshops and
every farmer in the county was especially
anxious to have the measure
passed. Practically all planters in
South Carolina were in favor of the
bill, except for those who had dealings
with the bucketshops.
\ But Gov. Blease opposed the bill,
championing the bucketshops and
their cause.
The following record, taken from
the senate journal, shows wherein
Mr. Blease fought the measure, which
was lost, but passed subsequently
when introduced a second time by
k Senator Carlisle.
Extract from senate journal, South
Carolina, iyub.
House Bill 393. Mr. Sanders. A
bill to declare the keeping of any
room or place where contracts are
made for the future delivery of any
stock, bonds, cotton, grain, meats or
any other animal, mineral or vegetable
products of any kind without the
seller being the owner of said stock,
bonds, cotton, grain or other articles
contracted to be sold and without any
intention on the part of either the
seller to deliver or the buyer receivi
ing the same, a misdemeanor.
Mr. Blease moved to strike out the
h enacting words of the bill. After debate
by Messrs. C. L. Blease, Carlisle,
Biake and Brooks, the question was
taken on agreeing to the motion of
the senator from Newberry, on which
the yeas and nays were demanded

PROFITS IN PECAN GROWING.
i Agricultural Expert Shows Value (
Nut Culture.
Washington, Aug. 7.?For man
[ years it has been the constant er
deavor of the federal department c
agriculture to instill in the minds c
the agriculturists of the country th
. necessity for diversification of crop
i and to have them realize the impor
[ ance of nut and fruit growing, whic
, not only prove interesting, but
. nmncriv handled most Drofitabh
? ?r
i Among the nuts which could h
. grown with profit in almost all se<
tions of the United States is the p<
; can.
i When C. A. Reed, special agent i
nut-culture investigations in the d<
partment of agriculture, was aske
I to-day to tell something of the peca
tree culture and the possibilities c
I profit-sharing in this industry, h
i said*
; "The pecan is one of the most in
portant of the nut-bearing trees no1
grown in the United Staes, an
within the area thought to be adapte
i to its culture no other agricultun
> or horticultural product which ha
, appeared during recent years is a.
tracting greater attention or bein
more widely exploited. It was nc
l found by the early botanists neare
! the Atlantic coast than western Ah
bama in the South and central Ter
i nessee and Kentucky in the Nortl
. but with the progress of agricultur
f in the South the species have bee
i carried eastward and widely distrit
uted with apparent success over th
eastern Gulf and South Atlanti
States. It has also been sparingly ir
troduced into many of the Norther
States, including Ohio, Michigan, Ne1
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Dek
i ware, New Jersey, and to a slight ej
i tent into the lower New Englan
States. In the West it has receive
but little attention. A few plante
; trees may be found here and ther
from Washington to southern Cal
fornia, but pecan growing has nc
i become an important industry wes
of the Rocky mountains.
"The figures of pecan productioi
according to the census of 1910, hav
not yet been published, but from es
i timates made by a number of whole
salers the annual crop of the Stat
i of Texas alone during the past fiv
years has ranged from 135 to 66
carloads, or from .3,645,000 to 17
820,000 pounds. The prices to th
producer have ranged from* 4 to 1
cents a Dound. During the past fiv
years the average mid-season pric
has been from 7 to 9 cents a pount
Estimates derived from the sam
source indicate that, beginning wit
Louisiana, next to Texas in quantit
of production, and ending with Ind
ana and Illinois, each producin
about ten cars, the remainder of th
average crop is apportioned amon
the other pecan-producing States i
about the following order: Louis
ana, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansai
and Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee
l Mississippi, Indiana and Illinois.
"Commerically speaking, orcharc
grown pecans have not yet been pre
duced in sufficient quantities to affec
the general market to an appreciabl
degree. The demand for pecans c
the named varieties created by nui
serymen for use as samples, or b
fancy confectioners, tourists and o<
i casionally by seedsmen, has caused
very wide range in prices which ca
not be expected to reach a norms
basis until the cultivated nuts reac
the general market in sufficient quar
tities to compete fairly with wil
nuts. At the present time practicall
the entire American consumptio
comes from Mexico."

"Yes," said the doctor, "I hav

years; we were in college togethe:
and he was always a manly boy,bright,
straight, clean; a fine sti

warm, sympathetic friend, and a ma

"In the years of our college assoc
