NOT A "KNOCR-OUT BLOW." Mileage Pulling Question not Decid? ed by North Carolina Court, Charlotte, N. C, Dec. 11.?In the report of the action of the North Carolina Supreme Court in the caae of Harvey vs. the Atlantic Coast Line it was errorneously stated that the Court had dealt a "knock-out blow" to that regulation of the North Caro? lina railroads which requires holders of mileage hooka to exchange mileage for tickets at atatlona. The opinion affirmed the decialon of the lower court awarding $2,500 damages to Harvey, who brought suit when lie waa put off a train after he was un? able to exchange his mileage at sta? tion because of a large crowd at the ticket window. 1(1 After reviewing the case. Chief Jus? tice Clark, in a supplementary opinion said: "I not only concur in the opinion of the court, but further, upon a point as to which it was not found necea sary for the Court to express itself, I am Of the opinion that the require? ment that the holder of a mileage book shall present it and obtain a ticket thereon Is an unreasonable regulation and therefore void." HAVE A GOOD THING. What Aviator Ely Thinks of Sumtcr's Airship. The following statement, made to a reporter of the Columbia State by Mr. Eugene B. Ely, the well known aviator, indicates that Sumter will ere long be as famous foi airships as it is now for telephones: "The Sumter aeroplane inventors have a good thing," said Eugene B. Ely, the CurtlSS aviator, after he re? turned from a trip t'? Sumter, where he inspected the models and designs of the flying machine which Is the Invention of C. T. Mason. H. R. Van Deventer and Carl Mason. "Their aeroplane has many advan? tages, the most prominent of which is the contrivance for balancing. This Is very simple and works automat leally. As it has n<?t vet been pat I ented, I can n<?t describe it in detail. At the request of the Inventors of ths aeroplane, Mr. Ely 'went to Sum? ter yesterday to see their machine. He naid that he was very much struck with the possibilities of Sumter as a place to teach the new art of dying. Mr. Ely would not commit himself as to any part he might take in launching a company for the manu? facturing of the recently Invented aeroplane or the establishment of a training school for aviators In Sum? ter. He was enthusiastic over t possibilities of the aeroplane. FARMING WITH DYNAMITE. DuPont PowdflT Company Explains the Goldwell Method. _ ! Farming with dynamite, says the Charlotte Observer of Saturday, has j boon the development demonstrated ! for the past two days on the planta? tions of Mr. J. O. Gardner on the Lawyer's road and Dr. C. L. Alexan? der on the Salisbury road, the Inter j treating experiment being made by Mr. H. P. Dyson, a representative of DuPont Powder company, of which Mr. Walter M. Annette is the local representative. The demonstrations have caused ocnsiderable interest an I proved so attractive to many of those who witnessed the experiments that others will be attempted in the next few days in other portions of the county. This unique method of pulverizing the subsoil was tried about a year ago by Mr. J. H. Caldwell, a farmer near Spartanburg, S. C, and was written about in a number of leading farm journals and daily papers. The singularity of the scheme a tracted perhaps more attention than the be? lief that it was practicable. As a matter of fact, however, Mr. Cald well's experience received even great? er publicity when it developed that a mammoth corn crop was made on the land which he had dynamited. This success started the DuPont Pow? der company in the direction of man? ufacturing a form of cartridge dyna? mite for the specific purpose of break? ing up ground. The two experiments nere were made with this sepecifically made product and the concern man? ufacturing dynamite is assured that there will be a great demand for the t artridge on the part of the farmers of the country. Mr. Martin Davis, who is one of the best known farmers in the county, witnessed the experiment on Mr. Gardner's farm Thursday afternoon and was so pleased with the demon? stration that he will make an attempt himself in the same direction. On Mr. Gardner's farm only enough dy? namite was consumed to prepare a tract of ground for an orchard, but the experiment was thoroughly suc? cessful. "I was mighty well pleased with it," said Mr. Davis to an Ob? server man yesterday. "While the cost of breaking up ground by this method is of course greater than by any other process, 1 believe it will pay to try it. The cost exclusive of labor of breaking an acre of land will be about $10. The DuPont Pow? der company has put out a product especially for this purpose, which it is able to market In quantities cost? ing about $10 an acre, and the la? bor would, of course, run up to $3 or $4. The dynamite thoroughly pulver? izes the soil, goes down into the depths and loosens up a portion of earth which plows never touch." A number of farmers went out to the farm of Dr. C. L, Alexander at the old Orr place on the Salisbury road yesterday afternoon to witness the exhibition and it was aagin suc? cessful. Sticks of dynamite wire placed at intervals of several feet apart and discharged, the ground be? ing broken up Into fragments almost of dust. The experiment was so pleas? ing that a number have expressed themselves as being desirous of using the same process on some sma'i por? tion of their land just to see what virtues are attached to this method of getting at the subsoil and having It thoroughly pulverized. The dynamite method of breaking ground, in so far as it is successful In reaching the sub-strata of earth, is entirely in accord with modern farming. Not many years ago th s ad? vocate of deep plowing was an an? omaly on the farm, almost everybody believing that there was no virtue In touching the subsoil. As scientific measures become more and more practiced on the farms and as the farmers became better and bet? ter informed through the medium of trade papers as to modern and the best method of cultivating their ground, deep plowing is now resorted to in all parts of the country in the fall. This Is really the only time of year for the deep plow, the good of j It coming from the fact that the deep soil ls allowed to remain exposed all I through tho winter and by freezing I processes it becomes infused with agricultural virtues and possibilities. Dynamiting ground for farming is not the only experiment which the DuPont Powder company Is carrying on. It has manufactured cartridges to assist the farmer Inclearing off his ground, in ridding land of stumps and I In various of the rougher and more difficult duties of farm life. These are included in the exhibitions which are being made, and are none tho less successful than the breaking of ground planting. There were some seventy-five farm? ers out at the Alexander farm yester? day. Aviator Ely has been engaged to give an exhibition flight at Dillon on December 20th. Incidentally, the politicians should not forget that party ls strengthened by an overindulgence In "plo"?In? dianapolis Nrma SNOTS FATHER AHO SON. FATHER DEAD AND SON FATAL? LY WOUNDED IN SHOOTING AI FRAY. E. D. Boseman, Aged ?;>, and His Son Otto Are Shot by Coy Blackmail Near Hartsville. Hartsville, Dec. 11.?E. D. Bose man, a farmer about t>5 years old, vvas shot to death and his sun. otto Boae man, aged 22, badly if not fatuiiy wounded by Coy Blackman, a youth of 22 years, today about 12 o'clock. 1 Blackman made his escape. The shooting began in the hou<*e oL* ' Cicero Bryan a negro, who lives on the plantation of S. W. Byrd ,a prom- 1 inent farmer, living about live miiea ! west of Hartsville. The two young j men had met at the house, supposedly j j to get something to drink, and a quarrel arose over the ownership of ; a pistol, w hich was in Blaekman's , i possession, but which the younger { I Boseman claimed belonged to him. I He demanded that the weapon be I given him and advanced on Black 1 man brandishing a beer bottle, j Blackman, fired the ball taking effect, i but not making a serious wound, j Blackman retreated to the yard j . and was followed by the younger ' ! j Boseman and his father, who had come to the negro's house also. In the yard Blackman resumed firing, I I his first ball striking the elder Mr. j Boseman in the heart, killing him in? stantly. He then shot the young [ man and seriously wounded him. The physician who was called says that it will be impossible to tell whether the wound will be fatal until after an operation, which will be per? formed tomorrow. An inquest was held over the body of Mr. Boseman and a verdict re? turned in accordance 'with the facts. Otto Boseman and Blackmail were companions and had formerly worked together at Roanoke Rapids, N. C. It is understood that they had a tlgr t once before and the trouble today probably resulted from a renewal of the old quarrel In a slightly different I form. , ! DEATH RESULT OF ACCIDENT. i - Coroner'ri Jury Find That Death Was Due to Being Run Over by Automo? bile of Mr. Hugcr. The jury drawn for the inquest in? to the death of Willie Mack who was run over and severely injured by Mr. J. C. Huger's automobile last July met Monday from their postponed meeting J last Friday, and in the Sheriff's office i the result of Dr. Ashleigh Mood's autopsy held on the body Saturday j was heard and the remainder of evi donee taken, the verdict agreed upon j that "Willie Mack came to his death ? j by being run over by an automobile j I driven by Mr. J. C. Huger, which we j find to have been accidental." The jury met at 11 o'clock and af? ter a few delays was ready for busi? ness. Dr. Mood's testi rony was tak? en first. He read it, which waj as follows: "I have examind tho de?d body of Willie Mack and in my opin? ion the said Willie Mack came to his death by injuries to his brain caused by a blow on head, which fractured the skull. I found the skull frac?ur td and the brain injured to such an ! extent that a disintegration of the brain tissue was the result (Signed.) H. A. MOOD. j Mr. John T. Green was then called upon to give testimony and he told how the accident occurred, stating about the same thing that had been formerly stated on Friday. He said that he was driving down Main street, that he saw the buggy approaching on the other side and that Mack hesitated In front of the machine which ran over him and stopped about 35 or 40 feet on the other side of the body which he saw on the ground. The jury then retired and after about fifteen minutes consideration returned the verdict given above. i*rof. A. g. Hcmbcrt to Lecture. On Saturday evening, December 17. at 8 o'clock, in the Batting Creek High school building, Rembert. . Prof. A. O. Rembert of Wofford col? lege will deliver a lecture. His repu? tation as one of the two best Greek scholars south of the Ifason-Dlxon line, his reputation as a speaker, hie broad scholarly reading In both an? cient and modern literature, his po? sition as an educator, all these war? rant the assertion that every one Will be repaid for attending. Mr. Rembert will have a message f<>r all and every one who admires a classical and scholarly speaker will have the op? portunity of hearing heim. The pub? lic Is urged to be present. There is a great future to the busi? ness of manufacturing aeroplanes and for the men who take it up and make It a practical success. Thus far the making of aeroplanes his been an experimental proposition, but the business stage of the art of navigat? ing the air is at hand. Sumter Is making an early start, and within % year or two Sumter flyers will be known everywhere. SUMTER COUNTY CORN EXHI? BIT. What SuniUt County People Did Here Md in Columbia in the Corn Contest. Sumter County was well represent? ed at the corn exposition held in Columbia and several prizes were won by Sumter Couaty people in , both the county and special ocntests. There were forty-six entries from this county in the boys' corn contest for the various prizes offered at the ex? position and in one class, class 1, three of the four prizes were won by boys from this county. It sems that there was some mix up in the lists of prizes and contests sent out by the committee which had the exposition in charge and there were two premium llhts sent out and most of the Sumter county boys went by the first premium list while the second list which was the correct one, had changed the entries and premiums from the original list and those who had entered by the original list were showing in a con? test that did not exist. The matter was arranged afterwards at the ex? position but it threw some of the Sumter boys out of the contest that they had expected to enter into some other contest that they had not ex? pected to enter. Those who did not go into any of the contests by the premium list were finally grouped In? to a new group called class I. It was In this class that the Sumter < county boys won three out of four prizes. Those boys who won th" prises were Singletn Dwight, Wedge field, first; Hayward Burress, Wedge field, second; and Leon Stuckey, Da. zell, fourth. Besides the boys contest there we fourteen entries in the South Atlantic Corn Exposition from this county, there being only one county to beat Sumter county in the number of ex? hibits in the boys corn contest an? only two to beat this county in the men's corn contest. Sumter county had two school exhibits at the expo? sition and there were only three there altogether. Two of the three prizes for school exhibits were won by the General Sumter Memorial Academy, of this county. The other school ex? hibiting besides the General Sumte? Memorial aacdemv 'was the Eraser school from the northern part of the county. Of the men to win prizes in the contest were Mr. P. M. Pitts and Mr. L. L Parrott, two of Sumter county's j up-to-date farmers, who besides be? ing farmers are county office holders. All of the Sumter people who went over to the exposition were highly pleased 'with it and declared that. It was the finest corn show that they had ever seen and that it was doing a big work for South Carolina. Many of the farmers who did not exhibit at all this year or did so only on a very small scale declared their Intentln of going into the corn raising business next year with an idea of making big yields and fine corn which they ex? pect to enter in the contest with an expectation of winnig. The county corn club of Sumter ls unique in that it is the only county corn club in the State which requir? ed each of the contestants to con? tribute one bushel to perpetuate the corn club and the list of prizes which were given during the past year and furnish by this means good seed corn which any or all of the farmers of the county could get for moderate prices. At the same time this coun? ty was fortunate in that it received more certificates .for its boy members of the county corn club for raising more than 75 bushels of corn to an acre than any other county in the State. Sumter county can also state that it had more boy farmers to raise more than 100 bushels of corn than any other county, there being six boys In this county to make more than 100 bushels on one acre. In The Police Court. There were only two cases up for ttii- Recorder to attend to when hla court convened at noon Saturday in the Reeor. r's office. Arthur Clark was up f >r Cfttrytng a. concealed weapon and for resist.ng an officer when he attempted to ar? rest him. He plead guilty and was sentenced to pay S tine of $10 or to terve 20 days on the public works. Ulysses Parker, eolored, was up for violating a hack ordinance and was given the choice of $:? or 6 days. The toed oil which was laid on E. Liberty street has proved a success since the stree t v\-as opened for trafiic, but as we have had only good weath? er so far and It has been used only a short while It is hard to tell how it will do when it comes to the se? vere tests of time and weather. Rev. D. M. McLeod will be the pastor of the ITrst Methodist church during the coming year, be having been sent here from Chesler to take the place of the Rev. M. W. Hook, who has been here for two years. Mr. Mel/eod ls a brother of the Hon. 1. G. McLeod of Blshopvllle.
