" 'Bout de time yo' all went up on de fill:, I reck'n. I done come right yere. and waited." Keith walked across the room, se? lected a cigar, and came back, his mind busy with the problem. Hawley had in some manner, then, got lpto communication with Walte, and was threatening him. But Walte evidently knew the man under another name? bts given name?and the gambler hud sent him off on a false trail. The lost papers apparently contained the solu? tion to all this myatery. Walte be? lieved Hawley possessed them, but did not suspect that Bartlett and Haw? ley were the same person. What would he moat naturally do now? Reek Hawley In Topeka probably; eelae the first opportunity of getting i there. Keith turned impatiently to the clerk Any train running east?" i "Well, they generally start one out every day." with a glance toward the clock.

From Waite's statement It waa the loea of the papers which left him helpleaa to openly resist the claim being made upon him on behalf of the mysterious Phyllis. Kla only hope, therefore, lay In recovering these; but, with time limited, he had bean sent back on a wild gooee chase, while Keith alone knew, with any degree of poeitivenesa, where those document* really were. Hawley certainly had them in his pos? session the day before, for he had taken them to Miss Maclalre to thus convince her aa to the truth of his statements. And Hawley was still In Sheridan. However, It was not likely the man would risk carrying documents of such value, and docu? ments connecting him so closely with that murder on the Santa Fe Trail, about upon his person. At best, life waa cheap in that community, and Black Bart must possess enemies in plenty. Yet if not on his person? where? Scott was only a tool, a mere Ignorant desperado, not to be trusted to such a degree?yet apparently he waa the only one working with the gambler In this deal, the only one cognizant as to his plana Christie? Keith came to a stop in the street at the recurrence of the woman's name. Why not? If she had been oouvinoed, if she really believed that these pa? pers proved her right to both property and parentage, then she would guard them as a tigress does her young. And Hawley would know that, and must realise they would be far safer in her hands than in his pocket. She could not use them without his aid and guidance, and yet, whatever happened to him they would still be safely be? yond reach. True, this might not have been done; the gambler might not yet have felt that he had sufficient hold upon the woman to trust her thus far, but it was, at least, a possibility to be considered, and acted upon. Still wrestling with the intricate problem, Keith entered the dining room, and weaved his way, as usual, through the miscellaneous crowd, to? ward the more exclusive tables at the rear. A woman sat alone at one of these, her back toward the door. Hie first thought was that it must be Hope, and he advanced toward her. his heart throbbing. She glanced up, a slight frown wrinkling her foreheal, and he bowed, recognizing Christie Maclalre. (To be Continued.) iloio gi A Money Crop. There are comparatively few sec? tions of the South where a surplus of, pork is produced over that required for boms eoneumption, The surpris Ini results secured in those local! ! ties, however, where proper utten 1 Itlon has been given to the ho? imius j try is tin- subjec t at present of much 1 favorable comment, ami there is a rapidly growing Interest in tin- busi neee, There havs been two dlfilcul i j tlei which held the business in check . I In the last four years. One was the1 prevalence <?f hog cholera and the i other ths high pries ??f corn, for it is only within a - imperatively short time that the advantage of growing I hogs on green feed has been gonerally recognised. Ho^ cholera for many years has been the terror of those en gaglni in the breeding of this class of animals, and it is still to be feared by nil who tail to protect their anl rials against its into.ids with the serum treatment Which has now been prefected. While this treatment costs something, the expense Involved Is comparatively nothing in proportion I to the loss which will result from an outbreak of cholera in a herd even of comparatively small proportions. 'Ph.- farmer may rest assured, there? fore, that ha can now protect 90 per cent of his h. rd from destruction by cholera for the expenditure of a few dollars, The wise farmer will take ( t ins precaution, j 'rh.' nexl educative step in the pro . . if building a leu; Industry com I monaurale with the needs of tin i South i< the widespread recognition ..I tie fa< t thai pork ran i"1 made aatlsafctory ami ;'t a low cost <>n graslng. crops, To accomplish this it i: nccesanr) for the crops to be grown in b proper sequence so thai some? thing will he a\. ble for green feed virtually throughout the year, 11 is cert ilnly folly to attoropl I 1 i i md malni ?in hogs on corn I lone, for mans experiments have .nil >wi that when animals arc closo* j \\ > unllned and have re h hi d inj con? ? ^ d. i 11 development, corn will not produce more than 6 to 8 pound* of pork. Of course, un? der extremely favorable conditions aa much as 12 pound! may sometimes be secured, but even then, corn at a d< liar B bushel li altogether too high priced to feed in proportion to the returns secured from it. As a mat tt r of fact, a drove of hogs f>'d on gracing crops will result in the pro* Auction of a much larger amount of I ork and the animals will he kept much freer of disease and in a health? ier and more vigorous condition by reason of their ability to gather their own food. There are certain crops which may be crown successfully from which TOO to 1.000 pounds of pork per acre have been made in various experiments reported up to date. Even though not more than 500 pounds of pork be secured from an acre of soy beans, at S cents per pound live I weight, it would represent a return of $40 per acre, and it Is relatively 1 easier to grow an acre of soy beans and make this amount of pork than ] to produce 40 bushels of corn. Sup i pose the 4 0 bushels of corn if fed I alone produced as much as 10 pounds of pork per t.ushel which I would seldom be the ease, the return per acre would be at the rate of 400 i pounds with a money value of $32. Cow peas may be expected to make as good i record as soy beans, while peanuts in experiments to date sur? pass both these crops in the amount of pork secured per acre. In fact, there is no crop grown up to the pres? ent time which compares with pea 1 nuts for this purpo.se. There Id one I objection to the exclusive use of the j peanut in that it makes a soft, oily i pork, but If some corn be fed, say I not over two pounds per head per j day to well develop animals .while grazing on peaunts, this objection will j be largely overcome. Another plan is to confine the hogs to pens and feed them for about 30 days on corn after removing them from the field. ; If the cowpeas and soy beans are planted in succession, that Is, early and late varieties selected, grazing on these crops may be had easily from the first of August to the first oi October. Peanuts may be grazed un? til the first of the year; certainly un? til cold enough weather arrives to permit of the slaughtering and eatis j factory sale of the greater part of the animals. The object of the owner should be to raise two litters per year when? ever possible, and to do this he should not lose sight of the fact that extra good care and feeding will be neces? sary. An effort should be made, to manage the sows so as to have the smallest number of pigs to feed and handle In the coldest part of the winter when the weather is co'.d and wet. For winter grazing artichokes should be planted. This crop is not any more difficult to grow than Irish potatoes, They will make a yield of several hundred bushels per , acre and provide a succulent and most desirable form of food for brood . s??ws and other hogs during the win? ter season. In the spring fall-sown I oats and vetch will serve every pur i j pose. Some oats may be sown in the ' spring so as to prolong the sequence lot crops. Rape will also be a very j valuable crop for spring grazing. j Most people do not realize the value I of oats as a food for hogs. It has j been shown that when the grain is passing out of the dough stage when I I i the animals are turned on this crop that from 300 to 500 pounds of poi ; may often be secured. The hogs will gather and harvest the gram I very completely and the straw and litter left on the ground will enrich j the soil materially. i Unquestionably, a comparatively ! small are.i of land may be m ade to accommodate a relatively large num? ber of hogs, and if the herd Is pro? tected by the use of the serum treat? ment, the loss may l>e reduced to a minimum, and in ;? meat majority of cases prevented altogether. It has been demonstrated that pork may be made at a cost of 2.ft to 8.ft cents a pound on graving crops. Ev< n at a higher figure it can be made at less than half the COSt which will be en? tailed where grain is fed. There is not b section <>f the South which Is not admirably adapted for the growth ? of the variety of soiling crops neces? sary to produce pork under the gras? system with economy and ad? vantage to the farmer.

Summer Visitors Cause Order of im? pulsion from Malaga [aland. Aroused by the complaints of sum- ! mer visitors and nearby residents in the beautiful town of Phlppsburg, At- : torney General Pattangall, according to a Bangor, Me., special, has given notice to about forty degenerates now Inhabiting the little Island of Malaga, at tin* mouth of the New Meadows river, to va< nte the Island. Descended from s Portuguese sail? or and a white woman, these benight? ed people, only a mile from the seat of one of Maine's leading'Colleges at Brunswick, live like savages, only re? cently observing the laws of God and man. They are composed of negroes, Portuguese and whites, and, neglected by mankind, have lived a life under almost unimaginable conditions. The old tribal customs still prevail among these people. They have a king in John P. Murphy, who Is boas of the island and the most Intelligent j and only self-supporting citizen of Malaga. He owns a mo tor boat and makes a pood living lobster tishing and taking summer visitors sailing and fishing. These people pay no taxes, observe no laws and Jive or six years ago were so low In the human scale that a lo? cal justice of the peace went over to the island, shot a half dozen dogs ami married all the couples he could round up. The death of the dogs caused the more comment. The v.ays of the week, calendar dates, people's ages, definite pater? nities?these things are unknown quantities among the Malagaites. They live in hovels that, for lack of sanitation, are almost inconceivable. With one or two exceptions the shacks have dirt Moors and a single room. Here men, women children. blacks and whites, cats and dogs, to say nothing of other crawling things, live and have their being. There are more dogs and goats in Malaga to the square foot than any w here else in the world, possibly ex? cepting Constantinople.?Exchange. The Star recently announced that Editor T. [* Gant, of the Whiteville News-Re porter, was going to be off on a jaunt to Chimney Rock and oth? er sequestered nooks of the moun? tain country of western North Caro? lina. With a number of genial com? panions he started off a few days ago and they are having a good time fol? lowing up the call of the wild. It is a care-free party. and Editor Oantt is the freest from it of anybody else, for he threw down editorial work, abandoned the print shop and went off bent on seeing all the sights and getting tht most out of life. The News-Reporter editor knew he could afford to take a vacation, for he was aware he could leave the paper In the capable' hands of his I daughter, Mrs. Helen Qantt Mima, it might be a good joke on h;m to say that the readers of the News-Report? er are glad he has gone, but, of course, they are glad because he can enjoy a rest from his arduous labors without any detriment to the paper. In fact, the lady editor is taking ad? vantage of him while he Is gone and Is getting out a paper of such excel? lence and merit that the readers of the paper are delighted. They ap? preciate the ability, the chlpperness and the thoroughness that this week < haracterises the News-Reportert and like ihe people of Whiteville and Co? lumbus county, the Star desires to express its appreciation t)f the high? ly creditable paper which comes tr us this week. Mrs. Mims is a young woman of splendid talent and strik? ing gifts, and, for one who Is barely more than a girl, she Is producing a paper that would set most exper? ienced newspaper men to bragging.

South Carolina Claim> Four Meli ? ? Savlvors, All of Palmetto Regi? ment. Columbia, Aug. 14.?Mow many South Carolina veterans of the Mexi? can war SUrviVS? The question came up in conversation at the stale house, with Mr. W. 1?. McLeurtn, State land agent, and as a result he and a newspaper man dropped in to see Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr.. secretary of the State Historical Commission. Mr. Salley said that he understood there were four Mexican survivors, all veterans of the Palmetto regiment: James Alfred McKee, of Eesley, Mat? thews B. Stanley, of Marlon coui ty, Joseph Culbreath, of Johnston, and J. J. Martin, now living at East Point, Ga. It is possible there are others, and if so It is hoped the publication of this article will bring the fact to public notice. It was the Palmetto regiment Which captured the works of Santa Anna at Churubusco?which is not Cherubus co. by the way. In that attach the regiment lost both Colonel P!eree M. Butler and Lieutenant Colonel Dick? inson, and Major Gladden was badly wounded. The negro body servant who brought Lieutenant Colonel Dick? inson's body back to the family home in Kershaw county died only a short time ago, and was buried with hon? ors at Cemden. There are a number of Mexican war soldiers surviving in different parts of the country, concerning whom it is mistakenly thought th?y were members of the Palmetto regi? ment, when in fact they were mem? bers of another South Carolina regi? ment, rec ruited later, which did not see service afield, the war closing just as they reached Vera Cruz. Maxe y Gregg was lieutenant colonel. FORECAST OF WEATHER. Hot Wave Will be Followed by a Week of Fooler Weather. Washington, .tug. 13.?Sultry weather from which only the South? ern Pacific coast States will be ex? empt, is promised for the country th? coming week. According to th<} weekly forecast of the weather bu teau, the hot wave will be fllowed in the week by cdoler weather, numer? ous thunder storms and local show? ers marking the change. The fore? cast says: "The distrbution of atmospheric pressure over the Northern hemis? phere is such as to indicate that mod? erately high temperatures will pre? vail the first half of the week in the middle West and until the last of the coming week in tno Eatsern States; in the Southern States and on the Pa? cific slope normal temperatures are probable. A change to lower tem? perature will overspread the North? western States by the last of the week. "The principal barometric depres? sion to cross the country during the wi ek is now over the far Northwest; it will move eastward over the Mid? dle West about Wednesday and reach the Bestem St ites about Friday; it will be preceded and attended by con? siderable cloudiness and local show? ers and thunderstorms." GOMEZ COtXD NOT REECKE. Wiling to Becoene Candidate for Mex? ican President. Mexico City, \ug. 13.?Dr. Fran? cisco Vasquez Gomez today announc? ed blfl willingness to become a can? didate for the presidency of the re publlC In S talk With an Associated Press representative he said that should the antl-re-electlonlsts nomi? nate him he would not See his way clear to refuse the offer. At the same time, however, he declared that hi3 relations with Francisco 1. Madero. Jr., were of the most cordial nature and added with a smile that he was still the candidate for the vice-presi dencj of the Madero ticket. Another surprise came today when it became known that the old fight between church and state would be resumed in Mexico. Notwithstanding the separation effected by lienito Juarez, .almost half a cenutry ago, the Catholic church, aiding through the "national Catholic party has formally Issued a call for a convention to place In nomination ;? candidate for the presidency. That the anti-re-electionists will place Dr. Vasques In nomination ap? pears probable In view of their for? mal break with Madero last night, i .e. a use of Madero's refusal to an? nul the constitutional progressive party, which he caused to be created i few weeks aero, the anti-re-election? ista repudiated him and named Dr. Vaequei as the beud of their party.
