FAT III*: It AM) SON CLAIM TO IIAVE BUCKS ATTACKED liX VICTIMS. J. K. Wells nnd Pink Dover Drain? ed by id ami Iliad Turney, Ac? cording to Coroner's Jury. Yorkville. May 0.?J. K. Wells and Pink Dover were killed last night at 11 o'clock in the neighborhood of the battleground by Ed Torney and his son, Thad Torney. Ed und Thad Turney, according to their story, left their home, which is about four miles from the killing, and went up on Clark's Fork tlshing. They left their mule and buggy at a negro house und went to tho creek. Wher. they came back to their mule and buggy at 11 O'clock that night, the young man went to tho negro cabin to got his laprobo and the old man got be? tween the shafts and was turning the buggy around when three men walked up and told him with an oath to hold up his bunds. The oldor Turney isked them what they meant. They again told him with another oath to hold up his hands and at the same time one of thorn shot at him. The older Turney pulled his pistol and com? menced shooting at him. Wells and Dover were advancing on tho older Turney. It is supposed that young Turney in running out of the yard picked up a baseball bat and brained both Dover and Wells, while his lather was shooting at M. M. Farris, tho third man. No motive or feeling about it was brought out. It is said that the Turneys did not know whom they had killed until next morning. A. J. Qulnn, magistrate of King's Mountain township, acted in place of Coroner Plack. The verdict of the Jury was that Pink Dover and J. K. ' Wells came to their dcata by some I blunt instrument in the bands of Ed lai ; Thad Turney. Tho two Turneys ! uro In jail. A Manning Invention. Manning's inventor, Mr. Chas. R.

If there is nothing like it, and it is a I success there is no doubt that Mr. I Harvin has a fortune in his invention, I because, with the tendency to force railroads to have better safety ap? pliances on their cars the railroad managements nro looking for the very latest and best there is*to be had; if Mr. Hnrvin has hit what the rail? roads need, and it looks very much like ho has solved tho safety appli? ance and airbrake problem, then Man j ning will have in the near future a j citizen who has reaped a reward to j leave behind him the results of his [genius.?Manning Times.

COTTON MEETING CLOSES. important changes in riles REt ommended. lYimnltlrrr Appointed to nee Tex? tile Leaders ami Urge Revision of Regulations. Augusta, Ca., May G.?The Nation? al Cotton conference, which has been in session here sine?' Monday morn? ing, conclude* its business and ad? journed at 1.1 o'clock this morning, after recommending revision of the "Carolina mill rules'' and the "New England terms of buying and selling cotton." To meet with the heads of organi? zations represented in the New Eng? land agreement, composed of the Arkwright club, the New England Cotton Buyers association and the Fall River association to present the revisions as Adopted and urge their acceptance by those organizations, a committee was appointed composed of J. S. Hall of Augusta, John S. Halo of Meridian, Mississippi Cotton association; H. R. Gould of the New Orleans cotton exchange; J. A. Leathers, of Spartanburg, and W. C. Lawson, representing the Waco cotton exchange and the Texas Cotton asso? ciation. In the "Carolina mill rules" the principal revision is that which makes drafts payable when due instead of three days thereafter, and provisions that mills bear the expense of freight of cotton In all instances where sell era' weights are found correct upon rcweight at the mills. The revision in the New England mill rules permits delivery differences to be the average differences between grades as existing in New York, New Orleans. Memphis and Augusta ex? changes. In cases of arbitration tho buyer and seller arc to select an ar? bitrator each and they a third if the two can not agree, the agreement to bo made within 30 days or Anally determined by the president of the manufacturers' association in the State wherein the mill is located. All expense involved is to be set against the party losing the arbitration, but matters of length of staple and spe? cific grade are to he arbitrated only in New Orleans or V icksburg. The most important New England change is the following regulation on ! the delivery of cotton, which is added to the existing rules, replacing those in conflict: "Cotton must bo weighed as promptly as possible, but within 48 hours, at the point of dischargo from the time it is unloaded at Fall Riv? er, New Hcdford, Mass., and all oth? er practicable points. The receiving ! weight shall he tagged on each bale. There shall be one-quarter pound al? lowance per bale allowance, after 48 hours, for every day's delay in weighing." Claims for excess tare, which have heretofore been permissible within nino months, are changed to come within a limit of 30 days, and any gain in weight at the mill is made to apply against any claim for excess tare as made by the mill. Upon conclusion of these revisions tho conference adjourned. MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES. To Be Observed at Trinity Church Sunday Afternoon?Prof. D. W. Daniels to Make Address.

To a select committee of 15 will be l|ven tho task of solving for the church the situation caused by the recent decision of the supremo court of Tennessee removing Vanderbllt university from tho direct jurisdiction of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. This was decided upon at tho open? ing session today of the conference after tho college of bishops, in an address read by Bishop W. A. Chand? ler of Atlanta, Ga., expressed the opinion that, in view of the decision of the court, "leaving to tho church only a mere shadow of connection with the university," the church would not be justitled "in any further at? tempts to direct its uffairs or assume responsibility for it." The committee will proba jly be named by Bishop A. W. Wilson of Baltimore, senior bishop tomorrow. Tho resolution providing for tho ap? pointment of the committee was in? troduced by the Rev. J. 11.

Anderson, May G.?Piro originating from explosion of gasoline this af? ternoon totally destroyed a warehouse and contents belonging to J. W.

Forty-eight second-hand au? tomobiles were destroyed, also 100 new wagons. One end of the building was used as a garage, and when the keeper at? tempted to crank an automobile which had a defective crank box the explosion occurred, the tlames spread? ing through the building, which was an immense corrugated iron struc? ture, before the alarm could be turn? ed in. The firemen did gallant work, but the heat was so intense they could not get near the building. They did effective work in saving nearby resi? dences. The building was valued at $5,000 with insurance of $2,500. The con? tents were valued at $33,000 to $35, 000 with insurance of $20,000.

The audience which greeted Miss Attaway, State organizer of the W. C. T. C, at Trinity Chureh on Monday evening was not as large as it should have been, but it lacked nothing in interest ami attention as the speakor narrated pathetic incidents ami gave graphic description! of the blighting curse ami devastating power of strong drink.

Setting the Plants?liefore t.iking up the plants, tin- soil in which they! are growing should be thoroughly soaked in order to make It adhere to Xho roots. If the plains are not grown in Individual receptacles, us large a ball of soil as possible should be taken up with each plant. A good method to use in setting the plants Is] to open a furrow with a turn plow and set tlie pli ntn In the furrow. If the soil is dry. pot r in ; bout a pint of water around each plant. As soon as the water has soaked in, pull some dry soil around the plant. If your plants have daveU ped a good leafage,i they should be "sheared" before trans? planting to 1-10 acre plats. This shearing Is a good thing to remember in connection with all transplanting. It takes some little time for the. newly set roots to adjust themselves and get water from the soil. If there is much leaf surface, the evaporation! will send away far more water tha:. the plants get from tho roots and they will die. When the leaves are eut away, evaporation is cheeked un? til the roots can begin to do their work. Care must be taken, however, not to cut out the bud from whic h the i plant grows. The distance of planting depends on the methods of culture. Where the plants are to bo pruned to one or two stems and tied to stakes, make the rows 3 to 4 feet apart and set the! plants 2 to 2 1-2 feet apart in the row. If the plants are not to be trained to stakes, set them 3 to 4 feet apart, in the row with the rows 1 feet apart. Fertilizer?Even where manure is Used, commercial fertilizer should be applied, as the manure will not sup? ply all the elements of plant food needed. For soil that is manured at the rate of 2 to 3 loads on the 1-10 acre plats, it is advisable to apply 10 to 20 pounds of nitiate of soda, SO to 100 pounds of 10 per cent acid phos? phate and 10 to 30 pounds of muriate or sulphate of potash, to the plat. Where tho soil is well supplied with potash the amount < r muriate or sul? phate of potash e? aid be reduced. On fairly rich soils use tho smaller amounts suggested and on poorer soils use the larger amounts. The fertiliser can be applied broadcast or sown in the row. When distributed in the furrow, the fertilizer should be well mixed with the soil by running a cultivator along the row. After the fertilizer is well mixed with the soil in furrow, the ridges should be thrown up over tho row and leveled off with a light drag. It should be noted that cotton seed meal is not used, and that more potash and less nitrogen is best, the more so, for pruned plants. Air rlacked lime applied to the soil at the rate of 20 to 200 pounds to the tenth acre will*benefit a tomato crop, if it is thoroughly plowed under or har? rowed in during the winter. A sur? face sprinkling of lime should be made around plants now. Lime im? proves soil condition! by correcting acidity, assisting in decomposing hu? mus or vegetable matter, making a stiff clay Boll porous and a light soil heavier.
