burning the stables of Dr. Acker, which
were recently destroyed by an incen

first negro to enter the store, who hap
pened to be Will Pope, an inoffensive
man.
West then went out and began chas
ing two other negroes with pistol in
hand, but was overpowered and dis

the black population of Montovillo when

ing from the wound in her temple, and
died without regaining consciousness.
Her husband was sleeping in the bed
with her. He was awakened by the

just in time to see the man jump
through the window and off the porch.

STARTING A MOVEMENT
SUGGESTED TnAT THE LADlls,
GARDEN CLUB SHOULD
1NTR0DU3E THIS INDUSTRY.
Called to the
Growth of Bee Culture iu
a Neighboring State
—Money in It.
The work of maosdamizlng College
avenue from Gancook avenne to Clay-
ten street baa progressed far enongh for
one to see what a great improvement it
Hill be when finished.
The park in the center of the street
will be lovely, and. the macadamizing
will be thorough and enduring,
Street Commissioner Barnett has
determined to make tbis work sbow np
to the greatest possible advantage. He
is anxious that the avenue be made so
beautiful that eitizena will be readily
convinced of the need, and the great
eovenince as well as beauty of paved
or macadamized streets.
Thia work will be done without aoy
inconvenience to tax payers. In fact it
will be done in the face of the fact that
tbis year the city of Athens with
large redaction in tax assess
ments has also lowered the tax rate to
one per cent.
It is argued with muob force that if
each work can he done one year It oan
be done in each succeeding year, and
that while it would be slow it would
nevertheless be sure improvement of
tbe olty. *
Many citizens are favorable to tbe
continuation of thia work from year to
year until all the streets in tbe business
portion of the city are either paved or
macadamized.
It has already been anggeated that
next year thia work be taken up at the
Southern Mutual corner and oarried to
the Campus gate. Then College avenue
would be a lovely street from tbe cam
pus to Hanoock avenue.
In connection with this work a citiz in
has suggested that the name of College
avenue be changed to that of Universi
ty avenne, and that at tbe next meeting
of Conncil a resolution will bs intro
duced to that eff- ct.
A gentleman who keeps posted on the
industrial development t f our state i i
who ie especially enthusiastic oy er ic-u
enterprises has suggested that the
dies’ Garden Club should make a ilicu
departure and besides giv.n* t t8 Mrn 6 ‘

THE BOAT GIVEN A TEST.
Craft That Cun stay Unitor Water it D»j
With to Tli»*e on Hoard.
Oshkosh. Whs. June 24—The Rad-
datz submarine boat was given another
test here, and with success. The ship
is 65 feet long, 4 feet wide and 7% feet
high. It is built of steel plates on a
heavy framework of angle irons, with
an estimated streugth sufficient to with
stand safely the pressure due to a sub
mersion to a depth of 500 feet.
It carries two sets of propelling ma
chinery, a hot air engine of SO horse
power, for use on the surface, and an
electrio motor for propulsion beneath
the surface. Several trials have demon
strated the capability of the craft to
navigate beneath the surface of the wa
ter for a day at a stretch with safety.
Trials have also shown that the craft
can be made to rise and fall in the wa
ter at the wish of the operator, and with
various velocity. A complete submer
sion of the boat can be made in lb sec
onds. If it is desirable to hold the craft
suspended in the water at any desired
depth an automatic machine is provided
which is capable of maintaining the
ship at a given depth for boars at a
time, with a variation in depth of less
than 1 inch from the given mark, either
with the ship in motion or when still
An automata machine is provided to
prevent the submersion of the craft, ei
ther by intention or accident, beyond a
predetermined depth.
Plan of Y«*rke* In K»iilizfld.
Chicago, Jane 24.—The long cher
ished plan of Charles T. Yerkes, the
street railway magnate, to ba in a posi
tion to manufacture all machinery
needed by street railways in Chicago,
New York. Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
has at last been realized. The Siemens-
Halske Electrio company, with its fac
tory iu Chicago, is now being consoli
dated with the Penn ironworks of Phil
adelphia. The majority of the stock of
the Chicago company has already been
exchanged sor the stock of the Penn
company. The minority stockholders
have been given 60 days in whioh to ac

Tfip combined capital is $3,250,000.
No Combination Against Roll.
Detroit, June 24—Before the con
vention of owners . f independent tele
phone systems resumed its session, the
Detroit Telephone company, the largest
organization represented, announced
that it wonld not unite with the newly
organized Independent Telephone Asso
ciation of America. President Holmes
of that comp tuy said that his people did
not propose to join any organization
whose object is litigation with the Bell
company. The Detroit people say they
do not propose to be assessed 60 cents
per telephone and 25 cents per mile of
wire to fight legal battles concerning a
question in which they are not inter
ested.
that is to be derived from this industry

He handed the reporter % clip pn .
from the News and Courier, end
gested that those who were interested
should write to Dr. A. T. p eetti ^
Branoliville, S. C., for the article me r .
tioned.
Many cf our readers, says the N,,,
and Courier, will remember the sen**
of entertaining and instructive articles
by Dr. A. T. P«.ete, of Branchville,
tbe threefold subjset of bits, fl,’ Wer|
and honey, which we printed shoot i
year ago They presented the hoi^j
making industry in a new light to mu;
people in this part of the country, 1,4
were well oalculatsd to awaken 1 wide,
apread interest in bee-keepiog ; n
grounds of both pleisnre and prod., p
is to be hoped that they made many 0!
the small honey factories to grow where
there were few before, and we are ion
that every one who aoted on Dr. P«t«’i
suggestions and followed ms oere'ol
instructions has blessed hu name muy
a time ainoe in view of the dainty best-
fits derived from them. ,
A lady could handle any box In the
lot with white kid gloves without tcil-
ing them. Of the honey, nothing more
need be said than that it is as white uj
water, hia a mild and delioious flavor,
and is literally as well as poetically til
cream of fljwers.
In hia letter accompanying the pvl-
ages, Dr. Peete says:
“We have a varied 11 ira, but this ptr-
tioular honey ia made from persimmon
and gall berry blossoms, and this in
gests rt Auctions upon the thousands ot
acres of gall berry bushes, where there
are none but wild bees to gather ;he
neotar, or may be a few black bees in
box h:v«a or cypress logs, in which Dot
spring honey and tbe rank fall prodr.ct
are mixed together, to be af erwnrdi
dumped promiscuously into barrel)and
tubs, To secure the finest and highlit
priced honey, like this sample, it ii
only necessary to have the right him
and the right kind of bees, and to gut
the bees the proper attention daring
about two months out of tbe year.”
The persimmon and gall berry blos
soms are everywhere in their season.
The floe sample of homy which Dr,
Peete’s bees have produced at Breach-
ville could.be duplicated ever; spring
in practically unlimited quantity,
in every oounty and in every city and
town and village and on every fare
in the State! It is only necestaryto
thia end, he says, to have the right klcd
of hives and bees and to attend to ths
bees properly about eight weeks out of
fifty. Certainly so prc.fi :able results
are well worth so little carel The right
kind of hives and bees can be readily
obtained, and very little instrnctioi
and practice in managing them rill
make ahem available for lasting ana
paying servioe to any household. IU*

gressive farmers and the progreuiw
wives and daughters and sons of farmer*
