A Sallsburlan Drowned.
Boston, Aug 11 . When the
naval tog Nezinscott, Captain
Thomas E, Evans, foundered in
the gale of Rockport this after
noon four of her crew lost their
lives. Both of the whita men,
Dr.Chas. F. Trotter, aating, assist
ant naval surgeon, and G. X.
Traylor, a seaman, are natives of
North Carolina. Trotter entered
the naval service from FraDklin,
N. C, last April and was on duty
at the naval hospital at Ports
mouth, C. L. Traylor was a native
of Salisbury, N. C, son of Chas
A. Travlor, and made the trip
around the world on the battle
ships Wisconsin and Illinois. HiB
time was to have expired in a few
months and he was transferred
from the Wisconsin to the tug
briftt. The other men drowned
were two negroes.
Dr. Trotter had succeeded in
grasping a grating, together with
Prosperity Begins on the Farm.
There is every indication that
he harvest this year will surpass,
both m quantity and value, the
crop yield of any other year for a
deoad9.
Captain Evans aud Machinist
Mate Belfrie, but was washed off
after a two hours' battle with the
waves. The captain and Belfre
were unable to render him any
aid.
The fight for life when the lit
tle tug, laden with anchors and
anchor chans, pitched in the high
seas and turned turtle was a
thrilling one. Captain Evans
and all hands were thrown into
the sea with little preparation.
Boatswain's Maie Bitter grasped
the wife of Captain Evans and
tied a life preserver about her,
then dragged her to safety
After many hours of suffering
and fear in the water all hands
were picked up by the Gloucester

Farm Values and Good Roads.
It is said that in Jackson county,
Alabama, the price of farm lands
has risen from six to fifteen dol
lars an acre and in Bradley county,
lennessee, it nas doubled since
the building of good roads in thoBe
localities. Men seeking farms
prefer those that are located on
good roads and will pay higher
prices for them. With the pro
gress that is being made in the es
tablishment of good roads and in
the knowledge of their advantage
to the ownerB of farms the time
will soon come when it will be
difficult to rind purchasers, at any
decent price for farms which are
not so located. Intensive farm
ing, the greatest yield prossible
per acre, is the order of the day
with intelligent farmers, aud it is
spreading so rapidly that in the
near future the man who does not
follow this plan will be left so far
behind that he will not be consid
ered in the class of producers.
Hand in hand with these new farm
ing methods go easy across to
markets and cheaper transporta
tion of farm products to centres
of trade. These can be secured by
those farms only which have ac
cess to good roads. Great high
ways between widely separated
sections"of the country over which
there can be easy and rapid travel
is a condition greatly to be de
sired, but such roads will not add
nearly so much to any section of
the country through which they
pass as will a number of well
made roads leading from the
centres of trade into the surround
ing farming territory. The latter
are the roads which will build up
the towns and add to the pros
perity of the rural districts.

Killed Wife and Wounded Lover.
Al Thompson to-day shot and
killed his wife and wounded W. H
Seaman, the man with whom she
eloped recently. The wife and
Seaman had returned and abduct
ed two children in Thompson's
possession and to regain possession
of the children the shooting oc
curred .
The report is that Thompson,
upon learning that his wife had
returned and secured his children,
armed himself with a revolver and
went and demanded them. Sea
man met him on the porch and re
fused to surrender the children,
whereupon Thompson shot him

bullet, which is lodged in his
breast or shoulder.

and surrendered. The woman
