AS TOLD BY ATLANTA PREACHER LAST NIGHT GOOD RIM i BEGINS SOO0 J HUB. 18. 1912 c ; - t - :-vV Last night to a good congregation in the First Baptist church Dr. Hulten delivered .the third sermon preached (Siring the present series of meetings. Tue size of the congregations during these rainy bad days indicate that the building will be taxed to' its full ca pacity when the weather clears. The sermon last night was clear, practical and convincing. "Personal Work" was the theme, and it was convincingly shown that the progress of Christian work depends upon per sonal, individual efforts for individ uals. , Dr. Hulten continues to delight and help' those who hear him- With a brilliant mind, a ready command of language, and a warm heart Dr. Hul ten is easily one of the very best preachers of the entire land. The meeting at the First Baptist church will continue through next week, closing Sunday night one week f r-nrn noif t KimdaV. Dr. Hulten will preach each night nt 8:30 and three times on ounuay Everybody invited. My Arrival of Officer Quells A Disturbance The dampness of the atmosphere of the past several days did not deter four white women from engaging in a setto of somewhat alarming propor tions yesterday just outside the city limits. Te scene ot tms manic struggle was staged in the section commonly called by that euphomious and highly poetic abbreviation, the "Rye Patch." Quite appropriately named in this particular instance, for the mysterious, elusive, and .almost uncanny disappearance or some ten and a fraction gallons of the ardent liquod was the casus belli wmcn pre cipitated these four unfortunates into a regular old-time hair puiiing con tpst not into a commonplce and de gr&aing fistic encounter and then on and n through the varying degrees of assult and battery until a drawn fmn on the nart of one of these Ama zons put a quietus on the bloodthirsty aspirations of the ctner participants. In the words of one of the onlook ers who. hv the wav was called from the scene of carnage rather hurriedly on matters of imperative business when the gun was brougnt into piay it was a great and glorious scrap One which would have put to shame the recent embroiglios among the hot beaded South Americans and have made them forever forswear their nnnv revolting. According to the evidence deduced before Sauire Hood in his apartmentf at the court house, it seems that two of the women had been accused of stealing several gallons of whiskey from a hiding place thought to be free from the ken of even the most tnirsty. Anyway the whiskey was stolen and it was evident that someone could be uroDerly called the thief. Whether or not the name was correctly applied i nthis case was not decided but the tima of such an accusation rested heavy on the minds of the accused and a few minutes of cogitation or their nart resulted in exceeding great wrath. Words of violent import were bandied about on botn sides witn al most as much frequency as the rair which was nouring down in torrents The more violent and the more lurid the bandigage became the closer tne combatants approached, until nnaiiy hev were all in such close proximity that the expressive gesticulation igaich accompanied tne conversation for greater emphasis seriousiy inter fered with each other. From the ac cidental touching of each other's per son in this manner grew tne real De clining of hostilities. Hair pulling on nearly all sides introduced the evening's festivities. Then on into higher realms in one round of which a stick about three feet long was no ticed playing a tattoo on some one's head. The final round in which the gun was brought into play was inter rupted by the timely appearance of Deputy Case who corraled the bunch and then escorted them to the Temple of Justice. All were adjudged guilty and the, school fund of the county was enriched to the extent of some several simoWms contributed by the gladia torpChtts passed into history a memorable battle. . The Corn Wagons. Abbeyili Press and Banner. In tj&et "good old summer 'time of fifty years ago, when Thor threw his mighty bolts through the summer at-,-mosphere and the thunders resound - ed over hill and dale, the negroes .were wont to exclaim, "The corn wagons! the corn wagons-" The distant rumbzling of the thun der sounded like the rumbling of a wagon loaded with corn in the shuck; ad4, too, -tfoe thunder accompanied 'the rains necessary to make the . corn. So it was. thunder was known '' - as " the corn wagons." 'i-. . The corn wagons have been rumb ling for some time 'about the coun ' try, but the accompanying rains have ' been few; ' Mr. Sarah Little who has been spending the summer here returned to her home in Spartanburg yester day. Mr. Fred Oates of Asheville" after a visit of two or three days in the city returned yesterday to his home. Mr. W. L. Martin who has been spending the" past two- weeks with his sister Mrs. J. D.

Lewis, Mrs Wolfe, and Miss Sherrie Lewis who have . been spending the summer at Mrs. Wal drop's will return to their homes in Albany, Ga., tomorrow. That it rains on saints and sinners alike was plainly evidenced yester day when T. R. Barrows and an an other gentlman were seen with their clothes completely saturated. The weather man in parceling out rain for the various portions of the country must have made a mistake and gave this section the supply ni-. tended for Charlotte. Else remorse jver the recent dry spell deter mined him to even up old scores. Mr and Mrs W. H. Bangs and family who have been "spending several days inthe city returned to their home in Atlanta lat night Mr. Bangs is pleas antly remembered here on account of his former connection with the Light and Power Co., in the capacity of .Superintendantj His renewance jf old friendship was very pleasant and a more prolonged stay would have Deen entirely proper Miss Mattie .

The consequent muddy condition of the streets has boosted his. business con siderably and he is now ready to place another stand directly in front of the present one. He says that he never saw the real estate ' market so active in all his life, nearly every per son that passes carries large por tions of it on his shoes. War Breaks Out in Chicago's China town. Chicago, Aug. 30. A tong war broke out today in Chinatown. Lee Yip Wing, a merchant, is dead, Moy Long Tong, a laundryman, was shot and wounded The shooting was done by Chu Tu Mun, who escaped in a taxicab. Tong is a cousin of Frank Moy, Chinatown's "king."

Aug. 29 A de tachment of marines from the navy yard here left today for Port Royal, S C The remaining marines ' will leave property here to civilian care takers. The Accomac, the largest of the tugs, has been ordered 'to- Bos ton. - Among the Atlanta people who went through the terrible experiences of the hurricane which visited Charleston, S. C, and the neighboring coast last Sunday night was Dr. Dunbar Ogden, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church. He was on Sullivan's island with his two oldest children spending a vaca tion. It was the first storm he had ever seen and the emphatically hopes that it will be the last one. The story told by Dr. Ogden of the storm's dangers and devastation on Sullivan's island is a thrilling one. 'We did not get any storm warnings from the weather bureau on Sullivan's island," he declares, "though I notice the papers say we did. Practically everyone on Sullivan's island was tak en unawares and few got away before the storm broke. "Sunday was rainy and raw, with a strong wind coming from the north west. A heavy sea wag running and it was an impressive sight to see the wind catch the spray from the break er and toss it far ashore. During the afternoon of Sunday the wind got higher, and about nightfall it veered, so that it came in almost directly from the ocean. "By the time darkness set in it was blowing a gale and the water was be ginning to rise. In an hour our cot tage, which was about on a line with the hotel, some two city blocks dis tant from the beach, was rocking and shaking, and we were busy piling fur niture against the doors and windows to keep them from blowing in. Por tions of the roof were torn away and the rain, which poured down in a driving tovrent, beat through the holes and inundated the floors of the house. "All night we sat up There was no sleep for ppyone. Tne children did sleep a li'. e, as we tried to keep them At the Palace. Perhaps the best program of the en tire season was put on last night, and to say that it pleased is a rather mild way of expressing it. Both films were clear distinct and, better still, were about something of an entertain ing nature. The western picture show ing life in Arizona in the eighties was of unsusual merit. The best testi monial of its thrilling power is that the scene in which the cowboy tells his mother goodby brought tears from several in the audience. It takes a powerfully heart gripping picture to do this, but this one last night turn ed the trick. No doubt the expres sive music from the orchestra was partly to account for it. The two new new members of local fame who have added . to this fine musical aggrega tion make it one of the best ones to be found anywhere in the south in any moving picture show. Their sel ections last night were more than good all the way through. They accom plished something unheard of before in this place wonderful to relate they won applause from the audience. The same musical program would go good tonight. At The Lyric. In the list of arrivals and departure : of people of note and considerable repputation in the community, the names of two very distinguished and popular men were inadvertently omit ted. These two gentlemen who have really attained national prominence and columns upon columns of newspa per space arrived in tue city this af ternoon and will spend the night here before resuming their journey, un dertaken to propagate and diffues pleasure to a grim and sometimes sul len world. All efforts at seeking an interview with these two gentlemen have been entirely frustrated so far. They absolutely and emphatically de cline to talk. Even when questioned concerning their impressions of this magnificent weather and the remark able scenic sights of this section, they vouchsafed no reply. They even re fused to tell their names but a look at the booking for this week revealed the fact that Messrs "Mutt and Jeff were expected in the city tonight. Undoubtedly these are they. ine Car Tried The gasoline motor car of the Lau rel Park Street Railway was given another try .out yesterday and gave good results. The car made the trip to Laurel Park Retreat and back to town in quick time,' all day The dummy and one car mado the balance of the trip from the Retreat to the Swiss Railway, where the grade is rather stiff. - Many favorable com ments were heard from the passengers on the gasoline motor car, as to its convenience, speed, etc. Gasol in ignorance of the danger. The wind continued to get fiercer and fiercer. i could not have imagined, until I heard and felt it, that it could blow so hard. It gives one an impression ot awful force that "We thought of leaving the cottage ana trying to make our way to the forks on Sullivan's island. But it was black dark, and the wind and rain and danger of falling houses and wind blown roofs kept us from venturing out. We decided to stick to the trem bling little cottage and trust our of awful force. "Every once in a while we would take soundings of the water. It kept rising till about 6 o'clock in the night I tasted it and it was salty. By that I knew the sea was rolling in-over the island. We did not know how high it was coining. We did not know what minute our cottage would come down on us. "'Once in the night a party of life savers who were patrolling the car tracK.caine by and shouted reassur ance to us. "Finally morning came, and day light, but little cessation of wind. We peered through a window and such a sight of devastation met our gaze as never saw before. Cottages were blown down all around us. Roofs were scattered everywhere. Only the mgn sand dunes of the island . were visible. Water covered all the low places. The porch oZ our cottage was gone, and a big boat was smashed against the corner of the house." Late Monday afternoon Dr. Ogden and the party in his cottage got to the tort, an dthat night they spent in a hotel in Charleston. "The havoc wrought by the storm along the water front was frightful. says Dr. Ogden.- "I did not see a wharf or a dock left except 'the gov ernment's." Atlanta Journal. S.C. There's not a dollar in circulation in all western Carolina now that does not give out a faint and subtle odor or South Carolina. Columbia State. We are not able to discourse learn edly or a great length on the "faint and subtle odor of money in genera and the delicious and overpowing odor of the South Carolina money in par ticular, but we have heard people con versant with such things talk and we are going to give you the benfit 01 tneir Knowledge. True, monoy from different states can be readily distinguished through certain characteristics determined by one with old factory nowers educated in the dissimilar conditions of the various states. For instance. Money from Kentucky, boldly proclaims of mint juleps, fair women, and fast norses; money from North Carolina tells in clarion tones of woman in her highest state of perfection, of man grown to strong virile manhood, of scenery satisfying to all classes of people, and of climate unsurpassed in any section of the world; money from South Carolina breathes in a faint and subtle way of women fair to look upon, of men passing strong of hot torrid climate from which sur cease must be had, of storms and earthquakes from which one must flee, and of a certain high dignitary trom whom there is no escape. In addition to giving off this faint and subtle odor the money from the Palmetto state proceeds to "talk" and it tells in unmistakable terms of the reasons for changing homes, so to speak. It tells of the countless thous ands of South Carolinians sent back to their homes after a short sojourn in the mountains of this section com pletely rejuvenated and again ready for the tiresome and laborious grind of another nine months of the year It tells of the return, of the fair daughters for the winter gau'es with the bloom more than ever inde libly stamped on their cheeks and the coquettish sparkle more plainly lurk ing in the eyes, warning men to be ware. It tells of countless pleasures enjoyed by both sexes while spending a few months in this garden spot of the world. And when stress of work called us away it was still talking. Telegraphic Sparks. MAYS LANDING, N. J. Sixteen ad ditional indictments charging violation of the election laws in Atlantic City were returned today by the grand jury. ,. COLUMBUS, 6. A passenger train on the Hocking Valley railroad was wrecked here this morning while en tering the city. It wa sloaded with visitors to the state fair and several were reported injured. , SALISBURY, N. C. Charged with dealing in white slave traffic in the abduction of Clara Belle Gibbs, aged thirteen years. Mrs. Jenie Niel, aged twenty-five, of Lexington, was ar raigned in Rowan superior court in Salisbury today. r i money Hendersonville wil lhave one of the best Lyceum courses this fall that ha8 ever been here in recent years. Mr. H. C. Meyer has closd the contract with the Alkahest Lyceum System of Atlanta. Ga., for five of the best at tractions given by this company. Last year it will be remembered that the Boys Christian Club conduct ed a lyceum coures here and were successful in placing before the peo ple of Hendersonville several pleasing attractions. This year the management will give the people of Heudersonvile still bet ter attractions for the same money. There will be five attractions to take place all before Christmas. Literature and advertisements will appear in a few days announcing the opening attraction some time in Sep tember. Winter Corer Crops. The unprecendted drougth which prevails in some sections of the State is an object lesson as to the value of organic matter u: humus in the soil, as it is a well known fact that in ad dition to other desirable qualities de caying organic matter or humus in creases the water holding capacity of all soils. For tne protection of the soil and to provide against the disastrous ef foits of a possible drough next sum mer farmers should put in winter cover crops. The best crops for this purpose are the clovers, vetches, and small grain crops. On land where the clovers and vetches will grow successfully they are better than rye or other small giain crops, but where they will not grow it will be advisable to sow rye. f or best results these crops should be put in as quickly as posible, espec cially in the western part of the fctatc Prepare the land by disking and har rowing and sow 15 pounds clean crim son ciover seea per acre, and 11 con venient, sow also SOU pounds Acid Phosphate per acre, as that will help to insure a stand of clover. Some sow in addition to this one pound of turnip seed per acre, preferable the Cowhorer variety claiming that the turnip leaves protect the young clov er plants in their early stages. It can do no harm to sow the turnip seed as these ciops are intended to plow , under next spring to Improve the soil. The seed should be covered with a cultivator or with a harrow about one Inch deep. In the western part of the State these should be put in at once so as to make sufficient growth to withstand the winter. In the cen tral part of the State they should be put in not later than the last ot September, while in the eastern and warmer sections of the State they can be put in as late as the middle of October. in the Coastal Plain section Bur Clover is also fine for a wintpr rnvnr crop. The seed of thia is usually pur chased in the rough or bur and should I be planted at the rate of from three to four bushels of the burs per acre. and covered about one. inch deep. inese shojld go in at once. Acid phosphate can be used with these to advantage. ' Hairy vetch also makes a fine win ter-cover crop, and will succeed in almost any part of the State on well drained land, especially where Par tride or Mountain peas grow. If sown alone sow at the rate of 30 pounds of seed per acre, and If with rye or other small grain, one bushel of small grain and 20 pounds of vetch per acre. They should be sown at about the same time as crimson clov er and covered from one to two inches deep. - Where none of these crops will grow successfully sow rye at the rate of one and one half bushels per acre You want a heavy growth to protect tne land and to add a great quan- ity of vegetable matter when turned 'under next spring. Turn tinder two or three weeks be fore you wish to plant the crop which is to follow. Kye, especially, should not be permitted to get woody before turning under. Better turn it unde as soon as the heads begin to appear than to wait until it is grown. If it gets full grown and dry weather fol- ows it would leave the land so open and loose that the crop following It would suffer more than if no rye war put on the land. ... All these crops should be disked well and thoroughly cut up before plowing under next spring. Good results may be expected only when they are well mixed with the soil be fore the crop Is planted. If any one doubts the benefits t be had from these winter-cover cropr et him prepare one acre of average and and treat it as described above Next spring plant another acre by tfcr side of it that has had no wlnter-cov er crop and cultivate both alike. One demonstrations like this will usually convince a person of the value of winter-cover crops. Seed for any of the above mention ed crops can be had from almost any reputable seedman, but buy only the best and freshest from Impurities The best are none too good. The committee of arrangement! 'having the proposed automobile pa rade and hill climb In charr?, meet in the office of the Wantcaka Trust and Banking Company this af ternoon, at 2 o'clock and decided to postpone the event until August 18th. 1912. It la Bald the raina will have ceased by that time. Certainly the commit tee will have all arrangements made for the biggest event of the season All entry fees paid In the bill climb of 1912. will be ' Immediately refunded by the secretary of the committee. THE AUTO BALL The automobile ball, to be given at Laurel Park on Friday night, la go ing to be unique In many reapecta, and will undoubtedly be the most Import ant social function of the present sea son. The ball Is given in honor of the contributors to the Automobile Meet Fund, a full list of whose names will published In tomorrow's Daily Herald. Tue Casino will literally be a bower of beauty by the time the Invited guests begin to assemble on the Hour, scores of wagon loads of evergreens, laurel and rhododendron have al ready been utilized In the comprehen sive scheme of decoration decided upon. Japanese lanterna. suspended from the rafters of the building will shed their softly subdued light upon the dancing throng, while electric bulbs will here and there ahlno aa stars among the masses of greenery. Tne orchestra will be seated In an automobile oa the floor of the hail not a real, aure 'nuff gasoline wagon, you know, but one that looks very much like it. The punch will be serv ed from a but that would be telling a buried in the deepest mystery. Tne floor of the Casino Is generally admitted to be the best for dancing of any amusement pavilion In North Car olina, and for thla special occasion It will be practically perfect. The or chestra engaged la first class, the decorations will be extremely beauti ful and the automobile ball, to re peat, will be the most Important so cial function of the season of 1911. HEELER HOTEL The dance at the Wheeler hotel last night, contrary to expectations, wsa enjoyed by a large crowd. It waa thought that the rain which fell al- mo8t Intermittently during the day and most of the night would keep the larger part of the pleasure lovers away, but numbers of them mustered up their courage sufficiently to brave the rain and mud In order to answer present when the dancing began. For several hours the dancing continued on this excellent floor and even when adjournment waa In order at a late hour, many found It hard to leave. The music waa or the kind calculated to make one dance without conscious effort almcat. Some of the waluea were especially tantalizing and simply lured one on the floor regardless of whether or not he wanted to dance. These dances at the Wheeler hotel are becoming more popular each night and succeeding nights aee the crowda Increased by additional numbers who have heard of the excellence of the music and floor. It will be hard to say goodby to these affairs which seem to grow more pleasant as the season neara the close. Countless numbers who have participated In them thla summer will have aome very pleasant remembrances to con jure up In the bleak cold days of win ter while planning to ao arrange mat ters aa to be able to return again at he beginning of next season. And r.ost of those who have had a round if these pleasures will return, for to snjoy some of them Is to crave eag erly for more. Good Hoada Taloe-Xak'r". Catawba County Newa. We note a Mecklenburg farm ad vertised thus: "Fourteen acree ror . 1,300 four ml lea from court hous rhat l nearly $100 an acre, and the rerson Is, 'on macadam- road," Borne people say thfy don"t want froou cads because It will make their land ;o up ana tney win nave u vj nore taxes. The history or tax aa- lessementa In counties where gocu oad have aent values flying upward u that there has been comparatively ittle Increase in value for taxation; but even If good road a did ao in creaes valuea as to make a man pay more tax. It seems strange that any body woald double or treble or qaud- ruple the worth of his property. Good roads make farm landa a whole lot more valuable than the aame lands are worth on mud roads. . 7i K
