It was the general opinion of those present that if the thirty or forty onion growers of this county would form an associa tion and work together it would be very beneficial to all concerned.

There are o"re man 100 acres planted to onions in Washington county and dealers say that the quality is the very best.

John Buchanan, a 10-year-old son of 8. D. Buchanan, a former resilient of this city, but now working on the right of way lor the P R. A N. Company, had the second finger of his right band shot away last Sunday evening by a young man of 17, named Charles Larson, of Laurel, working tor the railroad company. The two were in a barn near Buxton, when Larson pointed a double barreled shot gun at young Buchanan, ying, it la alleged by tbe father of the toy, that he inteuded to kill him. The lad supposed Larson was only joking, grasped tbe gun barrel, band over tbe mussle, when the weapon was discharged and his hand horribly mangled, the middle finger being shot entirely away. and was found twenty-four hours later on the barn floor in the hay. Buchanan tied his boy's hand up the best he could and started at once for llillsboro, nut the lad grew whiter and weaker aud was on the verge of collapse w hen they reached Greenville, and it was decided to stop and have Dr. Parker attend to the wound, which was doue. It is said the doctor labored over the patient for two and a halt hours before be could stop the blood and get the wound cleared of powder and properly dressed. The boy was taken home, and is said to be getting along all right. On Tuesday the father came to this city and got out a warrant (or the arrest of Larson on the charge of "willfully and unlawfully pointing a gun." He said that at first be supposed the whole thing was an accident and caused by carelessness, but had since learned that young Larson deliberately and without cause attempted to kill tbe boy, and had admitted as much to him. For this reason he had made up bis mind to have him punished. There had never been any trouble between the boys and young Buchanan said after the accident that he did not have any idea that Lar son meant to shoot. Justice Bagley issued a warrant for Larson's arrest late Tuesday afternoon and an officer was sent to Buxton to bring him in. The case will come up before J ustice Bagley today. The Roosevelt Way.
