THE COUNSEL FOR DEFENSE.

1--WE propose to show, gentlemen of
the jury" said counsel for the defense,
that it is impossible for the defendant
to have committed this crime.
In the first place, we will prove
that the defendant was nowhere near
the scene of the crime at the time the
crime was committed.
Next, we will offer the indisputable
testimony Of persons who saw the de
PENDANT on the spot, and who did not
see the defendant commit the crime.
1--WE will show that no poison was
found on the deceased.
mot only that, but we will prove
that it was put there by the prosecu
ton in this case.
I'VE will Furthermore show that the
deceased committed suicide.
"And last, but not least, we will
prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt,
that the deceased is not dead.
''In view of all these c~orroborative
facts, gentlemen of the jury, we re,
spectively ask for an acquittal. New

PRICE FOR COTTON WEIGHING

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
Will you please call the attention of
the farmers who sell cotton in Raleigh
to the fact that the 10 cents charge for
weighing cotton was repealed by the
last legislature, and they are only al,
lowed z per bale for weighing now. Not
many know this. The buyer gives the
seller a ticket, and on this Is printed,
subject to 10 cents for weighing. Not
many notice this, and after you sell and
take the ticket the buyer says you must
pay it because you accepted the bid
with the 10 cents notice on it. Now
tn" law says the weigher shall receive
2 cents for every bale weighed. This
act applies to Wake county only.
