The Penalty Paid for the Mur-
deYOf Miles p. MITCHELL
of WhiteUiHe.

In obedience to a decree of the
Supreme Court of this state, Bart
Green, on Wednesday last, was
hung by Z. A. Brooks, Sheriff of
Madison County, for the murder
of Miles p. Mitchell, an account
of which appeared in the columns
of the BULLETIN soon after the oc-
currence. Perhaps but few CON
demned to pay the extreme penal
ty of the law have been moved
less by the awful doom that await
ed them than was Bart Green.
In the criminal court of Madison
County, where he was 1st tried,
with seeming Indifference he lis
tened to the decision of the jurors
equity as charged" Before the
highest tribunal of the state, when
the decision of tie lower court was
affirmed, his demeanor was un-
changed, asserting invariably his
innocence of the crime. Not I'M

adjusted did his stalwart frame
and indOmitable will succumb.
On the second story, and within
the walls of the Madison County
jail, the scaffOld was erected, and
therefore the hanging was witness
ed by only about thirty persons.
About 10. 40 o'clock, Bart, accom-
panied by Sheriff Brooks, ascend
ed the scaffold. After the sheriff
read the death warrant, devotional
exercises were conducted by Rev.
w. T. Webb, pastor of the first
colored Baptist Church of Jackson.
On the close of the service, the
sheriff addressed himself 10 the
condemned man as follows: "FrOn
time immemorial, it has been the
decree that whose sheddeth mans
blood, by man his blood shall be
shed. You are now to be ushereC
into the presence of the Great
Judge, before whom you have al
ready made your plea for pardon
and forgiveness. Have you any
thing to say?" Standing on the
brink of eternity, Bart turned tC
the sheriff and said: "What il
that you said about numbering ;
man?'' The sheriff replied, 81
spoke of shedding innocent blood.
Bart then asserted, 81 shed nc
body's blood; my enemies got me
into this. That is all" The moose
was then adjusted. but before the
cap was placed, Bart tainted anC
fell to the floor of the scaffold
! On being assisted to his feet, hC
said, Il am overcome" and the1

JOSIAH Patterson is no bolter. He
spoke more and oftener, and with
more dampening effect, for the gold
standard than any democaat in the
country, and yet he says he will
support the ticket named at Chicago.
''The democratic party is party of
liberation, not of tyranny" he says
and he adds: "When it comes to a
choice between the republican party
and all it has meant in the past and
may mean in the future, I do not hes
itate to remain now and always with
the democratic party" When Pat
terson can say this what democrat
can hesitate?-Paducah Register.

ELECTRIC SOIL-TESTER.
Clever Invention for Determining the
Amount of Moisture.

Clever Invention for Determining the
Amount of Moisture.
The well-known fact that damp
earth is a better conductor of cleo
tricity than dry earth is the basis of an
apparatus invented by Prof. Milton
Whitney, chief of the division of soils
in the agricultural department, which
he thinks will be valuable aid in pro-
duciDg the best results from the cult
Walton of soil. The plates, construct
ed of the material which forms the car
bon points in arc lights, are sunk in the
ground at any desired depth. A cur
rent of electricity is then passed from
one to the other, and an instrument
measures in ohms the resistance which
the soil between the plates makes to
the passage of the current, A table
prepared from the results of many ex-
periments shows at a glance the per-
centage of moisture in the soil.
The apparatus will be especially val
liable in dollhouse culture, in Prof.
Whitney's opinion, for in that the con-
ditions are best for regulating the
proportion of moisture, but the amount
of moisture in the fields can be regu-
lated to a greater degree by cultiva-
ton. This is particularly so in sec
tons of the country where irrigation
is practioed. BY the use of this appar
atus, which is simple and compar-
atively inexpensive, the farmer can ac-
curately determine what crop is best
adapted to the soil of each field, and
thus make his labor and investment
count for the most in results. From a
series of experiments conducted last
summer Prof. Whitney has practically
demonstrated that when pasture land
shows less than one-third per cent. of
moisture il has reached the danger
line, and a severe drought is immi-
nent.
