ing in her first attempt to kill the per-
son desired. Lavinia Jones, n colored
girl IL years of age. last night made
another effort to poison the family OF
Mr.. f. L. Holland, at Elwood. She now
lies in the county jail to await the
grand jury's action. She had hear
ing to-day before Justice r. C. Daugh-
trey and being sent on was committed
to jail by Constable w. T.. Whitfield.
AS reported in to-day's Virginian. the
girl first tried to poison the family by
administering rough on rats, which con-
stains a large amount of arsenic. to her
intended victims by placing a quantity
in the coffee pot. AS result, one per-
son died and four others were made
intensely sick. Not killing the indivi-
dual evidently wanted. Lavina last
night put liberal portion of the pols-
on In milk, which was to be used In
the preparation of bread. child who
drank some of the milk was made i'm
mediately sick and vomited. a dog
which ate the vomit was taken i'll, and
then 1t was ascertained that another
dastardly plot to sacrifice the lives of
the family had been formulated.
Investigations were set on foot and
soon evidence was unearthed which
threw suspicion on Lavinia Jones, a
domestic who had been employed about
the house. At the preliminary hearing
she testified that the poison was accl-
IDENTIFY spilled in the milk. She denies
any criminal intent. but circumstances
are strongly against her. 1t Is not
known whether she was acting on her
own responsibility or whether her con-

THE TAX THAT COUNTS.

100000, 900 tons of freight. Every year
the amount increases. Every pound of
this freight is carried and carried over
our roads and streets before it gets to
the railroads.; millions of tons are
hauled in. wagons and sold in the coun-
try towns and consumed by the local
buyer. Here is the farmers end Of it;
hay, $4,000, 900 tons-think of hauling
100000 loads of hay to market on
roads like that; 9O,OOO,O0O tons of
cereals; 100000 tons OF potatoes; g.
100000 tons of cotton; total, 152, 600, 900
| tons, not counting the mud on the
wagon wheels.
1.-THE road and the wagon are the twin
handmaidens of agriculture that at
tend the. farmer on every journey to
market and they are forever at odds
with each other. If the man who sold
that wagon to the farmer had tried to
sell that road to him, homicide would
have become virtue; 1872 .O0O, 900 tons of
produce; $500,000,OO0 paid for farm i'm
plements and machinery to harvest it
with; $1,2oo,000,000 invested in farm
horses and mules to drag it to market
Think of it! Think of being director
in a corporation with that amount of
business on hand, with countless mil
lions Of paid-up capital invested, and
think of doing business in a mortar
bed! Think of waiting for the mud to
dry up! Sixteen million horses and
mules idle in the stables; 100000 a
day for horse feed; $2s,0C0,000 week.
Think of the loss of time and labor, the
dwarfed and shrunken values of our
farms, of the slack supply and good
prices, when the roads are impossible.
Think of the procession of farmers that
rush to town and glut the market in
the first days of dry weather, and think
of the paltry prices they get when every
body is trying to sell to an overstocked
