By feeding now, the bees will breed

One Of the best ways Of uniting col

1t II Now Being Tried In Nearly All
| Sections Of the Country. ss3
One Of the most promising signs of
the times from the standpoint of ag-
riculture is the awakening interest of
+ the farmers of the country in improved
methods of production, in diversified
farming and in seeking out new fields
for endeavor. In no other direction,
perhaps, is there such marked evidence
of the last-named tendency as in the
growing sentiment favorable to the
cultivation of the sugar beet, which
seems to be in every mind, and which
is likely to be tried this season in near
II every section of the country whereit
is believed the saccharine vegetable
may succeed. s.; #
In no other direction is there such
opportunity, at least so far as crop
cultivation is concerned, for the de
mand awaits every pound Of sugar
which can be produced, while there is
no danger that there will be too much
of it for the next half-century. The
figures are interesting. It is estimated
that by all the beet-sugar factories of
this country there were produced last
year but 10000 tons. The annual con-
sumption of sugar in this country is q
1000 tons, and this amount will of
course increase with growth in popula-
ton. It is estimated that the average
sacre of sugar beets will yield one ton
of pure sugar, or, in other words, that
st will require more than 100000
acres Of the vegetable to supply the

Furthermore, they should Be clean.
Dirty eggs and al varieties Of shapes

is the same with dressed poultry. Ponl-
try should have q plump and tempting

and absolutely clean. The head and

One reason why scalded poultry never

the pale, shrunken look of the head,

business principle is to serve thesmar-

ST0NEKlNG'S TRIAL.
Little New Evidence Brought Out at Tusca-
 loosa Yesterday
Special to The Age-Herald.

oPNNAtAA
 Tuscaloosa, Dec. 16.-Trial began today in the Tuscaloosa county law and equity court in the case of State vs. A. Stoneking, for killing J. G. Lallande. The case went over from last week before the pleadngs were finished. Judge Mayfield over-ruled all the defendants motions to quash the venire jury The defendants counsel re- served exceptions. The morning session was occupied in drawing a jury.
 A number of witnesses were examined at the afternoon session Very little or no new evidence has been brought out since the preliminary hearing Allen Jemison, Adolph Cade and J. T. Bradford testified as to Something's purchase of the pistol from the Allen & Jemson company. One witness, Miller testified to seeing Stonekipg in the saloon the afternoon of the killing and heard him say that he had been in- suited, and that if the insult was repeated he would give him that, skipping something in his pocket. He thought Stonelxing was drunk.
 L. G. Daniel, one of the proprietors of the White Elephant saloon and Scott Harper, the bartender, both gave substantially the  same evidence as on the preliminary MT. Daniel saw Stoneking and Lallande to- gether several times He heard Lallande abuse Stoneking. Harper told how the quarrel originated. Stoneking and Lallande matched for cigars. Stoneking lost and re- fused to pay for ten cent cigars Lal- lande then refused to drink with him, call ing him short. The two came together later, Lallande repeating his remark, curs- ing Stoneking. Stoneking said: Suppose should talk to you that way" Lallande replied: If you did I would break your jaw" Just before the killing Lallande with others went to the front Stoneking went out later. Harper heard the words: Square yourself,' something to that effect Lallande went towards Stoneking with both hands upraised. He was within an arms length when the pistol was fired. Lallande lived one or two hours.
 The court adjourned after this testimony was concluded. Large crowd attended the trial Something's wife and children and sister were present and elicited consider 2 able sympathy.

ROBBERY IN HENRY COUNTY.
Thieves Secured S900 From Westy Bedford,
 Wealthy Tanner.
Special to The Age-IIerald.

Abbeville, Dec. 16.-One of the boldest and most sensational robberies that ever occurred in this section took place eight miles below here last night. At about 1 o'clock a man called at the house of West ley Bodiford and claimed that his mule had run away and severely injured his companion. and asked for some one to as- sist him. Oscar Etherdge, a young man living with Mr Bedford, responded to the call and followed the man. When about three hundred yards below the house the first one dropped behind and another man sprang out of the bushes and told him to hold Etheridge up.
 One placed a pistol in Etheridge's face and the other tied his hands. They then led him back to the house and, waking old man Bedford, told him that they wanted the money in his safe, and to open the safe and be d-n quick about it. The safe was soon opened and the men secured nine hundred dollars Mir Bodi- ford begged them not to take everything, but they were obdurate.
 Both robbers were masked. The sheriff and MT. Bedford followed the mules tracks through Abbeville this evening. Two parties are suspected and before tomor row the guilty persons may be arrested.
 A great deal of indignation is manifested by the citizens of the community. Mir. Bod ford is one of Henry county's wealthiest citizens
