Crops In North Mississippi.
Tho farmers OF North Mississippi are
confronted with the worst crop condi-
tions ever known. The cotton planting
season is over and one-third OF the cot
ton planted has failed to como up. Cut
worms are working ruin upon thousands
Of acres that at one time had good stands
upon them. Farmer, are engaged every
where in having largo bodies Of land
that had been planted in cotton this sea-
son plowcd up and prepared for corn.
Unusually cold weather has prevailed
all through tho cotton planting season,
and such unreasonable conditions have
been absolutely ruinous to the young
cotton plants. The cotton plant requires
and must have warm weather for its
proper growth and development. Cold
nights such as have prevailed for the
past thirty days have not only prevented
tho seed from terminating, but have
killed the plants after they had attained
considerable size. Corn can be planted
with good results as late as Juno /, and
there will grcat increase in corn aero,
age between this and that time. There
was decided decrease in cotton acreage
at the first planting when compared
with last year. and now that decrease
will amount 25 per cent.

declared that Walling was not guilty
of murder.
jackson was given five minutes to
make statement and to tell how and
by whom the crime was committed, and
to specify to what extent Walling was

Jackson stated that he could not swear
that Walling was innocent. This set

City Convention in st. Louis the Scene of
Wild Disorder-Two Tickets.
ST. LOUIS, March 2.-Saturday's
democratic city convention was the
noisiest in the history of the local
party organization. There were two
sets of temporary officers trying to con-
duct the business at once for a set of
shouting delegates and an uproarious
lobby that would let neither side act.
Arrests were made by the police,
and finally there was an open split.
In the afternoon the Meriwether-
Noonan-Brown faction nominated
Lee Meriwether, eX-labor commits
sioner, for mayor on the second
ballot. The Harrison men refused to
accede and the convention split. In
the evening the Edwin Harrison men
succeeded in getting the recognition
of the regular organization and nomi-
mated their candidate. The Meri-
wether adherents withdrew to another
hall.
The republican convention nominal
ed ex-City Collector Henry Ziegenhein

BILE that he will be elected. Chauncey
l. Filley was temporary chairman and

COLUMBUS, Kan, March 22.-William

shot and killed by his stepson early
yesterday morning in this city. Martin

proceeded to clean out the house in his

grabbed 22-caliber target rifle, and
as he and Mrs. Martin were in immi-

shot him, the ball entering just above
the left eye. The boy gave himself up
to the authorities, but it is believed
that the act was committed in self-de-
