UNIQUE MURDER TRIAL IN
 OJJJGIANA


 A gentleman who has just returned from Madison Parish, La tells of an amusing and interesting murder trial now being heard before the Circuit court at Talullu.
 It seems that a negro minister of the Baptist faith was murdered some time ago by one of his race at a church fair or festival The preacher was well liked by the brethren and sisters of the church in the neighborhod and they have raised a fund of nearly $700 with which to prosecute the murderer, and engaged the legal services of Lieu tenant Governor Bob Snyder for that purpose.
 Not to be outdone, the white folks of the community immediately raised a fund equally as large, with which to defend the negro.
 The fight is now in progress. The array of legal talent is going at it ham, mer and tongs and the whole, par ish is interested in the outcome. There are only seven witnesses to be examined, but fully a thousand negroes are present to listen to the eNluellCe,
 One of the most curious things about the whole affair is the jury. It took the sheriff nearly two weeks to find twelve men, tried and true" who had not formed an opinion on the case. Finally he scraped together nine ne- groes and three sorry looking white men who rather reluctantly agreed to render a verdict according to the law and evidence" Scarcely had the trial got well under way when it was an nounced that the white men were firm for acquitial and the negroes had sworn to convict or bust the statutes" in the attempt.
 The trial Is slowly progressing Just what will be the outcome is hard to onjecture.--Jackson Clarion-Ledger.

 Very appropriately last week, be- fore the Sons of the American Rev olution, Governor Cooke did some timely talking about the situation as it may exist in case war Is declared be- tween the United States and Spain. The feature of his remarks was that something by our governments should be done t9 strengthen our coast defences which meets the approval of the whole people. What he said brings to mind our powerless situation, espec- ially in Long Island sound, and also makes plain the fact that 121 years ago at Cedar Point, English minions land ed because there was nothing to pre- vent, and that to-day the point and all it's vicinity Is as powerless as in TIT.

ION TO HAVANA"
Was the Cry of Connecticut Men 136
 Years Ago.


 Was the Cry of Connecticut Men 136
 Years Ago.
 All those officers and soldiers who belonged to General Lymans regiment of provincials and were at the taking of Havannah and have not received their last dividend of prize money for said place, are hereby notified to meet at the house of Major John Durgie, inn holder, in Norwich on Thursday, the 2Sd inst, in order to make an inquiry why said dividend has not been paid and consult on other matters that will be then proposed.
 Norwich, December IS, 1773.
 This notice appear in a fac-simile copy of the Norwich Packet of Decem- Der 16, 1773, which is owned by MT. John l.. Dennison of this city.
 It is reminder of the fact, which may not be generally known that the Con- necticut men of Colonial days knew some thing of fighting in Cuba, and that of the great number who went there in the spring of 1763, in Colonel Lyman's regiment, but few returned alive. Fever and the other dangers of tropical country in midsummer were fatal to the hardy sons of the north. After the close of the campaign of 1761, in the French and Indian war, in which troops of the colony of Connec- ticut had taken very gallant part, an expedition was fitted out to go to the West Indies to cooperate with a British fleet in capturing Martinique and other French possessions. In February, 1762, Martinique capitulated and other islands were surrendered | later.
 | Then the English turned their atten- | tion to the Spanish possessions. A great fleet was organized, composed of thirty-seven ships of war and 150 1 transports. The English regulars under Albemarle were joined by troops | from the American colonies, including i 800 from New Jersey, 800 from New York and 1000 from Connecticut, all under command of Major General Lyman. The immediate command of | the Connecticut troops devolved upon Lieutenanr-Ct, 10, el Israel Putnam, afterward general in the Revolutionary war.
 l Havana was the first and principal place of attack. The fleet sailed from l New York and arriving off the Cuban l coast, encountered terrible storm l The vessels conveying Connecticut | troopc were wrecked, but the mer l reached ltnd safely by rafts and other !. wise. They reached Havana by othel | vessels and joined in the storming O l Morro Castle on July 30, 1762. The eli mate of midsummer was more fata than the bullets of the Spanish, and O the thousand Connecticut troops only { I few officers and a lot of feeble men wasted to skeletons by fever returned to Connecticut-not over 200 In all. l The booty taken at the capture oi Havana was valued at over $10,0000 00( and was distributed as prize money among the land and naval forces. But the regular English troops secured the lions share, and the provincial troops complained that they were not fairly treated in the division.
 This Is probably the explanation o1 l the advertisement in the Packet, above printed, and indicates that the sur vivors of Connecticut, eleven years later, were arranging for another de. mand upon the British government fol their fair share of the spoils.-Hartfort Times.

 My Dear Mir Pratt have read your letter of the 12th inst with great inter- est and sympathy. It is however, a striking illustration of the swiftness with which modern questions change size and color, that since your letter was penned the Cuban dispute has been forced into lurid prominence by the awful event in Havana harbor. That event, of course, whether it be an accident or a piece of criminal treach- cry, does not alter the real merits of the case, but it does undoubtedly ren- der a settlement absolutely urgent. My own view is-and 1 think my view is generally held by rational Englishmer that the trouble in Cuba has gone or

THE FIRST PATENT.
Claim Is Made That a Bristol Man
 Took It Out in 1SOS

Claim Is Made That a Bristol Man
 Took It Out in 1S0S
 A number of papers have recently made the following claim: 'The first patent ever granted in the United States is believed to have been received by Miss Mary Kies of South Killingly in 1909 for weaving straw with thread. Connecticut has been foremost in in- ventions ever since"
 It is stated that this is not strictly correct, since Ira Ives of Bristol took out a patent for wooden faucets for drawing liquor from casks on April IA. 1908, which was year earlier. This was issued during President Jefferson S administration and the letters patent bear the signature of that renowned American. James Madison was secre- tary of state and c. A. Dodney attor- ney general.
 These letters patent in their original sheepskin are now the property of $. R. Goodrich of Bristol, a grandson of the inventor. The wooden faucets were made in Bristol. The patent was upon the leather lining. The same kind of faucet is made to-day.

after five o'clock Friday evening the
lighthouse tender Mangrove steamed
away from the dock under full speed
and was quickly lost to view in the
gathering darkness. The sudden de-
parture of the boat created intense ex-
element, but it was not until Friday
night that a reason was assigned for
the quick moving OF the Mangrove.

These orders instruct the command
er of the Mangrove to proceed at once
to Havana, take on all the American
officials Shere, with the exception Of
Consul General Lee, and bring them
away Immediately.
The special orders from Washington
were generally known among the naval
men and were pretty freely discussed.
In naval circles il is said that the pub
licity given the finding of the court Of
inquiry is responsible for the orders to
the Mangrove, and it is feared at Key
West that the knowledge of the courts

Wheat For Young PIgs.

Wheat is now higher than it has
been for several years, and too dear to
feed to grown animals of any kind.
Yet we think a small amount fed daily
to young and growing pigs will pay
even at present prices. 1t will prob
ably pay to feed wheat to all pigs, in
part to replace the corn ration that is
always injurious. Wheat contains
more nearly the elements OF growth
than any other grain except peas OF
beans, and only sheep can be induced
TO eat whole beans. Wheat bran and

ton, Ga, last July, has written
highly sensational letter to Governor
Atkinson IN which he gives the names
of the men who, he alleges, are guilty
of the lynching of his brother,
The governor forwarded the letter

the lynching:

simultaneously both France and the
United States are gravely considering
the adyisability of creating cabinet
portfolios in the special interest OF
commerce. But the reasons impelling
the two Governments TO recognize the
demands OF commerce are wholly diff
ferent, notes the Atlanta Constitution.
In France there has been much un-
easiness for some time in the public
mind over tho gradual falling off in
foreign exports. Germany, Great
Britain aud the United States have
almost completely destroyed the once
magnificent foreign trade OF France,
and tho idea of creating commercial
bureau mt this time with Cabinet
representation is to encourage com.
mercial activity on the part OF the
French people and to coax back some
of the trade which the republic has
lost. On the other hand, the causes
operating in favor of the creation of
bureau of commerce in the United
States spring from the growing magni'
tude and Importance of our foreign
trade relations. Under the federal
system there are already various Gov
Ornamental departments devoted to the
Interests OF commerce, but in order to
meet the increasing demands of trade
IL is claimed that these departments
should be united into one comprehen'
sive bureau, with representation in
the Cabinet. To effectuate this idea
there are now Eve separate measures
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mittee of the National House Of
Representatives but the latest in.
formation received from Washington
authorizes the belief that the Inter.
state Commerce Committee will re-
commend the creation Of q bureau
with q Commissioner at its head
instead of q Cabinet officer. That
France and the United States should
both be considering at the same time
the sdvisability Of creating CONNER
cial bureaus, even though for differ
emit reasons, is quite singular coinci.
dence.
