CADDELL V. THE STATE.

Indictment for Murder.-Appeal from the Circuit Court of Bibb. 1. Organization of jury; motion to quash venire.-Where in the organiza- l tion of a jury to try capital case, the fact that the same person answered to the name of "Acey Blake" and "A. F. Blake" when called at different times, constitutes no ground to quash the ve- uire, when it is shown that said named appearing on the venire were each in- tended to, and did. in fact, designate a different person.
 :. Same; same.-The fact that one of the persons who was drawn to serve on the special venire in a capital case was not summoned or was absent at the time of the trial. constitutes no ground for quashing the venire.
 3. Homicide; conspiracy; admissibil- ity of evidence.-.The defendant in a criminal case was jointly indicted with a woman for the murder of his wife, and was tried separately. There was evidence tending t0 show that his CO., defendant was his paramour; that he was at enmity Xith his wife; had sev- eral times threatened her life: that the deceased had commenced a prosecution against his co-defendant for living with him in adultery; that his code fendant had lived at his house. and on the day of the homicide. the de- ceased with some officers, having a warrant to search the woman's trunk, came to the defendants house for that purpose; that when the deceased came to the house. the defendant threatened to kill her. and afterwards told his CO., defendant to make the deceased get out of the house; that in talking to his wife the defendant applied a vile epi- thet. whereupon she exhibited pistol and said that she would kill him if he repeated the statement; that while the search was proceeding, the defendant called his co-defendant into an adjoin- ing room and said something to her in a low tone of voice. which could not be heard by the other persons in the house, whereupon his co-defendant re- turned to where the deceased was, and after saying something to her snatched the pistol away from the deceased and fired upon her. inflicting the fatal wound. Held.
 t1.) It was competent for a witness who testified as to his having a con- versation with the defendant about the conduct of anyother man towards his co-defendant, to state that the defendant said to him ''he would kill anybody that interfered with him and that woman"
 (2.) That acts of undue and improp- CT intimacy between the defendant and his co-defendant were 1dmis sible as tending to show his infatuat!on for the woman and as disclosing d motive for melting the crime.

VICTORY FOR RAILROADS.
They Have a Right to Reject Cars of
 Mixed Freight.

Chicago. July 1s.-Judge$Ko ohlsaat in the United States Circuit Court refused to issue an injunction restraining the rail roads from enforcing rules against ac- cepting what is known as mixed carload freight. The injunction was asked for by various shipping brokers against the Grand Trunk and the Lackawanna Roads. but the decision will be widespread in it's effect. It Is the custom of shipping brok- CTS to gather small lots. of freight from several clients. and by shipping them to- gether as car lots obtain a lower rate This was objected to by the railroads and the position of the latter has been sus- tained by the courts.

PAUNcEForE's INTERVIEW
His Sentiments Meet With Com
 mendation in Washington.

r Washington, July 1s.-The interview with Lord Pauncefote in London rela' tive to the Nicaragua Canal and othel questions. published this morning, ha: attracted much attention officially, ant generally the sentiments expressed meet with commendation. It Is admitted that the interview very fairly sets out the present status of the relations between the United States and England.
 The reference to the convention of joint high commission next fall is taken to in- dicate a willingness on the part Of the British Government to yield to the Ca nadian demand for resumption of the suspended meetings of this body Our own Government had concluded that bet fer results were promised by direct nego- .tiations between Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote. but if the Canadian Govern ment prefers to take up the threads of the negotiations where they were dropped by the commissioners two years ago, there will be no objection on our part, as the Canadian Government has been fully advised upon what terms negotiations might be profitably continued.

THE WILLOW HEDGE.

A very successful farmer told us re-
Gently that on his prairie farm he can
raise more and better crops by plant
ing o willow hedge around each 40
acres than he can without such wind
breaks, and this taking into considera-
tion the fact that such trees sap the
soil for width Of 80 feet along the
line Of each row. He claims that with
such wind breaks the snow lies on his
fields and protects his clover, that his
crops of small grains are not knocked
down by summer storms, that the force
OF the southwestern simoons which
blight the crops when In bloom is neu-
tralized, that such an, area OF wind
breaks furnishes him all the firewood
needed on his farm and that his farm
is thereby made more pleasant and
productive in every way. This is well
worth thinking about.

RAG WEDDINGS.

Wooden. tin. silver and golden we'd
ding anniversaries are observed by the
American people and are usually very
pleasing occasions. While not on the
list of festal anniversaries, there is one
other which we too often see and but
too little note. and. that is the rag we'd
ding anniversary. There are no cards
out for this. no neighbors and friends
Invited, no angels food and ice cream
on the supper menu, no kindly congrat-
ulations. A pretty sure way to insure
rag wedding occasion is for young
fellow to get married when he has only
S1.35 left after he has paid the parson.
Love in cottage is delightful senti-
ment. and there should be more of it,
but it needs the collateral backing of
good beefsteak, pork and BEANS bread
and butter, fuel, duds to wear and 9TH
er material and essentially practical
things. We will repeat what we have
once before said-i. e., that no young
man should get married in this country
until he has worked, earned and saved
up the sum of $500 unless fhis is the
only reservation) there is Imminent
danger OF some other fellow running
off with his girl before he can meet
these requirements. The logical Sc
quence of matrimony is children. and
kids cost good money TO raise, and the
young man Is fool to assume these
responsibilities on capital Of $1.35.
Boys. don't pave the way for a rag
wedding.

WHAT Ais TT,

A friend writes us that he has a
tract of what was once marsh land
now well tile drained which for some
unaccountable reason will grow no
corn at all and only improbable crops
OF oats, barley or timothy and wants
to know what the trouble is. 1t fire.
quently happens that marsh lands so
drained are for several years after be-
ing so reclaimed unfit for the growth Of
cereal crops. especially corn, this be-
ing caused by the excess of alkali in
the soil, this alkali being the product
of the ashes of the prairie grasses
which for ages after the prairie fire
had done its work were washed into
these marsh land reservoirs or basins.
Usually such lands will produce excel
lent crops of potatoes, the potato being
greedy user of potash. We have seen
fax successful crop on such lands,
and generally timothy will produce fine
crops. If stiff white or blue clay sup
soil lies very near the surface, as is
sometimes the case, we would give a
good coat of barnyard manure and got
into clover, if it will grow, and If not
then timothy and redtop, and would
pasture for a few years. We have new
er noted the trouble referred to as &C.
curing on peat marshes, it appearing
only on muskegs or common prairie
swamps.

GROUND FEED ron STEERS.

One of the most successful cattle
feeders of the west tells us that he can
make 800 bushels of corn ground with
the. cob make more beef on the steers
and as much gain on the hogs which
follow them as with 1000 bushels of
shelled corn fed unground. He further
makes the claim in favor of so grinding
the feed that the cattle may be put up
on full feed at once. that their diges-
ton remains in perfect condition and
that they may be finished for market
In less time. This is a pretty broad
claim and will bear investigating by all
cattle feeders.

HOT WINDS.

In the longitude of the agricultural
dead line" which trails its sinuous
course from the British possessions
south to Mexico. marking limits be-
yond which it is not safe to pillow and
plant, and extending for distance Of
zoo miles east. or on the cropping side
OF such line, will be found climatic
condition marked by what are locally
known as "hot Winds" This is strong
wind from the southwest, superheat,
ed to a temperature running from 100
to lis degrees #. in the shade, robbed
of every particle of moisture. usually
OF not less than two days continuance
and fatal to almost all forms of farm
crops when in the bloom or grain form
ing stages This hot wind is one Of
the climatic freaks which annually de-
stroy millions of dollars worth of
farm crops in the territory named and
one which is hard to fight against. No
one thing will so curtail and modify
the destructive power of these winds
as the p!snting Of groves of timber
on every farm.

THE GAMING BUSINESS.

Whenever any line of manufacturing
specially connected with agriculture is
found to be profitable a set Of pro-
motors and sharks will seize upon it
and make bad work for the men whom
they get to invest in such enterprises.
The west and for anght we know the
east as well is full Of creamery wrecks,
the work of these smooth tongued pro-
motors, plants which cost from $4,000
to $4,000 each being built where there
never had been 500 milk cows In the
territory covered and never would be.
The same thing has been and is now
being done with the canning industry,
espe eially such canneries as are devot-
ed to the canning Of corn. We have 1t
on the very best of authority that this
line Of business is already overdone
and that this year the profits have
been extremely meager for the owners
of such plants. One of the largest and
most successful sweet corn canneries
In tue west on taking an invoice of its
business for 1900 finds that on a. in
yestmeut of $4,000 and an output of
over 100000 cans of corn the profit
has been only So, 400, per cent of prof
1t which is certainly not at all inviting
to capitalists.

sUNFLowERs.

A new and coming crop suited to
any corn land is the suntlower. 1t has
recently been demonstrated that the
very finest of salad oil can be extracted
from the seeds. equal in quality to the
best olive oil. This discovery will give
q value to this plant before unknown.
The Russian farmers grow immense
quantities of the sunfower, using the
oil on their many fast days, which pro-
hibit the use of animal fats. The
value Of the sunfower seed has long
been known for use in the poultry
yard. Large crops can be grown with
little trouble, as it is as easily cared
Tor as corn. 1t is claimed that the
woody stalks have no little value as a
fuel also. AS farm land becomes more
valuable attention will be drawn more
and more to new and desirable crops.
