ers, on trial for alleged connection with

under indictment as an accessory to
Goebels murder. Culton testified that
Caleb Powers said the democrats would
be given thirty minutes to settle the
contest and if they did not do it, they
would kill every damned one of them"
Powers said it was a serious undertake
ing and all who did not want to go in
with him to bring the men to Frankfort,
should withdraw then, for if they were
unsuccessful, they would be guilty of
conspiracy n all would be convicted.
Culton testified that TaylFH said: IF
the democrats continue to rob US,
Judges Hazelria and Habsom, of the
court of appealsN should be killed; that
will settle the contest" Power said
that was right and Charles Finley con-
Cured in the statement. Culton denied
that he was short in his accounts in the

Distribution of Government Seeds

Washington, October 1S.-The depart
ment of agriculture has completed plans
for the annual seed distribution
throughout the country. A change
has been made in the method of distrib-
uting cotton and forage crops, which
now, instead of being sent broadcast,
will be sent only to certain sections
where they are adaptable and likely
to bring about improved conditions.
Havana and Sumatra tobacco will be
sent only to Florida and certain parts
of New England, where their culture
has proven successful and where mus
lin sheets spread over large tracts of
tobacco area furnish the necessary
tropical conditions. Other types of to-
bacco plants will be sent TO other sec
