jackson, June 16.-After bitter but
unsuccessful legal fight covering
period of nearly three years. William
Enslen, white prisoner from Lauder
dale county, has been brought to the
Ienitentiaryto serve Life sentence for
murder.
Enslea was convicted OF the assas-
sinatlon of locomotive engineer named
Harry Stanton. The fatal shot was
fired by Enslen as Stanton passed by
window where Enslen was sitting.
Three times the case was carried TO tie
Supreme court. AMI two reversals were
secured from that tribunal, but on the
last appeal the verdict was affirmed and
persistent efforts to secure another trial
resulted in failure. Thousands OF
dollars have been spent in attorneys
fees and court costs during the period of
litigation, and the Brotherhood OF En-
gineers raised large fund for the
prosecution of En- 'len.
The prisoner has been taken to the
Rankin convict farm where he will be
employed at light labor. Heis in feeble
health, caused chiefly by the long con-
finement in jlil and it is understood
that movement will be immed ately
placed on foot in Lauderdale county tc

Paper from Corn Husks.

The production of paper from
wood pulp during the past decade
has cheapened its price wonder
fully as compared with the old
way of making paper from cotton
and linen stock. Indeed at one
time the wrappings of the mum
mifed Egyptian bodies, composed
of linen, was a considerable arti-
Gle of export from Egyptian ports
for the purpose of paper making
in this country.
Now comes an inventor backed
by strong financial interest in
Chicago, who will produce this
pulp from corn husks. AS nearly
all paper stock is produced from
vegetable fibre the patentee of this
process has a great future before
him. The husks will bring about
80 per ton.

THE CROP OUTLOOK
Is Not Good. Wheat Production
Only 0ne-half Average.
COMMISSIONER NAILS MONTHLY
REPORT.

The monthly crop report OF
State Agricultural Commissioner
Nall is not very encouraging. 1t
is, in part, as follows:
The month Of May opened with
all the growing crops from one to
three weeks late, and condition
just responding to the rains which
fell in the latter part of April and
the first days OF May. Warm, sea-
sonable weather followed for few
days, and farmers generally fin
ishod corn planting, and it came
up well. Cooler weather set in,
especially at night, and cut worms
did a great deal of damage to corn,
hemp, gardens and early planted
tobacco. Correspondents indicate
a probable setting OF 80 per cent.
Of the usual tobacco acreage. The
condition given as 80 per cent.
The wheat crop, under the most
favorable conditions, will be but
slightly above ons-half the aver
age for the state.
The acreage for corn has been
increased by reason of some wheat
fields having been put in this crop
and the breadth of planting reach
es l09, while the condition is put
at 81, due mainly to the late plan
ting aud cutworms.
Fruit shows up badly. Apples
are fsHiag OF and win make but
AZ per cent. Of a crop with good
weather. Peaches are nearly
failure. there being but 20 per CT
Of crop. There are some cher
ries, plums and small fruit, with
