THE WHIT OWENS CASE.
Probability of the Case Being Nov
ed to Marshall County.


The Picayune of today contains
the following from its Jackson CORES
pendent:
When the ca Sc is called against Whit
Owens, at Oxford, on Monday, lug. IS,
it is supposed change of venue will be
asked by counsel for the defendant, on
the grounds of local prejudice, and that
the court may grant the change. 1t is
not likely that the case will be tried the
following week at the regular term of
the circuit court in Marshall county. the
court sitting at Holly priugs.
1t will be recalled that Mathis and
Lester are to be hanged at Oxford OH
September 10, for the murder of John
and Hugh Montgomery, deputy United
States marshals. they having been re
spited some weeks ago by the governor
in order that they may testify against
Whit Owens charged and convicted in
the lower court of these same murders
the supreme court having reversed the
case because of the refusal of the lower
court to grant certain instructions asked
for by the defendant. Mathis is SON
in.law of Owens, and there has been
some speculation as to whether he and
Lester, since they are under death sem
tence, will testify or not, but it is learn
ed that both will testify, and those in a
position to know state that it is known
what their testimony will be.

of bringing it to close within the

counties and centers of capital have
been visited and large finds of delin-

are not anticipated. The original
claims continue to be greatly re-

been finished it will be found that
goodly sum has been added TO the

FOR FARMERS TO READ.

Rev. 3. w. Spilman wrote to the
Progressive Farmer recently giving the
following interesting account of what a
wounded Confederate soldier did with
a bent buggy spring on one-eighth OF
angacre Of land:
s'There il on exhibition at the Char
lesion Exposition large picture in
water -coiors of the peas grown last year
by Mr.. Lewis Grady, OF Kinston, N. G.
The picture is the property OF the De-
partment of Agriculture of North Car
DINA and was made from photograph
taken while the peas we're in the gar
den.
"Mr. Grady is an old Confederate
soldier and fol many years has owned
i fruit and confectionery stand a half
block from the court house on Queen
street, the principal business street IN
Kins.on. Last year he put in his spare
moments raising peas and beans In his
garden of an eighth OF an acre in area.
He laid off the rows four feet apart, US
ed one sack OF Hyco fertilizer on o-dln'
| airy gray loan, and on January 22nd
planted the Melting Sugar, Marrow
Fat and Champion of England Peas
The tool used to cultivate the peas was
an old peice of buggy spring bent in
to shape and boiled to hoe helve.
The peas grew to a height OF eight
or ten feet, and some OF the Marrow
Fat variety to height Of fifteen feet
] People from far and near came TO see
Mr.. Gradyis PEA crop I saw it and II
is we'll worth long trip to see. After
| supplying his family OF five and giving
away q1ite quantity, he sold $50
worth of peas.
"On the same piece of land on june
Fad he planted some Ford's Mammoth
Prodded Lima Beans and some Shot
wells Improved Thick Pole Lime
Beans. The former have pOd3 sever
to eight inches long with SIX beans t
the pod the latter are shorter, more
compact and have six beans to the pod
This bean crop Mr.. Grady readily sole
for $335.
Chow is that for an old wounded
Confederate soldier with a few spare
moments each day, bent buggy spring
one sack OF fertilizer and an eighth OF
acre Of ground?
"Mr Grady this year has about one
acre OF land staked with 1850 posts
with Stats nailed On them and his pea:
are pushing upward with amazing
rapidity."

SENATOR SIMMONS.

THE COMMONWEALTH gave as strong
support as tic ,uld TO Hon Z. NJ. SIM
mons for the United States Senate, and
said during that memorable campaign
that If chosen for the high office he
would take a stand In the Senate OF
which the reople of North Carolina
would be proud. Already our predlc-
ton has come true. Senator Simmon.
made his first speech in the Senate
last Monday in opposition to the oleo-
margarine bill. He spoke for nearly
two hours without MANUSCRIPT or note
and held the close attention of the
Senate. He had not announced to
any one his intention to speak, but
soon after he began speaking the
North Carolina members in the House
were in the Senate to hear him. He
made decided hit and was wrmly
congratulated by democrats and Re-
publicans.
The Washington correspondent to
the Raleigh Post gave fatterlng no
tice of Senator Simmons speech. He
wrote in part:
Senator Simmons delivered his inl-
tial speech in the Senate today and for
nearly two hours held the undivided
attention of his colleagues. He dis
cussed the oleomargarlne bill, daliver-
ing an able and forceful argument in
opposition to the measure. The
North Carolina delegation Is proud OF
the effort OF the junior Senator, Tor 1t
established for him a reputation that
places him in the first rank among the
able debaters IN the Senate.
When he had concluded Senator
Simmons was surrounded by his col
leagues who heartily congratulated
him. Among these were Senators
Bate of Tennessee, Patterson of Colora-
do, Money OF Mississippi ID Clay OF
Georgia. Republicans we're no less
hearty in their compliments and Sena-
tor Foraker of Ohio and Senator Proc
tor of Vermont were among the first tt
extend congratulations.
The comp!inet paid Senator Sim
mons by Senator Money of Mississippi
should be source Of pride to every
North Carolinlan. I was with Senator
Money when he congratulated Senator
Simmons. t'Your speech today" the
Mississlppian declared A'is the ablest
that has been delivered in this debate
and is one of the best that has been
made at this session of Congress-. You
have Established status in this Sen
ate, and I want to tell you that it
ranks with the best. 1t was certainly
magnificent speech, and 1 hearth,
congratulate you"
Senator Money was enthusiastic, aad
later he referred to the tact that the
Democrats in the Senate bad developed
more able speakers at this session oil
Congress than for years past. He pu:
Senator Simmons in the class witt
Bailey, Carmack and Patterson, and
declared that the addition Of these
four Senators was a tower of strength t.
Democratic minority in the Senate.
