Mr.. Gregg claims that one machine

24O tons of cane a day, with portable
tracks 300 feet apart, which is twice
Is far apart as they are now laid.
The first machine manufactured by
Mr.. Gregg has been changed and i'm
proved in a number of details. and some
experimental runs made with an en-
tirely unframed crew. The following
are some of the results: On March 4,
with ordinary stake cars. Is men. 2
teams and gallons of gasoline loaded
SO tons of cane in ~ hours. Reckon
ing wages at TX cents an hour. a team
as costing the same as a man and gaso-
line at 30 cents a gallon. the cost of
loading was 20.4 cents ton.
On March 10th % men. teams and
24 gallons of gasoline loaded 40 tons of
cane in 21a hours. or at the rate of IA
cents a ton of cane.
The usual method of loading is by
packing the cane by hand from the field,
up an inclined plank to the top OF the
car, where IL is dumped into the car.
Another method is to load the cane on
to sleds on which sings are spread.
The sled is then hauled to a derrick be-
side the track, when the derrick lifts
the sling and swings the bundle over
the car. where a trip drops it into the
car.
These methods cost from II to 40 cents
per ton of cane.
The claims of the inventor for the
Gregg machine are:
1. That 1t diminishes the number of
men required to load cane by from 80
to so per cent.
?. That 1T costs less money than the
present methods.
3. That it saves the use of one-half
of the portable track now in use

JET MUST Die.
Convicted of the Murder OF
James COckriII.
Less Than an Hour Required to
Reach a Verdict-Jett Takes
matters Without Emotion.

Cgntbiana, Ky, Sept. 22.-After
trial lasting eight days the jury
in the trial of Curtis Jett, charged
WITH the murder of Town Marshal
J anIes Cockrill, at Jackson, KY
July 81, 1902, at $40 o'clock this
afternoon rendered a verdict of
guilty and fixed the punishment at
death.
The jury retired at 4:45 p. m.
When they entered the courtroom
after agreeing on a verdict quiet
reigned for a few moments. Jett's
mother had gone away earlier un-
der the impression that no verdict
would be reached and the verdict
of death, coming about two hours
after the jury was out, was a sur
prise to everyone in the courtroom.
The reading of the verdict did not
affect Jett, but his brother was
very much distressed. His mouth
quivered and he slowly turned pale.
Just previous to the jury reach
ing an agreement, Judge Osborne,
thinking that they would not reach
verdict, sent tor them, intend.
ing to call off the session for the
rest of the day, but the jury sent
back word that an agreement had
been reached and that It
would be ready to report a finding
to the court within FIVE minutes.
Elijah Mckinney served as fore
man of the jury and after deliver
ing the verdict to the court the jury
was polled. The death sentence
was then read to Jett by Clerk T.
! ] Robinson, after which he was
given over to the custody of the
Deputy Sheriffs.

that he will move for new trial on
Thursday on the grounds Of absent

then be passed on lett and his at
torney will be allowed until the
November term TO file his bill OF

Blauton says Jett has authorized
him to say that he has nothing to
confess, and he will make no con-
fession. The jurors agreed among
themselves not TO divulge the pro-
ceedings IN the jury room. One
Juror, however, stated that for four
ballots eleven Jurors voted for the
death penalty and one for lite SEN
tence. All agreed on the fifth
ballot.

RELIEF in SIGHT.
Council Will Pass Telephone
Ordinance Tonight.
Cumberland Company Frightened
at Prospects of Having to
Stop Raising Rates.

TIE City Council will meet in
called session tonight for the pur-
pose of giving the people of Hop
kinsville cheaper and better
service. AS a majority of the coun-
cilmen have voluntarily pledged
themselves in advance to sell and
ratlfy franchise, there seems to
be no obstacle in the way of the
much needed relief.
The Cumberland Company,
through its counsel aud employees,
has been waglng vigorous cam
paign against public sentiment.
Circulars arguing that'a telephone
monopoly is a blessing have been
distributed and the stock argu-
ments against "two telephones y
have been revamped in print, as
part of the plan to protect the
monopoly from competition.
In the meanwhile new people are
found every day from whom an in
crease rental Of So. 90 year is be-
ing extorted, although several
councilmen say this excessive
charge is violation of the contract
under which the Cumberland is per-
mitted to do business in this city.
Among these are w. F. Garnett g.
Co. and Geo. w. Young. DR.. b. r.
Eager's Office adjoins w. f. Gar
nett 81 Co. and they we're on the
same line and each paid 81, Since
the antiquated hello boxes were re.
placed with long distance tele.
phones, one has been raised and the
other pays the same price. Jus'
how this plan of eXtortioE'is figured
out, has not yet been explained by
the Cumberland official mouth
piece.
The Home Telephone people arr
ready and willing to buy a 20-yea
franchise fixing the maximum rate
from so cents to ST under the rate
now charged for unsatlsfactor
service.
The cry of two telephones viii
not brighten the people. With. tw
telephones the people will by agree
ment and organization (since tn,
annual contracts have been knock
ed out) concentrate their patronage
on one phone. All of the doctor:
can agree TO take the same phone
and only one. All of the grocer:
can do the same, all of the drug
gists and so on.
But there will be but one phone,
unless two franchises are sold
The Cumberland has no legal right
to do business IN the city now and
will be enjoined from running with
out franchise. If it buys a fran.
chise, as it will have to do or gel
out of town, the same limitations
would be placed upon it that will
be placed upon the new company.
So in any event the patrons of tele.
phones will save $4,000 or $4,000 a
year that is now going into new
buildings and fees to attorneys and
lobbyists, whose business it is tC
hold while the Cumberland skins.
Mayo Henry called the special
meeting before he left and the or.
dinance of 1902, with the length of
franchise increased from FIVE to IL
or 20 years, will be proposed for
re-enactment and will be voted for
by Councilman Galbreath, Davis,
Jackson and Duncan.

GOV. DOCkERI'S WHISPERS OFF.
They Once Covered His shirt FrOnt-ShOrt
Heard Made Friends Talk.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept 9-Despatches
from Jefferson City to-day relate that
Gov. Alexan der Monroe Dockery has caused
what remained of his beard, a beard of
thirty years standing, 20 be cut of. He
startled the State House people when he
returned from visit to the barber yester-
day. and some even failed to recognize
him.
Gov. Dockery had worn his beard SO
long that he did not have the heart to part
face, but was trimmed on the sides, and
extended down to cover his shirt front.
One day when the weather was hot he told
the barber to trim il down to small chin
beard.
The barber did his work wei but the
effect on his friends worried the Governor.
"You look like Bill! Phelps they would
say to him. and when the Governors face
would flush the explanation that it was
the ard that resembled one worn by
the leader OF the Missouri lobby would bs
forthcoming. -----,.-------.- .--,..-e ---
Dockery would rather look like any
other man in the State than like Phelps,
who has been a campaign issue.
But there was something in the cut OF
that beard that really did suggest Phelps,
and the Governor heard of il often enough
to begin to believe it himself
Gov. Dockery became beardless yester-
day He says he is tired of seeing those
whiskers in print.
