HIS BLACKLIST LOOK.

The following story is related of
Mr.. Clay's power as an orator:
A man was once being tried for
murder, and his case looked hopeless
indeed. He had, without any SEEM
ing provocation, murdered one of his
neighbors in cold blood. Not law
yer in the the county would touch
the case.
1t looked bad enough to ruin the
reputation of any barrister.
The man, as last extremity. ap-
pealed to Mr. Clay to take the case
for him. Every one thought that
Clay would certainly refuse. But
when the celebrated lawyer looked
into the matter his fighting blood was
aroused, and to the great sdrprisa CT
all, accepted.
Then came a trial, the like of
which has seldom beeh seen. Clay
slowly carried on the case, and it
looked more and more hopless. The
only ground of defense the prisoner
had was that the murdered man had
looked at him so threateningly that
out of self-defense he had struck first.
A ripple passed through the jury at
this evidence.
The time came for Clay to make
his defense. 1t was settled in the
minds of the spectators that the MAJ
was guilty of murder in the first de
gree. Clay calmly proceeded, ant
laid all the proof befors them in ,
mastery way. Then, just as he wa
about to conclude he played his las
and master card.
ssGentlemen of the jury" he said
assuming the fiercest, blacklist lool
aud carrying the most undying hatre'
in it ever seen, gentlemen, if maj
should look at you like this. wha
would you do?'
That was all he said, but that Wa
enough. Ths jury was Startled, an,
some even quailed in their seats

PECULIAR PROCEEDINGS.
Brother Employs Counsel TO Defend
And Father to Prosecute
Mrs. Odom for EratriCide. :.

After having been released ION a
81, 600 bond for the shooting and kill
ing of her brother, John Rich, Mrs.
Nancy Odom is now assured of justice
from the fact that D. G.. McLaurin
has been employed by her father,
Steve G. Rich, as counsel for the
prosecution, and Fl. S. Stevens by
her brother for the defense, both at
torneys being in this city. It will
be re nembered that on Saturday
last Mrs. Odom committed the fratri-
eide, and was taken to Augusta for
trial. Upon preliminary trial she
and her l6 year old daughter, who
was in some way implicated, were
placed under bond to await the action
of the grand jury, the bond of the
former being $4,000 and of the latter
$500.
1t is stated that the peculiar pro-
ceedipgs in which the father has en-
ployed counsel to prosecute his own
daughter, resulted from no i'll will
on his part, but simply a desire for
justice, inasmuch as an attorney
had been retained for the defense by
her brOrher.

No game between leag

No game between league teams
could have been better conducted or
more interesting. A large crowd
from all points on the Gulf & Ship
Island road were present, and the
fans were about evenly divided in
their roofing. The teams were al
most exactly matched, and played al
most perfecly, and no wrangiing or
i'll natured remarks were INDUCED in
whatever. Hattiesburg scored one run
i'll the first inning, and either side
was retired without scoring again un-
til the seventh inning, when Bond
made run. Nine inr ings were
played with the score tied to 1.
A tenth inning was then played and
with two men out and one on third
base, Pau, Ernest, the sky -scraping
center fielder, slugged out a two bag
ger and won the game. Bond came
up to the bat but Thompkins famed

1t was the most hotly contested

the southwestern portion OF the state.
and In counties adjacent thereto. on
the Pacific coast, between 10000 and
$1,000 acres are devoted to the lima
bean industry.
The acreage is much smaller than
In former years. due to extremely
low prices prevailing prior to 1900. to
three seasons OF drought resulting IN
crop failure except on irrigated lands.

Rate Of Wheat Seeding.

A fertile soil will stimulate and sup.
port more tillcring than thin soil.
so under usual conditions more seed
should be put on a thin soil than on
fertile one. There are conditions
under which an extra heavy seeding
may be more desirable on rich soil
than the usual rate. Where the grain
is inclined TO lodge. very thick seed.
ing will dwarf the stalk enough to
lessen this damage very much. In
the districts of light rainfall. the mum.
ber OF plants per square foot should
be less than In humid region. as a
thick stand would suffer more than a
thinner stand would when there was
a lack OF moisture in the soil. But
in these localities the tillering Is less
and the growth of the plants smaller
so the usual amount of seed is gencr.
ally used.-oklahoma Bulletin.

Orchard and Gerry Notes.

From the Farmers Review: Here In
Central Illinois apple trees are usually
set 80 to 30 feet apart each way. two
rods being thought the best distance
apart. There was fair crop OF np'
pies here this year. and fair winter ap'
pies are selling at 80 to 70 cents per
bushel wholesale. when hauled In by
farmers. Small fruits are often set
among apple trees and usually with
advantage to both kinds OF fruits.
When starting fruit growing over
twelve years old. set all my berries
among the trees. running all rows
north and south and parallel to the
tree rows. These berry p!ats all dii
well. md rnspberrlcs. currnnts ana
Sooscbcrrlcs seemed to be better Tor
some shade. The finest currants ana
sooscbcrrIes I ever saw were grown In
the partial shade OF an apple and
peach orchard. where the apples and
peaches were planted together. the
peaches to be cut out when room was
needed by the apple trees. These trees
and berries have been planted ten
years and are stlii In iine shape. The
peaches and berries have been much
more profitable than tho apples. the
latter not having amounted to any
thing as yet. hut with twelve years
experience would not again set berry
plants tcxecpt perhaps Strawberries,
among peach or plum. cherry or
ounce trees. these coming Into bear
Ing 80 soon that tho berries arc In the
way before bearing many crops. Be'

hrst berry row eight feet from n row
OF trees. the rows running north and

In regard TO the apple orchard writ

We may also lately conclude that
tho greatest number OF ewes may bn
