that no person is ever killed, or even

utilized. The new Baum book for this

Vera Cruz, Mex, March 11.-Large
shipments of Mexico coffee are going
from this port to New York. The
steamer Havana, of the Ward Line,
carried record breaking cargo of l.
$50, 900 pounds of coffee, and the Es-
peranza, of the same line, will leave
for New York with nearly an equal
amount. Developments in the coffee
market have convinced merchnts here
that there is no immediate hope for a
rise in prices, but on the contrary the
tendency will be lower and they are
making all haste to unload their sur
plus.
Arcadia, Fla March ll.-This

Cooper's attorney, NJ. L. Williams,
made motion for new trial, claim
ing that the Indictment was defective
and alleging as a ground the refusal of
Judge Wall to give the instructions
requested by the defence on the ques-
ton of an alibi. Judge Wall denied
the motion, and the case will be taken
to the Supreme Court. At 2 O'Clock
Judge Wall sentenced Cooper to %

SAVING POTATOES.

Mr.. Henry L. Hoke, of the Clay Hill
neighborhood, left at The Enquirer
Office on Monday some potatoes that
we're saved in accordance with the
plan outlined by correspondent OF
the News and Courier last fall and
republished in The Enquirer. Mr..
Hoke says the plan struck him as be-
ing practical, and although he had
but a small crop of potatoes he deter
mined to make trial. He put eight
bushels of potatoes in trench five
feet long, two feet wide and three feet
deep. Then be covered the potatoes
with a hip roof of boards, covered
with earth to depth of six or eight
inches, and dug trench around the
sides for drainage. The heavy rains
came along and some water got into
the potatoes. AS the result of this be
made better covering for the roof.
He went into the potatoes few days
ago, and with the exception of half
bushel that had rotted he found them
in frst-class condition.
Mr.. Hoke is satisfied that the trench
plan is the thing. 1t is not only the
most economical, but the most efec-
tive way Of keeping potatoes through
the winter.-Yorkville Enquirer.

Mr.. D. A. Tompkins, of Charlotte,
N. c., has recently published figures
to show that at thirty-five years old
the earning capacity of man with
common school education and special
training for his work is twelve and a
half times greater than that of an IL
literate and unframed man; that the
earning capacity of man with high
school education and training is twen-
ty-fve times greater than that of the
ilIiterate and unframed man; that the
earning capacity of man with col
lege education and training Its thirty
seven and half times greater than
that of the illiterate and unframed
man, and the earning capacity OF
a man with university education and
training is fifty times greater than that
of the illiterate and unframed man. So
that the value to the commonwealth OF
the man with university education
and proper training for his business
is fifty times greater than the value
of the illiterate and unframed man.
