The soil should be properly prepar-
ed before planting the hedge. Every
thing else should be in good condi-
ton. The soil should then be turned
out into deep furrow where the hedge
is to stand and the plants should be
set in this and the soil drawn up to
them and firmly tamped about the
roots Of the plants. The distance
apart WHICH the plants are to stand
will depend somewhat on the style of
the hedge. If low small hedge is
wanted, as one most often ~ces in
England, the plants should be eight
or nine inches apart. If the trees are
to be allowed to grow larger, say five
or six feet tall, the plants should be
set wider apart. not less than eight:
cen inches.

Congressman Champ Clark Of Mis-

Congressman Charles B. Lands OF

"Where's Bill Taylor?" Mr.. Lands
replied: "He Is In Indiana and will
stay there until he gets Justice"
When Mr.. Clark took the platform
he referred to former Governor Tay-
lor as an assassin, charging that the
Republicans were protecting a man
who should be hanged. Continuing
he said:
"The Republicans want to rule this
country by assassination"
Someone in the audience cried out;
That's not true; you are liar"
Immediately Congressman Clark

A BOY KILLED HIS FATHER


Plattsburg, No., Aug. 15.-Lafay-
cite W. Jones, a farmer, residing
about nine miles west of this place
and two miles north OF Cover, was
shot and killed yesterday by his son,
Hugh Jones, boy Is years OF age
His father had refused to allow him
to take their horse and buggy to
attend church meeting at Maple
Avenue, near Hemple, where he de-
sired to go, and gave him as a rea.
son for it, the extreme heat and the
fact that 1t had been used all week
on the farm and should be rested.
The refusal sngered the boy. He
went into the house, took down a
single barreled shot gun, procured
some shells and then stepped around
the house and shot his father, who
was standing in a shed room near his
kitchen. At the first shot the father
fell. The boy coolly reloaded his
gun and again shot him.
A brother about years old, and
a sister, about 1S years old, on hear
Ing the shots ran out and cared for
the wounded man. The boy, seeing
that his shots had taken effect, re.
turned the gun to its place, and, at
the solicitation Other sister, informed
neighbor Of what he had done. The
shooting occurred about $50 O'Clock
in the forenoon. Jones was shot in
the head, neck and shoulders. He
lived until about 4:30 O'Clock in the
afternoon.
A warrant was issued against the
boy this morning, Sheriff Bryan
placed him in jail at noon to-day.
The family of the deceased is vel
known. The daughter was pros
trated after the shooting and became
hysterical. Mrs. Jones, the wife, was
called from the bedside OF a sick
daughter at Lexington to-day to the
funeral.
The boy has been an object OF In
terest in jail to-day, to which be does
not seem averse, and the only ex'
preston OF regret he has made was
to Sheriff Bryan, he stating that she
was sorry be had done 1t now"
