 Quite number of other visitors, wives, daughters, sisters, and friends of the Odd Fellows, were also present. and good feeling and brotherly love permested the whole church.
 The services were closed in the usual manner in that church, and the Odd Fellows returned to their hall for further instructions as to how to pass the remainder of the evening. We dc not know bow it was done. but one of the many good things enjoyed. was an oyster supper at Havens Brothers restaurant.

Ifyou have made up your mind to plant fifteen acres in cotton this year, says an exchange, take our advice and don't do it. Plant ten acres in cotton and the other five acres in chickens-plant fifty hens to the acre-and you will make more clear money from your five acres in chickens than you will off of your ten acres in cotton, and that with one-fifth the labor.

SECOND MEETING.

The S.. Francis County Cotton Growers Association held its sec ond meeting at the courthouse last Saturday afternoon. There was a goodly attendance of farmers and business men present, making a very creditable showing, consider ing the weather and condition of the roads.
 Quite a number of addresses were delivered anent the reduction proposition, and from the spirit of the convention it had the ring of the genuine stuff and is not at all likely to evaporate into thin air.
 The committees appointed at the former meeting made their reports, their investigations and labors be- ing quite gratifying. The commit tee on ascertain,ng the merchants views and their cooperation, re- suited in flattering responses, and quite number of them were in at. tendance at the meeting and prom. ised their aid in carrying into eff feet the efforts of the Association.
 The committee on drafting a form of pledge to be signed by those in. terested in the matter of cotton production, came square to the point at issue, which article with some other matters will be pub lished next week.
 The delegates to the State Con. vention, which met in Little Rock last Tuesday, were Hon. s. M. Bla. lock, s. F. SuIcer, Geo. B. Pettus, Walter German, Hon. F. W. De. Rositt, Hon. V. B. Izard. Jno. w. Aven and M. N. Gaines.

Roll of Honor.

Our Roll of Honor is quite short ih week as far as number is concerned, but the nice letters of encouragement received, and the hearty moral support extended, makes us feel that the list is not otherwise "short" the least bit. The weather and roads have been against us, and few of our county friends have been able to get in 10 see us. Taking everything into cousidrS- tion, except the large number who have not yet responded, we believe we are doing fairly we'll. We hope when the weather breaks, court convenes, and cotton goes up few more po'nts, that many others will favor us with a settlement of old scores and pay year in advance for good measure.

The committee appointed by the

to report on the building of bridge
across Carquinez Straits listened to
the views of the executive committee
of the River Improvement and Drain

that the question at issue was the
building of a bridge that would be
helpful to all interests and that the
association would not be opposed to
the construction of a bridge If it were
not detrimental to navigation or the

GIVES EVIDENCE
AGAINST RAYL
G.. Ducarpe Says That Indi-
yidual Was Beaten Because
He Insulted Miss McHenry
TELLS OF ONE INCIDENT
Contradictory Stories as
to Withdrawal Of Prosecu-
ton Against Lady in Case

The trial of the damage suit brought
by Garfield Rayl against Roland Muir
dock, Frank Hancock, Sol Landsburg
and John DAILY for an alleged assault
was resumed yesterday in Justice of
the Peace Van Nostrand's court. The
attorney for the defendants endeav
ored to show that the assault on Rayl
was the result of his continued insults
to Miss Theresa McEenry, who testi-
fed at the last hearing that she had
been a party to the plot of the defend
ants and had lured Rayl to the pro-
posed scene Of attack on Davis street
by a story concocted for the occasion.
The fact that Rayl had pressed his
unwelcome attentions upon Miss Nc
Henry was strongly brought out by one
witness, George Ducarpe, formerly pro-
prietor of the Larchmont House, where
Miss McHenry kept herself hidden
after the attack on Ray. to keep away
from newspaper reporters.
Miss McHenry told me about the
fight after it happened" said Ducarpe.
She seemed to be proud OF the part she
took in the scheme and happy over
the fact that she had lured Rayl to
the vicinity of SanguinettiS S restaurant
by the tale that she had won S25 at
the races and. wanted him to take her
home. She said the four men wanted
to beat Rayl because he had insulted
her. She went into the details of the
insult, but it was needless, as / had
witnessed it. The incident occurred in
room 81 of the Edgmere Hotel and
when / appeared Rayl ceased to annoy
Miss McHenry, who told the defend
ants in the case about her trouble.
RayPs attorney asked Ducarpe If it
was not a fact that it was agreed to
concoct the story that Rayl had at
tackled Miss McHenry, but it was un-
decided whether to fix the incident at
the Edgmere or the Angelus Hotel.
Ducarpe answered that a similar in
cident happened at the Angelus in the
room of Hancock, who also witnessed
the second affair, but he CDucarpe)
knew personally about the Edgmere
occurrence only.
Sol Landsburg, one of the defend
ants, was voluble witness alleging
that Rayls reputation was not good
and that Rayl owed him money.
"Rayl had often boasted he could
whip Britt" said Landsburg, "and l
went down just to see the fight on
Davis street, but did not know that
Murdock. DAILY and Hancock were go
ing to attack him. Miss McHenry told
me that her brother-in-law, NJ. Haas,
and Rayls attorney had agreed with
her that she would not be prosecuted
civilly or criminally If she would tes-
tify that she had been intimidated by
Hancock into being a confederate in
the plot to beat Rayl. She said she
did not want to testify to such a lie
and Hancock had advised her to tell
the truth
Landsburg's testimony was in direct
conflict with that of Miss McHenry,
who previously testified that she feared
the defendants would do her bodily
harm if she did not join the conspir-
acy. The case was then continued un-

Work Making Bad Money
FIND COMPLETE OUTFIT
Coins So Poorly Initiated
That No One Could Ever Be
Deceived Into Taking Any

For ten years a slave to the use of
morphine. Walter Horn of 1920 Laguna
street essayed to obtain money for the
purpose of satisfying his craving for
the drug by making counterfeit coins.
He occupied the second story of small
building In rear Of No. 1920, his brother
Joseph, an Industrious electrician, oc-
cupying rooms in the house in front.
United States Secret Service Agents
Hazen. Moffitt and Foster learned sew
eral weeks ago that he had been buy
ing lead, copper, antinony, tin and
plaster of paris, and the sleuths shad-
owed him. They found that he was
not attempting to pass counterfeit
money, and it was decided that they
should seize his plant and put an end
to his and their midnight vigils, SO at
late hour on Monday night the three
sleuths, armed with electric dark Ian
terms of the latest and most approved
pattern, tiptoed up stairs. holding their
breath meanwhile. Arrived at the
landing they found the door unlocked
and they bolted into the room. The
counterfeiter was sitting near the bed,
shaving himself. Hazen took the razor
away from the amateur barber for fear
that he might cut himself, and placed
Horn under arrest. On a table in the
ing plant, consisting of a gasoline fur
mace several crucibles and melting
pots, a pair of gold scales, a large col
lection of plaster molds for quarters,
halves and dollars: large quantity of
metal and plaster and small bag
full of counterfeit coins. The coins
are so poorly made, however, that the
secret service men have doubts whether
any person would accept them for
good money. The prisoner admitted
his guilt He said that because he
had not been able to find any one to
give him instructions In the art of
coming he had not been able to do as
good work as he should.
The prisoner is an ex-convict, having
served a term in the penitentiary fo.'
burglary.
John Rivas, driver for the Board
of Health, brought to Agent Hazen's
office yesterday four plaster molds for
the manufacture of counterfeit dollars
and one coin, all of which he had
found in an ash can on Stockton street,
between Sutter and Post.

a bridge to be built, by the State should
be agitated with the view to action by

no corporation would ever be granted
the privilege of a bridge across the
Hudson River; he did not see why an
