Terrible Tragedy in Florida.

Tampa, Fla, January 27.--The little
farming community of Wauchula, in
Polk county, was plunged into excite
ment by the discovery of a crime equal
ing in horror that tragedy at Statesboro,
Ca, last year.
The home of John Kirby, a farmer,
who moved there last October from
Blount county, Alabama, was found in
ashes, and in the smouldering ruins were
found tho bodies of Kirby, his wife and
four children, ranging in age from boy
of ~ to an infant of year.
The whole neighborhood soon reached
the scene and an investigation was made
which resulted in inevitable conclusion
that the entire family had been muir
dered and torch applied to the dwelling.
The skulls of each of the victims, except
Mrs. Kirby, had been crushed in by some
heavy weapon and each, with the excep-
tion of the woman, had evidently been
murdered as they slept.
The general theory is that party of
negroes committed the crime, although
no traces of the perpetrators can be
found. Some believe other members of
the family were murdered in bed by
being knocked in the head and Mrs.
Kirby was outraged and then killed by
some other means.

Demonstration Farms.

Recognizing the fact that the cot
ton boil weevil will reach this state
in the near future, the United States
Department Of Agriculture has un-
dertaken to advise our farmers as to
the best means of resisting that arch
enemy of our only staple crop. To
this end Special Agent W. NJ. Bam-
berge has been assigned to Missis-
sippi and will establish permanent
headquarters at Jackson. By the
establishment of small demonstration
farms at points along the lines of the
Illinois Central and the Yazoo and
Mississippi Valley railroads, it will be
demonstrated that by an improved,
intelligent method of planting and
cultivating, as much, or more, cotton
can be grown to the acre as by the
old methods, and at the same time
conditions created which will prove
adverse to the weevil. Incidentally,
the special agent will deliver a series
Of talks through the state on inn
provement of cotton seed, improve
ment of corn and the building up of
the soil, due notice of which will be
given. The demonstration farms to
be established here will be under the
management Of Hon. G. A. Wilson
and B. H. Alexander, and will be con-
Quoted on the exact lines formulated
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. During the growing
season all cotton growers will find it
to their interest to take a look at
the farm, observe the methods enl-
ployed and compare the results With
the methods they are now using, All
farmers are directly Interested, for
the lines on which this farm will be
conducted are exactly those which
must be followed when the weeviI
reaches this seetion--that is, if a
crop Of cotton is to be made.

no Irregularities can exist. The CON-
pany takes all the risk OF loss, and
gives to its employees all the gain ex.
cept as noted.
Under this method, is first noted a
large increase in the store business
Three-fourths of the total sales last
year were to employees. After ali ex-
penses, rents, salaries and the COM
pany's interest were taken out, there
remained S27.3Sl.44, or 6.7 per cent
on the total sales, to divide among the
patrons OF the stores who are in the
eompany's employ. The rate of pro-
fit varied, being ten per cent at the
Proctor store, nine at Center Rutland
and seven at West Rutland, on their
individual accounts
The effect cannot be other than
beneficial to the relations between
this company and its $500 employees.
1t tends to knit them together in that
common interest from which the best
results flow.
