Washington, d. G, Jan IT,
Representative Crumpacker, of
Indiana, the leader in congress of
the agitation in favor of reducing
the representation Of the South in
congress, has been informed by
the president that 1t will be use
less to proceed along that line
elthe, in this congress or the
next as he opposes anything Of
that sort. This will settle tor
years to come, probably forever,
any serious party effort to cut
down the representation of the
South. Crumpacker and others,
to satisfy their constituents and
to save their political skins, may
agitate the matter ut the next
session and make some speeches,
but the majority of the Republi.
cans of the house and senate will
be glad to escape bother about the
matter, and fall back upon the atti
tude of the president.

John Clegg Charged
With Sons Murder.
Verdict Of Coroncr's Jury in the
Greenwood Mystery. Father
in Jail Awaiting Trial.

Special to The State.
Greenwood, Jany IS. Tbe
coroner's jury which adjourned
Monday to meet again today to
flush hearing the evidence IN the
matter of Scott Clegg, whose death
was reported Monday, brought in
verdict this afternoon that be
came to his death from O gunshot
wound at the hands of his own
father John Clcgg. The verdict
was expected in view of develop
ments after Mondays hearing.
The unfortunata tragedy has been
tie topic Of conversation ever
since it happened. BY some
sympathy is expressed for the
father, because of the fact that 1t
has been shown clearly that he
was drunk at the time, in fact, he
seemed as phrased by some to he
"perfectly crnzed.' Whether be
caused the death Of his son by
drunken carclessness or by the
impulse of a sudden blind way of
drunken passion will be for jury
to decide.
John Clegg was at once arrest
ed and is in the county jsil to be
tried for the murder of his own
son. The testimony heard by the
jury Monday, given by Clegg and
his son, was to the effect that the
boy was shot while they were on
their way to Green wood, and that
they did not know who did it.
The Jury heard from other witnes,
es that the little boy said Sunday
night after they had arrived here,
that his father had shot his broth
er, and that this WAS said in the
presence of the father. The lit.
tie boys changed testimony to.
day was in substance that hi.
father pulled out the pistol to
shoot at something on the road
and then (his dead brother and
himselt) caught hold of the pisto
and in bome way his brother wa:
shot. Witnesses living along the
road testified that they saw Clege
andheard his awful cursing. One
man, w. p. Rhodes, repeated
his oaths, but could not swear
whether 1t was directed at the boy
or at the horse. All OF the testi,
mony showed that John Clege
was as wild and frenzied az man
could be made by whiskey, anG
that as result of this awful state
he caused the death of one of hi'
own children. The boys mother
has been dead for several years

MIR Jno, A. Bridges, of death
Spring, as saying, 81 am going to
reduce the acreage in cotton on
my farm this year 25 per cent, and
will use only half the amount of
fertilizer l used last year."
Twelve acres TO the plow is what
Mr.. Bridges has heretofore plant
ed but this year he proposes to
plant only Moe.
MIR. Bridges is successful
farmer; he is also progressive.
When he decides upon plan he
has good reason therefor. 1t i.
not difficult to futhom his reason
for the reduction Of his cotton
acreage this year. 1t will give
him opportunity to raise more OF
other things and ut the same time
gives him the cotton he raises
more as Il surplus, out of which he
will have to spend great deal
less, and which will cost him much
less for production.
Clearly something needs to be
done to relieve the situation and
raise the price of cotton, and We
can think of no better plan where
by it may be successfully done
than by the one MI Bridges pro-
poses to follow. If there could be
a general agresmentIamong the
farmers of the cotton growing
states to adopt this plan they
wuold unquestionably experience
some very gratifying results with.
IN very few years.
The individual farmer who
raises his supplies at home and
cotton as a surplus, is much better
of than one who raises cotton
exclusively and expends 1t all in
the purchase Of supplies. -Ker.

SOME members OF newly elect
ed village boards have learned,
after they were elected, That they
have been chosen for q term Of
two years instead OF one, as
heretofore. 1t appears that one
Of the laws passed by the last
legislature provides for biennial
elections to take the place Of on
nual elections in villages. The
law is probably not q bad one,
lbs oft recurring elections are not
always for the best interests Of Q
community.
