BACK IN TIE PEN.
Ben Bennett, the Celt DRAFTED Crimf-
nal, Brought Back From Macon.

The Columbia R cord says Ban
Bennett, the decorated prisoner
who killed his wife sfter b ing condi
tionally pardone8 for another murder
is again In the South Carolina peni.
tertiary. Bennett was brought in
by Sheriff Lightsey, OF Hampton,
from Macon, Ca: where he was cap.
tured several weeks ago. 1t seems
that Bennett was ARRESTED In Macon
for drunkenness and according to the
story he told when being put In the
penitentiary, he was sentenced to
four months on the city chaingaDg.
Bennett evidently thought all
cbaingangs were easy marks, after
his experience in Hampton, and he
tried to escape but the Georgia guari
was really on guard and be was shot
down beforo lie could get away. He
has now one bullet In his back and
another in his hip, but he is not so
badly wounded that he could not be
put into a cell at the penitentlary
when he was brought in last night.
Bennett, it will be remembered,
was pardoned by Gov. Mes weeney
while serving a life sentence for MUIR
der, the pardon being granted on con.
dition that Bennett would leave the
state and not return. After Cover
nor Hayward became governor, Ben
nett wrote to him asking that he be
allowed to come back to the state to
see his wife st Ham to /, but the re
qlest was refused as improper. Ben
nett came, however, and while on
this visit to his wife shot ard killed
her. His story waS that while asleep
he heard some one at the window,
and thinking it was the sheriff come
for him, he shot, the bullet striking
his wife, who had arisen during the
night.
Bennett was tried for murder after
a ridiculous verdict from the coro'
ner's jury generating him. He was
convicted CT manslaughter and SEN
fenced to five years iup:islonmet,
which III er the laws OF the state
sent him to the Changing. Hs found
it an easy matter to get away from
tie gang In Hampton county and has
been at large a year or more until he
turned up at Macon, as statsd above
and was recogn z41 as the man want.

TREE ON ROOF OF THE
STATE HOUSE REMOVED

Baton Rouge, La, May 26.-The syc-
amore tree which has adorned the top
of the walls of the statehouse for half
a generation has been removed by NJ.
T. Carpenter, the custodian OF the cap
itol building. This tree had grown to
such an extent that its roots were dis
placing the brick On the wall of the
building, and it was essential that 1t
be chopped down. By measurement
the sycamore was found to be nearly
two inches in diameter and about six
and a half feet tall. There was some
speculation as to the size of the tree
while it was $50 feet from the ground,
and there was some surprise that the
sycamore was as large as il was found
to be. This young tree has been the
subject of much comment for several
years on the part of officials and the
subject of many a good-natured jest
on the part of visitors.

NOTE OF WARNING
TO COTTON MEN
PRESENT ADVANCE IN PRICE NOT
INTENDED TO BENEFIT
COTTON PLANTERS,

Dallas, Tex, May 26.-It is stated
that a mote of warning" is now be-
ing prepared for the cotton farmers,
setting forth that the advance in prices
is not intended to cause them to in
crease their acreage for the coming
year, and in this note, if it be issued,
Theodore Price will be mentioned by
name as bear at all times seeking in
the guise of believer of an advance
TO keep down the price of cotton while
l. is in the hands OF the producer.
The assertion is made by the Off
Gals of the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton that the acreage ii Texas has
been cut heavily. and some of them
even go so far as 10 name figures Civ.
ing the reduction AS a matter OF
fact, it is utterly impossible to even
approximately guess what the reduc-
ton has been or what effect it will
have on the size of the crop at the
end of the season. Many of the Texas
planters have undertaken the plan OF
cultivation advocated by the Agricul
tUral Bureau, and this was designed
to enable them 10 grow cotton despite
the boil weevil While the amount is
very small, this Is the first year that
fertilizer has been used in Texas save
in a very few instances But this sea
son many of the farmers have put fer
tilizers on few acres to see what the
result will be and merely as an expert
ment. In the aggregate this may cut
considerable figure later.

RAWLS TALKS OF
STATE CONViCTS
GOOD SHOWING
MADE IN CAMPS OF LESSEES
20, DURING PAST YEAR.

Mr.. S. A. Rawls, manager for the
Florida Naval Stores and Commission
Company, stationed at 0cala, was in
the city to-day on business, says the
Jacksonville Metropolis. The above
company is the lessee of the state con-
victs and Mr.. Rawls says they now
have about 1,200, of which about u
per cent of them are white, and of the
latter only 3 are females. There are
only 40 sick, and so far this year only
z have died O4t of / 800 eonvicts last
year only Is died. This is a most re-
markable showing. Mr.. Rawls says he
accounts for this health by good care
and not overworking and underfeeding
of the coavicts.
In regard to the many escapes re-
Gently from the camps, Mr.. Rawls says
that the mere fact OF change of les
sees and, perhaps, rules and reguIa-
tions had their effect upon the prison
ers. They became restless, suspicious
and uneasy and do not seem 10 wish
to go in charge of new men. He has,
however, told them they were imagin-
ing hardships they might never have
TO encounter, as they would. he be-
lieved, be cared for properly under
the new lessees. who assume charge
January LIST next
Another thing, Mr. Rawis says, that
prisoners seem to be more inclined to
escape at this season of the year than
at any other time. Once in the woods
now they can live on wild fruit and
prey upon growing crops without being
detected. They also want to avoid the
hot sun, and know they cannot always
do so except by escape.
Mr.. Rawls was asked as to the quail
fication of the guards, and he said they
were about as good as could be pro
cured for such service, and that the
cOnvicts generally took all possible al
vantages of the guards to escape.

Editor Pensacola Journal:
Dear Sir-When we signed the petit
ton to close our store. on Fridays
during the summer mentas,. it was
with the understanding that the other
clothing merchants would also agree
to close. But on account of the no.
tice published in yesterday mornings
Journal, over our own signature, we
have closed our store regardless of
what the other clothing merchants do.
Feeling as We do that both the
merchants and clerks need recreation
during the warm months, and that
Sunday is not a day for recreation
but for rest and worship, We hope
that the otner clothing merchants
will take the same, view OF it and
close their stores next Friday. If al!
close We cannot see how anyone will
suffer by doing so. Yours truly,
