One Of the earliest suggestions OF

the emperor promised Johnson $780,.

start and an immense sum II 1t proved

Ed McLain. who about week ago
stabbed Jack Goodwin. locomotive
engineer, late one night had a pre-
liminary examination before Recorder
Baber yesterday afternoon, and was
bound over to the city court on the
charge of assault with intent to COM
nit murder His bond was fixed at
$500.
Goodwin was quite badly cut during
the ARRAY, his left hand and arm he
ing slashed, a deep cash cut near his
collar bone. and the knife driven deep
into his neck, apparently as he tried
to run away, and was left sticking in
the flesh up to the hilt, between the
fourth and fifth ribs. The case had
not been heard until yesterday, be-
cause Goodwin was confined in the
City Infirmary, and was unable to APP
pear in court to testify against his
assailant.
DR.. CASTOR j. Greil, the city physi-
clan, testified that the last thrust
might have proved total had the
blade of the knife been turned hori-
zontal. so as to enter between ithe
ribs without friction. AS it was, it
did not penetrate the lungs sufficiently
to injure them.
Goodwin claimed the ARRAY started
over an accusation of theft by McLain.
while the defendant stated that he
had stabbed Goodwin in self-defense
in the belief that he was a burglar
who had entered his room late at
night.
Patrolman G. w. Miles testified that
the blood from the stabbing was on
a different floor from McLain's room.
He had arrested McLain later in the
night in the Louisville and Nash
willie freight yards. while apparently
attempting to get out of town on a

Increase in values.

List of Assessments shows General
Increase in values.
Double Springs, Oct, Especial y
Although Winston county Is considered
one of the poorest counties in the state.
yet the assessment this year shows a
gratifying increase of taxable values.
The average assessed values of the
lands of the county for 1904 was $l32
per acre: for 1905 the average value
was $l49 per acre, and far 1906 $2l7
pc acre. The total taxable values of the
county for the tax year ending Septem-
Der 30, 1905, was one million eight
thousand dollars, while the total tax
able values for the tax year ending
September go 1905, Is one million three
hundred and twenty five thousand
three hundred and sixty dollars. When
1t is remembered that there have been
no railroad building in the county for
a number of years. and that the in
crease of values are due solely to agri-
cultural interests. this seems to DO
quito fair showing.
The weather continues wet. and
farmers from all over the county re
port that cotton is sprouting in tn"
boil, and corn rotting in the field. AL
Intelligent farmer yesterday told the
writer that he believed at least ono
fourth of the cotton already opened had
sproutcd. and that II the wet weather
continues another week all of 1t will
sprout.

worth while, however, to emphasize the
fact that we can love God with the

live in the rich sunlight of His love-
but none the less for that is their ignor-
