MILLS GUILTY OF MURDER
A Recommendation to Mercy Attach
ed to Jury's Finding-Many Sur
prised at Verdict.
n ews and Courier.

News and Courier.
Gaffncy, June 29.-The case against
William IL. Mills, for the KILN. of
q. Frank Deal, went to the jury this
afternoon after o'clock and in about
an hour Il verdict. of guilty of murder
with a recommendation to mercy was
agreed upon. The verdict was a sur
prise to many.
The charge Of Judge Purly practi-
cally removed the possibility Of any
other verdict. He stated that there
was no such thing rs the unwrit,cn
law recognized by the Courts Of the
State, and that the pardoniny power
was in the hands Of the Governor and
not in the hands Of the jury. The
jury was instructed not to consider
mythin" pertaining to the unwri,,ca
law.
The arguments Of counsel were able
They took about a day. They were be-
gun yesterday afternoon and cuntinu-
ed until dinner time today. Mr.. Will
son made IN admirable plea 10 the
sympathy Of the jury. He referred to
Mrs. Mills. who was sitting bv her
husband, when he pointed to her and
said:
'That woman was once a hrauti-
tut woman. | knew her when she was
student ut Converse College All ~he
wa> considered one Of The most brau-
tilul women nj that institution. .nnk
at her now. She is twcnty-four years
old and looks every day Of thirly'
Solicitor ScaSc made very strong
argument and one that told TN the
jury.
y motion has been made for a new
trial and will be argued on Monday
morning. Should the Judge not set
the verdict aside The ease will be
fought out in the Supreme Court.
Sentiment here is very much Iivid-
cd rs to the justice of the verdict.
Many thought that the prisoner wnull
be turned loose. while some Thought

Variations in Corn Yields.

Prof. \. NJ. Souc in Southern Farm
Ma"azinc of Baltimore for June:
Tw" kinds OF corn favorably known
in Virginia are Hickory Kin" and
Virginia F.nSilaye. Believing that
there Is Il material difference in the
strains OF corn bearing the same name.
several tests were made to study this
important question in 1906. Hickory
Kin" WAS obtained from four sources
and Virginia Ensilage from three. 1t
i quite remarkable that the yield of
the whole crop per acre in tons should
have been comparatively uniform. not
varNin" more than half ton in the
most extreme ease. The yield Of fod-
der was virtually the same, but the
yield "i grain waS not at all uniform,
there b' in" Il difference Of more than
nine bushels per acre between thc best
and r"nrSt strain of Hickory King
corn. With Virginia Ensilayc the
yield ranged from 81 81 to G0.65 BUSH
els, a difference Of nearly Is bushels
per acre. These differences could
hardly be dine to accident. as the sam
pies were grown on uniform ground
and received the same care and treat
mrnt III every respect. The selection
Of the seed and its care and manage
ment in past years no doubt had an
Influence, but the data here present
ed are sufficient to show cmphatical-
ly that the strain Of standard var
icty selected may materially influ-
cncc the yield obtained. This is a
point that cannot be emphasized too
strongly and should never be lost
sight of by the practical grower. 1t is
a condition clearly recognized by
stock breeders who understand that
certain families within a given breed
a'c more prepotcnt. have the desir-
able characteristics cngraftcd more
strongly and can transmit them with
greater certainty and uniformity to
their offspring. IF this point were
more clearly recognized and the far
mer seeking for variety would Sc
cure strains from number Of sour
ces he would often find one quite SUI
pcrior to all the others, and by util-
izing this one he could inc. Sc his
yields considerably.

Rockefeller herself handing around
the cups was heavy, but Mrs. Rookie

joke was that one of the guests grave

she was not allowed to pocket, for it

LEGISLATIVE DOINGS
The Lawmakers Have Gotten Very Busy This
Week and Many Laws of Prime Importance Have
Been Passed. Only Ten Days of the Session
Remain

in full by the chief clerk. Mr..
Holt amended the motion for the
adoption of the resolution at
once BY the House. This motion
prevailed by viva voce vote and
the resolution was declared duly
adopted. Mr. Hudspeth then
asked that Democrat be placed
on the committee in question so
that there might be no white
wash of the Governors dealings
in the lands in question. Mr..
Baca rebuked Mr.. Hudspeth for
insinuating that he and the re-
publican members of the house
were not acting houorably.
Speaker Baca announced the fol-
lowing aS members of the COM
mittee: Mr.. Abbott of Santa Fee,
Mr.. Aldrich, Mr. Beach, Mr..
Mullens tdemocrat). h.. Mr.. Sanchez
of Taos.
The house adopted reSolu-
ton to the effect that Monday,
March II. shall be the last dav
upon which bills may be intro
duced in the house except by
unanimous consent or under sus-
pension of rules.
Governor Hagcrman signed
house joint resolution number
seven providing tor the payment
of extra employees and contin-
gent expenses of the legislature;
also the act providing for the
filling of vacancies in county Of
fees.
A message was received in the
house Thursday from the
Governor announcing that he
had signed the act to encourage
sugar factories.
Mr.. Holt introduced a bill in
the house with reference to the
settlement of the accounts of
public officials. The bill is a
re-draft of bill which passed
the house with amendments
and embodies some desirable
provisions which were agreed
upon after consultation with the
persons interested. The bill is
very similar to the one previously
passed and provides that district
courts shall have the power to
adjust disputed accounts of
officials. Tie bill passed the
house by a viva vOce vote.
A council resolution making

way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deaf
ness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is iuflamed you have d
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube re-
stared to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
