Thaw Trial.

On the first day Of the States case in
rebuttal at the trial Of Harry X. Thaw,
District Attorney Jerome Con March I'D
came to q temporary standstill against
the practically solid wall the rules
OF evidence have built around the story
of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
MIR. Jerome began to attack this sto-
ry as soon az court was opened. Thele
ensued well-nigh ceaseless battle be-
tween the prosecutor and Dolphin M.
Delmas. leading council for the de-
tense, at the end of which Justice Fitz-
gerald upheld the rule laid down at the
beginning of the trial-that young Mrs.
Thaw's story was admissible only as
tending TO show the effect it might have
had in unbalancing the defendants
mind, and that its truth or falsity is
not material. Mr.. Jerome tried to
avoid this rule by declaring he was
endeavoring merely to show by infer
ence, by circumstantial evidence as to
facts and details in the story, that Mrs.
ThaW could not possibly have told the
story to her husband Although he
will doubtless be blocked by the came

Attorney General Bonaparte says
that while South Carolina acted
well within the old immigration

law this course would be illegal ;
and for that reason it now seems
that Colonel Schuler will have to

carried further than their legitimate
scope, and, divided on all public
questions as you may be, you
should at all times and under all
circumstances be united on Ruston.
It's upbuildlng, on its advancement,
on prosperity.
You must think Ruston; you
must talk Ruston, and above all
you must work for Ruston, In
this connections: There IS an anec
dote that ls told of a Chicago man
who asserted that there were but
three cities in the United States, and
upon being asked 10 name them,
said, New York is one and Chi
cago is the other two"
You must not only be ready at
all times to talk Ruston aud TO
work for Ruston, but you must
likewise be prepared to spend your
money for Ruston, for be it re-
membered that there is no town ID
America that has ever amounted TO
anything at all that was not at all
times and under all circumstances
prepared to put Its hands IN It's
pockets and spend money that it
might flourish, advance and pros
per.
And then again sou must have
faith in your town, IN its future,
in Its people, in It's career, in its
possibilities, and you must remem
ber that "Faith without work
avalleth nothing" SO you must
not only have faith in your town
but you must work for it; you
must not only have faith IN its
possibilities but you must work to
make those possibilities certain;
you must not only have faith IN it's
future, but you must work so that
faith may be justified of all men.
/ remember years ago when a
member of the Legislature of being
inoculated somewhat by the then
member from Lincoln parish with
the enthusiasm that he felt for
Ruston, and have never ceased TO
congratulate myself that this be-
lief in Ruston and her future made
me JOIN my feeble efforts towards
assisting your member of the
Legislature In locating the State
Industrial School in your city, and
/ am glad to say that the faith that
moved us then has at all times been
justified by the development and
the advancement of your commu-
nifty.
Ruston has friends all over this
State who watch her career with
pride and who feel certain that the
promise OF today will be fulfilled
in its entirety on the morrow.
There is one certain road to sue
cess in the individual, in the town,
IN the State and in the nation; that
road has on 1t three sign boards
and on the first ls inscribed the
words Work" the second is the
word "Work,' and on the third
the word "Work. Work for
good government for your munich
palitY; work for good streets and
good sidewalks; work for good
roads throughout your entire
country; work for good buildings;
work for factories; work for good
merchants; work for all the things
that distinguish live up-to date,

you will show us all "HoW to

a city from material standpoint,

out the advantages of location, of

tion that you are so familiar with.
1t you'd be equally useless to
discuss with you the moral advant-
ages of Ruston, derived from
church and school and the charsc-

Material wealth and moral well

You must. In all matters looking
to the betterments of your town,

The Eighth Week Of the
Trial Now Entered
WatermeIons for Profit.

For several reasons the culture OF
watermelons in the South for the
Northern markets is extremely prof.
liable when proper methods are EN-"
ployed. The culture is easy, most
any land will suit the melon and
the melons will require 40 crates or
boxes, therefore they can be both
cheaply grown and shipped.
SOIL.
Watermelons, like most ylne
products, thrive best 10 a eighty
sandy, loose soil. New land, as a
rule, is well adapted to melons.
The land must be well drained,
Therefore field having a slope is
preferable.
PROXIMITY TO RAILROADS.
To make watermelon culture
profitable, the patch should be close
to loading stations. The melons
being heavy, long bauls are un-
profitable in fact, many OF the
largest watermelon-growers in the
South are provided with q spur
track right in the field, where the
cars may be loaded ut leisure and
with care.
There are many excellent varie-
ties of watermelons, as the Geor-
gla RattIesnake, Mountain Sweet,
KoIb Gem and others, yet of late
years the Southern growers have
found the Alabama Sweet to be the
best all-around melcn for shipping.
1t is of an attractive, oblong shape,
dark green in color and of q sweet
and fine flavor; but the most im-
portant part is that it has q hard
and tough rind, and therefore pos
sesses fine shipping qualities, which
Is essential in profitable melon
shipment. Crushed ard broken
melons in the car cut q considera
BILE figure in the account sales of

reason grow the Alabama Sweet to
the exclusion Of any other.
FERTILIZERS.
While most soils in the South
would grow fair crop Of water
melons without any fertilizers, it is
equally certain that fertilizers en-
ployed in the hills are OF great as
sistance for earliness and a supe.
rior quality Of melons. There is
hardly anything better than
shoyelful of well-rotted barnyard
manure applied under each hill.
Care should be exercised That the
manure is well mixed IN the soil.
otherwise there is grave danger of
heat, which may burn the roots OF
tue young plants. Where stable
manure is not available, CONNER

centage of potash and nitrogen
may be applied at the rate Of about
