Judge j. W. G. Blackstone. in the Cir

has refused new trial to Julian Paw
linic, the wife-murderer. who was
given ten years in the penitentMry by

After the prisoners attorneys had

that the venire from which the jury

The immense possibilities Of drain
age in making new productive land
for the United States are forcefully
pointed out in tho latest report of the
Geological Survey 1t Is estimated
that no less than 6o000,o0o acres Of
land may be reclaimed in this manner.
II less than half Of this work is done,
United States would be increased S2.~
500 100000. and that the crop values
would be advanced $750,0oo,o00 year.
This showing is expected to have q
marked effect on Congress in the mat
ter Of appropriations. But to impress
the lesson still further, it Is estimated
that with the division of this new land
into forty-acre farms, 1,250,o00 families,
or 100000 persons, could be provided
with homes; that each family would
spend some $4,000 in making waste
places bloom, and that the total ex-
p~nditure in thus lettering the United
| States would be something like ST.
! 300, 0Ua.00o. Truly an imposing array Of
| figures.
Florida, with 10000 square miles,
contains more swamp land than any
other State; Louisiana has $4,000 square
miles, Arkansas and mississippi each
have approximately 5000 square miles
