w. D. Rhodes, the negro charged
with shooting Mr.. C. B. Ellis, at Mar
tin station, Oct. 22, 1907, was put
upon trial. He was not represented
by counsel. Mr.. Ellis, who is totally
blind from the wounds inflicted upon
him, was in court. In a very few
minutes the jury returned a verdict
of guilty. The evidence against
Rhodes was conclusive and he was
sentenced to 10 years in the peniten-
tiary. In sentencing him Judge Mem
minger stated the law was made
quate, when for this attempted as
sassination the defendant could only
be sentenced to 10 years.
Doc Grant, a negro charged with
numbering another negro, plead
guilty to manslaughter and received
q sentence of four years.

guilty of manslaughter on Wednes-

TOWN .,BETTERMENT HINTS.

Street Names on sidewalss-orisinai
Idea For Protecting Grass Plots.
Two good suggestions for the i'm
provement Of town are furnished by
q correspondent Of Good Housekeep-
ing, who writes as follows:
'In passing through Canadian city
recently discovered something new
to me. In the more aristocratic Sec
tions Of the town the walks were en-
t1rely, made Of cement, and at each
corner the name Of the street was cut
in it In large. plain letters. This was
q great convenience for any one not
perfectly familiar with the localities.
There was also an original idea for
protecting the wide, turf covered park
ing at the intersections Of the streets.
at almost every corner a rough
wall Of stone three feet high had been
built from the walk diagonally across
the grass to the road, and this wall
was treated like rockery, being set
with hardy plants and ferns best
adapted to such a position. Such a
wall discouraged all passersby from
cutting across the grass, while its ef-
feet was exceedingly picturesque"

Vacant Lot CIeanino,

Every municipality should have an
ordinance and enforce it requiring all
vacant lots to be kept clean at all
times and not make a raid on them
once year, for the task is we'll nigh
gigantic if undertaken in large city
or town but single month each year,
says the Los Angeles Times Nonresi-
dents who will not improve their prop
erty and who therefore are valueless
to a city or town should be sharply
dealt with in this matter and be given
to understand that some action will be
taken, no matter if their property is
purposely "stagnated." Any owner
who allows his premises to become so
untidy as to offend the taste Of good
citizens harbors nuisance which
should be summarily suppressed or
eradicated. It gives the city an un-
favorable reputation and depresses the
price Of surrounding property.

CUTTING DOWN A BILLBOARD.
How Tacoma Jurist Proved Himself
Advocate of Town Beautiful.


Advocate of Town Beautiful.
Justice John w. Linck Of Tacoma,
Wash, recently gave proof Of his inter-
est in civic improvement when he set
an, example to other advocates Of the
city and town beautiful by chopping
down a high billboard planted upon
his property.
The story Of Justice Linck's work
was told by himself. Said he:
3 sWhat do you think did in the way
Of getting bit Of exercise the other
day? got hatchet and, going to my
property, I found an excellent form Of
exercise in chopping down large,
newly painted billboard put up without
nay permission.
ssMy objection to the billboard, how
ever, was not that it had been erected
without permission or upon my lot My
objection was to the thing itself as a
nuisance which, being upon my prop
city, had right to destroy. l did it
all myself. It was stiff job, but
finally it fell to the ground
= s.T have q suspicion" concluded the
Justice, ''that the billboard agency will
not erect any more signs upon my
property"

ATLANTA NEGRO GETS MEDAL.
First Colored Person to Receive Re-
ward From the Carnegie Fund.

ATLANTA, Nov. 26-John B. Hill,
the negro who for saving several
lives in a runaway on Peachtree
street was awarded a Carnegie hero
medal and a sum of money, has re-
ceived the check for $500 from the
hero fund commission. He is the
first negro to receive a reward from
Carnegie's fund.
The act for which Hill received the
award was daring one. The teams
of Henry Inman and j. E. Hunnicut
collided on Peachtree street, causing
both to run away. In the Hunnlcut
carriage were two little children. As
it dashed past the residence of Willis
Ragan, where Hill was working, the
negro despite weakness from recent
illness, ran out and seized the horses
by their heads. The frenzied animals
dragged him for a block before he
succeeded in bringing the carriage to
a halt.

The Beauty of Hawaiian Yards.

The beauty Of Hawaiian homes is in
the outlook-the turf, the trees, the
shrubs, the vines, the sea, the valleys,
the mountains, the things no man can
own, the beauty-property Of every
body having eyes to see and seeing.
This tends naturally to altruism, and
aside from the theory the fact is that.
while this community has faults and
blemishes enough, it is relatively free
from selfishness, says the Chicago
News. The rich, with one or two ex-
ceptions. are generous givers. public
sympathy is easily aroused, and when
these people waken up and get the
hang Of oftwentieth century democracy
that fusion Of fair play, horse sense,
piety and practical politics-a model
community will not be hard to find.

IMPROVING BACK YARDS.
Features of Movement on Foot to
Beautify Them.

Features Of Movement on Foot to
Beautify Them.
Paris is a city noted everywhere for
beauty, not merely Of architecture. but
of nature and the art which good taste
is able to evolve from nature. Par
ticularly is it known for the beauty Of
its trees and flowers and parks, says
Youths Companion.
The chief gardener Of the city of
Paris has been spending two months
vacation in the United States studying
American methods in developing city
parks and gardens. He found much
to praise, but had nothing but con-
demnation for the American city and
town back yard. In New York partlc-
ularly he found the back yards in
credibly ugly and neglected-no grass.
no trees, no vines. no flowers.
The criticism would hold good Of al
most any American city or town. but
the matter is one which young land
scape architects are beginning serious
ly to consider. One such man in Bos-
ton is making special study Of the
problem Of converting few square
yards Of brick pavement into little
secluded bower Of greenery where the
family can have a restful hour or
pleasant meal in surroundings far
more attractive than the average roof
garden affords.
Manufacturers interested in this
young mans work have produced spe-
cial pieces Of garden furniture Of &C.
ment and terra Gotta.
A New Yorker has recently told In
print of the curiosity he felt at the
wording Of an advertisement OF some
apartments to rent. One Of the attrac-
tons mentioned was the outlook on
real trees and back yards which were
gardens. Later conversation with the
agent disclosed the fact that the mod
est attempt at beauty which the win
dows commanded was real asset. 1t
raised the rentable value Of the prop
efty.

Public Ruildina Approaches.


There are dignity and strength In a
long and wide approach to public
building for the loss Of which no
mere ornamentation can compensate,
says the Los Angeles Times. One Of
the most peculiarly fitting Of such Wis
:tas is the parked main entrance to the
county courthouse In Fresno, CAL, a
building surrounded on all sides by
ornamental trees which during the
hot dry summers cast a necessary
and grateful shade quite uniformly
over a much traversed territory. Ow-
ing to a plentiful supply Of soil mois-
ture at no great depth certain classes
Of trees there make more rapid
growth than may be found elsewhere
in the state.

 Mexican Herald Word comes from Ciudad Juarez, state of Chi huahua, to the effect that more than two thousand Mexican la borers. most of them with their families, are starving and without work at that point at present. For some time past steady streams of Mexican laborers have been going to .Juarez to cross into Texas and get work, but when the stringent immigration regulations recently adopted were put into force all those who had not crossed found themselves stranded at the border. There is said to be terrible suffer ing among these people, and the aid of the Mexican authorities has been invoked.
 Chihuahua Enterprise: Accord ing to reports from Por6rio Diaz, Juarez and Nuevo Laredo, wheat is now passing through those ports of entry in larger quantities than has been seen there in many months. Wheat men have for weeks tied up at the border car loads of grain, waiting for the day when the tariff on American wheat was lowered to $1 50 per 100 kilos. This reduction occurred on February 15, and wheat immediately began to pour into the republic. It Is said that this heavy shipment will continue for several days and that wheat in large quantities will come into Mexico until June 13, wher the old tariff will be resumed.
