one occasion he found himself in a
railway coach with only one other oc-

the coach.
The judge grew restless after they
had travelled several miles. He drum

times, then finally, in desperation,
cleared his throat and asked in stem

"Madam, did it ever occur to you

The unusual question startled the
old lady out of her dignified silence
and the two old people were soon en-

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

News and Courier.
Gaffney, June 29.-The case against
William H. Mills. for the killing of
G. Frank Deal. went to the jury this
afternoon after o'clock and in about
an hour a verdict Of guilty of murder
with a recommendation to mercy was
agreed upon. The verdict Was 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 as the unwritten
law recognized by the Courts Of the
State, and that the pardoning power
was in the hands Of the Governor and
not in the hands Of the jury. The
jury was instructed not to consider
anything pertaining to the unwritten
law.
The arguments Of counsel were able.
They took about day. They were be-
gun yesterday afternoon and continu-
ed until dinner time today. Mr.. VIII
son made an admirable plea to the
sympathy of the jury. He referred to
Mrs. Mills, who was sitting by her
husband, when he pointed to her and
said:
"That woman was once a beauti-
full woman. knew her when she was
a student at Converse College and she
was considered one Of the most beau
tiful women at that institution. Look
at her now. She is twenty-four years
old and looks every day Of thirty" "
Solicitor Sease made very strong
argument and one that told on the
jury.
A motion has been made for a new
trial and will be argued on Monday
morning. Should the Judge not set
the verdict aside the case Will be
fought out in the Supreme Court.
Sentiment here is very much divid-
ed as to the Justice Of the verdict.
Many thought that the prisoner would
be turned loose, while some thought
he would get some punishment, and a
few years. sentence as he did. 4 petit
ton for a pardon would get many
SIGNATURES at this time.

Variations in Corn Yields.

Prof. A. NJ. Soule in Southern Farm
Magazine of Baltimore for June:
Two kinds of corn fSvorably known
in Virginia are Hickory King and
Virginia Ensilage. Believing that
there is material difference in the
strains Of corn bearing the same name,
several tests were made to study this
important question in 1906. Hickory
King was obtained from four sources
and Virginia Ensilage from three. It
is quite remarkable that the yield OF
the whole crop per acre in tons should
have been comparatively uniform, not
varviog more than half ton in the
most extreme case. The yield Of fod-
der was virtually the same, but the
Weld Of grain was not at all Uniform,
there being difference Of more than
nine bushels per acre between the best
and poorst strain of Hickory King
corn. With Virginia Ensilage the
yield ranged from 51.87 to 69.65 BUSH
els, a difference Of nearly IS bushels
per acre. These differences could
hardly be due to accident, as the sam
ples we're grown on uniform ground
and received the same care and treat
ment in 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 emphatlcal-
" that the strain of a standard var
iety selected may materially influ-
ence the yield obtained. This is a
point that cannot be emphasized too
strongly and should never be lost
sight of by the practical grower. It is
a condition clearly recognized by
stock breeders who understand that
certain families within given breed
are more prepotent, have the desir-
able characteristics engrafted 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 a variety would Sc
cure strains from a number Of sour
ces he would often find one quite su-
perior to all the others, and by util-
izing this one he could increase his
Yields considerably.

An Arkansas Bath.

Henry James, the novelist, arrived
at 10 O'Clock one night at Florida
hotel and could get nothing to eat.
The hotel was magnificent and ex-
pensive, but it's rule was to serve no
food after a certain hour, and IN con-
sequence Mr.. James went hungry to
bed.
Discussing the hardship afterward,
he said:
tI felt, indeed, like the tendertoot
who visited an Arkansas hotel back
in the '70s.
cit was a primitive hotel, and the
guest. on his arrival, said to the land
lord tentatively:
"'Landlord, I'd like a BATH
"tAM right was the reply.
"And the landlord went out, re-
turning in ten minutes with tin can
of soft soap, a towel a pick and a
shovel.
"The eastern guest took up the can
of soft soap and the towel, but at
the pick and shovel he looked askance'
"What are these for?" he said

Sheep in the Appalachians.

Prof. A. NJ. Soule in Southern
Farm Magazine Of Baltimore for
June:
The Cotswold are vigorous, heal
thy breed, and their fleeces are con-
siderably heavier than those of the
Down breeds. For instance, a mature
Cotswold will range in weight from
200 to $50 pounds, as compared with
160 to 175 pounds for most Of the
Down breeds. While the fleeces of
the Down breeds will weigh from sew
en- to nine pounds, the fleeces of the
Cotswold will run from II to 13
pounds. This breed does we'll in Can
ada and some Of the Northern States,
but has never been anything Like as
popular as the Down breeds. They
give their best results on rich pas
lures because Of their heavy bodies,
which do not allow them to be so ac-
tive as the .Southdown and some OF
the lighter. and finer-boned breeds.
If kept under shelter during the worst
part Of the winter season they would
no doubt do very we'll in Virginia.
Their wool is so long, however, that
when it becomes thoroughly soaked
by cold rains it is likely to chill the
animals. On this account they have
never been as favorably regarded by
sheep growers in the Appalachian re-
gion as the Down breeds. A little
change in management, however,
might easily overcome this difficult
tv.

Mrs Rockefeller Viewed from London,

NA-1SsAN~i
The wife of Mr.. John D. Rockefel-
ler, the man who rose from humble
station to be the richest man in the
world, with an income which probably
exceeds SIS a minute, has very lit
tle-known person tlity. Nevertheless,
it is abundantly clear that the great
multi-millionaire could never have at
tained to this unique financial posi-
ton without her constant help and
sympathy. She certainly shares her
husbands simplicity Of life and his
strong religious faith. It has been
said that Mr.. Rockefeller's house
hold expenditure does not exceed a
modest $4,000 a year, and it is
known that he was long accustomed
to teach in a Sunday-school belong
ING to the Baptist communion.
Some time ago a curious expert
ence befell Mrs. Rockefeller, the oc-
casion being an entertainment given
by the family to some 40 members OF
young Mr.. Rockefeller's Bible class.
The members Of the millionaire s
family themselves prepared the meal
in the kitchen, the young host and
hostess carrying the dishes and Mrs
Rockefeller herself handing around
the cups was heavy, but Mrs. Rookie
feller had no thought Of giving in un-
til all the guests were served. The
Joke was that one Of the guests grave
" offered her tip-which, however,
she was not allowed to pocket, for ii
was at once impounded for the
church collection! This is worthy tc
be placed side by side with the story
that the Paris Matin, having made a
rough calculation Of the value of Mr.
Rockefeller's time, solemnly Offered
him a check for 5000 frances in pay
ment for an interview Of Is minutes
This so tickled the millionaire that he
granted the interview for nothing.

Her Condition

A widow coy and sweet was wooed
by a bluff old sailor, who thought the
world of her. But not trusting him
self to make a direct proposal OF
marriage, he decided to speak to her
in the metaphor of the sea.
"Kate," he said, "your boat IS
drifting down the sea Of life, with
no strong hand to steer it safely past
the rocks. May I be your captain and
sail it for you?'
"No, jack" she answered with an
engaging blush. "but you may be my
second mate if you like!' !''-Kansas

On the Wrong Track.

Southern Farm Magazine of Balti-
more for June.
The News and Observer Of Raleigh,
n. c., says:
"Two full-blooded Chickasaw In
dian girls, now at Sulphur, [. T., have
written to the Agricultural and Me-
cilanical College here asking Presl-
dent Winston to aid them in securing
as husbands a couple Of the college
cadets. These girls are worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 each and are we'll
educated. and their photographs show
them to be good-looking. They write
Dr.. Winston that the educated Chick
asaw girls have banded together for
the purpose Of securing white hus-
bands. and prefer students Of agri-
cultural and mechanical colleges, who
are educated in agriculture and me-
rhanics. This tribe Of Indians, next to
the Osages, is the richest in the
world. No doubt the girls can easily
find suitors to their taste.'
These practically-minded girls have
gone about husband-hunting with a
guaranteed stake Of $4,000 to $780,
600 in the wrong way. They evident
ly have not heard that the only ac-
cepted channel for such educational
philanthropy is the General Educa-
ton Board Of New York.

HEMPHILL AND SENATORSHIP
Boom in His Behalf Reported
Launched at Norfolk.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Norfolk, Va, June 29.-Nothine
has proved Of so much interest to the
South Carolinians at the Exposition
than the. following "story' which
appeared under the headlines in the
Norfolk Landmark this morning: eat
a conference held yesterday morning
between three distinguished South
CarolinianS a little politics was in
Jected into the ceremonies Of the day
to the extent that Senatorial boom
was launched for Major J. c.. Hemp
hill. the editor Of the Charleston
News and Courier. Those responsible
for the boom are Editor T. R. War
ing. Of the Charleston Post; Mayor r.
6. Rhett, Of Charleston, and Speaker
Richard S. Wha1ey, of the South Car
olina House Of Representatives.
'Mr. Waring made the announce
ment. He said that it had been de-
fiaitely decided that the veteran edi-
tor Of The News and Courier should
be elected to succeed Senator Asbury
Latimer ana that this desire was
practically certainty; at least this
was tie view taken at the conference
held yesterday.
1.-The details were not gone into.
Mr.. Wbaley merely assured a repres-
entative Of the Landmark that Major
Hemphill would be honored with the
Senatorship when the next election
occurred and that South Carolina Day
was the appointed time for the an
nouneement.
"When Mr.. Waring had made this
announcement and his views had been
concurred in by Mayor Rhett and
Speaker Whaley, he was asked for
his impressions Of the Exposition,
having resided in an Exposition city.
Mr.. Waring stated that this was un-
questionably one Of the most beauti-
fl,i shows ever presented, and declar-
ed that the tone and character of the
buildings and layout generally were
exceptional. He said that the natur-
al beauty Of the surrounding country
served to harmonize with the Exposi-
ton, making it Illustrative Of the Col
onial character which has been fol-
lowed IN the entire construction.
"Mr. Waring declared that it was
an especial pleasure for South Car
olinians and particularly the people
Of Charleston, since they remembered
the cordial visit made to the late
Charleston Exposition by former Gov
ernor Montague and his staff at Vir-
ginia Day during their fair.''
Col. Waring seemed to be duly i'm
pressed with the responsibility Of his
position as custodian Of the Senator
ial boom. 1t was reported at the Ex-
position yesterday that Senator Till
man was here for South Carolina
Day, and as Major Hemphill entered
the reviewing stand he was greeted as
the Senior Senator, and tried his
best to look the part until it was de-
termined that he should be the junior
instead Of the Senior Senator. He
then kept both eyes open. The Char
lesion party left this evening for
home after having a very pleasant
time. Jas A. Hoyt.
