Defense Proves She Was on
the Street Instead Of With
Rustin

Omaha, Dec. 8.-Another expectant
crowd gathered at Judge Sears
branch of the criminal court today to
hear the testimony In the murder trial
of Charles E. Davis. Considerable in
terest was shown as to what the coun-
ty attorney would present in the way
placed two witnesses on the stand to
impeach the evidence Of Mrs. Abbie
Rice and number Of other Witness
es who had testified for the prosecu-
tion.
Mrs. Emily Allen yesterday testi-
fed to having seen Mrs. Abbie Rice
on the street down town about a
O'clock in the morning buying a pa
per, time at which, according to sew
eral witnesses for the prosecution, she
was at the house of Clara Gleason.
Mrs. Allen told remarkable story
and went into the minutest details to
show that she was able to fix the time
Of each event which brought her into
contact with Mrs. Rice.
All the way through the prosecu-
stion has introduced witnesses to show
that Mrs. Rice that night got on a
car at Fortieth and Farnam streets,
at 1880 and went directly to her
room at Clara Gleason's where she
remained until the next day.
On cross-examination Mr.. English
showed that some person, who Mrs.
Allen believed wished to keep her
testimony out Of the case, called her
to the telephone and said: you are
q great big bag Of hot air and you
better keep your nose out Of this
case"
On cross-examination, Mrs. Allen
followed closely the details OF the
evidence given on direct questioning.
1 Mrs. Allen then told In detail OF
having seen DR.. Rustin and Mrs. Rice
together several times. She knew
DR.. Rustin we'll and presumed all the
time that Mrs. Rice was his wife. Re-,
direct examination developed that
some person had called her up on the
telephone and told her, to keep her
nose out Of II" 3S s3;s5.

Unity Among Farmers.

A. Z. Mcqueen furnishes an article
on unity among the farmers and pub
lished in the Neshoba Democrat, that is
well worthy Of reproduction in this de-
partment, but its length makes it inn
possible. There is every reason for
unity among the agricultural people for
their protection against unity in other
interests. The Farmers Union is an
organization with unity as one Of the
principal foundation stones, and coop
Grafton prominent all through it. The
members know this and the informa-
tion should be sent to all good citizens
eligible for membership in the State.
1t is today the most powerful organiza-
tion Of its kind the South has ever had
and is destined to grow stronger so long
as well managed by good men.

Election of judges and levee commits
sioners requires neither more nor diff
ferent virtue and sense from that in
volved in choosing district attorneys and
other officers. If our carefully culled,
high-grade electors are unfit to name
judges their unftness is equally appli-
cable to other officers, and would prove
them unworthy of sclf-goyernment. The
people wish to settle this question for
themselves, and should be trusted with
its settlement.
The principle of our primary election
law, ascertainment and acceptance of the
viii of the majority, is immutably cor
rect. Any defect of method can be easi-
ly remedied. Limitation and publicity
of election expenditures should be legal
ly required, so that contests may turn
on men, not ON money-worth, not
wealth.
Faith in our primary laws, even as
to nomination of United States senator's,
should not be seriously weakened by the
recent reputation of their party's choice
by few legislators in q sister State,
upon pretext as well understood when
their party acted as afterward.
Perfdy or purchase of few electors
in any close presidential contest should
reverse the decision of the people Such
faithlessness, fortunately, is too rare to
destroy confidence in worthy institu-
tions and should merely intensity the
demand for direct vote for senator's
and presidents.
Railroads and other common carriers
are essential to modern life. Our com
tinued development requires their in
crease. They are entitled to reason
able return for construction and opera
tion. No general disposition to oppress
them, nor to check their development,
exists in Mississippi, but it is the sol
emn duty of our State, to the extent of
its power, to shield its citizenship against
unfair and discriminating rates within
the State; to provide equal opportunity
to every shipper, and to give our home
industry that advantage to which they
are entitled in home markets through
Statutory prohibition, training
school for teachers, reformatory for
youthful offenders, revision of our bank
ing laws in the interest of depositors
and other important recommendations
will be discussed through special ness
ages.
On assuming supreme executive au-
thority, to the extend Of my ability,
shall see that all laws are faithfully
executed, all offices are filled and their
1uties performed, fully realizing, how
ever, that without the aid of my fellow
citizens and of our Father on High, rev.
srently invoked, all my efforts would

State Sells Cotton.

The board Of penitentiary trustees
sold 100 bales Of cotton from the Oak
ley and Rankin farms, 10 bales of which
brought 16b cents, the remaining 80
going at 13 cents. There is quite lot
from the same places cot yet sold, for
the reason that the board has not had
bids they thought satisfactory. There
are now more than 1000 bales Of State
cotton at Clarksiale, and as it is an ex-
ceptionally high grade Of staple, it il
believed good price will be realized.
Practically all OF the States cotton has
been picked and ginned.
