ALL WERE GUILTY
NOT ONE ACCUSED IN FEDERAL
 COURT ESCAPED.
Had Day for Moonshiners in the Trib- unai of Uncle Sam--Cfose Ques- ton on What stiT Was
 Used For.


 For moonshiners yesterday was an unlucky day in the Federal Court. Sew eral violators of the law were either convicted or pleaded guilty to the ille- gal manufacture of liquor. Not one escaped.
 In the last case of the day. the jury was called upon to differentiate be- tween hog-kiliing vat and an Illicit still. Will Stallings, a white man of Henry County. apparently 40 years old. was on trial. The officers had found a complete hot still on his place, to- gether with a quantity of beer. Stall- ings, when he went on the stand, de- clared that the apparatus recovered by the officers did not comprise stiil. He maintained the place was used by him for killing hogs.
 The District Attorney proved by wit. nesses that no vestige of hog hair was found at or near the alleged still Thereupon the Government demanded of stallings to know what became of the hog hair.
 staliings replied that the hair had been picked up by children" for fer- tilizing potatoes.
 The jury didn't like the story told by Stallings and they speedily convicted him.
 Other cases disposed of were:
 Ben Adams, Houston County, Illicit distilling. found guilty; George McCar- ty, negro. Houston County, Illicit dis- tilling. convicted; Charlie Hooks. rie- gro, Coyington County, illicit distilling. pleaded guilty; Eliffiah Hayes. Houston County. illicit distilling. found guilty; Like Payne, Geneva County, illicit dis tilling, pleaded guilty; James Bevel. Houston County, Illicit distilling. plead ed guilty.
 It is expected the call of criminal cases in the Federal Court will be com p1eted today. Judge Jones has not yet called the civil docket.

UNKNOWN MAN FOUND IN CEzOC-
 TAwCHEE RIVER.
His Back Was Full of Buck shot and There Were Indications That
 He Has Been
 Choked.

Newton, June 2--(Special. )---An un- known man was found this afternoon in the choctowhatchee River. north of the Atlantic Coast Line Railway bridge at Waterford. by Dr. A. ]. Nor ris and George ". Masters, while out fishing. The body had lodged against snags in the river and from all indi- cations had been in the River for sev- eral days. and was so decomposed that 1t was hard for the jury to decide whe- ther 1t was a white man, rnulatto or thegro.
 A jury of inquest was empaneied by Justice of the Peace R. l.. Jones and Deputy Sheriff H. Posey, composed of A. E. Killebrew. John L. Stubbs, Thom- as Kennedy, Anderson Adcock, A. N. Helms and R. D. Wallace.
 After examination by pr. 4. J. Nor ris, assisted by Mir. Joe T.. Mitchell. the jurors made up a verdict that the deceased came to his death by gun shot or pistol shot wounds in the back and drowned in the river to hide the crime: by parties unknown to them.
 The examination of the body and wounds shows four buck shot or pistol shots in the back, and the face, eyes, and tongue. indicated that the unknown man had been choked or hanged, but no marks about the neck showed sufficient proof of hanging theory. The body inc dfeates the victim to be man of about 30 years. feet 10 inches, weighing 140 pounds, and wearing about No. high cut brogan shoes, yellow duck pants. blue shirt and navy blue vest.
 No papers or anything eiese were found to identify the body. Ills hair was red-sandy color and straight which are the only indications to show that he was a white man; other feat ures indicate that he was negro. Who the deceased is or who the nnur- derers are is 6 mystery. From all in dcations and general views of those present, 1t was believed that the un- known man was doubtless Q farmeI from up the river, and that he came te his death by unknown parties shoot ing him in the back and then choking or hanging him and then throwing hta body in the river.
 Recently 1t has been reported that some bad feelings have existed in the upper river neighborhood. on account of monshiners. Others say ft is posst- bly, a negro killed by his companions on Emancipation Bay, the seth. while in a crap game. as Waterford Is . great place for negroes to spend Enian- cipation Day. However, 1t ts all nays- tery and ssupposition. with no evtdenoa so far of Identification or proof who the dead man or his nurderers are. The body was buried by the jury on the river banks this afternoon.

IMPROVING SWEET CORN

Farmers and seedsmen give more
or less time and work to improving
the quality of various seeds and
plants, but the suburbanite rarely
takes interest in any special product
in order to better its quantity or
quality.
Some years ago took up the study
Of sweet corn as 1t grew in the gar
den. The earliest and finest ears
were selected and wrapped, so that
they might not be molested by birds
or other trespassers.
The result Of several seasons Sc
lection was that had corn that ma
tured five days earlier than any
known variety.
The improvement was made by
choosing the earliest ears, then using
only those grains that grew on the
middle Of the cob, rejecting each end -,
then selecting only the largest, best
shaped indianapolis News.

GROWING TOMATOES.

There are some attractive features
in tomato growing, such as selling
the crop before it is planted, and the
possibility of large yield, But to
obtain a large yield one must apply
a liberal quantity of plant food,
either in the way OF farm manure.
commercial fertilizer, or both. It
must be borne in mind that there are
certain expenses incurred, whether
the yield is five or fifteen tons to the
acre, and the grower is justified in
investing as much in plant food as
experience teaches will be profitable.
To go beyond that point would mean
an increased cost of production. and

PARSLEY THE YEAR ROUND,

PARSLEY THE YEAR ROUND.
Parsley started outdoors in the
summer, and covered with straw or
other protection in late November,
will be ready to pick at the end of
March, and will continue to be good
until seed planted in early spring is
ready for picking in June. Parsley
seed is very slow to terminate, but it
may be fastened by soaking for a few
hours in warm water before planting.
The latter will keep up the supply
until late fall, when It can be potted
and brought in, after cutting back the
foliage, to be treated like any other
house plant. The best plants result
from occasional transplanting and
frequent cutting back, but all the
leaves must not be removed at one
time or the plant will die. This will
be in fine shape till the outdoor sun
ply is in condition, the following
spring, thus giving parsley the year
round.
Besides potting parsley roots there
are two other ways Of preparing it
for winter use. One is to dry it. The
whole plant is pulled up and hung in
a dry place. For seasoning this, is
Just as good as the fresh leaves. Or

PYRETHRUMs FROM SEED.

Very few who grow Pyrethrums
think of raising fresh plants other
than by division Of roots, and so the
practice of seed sowing is not gen.

easily in this way. This is suitable
time for sowing in the open border,
