WEALTHY FARMER SLAIN
AND BODY HID IN HAY
Negro Suspected of Brutal MUIR
der and Officers Seek
Fugitive

SABETHA. Kas., Dec. 19.-Mutilated
almost beyond recognition, the body of
Dennis Casey. aged 65 years. a well to
do farmer who settled in Sabetha more
than 80 years ago, was found today in
a haystack at the rear of his home.
Casey had been missing for more than
week. and it is supposed that he was
murdered for his money. 1t was COM
mon gossip about town that Casey al
ways carried a large sum of money
upon his person. The murderer appar-
emily had used a blunt instrument to
crush CaSey's skull and then completed
his work with a pitchfork.
Two weeks ago last Wednesday night
Casey was at the home of a neighbor
and expressed fear of David Woods, a
negro, when he left for his home. This
was the last seen of him alive. His
disappearance finally resulted in the
searching party which found his body
I today.
A coroner's Jury returned verdict
that Casey had met death by weapon
in the hands of David Woods. 1t was
learned Woods had traded a mule
owned by Casey TO a neighboring
farmer for a pony and check for s35
and had cashed the check in Oneida.
Woods has not yet been located.

TOBACCO GROWING IN
MAINE SUCCESSFUL
Experiment Profitable and DEM
onstrates That Weed Will
Flourish in State

It has apparently remained for Pope
Gibbs to demonstrate in his own garden,
situated about mile from the soldiers
home In Togues, that tobacco can be
successfully grown in Maine. Last year
Gibbs raised about so pounds Of to-
bacco from 79 plants. This year he
raised very nearly the same amount
from only 35 plants, the season being
much more favorable for the growth
of the plant. Gibbs had no diff1cuIty
in disposing of the tobacco which he
raised last year and which was gem
orally conceded to be of excellent quail
fly. He cured it in his barn, which has
ventilator and where, by opening the
doors, he was able to get the current
of air necessary for the best results,
the conditions being quite as favorable
as in the best tobacco curing plants of
the south.
The opinion was generally expressed
last season that while Gibbs was sue
cessful in raising tobacco in this state.
1t would not be possible to mature the
seed here. This year he has disproved
this idea by maturing tobacco stalk
more than seven feet high, with an
exceptionally well developed cluster of
seeds.=Kennebec Journal.

GEORGIAN OPPOSED
TO FREE" LUMBER
Change in Tariff Would Not
Lower Prices to Consum-
ers, He Says

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-The timber
schedule was again under discussion
before the house ways and means COM
rnittee for a short time today. III. Fl
Tiff of Triton, Ga, who appeared at the
request of the committee, said that the
creation Of forest reserves by the gov
ernment had the effect of increasing
the price OF stumpage. He declared
that the government got the highest
prices for what it sold
Tiff asked that the lumber schedule
be left undisturbed. saying that the
free entry Of lumber would not tend to
conserve the American forests and that
the consumers probably would get nc
benefit in the way OF reduced prices
He admitted that he would be satisfied
with the retention of the tariff on the
low grades of lumber.
Chairman Payne asked Tiff why the
people of the south come before the
committee and asked for higher duties
than the people from any other section
and then voted for a low tariff in the
national election.
Taft got 10000 votes in Georgia.
remarked the witness.
"Yes. but he should have got a ma.
jority."
There was no campaign made foI
him." rejoined the witness.
The testimony of Z. d. Metcalf OF
Auburn, y. Y, representing the Inter
national harvester company, was simi-
lar in many respects to that of Judge
E H. Gary of the United States stee
corporation yesterday.
Metcalf said his company was eC
well intrenched IN the agricultural i'm
plement business that it did not neet
the tariff and that it was immateria

of the young man who's life was sc
suddenly end RUTHLESS J taken. While
at the home of his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. B. S. Tate, Sunday morning. a
hammerless pistol was accidently dis
charged in his pocket by coming in con-
tact with some silver dollars, the ball
going through the abdomen and
lodging near the backbone. DR.. Spen-
Ger was summed and upon examination
of the wound he advised that the young
man be carried to Memphis where the
hospital facilities for operation would
afford every chance. to save his life.
He was taken to Memphis Sunday ac-
-companied by DR.. Spencer, and Romie
Tate, his brother. but nothing could be
done to save his life He died Monday
night at 10 O'Clock The body was
brought back and carried to the family
cemetery near Richmond for interment.
Will Tate was a young man of fine
character and no one new him but to

perfectfuliy independent unbi-
ased newspaper agrees with Col
onel Watterson's assertion that
Mr., Bryan mas a good fighting
chance. Of course, he has.
Even Mr.. Bryan's most serious
blemist namely, that he is a dem
agogue of the extreme type,
may not be after all a very great
handicap. The country-has just
almost eight years Of experience
with a demagogue of the extrem-
est type in the White House.
And it still survives. Why should
it not survive four years more
with another demagogue there !?
Finance and industry and COM
merce can scarcely receive a
fiercer battering under Mr.. Bry-
an than they have received un-
der Mr.. Loosevelt.
| If the Herald was a partisan
newspaper, its opinion of the
candidates would be largely dis
counted. It would, as do other
partisan papers, pick its favorite
paint in glowing colors his spec
ial qualities, while it would pour
out it's animadversions upon the
opposition. But bipartisan and
independent, with a partiality if
possible for Taft, the Herald's
expression, as a statement of
chances, is most valuable. No
otner newspaper possesses such
complete and accurate means of
knowing public feeling in regard
to the national campaign, and
the evident candor with which
the Herald expresses itself COM
mands confidence in it's SINGER
ity.
That Mr.. Bryan's chances of
election are steadily and visibly
increasing is a fact not to be de-
MED, and this increase is most
plainly apparent in the East,
where Mr.. Bryan was supposed
to have no supporters. He not
only has a fighting chance of
election, but the chances are
growing so visibly and indisput-
ably in his favor that they are
accepted as authoritative by the
most bipartisan and independent
