State Endeavors to Show That
the Murder Of Annis Was
Premeditated Affair.

New York, Dec. 30.-The prosecu-
ton today to clinch the case against
7. Jenkins Hins is attempting to
prove that the defendant and his
brother bought the pistol with which
William E. Annis was shot the dav
of the tragedy.
New witnesses have been called
and it is said that the object of the
state is to prove that the Hams
brothers, instead of going to Bayside
to purchase real estate as the defense
mas endeavored to show, went there
for the sole purpose of killing Annis.
In order to clarity the minds of tn
jurors the defense will ask that they

Jackson Miss Dec. 30.-As soon
after his return from Vicksburg as
possible, and with the beginning of
the new year. Governor Noel will
issue an address to the people of the
state, directing their attention to the
fact that Mississippi is now under
statewide prohibition, and calling on
all law-abiding citizens to uphold and
respect the law. 1t is his idea to build
up public sentiment and to encourage
the officers of the several counties
and the different municipalities TO
make it so very interesting for the
blind tigers and the lawless element
generally that there will be little cause
for complaint along this line.
Today is the last day for the legal
sale of liquors in the cities of Vicks.

The blind tigers have fiourished in
some of the dry communities for
years, and especially is that true OF
the city of Jackson. Only two days
since the chief of police poured out
and destroyed between $3.50 and 5000
worth of whisky and beer that had
been seized in raids on eight or ten
lairs during the previous week. and
yet has great quantity on hand be-
longing to one of the social clubs, but
on which claim has been made.
The police of Jackson have been
very busy the past month or two. The
tigers had laid in large supplies for
the holidays, and thousands of dollars
worth has been seized. As,~fast as
broken up in one den the tiger makes
new hiding place, or orders a fresh
supply The monster is hydra-headed.
and if the officers of Mississippi sue
ceed in stamping him out they will
have accomplished wonders.
Governor Noel believes the Iawless
traffic can be stamped out. and will
render every assistance in his power.

sPERRY's FLEET WILL
NOT SAIL FOR ITALY

Washington, Dec. 30.-At the navy
department it was said today that
none of the ships of Admiral Sperry's
fleet, now in the Red sea, will be sent
to the Italian coasts. This is due to
the remoteness of the vessels from the
scene of the disaster and the conf
dence of the officials that the powers
of Europe will do all that is needful
before the American ships could ar

I farm in Sunflower county was ap-
praised at $49O,39O. and since that in
ventory was made the convicts have
cleared and placed in cultivation near
ly one thousand acres of new land. In
the 1907 inventory, $50 acres of the
Suntower tract were valued at $50 per
acre, $50 acres at $40 per acre. 1900
acres at $50 per acre, 1880 acres at
$25 per acre, and the unimproved land
at 500 per acre.
An inventory made shortly after
wards by the appraisers appointed by
the new board of control placed the
value of prison property at $797, ,696.1O,
or more than $95,OOO above that of the
former appraisement. The differences
consisted chiefly in a divergence of
opinion to the value of the land at the
Sunflower place.

A young and afterward distinguished
attorney from an up country district OF
New York State was arguing his first
appeal in the old general term Of the
supreme Court He had been in many
legal scrimmages in justices courts
at home, but had never stood in the
awesome presence of five sedate and
learned judges Of the Supreme Court

barrassment was great. He repeated
himself and misplaced his words 90
often that it was quite evident that he
must soon be routed by his own con-
fusion unless something should occur
to break the spell. Finally, and just
as he was fioundering the deepest in a
chaotic tumble of language and ideas
the presiding Judge interrupted with
the following remark:
''Mr. Smithers, | believe IL will be a
great relief to Yourself and TO the court

and informal way that you doubtless
use In addressing your local justice OF

MEDITATIoNs OF A sPINsTER.

Not many men can afford to lose any
more money than being married.
When a girl says she will forgive n
man it means she is ready for him to
kiss her again.
About the time a girl locks the most
innocent is just when she is going final
~ to land him.
There is one stage both in being poor
and being rich wherein you step wor-
rying about your clothes.
A man is always interested in the
woman who will make him exert him
self to talk about himself
Pretty shoes and stockings tend to
make girl forget some of the things
her mother used to teach her.
One inconvenient thing about kissing
under an umbrella, it generally takes
advantage of the matter and drips cold
water down your neck.-Philadelph

Management of Bee..

Bees may be managed for either tic
production of comb honey or for eX.
tracted honey. While they will pro-
duce more of the latter TO the hive
than comb honey, yet the higher price
that comb honey will bring makes the
income from each amount the same
The difference in the management Is
that for comb honey little section boxes
are placed in shallow 'supers," or up-
per stories, in which the bees build
about one pound of honey per box,
while for extracted honey the upper
story is deeper and contains, instead
of section boxes large frames, in which
the bees build their combs and stoye
their product, the honey being extract.
ed by the keeper and the combs used
over again.
In comb honey the bees have to bui!d
new combs each time, but for extract.
ed honey the same combs are used over
and over again, and thus the bees have
time to give more extracted honey per
hive than comb honey.
The method of extracting the honey
is very simple, the first thing being to
throw a puff of smoke from the smoker
into the entrance of the hive. and IN
about two minutes the bees will be sub
dued. The next thing to do is to raise
the top of the hive and lift out the
frames one by one, and after gently
brushing the bees off, to carry the
frames to some room in which the ex-
tractor is kept. All is now ready for
extracting. Taking a knife especially
made for the purpose, the beelSeepei
shaves off the cappings, or tops, of the
cells. and, replacing two combs In the
extractor, he gently whirls them
around for about five minutes, and at
the end of that time every drop of hon
ey has been extracted and the combs
are returned to the bees, who fill them
again in n few days.
One advantage of running bees for
extracted honey over that of comb hon.
ey is that it does not lead to swarming
but as this perfectly natural process
comes from lack of space i'm which to
store the honey that is at times coming
very freely from the fields, it can be
controlled by giving more boxes to be
filled. and by clipping the wings of the
queen, in which case every swarm can
be hived.

FINEST KIND OF POTATOES.

Baked Variety Appeals Strongly to
One Who Understands Ii.
There are said to be LAS different
varieties of potatoes. The best kind
so far discovered, is the baked potato.
Of course, the potato grows down in
the chambers OF the earth, away from
the sunshine, the jolly zephyrs and the
songs of the birds. 1t is down there
among the worms and the creatures of

about it,
But. although its environment is dis

he lovely visions Of the air, dear old
mother nature takes good care of it
and suffuses its humble being with
many happy qualities through the mys-
tic chemistry of the soil, which burst
into all the exuberance Of a flower
when gently baked and broken open by
loving hand.

state that Ii possesses delicious quail

prunes in some experiments which
have been lately conducted in the can

was sent TO the Philippine Islands, re-
turned to the factory which put il up,

1t usually pays to store only the best
