Winana King Segis

Sire; King segis. tbe greatest bull of the breed. Those interested in Holsteins need not be told that the and 3O-day records of King segis' dam and grandam exceed those of any sire of the breed.
 That his great grandam is the only COW that has three granddaughters through her daugh- ters that have l0O-ls 3O-day butter records.
 Dam Winana De Kol Korndyke has just made (March 9th) record of 27 lbs of butter in days, This record doubles the value of the bull since last week. This dam is not yet a full aged COW, and will probably better this great record. Her grandsire is Paul Beets De Kol
 The Holsteins hold both the milk and but ter records of the world, and the great pro- ducers are the two families united in this bull As doubts are expressed whether this region IS ready to use the son of a Sl0000 bull, MT Nutting in the interests of good breeding of- fers service of Winona King Segis for S5 pay able at time of service.

A BOUQUET FOR Us.

Mr.. j. +. Lee, cashier OF the Peo-
ple's Bank at Benton, Ark, former
ly of this county, In renewing his
subscription writes: 81 am always
glad to get The Times. 1t comes to
me like letter from All absent
friend; in fact, 1t serves the pur-
pose of letter from all my friends
about Pennington and in st. Fran
co.'s county, and never fail to read
every line in it, advertisements and
all. | frequently show copies of The
Times to the editors here, model
local paper, and ask them to try to
give us n paper like The Times. !

you at the right time, but If do let
me know and / will pay up. ] do
not want to miss single issue. "
Such commondatiou from the read
ers of The Times Is very gratifying
to us, for like all mankind, we like
to have n few flowers strewn in our
pathway.

LOCAL OPTION TANGLE.

Another complication Is added to
the local option question in this
county. 1t will be remembered that
the st. Louis Court of Appeals, by
it's opinion In the Retornaz case, de-
cided that the local option election,
held on March 7th last, was void as
to the city Of Pennington, for the
reason that the census of Farming
ton was taken in time FOR the County
Court to have taken judicial notice
that the city had over 900 inhabi-
tants.
When the Court of Appeals man
date topinion) arris ed, the attor-
neys for John Wilson, who had
been Indicted on information of the
Prosecuting Attorney for violating
the local option law outside OF Farm
ington, filed motion to quash the
information for the reason that the
local option election was void and
of no effect. Judge Killian heard
the evidence In this motion on last
Saturday, which consisted OF all
the records of tho County Court and
the City of Pennington that had
any reference to the local option
election, and the census Of Farming
ton; and, after the arguments, sus-
tained the motion and auashed the
information, thereby multiplying the
election outside OF Pennington; but
In passing upon 1t, stated, "This
does not necessarily authorize the
County Court In granting dramshop
license to any one"
This, In effect, makes the county
"wet" in the Circuit Court, but
"dry" In the County Court. 1t pre-
vents any one from being success
fully prosecuted In the Circuit Court
for All alleged violation OF the local
option law, and at the same time
prevents the granting Of dramshop
license, or In other words "breeds
blind tigers" and then insures to
the "tiger" legal immunity BATH.
1t would have been much better
had the question been finally and
unquestionably decided one way or
the other.

THEIR
SCENES AND MELODIES.

In this Triologue, Mr.. Henne-
man transports his avdienco to the
sunny cline Of
ITALY:
To Naples, with it's nearby vol
cano, Vesuvius, showing in beauti-
full colored scenes the city and its
surroundings. The favorite songs
of the Neapolitnns and their famous
dances, the tarantella, are Illus
trated by pictures, songs and in
strumental numbers. A trip to
VENICE,
Showing IL marvellous surroundings,
gives the hearers also a taste Of
the music of the gondoliers. In
FRANCE,
Views of Paris, Versailles, and
other parts of the country are
shown, and nm ancient chanson IL
traced from the time OF the Cru
saders to its home here IN the cOun-
try, where we find 1t In the form of
that rollicking song, ave Won't Go
Home TIL Morning"
GERMANY,
So replete In its national airs and
Folksongs, is illustrated pictorially
and musically in an interesting and
entertaining manner. A quick trip
to
ENGLAND,
Gives us an insight into its scenic
and music beauties, when the trav-
eller il taken to
SCOTLAND,
The home Of Burns and the birth
place of that famous song, 1.-THE
Campbells are Coming"
IRELAND,
At one time the most musical ma
tion, is next visited, and crisp
dances and tender melodies that in
spired Thomas Moore, and other
singers, close the European trip,
returning to this country.
OUR NATIONAL AIRS,
Their origin, and scenes and Incl
dents accompanying, then pass into
view closing an evening with l20
pictures, innumerable songs aud in
strumental selections.
Mr.. Henneman has been to
Europe twice, spending period Of
three years in search for these pic
lures and data for his Triologues.
The people of Pennington can antic-
ipate n delightful evening on Thurs

FLOWERS BY THE wAYsIDE

A young girl visiting the country
was following the farmers wife
along a winding half overgrown path
amid tangle of wild flowers. The
young visitor exclaimed at their
variety and beauty. 81 mean to
gather all can carry when we come
back and have little more time"
she said. "Better pick them now II
you want them," said the older
woman. "'Taint likely we'll come
back this way" 1t was one of those
simple, homely Incidents that some
times seem to epitomize life. We
must pick now, II we want them at
all, the flowers that God scatters
along our way. The pleasant hours,
the dear friendships, the offered con-
fidence, the happy gatherings-all
the brightnesses and blessings that
we do so often push aside, but mean
to find leisure to enjoy sometime
we must take day by day as they
come, or we shall lose them alto
gether; we never can turn back to
find them.-Selected.

Three Thousand Homeless.

Guthrie Okla, November 29.-As
the result of 4S-hour downpour OF
rain in the valley of the Cottonwood
river and it's tributaries, the Cotton
wood overflowed this afternoon. Sew
eral hundred of homes are partly un-
der water in West Guthrie and 5000
persons tonight are homeless. The
river was one foot higher than ever
before in it's history and rising rapid
ly. Hundreds of residents who re-
fused to leave the flooded district, be-
lieving that the river would not rise
so rapidly, were forced to fire shots
of distress before sunset. Hundreds
of boats with volunteer rescuers
brought the tardy ones to places OF
safety. 1t is believed that few per-
sons are still in their homes.
Street car service is at standstlll.
The city's water plant is under water.
Five thousand dollars worth of cot
ton was washed down stream and g.
600 bales are still in the water. The
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe round
house and shops are inundated. Rail-
road trains in and out of Guthrie
have been annuled. Much track has
been washed out and several trains
are waterbound.

Married in Jail.

Walterboro, November 2S.-One
of the most romantic marriages that
has taken place recently was solemn
lied on Monday night at the county
jail. The contracting parties being
Lou Hay and George Smith, colored.
These persons were tried last week
for the murder of Lou Hays hus-
band, Dan Hay, and found guilty Of
murder with recommendation to mer-
CIV. 1t was developed in the trial that
on Sunday, July 26, 1908, Dan Hay
died in great agony. Before death ne
claimed that he had been poisoned
with candy given him by his wife,
Lou Hay. When arrested she ad-
mitted that she had given her hus-
band trough on rats which had
been bought for the purpose by Geo.
Smith. The trial of this case on Sat-
urday was one of the most interesting
held so far. Capt E. L. Fishburne
and D. B. Peurifoy, Jr., defended the
couple.
Monday morning they were sent
for and placed in the dock, the
Judge passed the sentence of lmprls-
onment for life at hard labor in the
penitentiary. So Monday night they
sent for Magistrate Wilson, who was
a guest of Sheriff Owens, and had
him perform the ceremony which
made them man and wife. They were
taken Tuesday morning, on their
wedding trip to the State penitentiary
at Columbia.

NEGRO KILLED NEAR AIKEN.
Will Neal Shot by John NJ. Wright, a
White Farmer.

Aiken, November 27.-Will Neal,
a negro, died last night from wound
inflicted by Mr.. John NJ. Wright,
a white man, yesterday morn
ing on Wright's place, about
eight miles from the city. Wright
came to the city and is now in the
custody of the sheriff, having sur
rendered.
It appears from what can be learn
ed that Neal, who is a cropper on
Wrights place, failed to gather some
open cotton, and that Wright employ
ed hands and had the cotton picked
himself. This enraged the negro.
Yesterday Wright went to the field
where the cotton had been picked,
and with a force of hands began to
SOW oats on the land. The negro had
followed him to the field, with his
brother, and Neal told Wright that If
he did not get out of "his field" he
would kill him, and then reached in
his hip pocket as if to get weapon,
whereupon Wright shot at him four
times with a revolver. Two of the
bullets took effect.
Neal had bad reputation.

RACE SUICIDE GROWING.
Prof. Wilcox Points to Threat of Sc.
rious Depopulation.

Ithaca, November 25.-Tnat there
will be no children left, if present
race suicide tendencies continue dur
ing the next century throughout the
civilized world, was a prediction
made by Prof. Walter P. Wilcox, be-
fore the class in sanitary science and
public health at Cornell University.
DR.. Wilcox does not accept the the
ory that the advance Of civilization
or the spread of disease is RESPONSE
bic for the decrease in the birth rate.
He said: THE true reason for the
fall in the birth rate is that in mod
ern times, mainly in the last half
century, births and the birth rate
have come under the control Of the
human will and choice in sense and
to degree never before true.
"This power to control increase
has been used and is being used to-
day far too exclusively with refer
ence to prevent the economic advan-
tage, and far too little with due con-
sideration to social welfare and pro-
gress."
