PRAYING PILGRIMS
CLIMB HIGH MOUNT

CINCINNATI, o., April 10.-In penitence
for their sins and with faithain their re-
mission because Of the indulgence granted
from Rome years ago to all who should
make the pilgrimage on Good Friday up
the long flight that leads to the church
of the Immaculate Conception. on the
summit of Mount Adams, this city, thou
sands of devout Catholics toiled piously
upwards yesterday, praying as they
climbed. Their pilgrimage, in emulation
of the Saviours toilsome journey up the
Mount of Calvary, when He bore his
cross to the crucifixion, made spectacle
impressive and inspiring.
During the early morning the pilgrim
age began, but because of the cold wealth
err there were long periods when the steps
that lead up to Celestial avenue were al
most deserted.
Each pilgrim paused on every one of the
nearly three hundred steps and whispered
a prayer.
Catholics from all the parishes of Gin
cinnati and many from across the river
came by hundreds, and some came from
still farther away, as the Mount Adams
climb is widely famed among devout
Catholics.
tents increased and throughout the af-
ternoon the never-ending procession went
on.
This pilgrimage up Mount Adams is
not of itself the sole condition of forgive
ness. as religious conditions are a pre-
requisite

system. II is also more difficult to han
die for hay or to pillow under because II is
runner and being a rank and vigorous
grower the vines tangle very badly.
The Black is an excellent variety, one
OF it's special virtues being it's hardness.
IL can stand exposure to rain and frost
longer and more successfully than any
other variety. In fact, is can be left
on the ground and pastured with hogs
through a good portion of the winter. and
will sometimes reseed itself, producing
a good crop the following seasn.
The Lady pea is an excellent climber
and one OF the best adapted for growing
with corn or sorghum as a balancing
factor for siIage and forage crops.
The Clay is another good. strong-grow-
ing variety, but does not climb WELL and
being inclined to run and taking much
longer to mature than the Whippoorwill,
IL Is not so well adapted for hay making
as the latter. These are some of the prin-
cipal varieties adapted to growth in the
south
The Iron Is resistant to the Wilt dis
ease and very valuable on that account in
localities where the disease is prevalent.
In the north the New Era and Warren's
Extra Early are two o the best known
varieties. though the wAippoorwill is be-
sections of the country north Of the Ohio
river. and the limit of its successful Gull
tivation is being extended further north
every year through the medium Of selec-
ton.
The farmer who wishes TO cultivate
cowpeas and knows but little Of them
should endeavor TO obtain his seed from
as near the section in which he proposes
to grow them as possible. for the same
variety brought from the far south to
a more northern cline will continue to
grow and make vine during the season
rather than set fruit and mature early.
in carrying the pea north, therefore, it
is necessary TO secure the seed always
from the nearest northern limit OF sue
cessful cultivation. The source of the
seed also limits the amount Of nitrogen
assimlIated and food produced by the
plant. the nature OF fits growth. and the
amount OF seed IL viii yield. The time Of
planting also affects these several char
acters, and all OF these factors must be
taken into consideration I'm selecting a
variety adapted TO the particular locality
in which the pea is to be grown.

Mr.. Gilbert, although a cousin of Mrs.
Sampson by marriage, stood BY his duty
and prosecuted the case as vigorously as
the facts would permit.
Testimony in Rebuttal
The last day OF the trial was spent in
presenting the defense's case and in lis
tening to the closing arguments Of the
state and the defense, and TO the charge
of Judge Rich. The testimony OF the
defense was brief, mad was confined
chiefly to rebutting the testimony of DR..
Albert II. Hamilton. a gun expert, that
the hole made in SIMPSONS outer shirt
was made by a bullet fired from a dis
lance. and that Harry Sampson could
not, therefore, have committed suicide,
as the defense alleged. DR.. Albert F.
Hall. of Fulton, n. Y, was the gun ex-
pert who testified for the defense
1t was $50 o'clock last night when Judge
Rich completed his charge to the jury
An hour and forty minutes later the
jury asked for the ground plan Of the
lower floor of the Allyn house, where
Sampson met his death. They also ask
ed for the two shirts and other exhibits
used by the gun experts. These were
given them.
At 10 O'Clock the jurymen reported to
Judge Rich that they had reached an
agreement.
Mrs. Sampson trembled with excite

Treatment for Lice ON MuIes

stantly The hair comes OF in spots.
have tried a few simple remedies, but
they did not seem to do him any good.
What would you suggest doing for him?
Your mule is probably suffering from
infestation by lice; at least the symptoms
would indicate this. A close examination
of the skin should reveal whether this is
true or not. as the eggs or nits attached
to the hair can be observed readily by
the naked eye. The first and most inn
portant matter in treating a case of this
kind is to thoroughly disinfect the stable
This may be done by giving II a coat Of
paint or whitewish, filing all the cracks
carefully. Then, all the litter and loose
material i'm and around the barn should
be burned and the rubbing posts or other
places likely to harbor the nits should be
washed with a strong solution of one
part of carbolic acid to twenty parts of
water. In fact, II would be we'll to use
this solution on the stable before applying
the whitewash. A good solution to use for
the destruction of the nits is made of one
pint of vinegar to one quart of water.
A second application should be made i'm
about ten days. An affected animal should
be sailed frequently with a mixture con-
tanning one part of sulphur to FIVE parts
of common salt. Any of the coal tar pro-
ducts will also prove effective in destroy
ing nits Some OF the most common ones
on the market are Creolin, Chlorolin,
Chloro- Naptholem and Kenoleum. They
should be used in the proportion of one
part to fifty parts of water; If the case
is persistent use one part to thirty parts
of water. and repeat the application in
from five to eight days.

ALLEGED LUNATIC FOUND
GUILTY OF MURDER

RUTLAND. Vermont, April 1O.-A YER
dict of murder in the first degree was
returned today by the jury which has
been celebrating since yesterday after
noon in the case of Elroy Kent, charged
with killing Miss Della B. Congdon. at
East Wallingford, July "a, 1908. Kent
escaped from the state insane asylum. He
was captured at Pittsfield, Mass. sew
eraI months after the murder was COM
mitted.
Miss Congdon, a deaf mute, was beaten
to death after having been assaulted in
the home which she occupied alone. The
defense sought to show that Kent was
insane but the prosecution offered evil
dence that. while in jail for a petty crime,
Kent slammed insanity in order that he
might be transferred TO the Waterbury
asylum, from which he expected easily to
escape.

fairly well under shade, where the depth
to clay is at least p inches.
"The Portsmouth soils. owing to their
poor drainage, are not cultivated and I'M
der present conditions could scarcely be
used for the profitable production of any
crop. Where the sandy surface material
is over 20 inches deep the Portsmouth
types would be rather unproductive even
though artifcially drained. Rice and sug-
ar cane would probably do fairly well on
the heavier phases of the fine sandy loan
and sandy loan types. 1t is not likely
that the cultivation of any great part
of these soils will be attempted in the
near future on account of the abundance
of other well drained and productive soils
throughout the county.
THE Susquehanna fine sandy loan is
not an important agricultural soil because
of its unfavorable topographic position
and the unfavorable structure of the sub
soil. Some of the areas, however. make
moderate yields OF the general farm
crops.
1.-The Grady loan is not very extern
sive soil, and the present drainage con-
ditions are such as prohibit it's untiliza-
ton for agricultural purposes.
1.-The Chastain fine sandy loan or
stream bottom soil is not used at all for
agricultural purposes. 1t would re-
quire thorough artificial drainage and
perhaps some diking for it's reclamation.
Local esteem holds it as soil too unpro-
ductive to warrant any attention except
| for the growth of long-leaf pine.
What Meadow Comprises
Meadow comprises the undrained wet
stream and depressed areas and is used
only to very little extent for agricul-
tural purposes. although much of it could
be reclaimed so as to produce rice and
corn. Some of the broad better drained
areas in the southern part of the county
make excellent crops of corn.
1.-The methods of cultivation in general
are very well suited to the soils and con-
! ditions, especially so in the production OF
i sugar cane, tobacco, cotton, melons, and
peanuts. Some improvement in methods,
however, might well be made in respect
| to corn, oats, and truck crops. Full
| blowing should be more generally practic-
ed on the heavier types: more organic
matter returned to the soil by growing
vetch, cowpeas, and velvet beans; and
more attention given to crop rotation
and to improving the varieties of each
crop by proper seed selection. The home
| mixing of fertilizers should be more COM
monty practiced, and commercial fertil-
| izers, when used, should be applied gen.
orally in conjunction with vegetable ma
nures. AS grazing can be done the year
round on green forage, such as vetch.
rape, rye, oats, Bermuda grass, cowpeas.
sorghum, and velvet beans, it would seem
that the raising of more live stock would
be quite profitable; the mere fact OF thus
having a larger quantity of manure TO
apply to the cultivated fields should be
an important consideration in this con-
! nection.'

Of Lady and CrOwder which are identical

source OF seed influence the develop

The bush varieties ripen earliest, as a
rule. though in a long season they may

some varieties ripen in two months. 9TH

FOUR MEN SHOOT
NEGRO TO DEATH

SHELLMAN. Ca, April 10.-The find
ing of a portion of a white mans skull
in a pool of blood in negro cabin here
today and of the body of the negro own
er of the cabin, Alfred Iverson. behind
his bed, has completely mystified the
local police officials.
After investigation they learned that
a posse said to be headed by four white
men, entered VERSIONS cabin last night
and shot him.
The only theory developed by the po-
lice as to the evidence of a white mans
death is that Iverson defended his cabin
against the posse and shot one of the at
lacking party, whose body was afterward
carried away by his companions and con-
cealed.
No reason for the killing of the negro
has been learned.
The scene of the tragedy is in the
country about five miles from Shellman.
The negro Iverson who had been en-
ployed on a farm and had quit his en-
ployer, is the only reason given for the
crime.
According to the story of Iverson' s
wife the men went to the cabin about
midnight last night for the purpose OF
whipping her husband She was COM
PEELED to hold their horse, which was
attached to a buggy, while the posse
approached the mouse, ana that when
Iverson refused to open the door, il was
forced open and the fight ensued.
A single barrel shotgun with an empty
cartridge was found beside VERSIONS
body. and it is supposed that he used that
to shoot the white man before he himself
was shot and his skull fractured. His
wife says that after the fight was over
at the house the men, none of whom she
knew, put the dead man in the buggy
and drove away.
The identity of the white man has not
been discovered as yet.
sHELLMAN, Ga. April 10.-News has
Just reached this place OF the discovery late
tonight OF the body of Ross Manor a we'll
known youth, securely hidden i'm a wool
shed. The youths head Is half blown off.
and it is believed he was killed last night
at the home of the negro Alfred Iverson,
when seven men and boys In three buggies.
went to the negroes home to give him whip
ping
The men went to the house and demanded
the negro to come out. He opened fire, and
il is believed shot Manor, who carried

\nions.
