hehfY jackson, Who Had Also Twice
Been Convicted of Murder, Gets
Of With Sentence of 20 Years.
The gallows again looms up be-
fore Henry Bell, and unless some
tnlng intervenes between now and
New Years eve he will pass out of
existence with the old year.
Bell was convicted last week for
the second time of killing Will jack
son, and for the second time the
death sentence was passes upon him,
1t being decreed by the court that
he die on the gallows on Decem Der
30th.
At the time of his former convic-
ton he was sentenced to be hanged
on July End, but motion by his at
torneys for a new trial was granted
by Judge Worrill. No motion has
been made for another trial since the
last conviction, and the attorneys say
that so far as they now know no fur

the condemned man.
Saved After Two Convictions.
Henry Jackson, who had twice be-
fore been convicted of numbering
Henry Shines, another negro, but
each time was granted a new trial
by the supreme court, finally gets off
with a sentence of twenty years
in the penitentiary. BY agreement
he was permitted to enter a plea of
guilty to manslaughter, and sentence
as above stated was imposed upon
him. This, however, practically
! means the remainder of his lifetime
in penal servitude, as he is over fifty
years of age.
Andrew Gay, who cut w. R. John
sons throat, inflicting a wound from
which he died, while they were re-
turning home one night recently was
indicted by the grand jury for muir
der. At the trial, however, the jury
returned a verdict of voluntary man
slaughter, and Gay was sentenced to
ten years in the penitentiary.
A mistrial resulted in the case of
Sell Boyd, negro who shot and
killed his wife recently on the farm
of Lewis Bros. near Chickasaw-

This year the volume is nearly twice
as big as usual, there being 1920
pages in the single volume embracing
the Acts and other stuff which gen.

Every year the books seem to get
bigger, which means that at each ses-

THANKSGIVING DAY
Canada's Day of Thanks Month Ear
 Her Than in the United States.

For some reason better known to the Canadians themselves than to the people on this side of the line, our Canadian cousins celebrated their Thanksgiving a month or more earlier than we do. It may be that the Cana dian turkey had become impatient, and sounded a note of warning, or it may be that the frost on the pumpkin de clared itself. But whatever the reason, their Thanksgiving day is past. It may have been that the reasons for giving thanks so much earlier than we do were pushing themselves so hard and so fast that the Canadians were ashamed ts postpone the event. They have had reasons, and good ones, too for giving thanks. Their great broad areas of prairie land have yielded ia abundance, and here, by the way, it is not uninteresting to the friends of the millions of Americans who have made their home in Canada during the past few years to know that they have participated most generously in the cutting of the melon" Probably the western portion of Canada, comprising the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche- wan and Alberta, have the greatest reason of any of the provinces to ex- press in the most enthusiastic manner their gratitude. The results in the line of production give ample reason tor devout thanksgiving to Providence. This year has surpassed all others in SC far as the total increase in the coun- try's wealth is concerned. There is no question that Providence was espe- cially generous. The weather condi- tons were perfect, and during the ripening and harvesting period, there was nothing to interfere. And now it was well it was so. for with demand for labor that could not be supplied, there was the greatest danger, but with suitable weather the garnering of the grain has been successfully accom- piished There have been low gen eral averages, but these are account ed for by the fact that farmers were indifferent, relying altogether upon what good soil would do There will be no more low averages though, for this year has shown what good. careful farming will do It will pro- duce 130 million bushels of wheat from seven million acres, and it will pro- duce splendid lot of oats, yielding anywhere from 50 to 100 bushels per acre. This on land that has cost but from s10 to $15 per acre-many farm CTS have realized sufficient from this years crop to pay the entire cost of their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
 ..The whole population of the West rejoices in the bounty of Providence. and sends out message of gratitude and appreciation of the favors which have been bestowed on the country The cheerfulness which has abounded with industry during the past six months has not obliterated the concep- tion of the source from which the blessings have flown, and the good feeling is combined with a spirit of thankfulness for the privilege of living in so fruitful land. The misfortunes of the past are practically forgotten. because there is great cause to con- template with satisfaction the com forts of the present. Thanksgiving should be season of unusual en- thusiasm."

vidually with any degree of accuracy. Compara- lively few of the old band of mionaires have failed to add materially to their fortunes since the panic. There are some, it is true, who were more less disabled in those days and the period that predeced them who have not succeeded in win. ming back their lost money and prestige; some who were in the tllfated trust companies, others of the insurance crowd, and on But those who held on and able to weather the storms have been lifted up and now are richer than ever. Not only that, but large number of new groups of great financial strength has been developed. There is the Hawley group. for instance, which has made millions and millions in the rise in val ues of railway shares. Edwin Hawley, the head of this coterie, was not big Wall street figure until within the last year but of late he has added immeasurably to his wealth and to his pow CT a transportation king.
 Among those of his friends who have climbed into the chariot of the plutocrats is Frank A. van derlip, the president of the National City bank. He is reputed to have made more than million out of Chesapeake Ohio and Union Pacific When he was assistant secretary of the treasury a few years ago Vanderlip a man of very moderate means and lived in modest little flat in Washington. After he came to New York his wealth increased somewhat, but only since the first of this year has he entered the millionaire class
 Another of the Hawley group who is one of the new crop of mutimillonaires is banker named Scott who piled up small fortune, dollar by dol lar, ID RlcnmOnQ, Va, ana WHO mas lHCIedSeu IL many fold of late in Wall street. Still another of the group Is Robert Fleming. He was not poor when the rise in stocks began but he is said to be very rich now. Then there is new crop of Union Pacific millionaires, Southern Pacific milionaires, Wabash, Rock Island and many other groups of new millionaires who have become wealthy by the tremendous upturn of the shares they interested in. Some of these men millionares before the beginning of this year; these have moved up to the multi millionaire class
 There are quite many who have won for tunes in the field of industrial stocks, especially in United States Steel common. One of these-more than millionaire when he began buying Steel is Frank A. Munsey, the publisher He is said to have started his Steel purchases two years ago, when the stock was around p, and to have accu- mulated a total of 100000 shares at very low prices. His winnings estimated at more than $5,000000.
 These instances, taken at random. give an indi- cation of the thousands of fortunes that have

 Almost every day there have been rumors ny ine ahout as to what Patten was doing in cotton But curousy enough there has been never Word said about the real bull leader in the cotton mar ket the man who has been the biggest speculaIor in this staple and who recently has jumped into the multi-milonaire class, Eugene G. Scales of Dallas Tex. Scales is the most towering bull, probably that the cotton market ever mas known. Patten is a piker beside him. Even the celebrated MT Sully in his palmiest days never operated on such huge basis as Scales has been in the last eight months.
 This and mighty malti-millionaire in the cot ton market has steadfastly kept himself in the background. He is no amateur speculator how ever for five years ago he was in one of the Sully campaigns and retired from the fight with several large dents in his financial armor. But now he has back all his losses and a lot more
 Some among the many others who know cotton" and have won big fortunes through its rise in price are Fergus Reid of Norfolk Va; Morris H. Roth schild of Woodville Miss; William P. Brown of New Orleans and Louis s. Berg of Mississippi. Berg had charge of the Chalmette terminals at New Orleans not long ago and was hard-working railorad man. little later he pieced together a lot of small Mississippi railroads and combined them into an effective and profitable system. Then, with modest fortune, he came to New York, and since then has been making money out of cotton.

At any rate, the names of most of these millionaires probably will be read for the first time in print in the next years books of social registry, which form the nearest approach to the directory of the peerage that the plutoaracy of America knows.
