GUILTY OF MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE

Columbus, Miss, Feb. 12-Life imprisonment in the state peni- tentiary was pronounced as sen- tence on Charles R. Smith, wealthy planter and member of one of the best known families of this state, convicted of murder in connection with the killing of Eugene A. Laurent, a travelling salesman of Nashville, Tenn, late this afternoon by Judge John l.. Buckley. after a motion for a new trial had been overruled.
 we, the jury, find the de- fendent guilty as charged, but recommend him to the mercy of the court. '"
 This was the verdict of the jury empaneled to try the case. An earlier verdict was returned in which the jury stated that they found the defendent guilty, but were unable to agree as to punishment. Judge Buckley in- structed the jury as to the char acter of the verdict to be formu- lated. The jury after a few minutes consultation returned to the court room with the above verdict. Judge Buckley has not yet passed sentence on the de- fendent, but under the terms of the verdict will be compelled to send Smith to the penitentiary for life.
 Miss Estelle Smith, who has been a conspicious figure during the trial, sobbed piteously when she heard the verdict. Lawyers for the defense gave notice that they will file a motion for a new trial and this motion was argued before Judge Buckley this after noon.

GONE WHERE FOOD IS CHEAPER

Texarkana, Feb. 12. Mir. and Mrs. William Dill with their 22 children, passed through Tex arkana yesterday afternoon en route from St Louis to Brown wood, Texas. The oldest child is 20. The father is a painter and paper hanger, but was un- able to get work and could not buy food and fuel for his nn- usually large family. A sub- scription was taken in St. Louis to pay his expenses to South Texas, where it will not cost much for fuel.
 He stated that he knew nothing about farming but thought that he could learn.

hunting relatives or friends. Many of the dead are from the first families of the state, the affair at the theater being a social event of considerable inn portance, and calling out the wealthiest and oldest families for miles around. In some in- stances entire families were wiped out of existence.
 The municipal authorities to- day caused large trenches to be dug, and into these the remains of the dead were laid. Accord ing to the telegrams received from there, recognition of any of the dead has been an impossibility owing to the fact that the bodies were burned in most cases to a crisp. so hot was the fire.
 Telegrams sent to the Ameri- can consul at Acapulco by the Associated Press asking for the names of the American dead have as yet not been replied to.
 Acapulco, on the west coast of the state of Guerrero, is one ot the three important ports of the Pacific coast of Mexico.
 Nearly all of the steamer lines make it a port of call, and the harbor is accounted the best in Mexico.

 At the home of the brides parents in Sherman Texas on last Wednesday February the 10th. J. H. Stainton of this city was married to Miss Louis Huggins. Jay as he is familiarly called by all who knew him is the youngest son of MT. and Mrs. Homer Stainton and is a young man with many good traits of character and is possessed with the ability to make his mark in the world. His wife, is lovable and charming young lady and will grace the home in which she shall reign as queen. This young couple was sweethearts in childhood and that simple child love has ever held them in fond embrace until it eliminated in the happy climax above stated. They will make their home in St. Louis where Jay has a splendid position with an electrical company. Below we give what the Sherman paper had to say about The pretty home wedding:
 "One of the prettiest weddings of the season took place We'd nesday evening at the home of the brides parents, Mir. and Mrs. wv. A. Huggins. when their daughter, Miss Louis, was united in marriage with Mir J.H. Stainton Rev. B. Wrenn Webb officiating. The wedding was quite unexpect- ed even to the parents of the bride; in fact, was a surprise to all, though in fact, they had been sweethards since childhood. Only relatives and alfew.special friends were present.
 The bride and groom left at r: B Thursday morning for Prescott Ark, to spend a few days with the groom's parents, and will go from there to St., Louis, their future home.
 Miss Huggins has been reared principally in Sherman and has won many warm and true friends. She is a daughter of MT. and Mrs. w. A. Huggins, who are we'll known in this city, having resided here a great many years. The groom was reared at Pres

MORE COMPANIES TO MINE DIAMONDS

Murfreesboro, Feb. 12. It IS reported here that at least two. and possibly more, new compa- nies are to be formed in the near future to buy diamond mines in this vicinity. There are now four mammoth companies in the field mad they are pushing opera tions as fast as practicable and getting many diamonds daily. There are representatives of two proposed companies en route here now from Mexico and from Cali fornia, each representing large capital, it is said. The four companies now in the field are: The Arkansas Diamond Mining Company of Little Rock, the original company capitalized at $1, 100000; the Ozark Diamond Mines Corporation, capitalized at $I, 50O,OOO; the American Dia- mond Mining Company, organlz- ed January 26, capitalized at Sl, 900, GOO. Chicago capitalists are operating another diamond mine. The Arkansas diamonds, experts say, are of better luster that those of South Africa.

establish an chronological labo- ratory somewhere in the delta of Mississippi or Louisiana It is the opinion of the chief of that bureau that the climatic condit- ions in those sections being so different from any under which the boil weevel has heretofore existed may develop new life and habits and that close study of these may be helpful in the efforts now being made to discover some means for lis de- struction.
 Dr. Howard, chief of the bureau, believes he has already discovered a parasite which will work havoc among the weevel, and as they continue there pro- gress across the cotton states it is his opinion that the new para sites will continue to attack them.
 It is, therefore, necessary to be watchful in order to discover these exterminating parasites when they appear.
 It is extended to locate the new laboratory at Vidalia, La., and after the weevil has overrun l the Mississippi delta it will be moved to Greenville, Miss.

LINCOLN H0NORED
 BY A T|MEP|ECE
Oklahoma Legislature Awe Struck When They See Clock Stopped at Moment of Lincoln's Birth.

Guthrie, Okla., Feb. 12.-One hundred and nine members of the lower house of the legislature are willing to make affidavit that the spirit of Abraham Lincoln rebuked that body by stopping the house clock at exactly Il o'clock today while the house was busily working with legisla- tive matters, notwithstanding Gov. Haskell's proclamation des- ignating this, the one hundredth anniversary of Lincoln's birth, a legal holiday. Several days ago the legislature adopted reso- lutions to adjourn over today. but late yesterday these resolutions were reconsidered and defeated.
 Today the members went to work as usnal. It was just ff- teen minutes until noon when representative 'Grist Mill" Jones, Republican, of Oklahoma City, floor leader of the minority got recognition of Speaker Will son and said:
 'I consider a most remarkable incident has ust occurred. One hundred years ago today there was born man whom 1 Iconsider was the greatest ever born, and I call the attention of the mem- bers to the fact that the house clock stopped at II o'clock, the minute President Lincoln was born one hundred years ago. In thus stopping work, the clock has shown greater reverence for that man than does this body in persisting working on his cen tenary."
 Instantly there was alarm on the faces of every member. Awe struck, and seemingly powerless to move, the members stared at the clock. realizing slowly the truth of Jones' words. Then Jones continued:
 ''I move the house adjourn un- til 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, out of respect to the memory of Abraham Lincoln. /"
 Instantly Representative Bert Tillotson of Nowata, the Demo- cratic floor leader, seconded the motion. And within 10 minutes after Jones got recognatiOn from Speaker Wilson there was not a person left in the legislative hall.
 Jones later explained that Lincoln was born in Kentucky at 10 o'clock, corresponding to II o'clock here.
 An investigation of the clock was made by Manager Orr of the Western Union telegraph station here, the clock being of that company's local circuit. He found it securely locked, and was unable to start it. Both hands pointed exactly to II o'clock. Manager Orr explained that the Senate clock on the same circuit was still running, sufficient evil dence that the circuit had not been tempered with. Learning what had happened in the house, the senators also adjourned at noon until tomorrow. Many of them attended the Lincoln day banquet tonight at Oklahoma City.

According to the Chinese method of
criminal prosecution, man is respon-
sible for the crime he may have COM
mitted personally. but II he chooses to
escape justice by running away from
the place where the deed was commit
ted, then the remaining members Of
his immediate family are held and
punished in lieu of the real culprit
This may seem a strange way of at
tracing the real criminal back to the
scene of his crime. but 1t appeals to
the religious side of the mans super
stitious nature. According to their
religion, the man who forsakes his par
ents when in peril will find his soul
sailing around through hades without
chart or compass for all eternity. In
view of this, prompt compliance with
the law Is very prompt. for John Chi
naman does not care to take the des.
perate chance.

How the Tourist Abroad often
Makes Himself Objectionable.
All of US who travel, whether we
mean to or not, will furnish forth
Impressions of Americans for foreign
ers, and the opinions of Frenchmen
and Germans and Italians and Britons
concerning US as a nation will be
markedly modified because OF our go
ing hither and thither in Europe, says
Charles Battell LOOMS in Smiths.
Some of US, with perfectly good in
tentions, will go abroad with that
old-fashioned spirit of spread-eagleism
that dies so hardin our breasts.
We shall feel more and more patriotic
the farther away from home we find
ourselves, and with a laudable desire
to let benighted foreigners-to some
of US all foreigners are benighted-see
what a glorious country we hail from;
we shall wave American flags in their
faces, and let them know at all times
and in all places how very superior
an American is to every other speci-
men of humanity.
I'VE shall not be the only country
to send forth patriotic zealots. There
will be Germans bent on proving that
II it we're not for Germany there would
be no such thing as civilization upon
the earth, and there will be English
men making themselves Just as obnox-
ious to the natives as we can possibly
make ourselves. The French do not
travel as much, and they do not feel
1t necessary to blazon forth a patent
fact French courtesy, also, prevents
Frenchman from telling you that
you are inferior to him, however much

Recent experiments on the Ontario
Experiment Farm show that the yeast
like micro-organism Of bitter torula Is
the cause of much bitter milk and
cheese. Factories in that section have
complained of the bitterness of the
milk, and as consequence the expert
ment station has conducted extensive
investigations as to the cause. Gull
lures of the torula were added to milk
and cheese that had been sterilized,
and in each case a bitter taste was

drawn into sterilized dishes, but was
found regularly in mixed milk. In the
solutions used for can washes, and
also on the leaves OF trees under
which the cans were habitually kept.
The remedies are to cool the milk
promptly and to guard 1t from infec-
ton of nay kind. All cans and other
utensils should be carefully washed
and sterilized by heat. The Connecti-
cut experiment station discovered sew
eral years ago that a species OF bac-
terra was the cause Of bitter milk and
cream. This can be rendered harm

CROP A RECORD BREAKER.
Prospects in Pacific Northwest Never
Better Than Now.

Prospects in Pacific Northwest Never
Better Than Now.
According to information received
during the past week the Pacific
Northwest will produce almost four
times as many cars of potatoes as a
year ago.
This increase is startling, even
though the comparison with the pro-
duction of year ago is not exactly a
correct showing, for the 1908 crop was
just about half of what was produced
the previous season.
During the present season the acre
age of potatoes in the Pacific North
west, but more especially in Oregon,
shows the greatest increase for one
year ever noted here. While a large
per cent of this increase was in the
Willamette valley, most of the addi-
tional acreage was planted in Eastern
Oregon.
Eastern Washington and Idaho like
wise have very heavy potato acreage
increase and the production there will
be much greater than during any pre-
vious year. Western Washington had
greater acreage of potatoes than a
year ago, but the difference in favor of
this season is not great so far as the
additional planting is concerned.
Potato crop prospects could scarcely
be improved over what they are in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho this
season, and the same is stated to be
the case in California. In Eastern
Oregon, where some of the poorest
showings were made in grain produc-
tion this season, the crop of potatoes
never looked better.
In the Willamette valley, potatoes
will show better quality this year than
ever before and the sizes will be just
that which gained for this section the
reputation Of growing the very best
potatoes in the entire United States.
In seasons previous to the present
one, the potato acreage and production
of Eastern Oregon, Washington anc
Idaho had little, if anything, to dc
with prices at Portland or San Fran.
cisco, but this season each of these
sections will be strong factor in the
market and unless all signs fail prices
will reach lower figure than for some
seasons.
Potato prices have been so higf
along the Pacific coast in recent year,
that the trade can scarcely come t.
think that lower prices will again b.
in effect With such hesvy increas,
in acreage and a production so mucl
greater per acre than normal, the sup
plies will be fully as great as any de
mand would justify, and that being
the case, present out of line values will
go out of effect.
