Around the wod Tuesday night auspices the Cemetery Association

then presented to the jury an outline of what the defense would show.
 He first impressed upon them the importance of the position they have been called upon to till. No man, no court, no gov ernor, no president, no king, holds the power that is placed in the hands of these twelve men the life or death of | fellow man. This power they will be called upon to exercise i'll this case.
 He drew contrast beween Holt and Murray, his victim.
 Holt k 9 years of age, has little education, and was reared OH farm near Lincoln. Murray was about 30 years of age, and weighed about loo pounds. He said that Holt and Murray got in- to the quarrel about the water melons. That Murray accused Holt of the theft, which Holt at first denied and afterwards ad- mitted. He said that Murray called Holt q so b., and started to attack him with a rock that was large enough to brain him.
 Holt afterwards saw Murray at Lincoln and accosted him as Mr. Murray. Murray again re- peated the epithet and told Holt lie would have to leave the country As to the killing, he did not deny II then or now. but does enter plea of not guilty to the indictment.
 ''It was question ot which got the other hrst, he said, and Holt did 1t. He did it in the broad open day light of Gods sunshine and not from ambush.
 He said that Murray had threatened to kill Holt and on the day of the killing they met alone in the road.
 Murray again repeated the epithet which waS the cause of Holt's diseomfortufe, and as lie did so placed his hand to his left hip where he carried pair of mule shears. As he dld so Holt fired his gun, the load striking the jaw and neck on the left side. \ few days afterwards Holt sur rendered to the officers.
 The Judge indicated that in- sanity would be | secondary con- sideration on the part of the de fense and will figure largely in the trial.
 He said that the evidence was conclusive, that there is a taint of insanity OH both sides of the defendants house.
 The defendant is the fifth Sf eleven children. His mothers father became insane and coti,' mitted suicide shortly before his birth. Two sisters and one brother of his mother lost their minds. Four cousins of tAe. father, side lost their minds, and there are peeullarities now existing both i'll the mother and son,
 The first witness was called at II o'clock. and one of the most important cases and what will prove one of the most strenuous legal battles ever waged in this county is well under way. The State is represented by D. B. HorSley, H. l.. Pearson and Walker X Walker. The defense by Hurst X Tlllnan assisted by Judge Tillman. = Fayetteville

MORALS OF THE MINISTER.
(From the New York Age.)


Allowing for all the black mail OF
scandalmongers, we now feel 1T neces-
sary to call the attention Of our peo-
pie to the morals Of the Negro minis
ter. In no mincing words, let us call
q halt. Let us urge upon you the ne
cessity of more rigid exactions upon
your pastor. The stencil Of the
charges of sexual corruption, drunken
ness and dishonesty, now rising in ev-
cry quarter, is too. nauseating for the
stomach of decent men and women. 1t
is driving enlightened and upright
Negroes into Godlessness and church
Iessness and white congregations. II
is furnishing high example and en-
Gouragement for corruption to the I'M
thinking masses. 1t is driving Negro
churches into disastrous divisions and
even disgraceful court fights. 1t is TO
-menting the spirit of division and dis
union In the race. 1t is making OF
the high calling of the preacher Of
righteousness a cloak Of corruption
and hollow mockery. In short the
immortality Of a large part of the
Negro ministers is putting in dire
peril the progress of the Negro race.
First Of all, every Negro minister
should be married. He will thus
avoid the ever-ready blackmailer and
the more aggressive tempter That
young divine who feels he must in
definitely postpone matrimony would
do the manly thing if he should fol-
!, low the example of our brilliant New
England friend, who has gone into
b business awaiting the day of sufficient
wealth to get married and enter his
4 profession. But far too many of our
I. pTsachers are neither saints nor stu
q dents. They have not been called
81 by. those high qualities of soul to the
] service OF mankind after the example
j OfFfhe lowIy Nazarene Nor are they
deyoted to the study Of the Divine
4 Wood. They are consecratcd to the
I. staple life-but to the simple life Of
self Indulgence
An conclusion, let us say, no man
4 however eloquent and sanctimonious
"a loose and lustfu1, should be permit
z ted TO desecrate the sacred position OF
y ~ preacher. No. man, however, bril-
liant, II O. drunkard, should be toler
I8afed In q pulpit No man, however
Y earewd and successful in rally, i,
y ~ thief, should be supported for one
lsIainnte by sensible people. 1t wer,

Leonard Jeter, 'cellisr, ably sustained
his reputation of Choppin's "Nottur-
no, OPP. 9, No. g." and J. Phi. Ra-
meau's "Tambourin, with THE
Last Rose Of Summer" as an Encore
number. Mr.. Jeter also appeared
with Miss Mary L. Europe, pianist,
and Mr.. Walter H. r. Jeter, violinist,
and the trio rendered In exquisite
fashion Mendelssohn's "Gazonetta
op. -" and Dvorak's 'Slavische Tan
Ze." The work of the chorus, under
the painstaking direction of Prof.
John T. Layton, could not have been
improved upon. Two choral ballads,
composed Of especially for and dedi-
Gated to the S. Coleridge-Taylor Cho-
raj Society by the great Anglo-Afri-
can musician, were impressively rem
dered by the 100 voices, bringing out
the full effect of Prof. Layton's fine
ness as an instructor and leader.
"The Haunted Stream" (Phelps) by
the male chorus was one Of the best
numbers Of the evening and the fe-
male chorus Song at Sunrise (Man-
|ney) Is deserving of commendation.
Other selections by the full organi-
9ation, which evoked much praise,
were "The Phantom Chorus" from
Bellini's '1a Sonnambula," Come
Away" composed for the Worcester
Musical Festival by Horatio Parker,
and closing with Handel's climax of
musical inspiration the "Hallelujah
Chorus" from "The Messiah" After

Secrecy Maintained.
| The men who are talking up the
proposition among themselves arr
the same ones who made an unsuc-
cessful attempt about two years ago
to secure eastern capital for just
such venture. At that time the
route was picked out, and the local
people had about landed a big New
York firm when the panic struck tn.
market and one of the eastern fail
ures so crippled the firm that it had
to give up the proposition. When
the untimely failure came the east.
ern firm had already appropriated
money to be used in the formation o.
a company to make preliminary sur.
veys and buy up rights Of way.
I The whole matter was kept in the
utmost secrecy at that time, as tho
men back OF it feared that othe,
railroads might take too much inter

Wheeling. AS estimated by the back
ers of the proposition the line woult
be 1877 miles in length, just sever
miles longer than the proposed shor
line from Uniontown to Wheeling

KANAWHA MEDICAL
SOCIETY DISCUSSES
MANY QUESTIONS

The Kanawha Medical Society met
at the assembly rooms of the Kama
wha Hotel last night, with twenty
physicians present, and about forty
absent.
The program consisted of clinical
reports as follows:
"Complete Restoration Of the Tib-
Ia after Removal" by DR.. H. L. Rob-
ertSon.
Removal of Orbital Tumor," fol-
lowed by Meningitis and Death" by
DR.. p. A. Haley.
"Cerebro Spinal Meningitis by
DR.. w. A. Mcmillan.
DR.. Robertson had the lad present.
from whose leg the whole tibia bone
had been removed. The periostial
covering of the old bone had been
left and new bone grew within it.
The lad was apparently as we'll as it
1t had never occurred.
The case presented by DR.. Haley
went to show that in spite Of the
best efforts Of the medical profess
sion, cases will not get well.
Most Of the physicians present had
had cases of cerebro-spinal meningi-
tbs, and there was a general discus
sion of this subject. The new treat
ment by puncture of the spinal col
umn and letting out of the spinal
fluid and then injecting a curative
serum in it's place, is still on trial,
with prospects very favorable for
good results along that line.
A pleasant interchange of various
opinions and experiences was eniov-
ed by all present.

The car contained 22 head and the light est span weighed 2,35O pounds, the heaviest tipping the scales at 2,760 Twentytwo hundred is a good weight for a pair of long cared breed, but these mules went so far ahead of the average, Benton county now feels proud of her record as a great mule producing district
