BUSY WEEK FOR
THE FARMERS
Nearly All Ground For Spring Crops
BrOken-SOwing is to Be-
gin Soon.

During the last week the farmers
have spent the busiest week of the
year so far, and at present nearly all
of the ground to be broken for the
spring crops has been plowed, and the
sowing hemp land oats will begin
shortly. The corn ground will not be
worked down until the middle of April
and as said by one of our far
mers, when the dogwood blossoms the
farmers will have their work so well
in hand that they will have time to go
a-fishing.
The weather has been especially
good on wheat, the sunshine being
just what it needs. If the weather
had been wet the wheat would have
almost jumped up, and the stalks
would have not stooled as they have
during the warm spell.
Banner Year Promised.
The prospects are that this will be
IA banner year, and the farmers will
have a chance to make up for the time
and money lost last year through the
drOuth. The peach tree buds are be-
ginning to swell, and in another week
the air will be laden with their per-
fume, giving the people a thought of
the pink-cheeked fruit to be picked
during the summer months. As a us
ual thing the peach trees blossom at
this time of the year, but for some
.unaccountable reason they will not
blossom for another week.
The only fruit crop not promising
Is the strawberry, which was hurt by
drought last fall. The present pros
poets are that he strawberry, the
earliest of all fruit, will be scarce
this year. During the dry weather
last summer it was impossible for the
old plant to start a new one which
would bear fruit the coming year.
Dotted With Canvass.
The country is dotted here and
there with white stretches of canvas
covering the tobacco beds, and from
the number of them the coming crop
will excel all previous records of the
BLU Grass.
Much of the grass land has been
broken and it is said that grazing for
stock this summer will be scarce.
The average for the corn crop will
be above the average this year, and
If good season prevails, the sale of
the product next fall will add muck
to the income of the farmer.

SIXTY THREE SUITS FILED
SINCE LAST TERM OF COURT
Mrs. Daily Wants $4,000 From Louisville And Nashville Railroad, Alleges
She White Woman And Was Compelled To Ride In COaed Coach

About sixty three suits have been
filed in the Clark Circuit Court since
the last term. The April term be-
gins the fifth. Following are some of
the cases which will come up during
the session.
Mrs. Daily is suing the l.. & n.
Railroad, alleging that she purchased
ticket at Elkin to come to Winches-
ter, and that she is a white woman
and that he conductor In charge of
said train wrOngfully and unlawful
ly compelled her to enter and ride in
the coach set apart for colored peO-
pie. She says she suffered great hui
initiation and insults and asks dam
ages in the sum Of $4,000.
Against Street Car Company.
Bolton Owens in his suit against
the Central Kentucky Traction Com
pany, alleges that a horse which he
was driving in a funeral procession
ON December 9th last, became fright
ened at a street car on Main street
and owing to the negligence of the
motorman, the horse ran off, throwing
him out of the surrey, and seriously
injuring his right hand and disabling
him from using it for there months
and asks damages for $1,000.
A Tobacco Deal.
DIR. w. Miller has filed suit against
Willis Golden stating that he and
Golden had entered into a contract
to false crop of tobacco on his place
on -Four Mile pike but that defendant
failed to do so and that he was not
aware of the fact until it was too late
to plant his beds. That he had to
purchase the plants thigh price, and
that he did not get time until in July,
too late to raise a good crop. He
says that he sold the crop for 5000
and had Golden raised it, it would
have brought nearly $4,000. He sues
for the difference of his part in the
crop at which it was sold and what
he would actually have received and
also damages to his place which in all
amounts to $1,120.
Mrs. Susan G. Anderson on the
last day filed suit against 7. Nj.
Hampton to collect rent she alleges is
due her. The total amount of the
suit is $4.591.64.
A Unique Petition.
George Grey, colored man, has
written a petition and filed ii as his
own attorney. The suit is against K.
r. Perry. Many lawyers have read
it, but have been unable to figure out
just what Gray is driving at. 1t seems
that Gray went into a Building Asso-
citation in St Paul, Minnesota, and
had borrowed some money and that
the association sued him. In some
way r. r. Perry went his bond. 1t
appears from the petition that he is
suing Mr.. Perry for going on his
bond.

KILLS HIMSELF IN FAR NORTH
DIR. PEARSON, TUBERCULOSIS
EXPERT, A SUICIDE.
Suffering From Insomnia, He Wades
Into Newfoundland Lake and
Shoots Himself.

BIRCHY COVE Newfoundland. Sep
TENDER 2S.-Dr. Leonard Pearson Of Phil
adelphia, one of the best known investi-
gators and writer's on tuberculosis in the
world. committed suicide yesterday at

west coast of this island.
He had helped to cure thousands of the
white plague, yet he killed himself be-
cause he could not be cured of nom
fatal ailment-insomnia.
DR.. Pearson went to Spruce Brook sew
eral weeks ago. in the hope that the wild
scenery. the absence of civilization and
the perfect quiet would enable him to re-
cover and sleep. But even there he could
not rest. He suffered from decisions, and
sat for hours each day brooding gloomily.
He left the breakfast table yesterday
morning, without tasting his meal, anC
with no word to the other guests went to
lake nearby, into which he waded until
he was waist-deep. Then, while two per-
sons watched him from the hotel pia zza
he drew a revolver and shot himself
through the head.
Early last June DR.. Pearson and his
mother, Mrs. Lucy Pearson, seventy three
years old, were found unconscious in
their home in Philadelphia, with several
gas-tets turned on in the room. DR.. Pear
son was kneeling beside the bed and
clasp!ng his mothers hand
This incident was explained away as an
accident, although the police felt sure
that the doctor had attempted suicide.
The doctor left the city soon afterward
and placed himself under the care of ex-
perts in England, who sent him to New
foundland.
DR.. Pearson was about forty-five years
old. For years he had been state veteri-
marian of Pennsylvania and was dean OF
the veterinary department of the Univer-
sity OF Pennsylvania Socially as we'll as

terry is completely solved. We have the
dence enough to convict him. We are
going to keep what evidence We have

Rixzo Collapses.
Rizzo was arraigned before Justice
OConnor in city court on the charge OF
killing Theresa Procopio. He COLLAPSED
when the judge told him Of the charge
against him. Two policemen had to lift
him up to the judicial bench and hold

He looked helplessly about the room
when the judge had finished the accu-
sation against him.
Then the Judge suggested to Rizzo to
enter formal plea OF not guilty to the
charge, waive examination and allow his
case to go to the grand jury.
The grand jury will convene in Utica
Monday, October 4, and the regular Oc-
tober term of the supreme court will open

OF ALIEN Law
CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK RE-
GARDING COMPLAINTS.
Explanation Of Provisions Governing
Admission to This Country.
Rule Against Paupers.

Assistant Secretary McHarg and Assist
ant Commissioner General of Immigra-
ton Larned have returned from the con-
ference held at Ellis Island, N. Y, yester-
day, with representatives of newspapers
country.
Mr.. McHarg said the editors of those
newspapers had complained of the Sc
verify of the administration Of the immi-
grafton act. especially against those sus-
pected of being likely to become pub
lie charge, but the conference served to
dispel the belief and to establish that
the Department of Commerce and Labor
was dealing more leniently with the class
Of aliens referred to than even the news
paper men asked.
It was explained that the real reason
for complaint was the fact that the
steamship companies were feeling the eff
an alien who came to this country on a
prepaid ticket must show that he is not
likely to become public charge, and
they were seeking through the newspaper
men to have the ruling modified.
Unable to Buy Tickets.
Many aliens come to this country. it is
declared. upon tickets furnished them by
friends and relatives already here Some
of them have no resources at all with
which to begin life in the new world, and
soon are applicants for charity. In
stances are known, 1t is said. where men
who were unable to pay for tickets to
bring their relatives and friends from
abroad to this country. give their notes
for the purchase money and agree to pay
almost double the cash price of the
steamship ticket. This impovershes the
alien here, and renders it almost certain
that those he sends for will become a
public charge soon after their arrival. I'M
less they have money enough to see them
through which is seldom the case.
