FIRST SUFFRAGE STAMP
WAS BOUGHT BY TAFT

NEW YORK, April 13.-It develops that
President Taft was the first one to pur-
chase a suffrage stamp, an issue of which
has just been gotten out by the Co
operative Equal Suffrage league, recently
organized here.
While no canvassers are allowed ia
the white house. Mrs. Harold Dudley
Greeley and Mrs. Rheta Childe Dorr,
president and vice president respectively
of the league, succeeded in obtaining an
interview with Mr.. Taft and received
one cent for the first blue stamp placed
in circulation. 1t is said that Mr.. Taft
insisted on paying his penny although
the suffragettes wanted him to accept
the first stamp free.
The suffrage stamps are to be placed
on sale in every state to raise money
for the cause. They are similar to the
Red Cross stamps in circulation during
the winter. While they cannot be used
otransmit mail, it is customary to at
tach them to a letter as form of greet
ing.
The sale to Mr. Taft was effected on
Saturday and on the same day the
stamps were presented to Senator La
Toilette and Justice Brewer, of the SUI
preme court.

ONE DEAD: ONE DYING
RESULT OF FIGHT

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, April 14-Theo-
dcre Rose and Dick Thomas were tn,
principals in a bloody tragedy enacted
near Mentor, a small station on the
Louisville and Nashville meagre details
OF which have been received here. Rose
was killed and Thomas lies at the point
of death.
1t is stated that the two men were gam
bling when a dispute arose and pistols
were pulled. Rose was shot four times
and Thomas in three places.
A coincidence of the tragedy is that
each man had previously killed a man.
Rose killed Harvey Birchfield some II
years ago and escaped arrest for more
tlan eight years, although once during
that period he was arrested but rescued
by friends who took him away from off,
GERS by force. When tried for murder
he was acquitted as the principal wit
ness against him could not be found.
Thomas killed a man six years ago near
Townsend, but was acquitted on the
ground that he was shooting at another
party, and that the bullet accidentally
passed through the side of a cabin and
killed an innocent party.

coat sleeves high above his wrists, he
spat vehemently over his shoulder, gath

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT.
MAKING HAY FROM COWPEAS-

over these stobs The stack should be
made of good circumference and the
vines piled on as high as can be done
with a fork, the three stobs holding the
vines off the ground and allowing the
air to circulate up through the green
mass and cure it out remarkably soon and
in perfect condition. The use Of the three
stobs as suggested is the easiest and most
convenient method Of curing pea vines
with which the writer is acquainted. 1t
is simpler by far than the use of a long
stick with cross arms, as stobs are easier
to make, cost less and can be handled
much more expeditiously. When the
weather is wet, hay caps should be pro-
vided. These are sheets OF heavy can
vass, similar to that used for tents, about
four to six feet square with a heavy eye
let in each corner. Pass a short piece of

er the water will be easily shed and the
hay ured out in almost perfect condition.
II there is no evidence of moisture after
twisting a bunch of the hay vigorously
I'm the hand. IL is ready to place in the
leisure of the owner.
The difficulty Of curing cowpea hay is
due to the large amount of water ii con-
tains 1t is not uncommon for the green
weight Of the pea crop to range between
5000 and 5000 pounds per acre, and when
yielding but 25 to SIS tons Of hay. Thus,
IL is apparent that often more than 1900
pounds of water must be driven off in the
process Of curing into hay, which requires
the evaporation of 25 to tons Of water
for every ton of cured hay.
The cost Of making pea hay is Influenced
by many conditions. For instance, the
soil. the climate. the variety used, and
the date Of seeding. Where the land is
pIowed and the cost of the fertilizer used
charged up to the first crop, the hay will
vary in cost from $500 to $500 per ton.
The following example shows the cost OF
producing a ton of pea hay under the con-
ditions just cited when the yield was two
tons per acre. The higher the yield the
less the cost per ton. In preparing the
following statement, $3.50 per day has
been allowed for the use of a man, team
and implement, which is a higher rate OF
remuneration than prevails on the aver

TURPENTINE TRUST CASE
ARGUED BY COUNSEL

SAVANNAH, Ga, April 4-The second
day of the hearing of arguments on de-
murrer in the celebrated turpentfne trust
case now being tried in the United States
court began this morning. United States
District Attorney Alderman began the ar
gument for the government this morning.
Judge Samuel B. Adams had spoken all
Of yesterday for the defense.
Mr.. Alderman took up the entire morn
ing session with his argument and had
not concluded when recess was taken
for dinner. He contended that the indict-
ment found against the defendants was
valid despite the fact that it did not state
any specific time that an overt act was
committed. 1t is expected Judge Shep-
pard will render his decision upon the
demurrer very soon after the arguments
are concluded. There is only passive in
terest here in the proceedings so far, be-
cause all that has been done is to argue
the demurrer. If the judge orders the
case to proceed and be heard upon its
merits there will be considerable interest
in the hearing. So far as is known the
defense has not summoned a single wit
ness.
The defendants base their hopes largely
upon having their demurrer sustained.
The defendants are not required by Judge
Sheppard to remain in the court room
during the arguments on the demurrer.
They are permitted to attend to their
daily avocations.
When the case Is heard on it's merits,
however, if this stage is reached, the de-
PENDANTS will be required to be persent.

On gray. loamy land that tends to pro-

this soil than the one you have suggested

applications of potash than clay soil. Cot
ton seed meal may very we'll be used as
the source of nitrogen, and it occurs to
us that a light application of nitrate
of soda, say about the first of July or
a little later might be advantageous on
the land where the cotton dies so early.
II the death of the cotton is due to rust,
il certainly would be advisable to make
a liberal application of potash to the
crop. We believe you will obtain better
results on this land by cultivating late
into the season, that is not laying-by for
thirty days or more later than is the or
binary practice. We secured exceptional
" fine results last year by persistent cul-
tivation, and by that we mean unusually
late cultivation. OF course in a wet sea-
son when the cotton is inclined to make
too much stalk. late cultivation may
not be advisable. We believe it all
right to plant 1-2 feet apart, but doubt
the advisability of thinning to the ex-
tent you have suggested. We should
think from u to IS inches a better dis
tance in the drill row than from 2 IL
