WOMAN WEEDS MAN
INDICTED FOR MURDER

MACON. Ga, July 6-Married to a man
who may face prison term, Mrs.
Johnny B. Jones has appealed to the
sheriff. the solicitor and the judge to al
low her to occupy a cell in the Bihb
county iail, next to her husband. who is
under indictment as principal in the
first degree for the murder of Wiley d.
Bishop. the police sergeant, for which
crime Tom Jones has already been tried
and convicted.
Johnny B. Jones was married Tuesday
to Miss Leola Adams Boner the cere-
mony being performed by Rev. ]. L. Lee.
of the East Macon Baptist church. in
the mans cell, in the presence of a few
friends. Mrs. Jones then and there de-
manded the privilege of staying in the
cell with her husband but this was de-
MED her.
Johnny B. Jones swore at the trial Of
Tom Jones that he instead of Tom fired
the shot which killed Bishop. Tom, how
ever, was found guilty and given life
sentence. Then the grand jury indicted
Johnny b, holding that Bishops death
could have been caused by the blows on.
the head, which were admittedly admin
istered by Tom Jones as well as by the
bullet wound. So this puts Johnny B.
Jones in a predicament. Should he be
acquitted of the charge of killing Bishop,
he is guilty Of perjury, and will be tried
for the same.

some political subject, such as that mas
terpiece OF it's kind. the Thoughts on
the Cause of the Present Discomfort.
When Lord North became head of the
government in ITO he brought about all
the disasters which Burke had foretold
and for the first six years Of this min
istry Burke was the man who kept the
whig party together, fighting for them
In the commons as they had never been
fought for before. Returned as a repre-
sentative of Bristol, then the second city
In the kingdom, he struggled hard for
the cause of justice in the management
of the colonies, and his Speech. on
Cancellation" has long since become a
classic, like all his work, lacking only
in polish and style.
When the Wings came again into pow
er at the time of the surrender of Corn
wallis. Burke's influence, of course, be-
came still greater In all the legislation
regarding the Indian bill he took an inn
portant part and finally in the trial Of
Warren Hastings, he conducted what
was, in many respects, the greatest state
affair of his career and what included
the greatest of all his speeches. The
narrative of the crimes Of Hastings, as
Macauley says, made Burke's blood boil,
and never during all his part IN the four
teen weary years of the trial did his
lessen In intensity.
In 1870 Burke startled many Of his
friends by the publication of his RE
Elections on the Revolution in France"
Windham wrote of him: What shall be
said of the state of things, when II Is
remembered that the writer is a man
decried, prosecuted and prescribed, not
being much valued in his own party, and
by half the nation considered as little
better than a madman?'
And, indeed, the electrified country
nearly justified these statements. There
was at once an end of his political
friendships and from that day his public
career may be said to have begun to
decline He was partially rehabilitated
by the time the Hastings trial came to
an end. but in 1874 he took a formal
leave of parliament, and, refusing peer
age, would accept only a pension Of $12,
600. He died on July s, 1877.

over the early career Of Edmund
Burke, the greatest of English orators,
there hangs a veil that has never been
lifted. The most reasonable opinion as
to his birth fixes that event as occur
ring at Du blinon January II, 1929. His
father was a protestant, an attorney,
his mother a catholic, by the name OF
Maggie: he had at least one sister Mrs.
French. from whom the existing rep
resentatives of Burke's family are des-
cended. and two brothers, one younger
and, another older than he was. with
whom he went to school at Kildare.
Later Edmund attended Trinity college
when Goldsmith was a student there,
and like him, attained no academic dis
tinction.
Burke then studied law at the Temple
in London, was said to have been fav-
ored admIrer OF Peg Wellington and to
have made a mysterious visit to this
country, and in 1776 published, after a sa-
tire on Bolingbroke, his well-known
treatise on The Sublime and Beauti-
full" For some time he made a little
money from his literary ventures and
then got his first insight into politics
by accompanying William Gerald Ham
ilton to Ireland, when the latter was
secretary for that country.
Later Burke quarreled with Hamilton
and accepted the position or secretary 10
Marquis Of Rockingham, when that peer
was made prime minister Shortly there
after Burke defended the course Of the
ministry in regard TO the American colon
ies so ably as to attract the attention
of the whole Wing party, and from
that time until 1890 he was one of the
party's chief men.
In 1856 Burke married a daughter Of
Dr. Nugent, of Bath, and during the
years of parliamentary opposition, which
now came upon him. he continued to
live in a manner which has excited not
a little suspicion, buying an estate at
Beaconsfleld which was worth at least
$500 a year. He loved art and filled this
house with treasures, at the same time
keeping up, among all his political pre-
occupations, an intimacy with Gold
smith, Garrick and johnson and the club
at the famous Turks Head, himself pro-

THE CULTIVATION OF RUTABAGA
TURNIPS.

stream. The land is dark gray with deep
sandy subsoil 1 want to plant it to
rutabaga turnips, and wish to know
how to plant them and how much fer
tilizer to use to get the best results.
Rutabagas may be seeded any time in
late July or early August. They are
best sown in drills about two feet apart
and should not be left closer than u foot
in the drill rows IL you seek size. Where
medium sized turnips are desired. they
may be left as close as eight inches. TIL
thickness of planting, however, will be
determined by the richness of the soil.
About a pound and half to two pounds
of seed are required when planted in
drills, and two pounds If broadcasted.
When planted in drills they should be
cultivated and kept free of weeds and
grass. and If the earth is drawn up to-
wards them as they develop they will
grow faster.
A good fertilizer to use on this crop
may be prepared as follows: Mix to-
gether 1000 pounds of high grade acid
phosphate, GOO pounds of tankage con-
tanning not less than per cent of nitro
gen and IL per cent Of phosphoric acid,
200 pounds Of muriate Of potash, and zoe
pounds OF compost or rich earth. This
makes ton approximating "a per cent
of nitrogen, 9.5 per cent Of phosph ORIG
acid and per cent of potash. II used
at the rate Of 800 to 500 pounds per
acre should give excellent results on

ed in your letter.
GOOD BOOKS TO READ ON SOILS.
D. B., Helena, Ga, writes: What book
would you recomend me to buy on
chemistry or soil culture?
One Of the best elementary books on
agricultural CHI emistry is The Chemis>
try of the Farm" by Warrington. Pre-
fessor Warrington is an authority on
the subjects he discusses and his text
will give any one who studies 1t with
care and dehniteness Of purpose a great
deal Of useful information. There are
other books which are probably easier
to understand which would be Of some
service to one interested in the ch ennis
try Of the soil Among these might he
men toned Soils" by E. w. Hilgard.
This text discusses the formation, prop
critics, composition and the relation OF
soils to climate and plant growth. An
other elementary text book on soils ana
fertilizers has been published. by Harry
Snyder. The Fertility of the Land" by
Roberts, is also a useful book for begin
ners. Fertilizers" by voorhees,, ana
Chemistry Of Plant and Animal Life"
by Harry Snyder, will also be found
helpful. These books can be used to
good advantage N any farm library.

SCENE OF A
BA I TLE

That the Hartman railroads intend
to resent any real or imaginary en-
croachment by the city upon their
domain was again evidenced this
morning, when a second skirmish be-
tween railroad and city officials took
place at the ogden garbage crema,
tory.
Several wagon loads of garbage had
been conveyed to the city dumping
grounds by teamsters and We're about
to be dumped when Special Railroad
officer Charles Shumaker appeared on
the scene and ordered that none OF
the refuse be dumped, as the ground
belonged 10 the railroad. and the men
were treSpassers.
While the dumping grounds adjoin
railroad property, it is asserted by
the sanitary officers that the dump
Ing was all being done on CITY prop.
erty, which does not belong to the
railroad company.
Eight or nine teams were being
held up by the railroad officer when
Sanitary Officer Moronl Poulter ar
rived on the scene and a war OF
words followed between the opposing
officers.
In the meantime Shumaller had call.
ed the patrol wagon 10 the dumping
grounds and ordered that the patrol
men take TO jail City Cremater Doug.
las. whom they had placed under ar.
rest Officer Poulter resented this
action and stated that he would take
the responsibility OF any trespass
The patrol driver, being between two
hres, cracked his whip and with an
empty wagon drove back to the barn.
The garbage was finally dumped on
what Is believed to be city property.
but the railroad officials called their
attorney Charles Hollingworth, into
the controversy and the matter is far
from settled.
Attorney Hollingworth put the san
itary officer through a series of ques'
tons and 1t is possible that q com
plant will be filed
1t is believed by the sanitary de-
paTtment that the action of the rail
road in sending the officer TO the
dumping grounds TO prevent the dis
posal OF refuse Is merely a counter
move in the fight which started with
the railroad preventing the city from
laying n water main around the new
Hartman freight depot.

TON N A GE IN
OG D EN IS
HEAVY

While James ]. Hin. the great rail.
road magnate. openly states that the
traffic of the great railways of the
country is showing a decided slump,
the local heads Of the Hartman lines
are more discreet and decline to give
out any dlscouraging reports for pub
lication.
The ogden freight department an
nounced this morning that the taffc
handled through this city during the
month of November, 1910, shows an
appreciable increase over the move
ment OF the same month of 1909 1t
Is stated that while TO- ,409 tons OF
freight were handled through the To-
cal Offices last year. the past month
shows that II .094 tons were handled.
While the north and south movement
has been lightened considerably dur
ing the past few weeks. east and west
bound freight has been sufficiently
heavy TO Offset the deficit.
The distinctly local traffic Is claim
ed to be very satisfactory. During the
past month, an average Of 130 tons
of freight have been shipped out of
Ogden every day and an average of
so tons have found their way into the
local markets through the Hartman
lines 1t is asserted that this is in
excess OF the tonnage OF most former
years.
The through-lreight is not consider
ed In the figures OF tonnage handled
through the local offices. In such
figures only the less-than-carload-lot
traffic Is included or such carload-lots
as are transferred at the freight house
from one car to another. OF this
freight 1t is estimated that the rail
roads are now handling an average
OF $50 tons per day.
Reports from other official sources
are to the effect that the business of
the Salt Lake division of the HART
man lines is exceedingly dull and that
the prospects of the immediate future
are gloomy There is said TO be a
natural lull in the fruit traffic al the
present time. The California orange
shipment will not begin until after
the hrst OF the year Just now the
only fruit movement is that of the
early oranges which amounts 70 but
little in tonnage
