Corn Testing.

In response to the invitation Civ
en- to the farmers by the Superin-
tendent of Monroe City Schools,
about twenty persons met in the
public school building to hear the
discussions on selection of seed
corn and methods of testing power
of termination. Those who attend.
ed were we'll paid for their trouble.
Byron Mcfarland opened the dis
cussion with a plain, common
sense talk, based on scientific prin-
ciples. He illustrated his talk with
blackboard sketches, and brought
| out forcibly the necessity of careful
selection, by explaining why care
less selection means uncertain re-
suits.
H. M. Tooley, teacher of agricul-
ture in the Monroe City High School.
gave an interesting and instructive
talk on corn termination and some
simple and inexpensive methods of
testing the terminating power of
corn. His talk was REINFORCED by
the practical methods now being
used by the class in agriculture.
The meeting was a success
throughout, although the number
of farmers present was not so large
as it should have been. 1t is hoped
that meetings of this nature will be
held often.

To Farmers.

If you want your seed corn test
ed free, bring it to the Public School
building, Monroe City. during the
next few days. We can test about
rs bushels.
All the testing for terminating
power will be made under the per-
sonal direction of H. M. Tooley,
teacher of agriculture. The results
will be carefully tabulated and re-
ported to the owner who may then
take his corn.

The work of inves- tigating the soil conditions has been in conjunction with the agricultural depart ment of the state.
 Up to date reports of the following sur veys have been printed: Autauga, Bibb, Blount, Butler, Calhoun, Gilbert, Gull man, Dallas, Etowah, Hale, Henry, lief ferson, Lamar, Lauderdale, Lee, Macon, Marion, Montgomery, Sumter and Talla- , dega counties; It. Wayne area, compris- Nng portions of DeKalb and Cherokee counties, and the Huntsville area, com prising portions of Limestone and Madi- son counties.

 Messrs. Winston, Burke, Waldrop and Maynadier are the experts from the de- partment who will conduct the surveys in conjunction with assistants from the state agricultural department.
 A great demand has been made on the department at Washington for copies Of the reports of the various surveys and for advance information as to the charac- ter of the soils which are found by the experts. A large number of these re- quests are from people outside the state who wish to know if the soils are fertile and to what they are best adapted

Lima, Ohio, December 1S.-In a concert cd effort at escape at the county jai this afternoon, four prisoners won theii way to freedom after murderous assault on Sheriff Van Gurten.

 Charles Collins, Spencer Stevens, Will liam Evans and Herman Berger were the men who escaped. Berger and Evans were shortly afterward recaptured.
 The men wrenched off the look of the inner door of the prison with an iron bal taken from one of the beds.
 As the prisoners made a rush for lib erty Sheriff Van Gurten ran out of his office and was at once struck down by Collins, who carried the iron bar.
 His two sons followed him, and the younger, snatching up an empty rife. or dered the men back to their cells. Four os them rushed past him, but the rest obeyed.

JUSTICE HUGHES
 RBSENTS JUNIORS

Washington, December 1S.-There has been much gossip in political circles In Washington during the past week follow ing the elevation of Associate Justice White to the chief justiceship of the su- preme court of the United States. Tho gossip has centered to great extent in the supposition that the failure of Pres ident Taft to fulfill the expectation gen. eral in Washington that Associate Jus tice Hughes would receive this promo ton would leave the latter in a position where he would be available for the re- publican presidential nomination In 1912. Those In the confidence of Justice Hughes know he Is distressed by this talk, par ticularly so by the inference in some quarters that he is nursing grievance that he was not promoted to the chief justiceship.
 Justice Hughes has steadfastly refused, since his elevation to the supreme bench, to talk for publication; nevertheless 1t can be said with unqualified posltiyeness, and no grievance. that he never was prom ised the chief justiceship; that he recog- nizes the fitness and propriety of the ap- pointment of Justice White as chief 1us- tice; that he is not and does not intend ever to be 0 candidate for the presidency, and particularly that he Is happy in his work and desires to be left alone to do it to the best of his ability.

SHOOTING APFRAY
 IS MYSTERIOUS

Georgiana. December 1s.-Citizens of Georgiana are intensely excited over q mysterious shooting affray late Satur- day night in which J. T. Smith, a prom inent merchant, was killed by J. c. Brown who is in the meat market business.
 The mystery of the situation has been deepened by the spiriting away of a ne- gro, Sam Singer. to the Greenville jail in order to prevent his being lynched by angry citizens for part he is supposed to have played in the shooting.
 The shooting occurred Saturday night at Il o'clock in the store of J. T. Smith. It is said that Smith cut Browns cloth ing with knife before he fell to the floor in dying condition from four bull let wounds. Two of the bullets entered the pit of his stomach, piercing the in- testines in several places, the other two entering his arm.
 Both men belong to the most promi- nent families in this section of the coun- try and expressions of sympathy for both are heard on all sides.
 The authorities are making a hurried investigation of the case and will, in all probability, make the facts known in the two factions, which at the present moment seems imminent.
 Brown has been taken to Greenville md Is In the hands of authorities of that city, pending an investigation.

THE MOTHERS MISTAKE
Through RidicuIe She Lost the Conn-

| From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The mater was talking to my aunt the other day. happened to overhear what mater was complaining because Clifford and I don't tell her things, don't con- flde in her what we're doing and what we're going to do and what we want to do.
 It's quite true. We don't. But I don't think it's our fault. I believe it is due to another of the matters mistakes. When we were kids, of course, we had all sorts of mighty Ideas. Clifford meant to be President of the United States. And I intended to carve out career with my sword and be a major general at least. The sort of rot, you know, that you do talk when you're a silly little thingi
 Well, the mater used to laugh at us. remember quite distinctly once I said something about what I would do when I was a general, and she said: What a ridiculous child you arei You'll rever make a. soldier!'
 And she told the batter about 1t, and he laughed. too. I know that I was a silly little child. and that I was talking awful rot, but I don't think they need have ridiculed me like that Anyway. after a little bit both Clifford and I couldn't help feeling that 1t wasn't good enough. We left off saying anything to the mater or the batter about what we wanted to be. Then we began to keep our own counsel about what we were actually doing.
 And now we've got Into a regular habit of minding our own business and only telling the mater things that are really necessary. I know 1t hurts her, but can't help 1t now. And don't you think it's not altogether my fault.

SMALL BOY IS CAUGHT
 ROBBING THE MAILS

Rochester. Penn., December 1s.-A six year-old mail robber was caught in the postoffice tonight with his arms full of mail he hAd taken from two boxes. A policeman stood and watched the child empty two boxes and recognized Martin McCush, the child Of his friend. Martin McCush. The youngster was taken to his father.
 An investigation will be made tomorrow to ascertain if the two firms whose mail was "rihed" have suffered any loss. Whether the boy manipulated the com bination locks on the boxes or whether they were left open by some one ssAt had previously called for the mail is not known.
 In a waste paper basket in the post office was found scraps of several dozen letters that had been addressed to tho two firms. These remnants will be ex- amined to learn if there were any checks. Complaints of lost mail have been at the postoffice for several weeks.

Protecting the Mails

From the Ohio State Journal.
 The postoffice department is turning out to be the best-conducted department of the government. At first the people thought that MT. Hitchcock was going to be only political Postmaster General, but he is vastly different. He is pushing wholesome reforms in his department and relieving the people of lot of imposi- ton.
 His latest work is in arresting people who use the mails to skin the public. He says the public has been fieeced out of $1o0.000,0O0 in the past five years through circulars and letters enticing in- vestments upon false representations. This sort of business Is making the gov ernment privy to great frauds, to thwart which the government has passed strin- gent laws and MT. Hitchcock proposes to enforce them to the letter.
 He has already had 7S persons arrested for this prostitution of the postal ser vice. One could almost wish that the dupes could suffer penalties of their own fooishness, but the character of the na- ton Is also at stake, 1t Is always at stake when 1t is blind to fraud or imposition.
