John Bricker on the charge of intoxi-

SOUTH GETS LITTLE PIE
THIRD OF STATES WITH THIRD
OF POPULATION SIGHTED.
Neither in Agricultural, Sundry Civil
or Rivers and Harbors Bill Has
South Gotten Its Portion.

Notwithstanding South does not
appear to thrive on these billion dol
lar congresses.
Out of the more than one billion dol
lars which will have been appropriated
by this congress before it adjourns,
less than $40, 900, 900 was voted to the
South. Less than one-ffth Of the total
appropriations goes to fourteen great
states-one-third of the number of the
state of the union.
In the agricultural appropriation
bill may be found the different
amounts to be expended in h for
eStry service. The West gets $4,414,-
400 and the South gets $26, 900. The
general appropriation for the service
is S448, 900, 900. And everybody knows
the forests and timber lands Of the
South are Of enormous area.
The progress and development OF
the South demands good roads more
than any section of the country, and
it is to be hoped that should federal
aid ever be extended conditions will
not be such that the Northeasterners
and the Northwesterners will be per-
mitted to gObble the whole pile. Out
of the billion dollars, the measly sum
of $114,24O was appropriated by this
congress for good roads. Just a little
sum to maintain a fair-sized good
roads bureau in Washington.
Under the miscellaneous provisions
of the sundry civil bill, the South re-
ceives $2,3O2, 900. The total miscella-
neOus provisions is for $96,191,1 100. A
very large proportion of the a%gricult-
ural appropriation is general. The
South receives $%297,O 600. In the Indian
appropriation bill, of course, the West
gets the candy end of the stick. The
general appropriation is $3,4S5, 900;
NOrtheasterners get $4,000 and the
Westerners get $5,113,OOO. The South
grabbed off $4S, 5000. The provisions
for the fisheries under the sun.
dry civil bill. The general appropria-
ton is $947,0OO Besides this amount,
Northeast gets $94, 900, the West $780,
900 and the South trails with $25, 900
to it's credit. .
The sundry civil bill also contains
appropriations for the construction of
works on harbors and rivers already
under contract. The Northeastern
states get $3,4SG, 900 and the Western
states are allowed $4,000 900. The
South gets only 1892, 900. The big
eighty-fve million dollars and the
South gets $11 ,34S 900. The Northeast,
however, is appropriated $13, 712, 500
and the West $11 $3.50, 900, and $685..
900 goes to the Panama canal.

PREACHERS DUEL TO DEATH
The Rev. Perry and Rev. Van Over
Fight Before FIocks.

Lexington, Ky.-Rev. Robert Van

with knives in the Rock Creek Baptist
Church, Whitley county, Van Overs

1t is said hat the Rev. Isaac Perry

er's arms the Rev. Perry drew a knife.
At this juncture Blaine Perry seized

him, while his brother pulled his knife
across the Rev. Van Overs throat, in
t1icting a wound from which he sue
cumbed in a short time.
The church was crowded at the time

New YOrk.-The government came
out Friday in its attempt to prove
that manipulating the cotton market
is against the law. James A. Patten,
of Chicago. and seven lesser figures in
the speculative field have been indict-
ed. charged with conspiracy in re-
straint Of trade under the herman
antitrust law. The Indictment Was
returned by a special federal grand
jury late this afternoon and handed
up before Judge Hough in the U. S.
circuit court. Five of these indicted
Patten, Eugene B. Scales, Frank B.
Hayne, William P. Brown and NJ. H,
ROthschild-gave bail of $4,000 as re-
quired, through counsel.
Immediately after the Indictment
was announced there was an excited
break on the New York Cotton Ex-
change, July and August deliveries de-
clining about $3.50 a bale. July selling
at 14.S1c. and August at 14.35c, as
against 1920 and 14.64c at the close
OF the business on the previous night.
The bull leaders, however, appeared
to be in no manner disturbed by the
governments action and by their buy
ing orders helped to rally prices dur
ing the last few minutes, July closing
at 1890 m August at 14.49c bid, or
about II to IA points up from the low
level Of the day.
Five counts are embraced in the in
dictment. which is in blanket form and
contains 10, 900 words. The first count
charges tina the defendants unlaw-
fully did %cOnspire with certain cOrpor-
ations not herein indicted to demand
arbitrary, excessive and monOpolistic
prices for cotton"

WARM DAYS WANTED
PLANT is BACKWARD AND NOT
GROWING FAST.
Rainfall Excessive on the Atlantic Sea-
board, Washing the Fields and De-
laying Cultivation.

Memphis, Tenn.-The past week was
favorable to the cotton crop except
in the two CarOlinas and parts of GeOr-
gia, where the rainfall was excessive,
washing the fields and delaying Guilt
walton SO that grass is feared. North
Carolina fields were damaged by food
ing. Elsewhere it appears that a week
Of bright sunshine will repair much of
the loss.
The crop has not grown rapidly and
is still small for the season. The plant
generally looks healthy, however, and
would grow very fast with high tenn
peratures day and night. 1t would
seem that a week Of dry weather would
put the crop in excellent shape as to
cultivation throughout the South.
In Texas the soil is dry, but as yet
little hurt has been received. Moisture
is needed, however, to stimulate plant
growth. Boil wevils do not appear nu-
merOus, although in Mississippi and
some sections of Louisiana they are
more so.
In general, dry weather is needed
east of Texas and Oklahoma, while
rains would be beneficial in these two
states.

A mob Of sixty leading citizens OF
Durant hung Ohio Mitchell. a negro,
to a telegraph pole for attempting to
murder three gentlemen, at whom he

fore.
Drunk on cocaine or blind tiger WINS
key, the negro staggered on the streets
with a double-barreled shotgun,
ing his purpose to clean up the town"
and get him a white man" before
dark.
Reaching Main street, he reeled In
front of City Marshal j. S. Kealhofer's
store, where he found Mr.. Kealhofer,
his father and Night Waterman J. d.
Causey standing engaged In ~cOnversa-
ton. Without giving them warning,
silently raising his gun, he exploded
both barrels at once, the double LOAD
going Immediately over their heads
about one foot into the store. 1t was a
miracle that all three had not been
killed instantly.
Mr.. Causey was the only member Of
the party armed, and, drawing his re-
volver, he fired twice at Mitchell, hit
ting him both times and dropping him
to the ground. The first shot went into
the negro's brain and the second into
his body.
A crowd quickly gathered, alarmed
by the firing and incensed by the ter
rible outrage committed, and it was
but the work of a minute to get a rope
n1opO q nnnco around tho nnpk of the
PROSTATE and dying negro and draw
his blood-covered form up to the arm
Of a telegraph pole. They dispatched
their work with alacrity and quiet. Not
a shot was fired, not a sound made.
After waiting a decent time to give
the corpse a chance to get cold, the
body was cut down and buried by the
county,.
