Killed by Electricity.

Late last Friday evening Otto
Hit, of Cape Girardeau, cleo
trocuted himself by cutting a
live electric light wire. He and
another man by the name of
Litterer, were disconnecting
some wires, and after young
Hit had cut the third wire
from the pole it fell to the grass
and begin writhing, The boys
held a consultation, and Litter
er started to the office for in
structions, while Hit remained
to warn the public. Litterer
was but a few yards away when
Hit took hold the wire, which
instantly knocked him down and
killed him. Litterer called for
help, and with a hoe they got
the burning wire from about his
body. The wire was charged
with 2300 volts. The coroner
jury returned a verdict of it be-
ing accidental and lack of ex-
perience with outside wiring.
Hit had been work ing for the
McElroy Electric Co., for about
eighteen months.
Otto was ninteen years of age,
and had many friends in this
city. He was the son of Mrs.
M. A. Hit, who has resided in
this county for a number of
years. The funeral took place
Monday morning at the Cape
cemetery. His sister, NJ i s S
Maude Hit, who was visiting
relatives in Aubrey, Texas, ar
rived home late Sunday evening.

however, the Republicans will
propose a method for restoring
to people of the cities the right
to control their own affairs as
far as may be consistent with
the rights and interests of the
people of the state. The Repub-

and to insure the enforcement
of state laws.
While material development

progressive policy generally will
be advocated by the Republicans;

honest election laws, and upon a
better system for controlling

better laws controlling the liquor

Our little city has been a scene
of activity for the past two

Not only are there many leo

big Stadium shows, which are
the best on the road. which the
association secured to give the
show going public something
new and interesting. Among
one of the free attractions is

it 10 said that johnson grass
may be completely eradicated in
one years time.
Although m any southern
ers think Johnson grass is prac-
tically indestructable, yet like
any other weed it may be stamp
ed out if time and care are
taken. We would advise any of
our nothern friends who are
buying southern land to keep a

grass.
The Jackson herald., 1910-08-25

at this time by the decision of
the Supreme Court in the now
celebrated Halliburton Roach
mandamus case. The issue rails
ed is simply this: Shall the State
Senate be a representative body
or a Democratic caucus with the
power of self-perpetuation?
Under the law as it now stands
the law the proposed senator
ial district amendment would
have repealed-the senate can
fail or refuse" to pass a re-
districting bill, whereupon the
governor, the encouragement
and the secretary of state must
form the senatorial districts.
These officials having been DEM
ocrats in 1881, 1891 and 1901
formed the districts so as to
make two-thirds Of them reliably
Democratic. The present attor-
ney-general and secretary of
state-both of of them partizan
Democrats--will follow the ex-
ample of their predecessors in
case the senate again fails or
refuses to redistrict the state, a
thing that will certainly occur
unless public opinion is aroused
sufficiently to make the senate
Republican or to deter Demo-
Gratis from repeating the trick
they have used so successfully
since 1881. 1t is the purpose of
the Republicans to show the in
iquity of the course followed by
the Democratic senate and to ask
the people of Missouri for fair
play and fair representation, not
only in the state legislature but
in congress: for the congression-
al districts have been gerryman-
dered almost as bad as the sena-
torial districts.
By deliberately plotting to
prevent this issue being submit
ted in the form of a proposed
amendment to the constitution
Democratic state officials and
leaders have shown a fear of it
and have aroused not only the
suspicion of the honest voters
but their patriotism. If the
representation of the people IN
the state senate is to be determ-
ined by two partizan state
officials; and if their representa-
tion in congress is to be dictat-
ed by state senators from gerry
wandered districts; and if their
privilege of voting on proposed
constitutional amendments is to
be determined by a partizan
secretary of state sustained by
higher partizan authorities then
popular government in Missouri
is a myth and the state belongs
to the Democratic party, with
out recourse.
The platform for this cam.
paign will be adopted here Sep.

nominees for the legislature, fol

members of the state committee,

Grass.
From Wnllaces' Farmer.
An Illinois S correspondent
writes:
Il had some thoughts of buy
ing land in Mississippi. There
are in the neigborhood called
Johnson grass and Bermuda
grass. They.appear to form an
exceedingly tough sod and there
are differences of opinion as to
whether it is practicable to de-
stroy them by plowing them up
and cultivating the ground.
Some men say they are easily
destroyed, while others say that
johnson grass is indestructable,
and when it gets set on a tract
of land it cannot be used for any
other purpose. Can you can give
me any information on the SUBJ
ject?"
Bermuda grass and Johnson
grass are at the same tine two
of the most valuable grasses of
the south and two of the worst
weeds. Both are valuable hay
and pasture plants. Both pro-
pagate readily by root stalks.
Both are likely to become sod
bound in few years and to lose
much of their value thereby.
Both are extremely difficult to
eradicate on account of their con-
tinuous root stalks.
! Of the two grasses, Bermuda
is much the more valuable. Both
the hay and the pasture are very
nutritious and much liked by
domestic animals. From two to
four tons of hay are yielded per
acre. Rermuda grass may be
eXterminated by fall blowing and
putting in next spring of some
quick growing crop, such as
sorghum. millet, soy beans or
COW peas. Bermuda grass dis
likes shade. Those of the up
turned root stalks that survive
tne winters freezing are starv-
ed out by the quickly growing
spring sown crops.
OF the two grasses, johnson
grass is much the less valuable
and the harder to control as a
weed. In many sections of the
south the problem how to con-
troll Johnson grass is very SER
ious. Johnson grass is a close
relative of the sorghums. Like
the sorghums it has considerable
forage and hay value.
The government recommends
the following method as very
effective in stamping out John
son grass: The infested land is
plowed in the fall SO as to turn
over every bit of the soil. A
careful narrowing is given, and
this if followed by a tool called
the root digger or grass hoe,
which is sort of a cultivator
with very slender teeth. The
furrows are fisrt gone over cross
wise and then lengthwise. In
this way a great many of the
troublesome root a k S are
brought to the surface. Here
they may be left to decay over
winter, or t h ey may be re
moved and burned. In the spring
the ground is again plowed and
the land put to corn or cotton.
Ordinary cultivation it given and
the field is gone over two weeks
and all sprigs of Johnson grass
are pulled up before they get to
be over six inches in height. If
