Negro Hanged BY Law.

Williamson, KY, Jan. Earl
Thompson, negro, was hanged here
this morning. in fulfillment of a jul
dicial promise made to a mob bent
on lynching him three weeks ago.
On that occasion Judge carmack
left his court room to harangue the
lynchers, and declared that he would
sentence Thompson to death If the
negro was found guilty.
The crime for which Thompson was
hanged was criminal assault upon
Mrs. Ransom Roberts, near this place
last November. Three attempts have
been made to lynch Thompson, and
on the last occasion the negro was
only saved from the mob when its
members were dissuaded from its pur-
pose by Circuit Judge Carmack, who
promised that the death sentence
upon Thompson would be executed
within so days, or less, if the law
was allowed to take it's course.
The negro; who Is only 1S years
old, recently confessed to his crime.
The hanging of Thompson is the
first legal execution in this county in
so years. Thompson's indictment,
trial and sentence all took place with
in few hours on December Z. His
attorneys did not take an appeal.

MONEY AND WHISKEY STOLEN
Southern Railway Office al Edgefield
Entered by Robbers.

Edgefeld, January S.-The office
of the Southern Railway Company at
this place was broken into last night
and about fifty dollars and quantity
of whiskey that had come by express
stolen.
Entrance was effected by prizing
open the door that led into the office.
An effort was made to break open the
iron safe, but without avail, the door
Of the same being heavily indented.
The money was received from the
drawer in which the ticket and
freight money is deposited. Mr..
johnson, the agent, says that he and
his co-laborers left the Office at Ills,
and that the door was securely fast
ened. Up to this time there is abso-
lutely no clue to the perpetrators of
the deed. Every effort is being made
to run them down.
From the number of vessels con-
tanning whiskey taken it is evident
that it is the work of more than one.

Attacked by Wild Cat.

Covington, La, Jan. THE coon
skin cap, long associated with the
professionl hunter and trapper, Is
the very worst thing a hunter can
wear. At least this is the belief OF
Henry Roberts, Inter living on the
banks of Pearl river, near here, who
,blames that kind of head-gear for an
encounter which nearly cost him his
life.
Roberts, while hunting wild turkeys
yesterday was concealed In the bush
es, only his coonskin cap showing
above the brush. It was suddenly
pounced upon by a wild cat from a
nearby tree The wild cats fondness
for the coon is well known.
Likewise his attack upon person
Is an almost unheard Of thing in this
section.
Roberts killed the animal with a
knife after a fierce struggle. The
hunters head, neck and arms were
badly lacerated.

A LIVING FROM TEN ACRES.
Virginia Farmers Story an Inspira'
to others.

When all the crops have been har-
vested and ali the accounts settled,
the net profit is the real test of the
farmer. Brilliant experiments are
well enough, and the trial of unusual
methods is most interesting; but how
the farm pays alone determines the
value of the new system. Intensive
cultivation, diversified crops, farm
ing specialties and secondary crops
are, therefore, only important when
it can be demonstrated that they en-
rich the farmer.
The veteran planter, T. o. Sandy,
of Nottoway, is thoroughly convinced
of the truth of these principles,
says the Richmond Times-Dispatch
In a recent letter to the Southern
Planter he backs up his belief with
a transcript from his ledger for pc
riod of three years. The farm in
question consisted Of only ten acres,
and was apparently in bad condi-
ton when cultivation began. Sub
soiling was necessary, while two and
one-half tons of bone meal had to be
used. From the profits or that year,
therefore, the expense Of these i'm
provements had to be deducted. But
the ten acres produced 700 bushels
of corn and twenty bushels of corn
stover, with a net profit of $4,000
to the owner.
When the corn was worked for the
last time during the first season,
crimson clover was seeded for the
next season, twenty pounds to the
acre. This required little cultiva-
ton, and at the end Of the year,
yielded sixteen tons of hay, worth
$3.50 net. For the third season the
ten acres were fertilized with two
and one-half tons of bone meal, and
were planted in timothy, herds
grass, sapling clover and alfalfa. AZ
ter all the expenses of this season
had been paid the years hay crop
sold for s572.50. Thus, within three
years, the profit from the ten-acre
lot amounted to 1892, or clear
yearly revenue of s41.07 per acre.
X Here is a sermon that needs no
praise. Here is an argument in be-
half of good farming that requires no
explanation. If every farmer in
Virginia would take it to heart, the
next three years would revolutionize
the agriculture of the state and triple
the productivity of our farms.

BOY KILLS TWO "YEGGS."
Plucky Tallahassee Lad Prevents
Postoffice Robbery.

Tallahassee, Fla, January SIN
a struggle early to-day with two safe
blowers, Paul Sauls, seventeen years
old, son of ]. NJ. Sauls, the night
watchman at the postoftice building
shot and killed them both in the
basement of the building. The boy
was only slightly wounded. The two
cracksmen, both of whom were white,
have not been identified.
Young Sauls was on duty for his
father, and was in the basement when
he heard knock at the door, and
going by cot, took up a pistol before
answering. When he reached the
door some one on the outside shouted
that a mail pouch had been picked up
in the street, and he opened the door
to receive it.
Instead, according to the lads
story, he found himself looking into
the barrels of two pistols and the
order came to hands up.
MY hands came up as they pounc-
ed upon me-" he said, "and as they
tried to bind me with rope, 1 man
aged to get my pistol in a strained
position and fired. The shot evident
IL took effect, for only one Of the
men clung to me. l then placed my
pistol on my shoulder, and fired to
the rear several times, after which l
was free from their grasp"
=. That every shot from the boys re-
volver hit its mark is shown by bullet
holes in the dead men. One has
holes in his forehead and right tenn
pie, while the other was shot through
the stomach and face.
It is believed that third party
was on the outside, for when the rob-
bers' clothing was searched, three
Atlantic Coast Line mileage books
were found in the pocket of one, sup
posed to be the leader of the gang.
The books were purchased in the
Broadway station, New York, Janu-
ary 8, being numbered consecutive
" 86,190-91-92, and bear the names
J.. Martin, J. E. Walters and j. M.
Strong.
A complete outfit for safe robbing,
consisting of drills, nitro-glycerine,
fuses, caps, soap, wax and electric
searchlights, was found on the bod
les of the men.

SELLERS FOUND GUILTY.
Columbia's King of Blind Tigers
Convicted of Selling Whiskey.


Columbia. January S.-Going upon
the stand for the first time in his
career and pleading not guilty to a
charge of violation of the whiskey
law, Wade Hampton Sellers, known
locally as the King of Blind Tigers, y
was to-day in the court of general
sessions found guilty of selling whis-
key. Sentence was suspended by
Judge Prince until Monday.
Many a time has Sellers been fined
in the recorders court for violation
of the whiskey ordinance, but never
has he gone on the stand himself
and sworn that he did not sell Whis-
key until to-day. At times he has
been acquitted, at times he has been
convicted of the charge Of illict sale
of whiskey, but always was he mute
as regards his guilt or innocence.
A career that would make inter-
esting reading has Sellers had. Ac-
quilted of the charge of the killing
Constable Farmer, Sellers last year
passed the zenith of an adventurous
life. A newsboy, first on the trains,
he began to sell whiskey, and was
fined time and time again. Once he
promised Governor Hayward not to
sell any more whiskey and says he
kept his promise during the State
dispensary regime. On one occasion
a Seaboard flyer struck a wagon car
rying some Of Sellers booze, and the
driver was killed. The spot is point
ed out to visitors where the crash
came.
Constable Farmer came to his door
one morning two years ago and rifle
shot was sent through the body OF
the officer. But because the search
warrant was not properly made out
Sellers escaped punishment on the
second trial, the first being mistrial.
Sellers has started out into new
field, that of running a pool room,
and it was in this business that he
was charged with the sale of whiskey
and the return to his old tricks.

Smallest Crop in Decade.

Washington, January S.-The cot
ton crop Of the year 1909 is going to

ment of agriculture. 1T is DUE" he
said in addressing the House commit
tee on agriculture, Ito the weevl In
Louisiana and in portions of Arkans-
as and Mississippi and to the extreme
dry weather in Texas"
The boil weevil, he declared, un-
doubtedly would cause remarkable
redistribution of cotton, first in large
areas. What were large centres
of production formerly were 60
ing to fall down and more than
that there would be redistribution
Of the small plantations.
In the large back-from-the-front
areas" Mr.. Hunter continued, 1.-The
production is going to fall off. Ac-
cording to all we know about fight
ing the boil weevil, cotton cannot be
planted profitably in such situations,
and those back lands with poor drain
age. But the soil and other condi-
tions in certain parts of almost every
plantation in the South will permit
the planter to continue to raise cotton
profitably despite the boil weevil.
Recent experiments with new kind
of poison powdered arsenate of-lead
seem to indicate that even where the
weevil Is most numerous a certain
degree of control may be obtained" :"
