FIXES BLAME ON NEGRO.
Coroner's Jury Finds Verdict in Ac-
cordance With Girls Story.

Brunson, Dec. 2.-The coroner's s
jury which since Wednesday has
been investigating the death of J. R..
Langford, the prominent planter
found dead in the woods near here
Tuesday night, has returned it's ver-
dict and has fixed ne guilt on
Richey Williams, the negro who is in
the penitentiary in Columbia for safe
keeping.
Mary Harris, the 20-year-old white
girl, who admits being in the woods
with Mr.. Langford at the time he
was killed and upon whose accusa-
ton Williams was suspected and ar
rested, is in Hampton Jail. The jury
visited her thereagain to-day and en-
deavored to learn something further
of the crime, but she stuck to her
previously told story, that the negro
had crept up behind Mr.. Langford
and killed him by blow on the head
with a stick. No evidence was ad-
duced at the investigation to throw
suspicion on any one other than the
negro and there was no evidence
against him except that of the girl.
Mary Harris and her father and
three smaller sisters live near where
the crime was committed. They are
,illiterate, it is said, in the extreme.
1t is admitted that she told nothing
of the killing until it was suspected
she knew something Of the crime and
upon being questioned closely she
finally told the story which resulted
in the arrest of Williams.
The negro bears good reputation,
has been a hard worker and has sew
eral children. His wife died about
q year ago.
The whole story is considered a
most revolving one here and the vari-
Gus explanations that have been sug-
gested are only talked of in whispers.

Tillman Just Tolerable.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Senator b.
F.. Tillman, who arrived here this
morning, said he was feeling "just
tolerable," but seems very cheerful.
Senator Tillman arrived here this
morning from Rock Hill where he
and Mrs. Tillman spent the night
with D. B. Johnson, president of
Winthrop. Their young daughter,
Miss Sallie, is in college at Winthrop.
The Senator came, he said, just to
see how he would feel in harness
again, but he will go home the last
of next week, and if his experiment
shows that he feels all right in har-
ness he will return in January.
He is cheerful though feeble and
has received number of callers in
his rooms at the Normandy and in
his Office at the capitol during the
day.
He is not discussing any political
or official matters for publication.

be retained each should be planted
on a separate row. It is not neces-
sary that the entire ear be planted,
but precautions must be taken so
that each row planted will have the
same number of stalks and distance,
both in the drill and between the
rows.
The following fall each row should
be gathered separately and the ears
from it weighed. The best ears from
the highest yielding rows should be
saved to start another breeding
patch the second year. The most de-
sirable ears from several of the next
highest yielding rows can be used
for planting the general crop.
It is necessary that the breeding
patch be several hundred yards from
any other corn field to prevent mix
ing with inferior varieties, and that
the character of the fertilizers and
cultivation of the land used be as
near like the general field as pos
sible. J. NJ. NAPIER.

Did His Part.

In Western Kentucky town Ben
Watson had saved the life of Myra
Underhill. Miss 'Underhill's boat had
been overturned in creek with
swift current, and the act Of young
Watson was very heroic one. He
had saved the life of the girls after
she was sinking for the third time,
and he had barely strength to pull
himself and the young woman to
shallow water.
The news soon spread and Ben
Watson was hailed as the real, live
hero of the village.
Aunt Tabby Wilson, the oldest wo-
man in the village, mother of the lit
tie colony, was loud in the praise of
the heroism of the young man, and
at once declared that Ben and Myra
must get married. ben saved Ny
ra's life,' she said, "and now they
must marry and be happy ever after
wards, just as they do in the story
books
But Ben demurred. The arrange
ment did not suit him.
why not marry Myra, Benz
said the old lady. 'She is yours and
we must have a wedding"
"She's nice girl, all right" re-
piled Ben, "but / don't think we
oughter marry Seems to me- he

Wire Tappers Won $400, 900.

New York, April 1S.-New York
and Philadelphia poolroom men,
according to a report on Broad
way today, lost between $iOO, 600
and 100000 in one of the most
gigantic wire tapping coups that
has been engineered in this coun-
try. 1t is understood that the wire
tappers bet $4,000 in poolrooms
throughout the country and won
about $500, 900. 1t was, of course,
impossible to get accurate infor-
nation, but the gambling fratern-
ity admitted with many shakes OF

There was nothing new in the
trick. 1t was the old game of cut

Colony for Negroes in Mexico

The Mexican government has
offered under certain conditions,
$3.50, 900 acres of land in the State
of Tabasco to negroes and upon
this is to be established one OF
the largest negro colonies in the
world, with the exception OF Lii
IBERIA, Africa.
The negroes will come from all
p%ortions of the United States, but
principally from East Texas and
Louisiana.
Tabasco is in the tropics and
bananas, pineapples, tobacco, corn,
beans, coffee and like crops are
easily raised. The colonists will
be offered every protection and
will be encouraged in every way
by the Mexican government.
1t is CLAIMED that while the col
ony will be in the tropics, that the
health conditions in that section
are equal to those in the bottom
lands of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama
Mississippi and other states. The
promoters also believe that the
negro colonists would soon accli.
mate themselves to that section
and make the best colonists thai
could be obtained.

Viability of Corn

A few weeks ago the Expert
ment Station called attention to
the fact that the dry weather in
the fall was unfavorable to prom
er maturing OF the corn crop
and that the early freezes had
undoubtedly killed the germs OF
large quantities of it. AS a con-
sequence good seed corn will be
hard to obtain in the spring. II
was advised that every man be-
gin at once and test his own corr
and if it proved unfit to plant
to take steps to secure seed from
a reliable breeder.
To more accurately prove thai
corn is in a bad condition the Sta.
ton sent a man out among the
farmers near Columbia tog ct sam
pies of their corn. It was taker
from various places ranging from
a good crib in the barn to lyinf
in the field. Ten kernels we're tai
en- from twenty ears of each var
iety that every man grew, whc
was visited. According to tn.
statements of the farmers some O
this corn WAS husked early, SOM

was found stored.

Kansas Beats Us Again
Dear Editor

Dear Editor
l guess you have lived long

too much the start of you, much
less If he is an Arrow Rock re-
publican. All the same d. H. Lou
derback bought 81 cases of eggs
one Saturday evening and paid

anything to get funny over.

culation, through wounds, sores,
etc, brought into contact with con
sumptives' sputum or infected ma
terial.
1t should be suspected from the
presence of two or more of the
following symptoms, cough lasting
over a month, loss iof weight, af-
ternoon feverishness, splitting OF
blood, a tired or run down feeling
with unusual inability or capricious
ness, listlessness, etc., sweating at
night, particularly of the head.
These symptoms call for medical
advice. Tuberculosis is durable,
but early recognition is necessary.
Light, fresh air, cleanliness, rest OF
body and mind, a sufficiency of
wholesome food. II these can be
obtained at home under the direc-
ton of a wise physician, cure may
be obtained at home. For those
who are unable to pay for medical
advice there are tuberculosis dis
pensaries, which give free advice
and necessary medicines. To those
who are too poor to obtain the es-
sentials and carry out medical adj
vice at home. Sa~natorium treat
ment is recommended.
By general education of the pub
lie as to the facts that the disease
is communicable, preventable and
durable, tuberculosis may be pre-
vented by people learning how to
overcome the predisposing causes
and how to avoid the exciting
cause. The predisposing causes
may be overcome when the people
are educated to nourish their bod
les with sufficient wholesome food,
eaten leisurely at proper intervals
and in clearly surroundings. Prac-
tice strict personal cleanliness.
Live as much as possible out of
doors, insist on as much fresh air
and sunshine as possible indoors,
avoid overwork and unwholesome
food and all Incorporate habits,
especially excessive indulgence in
alcoholic beverages, tobacco, and
the use Of drugs and patent medi-
cines, and to take sufficient rest.
Avoid living, sleeping or working
in dark, overcrowded, or ill-venti-
lated rooms. The exciting cause
may be avoided by avoiding close
face to face contact with consump-
tives, especially kissing, whereby
droplet infection might take place,
Teaching the consumptive to des-
troy his sputum and not to expec-
torate or otherwise scatter it
broadcast; to avoid other means
of injecting his family and neigh
bors by coughing or talking dir
ectly into thir faces. Early dis
covery of the disease, thus curing
patients and removing a source of
infection to others.
There is an organized movement
in most civilized countriec of the
world-and particularly in the Uni
ted Stats-which has for it's OBJ
jects: The education of all people
with regard to the facts, the estab-
lishment on an adquate scale of
hospitals for advanced and incur
able cases, ~dispensaries for early
diagnosis and advice, sanatoria for
treatment of durable cases, cooper
alton with all sound movements for
the betterment of living and work

Sleigh RIDERS
HAVE ACCIDENT

Last Sunday night party Of
twenty Gardnerville people figured
in an accident while returning
from Valley Springs in a large
sleigh drawn by six spirited horses.
A short distance below Minden
the main travelled road was almost
without show and the driver
swung the leaders to a side road
where the sleighing would be bet
ter. To gain the road it was nec-
essary to descend slight en-
bankment and when the sleigh
struck the sideling, it capsized,
throwing the occupants to the
ground and pinning those who
were on that side, between the
sleigh and those on top of them.
The six horses were off like flash,
and very fortunately the bobs were
torn loose from the bed OF the
sigh, utherewise those who caught
5sneath the sleigh would have re-
leeived serious injuries
II ',.sw Gale was driving when the
ceident occurred and was pulled
aver the front of the sleigh, land
ing on the ground between the
hobs but still holding the lines.
After being dragged some distance
be managed to crawl on one of the
bobs but the horses broke lloose
from the runner when opposite
Minden.
By this time the sleigh riders
had extricated them selves and
found that no serious injury had
resulted in the mlx-up, footed il
home, and while while walking was far
from being good, those of the party
were OF tne opinion tnat live
pedestrian was worth a dozen
dead joy riders.
