PRESIDENT FINLEY SOUNDS
WARNING.
One Crop System Must Cease If
Farmers would Prosper-Inten-
sive Farming Urged Rather
Than Planting of Increased
Areas to Cotton and Other
Crops.

w. W. Finley, president Of the
Southern Railway Company, in a
communication to Major W. W.
Williamson, president of the cham
Der of commerce Of Savannah, rel
ativc to the agricultural develop
mcnt Of the south. especially IN
the cotton-growing area, calls es-
pecial attention to the need of dl-
versified farming and the aban-
donment of the one-crop system IN
order that the farmer may be bet
ter able to withstand the depres-
SION Of prices in some seasons on
cotton and other staple products.
by producing his own corn and
meat and food for his stock.
THE constantly increasing de-
mand of the world for cotton and
cotton goods, - says President Fin
ley, and the fact that by far the
greater part Of the cotton needed
must he drawn from the southern
states gives to this section an &C.
onomic advantage Of inestimable
value, At hesane time the in

products generally is tending to

erably in the education Of the far.

by agricultural students by dis

on the subject as can be obtained
from the Department of Agricul.
ture. He suggested further that
I Mr.. Williams communicate with
him on the subject and offer any
suggestions that may occur to hin
as to the character Of literature
that will be most helpful to the
farmers Of this community.
President Finley calls attention
to the fact that coineident with
the Increased demand for cotton
the prices Of grains, forage crops
and meat products of all kinds
are advancing. He does not be.
lieve that it should be the policy
of the farmers to increase their
cotton production by planting
larger areas, to the exclusion of
other crops, or the neglect of live
stock growing. He suggests, on
the contrary, that more attention
be given to the diversifcation of
crops and to live stock. and that
cotton production be increased bv
the adoption Of those methods of
seed selection, soil preparation and
cultivation which will result in
larger yields per acre.
Advice For Cotton Growers.
President Finley states that
there is reason to believe cotton
will generally maintain the price
at a level that will make intensive
cultivation profitable, but, he says

Relative To Whether A Case
Was EXtraditabIe
The Court Takes The Matter
Under AdViSement
Other Items From The
Temple Of Justice

Probate Judge Berry had perplex-
ing question on his hands Wednes-
day morning-one that was referred
by Governor Harmon to the probate
judge of Knox county.
The matter was in reference to the
case OF Harry Blake, a colored prison
err now confined in the Knox county
jail and who is wanted In Liberty,
Ind, on a charge of petit larceny.
Governor Harmon has referred the
question to Probate Judge Berry to
pass upon che question whether or
not the case was extraditable.
On Tuesday Attorney Lot C. Still
well appeared before Governor Har-
mon as attorney for the prisoner to
oppose the issuance Of extradition
papers in the case. Mr.. Stillwell
claimed that the case was not ex-
traditable for the reason that the
prisoner was indicted for a misde-
meanor and not a felony and chat
the indictment did not give the real
name of the defendant. Governor
Harmon considered the matter for
an hour or so and then decided to re-
fer it to the probate court of Knox
county to pass on the matter.
On Wednesday morning Sheriff
William NJ Moss of Liberty, Union
county, Indiana, arrived in the city
to take Blake back to Indiana, but
could not return with the prisoner
until the important question oi
whether or not the case was extradi-
table or not was passed upon by the
court.
In the common pleas court room
Wednesday morning the matter was
presented to Probate Judge Berry by
the attorneys, but as the court is in
doubt in regard 20 his jurisdiction
in the matter he has taken the
matter under advisement for shor;
time.

accumulate a stock of castings, and A
very small stock of finished engines,
from which to fill urgent orders. The
.'ast years business WAS discussed in
detail and those who were present felt
that beyond question 1t had been a
very successful financial year. Plans

ing year, In order to meet the very
substantial increase in demand for the

ness offered.

day OF This Week

The Knox county pet stock and
poultry show is now a reality. 1t
has been often remarked that Mt
Vernon could not support and hold
a good show of this kind and have
everything up to the minute and
complete but those persons surely
were mistaken. The show is in full
swing in the room lately vacated py
Mr.. William Weaver who conducted
pool room.
In a remarkably short length of
time, everything was prepared and
the exhibits were put into such a
position that they can be viewed
without inconvenience to any one.
At noon Tuesday, only few birds
8hree o'clock on the same afternoon,
There were three hundred and twenty
chickens of all sizes, color and des-
criptions. The attendance at the
show was very good Tuesday after
non and everyone very gladly gave
their dime when they caught the first
glance OF the beautiful fowls ar
ranged in row along the wall in
their respective coops.
A fine lot of turkeys and other
fowls, which were not in evidence
Tuesday Afternoon, arrived Wednes-
day morning and were tagged,
weighed and put on exhibition. The
management was greatly dissapoint-
ed at their failure to secure the two
fine turkeys owned by Mr.. p. B.
Chase of Washington, d. c., but \
message was received by the assoc
iation from the keeper of the Chase
farm that 1t would be impossible to
ship them. Still the absence of these
particular birds cannot mar the show
in any way. Other turkeys take
their place and probably will be ap-
preciated as much as the famous
ones.
Out of the three hundred and
twenty chickens on exhibition Tues
day afternoon, there was fine as
Bortment of breeds, among which
were the Buff Wyandot, Silver Wy
andot, Golden Wyandot, White Wy
andot, White Leghorn, Black Orph-
ington, Buff Orphingtons White Or
phington, Partridge Wyandot, Pit
Round Head, Red Game, Rhode Is
land Reds and Light Brahmas
No dogs were on exhibition Tues
day Afternoon owing to the delay ex-
perienced in the completion of the
kennels but on Wednesday morning
they came in bunches Dogs of every
description, large and small, common
and extraordinary. Three dogs that
are on exhibition alone are valued at
one thousand dollars. One is fine
bull dog owned by a man in Newark
and valued at three hundred and
twenty dollars.

to have one grand successful poultry

GAS BILL
For Public Schools For
Month Was $3lg.2O
And Goal May Be Burned In
The Buildings

The gas bill for the public schols
of Mt. Vernon for che month of
December was s319.20. This bill
and by reason of the unsatisfactory
supply Of gas furnished by the COM
pany has caused the board of educa-
tiop to seriously consider the return
to the burning of coal. For some
time, this step has ben hanging fire
with the board and the present situ-
alton will probably decide 1t.
