JUST BEFORE DAY
Of LIBERTY DAWNED
He FALLS TO DEATH
Henry H. Davis. COunterfeiter,
Who After Four Years in
Penitentiary Was About to
Be ParOIed Is Killed

When within a few weeks OF liberty
after serving more than four years of a

years of age, of Kentucky. fell TO an
almost instant death from the top of
running board around the new admins
traitor building. which is in the course
of construction a the United States PEN

The accident occurred about $3.50 O'Clock
Thursday morning Davis was at his
work as usual and was carrying large
plank on the running board which is
five feet i'm width, when in some unac-
countabIe manner he lost his footing,
falling a distance of AZ feet to the ground.
AS the man fell he struck what is known
as ty-rod. which was about 20 rect
from the running board. Bouncing off
the ty-rod he fell the remaining q rect
TO the ground. The mans breast end
shoulders were badly crushed and his
head was cut in several places. He was
unconscious when fellow prisoners reach
ed his side. and died within few min
utes.
Davis came to the federal prison when

ROADS TO HELP FARMERS
WAGE BOIL WEEV|L FIGHT
Southern Ry. and Other Lines
Will Organize Cotton Culture
Department

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
WASHINGTON. D. c., Nov. 3.-Practi-
cal steps are being taken by the South
ern Railway company. the Alabama
Great Southern Railroad company and
the Mobils and Ohio Railroad company
to cooperate with the officials of the
limited states agricultural department
and the state commissioners of agricui-
ture in advising farmers in the terri
tory along the lines of these railways
which may eventually be reached by the
Mexican cotton boil weevil as to the best
methods of growing cotton in spite OF
the presence OF that insect. The expert
ence of the farmers in Texas, where
the weeviI has been for some years,
demonstrates that, by the adoption or
proper methods, practically as large
Yields of cotton can be obtained as be-
fore the appearance of the weeVll. In
most localities in Texas the invasion or
the weevil has generally been followed
by short crops, for two or three years
until the farmers have learned how to
deal with the insect.
For the purpose of making the coop
erative work of the companies as effect
i've and helpful as possible, an organiza-
ton has been perfected to be known as
the Cotton Culture Department of the
Southern railway, the Alabama Great
Southern railroad and the Mobile and
Ohio railroad, with a view to encour-
aging the adoption of the most i'm
proved methods in advance of the APP
pearance of the weevil. This, it is felt,
viii have the effect of maintaining the
normal production of cotton. Practical
farmers who have had experience in
dealing with the boil weevil will be en-
ployed and will devote their entire time
to visiting the farmers along the lines
of these railways in localities which may
eventually be reached by the weevil and
giving them practical advice as to the
best methods Of growing cotton under
boil weevil conditions.
Planters and others in these localities
who are DESTROYS of availing themselves
of the practical advice and assistance
of the agents of the cotton culture de-
partment in this matter are invited to
correspond with Mr.. T. o. Plunkett, gen.
eral agent of the cotton culture depart
ment of the Southern railway. the Ala
bama Great Southern railroad and the

An Enjoyable Occasion.

The S4th birthday of Mrs. Emma
Rapley occurred on Monday, January
3lst. Mrs. Rapley's health is very
good this winter, much better than
other winters. About twenty near rel
atiyes, living in town, took tea with
her and enjoyed pleasant evening. A
handsome birthday cake graced the
table, covered with white frostinp
upon which was placed i'm pink icing
the dates 1826-1910. Mrs. Rapley's
daughter, Mrs. James Wallace present.
ed the cake to her mother.
Mrs. Rapley loves to have her child
rem and grand children around her and
derives much satisfaction when she
can see and chat with them. Her son
Jesse could not be here on this occa.
sion but remembered his mother with a
kindly letter enclosing a crisp new five
dollar bill with which, he stated, she
must buy something for herself which
she could daily enjoy. Another kindly
letter of remembran came from
Harry Paisley, grandson, and his
young wife. We congratulate Mrs
Rapley upon reaching the ripe age OF
"a years, enjoying fairly good health
surrounded by comforts of life and
with her loved family so near.

Recital.

1t is conceded by many of the large
crowd present in Central hall last Fri
day evening that they never enjoyed an
entertainment of its kind, any better
than the recital given by Miss Strout,
elocutionist and her class in Yale.
Each one performed her part so we'll
that an encore was considered necessary
by the audience and they were willing
ly given to an appreciative people. A
class of eight of the younger pupils,
two of them only six years of age, went
through dumb bell drill which was
as neat and pretty as could be- Ruth
Menzies played the march for the little
ones. And the "pieces" which had been
given out each one seemed to suit them
exactly. All spoke without embarrass.
ment and without hesitation and with
so much expression as showed the good
training they had been under.
Jennie Sheehy and Donna McLaugh-
lin, private pupils gave recitations
which were certainly fine and deserved
the hearty encores received. Miss
Strout herself is no stranger to our
public, and is always welcomed in Yale.
Her selections this night appealed
strongly to each one. In "The Honor
of the Woods" there is much range of
expression but Miss Strout portrays the
scenes viyidly and well. Her "Aunt
Peggy on high art" caused much APP
plause.
The program was further enhanced
by vocal solos from Jean Drake of
Yale and Beulah Benedict of Brown
City, both of whom have very sweet So
prano voices. Mrs. Staley was their
accompanist. At the close of the pro-
gram one-act farce was given by Miss
Sheehy and Miss Strout which was
laughable and showed some good act
ing and fittingly brought to a close a
delightful evening. Miss Strout still
continues her lessons here and it is
probable that another recital may be
looked forward to in the Spring.

Pleasant Evening Spent.

Saturday evening, the home of Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. Holden was the scene of
merry, happy company composed of
members of the "Hold On" class of
ladies and N. j. Drouyor's class of
young men, two prosperous bible
classes of the M. K. Sunday School,
The guests of honor, also members of
the classes were Mr.. and Mrs. 4. b.
Newell, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Haynes
and Mr.. and Mrs. Emerson Cooper, who
are soon to bid adieu to their fellow
workers and take their departure to
other fields of labor. The above men
toned couples had been invited to take
supper with Mr.. and Mrs. Holden, and
as they entered the dining room the
astonished guests were met by Jolly
laughing crowd who bade them wei.
come and invited them to be seated at
the table which was laden with good
things provided for the occasion.
Supper being over the evening was
spent in playing games, social chat, etc.
One of the special features of the eve
ming was scissors game for the lady
guests. The promise of prize to the
one who first completed her task i'm
cutting, made the game intensely in
teresting. Mrs. Haynes and Mrs. Coop
er received 1st and End prizes respect
lively Mrs. Newell receiving the BOBBY
prize. On comparison however, all
three prizes were found to be identical
little gifts of remembrance from the
class, in the shape of sterling silver
thlmbles. While the classes greatly re-
gret the loss of so many of their most
faithful members, they desired to give
them jolly good send off, and we be-
lieve this gathering did not fail in its
mission.
