Other Points Involved.
The first and second exceptions as
sign error in admitting testimony as
10 the killing of Tony T.eaman and Of
Alexander Ray, when the Indictment
alleges the killing Of Ida Nelsl Il. The
testimony submitted was to the effect
that Tony Leaman and Ida Nelson
were shot at the house where Ida
Nelson lived at the same tim, AMI
that Alex Ray was shot about one
hour later and about one nile dis
tant the same night. That Claude
ferguson and defendant Davis were
together the evening Of the hoclicide.
and that Davis wanted to borrow a
pistol from Mack Harris, stating that
he was in trouble because Alax Raw
had taken his wife to Poplar Springs:
that thereafter a gun was produced
that night Claude Ferguson and de-
PENDANT Davis went 20 the house of
Ida Nelson, with whom Claude Fergu-
son was Intimate. and that Davis cali
ed Ida, and when the door was open-
ed he went in and Ferguson followed,
having the gun, and Immediately shot
Tony Loaman and then instantly shot
loa nelson in her bed, and again shot
hpr -,
The house. There was testimony that
Davis voluntarily admitted to John
-. Owings, sheriff, that shortly after
ferguson and Davis left the place
Davis said to Ferguson: Now YOU
have done your work, YOU can go
with me to do my work" that the
oerendant proceeded to Alex Rays
house and Ferguson called Ray out.
and Davis, who had the gun, shot
and killed Ray. Davis admitted 70
sheriff Owings that he shot Ray, but
at fergusOn's command.
The circumstances were sufficient TO
convict Davis with all the homicidcs
as part or connected scheme Of
murder and rendered the testimony
competent
From what has been said il appears
that there was testimony To sustain
the allegation that defendant Davis
killed Ida Nelson, as it appears that
n" was present aiding and abetting.
MI persons present aiding and ahct-
ing murder are regarded as prin-
cipals and equally guilty. State VS..

DO NOT LET YOUR COLDS
TURN TO CATARRH

An eminent authority says, The
vital principle in the treatment of
nasal catarrh is through local cleanli-
ness. 1t is useless to employ medi-
Gated sprays or inhalers because the
diseased mucous membrane is incased
in hardened seCretlvns so that the
medicinal agents cannot reach the dis
eased parts
There is nothing equal to Paxtine
for curing and preventing Catarrh.
This is due to the great cleansing.
healing and germicidal power of
PaXtine.
Paxtine is a pure white, soluble
powder. Just a little in a glass of
water makes a delightful antiseptiL
solution of extraordinary cleansing
germicidal and deodorizing power. 1t
absolutely removes all accumulated
secretions in the nasal passages and
thoroughly cleanses the diseased mu-
cous membrane lining. Its influence
is healing and it destroys the germs
of disease and dispels all disagreeable
odorS.
Paxtine users need never fear a cold
turning into catarrh. PaXtine is solu

SCIENTISTS ELA1ED
BY CARNEGIE GIFT
Students Declare Additional
Gift of $4,000, 1000 Means
Much to Public. =,

Washington scientists and students to-
day are elated over the announcement
by Andrew Carnegie that he has made
an additional donation of 100000 to
the Carnegie Institution here, declaring
that it is evidence that the work car
ried on under the direction of the Wash
ington officials Of the institution has
been of great Importance.
The additional gift makes the total
amount appropriated to the institution
reach a total Of S25,OO0,OOO. and brings
the total of Mr.. Carnegie's phiIanthro-
pies close to the $500, 900 mark.
In making the announcement Of the
additional gift, in New York yesterday,
Mr.. Carnegie declared that the insti-
tuition had more than fulfilled the mis-
sion for which it was founded, and that
the one work of making new charts of
the oceans means more to humanity
than the money means to him. He calls
attention to the fact that the correction
of the maps has exonerated a British
sea captain who ran his ship upon the
rocks as result of faulty charts. This
work is done by the non-magnetIc
steamer, Carnegie, whic was Duilt of
wood and bronze, with no iron work in
it. to avoid any possibility of magnetic
disturbances
Mr.. Carnegie also calls attention to
the fact that more than 5000 new
worlds have been discovered by Prof
Hale, in charge of the institution obser-
vatory atSMt. Wilson, California. There
is now being built for the observatory
telescope with a lens 100 inches in
diameter. the greatest in the world.
Additional important discoveries are ex-
pected to be made with this instrument.
