TAFT CHANGES
HIS PLANS
SOUTHERN TOUR Is CANCELLED
HOWEVER HE WILL SPEAK In
ATLANTA ON MARCH 10TH.
MAY BE EXTRA SESSION

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2-Presi-
dent Taft's announcement that the
Southern tour, which he had planned
to take the early part of next month
would be cancelled with the exception
of the visit to Atlanta on March
10th, started political tongues to
wagging with rumors to the effect
that his purpose was to prepare for
a possible extra session of Congress
in case the present session fails to
enact the reciprocity agreement be-
tween the United States and Canada,
which the President is urging strongly
as legislation needed by both coun-
tries.
Pressure of business and the fact
that numerous invitations to visit
many places in the. South were max
ing the tour which had been planned
too large in proportions, are the rea-
sons assigned at the White House for
the Presidents cancellation of the
trip. 1t is believed in many quar-
ing the decks of all but absolu ELY
necessary engagements SO that in
get his reciprocity measure through
this session, he can be prepared FOR
an extra session He has said that
he hopes to see it passed before
March 4th II
Fears have been expressed, how
ever, that the Senate will talk the
measure to death" or kill it in some
other way, although it is believed the
House probably with the aid of Demo
Gratis, will pass it.
If this should be the case, the
President will feel, it is said, thai he
can depend on a Democratic House
such as would exist after March 4th
to support him in his efforts to pass
this legislation, which he looks upon
as one of the most important the
present administration had urged An
extra session would force action or
the question, with the chances appar
emily in favor of the President getting
his reciprocity legislation
Having promised a long time age
to address the convention of South
ern Commercial Congress in Atlanta
on the night of March 10th, the Presi
dent was unwilling to cancel this i'm
portant engagement, especially as it
would take him away from Washing
ton for only two days.

Fort Howard, when eight hits were
made out of ten shots, has been beat
en-, according to reports which have
reached the coast artillery headquar-
ters in Washington. The reports show
that two new worlds records have
been established.
1.-TWO batteries made nine hits out
of ten shots, each in less than ten
minutes. The first record was made
at Fort Caswe1l, N. c., by battery of
12inch mortars commanded by Capt.
Gwynn Hancock. The time was a
second less than 10 minutes and the
distance about $500 yards.
.sThis record was outclassed in time
by battery at Fort Winfield Scott
guarding the harbor of San Francisco,
commanded by Capt. J. B. Murphy
which made ten shots, nine of which
were hits, in nine minutes aid So
seconds. The distance was abs
500 yards.

TERRIFIC
EXPLOSION
CARGO OF DYNAMITE EXPLODES
NEAR JERSEY CITY..-THIRTY
MAY BE DEAD
DAMAGE NEAR $1,000. 900

New York, Feb. "A cargo of dy-
namite in transit from a freight car
TO the hold of lighter moored at
pier near Commln1paw, N j., let go
at one minute past one o'clock yes
terday, $50 yards south of the Jersey
Of New Jersey and in the widespread
ruin that followed seven men are
known to have been killed, seven
more are missing, hundred were
wounded and varying reports leave
from fifteen to twenty more unac-
counted for.
Thirty seems to be a conservative
estimate of the dead and property
damage will hardly fall below $780,
600. The cause of the explosion is
variously attributed to the dropping
of case of dynamite and to a boiler
explosion on boat. Just what was
be known.
The Jersey Central terminal was
wrecked; three ferryboats in the slips
were torn and splintered; lower Man
haitian across the river, was shaken
from the street level to the top of the
Singer tower; severe damage was
done in Brooklyn and Staten Island,
and to the immigrant detention sta
ton on Ellis Island; the shock was
felt at AmityviTle, Long Island, SO
miles distant, and in New Jersey at
Long Branch 45 miles away. The
is impossible as yet to more than
roughly estimate, placing the damage
at about $1,000, 900.
The lighter receiving the dynamite,
the Katharine W., owned by James
Healing. of Jersey City, vanished
utterly with her crew of seven men,
including the master, Edward Traver.
Alongside was the lighter Whistler,
which was SO badly shattered that she
sank with her crew of two, while the
Swedish steel barkentine Ingrid was
stripped of her rigging and the lives
of two deck hands snuffed out. Frag-
ments of one mans head was found
swinging high on a tangled piece of
rope.
The Katharine W. was tied to the
outer end of the pier, and crew of
dock hands was unloading a consign-
ment of fifty-pound boxes from two
freight cars to the lighter when the
crash came. One report was to the
effect that the explosive was consign-
ed to contractors up the river for
blasting along the Palisades; another
that it was bound for Havana.
With the explosion the Katharine
W., simply disappeared; not sp1in-
ter of her has been found. Only the
Whist1er's flag pole has been found.
The. freight car went up in a puff
of dust. On the rear deck of the
barkentine Ingril were found a pair
of iron trucks. that were also torn
to bits.
Fifty yards back stood another car
of dynamite. The explosion ripped
the roof off it and broke in the doors,
but the dynamite itself did not ex-
plode.

FARMERS INSTITUTE
met here TODAY
INTERESTING SESSIONS HERE AT
COURT HOUSE. -.PROCEEDINCS
OF GREAT INTEREST

The Wilson County Institute was
held in the court house today and a
number of farmers were present and
exhibited considerable interest by
asking questions of the speakers.
Mr.. G.. H. Hudson discussed the
planting and growth of corn and also
soil improvement. He said that soil
is composed of sand, clay and vegeta-
BILE matter, and that the vegetable
matter furnishes the food for the
plant, while the clay and sand are
simply the foundation to hold the
roots. The plants are fed on the nu-
triment furnished by the vegetable
matter. If you should leach out burn
out or remove absolutely all the
vegetable matter or humus, you would
not be able to raise a crop, because
all the food matter would be removed
from the soil, therefore the necessity
for turning under crops that furnish
humus or vegetable matter.
The speaker discussed the depth at
which corn should be planted and
urged deep plowing, which serves to
assist il the drainage of the soil
Land plowed to shallow dept, say
four inches, and planted to corn, will
in dry weather quickly use up az
the moisture, but if the land is broken
deeply, the water is held in the earth
and the roots find it in dry weather,
and Sc does vegetable matter OF hui
mus help to hold the water and pull
verize the soil.
The speaker gave a list of the le
guminous plants that take nitrogen
from the air and store in the soil :
Alfalfa, vetch, crimson. clover COW
peas, soy bean and red clover He
would not advise the growth of alfalfa
because that requires so much timc
and patience that it might be dis
couraging to the farmers to attemp
| it. The time is coming, said he, when
| it would be found profitable here. He
urged the farmers to plant vetch
| which should be planted with oass.
both crops making fine hay. Vetch al
ways grows higher than the crop it Is
| sowed with. He also urged planting
crimson clover, explaining that vetch
crimson clover and the soy bean re
quired incubation, and the proper
way 20 inocu1ate the land is to plan.
a small patch of each and with
soil from these plats inoculate the
plat Of ground to be planted Thie
done by taking wagon load of inocu-
lated soil and spreading same over
the land to be planted.
The speaker then discussed the
great value of the COW pea for hay
stating it is worth 211a times the value
of fodder, while the fodder if left or
the corn, improves it's quality and
adds to the weight. 1t really does
not pay to pull fodder because the
farmer who does so wastes his labor
since the pulling of the fodder de
stroys the corn to the extent of its
value.
The saving of pea-vine hay, not or
pays from the hay standpoint over

HUNG JURY IN HOLLY CASE.


ter Two O'Clock and Had Reached
No Decision up to O'Clock Last
Night.
Wilmington, N. c.. Feb. AL
though the case in which J. G. Holly
is charged with the murder of Ed
ward Cromwell and firing the Rock
Spring Hotel to conceal the crime,
was given to the jury yesterday af-
ternoon shortly before 2 o'clock, and
no verdict had been returned last
night at o'clock
1t is case in which only verdict
of murder in the first degree can be
returned. leaving no chance for a
compromise verdict
Judge PEBBLES charge was favor
able to the prosecution, and many
who heard it thought it would have
the effect of causing the jury to reach
a speedy agreement. The opinion pre-
vails that the jury will never agree.
Holly has several strong personal
friends on the jury, and it is not be-
lieved that they will favor convic-
ton, as all of the evidence was cir
cumstantial.

MYLIUS IS
CONVICTED
SENTENCED To One YEAR IN
JAIL FOR LIBELING
KING GEORGE
The CHARGES FALSE

London, Feb 2.-With the demand
that King George be brought into
court, Edward F. Mylius, charged with
seditious libel. was arraigned before
the Lord Chief Justice in the Kings
Bench Division of the High Court yes
terday, and the most sensational liti-
cation Of its kind in a century was
begun, which resulted in Mylius being
convicted and sentenced to one years
Imprisonment.
Mylius published in the Liberator
an article declaring that the monarch,
while Prince of Wales, had morgana-
tically married daughter of Admiral
Seymour, and that several children
had resulted from the union. He was
tried ON three counts and was con-
victed On all of them.
There was an immense crowd pres
OiIl, lQhol OOO cbOuI IhO OuloA0O
of the court clamored for admission.
Public curiosity was at fever heat
because of the likelihood of sensation
al evidence, which Mylius has threat
ened to introduce to establish his
claims that King George while the
Prince of Wales, was clandestinely
married to the daughter of an adj
miral at Gibraltar, and that several
children were born to this morganatic
of the King was printed in paper
called the Liberator, published in
Paris, and the issue containing the
story came from the press late last
year.
| Many women were in the crowd
| which surged about the court, at
tempting to break by the guards and
enter.
| It required the efforts of fully a..
score of policemen to keep back the.
people who tried to fight their way
into the room after it was already
filed.
Mylius conducted his defense s..
person.
| Demands Kings Presence.
| Immediately after the opening of
court he petitioned the tribunal to
compel the attendance of King
George.
He gave three reasons why the
King should be present, summing up
| his contentious in the following
| words:
81 demand the presence of King
George, first, because the accused has
the right to be faced by his accuser
in court; secondly, because in a libel
action the accused must be in court,
and, third, because without the ac-
cused in court there is no proof that
the prosecutor is alive"
Mylius also demanded the return
of private papers which he declared
had been seized.
In pronouncing sentence Lord
Chief Justice Alverstone said that the
punishment was inadequate for one
who had chosen a weapon for a per.
sona1 attack upon his majesty. from
the use of which every honorable man
would recoil.

Missouri can better keep abreast of
