TRIED TO SAVE CHILD.
Lost Her Own Life as Well as Tina,
of Her Baby.

A heart-rending tragedy occurred
near Eliza, Ca, on last Wednesday,
by which mother and her two chill
dren lost their lives. Trying in vain
to save the life of her l1-year-old
daughter, whose clothing was caught
in the shafting Of a cotton gin, Mrs.
J. r. Wilkes sacrificed her own life
and that Of her siX-montbs-old BABY
near Eliza, this county. The. little
girl screamed for aid as she felt her
self being drawn toward the ma
chinery and her mother, who was
nearby, sprang to aid her. She, too,
was caught and the baby, which was
in her arms, was hurled against the
floor and killed instantly. The moth
er and daughter soon perished after
being torn from the shafting.

PROFITS IN ALFALFA.
Southern Railway Gathers Statistics
Proving 1t.

The opportunities for profit;
which the raising of alfalfa offers
the farmers or the Southeast is indi-
Gated by letters received by the land
and Industrial department Of the
Southern Railway, showing increased
interest in the production of alfalfa
and highly profitable results in wide
ly separated districts.
4. Fort and Stone, Of Dunleith,
Washington county, Mississippi, own
ers Of a plantation in the Delta, re
ported that on IS. acres seeded in.the
fall of 1903 1858 tons were pro
duced at 4 cost. of s593.05. They
figured this hay to be worth SIS per
ton in the barn, though hay was sell
ing $40 tc $23 per ton. At this low
rating they received profit of ST.
$40 on the rs acres, the hay costing
them only $3.47 per ton. Reports
from the Delta show that about SO
farmers are now growing alfalfa
with success, all having seeded their
fields in the last three or four years.
j.. w. Fisher, of Newport, in the
East Tennessee, writes that he is
greatly pleased with results having
averaged five tons per acre and find
ing a ready sale at S22 per ton, but
he has found the hay so good that
he prefers feeding it to his own
stock to selling it. He has grown
alfalfa on the upland, red, calcarious
clay, general throughout East Ten
nessee. Success in growing alfalfa
is also reported by growers in South
crn Virginia, North Carolina and
Alabama, and the acreage devoted TO
alfalfa in all the Southeastern States
is growing steadily.

Substantially unchanged, Repre-

The temper of the house was indi-
Gated before the final test by the
vote on motion to continue, "A to

refused to strike out the enacting

Messrs. Belser, Williams, Davis,

Browning and Hines.

Senator LeGrand Walker, o.
Georgetown, speaking in the senate
tonight on the merger resolution
made his characteristic. ringing
speech, and claimed the attention O.
the entire body. Senator Walker
said if constitutional oaths are vic

the decision of Judge Shipp would b.
seconded by the Legislative body. HI

breaking Of the merger would be (;

yanced the proposition that ever!
time the railroad commission order

lease was being approved. A prop

Let the Editors Remember.

The Republican editors of West
Virginia held great meeting al
Charleston Monday night. The
spirit manifested in that meeting
was such as to presage valiant and
effective work tor the party in the
months TO come. The editors were
persuasive influences in bringing
about a satisfactory adjustment OF
party troubles, and mucb of the
credit for what has Happened, is
due TO their earnest counsel. But
1T might as well be frankly stated
here that the editors have, in the
past, been not entirely gUiltless
They have, actuated by honest mo-
tlves, no doubt, contributed, some
what to the disturbances of the
party peace. No insurgent moye-
ment, no overradical usurpation
could thrive without newspaper
support. And if all Republican
newspapers would weigh calmly
the probable effects of all their
statements and would be as con-
servative and painstaking as the
seem to expect all other party
agents to be, not half the trouble
with which the party has been
afflicted in the past would be posi-
BILE in the future. Huntington
Herald-Dispatch.
Perhaps some newspapers have
gone little too far in condemning
the misuse Of power in the hands
of few of the leaders of the Re
publican party in West Virginia,
but tie best class of our citizenship
admire fearless press that will
tell of the wrong doings of its
o yn party, as we'll as the rascality
In the opposite party.
Although the defeat Of the G.. O.
j. Of the state, at the last general
election was great blow TO many
Republicans Who imagined that the
Idnk ana ME would stand anything,
yet we believe that that defeat will
prove blessing. Now all are as
sured a fair deal. The state com.
mittee will be free Of state and
federal oflice.holders and the masses
will name the candidates, thereby
doing away with packed mass con.
ventlons which could not help to
bring the blush Of shame TO anv
honest man. Hereafter we will
not have a roll of delegates pre-.
pared in advance for state conven.
tions nor conventions without a
credentials committee.
All these reforms were brought
about largely by an Independent
Republican press that love the rank
and file Of the party and for them
will fight for that which is right.
and fair, and just.
