FATHER KILLS
 ENRAGED LOVER Young Buckalew Threatens Death of Will Harper TURNED FROM DOOR Comes Back to Raise Trouble and Is Given Load From a Shotgun. Tragedy Occurred Near
 Cullman
TURNED FROM DOOR

Cullman, March 27-(SpeciaD-Will Harper shot and instantly killed a young man by the name of Buckalew Sunday night at the Harper home about 15 miles northwest of Cullman.
 Harper says that young Buckalew had recently been paying attentions to his daughter and he had been instructed to desist It seems that Buckalew then took exception to the manner in which the girls father forbade him coming to the Harper home, and Sunday even- ing late, went to Harper's house with pistol in his pocket, for the alleged purpose of doing personal injury to the father of the girl. MT. Harper was not at home at the time, but he stated that young Buckalew threatened to kill al most the entire Harper family, togeth- CT with some other people in the near vi- cinity
 After he fuiled to find Harper Buck alew is said to have gone away but later returned. This time the father of the girl was at home and after hot words had passed MT. Harper says the young man made an attempt to get his revolver from his pocket when Harper secured double-barrel shot gun and fired twice, one shot taking effect in the breast the other in the side. Buckalew lived only about 15 minutes after the shooting.
 Harper made no attempt to get away, but immediately after the killing started on his way to Cullman to give up to the sheriff, but he says that he was afraid of being mobbed on the way, as he has many enemies in the neighbor- hood, he stopped and telephoned to Sheriff Bryce who met him eight miles out.

Harrison secretary and treasurer for the coming year. The as sociation has about 125 members, and it's officers serve without salary. An effort was made to consolidate the Mutual In- surance association with the Farmers Mutual Cooperative association, which is an offshoot fromsthe former, the principal difference being that the new branch keeps 5000 on deposit in bank to meet losses. while the other allows 30 days in which to assess and collect from the members. for the effort failed and all connection will be severed President Reeder appointed an adjuster in each beat of the county.

IL Is, t0titiOic' ltSpSttlullN dShto . Why not the ways and means committee call now for reports to be made on specified schedules say, one each in Au- gust, September October and Novem- Der? As we have seen the board has had ample time as well as facilities, and we cannot presume that either Mir. Taft or the board would make any difficult ties If not seen before, it might be awkward and would probably be a loss board figures, for the first time, on the floor of the House.
 The request of the tariff board for more power, belated though it was, does not convict it of intent to delay, nor can we presume that any delay has resulted from such request The work abroad, where our laws could give no help, and the utilization here of Ilatcrial already at hand, we must presume occupied the at tention of the board while it was waiting on Congress to give it's compulsory power over witnesses. The duties of the board are important. It's members recognize that they can have nothing to do with policies, but must deal with facts alone. Naturally. they desired compulsory pow CT over witnesses. Now that they see this is not to be had, the work should pro- gress when they have such ample mon eys at hand with al least much rap idity as the President calculated upon when appropriations of only s75,oC0 year were called for
 Turning from the members. of the tariff board to the republican politicians, the facts here recited point toward the con- clusion that the notable Willard hotel convention was at least. so far as the standpatters are concerned, only get ting together of the discordant republican, factions on programme to delay all tar fir legislation until after the election of 1912
 One other incident is directly Tn point. Senator Culberson. when the provision appropratns 5,000 for the tariff board for 1911 was before the Senate, on March last, moved to amend by providing that tl5e board should report on three specified schedules by December 1 next The mendment was promptly rejected.

UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.

Bettinas writing verses now
She uses fancy ink;
Each manuscripts tied with bow
And every page is pink
Her thoughts take many weird forms,
Her rhymes go much amisS,
But, sooth, she has smile that charms,
Her mouth was made to kiss.
And when she trips into the den"
OF some fierce editor
And asks the most unloved of men
What he will give her for
A sonnet on the gentle spring,
Instead of yelling "Scat!'
He mutters low, "a peach, by jing!
She almost knocked me fiat"
Then takes her dainty manuscript,
AS If he really thought
The poor contents by him 50 gript
For gold could not be bought,
And huns and haws and says. Just so"
Pretending to be wise;
Intoxicated by the glow

prices paid by the consumer for f"rlD pro-
ducts. LII milk, for example, the reports
from the many cities where conditions have
been investigated by the department show
that the farmer receives about half the price
paid by the consumer, and that for transpOr-
tation the railways receive about seven per
cent. The retailer absorbs the remaining
forty three per cent. En- the case of poul.
try the farmers proportion is about the
same, but with eggs and other commodities
the proportion is higher Mr.. Wilson's con-
clusion from all the Investigations is that
the consumer, in protesting against the high
prices. has really no well grounded complaint
against the farmer. Consumers want lower
prices. Why then, pertinently queries tho
Secretary, do they not save the dealer's pro-
fit and buy directly from the farmet? There
are many farmers cooperative selling asso-
Citations, but, as he says, there are few CO.
operative buying associations among the
people of our cities and towns ind eed, aside
from the buying associations maintained by
farmers hardly any exist in this country.
The consumer has thus something to do in
working out his own economic salvation.
As Mr.. Wilson points out, last spring, in
some places where there had been overpro-
duction, potatoes were selling for twenty
cents Il bushel, and in some other places
even for nine cents u bushel, at the farm.

MR.. IRREhL ROBBED.
Left Almost Penniless.

The Paris police last Saturday made
known the particulars Of a peculiarly auda~
cious robbery, of which the victim is none
other than Mr.. Augustine Birrell, Mp
Chief Secretary for Ireland.
On Tuesday morning last Mr.. Birrell left
London for Switzerland, travelling as usual
by way of Calais and Paris. The boat was
very crowded, and on its becoming known
who be was, Mr. Birrell became a centre Of
attraction. One or two we'll dressed stran~
gers paid him particular attention, and With
two of them be passed some few remarks in
conversation. On reaching Calais the same
WEI! dressed men passed off the boat With
him, and saw him into the train for Paris
after the examination of luggage, ETC., was
completed.
1t was not till some time after the train
had started that Mr.. Birren had occasion to
refer to his pocket-book for o document
with which he desired to refresh his memo
ry. To his establishment his pocket-book
was missing. There was a hurried search
among clothes and luggage, but the pocket
book could not be found. Somebody them
drew his attention to the fact that his tie
was in disorder, and he then found that he
had also been robbed of q pearl pin worth
about 9100.
Further search on the right hon. gentle
mans part disclosed the fact that other
pockets had been cleverIy picked. In fact,
the thieves left him with only a few shillings
in silver and some coppers, so that he was
practically destitute when he landed in Paris
aud appraised the police there of his loss. He
was at once provided with money to enable
him to reach his destination, Vevey, in Swift
zerland, where he is now staying at the
Hotel de Tivoli, Couronne-
The pocket-book, which is described as
being :
contained nine &5 Bank of England notes,
numbered 97,O11 to 97,O19. There were
also four cheques varying in amount from
ESQ to 97O.-Daily Mail, 81st December.

UNCLE SANS FARM.

Year after year Mr.. Wilson, Secretary of
Agriculture, has been recording +another
most prosperous year" The fiscal year
1910 has proved no exception. A twelve
month ago we spoke of a total crop
valued at eight billion dollars and over this
year we speak of a crop of almost nine bill
lions. Moreover, the value of farm products
from 1899 to the present year has been pro-
gressive without interruption. Of our &C.
real crops, corn is chief, both in value and
quantity; aside from the normal increase,
the years distinctive feature is the empha-
sis on the South's growing Importance in
producing corn; q decade ago the South
produced hardly more than a fifth of the
National corn crop now it produces a third.
The South's agricultural fortune has been
advanced during the year because, in lint
and seed, the cotton crop is no less than
thirteen per cent above the average for the
past FIVE years. After cotton, the next
crop in value is hay. Then come, in order,
wheat, oats, and potatoes. The prevailing
high prices deservedly receive attention in
MI. Wilson's report, and we would call at
~tentiou to his conclusions. Of course the
farmer receives various percentages OF the
