KAISER BROOKS GETS
PRIZE FOR THE BEST
SAMPLE Of PRODUCT
TAKES DOWN TEN DOLLARS FOR
FINEST DISPLAY OF
TEN EARS.
LARGE CROWD He 4RS MORGAN
Splendid Address to Farmers on Soil
anu Water Conservation by Emf
nent Acknowledgements Contest
Next Year Already Assured.

Kaiser BrooGs, OF Hampshire, won
the prize this morning for the nest
sample OF ten ears OF corn. The corn
exhibits, aourteen in number were
judged by Prof. Morgan, OF the Uni
yersity OF Tennessee and the entire
lot was then sold at auction, the
Board Of Trade being the purchaser
at $40 which Went to Brooks.
The occasion marked the close of
the Boys corn contest conducted by
the Board of Trade. The prizes for
the best yield were awarded after
which Prof. Morgan delivered an ear
nest and able address on corn culture.
The meeting was most enthusiast
tic one. The county court room be-
ing crowded with farmers and all of
the boys who finished the contest
were present. Enthusiasm ran high
and it was unanimously decided to
hold another contest on the same
lines next year, and more than 500
was subscribed
Prof. Morgan made an earnest plea
for conservation of the soil and de-
scribed in detail how at the expert
ment station land that the year be-
fore produced only twenty-three bush
els to the acre, by intelligent cultiva-
ton and fertilization had been made
to yield more than eighty-five bushels.
The corn display shown in the cen
ter of the first floor of the count house
was a notable one. There were four
teen samples Of twelve ears each and
all of them would have done credit to
any farmer in the county
Hundreds of people viewed the ex-
hibit and complimented the boys on
the fine work that they had done.
At the close of Prof. Morga'ns ad-
dress John V. McKibbon, the winner
of he first prize explained to the peo-
pie in a clear and most intelligent
way, the method which he had follow
ed in secu, ing his remarkable yield.

KITTRELL'S DEATH
DUE TO ACCIDENT
FAMILY SATISFIED THAT HE DID
NOT INTEND TO TAKE HIS
NWN LIFE.

Subsequent developments and in
vestigations have convinced the fam.
lily and friends of the physician that
Felix kittrell, of the Carriers Creek
section did not end his own life. This
statement was made today by one Of
the friends of the fanny and lead.
ing citizen of that section who has
carefully investigated the details Of
the case. Instead of being a case OF
self destruction the family and
friends are convinced that Mr.. Kit
trell's death was purely accidental.
1t is believed that he was playing
with his gun in a spirit of fun when
it exploded and ended his life. He
was given to daring little pranks and
being quite nervous it is likely that
the gun exploded before he expected
it to go OFF. This view is shared by
the physician who knew the facts
and circumstances of the death.
The members of the family stated
that Mr.. Kittreil was in an unusually
jolly frame of mind on the day of his
death, that he was preparing to 60
down the pike and remove some oh.
structions from the telephone line.
He was expecting friends and had d.
rected the darkies on the place to
have fire ready for his friends It
will be gratifying to the numerous
friends of the family to know that
Mr.. Kittrell's death was accidental
and not self-infiicted.

MAURY COUNTY HAS ONE OF
THE HARDEST RAIN THAT 1T
HAS EVER KNOWN.

One of the hardest rains ever
known in Maury county fell at about
6:15 o'clock on Friday evening. The

rain, fortunately, did not last long
enough to do a great deal of damage
The rain was followed by cooler tenn
oerature wGichh promises to be even

CLAIMS THAT SMITH
HAS CONFESSED
SHOOTING MATTHEWS
NEGRO TELLS OFFICERS THAT
FELLOW PRISONER KILLED
Him BY MISTAKE.
STORY A. II WAS RELATED
Jess Workman Says the Smith Negro
Fired at Matthews Thinking Latter
Was a Negro With Whom He Had
Had Trouble.

The Nashville Democrat publishes
the following this morning. Sberifr
Goodwin has had no report from there,
but expects to either go to Nashville
or to get some communication with
the officers there before Monday.
CODY Smith, according to a state
ment made Friday night to Deputy
Sherin Bragg by his fellow prisoner,
Jesse Workman, is guilty of the muir
der of Amos Matthews, a farmer in
Columbia Monday night. Workman
says Smith confessed to him that he
killed Matthews, but that the shoot
ing was accidental, as Matthews was
mistaken by Smith for a negro with
whom he had lad trouble.
Ever since his Incarceration Wor-
than seems to have been laboring un-
der strain, and yesterday morning
he told Deputy Bragg that if he were
put in the same cell with Smith he
thought he could learn enough from
him for confession, for he was al
ready sure that he was the man who
had fired the fatal shot Throughout
the day he was in the same tier with
Smith, and last night he called for
Deputy Bragg and told him that he
had learned enough to make it posi-
tive that Smith killed Matthews.
When seen by a reporter Friday
night both negroes still insisted that
they knew nothing of the crime, but
Workman At that time said that lie
thought he could find out something
grom Smith. Smith, however, stout
ly denied Immediately afterwards,
that he knew anything of the crime
What Workman told Deputy Bragg is
as follows
CODY did net come in on the night
of the shooting when | did, but was
out during the early part of the night
and did not come to the cabin wnere
my mother and l lived until about
8 O'Clock. had already gone to sleep
and was not awakened until every
thing was over. But what CODY told
me was that he was standing on the
back porch when he saw a figure COM
ing cautiously toward the house He
said that he thought it was man
with whom he had had trouble before,
and without stopping to find out who
it was, fired the shot which killed
Matthews. He did not tell me about
it then, though. and it was not until
after we we're both arrested that
learned enough to be sure that he
done it."
