FRANCE no CHOP TWO HEADS.
TWO Youths, Both Under Seventeen
Years, to BE Executed.
A dispatch from Paris says:

This city, which has long been ia
miliar with bloody, scenes, will soon
witness the decapitation Of two boys
unless their sentence be committed to
Imprisonment.
The boys, both under II years old,
were recently condemned to death at
their 'ine aSsiZe court for the mur-
der OF collector In the service Of O
banking company. The two boys,
Georges Tissier, aged IT, and Paul
Drsmarest, aged 16, deliberately lur-
ed the collector with a $25 note to
the fla. where Tissier lived with his
mother, and while the collector was
looking at the document, they killed
him.
The lads had been brought up to
trade by their parents, respectable
people, and they were alleged to have
found about $500 in Andres bag.
They disappeared from their homes
and went to hotel. They soon bios
somed out In brand-new suits Of
clothes, and thus attired they pro-
ceeded to different cafes and restau-
rants, where they spent their money
freely. They were betrayed by two
girls, upon whom they had spent the
stolen money.
During the trial the judge asked
Desmarest who conceived the idea of
the crime, and he replied: "Tissier;
as ne mad been In commercial es-
| adjustment, he knew what | did not
how the collectors called"
Tissier interrupted: "Desmayest Is
not speaking the truth. 1t was he
who suggested the crime"
Desmarest exclaimed: 81 persist in
| my statement. How could l, who
mad never committed a theft. have
thought of crime? Do people be-
gin with mufder?"
Despite the Judges charge that Tis-
sier, who dealt the fatal blow, alone
was the murderer, and that extenu-
at1ng circumstances might be urged
In favor of Desmarest, the jury re-
piled In the affirmative to all the
questions. and the death penalty was
passed on both youths.

CLENlSON'S FEIsTILIZER TAX.
Estimated that Amount Will Reacl,
SSOO,OOO this Year.

Columbia, March 2.-It Is esti-
mated, that Clemson College will re-
ceive this year approximately $780,
600 from the fertilizer tag tax. The
amount received by the institution
last year was nearly S25O,000. 1t is
thought that at least 100000 tons
OF fertilizers will be sold to the far
mars of the State during 1911.
There has been much discussion
AS to how the fertilizer examinations
axe made.
The State is divided into fourteen
districts, there being an inspector
for each district. During the ferti-
lizer season it is the duty OF these
inspectors to draw samples from
every place where fertilizer is sold
in their districts and to send these
samples to Clemson college for ex-
animation. Under the law If these
samples are found to be deficient in
ANY manner, refund must be made
by the fertilizer companies. The SAM
pies drawn by the inspectors are
analyzed by expert chemists. These
chemists only know the samples by
number and do not know the name
Of the company manufacturing them
as has been charged.
