PEANUT ADDRESS.

Mr.. w. R. Beattie, head of the Peanut
Division of the Bureau of Plant Indus
try, United States Department OF Agrl-
culture, addressed the people of Rankin
county here yesterday at II a. m.
: He covered the subject as an expert who
thoroughly understood it, and commencing
with the preparation of soil, seed, Sc
lection, cultivation, gathering, picking and
marketing. .
He assured his hearers that there would
be cash market for their nuts and hay
The oil mills, at present prices OF oil,
can afford to pay at least IS cents per
bushel, but that commercial demands,
ewing to increased uses of the toothsome
peanut will pay more and that there will
be such demand forseed that $I.oo can
reasonably be expected for the next crop.
His audience was composed of business
men and farmers, who listened attentively
and it is safe to predict large acreage
in peanuts in Rankin this year.

PRELIMINARY HEARING
IN EDWARDS
CASE
GaliIee TeacherPIaced
Under $4,000 Bail
To Await Action of Grand Jury.
Facts Brought Out In Evi lenCe
Very Different From First Re-
ports of Galilee Affair.

Prof. Cleveland Edwards charged with
the murder of Homer McNair near CALI
lee in the southeastern part of Rankin
county, was given preliminary hearing
before Justice W. II. Walters on Feb. 2,
at Mayton and was granted bail in the
sum of s., 900 ia await the action of the
grand jury.
The facts as developed in the tria,
were somewhat different from general
rumors 1t seemed that the boy, McNair,
had eavedropped Edwards who was pay
ing attention to a young lady with whom
McNair was in love- and was discovered
by Edwards when some sharp words took
place between them, the parties being at
an entertainment given in the community.
McNair. after the entertainment had brok-
en- up, had left the house and in company
with two other friends was going to
spend the night with one of them with
whom he intended leaving for the Delta
on the following morning where ne had
already secured position. After going
few hundred wards from the house the
BOYS were overtaken by Edwards who was
accompanied by two other men. The
deceased asked Edwards why he had treat
ed him so rude and ungentlemanly at the
house of the entertainment and IT he
intended to carry out his threat to lick
him. The deceased asked Edwards to
fight him fair fight and at the same time
told the parties present to search him INC
Nair) in order that they might be sat
is6ed that he would make a fair hight,
as he had no weapon on him. He again
challenged Edwards to fight him and Ed
Lwards remarked, "wade into me-" The
deceased was merely lad about 70 years
old and weighed about I2o; Edwards was
mature man. weighing about It. The
Boy, thinking that the reply Of Edwards
TO his Challenge was an acceptance TO
fight fair, attempted TO go onto. him. 1t
was dark and the parties present were
unable to see what Edwards might have
had in his hands. But after they had
clinched, McNair was fatally stabbed and
fell motally wounded into the arms OF
his friends. Edwards fled from the scene
of the fight, and the boy was taken to his
home by the parties present, where ne
fingered for few days and passed away.
Edwards returned to his home in Simp-
son county and remained until the day OF
the trial. The above facts were brought
out by the state in the trial.
The defendent in the case did not pro-
torney J. J. Stubbs, of Collinswaayd M,
duce any evidence. The state was rep
resented in the trial by District Attorney
East County Attorney Stingily and At
torney ]. J. Stubbs, of Collins. The de-
fendent was represented by Willis, Ed
wards and Duthrie. Both parties are
we'll connected.
