CIRCUIT COURT MEETS AT JACKSON Convened Yesterday With
 Judge Henry Presiding A LENGTHY CHARGE Noel Grants Three Pardons Before Leaving for Washington - Ap- points Committee to Look
 Into Weevil Damage
A LENGTHY CHARGE

Jackson, Miss, December 5.-(Special)- The Hinds county circuit court convened this morning with Judge W. A. Henry pre- siding. As usual Judge Henry gave an interestin gcharge to the grand jury, of which Capt. Thomas Shields was made foreman.
 Taking up the several crimes enume- rated in the code, Judge Henry ex- plained the meaning, and told the jury men what was expected of them. He declared that bigamy is rampant all over the state and somehow or other the grand jures' were not paying as much attention to that crime and co-habita- ton as they should, though both crimes are enforced better against the whites than the blacks, though no distinction on account of color should be made.
 Special attention was paid to club life and gambling in club rooms, the jury be- ing informed that if the members of the club sanctioned the gambling or got q rake-off on the games, every member was just as much guilty of gambling as those who sat at the table and handled the cards, wherefore all should be in dicted.
 The blind tiger and illicit retailer came in for beavy jolt, the jury being re- minded that the finding of a government license to retail was taken as prima facie evidence of guilt.
 Drinking whisky on trains, being drunk on trains are also crimes under the Mississippi laws and should be enforced. The selling of tobacco and cigars to boys under IS years of age is another crime to which very little attention is paid, and the grand Jury was urged to take action in every possible case.

HnAr A CORN. PICKER WILL DO
A TIME-SAvING MACHINE WITCH rs DESTINED TO
BECOME VERY POPULAR

While the corn picker is d comper-
atively new member Of the corn
machine line, nevertheless II is ces-
tined 10 become very important one.
Before the advent Of the high-priced
help, and before It became SO scarce
the harvesting Of the corn crop was
not such serious problem. Modern
ideas and changes in the methods Of
living, however, have brought about a
shortage in the supply Of farm labor
This shortage In very pronounced
Especially In the husking season, when
extra help ia needed. For this reason,
farmers aro more than ever In need
of a machine which viii husk the corn
from the standing staiks---a machine
which will do the work of Eeyernl
men.
Heretofore. about an acre was con-
sidered an average days work for one
man. A corn picker. however. will
husk several times this number Of
acres. A corn picker will. however.
not only do the work OF several men,
but II will deliver the ear corn 70 the
wagon in much better condition than
lis done ordinarily when husking By
hand.
The corn picker Is not the inspira-
ton Of a minute. It Is the work 81
years. While necessity was the mother
OF its invention yet It was hard work
that oveTcame the difficulties that con-
fronted the designers or this machine.
One by one these difficulties have been
overcome. and the machine is now
perfected so that 1t doec a very high
class OF work.
The description of corn picker by
an expert follows:
Corn pickers are constructed much
on the same plan as the corn binder.
Like the corn binder, they take care OF
. single row or corn at time. AS 4
whole, the machine is comparatively
simple. Long. projecting gatherer
arms extend forward and on each side
or the row.
These arms can be adjusted So that
the points will run very close 70 the
ground. or higher. as the field con-
ditions require. When operating III

tangled. the points Of tae arms must
De run very close to the ground ii

70 lower the arms.
In order TO pick up and Hold the
stalks firmly until the swapping raHs
have broken the ear from the stalk
the gatherer arms are equipped Wits
chains which are provided with long
steel fingers,
AS the machine moves along the
points Of the arms raise the down and
tangled stalks. and the fingers or the
chain grasp them and hold the s.alks
firmly. until they have been forced
between the snappping rolls.
These rolls are especially con-
structed and are placed at such an
angle that the ear-corn gravitates IN
the elevator. at the side which carries
Il TO the husking rolls proper.
These rolls remove the remaining
husk and the silk Gravitation car
ries the corn to the ear-corn elevator
which delivers II to the wagon which
Is driven alongside the machine.

WINTER PIGS

Ordinarily however. the dairy
capacity Of the machine is determined
largely By tho quality of tho corn and

Considering the character Of ths
work such a machine Is required 10
%. the draft is exceedingly light, and
the power required 10 operate the
machine depends largely upon the
condition Of the ground and the sizes
OF the horses used.
