clerk of this county, who is charged
with murder in the first degree for
the killing of Charles Hickory Hull,
another negro, in this city last Feb
ruary, occupied the time of the circuit
court throughout yesterday and until
q late hour last night. Shortly be-
fore midnight, after the jury had fail
ed to reach a verdict, Judge Grace
ordered the jurors locked up for the
night
Palmer shot and killed Hull when
he was in Wilson Brothers saloon on
West Fourth avenue on the afternoon
o. February 10, 1911. Hull, accord
ing to witnesses, was sitting on pi-
ano stool when Palmer began shoot
ing.
Palmer testified in his own behalf
during the day. About twenty other
witnesses testified, including several
officers, but only five of them were
used by the state. He declared that
he and Hull had some trouble earlier
in the day at the Cotton Belt saloon,
and that Hull threatened his life
Witnesses said he went home, secur-
ed a revolver and when he went into
Wilson Brothers saloon Hull grab
bed the piano stool, upon whichshe
was sitting, and attempted to brain
him. Palmer says he then drew his
revolver and fired, killing Hull in
stantly, He afterwards went to the
home of Jim Jones, a local negro,
where he was living and later, at the
request Of Jones, surrendered to the
officers
District Attorney Nixon introduced
witnesses to show that Palmer went
cunning for Hull after the trouble
at the Cottpn Belt saloon. Testi-
rnony, to the effect that Palmer told
the officers that he went home with
the intention Of getting his gun and
Killing Hull, was introduced by the
state.

3fense made their closing arguments
last night District Atqorney Nixon
urged the Jury to return verdict of
"guilty" Of murder in the first degree,
as charged in the indictment. His
opening speech took up about SO MIN
utes He said there were two theor-
les. The state had one, he said, bas-
ed on the testimony pf the officers
from the confession Of the defendant
at his arrest and .corroborated by
testimony Of witnesses and the cir
cumstances surrounding the tragedy.
He further brought forth the argu-
ment that the coroner testified thet

MILK FROM DEVON WAS BEST
Celebrated Chemist, After ExamIna

Which Is Best for Babies.

Some years ago celebrated chem
list. after examining the milk OF differ
emit cows, made the following report
as TO which was the best milk to raise
babies on; The Jersey had too much
oil In 1t. the Holstein too much cheese,
and the milk from the Devons was the
best, as 1t had more sugar in It and
nearer the milk of the baby's mother,
says the American Cultivator. Just
then a young mother died leaving a
baby twelve days old, and 1t so hap
pened that the father read this report,

BEE KEEPING IS PROFITABLE
Every Farmer Growing Fruit Should

| know that many farmers feel

industry is an art ir itself and re-
quires no little intelligence and study
TO conduct it in the best fashion,
they are apt to be discouraged in
adding 1t to their already overfull

Nearly all parts of our country pro.
duce honey in quantities sufficient to
pay for the gathering. The amount
of honey that goes to waste every year
for want of bees to gather 1t is very
large; in fact. too large to estimate.
Every farm has on 1t fruit trees,
berry patches, clover or buckwheat
fields, all of which produce nectar,
