NEW DESKS AND
FURNITURE FOR
co. SCHOOLS
LARGE SHIPMENT HAS BEEN RE-
CEIVED BY SUPERINTENDENT
TRIBUTED IN TIME FOR OPEN
ING OF SCHOOLS THIS FALL.

A large shipment of desks and other
school furniture arrived yesterday and
will be distributed among the new
school houses in Escambia county
which have been built and those which
have been enlarged and improved dur
ing the past summer. The supplies
were stored at the court house and
were inspected yesterday afternoon by
superintendent Cook and Prof. Cav
thon.
During the summer several school
houses have been built in the county,
while a number more have been re-
paired and enlarged on account of the
expected increase in the attendance for
the coming school year.
The desks and supplies will be dis
tributed as rapidly as possible and it
is thought that before the opening Of
the schools this fall all of them will be
supplied with the necessary furnish
ings, which will add greatly to the
comfort and usefulness of the school
houses, thus making the teachers and
pupils able to do much more satisfac-
tory work.

stood on the running board.

highly respected citizen of our com
munity has told you how he condoled
with the accused at the scene of the
murder soon after it happened and
gave you the very words of the ~pris-

very one that had killed his wife"
Please read to the jury, Mr.. Greg
ory." interrupted Judge Watson, "the
testimony of Major Patton on this
point"
Mr.. Gregory read the portion re-
ferred to, first corroborating his own
statement as to the identification of
the gun and then pointing to the con-
f1icting remarks of the accused when
he first told Major Patton that he
thought the man had been standing in

later declared the alleged highwayman

that his character is perfect. There
have been disclosed here his relations
with Beulah Binford, which show that
he is not a perfect man, but is that
phase of his character an issue? There
is nothing, I say, gentlemen, in his
character which would indicate that
he is the cold FLOODED brute who COM
mitted this crime"
PRISONER SHED TEARS.
During the speech Of Mr.. Carter,
tears streamd down the face Of the
prisoner and he brushed them aside
nervously with his handkerchief.
Hill Carter then began the plea for
the defense. Pointing to the unsullied
character Of the father of the prisoner,
Mr.. Carter retold the testimony of
Henry c. Beattie, ST., on the stand.
That father" said Mr.. Carter, told
you how the son sobbed and grieved
over the death of his wife and I know
you will believe the parent closest to
him as he contradicts what other wit
nesses say of the lack of manifesto
tons of grief on the part Of the &C
cused."
He argued that there was no motive
for young Beattie to kill his wife, as
the father had pictured the warm af-
lection between the couple He ar
raigned the detectives who, he declared,
had 'mercilessly worked up the case
and cast unsupported suspicious"
Repeatedly pointing to the instruc-
tons to the jury as to circumstantial
evidence and as to reasonable doubt, y
Mr.. Garter assailed the veracity OF
Paul Beattie.
Mr.. Carter had not finished his re-
marks when the court took a recess.

clusion of guilt before a conviction can
be had. Each individual juror must be
satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt OF
the defendants guilt before he can,
under his oath, consent to q verdict of
guilty. Each juror should feel the re-
sponsibility resting upon him as a
member of the jury and should realize
that his own mind must be convinced
beyond a reasonable doubt of the de-
PENDANTS guilt before he can consent
to a verdict of guilty. Therefore, if

happened. A short twelve months ago
DR.. Wilson was president of the Uni
versity of Princeton, quite out of the
line of politics and political promo
ton. Today Governor Wilson, of New
jersey, is regarded all over the con-
tinent as quite in line for the presi-
dency of the United States.
From Polk, in 1874, to Roosevelt, in
1900, there were only three actual
chief magistrates. who were so much
as thought Of for the chief magistracy
two years in advance of their nomina-
ton. The list, beginning with Polk.
includes Taylor, Pierce, Lincoln,
Hayes, Garfield, Cleveland and Harri-
son, the exceptions being Buchanan,
Grant and Mckinley. Even the vice
presidents who succeeded to the pres
idency, like Arthur and Roosevelt
seemed impossible.
Woodrow Wilson stands before the
people today as that rarest of
phenomena, a public man who, ele-
waited to Office, faithfully keeps his
pre- election promises.
When he indicated his willingness
to resign the presidency of Prince
ton and lead his party as a candi-
date for governor of New Jersey he
was looked upon as an interesting
but mistaken gentleman; when he ap-
peared "on the stump" in effective
speeches with political sagacity. he
became a factor seriously to be con-
sidered; when he won the election. he
took rank as a national character;
and since he has put on the robes of
office, he has displayed qualities that
reveal his equipment for a part in
public affairs for which no other man
in the nation seems equally fitted.
Assuredly that is the kind of man
for the times and the kind of man
militant Democracy has long been
looking for.
