RAISE POTATOES

In conversation with a retail
grocery merchant of Tupelo we
were told by him that he had paid
parties around Amory during the
past season more than 81, 500 for
sweet potatoes. This was in ad
dition to the potatoes bought in
this county and elsewhere. This
merchant is one of a number of
retail grocery merchants here,
and it is to be supposed that he
handled only his proportion of
the potato business during the
season.
W. refer to the above to call
attention to the lack of interest
in the potato business in and
aroL I'd Tupelo. We have an in
creasing demand each year for
both sweet and Irish potatoes and
our people around town are over
looking an opportunity to raise a
very profitable crop. The soil
here is as we'll adapted to potato
raising as any to be found around
Amory or any where else in the
state. A fine quality Of bo'h
sweet or Irish potatoes can be
grown here an under proper
cultivation could be made to pay
handsomely. There is a fine
market right here f or home
grown potatoes, and if the farm
err at Amory can ship them here
and make money we should be
able to do the same with no
freight to pay.

The Senate has adopted a res
olution to inquire into the pur-
chase of Monticello, Thomas JEFF
ferson's old home. This historic
spot is now owned by Jew from
New York named Levi who has
preserved it as it was when Mr..
jefferson resided there. The
grave of the ex-president is on
the roadside that leads up the
mountain from the city of Char
louisville and bears a simple mon
ument reciting the name of the
great man who sleeps beneath
the mound. An organization is
on foot, headed by Mrs. Martin
w. Littleton, Of New York, tc
purchase the estate and preserve
it for it's historic value. The
country at large has been slow t.
do justice to Mr.. Jefferson's
memory with an appropriate
monument.

COTTON AND CORN WORMS

COTTON AND CORN WOHMS.
Cotton worms have made their
appearance, and unless due pre-
caution is taken they will do
great damage within a short
time. The worms, or caterpillar,
made it's appearance here a year
ago and a great deal of damage
resulted where no precautlon was
taken to prevent it's destruction
of the crop. The only way to
stop their ravages is with poison,
Paris green or arsenate Of lead
being most effective.
The first is a more powerful
poison. and it has been found to
be injurious to the crop. Arse
nate of lead does not are the
pla and in applying it it is not
necessary to mix it with .-Aything
else.
The method employed. by our
farmers who used arsenate of lead
last year was by placing it in
small sacks fastene4 to a pole
long enough to extend from one
row to another. This was car
ried on a mule aid the powdered
arsenate was thus distributed
over the plant.
There is great necessity OF
reaching the plant as soon as the
caterpillar makes his appearance
as he works very rapidly and it is
too late to have the poison
shipped in after he begins work.
The corn worm has also made
his appearance and many fields
have been completely destroyed.

there were four more ballots than
names on the poll books. and where
the judges supplied more names. IN
stead of drawing ballots blindfolded.
Mr.. Buford said the judge acting as
clerk failed to put down the names
ana they were added to the books. In
one case a lifelong Democrat, whose
name had been so supplied. swore that
he had voted. Yet the district COM
uaittee disqualified him. At Monks
Neck . judge had stated he drew
three ballots from the box blindfolded.
and they must have been all for Turn
bull, since he got only six there. while
nine persons swore they had voted Tor
him. Later q judge said two OF the
distracted ballots were for Watson.
and this would leave a discrepancy of
two.
Mr.. Mann here charged that Mr. Blu
ford was misquoting evidence. but he
was not allowed to interrupt.

by Mr.. Buford regarding the vote OF

At least, such Is the outline Of the
defense implied in questions put by
John F. Mcintyre, Eeckers counsel. TO
Sam Schepps on the witness stand to-
day.
Scnepps waz not given an opp0r.
tunity TO say whether he had knowl-
edge that such was the origin OF the
murder plot. for Justice Gof excluded
the questions.
The witness merely looked bored.
He bad spent practically the entire
day on the stand corroborating testi-
mony Of Jack Rose. Bridge" Weber
and Harry WALTON. the trio Of SELF
confessed accomplices who accuse
Becker OF having inspired the muir

Another Link.
Schepps added an other link to the
chain Of evidence against the defend
ant by swearing that Becker had asked
him II the gunner had been paid for
their work. He also testified he had
been the bearer Of a reassuring mes
sage from Becker to Jack Rose when
the latter was in hiding, ready TO
commit suicide at the home of Harry
Pollok. Schepps's part IN the plot was
that OF messenger for Rose In wound
ing up the gunner. but he denied he

foot. He aid not fully comprehend

clean breast OF it. to him. and then.

Mr.. McIntyre's efforts to break down
the testimony OF the witness resulted
IN frequent word tits between them
that Justice Con was obliged to curtan.
Becker's attorney tried again and
again to make Scheppe admit he had
been an accomplice in the crime. but
the witness appeared always with a
ready explanation for the part he had
taken.
Jack Rose told me to do It" was
his most frequent excuse for his vari-
Gus actions. ... ..-
