Lexington, n.y., March 6.-Offi-
cial reports received from twenty
nine counties out of forty-six in the
Burley belt give u total of 1Gj,2s9

held meeting here yesterday to re-
ceiye the reports from the counties
of the pool, which closed last Friday

Ell the showing made, which was
much larger than had been anticipat-
ed, it having been expected that pro-
badly not more than 100000 acres

clared to mean the unqualified sue
cess of the pool. President LeBus
declared he would recommend that
from 100 to 200 acres of land be
purchased and that sidetracks and
switches be supplied to accommo-
date the factory and loose leaf ware
house to locate near Lexington.
The acreage pledge is expected to
give the society from twenty to thir-
ty million pounds of tobacco to be
manufactured each year from the
total of about 200, 100000 pounds
which is the uJriual crop produced
annually in the B,n'iey belt. The So
ciety has available, it is said nearly
S400.0Ob IN cash and can besil Lusi-
Gess without delay.

Anderson Carr who killed his wife
late Sunday afternoon and then
sho. himself, after he had been p!ao-
ed under arrest Monday afternoon,
died that night as a result of his
wound, which was through his left
lung. lie was buried Wednesday
morning, from the home of his sis
iu. Alice Haynes, the body being
taken to Milledgeville,a and laid beside
that of his mother. lie said before
lac died that wished Ia be buried be-
side his mother. Before he shot
himself Carr is said 10 have given
his sister large sum of money. lie
always carried "roll'' with him.
Carr retained consciousness al
most until the end came. lie called
for Attorney N. ;. Alcorn and had
him make his will, IN which he left
all of his property TO his sister Alice
HAYNES. He is said to have been
worth two or three thousand dollars
lie asked that A. T. Nunnelley be
made his executor To- wind up his
estate
Those who talked with Carr
Monday morning, before he was ar
rested say that they saw that he
was prepared to do something des-
pcrate rather than be taken to jail
for his crime. DIR. john Cook. the
famous colored veterinarian, said
that when he saw aud talked to Carr
early Monday morning that Carr
was armed with three pistols. Cook
told him that he could not go into
court with the weapons on, and upon
his iusistence. Carr went home and
removed them. Several people saw
Carr 90 TO the Greer blacksmith
shop once or twice that morning and
il i said that Carr told n number
of hi friends that he intended To
xiii james Greer if he had the
chance. Mr.. Greer had hand in
having Carr indicted for selling
whisky Illegally. by the last grand
jury. and Carr is said to have been
very bitter against him.
just before he was taken into
custody. he remarked to John Cook
that il he was held over on the
charge of killing his wife. that it
would be the end of him. for he did
not intend To 60 10 Jail. Sheriff Me-
Carly says that if he had known Of
the threats Carr had made he would
never have taken him Ia his restau-
rant before locking him up. He took
him there. however. because the ne
gro had said that he wished very
much Ia give his sister some papers
and money he had and make ar
engagements about his business be-
fore going to jail. and the officer
merely acceded To his request as he
would to almost any prisoner. little
thinking of the tragedy which was
impending.

YANKEE GIRL DOESN'T FI1
Austrian Critic Declares No Formula
Can Define Young Lady
From America.

Alice Schalek, Viennese travela,
and writer, has provided the Vossiche
Zeitung of Berlin with a description
OF the manner wherein American
women on tour differ from all others
The fact Is" she says, you cannot
class them american women: they
won't fit into any accepted formula.
You can tell a Frenchwoman i'm
medfately, and be dead sure she's no
prude, but light-hearted lirt. If Won
meet an English woman you must wait
TO make her acquaintance until she
drops her typical English reserve.
"A German woman wants to be ask
ed about her husband and his profes.
sion, titles and their babies. An Aus.
trfan woman will be smart and A
good fellow But if you meet
woman who won't fit any of these cat.
egories and doesn't correspond to any
particular type. you can be dead sure
she is an American.
There is a 17-year-old whose IA
Their, mother and elder sister are
along, travelling in cabins de luxe.
She f1irts day and night on deck, and
all so naturally that she retains her
social position in circumstances no
other nationality could survive. What
has it got to do with your she seems
to ask, and there's an end of it.
Here are some pictures from my
gallery of American girls abroad. lust
TO show their differences. A girl who
petted white rats and snakes in Kyoto;
young Y. w. c. A. apostle in Corea,
VINO was as pious as the day is long,
but who fiirted to her hearts content
With a young English missionary; an
energetic middle-aged American fe-
male, who was missionary for some
OBSCURE Partisan reincarnation Of
3uddha.
There were other less pleasant
PICTURES, but each sticks in my mind
With an individuality which no Euro
ean woman ever achieved. Yet per-
APPS there is one feature common to
ii these Americans-each of them
ner1shed some eccentricity. but,
'hatever it was, she carried it out
18th unwavering determination.
Il believe we can learn much from
lese American women"
