PLANTER DEAD; TWO HELL
WIDOW AND HIRED HAND ARE IN
 GEORGIA JAIL.
Man Confesses Woman Offered $500 and to Marry Him if He Would
 Shoot Her Husband.

Macon, Ga, Dec. 30.-Mrs. James King, widow of the owner of one of the largest plantations in Middle Georgia, was arrested after Nicholas Wilburn, farm hand, had confessed, according to the police, that he killed James King because Mrs. King prom ised $500 to him and to marry him if he would do it.
 King was shot December 12, while hunting. Investigation led to the ar. rest of Wilburn and a negro, James Barber, who, the police say, has stated that Wilburn told him he was going to kill King. Mrs. King is 35 years old and Wilburn is 25.
 In his confession to the police, Will burn is quoted as saying:
 Mrs. King had offered $500 to kill her husband. She said she wanted to get rid of him and promised to marry me if l killed him. He had $2,000 life insurance.
 "On December F l was passing the King home. She called to me and told me that MT. King had gone hunt. ing and for me to shoot him I fol- lowed him, and when he stopped to rest sneaked up behind him, grabbed his gun and shot him. He begged me not to shoot him any more. Just then he fell over.
 T put his gun in his hand and ar ranged the body so as to made it look like he had shot himself and then went back to the house and told Mrs King what 1 had done. She said was good boy and she thought lot of me"
 Mrs. King is the mother of six chil- dren. Her oldest daughter married a brother of Wilburn.

states dld not raise as many cattle as usual, owing to drouth. Farmers turned the pastures into wheat fields and the demand for beef increased. It was explained that the population of he United States in the last 20 years nas increased 20 per cent, while the increase in cattle production has been only s per cent.
 In Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota in the year 1911 many pastures were burned by the excessive heat and many farmers lost much of their stock This year q number of famers, fearing that the pastures would be destroyed. were not willing to take a chance on having heir cattle die in the fields and did lot invest in live stock. This also caused a shortage in cattle
 The demand for beef in this coun. ny during 1912 has been so great that he exports for 1911 exceeded this years exports by 24,OO0. The supply of cattle from the western states has been less during the year than in 1911 m 1911 the western states shipped 252,0OO cattle to the stockyards. In 1912 they shipped 190,0OO, or 5000 cattle less.
 The average price of hogs was ibout $1.50 head more this year han in 1911. The average price of horses was $5 head more than in 1911. The average price of sheep and ambs was 65 cents more The figures or all cattle, on an average. have ssen $1 head higher than in 1911.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

There are three ways to shop at Christmas time,-A Charge Account, t,-Pay Cash As -YouGo -or Pay By Bank Check The first method is ex cellent PROVIDED you can pay bank check later on. The second method sounds sens ble but is not always practical, convenient or de- sirable Bills paid with cash sometimes turn up later unpaid It isn't pleasant to pay bills sec ond time Even when receipt has been given unless it has been preserved and can be produced, the burden of proof lies with you. The third me- thod, the Pay-By- Bank Check way, is the best way,-because the check you write in payment is complete record to whom, when, amount The other persons endorsement is a receipt. The banks PAID stamp is evidence of final payment and the cancelled check returned by the bank is good evidence in any court in the land, We sug gest that you open your account here and do your Christmas shopping with our bank checks.

HAPPINESS A DUTY

To be happy at Christmas time is Duty. The sure way to be happy is to make others hap py. Have you heard it said, Christmas is only for the rich?" It is not true. It never was. Christ, born in a manager, of poor percentage, brought true happiness into the world The wise Men of the East who brought their gifts, sought no gifts in return, favors. The gifts we be- stow upon others this year will bring pleasure and happiness only when given in the spirit of unsel- fishness. The unwritten law of compensation in life says, We get what give" The sure of joy and happiness comes to us that give to others. Christmas is at hand. It is time to be happy by making others happy And happiness is not measured by the money value of gift so much as by the spirit in which it is given. Let us all do our Duty and be Happy. This bank wishes you the Merriest Christmas, Good Cheer and Happiness.

MILESTONE ABOUT
NECK OF SOCIETY
Rich Men Who Fail In Duty Towards
Town-Long Island Preacher Tells
Them To Get Busy.

Patchogue, l.. l., Sept. 29.-The
Rev. Louis H. Johnson in a sermon
preached at the Congregational
Church yesterday on THE Rich,
said that the rich mar who does
not hold his wealth as a sacred
trust is a menace to society. He said
that men who make their wealth
in a community should contribute
some of the wealth to that commun-
Iity. He urged some of the rich men
in Patchogue to get busy and show
their spirit, by building a hospi-
tai, a good club, with an expert
secretary, for physical culture of
young men, or some similar institu-
ton.
The minister said that riches
should be used in creating a health
full environment, and to better the
community where riches were made,
inasmuch as the people, either direct
ly or indirectly, create the wealth
of a community.
But" he added, "some commune
ties will not improve until there
are some funerals. The rich man
who blocks every effort at reform is
a milestone about the neck of soci-
ETY..
Riches are to be servant, not
our master. Men would not be rich
if it were not for the people in the
community. | should think that some
rich men, or set of men in Patchogue
would be glad to leave some institu-
ton that would be a monument to
them, say a hospital, a club or some
institution for physical training for
young men. Let them leave it endow-
cd with money enough to hire an
expert secretary to run it.
"The man who makes his wealth
in a community and dies leaving
nothing to that community, is not
only a failure but a disgrace to him
self, to the community and to his
God"
