 Division of Crops

Clanton. December 12.-(Special9-Ed Martin was acquitted here Wednesday aft ernoon of the murder of Deputy Sheriff Ed Cox, which occurred in this~ county during the past summer The verdict was returned after only five hours delbera- tion. and came as somewhat of a sur prise.
 It seems Martin had rented portion of Cox farm, and it is alleged the two men fell out over the division of crops and the killing followed.
 There are five other first degree mur- der cases to be tried at this term of the court, and one case against two little negro boys charged with attempting to wreck a Louisville and Nashville pas senger train. As this is the last week of the present term 1t is not probable that more than one or two of the cases will be reached at this term of the. court
 The court is now engaged in hearing the case of Gene Martin, charged with the murder of another negro in clanton some 16 months ago. Y

Cats Need Nine Lives

From the New York World.
 At the rate Of fifty a day cats of the District of Columbia are being killed off by the Capital police force More than 2500 have been slain within a month and a half. The slaughter was ordered by the District Commissioners
 It is estimated that Washington has more cats than any other city in the world Cats eat the song birds on the capitol groundsand the squirrels in the parks They wall in the back yards of statesmen and make them nervous. They fight on Pennsylvania avenue at night and attract crowds that block street cars.
 But. even after the great slaughter, cats seem as plentiful and as trouble some as ever. The commissioners have decided to ask congress to pass law taxing cats in the district.
 An old Washington policeman, George BrintIey, says that the feline popula- ton of Washington was given an un- natural boost about fifteen years ago, when some joker inserted an advertise ment in a local paper saying that John Robinson, the circus man, wanted lO0n eats to feed to his animals on the day 1he circus was here. An offer of twen- ty-fve cents a cat was made, Nearly every countryman that came to the show brought a cat More than 5000 were turned loose here, as very few were carried back home when Robin son refused to buy them

London, September 14.-(Special) )-Queer Mary has put stop to the gossip about an impending bethrothal of her daughter, Princess Mary, to a distant relative of tLe Kaiser The Queen authorized her lady of the bedchamber, Lady Desbor- ough, to give the report flat contradic- ton, saying at the same time that she hopes the society writers will find some thing else to amuse their wits with. Her majesty told Lady Desborough that noth' ing is worse for young girls than putting the match making spirit into their heads while they are yet too young to appreciate the responsibilities of rearing a family.
 But Princess Mary" Lady Des- borough started to demur.
 Princess or no princess, 1t makes not the least difference" retorted the Queen. "It Is absurd to talk about marrying children"
 The Queen means what she says. And she speaks from the very bottom of her heart. While yet as young as her daughter is now. her majesty, then the pretty Princess May of Teck was being betrothed to half the princelings of her generation in Europe. If she showed any partiality for possible future ruler, she was welded by the court gossips out of hand. It spoiled her girlish pleasures. she says, and
  tect Princess Mary from the same source of annoyance.
 About the end of the year another addi- ton is expected in the nursery of the King and Queen of Spain. Which reminds me that if hereditary fecundity counts for anything, ueen Victoria of Spain is likely to make a record for the present century in the matter of large families. Both King Alfonso and his Queen can boast ancestpesses who set the world ex- amples of patient and ready endurance of constant motherhood for the achieve ment of great object Spain has need of a large family of Princes and Prin- ceses However large the royal family, 1t will not be half so great burden to the people as another war of the success sion in Spain-and the generation that can recall the wars of the succession that preceded the birth of King Alfonso's S father has by no means passed away. As family in Spain who cannot boast a member who fell in the struggle for the crown, it is obvious that a large family of heirs-presumptive to the crown means the passing-at any rate for time-of the

 Against this may be put the story of a wonderful Chinese joss which was re- gently brought to London from Shens. It's eyes were made of jewels, it wore a jade necklace. and Its coat was buttoned with rubies. A special portmanteau was bought for it. into which it was wedged in cotton, and a cabin was reserved for 1t on a small steamer.
 Passengers immediate baggage is not troubled, and the joss reached the steamer safely, where throughout the voyage he remained in his portmanteau. slung to the cabin roof as a precauton against rolling. It was sold in London at a profit of s10,000.
 The last curo worth mentioning was an embroidery of cock on silk. The fine ness of the work might pass the belief of any one not familiar with Chinese patience. The embroidery sold for Sl0,000.
