CONVICTED OF MURDER.
w. Is. Jennings, Known as young
Kid Carter" Boasts Bloody Deeds.

Boston, April III killed Mil
dred Donovan. That was only one of
many murders that l committed.
That is all have to say. What do
you think of that?"
This confession was uttered from
the dock in the superior criminal
court to-day by William B.. jennings,
known in the prize ring as Young
Kid Carter" just after he had been
found guilty of killing VIM. H. Mac
Pherson, a bartender, on New Years
day, and had been sentenced to i'm
~prisonment for life.
Boasts of Murderous Success.
In boasting Of the which
he had experienced in evading pun
ishment for his deeds, the prisoner
said:
at was a late as 1910 that beat
the cops at their W game in Jack
son, Mich. My pal, Bert Smith, was
found guilty Of murder in the sec
ond degree, but | got out of it. Leave
1T to me. | was mixed up in lots of
other murders, but they were in the
western part Of the country, where
they have no electric chair, and | can
safely say that no mar was hanged
for any Of the crimes that | commit
ted.
Il place the blame for all my trou-
bles with the police. When | was a
little kid they locked me up without
any reason, put me in a cell and beat
me. They did 1t many. times. If |
had been used all right when l was
young l would be all right to-day"
Why He Killed Woman.
OF Mrs. Mildred Donovan, Of Re-
we're, who met her death New Years
eve, Jennings said he invited her for
a walk, and hear a cemetery stran-
gled her. Her body was found the
next day.
Il killed her because | was afraid
she would squeal about some of my
climes,' Jennings declared.
MACPHERSON was shot by Jennings
during a bar-room brawl. This hap
pened on New Years afternoon. Mac
Pherson said just before he died that
he knew Of no eason for the shoot
ing. Jennings himself gave no rea-
son for the killing, merely saying: 81
just had murder in my heart"
The prisoners declaration in the
court room was not made until SEN
te nee bad been pronounced. Just as
the judge was about to order court
dismissed, Jennings rose in the dock
and proceeded calmly with his con-

SEED CORN.
Easy Method for improvement OF
Seed for Your Crops.

Editor Keowee Courier: Please
allow me space in your columns for
a few thoughts for our farmers.
The Most Successful Way to Improve
Corn.
Plant a seed patch off from where
any other corn is planted-say not
closer than 200 yards. Do not have
your rows longer than one a will
plant. A good average ear, 7 inches
long, 16 rows, with the tapering
part Of the "a shelled off, will plant
a row 200 yards long, the hills being
18 inches apart, one grain in each
hill. If any Of the corn is left from
the first a and the first row, do
not plant the remainder of that ear.
Instead, begin with a new ear, and
SO on until you have planted your
plot of ground. Do not replant. If
you do not get a stand sufficient to
leave, just plow it up and plant it
again.
In the fall do not pull the fodder
If you want good, heavy corn. Just
wait until it is good dry, then ga
Their Row No. l and put the corn in
a pile at the end Of that same row.;
do the same for Row No. 2, and so
on through, in like manner, then go
back and weigh Lot No. l, set the
weight down in your memorandum
ook, and do all OF the lots the same
ay until you have weighed all of
the CoTn. III gathering keep dill &C
count Of all missing hills.
Now, say we planted a plot of
ground that took IL ears to plant 1T,
and each ear has planted 400 hills.
Just for illustration, it takes 1870
ears to make a bushel by actual
measure. That would give is four
and eight-thirteenths bushels for
for Row No. /, but suppose 1T only
weighs four bushels even Then we
go on to Row No. Q and 1t weighs
four bushels and ten pounds; Row
No. 5 weighs four bushels and twelve
pounds; Row No. 8 weighs even
-four bushels, and then, after weigh
ing the entire lot, you should go
back and get your seed out Of the
rows that weighed most, regardless
of shape Of ears. You could select
in part the perfect ears for special
planting.
Try this. 1t is easy, and 1t will
| pay you well. (Other county papers
please copy.) M. G. Holland.

WEATHER CHIEFS HEAD OFF.
Willis L.. Moore, Head Of Bureau
Since 1905, Removed.

Washington, April 16.-Prof. Will
lis l.. Moore, chief Of the weather
bureau since 1895, and an appointee
of the Cleveland administration, to-
day was summarily removed from
office by President Wilson. His res
ignation recently had been accepted
to take effect July 81, but after an
Investigation Of his alleged efforts
to become Secretary of Agriculture
in the present cabinet, grave charges
Of irregularity were preferred and
the President to-day withdrew his
acceptance of the resignation, dis
missing Prof. Moore. Later he re-
ferred the subject to the department
Of justice for inquiry.
Secretary Houston, of the agricul-
tural department., conferred with the
President before the removal of Mr..
Moore was announced. The secre-
tary then issued the following state
ment:
Charges Filed.
Immediately after the resigna-
ton Of Prof. Moore, of the weather
bureau, was submitted to the Presi-
dent and accepted by him, charges
were filed with the Secretary Of Ag-
riculture by responsible men within
the service. These charges we're of
such "a grave nature that the Secre-
tary of Agriculture called upon the
department of justice for an ~investi-
cation.
. "The investigation Is still under
way, but the facts so far secured and
laid before the President yesterday
Were sufficient to warrant him in
deciding to withdraw his acceptance
Of Prof. Moore's resignation and re-
move him summarily, which has
been done to-day. The President
has also directed the Secretary of
Agriculture to suspend Charles T.
Burns, an employee of the weather
bureau, pending a further inyestiga-
ton of his case, and take such dis
ciplinary measures as he may deem
necessary with such other EMPLOYEES
Of the weather bureau as may be
found to have been unduly active in
using the public service for private
and personal ends.
The Presidents letter to Secretary
Houstol0 directing Mr.. Moore's re-
moval was not made public.
F. TI1~ IN 4. T., q a
White House that the campaign to
make Nh. Moore Secretary Of Agri-
culture had been e%xtensive; that
members of Congress in various
parts of the country had been can
vassed, and that a letter-writing
campaign had been conducted among
weather bureau employees.
Moore Seems Angry.
Prof. Moore issued a statement
tonight declaring that the same in
%fuences that attempted to disgrace
and remove DR.. Harvey w. Wiley
were responsible for his removal,
and branding as UNANIMOUSLY false
any intimation that he had coerced
employees Of the weather bureau in
supporting him for the secretaryship
or that public money had been ex-
pended in his candidacy.

STATE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
FavOrs Compulsory Medical EXami-
nation and Compulsory Attendance.

DulSOry m00lcal Inspection OF school
children and compulsory school at
tendance, walking hand in hand, are
crying needs of this day in South
Carolina is the opinion the South
Carolina Medical Association as eX-
pressed to-day. The most urgent
need at this time is the passage Of
laws to insure these ends, said the
committee on health mt public in
struction in reporting to the %associa-
fion, and the report was adopted as
read from the committee.
The committee consists of Dr.. Will
liam Weston, chairman, Columbia;
DIR. S. C. Baker, Sumter; DR.. E. A.
Hines, Seneca.
In the Child Lies Hope.
In reviewing the birth Of the COM
mittee the report points out that in
the child lies the hope Of the State
and nation. The future of the child
is not his to make, but must be de-
termined for him. AS are is exer-
cised by the medical profession and
the educator the child will cause the
State to suffer or prosper. Neglect
of the child means hope for the
States improvement blasted.
The report continues:
we believe that while there are
many fields in which the energies
and efforts of the association might
be profitably employed, the most
urgent, and at the same time the
most important, are the passage Of
such laws as will insure compulsory
medical inspection Of school chill
dren and compulsory school attend
ance."
Then follows the outlining of the
work done to obtain data bearing
upon this important work, and it was
further stated that it was almost
~conciusively proven hat compulsory
education, to be completely benef-
cial, must be preceded by compulsory
medical examination.
I'm conclusion" says the report,
1--WE desire to submit the following
recommendations for your considera-
ton:
What Can Re Done.
> ~. That our work be continued
along this line until our measures
become law.
90. That as soon as COMPLETE in
formation, now in process of collec-
ton, is received and compiled, it
be published in a special issue of
the journal devoted entirely to this
subject, and that copies be sent to
each member of the General Assem-
bly,, each physician in the a~ssocia-
ton, each newspaper in the State,
the presiding officer of each Of the
more important religious organiza-
lions and to every other inf, .,tial
organization that may be decided
npon.
"3. That the association tender to
the LEGISLATURE the services of its
members free OF large to conduc
the examinations of school children,
IF the Legislature will pass the bin.

our own position, we recommend
that the association give it's support

BIG ROCK SLIDE AT TROY

A large portion of a rock cliff
overhanglng the Great Northern
tracks about two miles east of TROY
became loosened by frost, slid onto
the track on Tuesday afternoon
and tied up traffic until Wednesday
morning. The slide buried the
track 20 feet deep for a distance of
about 100 feet. Owing to the slide
being in a cut it was slow work
getting the track cleared as only
limited number of men could work
at a time The first news of the
slide was telephoned to Troy by
Geo. Waters, a rancher living on
the opposite side of the Kootenai,
who was attracted by the rumble
as the rocks came down. The news
reached the depot just in time to
stop the Oriental Limited No 2.
All the west bound trains had to be
held at Libby till next morniug.

WANT THE DITCH CLOSED

An effort is being made to have
the old ditch, commonly called the
east branch of Flour Creek, closed
After it gets into the town proper,
the ditch benefits no one; on the
other hand, it is detriment to
property owners and a menace to
the lives of the little ones living
near it. Mr.. Paul Nells has fixed
up the ditch by his residence SO
that it is an ornament, but little
further down it is used as dump
ing place and it neither flows fast
enough nor is large enough to car
ry off the refuse. Further down
yet, near that edge of the town
which the water system does not
reach, it is used for washing pur-
poses and for irrigation. In times
of high water, the water backs up
and floods the cellars of houses on
Louisiana Avenue and is a nuisance
generally to residents on that
street. Petitions have been pre-.
sented to the council both for and
against the ditch, and next Monday
night was appointed by the mayor
as the night for hearing these COM
plants. Both sides will be repre-
sented by council and any yone inter-
ested should be present and have
this matter solved at this time.
The water is simply an overflow
from water right owned by Mrs.
B, A. Johnston and the supposed
creek is an old ditch dug by Mr..
Brown several years ago and is not
a creek channel.
