 The young man arose, his face flushed, his fingers twitching, otherwise showing 10 emotion.
 Judge Reed reeited briefly the history of the murder of NJ i s s Ella Barham and the arrest, triai anu conviction of the man before him.
 You have been found guilty of this crime by F of your fellow citizens of this county, concIud- ed the judge. Whether you are guilty. do not know. The mat, teris now with you and your God. The law gives to you sufficient time before the carrying out of the penalty provided by law to make peace with your God. This time Miss Ella Barham did not have when she was taken from this world, but the law allows 1t to you.

Judge Reed then pronounced the death sentence.
 Davidson did not weaker and when he left the courtroom he walked as steadily as the officers on either side of him. His father and his brother, Lair who is also under indictment in connection with the murder, walked with him to his cell. Davidson was taken back to the Carol County jail after receiving sentence, and will be confnek there until the death sentence Is carried out.
 Father a Broken Man
 Ire father of the doomed man K. M. Davinson, presented pitjabIe sight in the courtroom to- day A prosperous farmer, hon. pred by his neighbors with the office of justice of the peace. his mental anguish isreflected in the lines that have beamed his face, and today he appeared an old man, broken in body and spirit. He sat with bowed head while the Juu1e was sentencing his son eo the oWs. His friends say he is preparine to sell his farm and move from this section as soon as the fate of his son is fn- a .e5t.4d.
 The case of Lair Davidson, in- aicted as all accessory to the mur- der of Miss Bafham, was coatin- e4 utlI the July term of court. The bend of $500, which his fath- CT had signed, V as allowed to stand. The impression prevails that he will never be brought to triai. as it is 4aaes ally believed gn7t the evidence against him would not justify the prosecut- ioa in asking for q convection.

B STATES RATIFY
 INCOME TAX LAW
New Legal Statue Will Be Introduced in Congress at Opening of Spe-
 cial Session.

Washington, Feb. 3. Direct taxes upon the incomes of citi- zens of the United States, Wheth- CT derived from idle capital or from the conduct ot business, were made possible today by the ratification of h e Sixteenth amendment to the federal consti- tuition. Delaware, Wyoming and New Mexico indorsing the income tax amendment through [ h e i r legislatures completed a lis of 38 states that have approved it, two more than tine three-fourths necessary for it's final adoption.
 Leaders in Congress predicted tonight that through this author, ization, the law. which will be passed to levy the tax upon American incomes, will be intro duced as soon as the extra session opens. Its exact terms have not been decided upon, but 1t is believed, will exempt all incomes below $4 900 or $5,000 and will provide a tax of 1 per cent upon the majority of personal incomes that do not run an excessive f. gure.
 Here is a message of hope and good cheer from Mrs. C. J. Martin, Boone Mill, Va. who is the mother of eigh- teen children. Mrs. Martin was cured of stomach trouble and constipation by Chamberlain Tablets after five years of suffering, and now recommends } these tablets to the public. Sold by All Dealers.

Creamery Meeting.

The farmers held n meeting In Holyoke
on Thursday Of last week and decided to
circulate stock subscription paper with
a view to installing creamery plant at
Holyoke. A committee consisting Of
Messrs Borland. Peppard. Heller and
Mohnert wns appointed to solicit stock
subscription and The shares Of stock
were fxcd at s25.
This places the cost OF n share low e
nough so that II will give chance 10 In
terest nearly all Of the farmers who sell
cream at Holyoke and. In this way sc.
cure much better support for the
creamery than could be secured under
the plan Of making the shares OF stock

Cooperative Creamery.

There seems to be some doubt in the
minds Of some farmers about 700 cows
being enough to support q creamery.
Now let Us figure and sec, taking 100
cows for basis; We believe 700 cows
will average $50 lbs. Of butter fat, each
per year, that amounts to los, 900 rbs.
per year.
We pay 2 cents per 10. to the cream
receiver on each ib.. that would be
s2loo. saying nothing about the four or
ive rents and the express and drayage
that We are now paying on the raw pro
duct; this sum will pay good butter
maker 800 per month for one year and
and there will be 5000 for other expens-
es
That l05. 900 fbs Of butter fat at an
average price of 25c per n. would bs
500, $50 per year. under present condi-
tons.
Now II we churned this butter fat
with the 20 per cent over-run and could
sell the butter on nm average Of 30 cts
per Ib., II would bring $37. 500. leaving
difference Of sil. 555 In favor Of CO.
Operative creamery.
II appears TO us that this Is too much
10 give the Cream Trust from only 700
cows for one year: the difference will
build us TWO $500 cresmeries each
year and leave $3.50 for expenses.
Now my farmer friends let US nil get
ouy shoulders TO the wheel and push
this creamery TO completion; Il means
dollars and cents to US individually, and
I will be Of great benefit and interest to
the dairy industry and TO the eommuni'
i ~.
We owe Il to. Yourselves so let us make
Il point to see Borland. Peppsrd. Hell
Ter. or Mochnert who are circulating
the orgnnisntion.agreement. The shares
are s25. This should not bar anyone
4 from becoming a member.
wish you all u merry Christmas and

three times within ten years the gov
ernor has been compelled 10 call out

ORDERED BETTER ABROAD.

I'VE did not see a drunken man or
woman, an over-worked, starved
looking child street full of holes or
any unused land"
So writes one Of the delegation of
American engineers who recently
made an inspection tour of industrial
Germany. He saw other things which
are like a glimpse into fairyland. For
instance:
There are no street corner loafers.
The German railroads do not attempt
10 prohibit but promote water and
electric competition. The managers
Of German railroads are efficient en-
gineers-not lawyers priced for their
skill in evading and multiplying laws
to protect the public interest. There
are no contributions by the invisible
government as we have in the United
No doubt there were things with
respect to which the comparison
wouldn't go so badly against US;
things which, on a hurried trip, a
well-steered delegation doesn't always
see.
But if Germany can do the fore
going as described, it means just SO
much new hope and incentive for
Americans. who. let's assume. won't
long be content with inferior rating.

A True PROPHET-

Following up his prophecy Of sew
eral years ago concerning vacant seats
in the senate Sen. LaFolIette has
warned Sen. Ganinger and others of
his type that a like fate awaits them
il they do not mend their ways
Sen. LaFoHette's prophecies of the
past were based on the same premises
OF those OF the present, that senators
and Representatives in congress are
chosen by the people TO protect their
interests and are answerabIe TO the
people for their conduct. This is a
new conception the old autocrats of
the senate find il hard 10 accommo-
date themselves TO. but Sen. LaFol-
lette says they must do it or get out
and precedent seems 10 prove that he
IS right.
The new era is a decided innOva-
ton. IL comprehends a restoration Of
democracy in government. The cen
tralization. idea which made represen-
tatives Of the people dictators instead
OF dependents has been done away
with. Members Of congress are again
and perhaps more than ever before
servants of the people. 1t requires
an occasional reminder from Pres.
Wilson and such men as LaFollette TO
keep them from forgetting their
proper relation. but the necessity for
this is becoming gradually less and
less as the old members are displaced
by new ones.
Another idea that is disappearing
is that long service in the senate or
house OF representatives is desirab bic.
We have experienced the evil effects
OF il and are beginning 10 see them.
We doubt that there Will be any more
Bentons or Culloms in the United
States senate. Rotation IN office is
the salvation OF our institutions
