With Obstructtng Justice

the witnesses in this case to leave the
jurisdiction of the court. Debs brands
the indictment as an effort to ruin the
Appeal to Reason.
Debs declared he would fight the
case to the limit, that he would employ
no counsel, but simply tell his story to
the jury.
"The Federal prosecutor in Kan
sas,' he said, "hired an ex-convict, it
seems to come to me and plead for H.

parts unknown and start life anew.

ING EXCEPT WRITE LETTER
IN ANSWER TO eLEAsE.
(By Associated PresS.)

Washington, Jan. 15.-In a prepared
statement Senator Tillman replied to
a resolution adopted by the House of
Representatives of the South Carolina
legislature, calling upon him to pro-
duce evidence in support of his charges
of corruption in that body.
The Senator declared he had done
nothing except write letter last Au-
gust just before the primaries in an
swer to Governor Blease, in which he
charged the general assembly had
been influenced by railroad attorneys.
This, he asserts, was mere warning
and could not be construed as a re-
Election on any but holdover senator's
Tillman declared that public morals
in South Carolina have rapidly grown
bad in the last ten years. He declared
the general assembly had an opportun
ity now to "list the state out of the
slough of despond and disgrace in
which it now wallows."

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 25.-The Beu-
lah levee on the east side of the Mis-
sissippi river, near Benoit, Miss, broke
this morning, according to telephone
reports from Greenville. Unless the
crevasse is controlled flood waters
will flood thousands of acres of farm
ing lands in the delta counties OF
Mississippi. The break occurred in
the levee which gave way during the
flood last spring and great efforts have
been made during the past two weeks
to make it secure against the present
rise.

1857 CHILDREN BORN
IN MISS. in NOVEMBER
Special to The Ne11s.

Special to The Ne10s.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 25.-There were
1887 children born in the state Of
Mississippi during the month of No
vember, according to the report filed
with the state board of health under
the new law requiring the registra-
tion of births and deaths.
OF this number of births 1897 we're
white and 760 negroes, making the
birth rate for the state 1873 per 1000
population. The white rate is 23.7,
the negro rate, SS. No doubt the ac-
tual negro birth rate is in excess of
the white and these returns would in
dicate that the negro births were not
being reported. The birth rate Of
white children in this state compares
favorably with the states that have
been registering births for several
years.
1t is important that each child's
birth be registered. The records OF
births and deaths will in the future
often be required for legal purposes
Parents and relatives should see to II
that they are promptly reported.

PROGRAM FOR DAY CONSISTED OF
STUDY OF DAIRY METHODS
AND DEMONSTRATIONS.
|. A. Higgins TALKED ON
FEEDING DAIRY COWS
Emphasized Use of Pasture Crops And
Home Grown Feed-churnins Les
son was Feature of Exercise Which
Excited Interest of Students.

The short course in agriculture, un-
der the direction of experts from the
Mississippi A & M. College closed to-
day with practical demonstration OF
butter making by w. L. Bleeker and
L. A. Higgins of the U. S. Department !
of Agriculture.
Very few people other than the
students of the Normal college were
present at the closing demonstration.
Today was devoted to study OF
dairy methods. Mr.. w. L. Bleeker
gave a demonstration Of the Babcock
test of milk for ascertaining the
amount of butter fat contained. It
is by points measured by the Bah
city markets.
: Feeding Dairy Cows.
Mr.. L. A. Higgins explained what is
the proper balanced ration for dairy
cattle, emphasizing the use of pasture
, crops and homegrown feeds as much
7 as is possible. He especially recon-
E mended the construction of silos on
every dairy farm.
Specimens From Mcneil.
! Specimens of dairy feed grown at
the Mcneil experiment station, were
exhibited by E. B. Ferris. The ex-
hibit was made up of oats, beets, rape,
spotted and crimson clover, Bermuda
grass, silage and vetch. Mr.. Ferris
said he believed for this section vetch
is the best winter cover crop for pas
turage. He also stated that grazing
cattle on land in this part of the state
, did not damage the soil as in other
sections where it is sitter and for
that reason the full benefit Of the
manure from the cattle is obtained.
This is an exceptionally good section
for dairying, because of the proximity
to so many good markets that pay
the highest prices for butter, milk and
q cream. =. i.9s.Ass|

q The churning lesson in which surt
ID enough cream and a sure enough
churn were used excited the liveliest

Nazim Pasha's Blood on Heads Of
Powers.

Powers.
London, Jan. a5.-"The blood of
Nazim Pasha," said the leader of the
Turkish peace. delegates here, "is on
the heads of the European powers.
Their unfair and precipitate attempt
to force Turkey into the surrender Of
Adrianople has borne Its inevitable
fruit"
The Turkish plenipotentiary said
events of Thursday were to be expect
ed by any one who knows Turkey.
The Ottoman spokesman pointed
out that only two of the European am
bassadors in London know through ex-
perience what Turkey really is. These
are Paul Cambon, French ambassador,
and Marquis Di Francaville, italian
ambassador. Both of these, according
to the Turks, tried to dissuade their
colleagues from driving the Turks to
extremities. The Italian ambassador
used this expression:
''If we force Turkey to give up Adria-
nople and her Aegean Islands, the
Tuixs will turn into wild animals"
Osman Nazimi Pasha declared:
Now both the allies and the powers
have had a taste of what Turkey is
capable of doing, of what resistance
she is able to offer and what sacrifices
she is ready to endure. Nothing is
more dangerous than wounded lion" "
Some days must elapse before the
situation arising from the revolution
, in Constantinople becomes clear. AS
far as many be judged there Is no in
tention on the part of the new Tur
kish government to force matters or to
resume hostilities If any reasonable
compromise with the Balkan allies is
possible.
A dispatch from Constantinople last
night says the council of ministers
sat Friday to discuss the reply they
will make to the powers, and 1t Is be
lieved this reply while insisting on the
retention of Adrianople by Turkey will
point to Thursdays demonstration al
a real manifestation of the nationa
will.
The new government is finding dif
ficulty in filling the post Of foreign
minister. The portfolio has been OF
fered several of the Turkish ambassa
dors abroad, but thus far all have de
clined. Until the ministry is com
pleted by the appointment of sheil
