I have often remarked in England a

monumental, the one which makes the
British museum look like drawing school
or an Office with it's waiting rooms, in
stead of a palace. Here. even in this
palace of Hampton court there is the

Others Won't Plead Guilty.

New Orleans, lathe three 9TH
er members of the cotton bull
pool" indicted jointly with James
A. Patten in connection with the cot
ton bull campaign of three years ago,
will not plead guilty to the federal
indictments in New York, according
to a statement given to the Asso-
ciated Press today by William P.
Brown.
Mr.. Brown was not at all surpris-
ed when informed that Patten had
entered a plea of guilty.
81 expected it," he said. 81 do
not care to discuss the case, but you
can say that Hayne, Scales and my
self will not plead guilty, for the
reason that we would perjure our
selves if we did so, as we are not
guilty of a single one of the charges
that have been made against us"
Frank B. Hayne said: eve were
aware that Mr. Patten intended to
plead guilty, but that does not aHect
the balance of us. Personally l
would consider that l had stultified
myself if 1 pleaded guilty to a case
that I knew I was not guilty Of.
Both Mr.. Brown and Mr.. Hayne
are residents of New Orleans. Eu-
gene G. Scales, the fourth member
of the pool under indictments, lives
at Waco, Texas. They are counted

THREE CHEERS FOR HARRIS
Rural Georgia Appreciates His Work
as State Senator in Improving the
Agricultural Department.

ATLANTA cheers for
Harris of Cedartown" was the en-
thusiastic message that came from
North Georgia farmer lad day or
two ago in a letter thanking the
state senator for putting through the
new inspection law, by which the
agricultural colleges of the state are
already benefting to the extent of
about $4,000 a year.
Three cheers for Harris seems
to express better than anything that
has yet been said how sincere is the
appreciation throughout rural Geor-
gia for the work accomplished by
Senator w. j. Harris in bringing
about this change. Leading plant
ers and educators have declared that
this work-formulating and putting
this new measure through the leg
islature-is one of the most import
ant for the cause of agricultural
education that has ever been under
taken in Georgia.
The many expressions of appreci-
alton which the senator is receiving
from agricultural students and pros
pective students is pleasing him very
much indeed, for ever since he was
lad himself, struggling for an edu-
cation, going to college part of the
time and teaching the remainder of
the time in a rural Georgia school,
he has had closely at heart the inter-
ests of rural and agricultural edu-
cation.

FINDS WAY TO FIGHT WEEVIL
THE PLAN OF A LARGE PLANT
Err IN MISSISSIPPI STATE.
Saws He Is Now Growing Bale to
the Acre on Land That Was Prac-
tically Ruined by the Pest.

Considerable interest centers
about the announcement few days
ago from Vicksburg, Miss, that Ed
ward Neuwirth, a wealthy land own
-er and cotton planter of Mississippi,
had found a method for the produc-
ton of cotton despite the ravages OF
the destructive cotton boil weevil.
AS to whether or not there is any
real merit to the plans advocated
and practiced by the Mississippi
planter suffice it to say that the cot
ton trade of Vicksburg was suffi-
GENTLY impressed with the possibili-
ties of the proposition to hold a
special meeting at the Vicksburg ex-
change, when large number of peo-
ple were on hand to hear an address
by Mr.. Neuwirth on the subject.
Remove Squares.
His plan, in brief, is to remove
the perforated squares, which he
saws is absolutely essential, and to
spray the leaves of the growing
plants when the weevil makes its
appearance on the green dress" OF
the cotton plant. Deep blowing and
perfect drainage are also advocated
in precautionary methods in com
batting the weevil pest. He declares
that through his method cotton lands
practically ruined by the weevil are
made to produce one bale to the
acre.
The personal superintendent OF
the white farmer is absolutely es-
sential, as a sharp watch must be
kept for the perforated squares, and
for this reason a man who intends
to make a success of cotton planting
despite the weevil must stay on his
farm.
Mr.. Neuwirth also strongly adVo-
Gates diversified crops, such as corn
and peas and hogs, to give steady
revenue while the farmer is waglng
a persistent war on the boil weevll
He stated that families working on
the tenant plan, originally bankrupt
ed by the weevil destruction, have
under his Instructions, produced
from six to eight and one-half bales
to the ten acres. Personally he has
secured bale to the acre and owns
four hundred and fifty acres.
Regular Season.
Some of the best authorities on
the weevil advocate the plan OF
planting early in order to beat the
weevil to it," but the Mississippi
man says that he always follows the
laws Of nature, planting when Moth
err Earth is sufficiently warm to
make the cotton seed sprout prompt
1y.
AS a preventive measure against
the 'scut worm" which is partlcu-
larly active against corn and otner
staple articles in early growth, MI
Neuwirth soaks his seeds in a prepa-
ration of coal oil and tar. He says
regarding cotton that any man can
make a successful crop, regardless
of the boil weevil, but must use
methods vastly different form the
methods formerly in vogue.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Convicted of
murder, sentenced to Imprisonment
in the penitentiary for the remainder
of his natural life, and realizing that
it is hardly probable that he will
ever return to Savannah, Jack
O'Brien this morning in the supe-
rior court requested Judge Walter
G. Charlton to allow him to go to
his home and settle his affairs be-
fore he leaves the county. Judge
Charlton passed an order granting
the request.
Going to Cabin.
Late this afternoon O'Brien and a
deputy sheriff will go to O'Brien's
home, about eight miles from Savan-
nah, on the Louisville road, where
the murderer will make an effort to
wind up his affairs.
O'Brien never gave up hope of
being released until after the SEN
tence had been passed on him. Real
izing then that he was not going
back to his little farm and desiring
some few personal effects and to sell
his crop if it is possible he then
made the request of Judge Charlton.
Wants the Money.
The money O'Brien says, will be
used in buying his favorite brand
of tobacco and other articles not af-
forded a convict. O'Brien has no
family, so there is no one left to be
provided for. He is prosperous ne
gro in a way. He operates a small
farm, renting the land, and at pres
ent there is crop on the farm.
He does not desire to have some
person finish the crop on shares, but
wants to sell it in the field and get
the cash. There are number of
things in his cabin which he wishes
to get, and besides there are a num-
Der of matters which have been held
up while he was awaiting trial and
they will now be settled.
Judge Charltons order to Sheriff
Screven was that O'Brien should be
allowed to go from place to place in
Chatham county, as he desired, in
the custody of a deputy sheriff, to
allow O'Brien to settle his affairs be-
fore leaving for the penitentiary.

Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R.
Marshall elected president and vice
president of the United States for
the term beginning March 4th.

that Mr. Wilson and Mr.. Marshall
received ABS electoral votes; that
Theodore Roosevelt for president
and Hiram w Johnson for vice pres
ident received SO votes, and that
William Howard Taft for president
and Nicholas Murray Butler for vice
president received votes.

Senator Bacon, presiding over the
joint session, proclaimed the election
when to the crowded floor and gal
leries of the house chamber he de-
livered the following proclamation
prescribed in the rules:
This announcement of the state
of the vote by the president Of the
senate pro tempore shall be deemed
sufficient declaration of the persons
elected president and vice president
each for the term beginning March
4th, 1913"
Democrats Cheered.
Democrats of the house and senate
greeted the announcement with a
round of applause, few cheers and
several shrill, long yells, the usual
democratic indications of approval.
The galleries joined in the demon
stration and the dignified senate, led
by Senator Bacon and two pages
bearing the wooden caskets contain
ing the electoral vote certificates, re-
turned to its classic confines, far
from the noisy exuberance Of the
house. The proceedings were quiet
ed by the advent of solemn senate
rial dignity when the canvass began,
when Senator Bacon announced that
no applause would be permitted.
Cheers From House.
The nature of the house eventual
ly asserted itself, however, and there
were cheers and hand clippings and
yells as the canvass proceeded.
