in this State is twenty years, and
the court cut the time halfin too.
Ferguson is a native of Lown-

tim. Both men were members
Of the Columbus Riflemen and
both men went to Water Valley
in the fall Of 1911 to guard prop
erty of the Illinois Central rail-
road against depradations upon
the part of striking employees.
The two men became involved in
a difficulty when Perry. who was
on guard duty, declined to ad-
NIT Ferguson into the lines.
claiming that his pass was worth
less because it bore no date.
Later Ferguson got inside the
lines, and went to the tent which
he and Perry had been occupying.
The difficulty was renewed. and
Ferguson sEot his companion.
Testimony deduced at the trial
showed that Ferguson had been
drinking during the day of the
homicide, but he denied that he
was drunk when he shot his
comrade or that he had any i'll
feeling against him.
This was the second time that
the case had been tried. the first

NJ. F. A. Bell Of Ethel
vile Neighborhood.
SOLD TO Mr.. 7. O.BURRIs
Bale Weighed 4i5 Pounds, and
was Stored at Warehouse Of
r. A. Cunter 4 Co.

The first bale Of cotton of the
new crop reached Columbus
Monday. having been brought in
by Mr.. +. A. Bell. a prosperous
and progressive planter of the
EthelviIle neighborhood.
The bale. which weighed 4l5
pounds, was stored at the ware
house of Messrs. F. A. Gunter
& Co., and the receipt and sam
Pile were turned over to Messrs.
Donoghue. Dee & Co., who sold
the cotton to Mr.. T. O. Burris,
president of the Tombigbee Mills.
Mr.. Burris paid IL IL cents a
pound for the cotton. and in ad-
dition to this Mr.. Bell received
quite a tidy sum as a premium,
Mr.. E. C. Scott, of the firm Of
Donohue & Co.. having taken
around a list and collected SUBJ
scriptions from local merchants.
The new cotton came in about
two weeks earlier than usual this
season, the first bale last year
having been received on August
18th. On account of the unusu-
ally favorable weather. the crop
is well advanced, and it is
thought that by the first OF Sep
tember cotton will begin to come
in in great quantities.

Artesia, Shelton having boarded
the train with her but having
jumped off before it got outside

to Artesia, and was met there by
a kind hearted Columbian who
gave her money to return to Co
