SENTENCE CONFIRMED
Jesse Mosely Must Serve II Years
In Penitentiary

Jesse Mosely, youth Of Is,
member of ii prominent Carroll
county family. who killed Rob
Hurt, q boy Of l6. with baseball
bat during the progress of a ball
game at Trezeypnt last August.
must ssrve IL years in the state
penitentiary, the supreme court
having last Saturday affirmed his
conviction for murder in che sec
ond degree.
Young Mosely. a tall, overgrown
boy. broke down in tears when the
finding of the court was announced
by Associate Justice Grafton
Green. The youth had been out
under a $1,000 bond since his CON
viction in the lower court. He was
led from the court room, bound to
other prisoners, sobbing and with
tears streaming down his face.
The fatal assault occurred dur
ing the progress OF u game of base
ball between the Trezevant team
and the Hollyleaf team on the af-
ternoon Of August 10, 1912. The
boys. both members of prominent
families, were captains of the rival
teams. Robert Hurt was the catch
err for the Trezeyant team. Jesse
Mosely played second base for
Hollyleaf. Rivalry between the
boys as baseball players bad strain
ed the relations between them be-
fore the trouble occurred.
The difficulty, which resulted in
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1913-06-06

the killing, began in the sixth in
ing of the game. The score was
close and players on both sides
were fighting hard for advantage.
A few minutes before the assault
Robert Hurt, who bad reached
first base safely, attempted to steal
second. While he was running
from one base to the other, Nose
ly blocked him and tripped him.
The incident was passed over at
the time without hostiIities.
At the end of the inning Nose
Tvs team was coming to bat and
Hurts team was preparing to 60
to the field. Mosely was the first
batter up for Hollyleaf. Hurt,
catcher for Irrelevant, picked up
his mask and mitt and was stand
ing near home plate when Mosely
approached with a bat on his
shoulder. The boys had some
words.
AS to just what was said the cyl
dence was conflicting and the court
held that it was an immaterial mat
ter. Mosely struck Hurt over the
head with the bat. The defendant
claimed that the boy addressed an
epithet to him before he
struck. Young Hurt fell to the
ground with his head crushed by
the blow, while Mosely dropped
his bat and fed. Hurt died the
following day. Mosely escaped
from. Irrelevant but was captured
days later in Memphis.
Owing to the prominence of the
boys families, the trial of the case
attracted much attention, and a
number of Carroll county citizens
were in the court room to hear the
supreme courts decision.

ACQUITTED OF CHARGES
Tick inspectors Fail to Make Out
Case

A trial was had before Squire
L. A. Hurt of considerable inter
est last Friday. Priest Williams.
Roland Umstead and Claude Ellis
had been arrested. charged with
violating the state quarantine law.
The parties live south of Yuma
and they we're cited for trial here
Friday. Quite a number of the
neighbors and friends of the de-
PENDANTS accompanied them to
trial Wnlams and Ellis were
placed on trial, but Umstead's case
was continued until today. Sew
eral witnesses were examined and
much interest shown. The court
decided the case against the state,
releasing Williams and Ellis.
These cases had been brought
hy DR., Ford, a state quarantine Of
ficer, and |. r. Williams, the
county inspector. A number of
the people of that community are
very much opposed to the tick
law and are quite outspoken in
their disapproyal of its enforce
ment by the state and county.

The big summer resort hotel at
Hinson Springs caught fire Thurs

in abundance. After about the
first of July the plant not only
makes its greatest growth, but
must support its squares, bolls,
seed and lint, as well as branches
and leaves, and while it is doing
this the plant must have at its
command an additional supply of
ripened plant food.
Greatest Demand for Food
Between the time. the fertilizer
was put into the ground and the
time the plant makes its greatest
demand for food, heavy and con-
tinuous rain dissolve and carry
away a great portion of the solu-
BILE plant food. Especially is this
true with respect to the nitrogen
the most expensive and most. vital
part of the fertilizer-the lack of
which--is shown when the leaves
turn yellow, growth ceases and the
squares fall of. These things
point out clearly the fact that the
food supply is near exhaustion and
that nature is wisely putting aside

Gent plant food to give the ears of
corn that development so necessary
for fruitful crop.
Corn Needs FurtiIiZer
1t has been proved that corn
needs not alone, water soluble anu
moniates, such as sulphate of am
monia or nitrate of soda as Sec
ond application, in order to secure
the best results, but is also in need
of phosphoric acid and potash in
order to round out a bumper har-
vest;
Experience and experiments
have proven that one must not
wait too long for the second APP
plication and third application, but
the best results are obtained by APP
plying the second application three
or four weeks before the tassel APP
pears, and the third application
when the tassel prepares to grow
out of the top leaf.

Big GIFT
Andrew Carnegie Gives Wander
bilt One Million

Chancellor J. H. kirkland OF
Vanderbilt university announced
today that proposition had been
made by Andrew Carnegie to pro-
vide a million dollars for the ben
eft of Vanderbilt's medical depart
ment. OF this sum 100000 will
be given at once for the erection
and equipment of laboratories. The
income from the remaining $780,
600 will be paid annually for the
support of the department through
the Carnegie corporation. A con-
dition of the donation provides
that the direction of the educa-
tional and scientific work of the
department be committed by the
board of trust to a small board of
seven men, three of whom shall
be eminent in medical and scien-
tific work. The offer has already
been reported to the executive
committee of the board of trust
and accepted by it. The action of
the committee is to be ratified at
the annual meeting of the board
OF trust on June 16, at which time
the governing board of seven will
be selected. 1t is provided that
the chancellor himself is one of the
seven.
The gift is the largest single gift
ever made to the university.

The Value Of Fertilizing Growing Crops

part of her burden in order that
all of it may not be lost.
Double the Yield
From two to six squares fall off
of each cotton stalk to every ma
ture boil made. just think what
it would mean to reduce the mum
Der that fall off by half by furnish
ing additional plant food when
needed, to hold them on, through
the means of a second application.
The reward to the cotton grower
will be an abundant yield and a
great profit, and would leave the
soil in better condition for the
crop which is to follow cotton.
Water carries plant food to the
growing crop. In the case of corn
growing, when all of the fertilizer
is put into the ground, at one time,
is another case of the maximum
supply Of plant food with the min
imum use for it. The corn stalks
grow tall and large, and by the
time the ears begin to develop the
fertilizer has been leached away

You don't furnish your stock at
one time with food enough to sup
ply them two months or more.
Why, then, should you follow such
a plan when feeding your crops!
Fertilizer is simply plant food and
should be given to your cotton or
corn in such amounts and at such
times as their needs require.
In order to obtain the best crop
results, this plant food must not
only be furnished at the time OF
planting to germinate the seed and
cause a healthy, hardy stand, but
must be feed to it afterwards, as
the growing plant makes its de-
mand for more and more as the
plant begins to fruit.
Second Application
In July, on an average, the
blossoming begins, and from July
on until the crop is made the plant
IS busy at its great work. and it is
then il need Of all the help it can
cet-the best Of cultivation and
the best of plant foods, and both

has minimized the expense of the
second application until it adds lit
sle to any beyond the cost of the
fertilizer to the production of the
crop.
Sac Per Acre More
In recent article MIR. j. S.
Fowler, of Anderson, S. G., mar
rated his experience in the grow
ing of the cotton crop with and
without the second application and
this article was illustrated with
photographs.
He kept an exact expense ac-
count with reference to the two
crops, both of which were planted
with the same seed, at the same
time, cultivated in the same way,
and it was shown that, with the
additional expense of S. per acre
for the second application of com
mercial fertilizer, the net profit
per acre on the part so cultivated
was $40 above that acreage in
which all of the fertilizer was APP
piled at the time of planting.

SAYS PIPE LINE FROM
PETR0L|A WOULD PAY

s. j. slade returned yesterday
from Petrolia where be has been sup
cruising the linking Of three new
wells on his holdings In the oil and
gas field.
"One well IA down 500 feet. an
other 800 and still another has just
been started" said Mr. slade. Some
delay has been encountered BY the
slipping Of casing but a. soon a. m 4
h nshed out. the work viii continue
There Is reassuring promise Of a
large strike. The Petrolla field Is
becoming recognized as one OF the
most important and productive IN
the southwest, and development b.
still only fairly begun"
Mr. slade together with Outhsr
Amarillo citizens Is interested In
the holdings OF the Amarillo oil &
Ga Company. This company owns
the greatest gas well In the field TO
date.
Il Is estimated that We have a
daily capacity OF 7O.00o.O0O feet %
said Mr. slade. "and this Is half as
much as Is being taken from the
field daily The experience Of Wich~
la Falls and other points which use
gas for fuel shows that Amarillo
and the Panhandle towns could save
the cost OF a pipe line 10 gas fields
within two years time The distance
To Petrolia IL 226 miles and the es-
timated cost OF piping Is $4,000 a
mile The sum seems colossal. but
when the reduced price OF fuel for
home and factory purposes Is con
siuered, II may readily be- seen that
The Panhandle people would profit
largely from connection with the gas
fields. The larger cities and towns
along the Denver could well afford
to interest themselves 10 the matter
and are sleeping OF their rights ny
