Ward Released
By Police.
(By Associated Press.)

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 30-R. B. Ward,
who was arrestde late Saturday on
suspicion of being connected with the
mysterious death of Adam A. Boggs
and his daughter, Miss Marjorie Boggs,
whose charred bodies were found in
the ruins of the Boggs home after the
structure had been consumed by fire
last Wednesday, was released this af-
ternoon.
Police officials discussing the case
today stated that Ward had establish
ed a complete alibi, being able to give
an absolute account of himself
for every possible hour during which
the crime was committed The COM
munity is greatly aroused by the mys-
terious murder, and many prominent
Miami people are assisting in the in
vestigation of the case.
The coroner's jury is continuing its
work upon the evidence before it, but
had not been able to reach a final
conclusion a tnoon today. Several wit
nesses have already been examined by
the coroner, but the evidence so far
adduced has thrown no light upon the
mysterious perpetrator of the deed.

WILL FALL
WITHOUT RESISTANCE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 30.-Of-
fetal dispatches late today confirmed
earlier reports to the effect that Gen.
Luis Caballero, governor of the Mex
lean state of Tamaulipas, had joined
the villa faction. AS Gen. Caballero
controls the military and municipal
forces now occupying Tampico, his
allegiance to the cause of Villa is in
terpreted here to mean that the troops
now marching upon that port will
make peaceful entry into the town,
and that foregn property will not be
damaged by further fighting there.

HOGS FOR COTTON
IN EMPIRE STATE
United States Government Advises
Farmers to Grow Live Stock as a
Money Crop.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 30-Four
measures are being recommended by
the United States of agriculture to
farmers of the South in order to rem
edy the conditions created by the col
lapse of the cotton market. These
are
First The reduction of expenses by
the production of more food for the
family and more grain and forage for
the live stock.
Second. The substitution of other
money crops for part of the cotton
acreage.
Third. The raising of more live
stock.
4. The addition of humus to the soil
! in order to make fertilizer less ex-
pensive.
The first thing to be done, says the
government specialists, is to plant
winter crops to be used partly for
winter and spring grazing, partly for
spring hay and grain, and partly for
cover crops to be turned back into the
soil for fertilizing purposes. These
crops should include oats for grain
and oats, barley, or rye for hay, and
ony one of these for winter and spring
grazing or humus value. Although
October and November are the best
months for planting these crops in the
cotton country, the time may be eX-
tended into the winter. The winter
crops should be followed by summer
legumes such as cowpeas, soy beans
etc. Fall and winter vegetables
should be planted for home use and
for the market.
Hogs are recommended as the best
form of live stock to grow. Immediate
steps should be taken to increase the
profits from hogs and hog products
by the planting of crops for winter
and spring grazing, to be followed by
summer and fall crops for the same
purpose. Growers are also being
warned to take rigid precautions
against hog cholera. If strict quaran-
tine measures are adopted and if the
animals when threatened, are inocu-
lated with anti-hog cholera serum, the
growers should sucer no loss from
this source.
Hogs, however, can not be grown
proftably when they have to be fed on
grain at 81 bushel. A succession of
| pasture crops Is tuSItlOlC VI pl iAiAS III
portance For Georgia, rape, rye,
vetch and bur and crimson clover are
recommended, with cowpeas, Bermuda
pasture, alfalfa, velvet beans, arti-
chokes and above all, peanuts, to fol-
low.
The chief difficulty in the way of
planting these crops is that all avail
able labor is now needed in the cot
ton fields. This emphasizes all the
more the extensive use of machinery
and implements which will minimize
the need for human labor and set the
hands free to do other urgent work
on the farm.

OUR OBSERVATION.

The leading Negroes of Southern Ill
mos knows all about the local and dis
trict affairs, the conditions and how to
reach the voters and stands higher in
the estimation and confidence of the
Negro voters than any class of orators
sent from other sections of the state.
We feel safe in saying that the CON-
mittees are making vast mistakes by
sending for, and having men come from
the northern region instead of bringing
them from the Southern counties. We
havejust as good speakers among our
people in Egypt" as can be found
anywhere and they feel themselves
sighted and have expressed themselves
so to me in the last few weeks, ano
they are letting them do the talking.
We hesitated before we made this
statement, but in order that the same
mistake two years hence, we make
this observation. Watch what we have
said because we know whereof we
speak.

Shaft Is Being Started on Very
Promising Vein.

Work is going steadily at the Wis

below the mouth of Moon creek under

tunnel has been run some three or four
hundred feet on the vein, from which
a raise has been made to tho surface.
The vein shows considerable ore car
rying values in copper. gold and silver,
1t also carries much iron, of char
acter that makes 1t desirable to the

shipped some time ago from which II

SINKING At BENTON
NOW IN PROGRESS
POWER TURNED ON-PLANT is
IN PERFECT WORKING
ORDER.

Electric power was turned on at the
Benton Tuesday and, barring few
adjustments always incidental to the
starting of new machinery, everything
a half the pump lowered the water In
the shaft 10 feet, which demonstrates
that 1t will handle the water at any
depth required under the present
plans of the company. Yesterday the
hoist was adjusted and tried out sue
| cessfully. The compressor is running
in good shape, and today the entire
plant is expected to be in operation
and sinking the shaft in progress.
Manager Callahan will try jack
hammer drills in sinking the shaft.
With the possible exception of the
Snowstorm, these drills have not been
used in this district. although they are
said to be used almost altogether in
sinking in Butte. They are light and
self-turning, and put down a hole in
surprisingly short time. The pc
culiar conditions in the Benton shaft
however, lead some practical miners
to doubt their adaptibility to the work
there. But their advantages over
other drills for shaft work is so plain
ly evident that the management de-
termined to try them out.
