This was the verdict returned this
morning by the jury in the case OF 7.
H. Mckee VS.. about twenty-five Of the
leading citizens of Spring Hill. The
Jury was out but short time In COM
ing to a unanimous verdict in favor
Of the defendants.
Mckee sued these citizens for &c.
900 for damages alleged to have been
done to himself by reason Of their
taking his stock of goods from him
and converting 1t to their own use,
and for alleged conspiracy against
him.
The taking Of testimony was com,
pleted Saturday afternoon, and after
counsel on both sides had decided not
to argue the case, court adjourned un.
til this morning. At 10 o'clock Judge
Turner read a very exhaustive charge
to the jury upon the facts and the
law in the case and the contention OF
the parties to the lawsuit. He dis
cussed the first three counts of the
declaration and then separately the
fourth, in which a conspiracy was
charged by the plaintiff.
There were but few in the court
room when the jury returned from its
deliberations. The plaintiff was out
while but few of the defendants were
in the room. Some of the attorneys
were even out.
This brought to an end the litiga
ton Of the past three or four days in
the circuit court, in which Mckee had
been trying to recover damages from
these citizens Of Spring Hill. His at
torneys were John l. Jones, r. S

represented by J. H. Dining and

morning on the 9:35 train Of the re-
mains of Ben Loftin from Tulia, Tex,

fore Christmas, walked up behind
them and shot Ben Loftin In the back
with gun. He then turned the gun
on Henry Loftin and shot at him
three times, but only slightly wound
ed him in the leg. Ben Loftin died
in few minutes as result of the
one shot that was fred at him.
Mr.. Loftin was about 35 years of
age. He was unmarried and left a
mother, Mrs. Love Loftin, four sis
tiers, Mrs. Dies, of Texas, Mrs. Kirk

COLUMBIA RECTOR CONCLUDES
SERIES OF LECTURES IN
NASHVILLE.
MADE PROFOUND IMPRESSION
The Christian Life Is Essentially
Joyous, Happy and Glad one-Let
Us Set Ourselves to Know God.
and Assimilate Him.

DR.. R. M. w. Black, rector of st.
Peters church, concluded Friday at
noon the series of Lenten services
that he has been holding in Nashville
for the business men of that city.
The general theme Of the five short
addresses that DR.. Black made was
Sin" They were cordially received
and were heard by large crowds each
DAT.
The address Of DR.. Black at the
last service was in part as follows:
Il wish, while considering this top
ic of sin, that / could dwell more on
the glad side of life. No one has the
right to be gloomy In religion. The
true child of God can go about his life
with light and happy heart more'
than others. / heard the bishop of
London say that we have to have the
sense Of humor. II our religion is a
gloomy kind Of thing we can't get
along. Perfect love casteth out fear
No one but the Christian gets the
right life. Among some there is
sneer about the Christian living in
another world. We must know our
life. The wise man lives the present
life in connection with the whole.
"A thought came over my mind in
my own town as l walked out to the
edge Of It white the twilight shadows
were gathering. As I stood on a
bridge and looked back at my home
town and saw it's outline silhouetted
and the light in the lantern of the
court house, the day was over, and
the noise had ceased. / thought of
the poet Wadsworth. All was quiet
and it seemed that the busy life was
hushed. thought that I was a part
OF that life now, but that soon the
time would come when /, as well as
every one, will be gone from this
busy life. What we have to do we
must do now. Now Is the accepted
time; now is the day of salvation
We must act now. We must be dis
ciplined and our stubborn wills need
to be trained. The need OF our life
is doing what we do not wish to do.
Jesus Christ said at the end Of
His earthly career; I have finished
the work which Thou gavest Me to
do
The way of the cross seems hard
now, but how will it be when we look
back upon it?
IF impatient, thou let slip thy cross,
Thou wilt not find it in this world

say, so soon?

comes
That summons that we look fort

Soon-yea, too soon!"

OF OVERORAFTS
COMPTROLLER OF CURRENCY
SAYS DEPosIToRs MUST HAVE

THEIR CHECKS.

Depositors in national banks all over
the country will hereafter have to
have enough money on deposit to
cover their checks, for the banks will
not, as. sometimes in the past in the
case of good customers, cash such
checks and charge the overdraft to
them.
This action will be taken as a re-
suit of letter sent out TO all nationa
banks of John SHELTON Williams
comptroller of the currency, in which
he directs national banks to stop TIL
practice of overdrafts, which, he says
has been overdone by some banks IL.

Mr.. williams asks that the banks
call a meeting of their directors an
pass resolutions instrueung employee.
to honor no more overdrafts. He alsu
asks that copy of these resolutions,
with the names of the directors pres
ent be forwarded to the treasury de-
parement.
While of course the department has
no control over state banks, their CO.
operation is also asked.

THE FARM WORK OUT OF DANGER
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL
RE PETlTloNED FOR APPRo-
FHIATloN FOR A FARM DEM
oNsrRAToR,

There will be presented to the coun-
ty commissioners at their meeting to-
night, petition for an appropriation
TO aid In carrying on the farm demon
stration work in this county This
Is a step In the right direction.
Speaking OF what has been accom-
plished during the past year or more
in the county prominent citizen last
night gave out the following as an ar
gument that the county should as
sist:
Agriculture and manufacturing are
the foundation stones, upon one Of
which is built the prosperity of every
city, Pensacola cannot expect to se-
cure factories until she has more
transportation facilities. Farming.
truckgrowing and cattle and hog rais-
ing. however, can and should be en-
opuraged by every possible means.
There Is no shorter path to prosperity
than that made by the pillow. Had
there been a large population OF pro-
gressive farmers In Escambla county
during the past i've years, all trading
and banking In Pensacola, there would
have been no naneial depression.
sIsAs the result OF the demonstration
work the past year there are now a
number Of sllos In the county, one Dip
ping vat has been built, more fall and
winter blowing has been done than
ever before. some farmers are raising
puFe-bred cattle and hogs. Seed Sc
lection, scientific cultivation and crop
rotation are being practiced. A cream
cry has been established at Roberts
and another is contemplated at ouin-
tette. The value of the hogs saved
from cholera by vaccination In the
past three months Is greater than the
cost of the farm demonstration work
for two years. These are some of the
visible effects of the work, but the
invisible effects are probably more VAL
liable. Mr.. Hiatt the present county
demonstration agent. 10 successful
farmer Of wide experience and with a
thorough knowledge Of conditions In
Eseambia county. Not only Is he a
success ON his own farm but has the
rare faculty OF imparting his success
fui methods 60 others. Through his
efforts our farmers have more conf
dence In themselves and more conii-
dence In their land. They have learned
that they can raise what the world
wants, and that they can sell their
products when they have been raised.
'Such educational and practical
work as this should not lie discontin-
used for mere financial reasons. Money
spent In this way tends. TO increase
the taxable values in the county and
thus returns itself many times over.
The business men of the city, THROUGH
the Chamber of Commerce. and the
farmers both individually and through
the Escambia County Crop Improve
ment Association are standing behind
the petition. and It Is to be hoped that
the county commissioners viii grant
the request"
