What Mr.. Bryan Has Done

Mr. Bryan's greatest public service
to Ameri "a and the world has been
the thirty or more treaties he con
cluded, while secretary of state, with
other governments in the interest OF
peace and arbitration. He has oeen a
consistent friend and advocate of peace
for many years, and has taken every
opportunity to advance the cause o.
international Cancellation and arbitra-
tion-an attitude which won him the
hostility of powerful interests. The

AGED SLAYER WILL
NOT HANG FOR CRIME
Governor Grants COmmuta-
ton to Aged COnfeder-
ate Veteran

j. A. Tabor, Confederate vet an,
now confined in the county Jail in
Jackson did not hang at Oxford
Monday, Governor Brewer having
commuted his sentence of death to one
of life Imprisonment.
= The news was conveyed to Tabor in
the county Jail by Jailer Rucker,
who has taken a deep interest in the
case. Tabor was delighted with the
news and was fervent in his thanks
to the Governor, to his jailer and
to all who have displayed an inter-
est in his case. The old man is very
feeble, having recently suffered
severe malarial attack He is now
recovering and it is supposed that
after a few days recuperation in the
jail he will be conveyed to the Oak
ley pena! farm. Governor Brewer,
after granting the communication frank
ly stated that nothing had given him
more trouble since becoming Chief
Executive than the Tabor case. He
said that he could not believe that
an old man 73 years of age, a Con-
federate veteran with an honorable
past, had debauched his own grand
daughter, especially in view of the
fact that the girl made an affidavit
charging a young man of the neigh
borhood with her ruin.
Tabor killed his daughter law
when she charged him with debauch-
ing his 16 year old granddaughter,
and threatened him with prosecution.
The old man declares he had Deen
living with his sons family, but left
when they quarreled over an attempt
to get his pension money. Hearing
reports of his granddaughter con-
duct he went to the home to re-
monstrate with her mother and in
quire of the charges. 1t was then the
mother charged him with the offense
and, angered he, seized shotgun
and fired.
Discussing the case, Governor
Brewer said, in part:
81 have carefully and prayerfully
considered this matter, and am going
to give this old Confederate veteran
the benefit of the doubt, and let
him go to the penitentary for life in
stead of to the gallows.
81 have read the testimony in the
case very carefully and am in doubt
as to the truth of the story told by
the granddaughter, which really
caused the extreme penalty to be i'm
posed. The girl testified that her
grandfather had debauched her, but
she contradicted that statement by the
fact that she made an affidavit charg
ing young man near her home with
causing her ruin. In the same week
of the crime Tabor was convicted ano
sentenced.
"It looks incredible to me that g
man 73 years of age would debauct
relative Is years old. | believe
that the charge of his sons wife
that he committed such a crime
made him so exasperated that he
became insane for the moment snc
killed her, causing him to commit
dastardly murder.

IT IS LITTLE USE.

1t is little use for the local editor TO
waste his lungs and sprain his spine in
trying to boom a town when the citizens
all stand around with their hands in
their pockets and indifferently wait for
something to turn up. If the capitalists
or business men 20 not put their shout
ders to the wheel and do little boost
ing 1t is useless for the editor to try
and boom things. He can write boom
articles till he gets bald headed, but
if the citizens themselves do not take
hold and push, the town will forever
stick in the mud. OF what use is it
for the local paper to suggest improve
ments and new enterprises if the sug-
gestions are never acted upon? One
mar cannot boom a town. II requires
the concerted action Of the citizens.
When one man shoulders town and
attempts to carry it there are always a
lot of cranky kickers ready to jump on
top of the load. Unity of action is
what knocks.

COTTON GOING UP.

Granting that the markets OF Ger
many and Austria are closed to Amer
lean cotton all estimates agree that the
present crop will fall short of the
demands of the open markets. But It
is very doubtful if it will be possible
to cut Germany entirely OF. Last
year she was supposed to not get any
cotton but when the returns were all
in it was found that she had imported
more cotton than in any former year.
England is no more able to control
the sea now than year ago. We can
therefore expect buyers for Germany
to be in the market for cotton. II
they purchased as much AS was used
by Germany last year the world supply
will fall about 2. 500. 600 bales short Of
the demand. That means that there is
to be a scramble for cotton. with an
ever rising price and the men who owns
a few bales of cotton few months
hence will get good stuff price for IL;
probably the highest in recent years.

A WORD TO FARMERS.

Last Saturday farmer came in this
office and we were discussing the i'm
portance of selecting and caring for
seed corn He said he lost at least 5000
by not selecting and caring for his seed
corn and other seeds last year.
Take warning my farmer friend. and
select your seed corn this fall While
you have plenty Of time. DO it while
you are passing through the field adj
miring YOUR crop. Remember if you
have a good strain of corn it doesn't
pay to buy from someone else. Follow
the following rules and select your seed
corn this fall.
Rules for selecting seed corn:
/. Secure from hills with two or more
stalks.
2. Secure from stalks bearing two or
more ears.
3. Secure ears at proper height from
the ground.
4. Secure shanks of medium length
with ears hanging down.
5. Spread out the seed in a dry,
warm place.
6. Select ears well rounded over at
tip ends.
7. Select ears large around.
s. Select ears with smslI cob and
large kernals.
8. Select ears with wedge. shaped
grains.
10 Select ears with grains in straight
rows.
IL. Select ears with grains rather
smooth dented.
II. Select ears with grains plump and
firm on cob.
You can readily see that it would be
impossible to avail Yourself of the first
four rules unless you select your seed
from standing corn. 1t may be well to
point out few of these four rules;
In the first place. an ear that has
grown in a hill of two or more stalks
that grew by itself is naturally a more
vigorous one and should make better
seed, other things being equal. Again
if you take your seed from stalks of
two ears on them even if not quite so
large as where only one ear grew on
stalk, you can in few wears develop
strain and is equally as good as another
of corn that will almost invariably pro-
duce two ears to the stalk. Therefore
select best ears from stalks with two
or more ears.
Then it is of advantage to have. ears
from three and half feet to five from
the ground, not only because it is cas-
Ter to handle, in cutting, stripping, and
topping, but also your corn will ripen
more uniformly and all be ready to
harvest at nearly the same time.
Lastly it is waste as well as an in
to have ears with shanks
a foot long. And again if shank is
short and stiff. holding the ear in an
upright position it allows rain water to
run in and injure the grain. Whereas,
if the shank is moderately long and
timber enough to allow the ear to hang
top downward, the husk drains the rain
and dew all off, and the ears keeps per-
fectly dry even if left out all winter in
the field.
Everyone should know that freezing
Injuries seed corn if it is not thoroughly !
cured and dry. Even then it does it no
good. SO be on the safe side and store
your seed corn in warn, dry place
such as around the chimney upstairs in
the house.
