Wealthy Negro Dies.

A special from Mckenzie to
the News Scimitar says: Andy
Prince, whose death was record
ed here was one of che wealth
lest negroes in Carroll county.
Living a few miles north of Nc
Kenzie for the last Is years, by
industry and frugality he
amassed an amount of property
that runs well into the thousands.
Owning 600 acres Of good farm
land, more than 100 head Of
horses and cows, threshing ma
chine and swine, he was highly
respected by white people, and
at the same by his own color.
He was polite and unassuming,
and furnishes an example o1
what hard work and persistence
will do for a farmer, no matter
what the color of his skin. While
this is an exceptional case, there
are at least two other negroes ir
Carroll county, both farmers,
whose financial rating is vel
above the $40. 900 mark.

It is apparent that Hu Anderson,

1914 COTTON CROP IS
LARGEST EVER RAISED

The United States department
of agriculture estimates the 1914
cotton crop at 1850, 600 bales.
This is the largest production in
the history Of the cotton indus
try. The 1911 crop held the re-
cord to the past year with a pro-
duction of Is, ,69O,701 bales. 1t
is estimated that there is at least
two million bales in the field,
much of it deserted by discour-
aged farmers and will probably
never be picked.
The 1914 crop also ranks
among the largest in production
per area, averaging 203 pounds
per acre, and reaches the low
water mark in price. The price
officially estimated for the 1914
crop is 6 cents the pound, in
contrast with an average price
of IL cents the pound in 1918
and a production of 1872 pounds
per acre.

PARIS, TENNESSEE, FRIDAY, JANUARY /. 1914
CLERK CHARGED WITH
BURNING COURT HOUSE

George Slaughter, circuit clerk
of Marshall county, Kentucky,
has been indicted on the charge
1of burning the Benton court
/ house which was destroyed by
fire just before Christmas.
! The night the building was
burned it was at first thought
that Slaughter had perished in
the flames, butit developed that
he skipped out that night and
was later apprehended in Cairo.
Slaughter claims that a lamp
exploded at his desk, from which
the fire originated, and he then
weaves a tale about becoming
panic. stricken and running away
after witnessing, he says, the
confagration from a warehouse
nearby, where he claims to have
concealed himself. There are
apparent discrepancies even in
the story of his flight, and his
actions throughout the whole af-
fair appear to be either that of a
madman or a plain, ordinary
10O-proof damphool.
The evidence against young
Slaughter is strong; He was
short in his accounts about five
hundred dollars and the day for
settlement was at hand. A few
hours previous to the fire he
purchased five gallons of coal
oil. The empty can was found
intact in the ruins. The f2mes
spread with marvellous rapidly,
indicating that some infammable
substance had been spilled upon
the floors. These and other re-
markable circumstances are in
support of the grand jury's ac-
cusation that Slaughter applied
the torch. He rendered his res
ignation as circuit clerk which
was promptly accepted. His bond
was fixed at $500, which he
gave and was released. Emf
nent counsel has been employed
to defend Slaughter at the trial
which comes on next April.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
RIDICULOUS TAFT SAYS

National prohibition is a dan
gerous proposition, said former
President William H. Taft speak
ing before the Boston Bar Asso-
citation Monday night.
1T would revolutionize the ma
tional government" he said. 1T
would put on the shoulders OF
the government the d,lty of
sweeping the doorsteps of every
home in the land. If national
prohibition legislation is passed
local government would be de-
destroyed. And if you destroy
local government you destroy
one Of the things which go to
make for a healthy condition of
the notional government.
National prohibition is non
enforceable; it is a confession on
the part of state governments of
inability to control and regulate
their own special business and
duty; if the matter were placed
under federal controlit would re-
suit in creation of a machinery
of government officials large
enough to nominate any presi-
dent and would offer too great
an opportunity to persons seek,
ing to perpetuate their power in
Washington"

AFFORD IS ACQUITTED
OF KILLING C0ULTERS

Monday at Trenton j. A. Al
ford was acquitted Of the mur-
der of Harry G. Coulter. The
case went to the jury Saturday
evening previous. A year ago
Afford was acquitted of the kill
ing of Harry Coulter's father.
In September 1918, Afford met
the Coulters at the station in
Trenton and with two automatic
pistols killed them both almost
instantly. Though the men were
unarmed Afford pleaded self
defense. The killing was the
result of continued visits to
Affords home by one of the
Coulters, who persisted in illicit
relations With Affords wife.

LAMAR GRANTS APPEAL
IN LEO N. FRANK CASE

Justice Lamar, of the United
States Supreme Court on Monday
granted an appeal from the de-
cision Of the Georgia federal
court, which refused to release
Leo M. Frank on habeas corpus
proceedingsl Frank is under a
death sente1ce for the murder of
Mary Phagah, an Atlanta facto-
tory girl, 9he celebrated case
now comes before the highest
court in the land, the goal for
which the attorneys for the con-
demned man have been fighting
for weeks. Once previously
appeal was denied him in another
phase of the proceedings.
la the present proceeding Leo
Franks attorneys argued to the
Georgia Federal court that the
state courts, in which Frank was
convicted of murder, had lost
jurisdiction because Frank was
convicted withouta a fair trial and
in an atmosphere of mob vio-
lence. Frank is under sentence
to die on January %, but Jus.
tice Lamar's action effects ar
indefinite stay of execution. The
belief is growing that Frank il
absolutely innocent of the hor.
rible crime attributed to him
He was convicted solely upon the
testimony of a drunken negro.

FOOLISH NASHVILLE SUIT
RETARDS RAILWAY WORK.

Attorney General A. B. Ander.
son of Davidson county has filed
a bill in behalf of Mrs. Ella Lea
to annul the charter of the
Lewisburg & Northern Railroad
Co., which has had a most disas-
trous result in Nashville. There
were SO many unemployed men
in that city that the Board of
Trade had been compelled to un-
dertake to provide employment
for at least a part of them. Right
in the midst of this work this
bill is filed, and stopped all work
on the large reservoir, pipe line
and stone crusher, in one day
throwing five hundred men out
of employment. The pay roll
was about $50 a week, almost
every dollar of which went into
the channels of trade in Nash
vile. From the accounts as
published, and an interview in
the Nashville Banner with H. C.
Williams, Chief Engineer of the
Lewisburg & Northern, it would
appear that the suit was brought
on mere technicality. Certain
ly the people of the State, and
especially the people of Nash
vile who are, or should be, most
directedly interested, would not
want the Lewisburg & Northern
Railroad destroyed on a techni-
cality. From the published ac-
counts it appears that the 'inju-
ry" Of Mrs. Lea rests solely on
the fact that a pipe line is to be-
laid in a turnpike in which she
will have an interest in the event
that the turnpike is ever aban-
doned by the public. Something
not likely to happen. The fact
that Mrs. Lee had been offered
$1,000 for a right of way across
her farm, which she declined, is
a puzzle which has yet to be
solved.

FIRE DESTROYS LARGE
STORE AT JONES MILL

Fire of unknown origin de-
stroyed the B. w Potts Co.
store at Jones' mill Christmas
morning at 3 o'clock. The build
ing belonged to w. 7. Holly and
was valued at 81. 500. No insur-
ance was carried upon it. The
merchandise company had a gen.
eral stock conservatively esti-
mated as being worth $15, 900,
which was insured for about
$40, 600. Two hundred and fifty
hens and $50 bushels of stock
peas were also destroyed.
The storehouse will be rebuilt
as soon as possible and the same
management will continue the
business. It is one of the larg-
est mercantile concerns in the
county and commands an i'm
mense trade. The members of
the corporation are M. G. Craw-
ford, V. R. Crawford and j. T.

.G0EBEL IS OPPOSED TO
PARDON Of 4. Y0UTSEY

Henry Youtsey. serving a life
term in the Frankfort, KY, pen
itentiary for completely in the
murder of VIM. Goebel, IA years
ago, is circulating petitions for a
pardon and has applied to JUS
titus Goebel, the murdered mans
brother, for help to secure his
release. In an interview given
to Cincinnati papers Mr.. Goebel
says Youtsey is misrepresenting
facts in his pardon application.
He also says he has spent $780,
600 to convict the assassins of
his brother and that it would be
a shame and disgrace to the
stete to release .Youtsey. He
will in an open letter ask the
convict to explain fully the part
he played in the murder plot.
Ali the others implicated in the
murder of Gov. Goebel were
pardoned- several years ago by
Augustus E. Wilson, former Re-
publican governor of Kentucky,
and Caleb Powers, the brains of
the conspiracy, and from whose
office the fatal shot was fired,
was Immediately elected to con-
gresa by the mountain Republi-
cans, and yet struts about the
national capitol, a disgrace to the
nation, ostracised by the mem.
bership of his own state and de-
spised by all.
Though the attorneys who
prosecuted the band of cowardly
assassins were convinced that
Jim Howard, a mountain gun
man, fired the shot that killed
Goebel, yet there is ample evil
dence that Youtsey procured the
rifle and the cartridges for the
dastardly work, was in the room
when the shot was fired, and
would have fired it himself but,
like the craven coward that he
is, his nerve failed him at the
critical moment.

dorsed his candidacy, and Henry

THE STATE WHEAT CROP \
SHOWS HEAVY INCREASE

The increased acreage in
I wheat sown in Tennessee this
wear over last is 146.000 acres,
Ind in the United States over
4200, 600 acres. The condition
df the crop is 1873 per cent. as
al compared with 90.3 per cent,
the ten year average. If the
present per cent. of crop condi-
at jns can be maintained until the
tlrvest, with the increased acre
J age, this country's increased pro-
duction would be more than
100, 600, 600 bushels over last
year. In all other crops this
country should heavily increase
its acreage if it expects to meet
coming exigencies and the de-
mand that will be created by the
nonproduction of Europe.

edge Of his efficiency and supe-
rior abilities as clean-cut,
clear-headed business man. Be
yond question under his direc-
ton the affairs Of the Comptrol-
er's Office would be wisely and
economically administered.
John Thomason as a man, as
a public official and as a demo-
crat has been weighed in the
balance and has never been
found wanting. No man in
Tennessee has contributed more
financially, according to his
means. to the Democratic party
than John Thomason. He is one
