CLARENCE SAMPSON
CASE IS DISMISSED
Negro for Whose Fayors Women
Fought, One Being Killed and
Other Imprisoned, Is Free.

The charge of first degree murder
son. a negro, for a year and nine
months was dismissed yesterday by
Prosecuting Attorney T. G. Parham,
who stated that he had become con-
vinced from the evidence presented
in the case against Simpsons alleged
accomplice that the testimony would
be insufficient to convict Sampson of
participation in the tragedy, and he
deemed it useless to put the state to
the expense of trial.
Sampson and Florence Duvall were
indicted on charges of murder for the
killing of Mary Lou Davis on June
5, 1914. The woman was stabbed to
death in fight with the Duvall wo-
man, the trouble being due to jealousy
over Simpsons favors. The Duvall
woman was charged with the actual
killing. She was tried twice, the
first jury being unable to agree. Be-
fore she was placed on trial again
the charge was reduced to second de-
gree murder, and last October she
was convicted and sentenced to five
years in prison.
Jake Williams entered a plea of
guilty to charge of grand larceny
and was sentenced by Judge Sorrells
to serve two years in prison.
Prosecutor Parham dismissed the
charges against Turner Hudson. ac-
cused of seduction Garland Silas,

storm and bad weather. Northern
railroads will have trouble with bliz-
yards and deep SHOWS in northern

plains and sections east of Rockies
win get some of the January SHOWS.
In all northern sections, where the
soil freezes deeply, the amount OF
moisture now in the frozen soil Is of
much Importance to next years crop.
AS the spring thaws come that mois
ture will, if sufficient, sustain the
crops till well into June; but if there
is now only q small amount of mois-
ture the crops will suffer If rainfall
should be deficient in May and June.
Along the coasts Of the Gulf of
Mexico truck farming begins in F'ebru-
ary and those farmers must determine
their plans in January. All kinds of
farming should be carried on in ac-
cord with future weather. For a dry
season requires methods vastly differ
ing from those necessary for wet sea-
sons.
This is more important in that great
rich soil country, the plains and sec

er who guesses at what the crop
weather will be, there, takes great
risk and will miss it two times out
of three. Our weather system will hit
it at least two times out OF three and
therefore it will never pay any farmer
to rely on cropweather being close to
the common average. 1t is almost
certain to be materially above or be-
low the average.
