Odd Fellows Orphans Home. while
he was superintendent of that insti-

tonight at $50, after a elaboration
of over Is hours. His sentence was
fixed at ten years in the penitentiary.
1t is reported on the streets that on
the first ballot the jury stood eight
to four for the death penalty.
Crawford heard the verdict with
little emotion.
Four other indictments on similar
charges are pending, and Prosecuting
Attorney Earle G. Casey said he
would endeavor to have the cases
tried during the present term OF
court However, 1t is believed that it
will be impossible to secure another
jury, and that the cases will go over

can prevent ruinous market con-

the part of the growers. But if you
will look over the past you will see
that the best price paid for cotton
is after the farmers have sold it..
The only exceptions are in the years
when big crop is made and the
surplus is carried over. Then the
cotton gamblers sometimes get in
the game late in the season and
force the price down. In small crop
years the price always goes higher

TREATMENT SUGGESTED FOR
DYING OAKS BY THE U. S.
DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY

Capt. William Wilson, custodian
of the National Cemetery in Mari
eta has taken up with the T.. S.
Department of Entomology the
causes of the tress in the cemetery
dying out. He gives us the fol-
lowing information which might
be of interest to any one who finds
the trees on their premises in the
same condition.
TIE most serious trouble, the
department says, is the slow dy-
ing of the oaks caused by the com
bined attacks of certain rootboring
insects, root disease and bark
beetles in the branches. Our recon-
mendations are to promptly dispose
OF all dying and dead trees during
the winter. On those trees where
only branch or part of the tree
dies, these branches alone should
De removed and a heavy application
of lime worked into the soil over the
roots.
Any further information desired
on the subject can be had by writ
ing to A. ID. Hopkins, Forest Ento-
mologist. Washington, D. G.

NEGRO HANGED IN
PECULIAR WAY,

Atlanta, Ga, January 8th.-A
negro living near Lick Log Gap was
recently hanged while stealing the
fresh-cIeaned carcass of a hog, ac-
cording to a prominent North Geor-
gia citizen bringing the report of
the case to Atlanta.
The nog had been killed and
cleaned and hung out for the night
Next morning the owner of the hog
discovered it missing and started
out to trail the thief. About a
mile from the mouse he found the
hog hanging on one side of a high
fence and the negro thief hanging
on the ether side, the negro as dead
as the hog.
In climbing the fence with the
hog on his shoulder, according to
the report, the negro had let the
gambrel stick slip and it had fallen
over his head and snapped his neck
in a trap in the twinkling of an
eye.
