Nashville.-The problem of state
finances made it's appearance at an
open meeting of the agricultural com
mlttee OF the legislature when they
went to Jackson and inspected the
west Tennessee experiment station
and considered the needs of that insti-
tuition. Chairman Edgar J. Graham
requested that local business men and
farmers tell the committee something
about the benefits of the experiment
station. A number of short talks were
made, in which the valuable assist
ance Of the farm in advancing the ag-
rlcultural interests of this division of
the state was told in glowing terms.
Members of the committee expressed
themselves as highly plased with the
demonstration work at the Jackson
farm and personally desired to do all
they could for it, but they were in a
quandary as to how to raise the
money with which to provide for all
the numerous demands that are being
made by state institutions, while an
annual deficit of 100000 is staring
them in the face.

Life Sentence Is Affirmed.

The supreme court affirmed a SEN
tence of life Imprisonment against
jeff Station, a young man; of White
county, for the murder of Arlo Green.
The conviction rested on circumstan-
t1al evidence, and it was developed
that Station was interested in band
of wildcatters near Cassville in White
county, and that Green, who was last
seen in his company, disappeared
about three days before he was to ap-
pear before the grand jury to testify
against those interested in the illicit
stills being operated in the commu-
nifty. On the morning after the disap-
pearance of Green, Station was heard
to say that he had left the country,
but ON search being continued for a.
month Green's body was found in an
abandoned we'll. The evidence clearly
showed that Green was killed by Stat
ton and others to prevent him from
testifying against them
