Good morning, dear old citi-

TALES OF THE TOWN

ence what you say. You have been
skinning people in this town for
year, now, and you are not go-
ing to rob me-" declared Crosby.
Mr.. Crosby was seated with his
feet against Humphreys desk.
The big fellow jumped up and
slapped at Crosby's face with both
hands. The smaller man lodged
and only one hand struck him.
Humphrey grappled with Crosby
and, so he stated afterwards, tried
to turn him over so that he could
kick him in the rear. Crosby
proved rather difficult to turn
over so as to be kicked in the
rear and, as a result, he was kick
ell on other parts of his person.
Clerks in the office then separat-
ed The two men and Crosby went
away with his bruises.
Humphreys Pays Fine.
Mr.. Humphrey got away to Vir-
ginia but, on his return, stood ar
rest and paid a fine in the sum OF
$25 and costs. Mr.. Crosby then
sued for damages in the sum Of
$4,000 "'F pa - -: -
The trial Of the case was in the
district court, before Judge C. L.
Lewis and a jury, Thursday, June
20, 1898. .......~l 49,.
Mr.. Crosby was the first witness.
He swore that Humphreys was the
aggressor and that, after. being
knocked down by the big promot-
or, he was jumped on and kicked
by him.
DR.. A. S. Chase testified that he
found six bruises on Mr.. Crosby's
body. One was over the liver. cit
might possibly have been danger
ous," said the witness. Another
bruise was on the hip.
Humphreys a Heavy Weight.
Mr.. Humphreys then was called
for cross-examination by the plain
tiff. He admitted that he weighed
215 pounds at the time he tried to
kick Crosby's rear elevation.
Questions as to the defendants
interests in timber, real etate and
mining, calculated to show his
ability to pay damages, were ruled
out by the court.
Mr.. Crosby, being called, stated
that he weighed only 155 pounds
at the time he was assaulted. On
cross examination, Humphreys
lawyer said:
"You look like James j. Cor
bett, do you not?"
II probably do" admitted the
witness.
Crosby Lacked Corbett s Skill.
Mr.. Crosby in those days, was
straight, slender and wore a pomp-
adour, a la Corbett. He denied,
however, that he was possessed Of
the then champions skill and
force as fistic fighter.
- A. H. Crassweller, then assist
ant city attorney under the late
Henry F. Greene, testified that,
after Humphreys paid his fine in
municipal assault, he admitted
that he had kicked Crosby and
| said that he would do so again
under like circumstances that If
he had not that privilege, he
would take his wife and family
and leave town.
s. V. Gilbert also testified as to
Mr.. Crosby's bodily bruises after
his encounter with Humphreys.
= Kicks Not Properly Placed.
In his own defense, Mr.. Hum
phreys stated that he slapped Mr..
Crosby for his language on the
spur of the moment; that where
he came, from, such words would
be resented in even a more serious
way; that he tried to turn him
overSto kick him in the rear, as
lie had once done to a man in a
previous racket; that Crosby
proved hard to turn over; that he
kicked him five or six times; and
that he may have failed to plant
the kicks in the appointed and
proper place.

TESTS WILL Be MADE
OF GRAIN FOR LIVESTOCK
Expected That Several Thou
sand Dollars in Stock Feed
Can Be Saved

Chemical tests to determine the value
OF grain and forage of all kinds pur-
chased each year by the city to feed the
livestock of the different departments,
will be inaugurated by February Is. The
tests will be conducted by Cecil P. Poole,
mechanical engineer who also conducts
tests of the coal, gas, gasoline and lu-
bricating oils, purchased by the city.
Several thousand dollars is expected to
be saved the city annually through the
testing of the stock feed. The city in
1917 spent $4,000 for grain and forage
and in 1918 IL has been estimated that
the cost would be upwards of $3.50, 900.
Mr.. Poole said Saturday that the tests
of stock feed would determine the value
of three important elements-the fatty
of the grain; the amount of
protein, which supplies muscle and bone,
and the amount of carbohydrates, which
is the starchy element
Equipment for testing the forage has
been installed in the mechical engineer
ing department.
No standard for grain has as yet
been specified, but Mr.. Poole says that
within a few weeks official specifications
will call for the best quality of feed the
market now affords.

TAX ON VEGETABLE OILS
CONDEMNED BY ASHCRAFT
Declares Federal Laws Hinder
Instead of Foster Impor-
tant Industry

That the agricultural workers and the
cottonseed and peanut oil mills of the
south should, i'm the present food crisis,
join hands i'm attempting to III Z
what he termed the discriminatory tax
or a valuable food product, c. w. Ash
craft. of Florence, Ala, speaking for
the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers' as
ISOLATION before the Southern Agricul-
tural Workers association, in session
at the Piedmont hotel, declared Thurs
day afternoon that the federal laws,
which restrict the market for vegetable
oils result in a stupendous food waste.
Vegetable oils, he pointed out, when
combined with animal fats, make most
valuable food as butter and cheese and
the inrustry, he declared, should be fos-
tered instead of driven out of business
by prohibitive taxation.
The cotton oil press urges that the
milk supply for the children and nurs-
ing mothers in the cities will be con-
served and the table fats supply will
not be diminished" he said eff cream
cries will churn food-oils in enough
milk to make ten pounds of butter,
thereby making 100 pounds of margar-
inc, and bottle or condense or powder
the other nine-tenths now used in but
ter making.
This would add materially to the mar
ket for whole milk at advanced prices
over what mere butter makers are able
to pay"
This, he declared would benefit the
dairyman in that it would save for them
a large part of their product and enable
them to market 1T at a good price.
The efforts to prevent the coloring of
vegetable fats by vegetable processes
he termed as discriminating and unjust
and aid in the prevention of the produce
tion of much valuable food and wealth
for the south.
Under the present system" he said
butter fat crops bring about so cents
for 3,490 Galleries of food, while oil
crops bring less than 20 cents for A.
0S0 calories of food
Can it be possible the southern ag-
ricultural workers will not cry aloud
against this stupendous wrong? Fraud
and poverty fiourishes in an atmosphere
of ignorance. You are the educators.
Other speakers Thursday afternoon
were A ]. Glover, of Wisconsin, editor
of Hoard's Dairy magazine, who claim
ed that the yellow color of butter is
its trademark and that to allow a sub
stitute to be made in that color was to
encourage fraud; Fielding Wallace,
president of the Interstate CottonSeed
Crushers' association; w. NJ. Hutchin-
son, president of the Georgia Cottonseed
Crushers' association, and B. H. Rewl,

bracing $4,000 men and $500 officers,
"is larger than the regular navy when
war was declared and three times as
large as in the Spanish-American war,
Secretary Daniels declared today in adj
dressing the special graduation class of
300 reserve officers at the naval acad-
envy.
This is wonderful record for a
service authorized eighteen months
ago." the secretary continued, and it's
creation has made possible m n y

has been called upon to do"
Mr. Daniels told the young officers.
who have successfully completed h a
prescribed fourteen weeks course, that
when they left Annapolis today they
would find important assignments await
ing them and their achievements would
depend upon themselves. Much of the
secretary's address was taken up with
recital of the brilliant achievements
of the American destroyer fiotilla in the
war and the bravery of American gun
crews aboard merchantmen.
Read the story of the Cassin," he
said, which, though struck by torpe-
do and seriously crippled, refused to
return to port as long as there appear
ed a chance of engaging the submarine.
Thu whole country was thrilled by the
account of the exploit of the Tanning
and the Nicholson in destroying a Ger
man submarine and capturing it's en-
tire crew. The British admiral in COM
mending officers and men, said: The
whole affair reflects credit on the disci-
pline and training of the United States
hotilla.'
"The first officer lost in the present
conflict, Lieutenant Clarence G. Thomas.

Let us not forget those two gunners

down the submarine which attaked it;

Wireless VIII Garry
From Washington To
Pershing in France

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Direct radio
communication between Washington
and army headquarters in France will be
made possible this year with the COM
pletion of the S2,250,000 radio station
now being built in France by the navy
department, which has charge of all,
radia communication. At the close of
the war, under arrangements made, the
station will be taken over by the French
government.
Available French stations are not OF
sufficient power for transatlantic COM
munication, at least on the scale desired
by the United States. AS a result the
cables have been crowded with govern
ment messages to and fro even during
the night hours. 1t is anticipated that
the new station will be finished in Au-
gust and by working with the Arlington,
Va, station or the new high-power plant
at Annapolis. the radio system will ar
ford quick relief.
