The jury was then to hear arguments
by Attorneys Henry U. Johnson and
c. r. Richardson. for the Defense and
it was expected that the case would go
to the Jury in the afternoon
Testimony which was introduced by
the state indicated that Carpenter was
not a man of exceptionally bad char
acter, as charged by the defense, and
that his record since he had been dis
charged from the army had been
above reproach. The state sought to
prove that Mrs. jackson did not bear
a good reputation. 1t was on account
of his wife that jackson shot Carpen-
ter.
The defense brought out evidence
to the effect that Carpenter had
threatened to kill jackson. The state
admitted that jackson had always
borne a good reputa ton in the COM
munity The defense sought to show
that jackson had on occasions asked
Carpenter to cease his attentions to
Mrs. jackson and that jackson,
alarmed by threats Carpenter was al
legged to have made against his life,
finally armed himself, fearing Carpen-
ter would attack him.

COTTON CONSUMPTION
LOWER IN OCTOBER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13-Curtail-
ment of cotton and manufacturing,
which has resulted in the complete
shutting down of some mills and the
placing of others on part time, was
reflected in the October cotton con-
sumption statistics announced today
by the census bureau. The amount of
raw cotton used for manufacturing
purposes last month was the smallest
of any month in the past six years
The quantity used in October was
399,837 bales, or $4,000 bales lest
than was used in September, this
year.
Mills in the northern states seem to
have curtailed production to a greater
extent than those in the south. Spin
dies active during October for the en-.
tire country number 674,291 less than
in October last year, while in cotton
growing states the number of active
spindles in October showed an in
crease of 164,940 over October a year
ago.

SIX COUNTIES, WITH
BELFAST, NOW HAVE
HOME RULE IN FORCE
(Bv Associated Press.

DUBLIN, Nov. 13.-The Irish par
Lament at Belfast for the six north
east counties is expected to be set up
mmediately, with the home rule bill
passed by the imperial government.
1t was pointed out that this would
serve as an example for all the rest
of Ireland and have a steadying effect
by showing the Sim Feiners that
Dublin and the other 26 counties could
have precisely the same machinery OF
self-government as Belfast will have
for it's six counties.
There is some agitation for amend
ments to the financial terms of the
home rule bill Ulstermen are OPP
posed to handing over to any Irish
body the control of customs and ex-
else. They do not want this privilege
for themselves and are determined
that it shall not be made available for
the rest of Ireland, fearing that it
might be used to the detriment of in
dustry in the northern section of the
country
Belfast men want more than the
6 100000 to be granted for setting
up it's proposed new parlia ment. They
also say that the sum of 91S,000,0 900
which Ireland is to contribute annual
ly TO the support OF the empire is 100
high. This would be reduced by about
93,O00000 a year by the annuities
now payable to the imperial treasury
by Irish farmers who have purchased
their holdings with government ad-
vances. This sum is in the future to
be divided between the two Irish par
liaments.
May Limit Irish Tax
One suggestion has been made that
Ireland's contribution to the imperial
funds shall be limited 10 the Irish in
come tax and super-tax, which at pres
ent amounts to 100000 or Ell, 000,-
900 a year.
Outside of Ulster. however, none of
these points is being discussed at all.
Complete separation and an independ-
ent republic is the Sim Feinn policy,
while even the moderates demand a
government for all Ireland on domin-
ion lines as completely free in finance
as Canada. The governments bill
does nothing to meet this view and its
creation of two separate parliaments
in Ireland with equal powers is re-
sented by every section of politicians
in the south and west.
