Charged With Theft
of Car; Carried Back

An officer came here Sunday
from jackson, Mich, after Homer
Corley, charged with the theft Of a
big, fine car at that place. The
car was driven to this county and
located in the 18th district by that
eagle-eyed deputy sheriff, Will
Dunn, who also arrested Corley,
holding him until the arrival of the
Michigan officer. Corley agreed to
return without requisition papers,
and he and the officer left here
Monday, going through in the car,
with the prisoner driving.
Deputy Sheriff Dunn deserves a
nice little boquet for working up this
case.
Sheriff Bullock was notified Of the
theft of the car and he being quite
busy in circuit court, turned the
matter over to Deputy Will Dunn,
who soon located the car in his home
district and the arrest of Corley
followed.

To Open Next Monday

A letter received few days ago
by the Enterprise from Prof.
H. L. Smith, principal of the Sharon
High School, states that the school
will open for the fall term on next
Monday, Aug. 20, when all the pat
rons are invited to attend the ope-
ming exercises.
Prof. Smith has spent the past 10
weeks, which is ever since his school
at Sharon closed, at Peabody taking
special work. He has put in hard
summer equipping himself, and is
therefore all the better prepared
than before. The Enterprise has
always rated Horace Smith one OF
the foremost pedagogues the coun-
tv affords. He is clean young
man, thoroughly progressive and
chock full of energy. Sharon may
well count herself fortunate in hav-
ING a man Of his ability at the head
Of the school.

COURT ORDERS PAN
FL IN WILSON CASE
Interesting Question Of Law
Settled in Circuit Court We'd
nesday in Famous Case.

Quite an interesting question
came up Tuesday lin circuit court in
the case Of the State VS.. Jas. W.
Wilson. At the April term a jury
was impaneled and sworn to try the
case of Jim Wilson for killing Geo.
Ayler. After the evidence was
heard and argument by attorneys
and the charge of the court given
the jury retired at about II a. m. to
consider the case, and about / 30
the jury reported that they could
not reach verdict. The court there
upon instructed the jury to retire
and further consider the case. At
about a o'clock in the afternoon OF
the same day the jury again filed in
to court and reported that an agree
ment could not be reached. The
court thereupon discharged the jury
and entered mistrial.
At the present term of court,
when setting date for hearing of
the Wilson case, the defendant, Will
son, through his attorneys, Maiden,
Pierce and Hannings, filed plea,
which was sworn to, insisting that
the defendant had at the April term
been in jeopardy and that he could
not again be placed upon trial, in
sisting that the jury had been dis
charged without authority by the
court, and that this operated as
discharge Of the defendant. The
state, through Gen. Morris and
Jones & Jones, associate attorneys,
moved the court to strike said plea
from the files. The case was ably
argued at length Tuesday and We'd
nesday and on the latter day the
court reached the conclusion and so
ruled that the plea of the defendant
did not justify his charge, as pray
ed by him and the plea was struck
from the files as not a good and
sufficient plea.
This is the first time in the his
tory of Weakley county, so far as
can be recalled, that this exact
question has ever arose.
After the decision of the court
in striking out the plea, the court
handed to Sheriff Bullock the
names Of a large panel to be sum-
moned for the trial of Wilson,
which began Thursday, the court
naming the members Of the panel
himself. This action was had as the
result of mot;Nn to that effect by
the state. The court further an
nounced that hereafter in criminal
eases where either party, state or
defendant, showed good reasons and
requested him to name the panel
he would do so. This is considered
a splendid practice and has become
mrse universal since the f'mous
night rider trials, which was the
first time in this section that jury
panels were named by the trial
judge.
Court will adjourn Saturday, al
ter four weeks and five days of hard
work, during which time court Of
ficials have been busy every minute
of the time. Judge Elkins and Gen.
Morris go to Tiptonville Monday
for the hearing of a special case

SECOND FARM IN
SPECT|ON TRIP
Elan Farm Attracts Attention
Many Interesting Features
Gratifying the Visitors

Friday was the date set for the
farm inspection trip over the south
ern part of the county. Due to the
fact that SO many made this trip
during the special blackberry inspec-
ton trip, and a conflict with the
Fulton fair, not SO many cars went.
However, those going never saw
more well kept farms and fine grow
ing crops. A number of farmers
and farmers wives had gathered at
the beautiful farm home of E. H.
Elan and sons to meet the crowd
and entertain during the noon hour.
Mr.. Elam's farm was gone over and
the party was satisfied with the out
look. Large fields of corn with
beans in the drill and peas in the
middles not only showed prospect
for 10 barrels of corn, but abund-
ance of peas and beans for hog feed
and more vines for maintaining soil
fertility than could be plowed under
without considerable tramping by
stock. The large Irish potato patch,
beans for hay, sorghum, cotton were
in fine shape. From this farm last
wear better than 500 bushels of seed
corn was supplied to men over the
south and west.
Jess Franklin showed us ten acres
of cotton that bids fair for high
yield. In his patch he is conducting
a close spacing test. Two rows were
not thinned at all and his intention
is TO pick and weigh these two
rows separately and the two adjoin-
ing rows so as to note the difference.
From the enormous amount of wat
err melons cut during the day some
one on the farm must be specialist
in this line which work is contributed
to Knox. Adjoining the Elam farm
is the A.. Sharp farm which the
crowd inspected. Unless Mr.. Sharp
took us to the bright spots only, the
crowd was of the opinion that the
neighbors would not have to care
for him this winter. He is an inter-
esting farmer and one that always
Keeps everything in trim and ready
for inspection at any time. At the
noon hour Mrs. Elan and daughters
tobether with a number of good
neighbors was hostess for most ex-
cellent spread under the beach trees.
About IS were present at this hour
and all did justice to the good things
to eat.
After dinner, Mr.. r. D. DeBerry,
who cave over for the day from
Humboldt, made a very timely
speech, discussing agriculture in
many phases. Following Mr.. De-
Berry's speech, Prof. Clark was
called on to say a few words. In
stead of saying few words, one of
the best agricultural speeches that
the crowd had heard for some time
was listened to. Prof Clark is a
farmer as well as teacher. The
crowd was dismissed by Bro. Martin
after several men had offered reso-
lutions to do the job over again next
year
