Dramatic Switch
OF Woman Witness
Features Augusta Trial

AUGUSTA, Ga, Jan, 31.-A wom-
ans love for a man triumphed over
mothers love for her son when

rick is on trial in superior court, on
the stand for the state, switched and
became a witnessNfo for the defense.
"You love Patrick, don't you?"
Solicitor General Franklin asked the
woman, A full minute filled with
dramatic ,tenseness passed before
Mrs. .MurreH answered. And then
with tears in her eyes, and sobs
racking her body, she replied:
eyes. I love him!'
Murrell was killed on the night
of December %, his throat being
cut almost from ear to ear. The
Killing is said to have followed a
quarrel, and witnesses for both sides
stated that both men had been
drinking.
Following Mrs. Murrell's state

subsequent reputation of an aft
davit to the effect that Patrick had
thrown her across pile of wood
prior to the arrival of her son, So
licitor Franklin advised the court
that he had been trapped by the
woman.

HOME Of MONROE
To Be PRESERVED

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press).-The old brick house
at SO Prince street, where James
Monroe, fifth president Of the Unit
ed Sratei died, Is to be cleaned and
preserved for it's historical interest.
The American Scenic and History
society has announced that negotia-
tons for it's purchase were nearing
completion The building is now a
storage warehouse.
In Monroe's time, the dwelling, of
two stories, basement and attic, was
in neighborhood of good homes. Its
walls are now overshadowed by ugly
garages and jobbing houses. Rag
pickers use the parlor as a ware
house for trash. The doors sag from
their hinges, the plaster has fallen
from the walls, and in the front,
where Monroe's carriage and pair
often were seen, wheelbarrows come
and go with rags and bones and bot
ties.
Dirt Of many seasons has almost
hidden from the casual eye small
bronze tablet on the outside walls in
scribed with these words:
I'm this house died James Mon
roe, fifth president OF the United
States, who proclaimed the Monroe
Doctrine, upon which depends the
freedom of the American republics
and the safety of the United States
against foreign aggression. Born
April %, 1868, died July 4, 1881. Sol
der of the Continental army. Mem

France and Spain. Negotiator OF
the Louisiana purchase and the
Florida purchase. Secretary OF state:

FEDERAL LAND BANK
HELPS MISSISSIPPI

STARKVILLE, Miss, Jan. 81
While this section of the state is
passing through the most ingent
financial situation for many years,
but for the aid that the farmers OF
Oktibbeha county are receiving from
the Federal Land Bank of New Or
leans, it is almost certain that con-
ditibns here would be panieky.
Few PEG lie realize the magnitude
of the land banks activities in this
section. Beginning in the fall of
1917, this institution has closed loans
in this county on agricultural lands
aggregating 1857 $50, and covering
223 farms. But the most interesting
feature is that during the period
since this bank reopened for bust
ness, six months ago, more than a
third of this entire volume OF bust
ness has been handled. ND
The record for this six months Pc
riod shows siXty-two loans complet-
ed, aggregating $123,700. These tlg-
ures exclude all duplicates, renewals
and cancelled paper, and represent
the loans now actually completed
and remaining uncancelled. A very
wholesome feature is the fact that,
especially with reference to the re-
cent loans, every cent of this money
was borrowed for the purpose of pay
ing off pre-existing indebtedness.
This means that the $123,700 does
not represent any increased burden
on the farmers, but merely shifts
the burden by paying off local loans,
and has thus become available to the
banks of the county and other lien
holders here to be placed in circula-
ton among the people. thus, to all
practical purposes, doubling the
value of this sum in financing farm
ing operations in Oktibbeha county.
These loans are being handled ex-
clusively by local attorneys, and it is
through them that t! e best ideas can
be obtained as to tho rapidity with
which this financial relief is being
obtained for citizens here. 1t is fair
to assume that during 1922 this
county will receive assistance from
the Federal Land Reserve bank suf-
ficient to entirely relieve any money
shortage which might otherwise ex-
list locally.
