Euans Trial For Murder Attracts

 Jackson, Miss, June 30.-(SpeciaD J. A. Evans. former grocery mer- chant of this city Is on trial in the Hinds county circuit court for mur- der, his alleged victim being his for mer partner, W. A Wooten. A great deal of interest is manifested in the case because of unusual incidents connected with the killing.

Victim of Train
 Accident at Iron
 City Unidentified

Anniston, June 3o.-(Special.)-Bir mingham or Atlanta one can probably claim the young white man who was ground to death beneath the wheels of Southern freight train near Iron City Wednesday,. John Walker, the negro who was seriously injured at the same time, giving his own homo address as 52S Holeomb street, At lanta, but claims at the same time that he knew nothing of tho killing of the white man.
 The injured negro is still in a semi conscious condition and 1t may be that he will be able to give some in- formation as to the Identity of the other man, provided he recovers from the injury. Walker~has bad frac- ture of the skull on the left side of the head. and appears to be unable to recall clearly any previous event.
 Walker Is believed by Coroner Smith, Sheriff Parker and other of ficers to have been riding the same train with the young white man whose body was ground to pieces be- heath the wheels of the freight train Wednesday morning, and that the home of the dead man was either in Atlanta or Birmingham. as the negro has made statements to the effect that they lived in both cities.

Bradley, receiver. appealed from the Jefferson circuit court.
 The supreme court said receiver ship does hot relieve a corporation of It's obligations to the state, ard that as long as a corporation does business it must pay a franchise tax. The court also held in the same de- clsion that the acceptance of DOT tion of the franchise taxes from a corporation does not imply that the amount is paid, and that the state may collect any amount found still to be due, even though portion has been paid.

Encouraging Customers

Here Is where many farmers and truckers fall down in selling their products. Many of the very best and most successful growers are fail ures In their line of business, due simply to their inability to sell their stuff after they produce it. I have noticed that many times a farmer who has a load of produce of indif- ferent quality. along side another of exceptional quality, will sell out much quicker and often at better price than his neighbor. The cause is not far to seek when you notice what talk and encouragement has to do with it. Inferiority Is easily overcome by talkativeness., It often fools the most sedate philosopher Talk is known to be cheap, but it would seem to be necessary to teach the average grower, who believes in cheap things, to make a little more use of it. It takes brains to manufacture anything, whether a technical tool or a head of cabbage, while it takes brains and other attri- bCtes to sell them. This Is one good argument for cooperative market ing of farm products. Salesmanship IS needed and will be developed through some system of co-opera- tive marketing.
 Price of Seed
 It Is a rare thing that any com- modity is ever sold except there Is kick about the price. When the trucker buys seed. he always com plains of the price, and even the old lady who buys a single package of tomato seed, will hold it up to the light and waste more energy trying to count the seed than 1t will re- Quire to plant them. Ten cents worth of tomato seed will produce under fair conditions from 500 to 100 plants, that is, of the standard av- craze priced sorts, yet most people will kick at the small bulk of a dimes worth of seed. A bushel of ripe tomatoes of the standard sorts will only produce about three ounces of seed. The retail price of three ounces of bulk seed is only 50 to 50 cents, so you can begin to see that the tomato seed grower must get mighty little for bushel of ripe tomatoes. The seed grower don't figure more than 8 to- 10 lbs. of seed from ton of ripe tomatoes, and with some varieties, gets much less. Just try saving an ounce of dried tomato seed. 1t will cure you from kicking about the price of seed.
 Chickens In the Garden
 Nearly every one will tell you that chickens and a garden won't Go to- gether, but there Is lot of folks that take exception to this islander against what they call the garden CTS best friend. A lady wri'es in that she never had much success in her flower garden until she allowed her chickens free access. Another one says that insects are so bad that she would not try to grow anything without the aid of her chickens. There Is no doubt but what chickens can be made to serve a good pur- pose as insects destroyers in both the flower and kitchen garden. The great problem is to have the chick ems so confined that they can be turned in the garden at certain pe- riods, when any damage they might do, would be overbalanced by the immense number of Insects destroyed. Arrangements can aasily be made so as to admit only the little fellows or the half grown. The smaller chick ems are the great forages after il- sects and when bugs and worms are

 ciaD-An banks of the federal
 reserve system will be asked by
 the Senate whether or not they
 circulated a speech delivered in

 They will be asked to state also whether or not anyone inspired that circulation. and what the cost was. A resolution introduced sometime ago by Senator Heflin of Alabama makes such provision. He has al- ready made similar inquiry of the Atlanta bank, the first offender"
 All Hanks Included When it was suggested today that perhaps other banks had circulated the Glass speech, Senator Heflin amended his resolution so as to in- clude all banks of the system. The speech of Senator Glass was in de- fense of the federal reserve system which had been attacked repeatedly by Senator Heflin. The Atlanta bank claimed that it sent the speech to those whose names appeared on it's mailing list because the speech whs regarded as a fine exposition of the syst m as it is. The Glass speech has been adopted as a text In 2s collogcs and universities Its circu- lation is apparently assured.
 HefIin Resents
 Senator Heflin's idea, however, Is that the speech was circulated to in- 5ure him politically. It Is thought that he nurses belief that the inspira- ton of the circulation came from w.. P. G Harding, governor of the federal reserve board.
 There was quite lively sparring in the senate before the adoption of the resolution. It would not have passed but for Heflin's consent that it be emasculated.
 Provisions requiring the banks 10 send to Heflln their mailing lists so that he could send his speeches to those to whom the Glass speech had been sent was stricken out. Heroical- l yto the assistace of Heflin came Senator Tom Watson of Georgia. He assaulted the Atlanta bank for "at- tacking" a citizen of the United Sites, and indulged the usual crit
