Basing their figures on general

cost would be i'm the neighborhood
Of $500. This price would include
wiring. plumbing and heating.
Probably local estimates would not
bc far from this figure.
One OF the chief things TO consid-
er II you wish to build economically.
is the size Of the house. 1t is just
as uneconomical TO build too small
a home. as too large. 1t involves
probable remodeling later-which is
often rather unsatisfactory as We'll

IL also involves irritating and incon-
vcnfent crowding bofore the re-
modelling Is finally done. 1t is best to
plan for probable future needs, IL
possible. without involving a burden
Of unused space in the meantime.
The home pictured here solves the
problem admirably The two bed
rooms upstairs need not be finished
off at first, and you would still have
a complete. and desirable. five-room
home on the first floor This makes
il an excellent plan for those who
expect 70 build but once, and there
fore want a home that is not too
large for now. but which will fill
their needs for many years TO come.

ants testified that Clarence Whisonant
came to him and wanted to know If
he could get him O woman for Alex
Long, Jr. He said that Whisonant Of
ten got women for Long and he
thought it was all right. He was with
Oliver Crisp and knowing that there
were two crooks" in the depot, they
went after them. The women agreed
to go for a ride and they carried them
up to a point near the Cherry road.
He thought Long was coming by
himself and when he stopped q car
with two people in it he was unaware
that one of them was Whisonant. He
said he punched Long as he told him
that he must put up bond, that idea
occurring to him in order to save Long
from notoriety. He was posing as an
officer for Longs benefit, he said and
with no intention of robbing him but
with view to diverting suspicion
from the real mission.
Crisp Enters Denial.
Oliver Crisp entered n denial to any
conspiracy to rob Long; but declared
he carried the two women with Bate
man up the street from the depot at
Bateman's request. When Long didn't
come the two women became impa-
tient and went away. He denied tell
ing Bateman to tell Whsonant any
story about the baby drinking Kcro-
sene.
Whisonants father, Crisp's father
and Bateman's mother and sister were
present for the trial. The wife and
baby of Whisonant were also present
while Longs father was with his son.
w. b. Wilson assisted Solicitor Henry
in the prosecution; Thos. +. Mellow.
Esq. represented Whisonant while II.
NJ. Dunlap, Esq, represented Bateman
and Crisp.

Seeding Bur CIover.-It is about
time for the man who is fortunate
enough to have field of good bur
clover to consider harvesting and re-
sowing the seed, suggests n. f. Win
ters. specialists in Soil Fertility, who
also advises prompt resolving of seed
for est results.
AS soon as the vines are perfectly
dead and before the field is grown
up in weeds and grass, the vines
should be raked in piles and the seed
swept up with n broom and shoveled
into sacks. For home use a small
amount of dirt mixed with the seed
in gathering them up is all right. If
the seed are put on the market, run
ming over n double set of screens to
take out both large and small clods
will considerably increase their mar
liet value.
AS soon as possible after being
harvested the seed should be scatter
ed over the field where bur clover is
wanted next fall and winter. BY this
method the field will be covered with
bur clover early in the fall and Il good
growth will be secured next winter
if plenty of seed are used. From 40 to
so pounds of clean seed in the bur per
acre should be used.

Their Own Committee Has Compiled
Exact Official Data.

A committee, self-appointed on the
conservation of energy and promotion
of industry among office boys, was
asked for the results Of an investiga-

boys investigated the following was
determined:
Twelve per cent read movie maga-

Seventeen per cent. print their
names in various types over seventy
times daily.
Eleven per cent. watch the door
from the hall while they match pen
nies with other future presidents and
directors.
Three per cent. collect postage
stamps and spend their time sorting
them.
Seven per cent practice typewrit-
ing.
Four per cent. sleep.
Three per cent. sit and stare off into
blank space.
Six per cent. just sit.

Frank MCGOWAN at 4 o'clock wednes-

Frank MCGOWAN at o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon, his honor sustaining tbs
motion for the direction Of verdict OF
not guilty by her counsel, Thos. f
Mellow, Esq, on the ground that there
was no evidence tending to show that
she conspired to do her husband to
death or that she was present when he
was killed. At the direction of Judge
MCGOWAN, Foreman Martin Whitesides
wrote a verdict of not guilty as to Mrs.
Huggins. Following the publishing OF
the verdict Mrs. Higgins gave no sign
of interest in the fact that she was at
liberty, but continued to give her at
tention to her infant son as she had
done throughout the day.
When the case of Albert thinner
man and Mrs. Effie Ferguson Huggins.
charged with the murder of Pink Hug
gins, hr sband Of the woman, on the
Charlotte road just outside the north
eastern corporate limits of Yorkville,
November Z, last, was called there was
a packed court room of auditors eager
and anxious to hear every detail of the
most sordid and filthy case tried in the
York county courthouse in years. The
audience included many relatives ana
acouaintances of the dead man, rela-
tiyes and friends of the two accused
persons, court attaches and vast
number OF idle and curious who lis
tened with satisfaction and zest to the
reyolting details of Illicit relations be-
tween Zimmerman and Mrs. Huggins.
When the latter took the stand late in
the afternoon to testify in behalf of
her friend" Zimmerman after she had
bbecn freed by the court, she painted
Pink Higgins, her dead husband, in
culors so black as to bring blush OF
shame to every self-respecting man in
the court room. 1t was the consensus
of opinion that if her story of his con-
duct was true then his Satanic Ma1cs-
ty, the King Of Hell, is now entertain
ing in his empire of fire and birthstone,
one of the lowest and most dastdruiS
characters ever permitted to live for
awhile upon earth. There were many,
however, who accepted Mrs. Huggins's
story with reservations. Yet there was
much pity for LIBERALIZATION OF the
fact that she had lived hard, that hers
had not been bed of roses, that In the
path of life which she had trod since
she was married at. Is, there was much
of the bitterest and the hardest ana
the most vicious in life. There was
