Italian Woman and Adopted Dsugh.

London, Jan. s.-Mme. cogo, the
wealthy Italian woman whose .mur-
dered body and that of her adopted
daughter were found recently in their
home by the Rome police, left the
bulk of her large fortune to her
three nephews, now under arrest
charged with the murders, says a
Rome diapateh to the Central News
today. The will left only a small sum
to the adopted daughter.
The arrest Of the nephews, accord
ing to the Rome advices, resulted
from testimony of Nine. Cogo's ser
want girl, who charged the three
brothers, the police stated, with
breaking into the Cogo apartments,
sitting the two women in their
beds and then dressing the bodies
and placing them in chairs in the
dining room, which was then set
ablaze to make it appear they had
been ,suftoeated. The witness attri!
buted the alleged act of the brothers
to the fear that their aunt would
leave her fortune to the adopted
daughter. :.

need and desire. This suggestion
seems wise and if the people here de-
sire to take advantage Of the offer
made in this respect it would be well
to let the fact be known at once.
The people about Allepdale have
found that the peanut furnishes e
good substitHpte money cF9p. From
each acre Of average land the farm
ers have been enabled to gather about
one half ton of peanuts and a ton of
peanut vine hay, the whole of an
average value of fifty dollars. The
hay may be used to great advantage
on the farms in reducing the annual
purchases from Western hay growers
while the peanuts and the surplus
crop Of hay may be sold.
The Press and Banner believes it
wise to follow the advice of the men
who have had experience in thsee
matters. We believe it wise to adopt
the suggestion that each farmer
plant about six acres of cotton to
each plow and that this cotton be
worked we'll and frequently. But the
tenant cannot subsist and the farm
er cannot prosper nor make ends
meet on what will be produced on
these six acres. We should plant some
other crops. We may plant sufficient
corn to provide, for the wants of the
farm, but further than this we can
not 90 with profit. Why not get two
or OF: three hundred farmers to agree to
plant three, four or; five acres of pea
nuts to each plow as an additional
money crop? IF FIVE acres make two
tons of peanuts the income from this
source will pay the tenants account
The hay would be on the farm for
feeding. the livestock. If the peanuts
paid but half of'this amount just that
much f,the farm expenses would be
provided for. If the experiment did
not prove of great value little would
be lost. A great deal will have been
gained if the experiment proves of
value. :
But as stated above no one should
60 into the growing of peanuts upon
proper information as to planting
and cultivation. We suggest to our
readers that if they are interested
in the matter and would like to take
the trip to Allendale for the purpose
Of. getting information they ;commu-
nicate with Mr.. Mabry Cheatham, of
Cotton. OIL Company, at
This place. If a sufficient number Of
peopleaarej Interested a trip will be
arranged by which. those interested
nay go through the country one day
and return, the next, or by rail, as
they prefer. The matter .is'nat urged
upon any individual, but an ,opportu-
fifty is offered. -..s, .... !
