They brought out in Dr. J. W.

Then the way the I lawyers look at you and ask you quee- 1 tions is enough to run a body crazy. ; Every time 1 am called as a witness I have to go home afterwards and ; shut myself up in my room and just 1 give way." The testimony of Miss Townsend corroborated that of County Physl- I clan J. W. Hurt, who attended Mr. Crawford.

Crowd Cheers Knife Duel to the Death by Glare of Coke Oven UNIONTOWN, PA., Dec. 2.—With only the glare from the coke oven men fought a duel with knives at the fires to guide their movements, two plant of the Brownsville Coke Com pany near here early this morning. A crowd of spectators urging them on, the men battled until John Jones went down with a deep thrust through his abdomen and another through the right lung. John Bokoff, the other principal, a few minutes later gave a queer sob and crumpled up. When the spectators picked up Jones life was extinct. Mortally wounded, Bokoff was hurried to hospital by the police. The cause of the fight is not known. the aisles of the golden rain, and looked up with a sort of awed rever ence at the tall statue of Ben Hill and the stately portraits of General Gordon and Alexander Stephens and General Evans and Robert Toombs and the other heroes of the Old Geor gia. And it is quite likely that none of those sturdy youngsters would have flattered himself that he, too, was playing a part for the New' Georgia— and that the prototypes of those he roic pictures on the wall surely would have taken him by the hand and praised his labor on the red old hills and told him the future of the Em pire State was well placed In his hands.

CARROLL & HUNTER called Night Shade,’ ” Miss Dixon says in her essay, and goes on to treat the topic with a fine and dis criminating evidence of study and real knowledge. To show that the knowledge was not theoretical mere ly, she mentions the fact that the net profit from the tomatoes grown on her tenth of an acre was $57—at the rate of $570 an acre, and it was ex plained by the agent that the profits had been figured on the government rating of 80 cents a dozen for the cans, whereas most of the club mem bers easily realized 10 cents a can "straight." The labels all bear the Fayette County Club’s brand-mark. the “4-H“ brand, it is called; the four H’s standing for “head, hand, heart and health." And that is so popu lar a brand down in Fayette County that the demand was far In excess of the supply, although many of the members put up more than 1,000 cans of vegetables. Then there were fruits and vegeta bles, and delectable conceits in pick les and such things, all in clear glass jars, and all beautifully preserved—■ any discriminating eye could see that there was care and devoted attention packed in every Jar and attached to every label.
