BOTH SENTENCED FOR LIFE.
Stover and Pirkle Recommended to
Mercy of the Court.
Gainesville, Ga., April 12.—The jury
in the rase of the state vs. Harve
Stover rendered a verdict of guilty,
with recommendation to the mercy
of the court, ,at 9 o’clock this morn
ing. Judge Estes then sentenced
both Stover and Gharley Pirkle to the
penitentiary for life, both having been
found guilty, with recommendation to
merpy. The verdict in both cases
was somewhat of a surprise, as it
was generally believed they would be
found guilty without any recommen
dation.
Colonels Sloan and Galliard, who
defended Pirkle, have- filed a motion
for anew trial' and it will be heard
at Dawson superior court April 27,
It is probable that Stovef wm go to
the penitentiary to serve his term
without appealing for anew trial.

tempting to arrest i-ie negro, who

When Thomas ordered the negro to
halt he pulled his pistol and fired,
killing Thomas instant.y.

SECRETARY WILSON
MADE GREAT SPEECH.
The program was here varied from
and Secretary Wilson was the first
speaker of the day.
Mr. Wilson’s address to the con
vention was a splendid effort; splen

sound, common sense. He said he
came as a listener; came to learn
what the people needed so that he
could help them, that for the time
being he was a Georgian, seeking
to know what Georgia and especially
south Georgia needed; that the de
partment had already taken up the
sugarcane question and the manufac
lure of a uniform grade of syrup
therefrom. He made an earnest ap
peal to the people to diversify tin'
crops, described the situation in
lowa, where the people there raised
nothing but wheat showing diversifies
tion of crops and industries nad seven
the state; announced the ir>f- ' „ 0 j
the agricultural department to ne m
assist every section of the country m
tne particular lines of agricultural
products best suiteu to the soil and
climate, to that end an examination
of soils, to ascertain when disease
attacked any particular agricultural
product, the cause and find a remedy,
the necessity for practical scientific
knowledge; the notable want of suen
teaching in our colleges, the needs be
ing so great that the department was
now forced to educate young men in
the special education needed in the
practical work of the department. He
cited numerous lines In which the
department was trying to oenefit the
people. In agriculture by aiding in
examination o| soils and the element
needed for particular plant grown, by
fosting experimental work and send
ing scientific experts to localities on
lineß of special local importance. In
its weather reports, by giving needed
information as to tne movement of
storms and thus warning and protect
ing people on land and on water; in
providing against the storms of cold,
which destroy the orange tree by a
system of hybridizing witn a view to
obtain a tree which would withstand
the damage of such storms. The
efforts being made to encaurage tea
planting for the south, already com
mercially successful In South Caro
lina, the effort to make silk produc
tion in the south a great industry.
The opportunities for stock fattening
in the entire Georgia pine belt. The
Importance of turning over cotton
seed meal into meat before exporting
it and deriving the profit thererrom.
Mr. Wilson described the special
efforts being made in congress to
procure an experiment station in south
Georgia, to aid our people In prepar
ing a uniform syrup. Increasing cas
sava, the velvet bean, forage crops of
various kind. His references tp his
att. u.de toward the soutn and social
conditions was peculiarly tactful* and
happy and elicited unbounded ap
plause.
Tho secretary leaves our people
deeply impressed with the feeling
tuat every section §f our common
country has his conscientious and
watchful care and interest, that ho
is an American in every fibre of his
I being; that so far as lies in the power
of his department every section and
every interest will receive all the
help wirnin his power..
{STEVENS TALKS ON
SOUTH GEORGiA.
Col. u. B. Stevens, commissioner
{ of agriculture ot the state of Georgia,
{addressed himself to the subject of
“South Georgia Development.” His

contained many bits of valuable in
formation, which was not lost by
those in attendance upon the conven
tion. 'Mr. Stevens referred specially
to the proposed experimental station
for south Georgia and said he would
use his good offices for the passage
of the present hill looking to the es
tablishment of the station in this sec
tion.
BROWN ADVOCATES
THE Si Al ION ALSO.
Hon. .1. Pope Brown, ex-president
of the Georgia Agricultural society,
and prominently spoken of in connec
tion Wmi the present gubernatorial
race, spoke from tne subject of “South
Georgia Experimental Station. ’ He is
an earnest advocate ol this measure,
and his speech yesterday portrayed
many valuable reasons why the
United States government could, with
consistency, locate the station in this
section. Mr. Brown also touched upon
the sugarcane, cassava and velvet
bean proposition and gave the con
vention the benefit of the great store
of knowledge on these subjects.
3TOCKBRIDGE ON
THE VELVET BEAN.
Prof. H. 0. Stoekbridge, of the I
Florida experimental station, was as J
signed to the subject “The Velvet 1
Bean and Kindred Spirits,” and his

of the most valuable of the day’s ses
sion. Prol. StocTTTil'ii'ge believes in

a very nigh degree the happy faculty
ol bring able to demonstrate every
proposition which he takes. His a/i
Iress yesterday was a happy one and

Col. C. P. Goodyear, who never
loses an opportunity of talking foi
Brunswick, contributed to tne pro
gram yesterday, and ht“ neech wai
one ol the ablest delivered. He paid
I his respects to the pessimist, and
devoted his time largely to a liberal
discussion of industrial development
generally. Col. Goodyear is, at al!
times, a forcible speaker, but when

inspiration and his effort on this oc
casion was a splendid one.

REPUBLICANS ARE
NOT AT ALL
PLEASED
THEY CLAIM THAT MAN NAMED
BY ROOSEVELT IS NEITHER A,
REPUBLICAN NOR A DEMO
CRAT
DISSATISFACTION IN RANKS
OVER WILSON’S APPOINTMENT
“MAY LOSE THE STATE DELE
GATION.
Jackson, Miss., April 12.—President
Roosevelt's policy in making federal
appointments in the south has been
repudiated by the republican execu
tive committee of Mississippi, and a
deliberate snub handed out to "m: of
his principal appointees.
The matter is now an all-absorb
ing topic of discussion in political
circles, and in some quarters is taken
to mean that Roosevelt is quite like
ly to lose the Mississippi delegation
at the next haTTmal con- ‘■Lin of
the party.
Contrary to the wishes of Edgar S.
Wilson, recently appointee as United
States marshal and referee on federal
patronage, Chairman James Hill, of
the republican state executive com
mittee, has appointed ... A. Edwards
and sam P. Hurst to fill vacancies
on the committee caused by the
death of A. M. Lea and Henry Griffin.
A poll of the committee, which has
been carefully made, shows that the
appointments or the chairman will be
indorsed at the meeting to be ueld
next, month.
Wilson has ruled with a mgh hand
as the new republican boss of the
state, an. 4 this is the first oppor
tunity the regular organization has
had to express its opinion that he is
an usurper and not in harmony with,
tne main element of the party. He
had indirectly recmnmendeu
man Hill the appointment of W. F.
Swann and M. Mulvihill to fill the va
cancies on the committee, and the
claims of these gentlemen, both of
whom arip recent appointees of
Roosevelt, were not even seriously
considered by the cnairman who cher
ishes a deep personal resentment
against Wilson for influence exerted
in setting as.ue party recommenda
tions to the president.
Hid lias behind him practically the
solid racking of i.,e executive com
mittee and the old element of the par
ty which has been built up in this
state. He declares that Wilson is
not a republican, while on the other
hand it has been as vehemently as
serted that he is not a democrat.
Thus the republican boss, the pie dis
penser of the .party, finds himself In
the attitude of being “neither fish.
Mesh, fowl nor goou red herring."
MARTIN MADE A ROUGH HOUSE.
British Columbia Legislature Is in a
Very Warlike Mood.
Victoria, B. C., April 12. —“Fighting
Toe” Martin upheld his right to his
title in the legislature yesterday, hav
ing two wordy wars with members,
hi one rase he invited Captain Tat
low, member of the Vancouver legis
lature, to “come outside ana repeat
your words,” and another he called
down was Mr. Kidd', of Richmond, for
saying he (Martin) had made a state
ment knowing it to be untrue. Mar
tin said:
“l might have lied, but you have
io right "to call me a liar.”
The little passage at arms was
smoothed over.
UNDER ARREST. HE KILLED
Chief of Police Is Shot to Death by
Prisoner.
Elkin. W. Va„ April 12.—Chief of
Police P. C. Marstiller was shot and

woodsman, whom he had arrested and

ver from his pocket and fired.
Davis was recaptured by a posse.
When he was brought back to town
a jnob of about 1.000 subjected the
officers having ..im in charge and the
cry of “lynch him” soon Decame a
roar, hut after hard work the posse
got him on a train and landed him
.safely in the jail at Philippi,
