Hi.-After being in their room for only one hour and a half, the Jury In the case of the Stato against Le Roy B. Tuten brought In a verdict of not guilty. When it was announced that, a verdict had been reached the court warned the people not to make any demonstration, and not a sound was made by tho crowd in attendance as the jury Hied to their seats. The verdict was not unexpect ed, and when lt was read by the clerk a touching scene was enacted as the defendant and his elderly father shook hands with their attorneys and the members of the Jory. Tuten was charged with the mur der of J. R. Langford, a prominent merchant, and farmer of Hampton county. Langford was found dead in a Held near the outskirts of Brimson In September of last year. At first it was thought, that he had died from natural causes, but examination led the authorities to take a different view of the case. This led to the arrest of Mary Har ris, a young whlto woman, who was alleged to have been Intimate with Langford, and Richard Williams, a negro. The two prisoners were car ried to Columbia for safekeeping. Subsequent statements by the girl led to the arrest of LoRoy B. Tuten, a well known farmer. Mary Harris was the principal wit ness against Tuten, hut her testimony was greatly weakened by several con flicting statements she had made in regard to Ibo case. Tho trial hogan Tuesday, and two days wore taken up in testimony and arguments. The final speeches were made yesterday and the case was given to tho jury, which soon re turned its verdict. A chango was granted from Hamp ton county to Bamberg on the ground that Tuten could not got a fair trial in the county In which tho crime was commit led. Train Kills Man and Horses. Gainesville, Ga., Nov. 16.-Pied Black, agod 20, was instantly killed and Roo Crane was seriously Injured, at Oakwood, near hore, to-day, when a Southern railway passengor train ran down a wagon they were driving.

A flood of affidavits was let loose in the circuit court hore to-day at the beginning of tho hearing of an appli cation by E. G. Clark, ar wealthy mil ler of Shady Bend, for a chango of venue In the case in which he with eight other mon ls charged with "as sault and battery" In connection with tho tarring of Miss Mary Chamber lain last August. Miss Chamberlain was in court, accompanied by her mother and brother. Since Miss Chamberlain was de coyed to a lonely spot on a country road, seized by a band of moro than a dozen mon, her clothing torn off and her body coated with tar, she has remained in close retirement in her home In the little Shady Bend community, where she taught school, and where, lt ls said, her popularity with tho men causod Jealous wives and sweethearts to urge husbands and lovers to Inflict on her the tor ture which created a storm of Indig nation throughout the State. At the opening of court to-day County Attorney McCanless stated he had more than 300 affidavits to of fer to the court to prove that there ls no reason why a fair trial should not be given all the accused men In this county. Pleas of guilty were suddenly an nounced by three of the most promi nent accused In connection with the tarring of Miss Chamberlain. These announced pleas of guilty: E. G. Clark, president of tho Shady Bend Milling Company; Watson Scranton, Shady Bend farmer; Jay Fltzwater, Shady Bend farmer. Judge Grover reserved sentence. When court was < ailed County Prosecutor McCanless presented affi davits from many citizens of Lincoln county to show that the cases could be tried fairly In the county. "We will announce to the court that we have decided to withdraw our appli cation for a change of venue," de clared S. C. Millekln, of counsel for the defense. When the formal pleas of guilty had been announced, one of them by Clark, upon whose case tlioso of the other eight men accused of connec tion with tho tarring were expected to hinge and Judgo Crover had re served sentence, tho court said: "lt is necessary that I reserve sentence for, as I have heard no testimony, 1 really do not know the nature of the offense. Accordingly 1 will wait un til the other cases have been heard." Tho first surprise at the pleas of guilty over, Sherrin Clark, a mer chant of Shady Bend, A. N. Simms, a former employee lu Everett Clark's mill, and John Schmidt, a farmer, were placed on trial charged with "assault and battery." With to-day's pleas of guilty In, four men now stand guilty of a part lu the taning of tho young school teacher. The first was Edward Ri cord, the barber, who pleaded guilty yesterday and who also remains to be sentenced by Judge Crover. Chester Anderson and Delbert Kindelsparger, laborers of Beverly, who some timo ago were sentenced in a justice court to 00 days' Imprison ment each, are to be tried later on appeal. Five men have already paid fines of $1 each for their connection with thc case. They witnessed the "tar ring" and were convicted and fined to prevent them from refusing to tes tify against friends.

Speaker at Municipal League Says Federal Policy Helps Tigers. Richmond, Va., Nov. 16.-With the conclusions of discussions on fran chises, education and police and liquor problems, the 17th annual meeting of the Nntional Municipal League and the 19th National Con ference for Good City Government came to a close to-day. Los Angeles invited the convention to meet there next year, but the meeting place was left to the executive council to name. F. S. Spence, a municipal official of Toronto, Canada, told the delegates that so long as corporations operated public utilities under the franchise system there never would be satisfac tory service. Plans for an extensive study of local option and all other questions allied with the liquor problem were recommended in the report of the committee on liquor, presented by Canditus O. Kidder, of Orange, N. J. A determination of the safest hands In which to lodge the Issuance of liquor licenses was deemed to be of prime Importance. Tho Federal government, through the operation of some of its statutes, was pictured as the friend of the blind tiger and the liquor interests as against prohibition, by William H. Thomas, of Montgomery, Ala., In an address on "The Prohibition Movement, in the South." "The practical effect of the United States revenue statutes, interstate commerce laws and the use of tho mails," he declared, "is to make the government the friend and coadjutor of the blind tiger, the brewer and the distiller and defeating the will of thc people by granting Federal li censes to whomsoever will pay to go Into any prohibition State and vio late the law. If the government re fused such licenses in prohibition ter ritory, a large percentage of illicit li quor selling could be totally abol ished." About Ostrich Farming. The latest industry in the United States to be tabulated by the govern ment ls ostrich farming. liaising of poultry has long fasci nated a large share of the American population and is fascinating more and moro because of the enhanced price of eggs and the growing quality of the literature telling of tho possi bilities of the great American hen. But the literatures have barely touch ed thc subject of ostrich farming. Uncle Sam's writers of bulletins in the department of agriculture have started at lt and they present an In teresting picture. In the first place, it appears that an ostrich chick six months old ls worth $100, and a pair of good os triches are worth $800. The business has taken some hold in this country and ostriches are raised in Arizona, California. Arkansas, Texas and Flor ida. lt has been demonstrated that, various parts of the United States arc fited for ostrich raising. Tho American imports of ostrich feathers In the fiscal year 1010 amounted to more than $5,500,000, and they are increasing, whence! lt. appears there aro large possibilities here in the way of a market. The amount to bo re ceived from the feathers of each bird in a year varies from $20 to $30.< Moreover, both the ostrich eggs and tho flesh are good for human con sumption. Consul General Skinner, from Ham burg, makes a report on the Hagen beck ostrich farm near Hamburg. This farm grows ostriches success fully. Moreover, they grow larger there than In hot countries. At this farm tho ostriches aro hatched partly In tho Incubators, and a largo-slzod duck acts as foster mother to thc young birds. ?od, from womanly weakness" Walnut, N.
