JUSTICE COMKS HIGH
"And It Ain't Worth It," S?y? (It*
McGe? in Ander?on Muil
About 2 y?ara ago I sold Jay Byrd
a i'Ow for $107.50, Jay paid me ?? 60
cash ami promised to puy the butane ?
in 30 days. This cow was a fill? reg
istered animal and Jay sold him for
$125.00 all cash. 1 waited on Jay th
allotted SO days, but 1 failed to get
j my money. 1 waited 10 month> long
er and spent many days making trips
to Jay's house for the purpose of
collecting this debt, but Jay remained
steadfast, and paid me not.
So 1 proposed to hire mo a lawyer. !
You coujd get a good lawyer then for
$25.00 retainer. I sued Jay. . The
cost of the papers and serving the
complaint amounted to $9.55. Jay
answered my complaint and swore h
owed him $120.00 and I guaranteed
tbfc, cow not to butt and he butted
Jay down the second day after he
bought him.
Well, we went to law. I got a good
judge to pass sentence on the evU
dence. I dlan't have to pay the judge,
but judges wore being hired then for
about 10 dollars a day, being almost
two-thirds as much, as a bricklayer
was getting, He had a first-class
court stenographer who was pulling
down about 7 dollars a day, being
about one-half as much.^s a plusterer
got for 8 hours work.
It seemed that the court had sent
out in t))e highways and by-ways and
brought in 12 men to serve on tho
jury, each of which got,, about $1.50
a day, being about 25 percent of what
a plumber got for a regulation day's
work, The whole jury cost only about
$18.00, but they stuck the court for
dinner. I thought they were a little
bit high, too.
Jay's lawyer stung him for about
10 dollars for the day's work, being
about the average price paid a good
automobile mechanic ? for adjusting
carburetors. There were about 24
more dollars-and-a-half jurors sitting
around the court room waiting for us
to get through swearing ansoforth.
There were also about 50 or 60 men
sitting around in the auditorium lis
i tening to. the evidence arid the
speeches. Most any of these guys
could have been earning 75 cents a
day if they craved work.
i I brought up my ten witnesses, but
they got nothing for testifying, and
were hardly worth that. Jay had 15
witnesses and most of them swore
that I knew that bull would hook and
that he was dangerous, and was
known all over the community as a
fence buster and a man killer, and
that I just sold him to Jay so's he'd
hook the lard out of him as I didn't
like, him because he shot' 1 of my
hound dogs 10 or 15 years ago. Jay
turned out to be the leading member
in Saint Paul's church, prayed in pub
lic, and was also a tither. (As a
matter of fact he rarely ever attended
church, when he did go he hung
around outside till the collection was
taken, and if the Lord's work ever
got a dime out of him nobody ever
found it out).
It was a hard fought ease. The
jury sweated and squirmed and the
judge looked on constantly with much
interest. Me and Jay and that bull'
had certainly stirred up something.
I was afraid our lawyers were going
to fight. They didn't shoot the bull
in question, but they shot it just the
same. The trial started at 9 a.m.
and at 5:30 p^m,' the judge charged
the jury. The jury retired at 5:59
p.m. and they stayed retired for a
Jong time.
I sat out in the court room, rest
less, uneasy, worried and my mouth
was so dry I couldn't spit and my
head was swimming, and I was in an
all-round bad fix, but that jury juried
right on. About 2:35 a.m., the fol
lowing morning they came out, the
Judge was phoned tof but he eouldn't
get over to the court, house that night,
so a sealed verdict was handed to the
deputy.
I went home. Couldn't sleep.
Never spent such a night. Under
stand Jay was in the same fix. The
witnesses didn't seem to give a darn,
but believe me, my goat was got.
I was at the court house at 7:30 the
next morning. Court opened at 9
o'clock. The judge put on his kimonn,
walked up into the pulpit, and asked
the clerk to read the verdict and he
read as follows: "We the jury have
failed to agree and it's a mistrial."
There I was: my bull gone, done
swore and sweated my self half to
death and the whole thing to be gone
over again. The total cost so far to
all concerned was $768.25 exclusive of
the eost of the chairs that the jury
broke up. Jay still owes me, and we
are waiting on the supreme court to
say why. That's all.

Senators Charge Large Crop For fount
Wrong and Aids Gambler*.
Washington, Oct. 26.- The depart
ment of agriculture estimate indicat
ing u cotton yield thi.s year of 15,226,*
0o6 bales, drew fire today from two
^?nfttoru from cotton producing
states.
Senator Caraway, Democrat, Ark
ansas, declared that any one who i?*
acquainted with conditions in the be.t
this season fealiaes that there are
"not 15,220,000 bales or anything ap
proaching that tlgure of spinnablc
cotton in the Southern states this
year."
Senator Harris, Democrat, Georgia,
expressed doubt that the final figure
for the season woulil exceed 14,000,
000 bales.
Charging that the government
seemed to lend itself to every move
ment to depress the price of cotton,
Senator Caraway declared, 4'it is time
to referm or abolish the department
of agriculture which has lent itself
consciously or unconsciously, to every
gambling raid on the farms of the
South and West."
"I shall myself (introduce a bill to
meet this situation when Confess
meets a month hence," he added, and
"I shall demand immediate consider
ation of it. The bill t will urge -will
make gambling in uH farm products
a crime with penalties to serve that
none will have the temerity to violate
It/* '' *',*.? .-?*$
Scnavor Caraway charged that "to
every one it must be apparent that
intentionully or otherwise these cot
ton reports have this year cost the
cotton growers of America not less
than a quarter of a billion dollars.
"Whenever there is an apparent
recovery of the cotton market, the
bureau of crop statistics of the de
partment of agriculture gives out an
estimate many thousand of bales in
excess of the wildest hopes of
bear element of the cotton gambling
fraternity.
"It is not worth while to look to
the department of agriculture and
the cotton exchanges of )New York
and New Orlearts for relief1 from
these raids of the speculators 011 the
cotton growers.''' If the government
and the bear interests-were in actual
alliance they could not cooperate more
effectively to destroy the values of the
cotton growing industry.
"It is sincerely to be hoped that
the coming Congress will end all laws
legalizing gambling in farm pro
ducts."
Senator Harris declared^ in a state
ment that he believes the crop re
porting board has been influenced un
duly in giving too much consideration
to the ginning figures issued by the
census bureau. He said that not ten
per cent, of Georgia's cotton crop re
mained to be ginned on the date fixed
in the ginning report adding "it is ab
surd to think that over one third of
the cotton crop of the belt vet re
mains to be ginned."
"The greatest drought in seventy
years covering an extensive area of
the cotton belt together with early
planting, high fertilization and rapid
cultivation on the part thq farm
ers in an effort to beat the boll weevil
which they have evidently done suc
cessfully, has contributed to making
thirf* year's cotton crop mature one of
the earliest on record," said Senator
Harris, "and I seriously doubt if the i
final figures will exceed 14,000,000
bales. It appears as if it is to become
necessary to have the crop reporting I
board composed of men residing in I
the cotton belt who are more inti
mately acquainted with conditions, in
cluding all features contributing to
cultivating, gathering and marketing
| the cotton crop."

The I'ittman Murder
To tho man who poura over his
newspaper# and with laborious effort
gathers t herefrom tho gist of the
days' news, why reason of his
limited knowledge of such things
is not any too familiar with tho
intei pretaUon placed by tho pQUfil
upon the "rights of prohibition of
ficers" In . making searches ami
sei/.ures, the action of Federal Judge
CuChran in diructing a verdict ol. u^t
guilty in the case of the murder of
J. I>. I'ittman by a federal prohibit
tion agent in Heaufort county last
May is of more gruvtyjp concern, po>>
sibi> , than it is to ih?- now?pa|>er.?,
or the man who keeps fully abreast
of current events.
It is a long stoiv, but to sum il
up in a few words the officers, accord
ing to the testimony adduced at thj
trial, had information of the e\pect
of a shipload of whiskey in that
vicinity.' Seeing what they took to
be a .signal they approached Pitt
man's boat, his home, which w*t
stationary on stocks; ami, supposing
it to be the boat referred to in their
source of information, they climbed
aboard Without warning. The hour
was about midnight and when they
were discovered by the owner of the
boat, who occupied it as his home, he
fired upon them. They returned tlje
fire, shooting him dead. In defense
of the agent it was testified by mem
bers of bis party that the boarding
party, on seeing Pitt man rush for his
gun, called to him that they were pro
hibition agent-* or officers. If they
did, he may have -heard them and ho
may- not. If he did hoar them he had
no way of knowing they were telling
the truth or not. He may have be
lieved them to be robbers.
Pittinan had no whiskey for barter.
Less than a quart >vn* found in hi*
boat. Apparently there was no rea
son for him to resist search. Aroused
at the midnight hour by several men
crawling along the deck of? M?-boai,
he shot. And lie was shot down, shot
by officials within tho law, so much
within the law that a federal judgo
does not permit the case against the
slayer to go to the .jury. So there
you* are.
As the Greenville News expresses
it, "This case may be peculiar to the
prohibition law. The effort to en
force it thoroughly appears to make
necessary the taking of a human life
now and then."
But as the Columbia State puts it,
"This much may be set down with
certainty. Though ten thousand men
may be killed by agents in circum
stances similar to those in which the
poor and friendless trapper, Pittman,
was slain, arid though not one killer
suffer the penalty of an hour's in
carceration, each such killing will
make more difficult the enforcement,
of prohibition."
The truth is, each such killing will
make more difficult the enforcement
of all Jaw, for it undermines in the
hearts of men a wholesome respect
for law. More than that, each such
killing tends to confirm a belief al
ready too common, that the law is on
the side of the man in authority, or
the mail of wealth, or 9 f influence. ?

The Cotton Report.
The government's fortnightly cot
ton estimate gives the trade another
surprise,, but it is at lenst consistent
in a way with its last report. Two
weeks ago the official cotton seances
reported a gain of 800,000 bales, this
time the mediums see nearly 500,
000 more. Probably two weeks hence
we shall huvc a sixteen million bale
crop. ' ?
If the present estimate of 15,22G,000
bales is anywhere near right, how
ever, then the official estimators were
badly off two weeks ago, for little, if
any additional cotton has been pro
duced in the last two weeks.
The ginnings total of nine and a
half million bales seems high. Lan
year on the same date ? October 18?
over seven and a half million bales
had hw?n ginned, which was 55 peiv.
cent of the total crop. If the same
percentage of total has been ginned
this year, there would be no doubt of
a tremendously large crop. Cotton
picking and ginnings have been un
usually early this year, however, and
there are many who believe that at
least three-fourths of the crop has
been pickcd and ginned. The final
production figures on this year's crop
will provide some interesting data
with which to compare the govern
ment's checkered career of cotton
prognosticating through the present
season. Meanwhile cotton drops over
a cent a pound on the market*. ?

.superintendent, is from the Home!
News of September lttjh:
The Manhattan State Hospital, j
which i.s located on Ward's Inland, in
the Hast Hiver, opposite K. 116th
street, ip a community entirely sep
arated from the vest of the city.
The residents take no notice of
events that happen in the crowded
district near them. They are, what
might he termed, inhabitants of an
other world.
The inmates of the hospital num?
her about 0,800 mentally deranged
persons who are receiving treatment*
There are a!so nurses, doctors, inn
attendant*, several hundred of them.
A number of specialists are there at
all times studying the unusual cuHea
among the patients jp the, interest of
science.
Daily life on Ward's Island differs
greatly from the routine popularly
supposed to exist in other hospitals
fqr the insane. Only <* very amni)
number of the inmates arc c lassed is
violent an<F have to be kept in con
ftfement. The majority of th^n
would be considered by visitors as be
ing nerfectly normal.
All, except the hopeless patients,
are given a Igr.eat amoUnt of freedom.
They help to do the work of the in
stitution and attend classes Where
they are taught to do a great variety
of interesting and useful things.
Dr. Marcus II. Heyman, superin
tendent of the Manhattan Hospital
for the past 35 years, is known as
the unerownvd King of Ward's Island.
He was superintendent of the ho&pitul
when the oldest patient now living
there was admitted and has met tin''
others one by one as they came in.
All the patients know him, and look
to him as the man that stands be
tween them and the world which
many of them believe is bent on por
s^'-n?ing them.
iwery effort is made to make the
hospital routine comply as nearly ns
possible to the ordinary life of a nor
mal community. A public auditorium
which has recently been built at a
cost of $140,000, is used two or three
limct a week in offering cni&rta)}?
ment to the residents. Heading
Broadway shows often come to per
form and moving pictures are .shown
quite frequently.
Ono of the latest improvements to
the institution iR the new "sunlight"
bakery. The building, which houses
ovens and all the necessary equip
ment, cost $1.30,000. The bakery is
operated by the inmates who work
under the direction of trained bakers.
Many of the lnm*tea during th?< *
summer months do gatxlcfrlng work
and ofte;i produce enough vegetables
to satisfy their neetfs and sometimes
ha vp a surplus to sell. Occupational
classes arc instituted largely with
the aim of occupying the winds of
patients in order to Keep them from
brooding about their condition,
I Women are taught to model, draw,

Research work is constantly being

with the hospital.
Thirty-seven per cent of the poi

eventually discharged as cured. Some
of these are kept under observation
for. several month* and occasionally
some are sent^^*ack, but 17 per cent
are considered as absolute cures,
