A Woman in Paris Charged With
Killing Three Children _
8MOTHERID THEM.
Uttlc Erldeoe* Her. The Clr-
cmutances Are Identicil in Each
Instance. Her Method ol Ef
fecting Death is Sbroaded
in Mystery.
A dldpa'c i from Paris says one of
the simogest orlaalaal owes on record
ft France was brought to trial Mon
day morning. The defendant la a
woman. Jeanue Weber, 35 years old,
who is charge! with killing three
children and attempting the murder
of the fourth all within the space of
flye weeks. The circumstances under
which the children were killed are so
mysterious, however, that the estab
lishment of the guilt of the wtman
may bi impossible.
In each instance where the death
coiurred the same circumstances were
noted. The woman waa found holding
In the arms the corpse of a child under
two years of age, who but a few mo
ments be fore bad been laughing and
flaying, fio signs of violence were
observed eicept that the faoea of the
victims were contorted.
Autopsies showed no traces of pois
oning and the deaths were thought to
be accidental until the wi man was
found with the fturth child in her
arms', which was eVved'ffbrb ktiffoc*
Won. The other oases were rrcilied
and the woman was «i rested, charged
with child murder. The defendant
stolidly protests her innocense. Spec
ialists who examined the woman fat)
to find any tract of insanity.

Grew Battles
1 V Snakes nm Deek.
A nerve tingling ettry of afoot
hour battle with two pythons twenty-
five feet long was brought into port
of Mew York recently by the steam
ship lodraaamha, together with a
tale, lit lighter vein, of how an ee
caped orangoutang netrly drove him-
self crasy by pulling tfte cord of the
steamer's whistle and falling to con
nect hi* actions with the maddening
shrieks of the signal. The vessel
took two months for the trip from the
Orient. Five pythons, eight orang
outangs, one hundred moakeyt, one
leopard, two Ind an deer and the
regular oargo of Oriental goods were
carried. Seven orangoutangs died on
the voyage.
~ The fight with -the pythons took
plaos in the Indian Ocean. They
were taken to the deck In cages to be
washed. After the bath they lay in
the warm sun mnd went to sleep. The
warmth proba 1 ly male them feeTat
home end they uncoiled. It was
about the time they usually were
fed.
Two of the huge snakes writhed
from between the ban of the cages
and crept along the deck. Ghlef
Officer TblrkeU was napping whew
the startling sight of tr e two reptiles
winding ilowly toward him almost
unbalanced bis mind. He broke re
cords getting to the-stevn, and yelled
to tbe crew. Captain Craven ordered

noucoement that of tbe one
South Oarolinlana who went cut to
Oklahoma with a view to remalulng
there permanently tliere were only
three who did tot return to their
homes In South Carolina.
Tbe abuth Is oertaioly good enough
for moat people, and there are more
.reasons for this than the mere fact
that we have 10 marked extremes of
beat and oold, And that the -sky is
generally blue.
Ofcjurse climate la the south’s
greatest and rarest gift. The free
dom of outdoor life la pleasantly poe
atbie the whole year round, which
la not only a moat agreeable elate of
affairs in Itself, but which means a
.great deal to the igrieulturiet. Nat
urally, the practical aspect of the
case (s that which appeals most irre
sistlbly to eocYhome jMitikers as those
southeruera who have nomtly come
bark home sgain after visiting the
week, and It Is to the pract cal as well
•• to the sentimental ind romantlo
standpoint that tbe south makes its
most sure appeal.
To begin with, land is cheaper here
than in the west. Tula is, of course,
a great consideration to these who
, have only a limited amount of money
to be expended In acres, aod to whom
It means much to have enough money
left over, after the purchase of the
requisite amount of land, to build a
bouse and the out tu Idiogt ,
Those interested in the settlement
-r of the west have bad much to say
about the greater richness of the land
there, but it is a well known fact
that when tbe land is richer in the
West than in this section of the south
it Is where it has been more Indsfatl-
jjably worked and fertilised than in
other places' It has been demonstra
ted more than once that one farmer
can rales over two hundred bushels of- 1
potatoes on a single sore', while
anoth r can barely raise one hundred
on the aora adjoining, even though
both pieces of land have equal valuei.
From which it la readily seen that it
Is the man as well as the land that
questionably’ the people of the
- beat are more energetic and induatri
tu* than those of the south, and this
la largely due to the fact that the
west has to fight harder for what It
gets thanjloee the south. All who
know this seotlon at all know that
t_ there hundreds of growths here which
Nature gives almost for the mere
asking* because of (hie the southern
farmer la aide to support himself and
family entirely eff of what he raises,
bavin* In clear cash all that he re
selves for cotton, corn and other pro
dnoe carried to the markets.
Not over a hundred miles from Au
gusta there Isa certain prosperous
farmer who sells quantities of cotton
and com and woo buys absolutely
none of his supplies except salt. He
raises his own beef aod pork and has
plenty of corn to feed his stock. He
owns rloe fields and raises his tea,
the front avenue leading to his house
bslng bordered by tea plants. Sugar
and syrup he makes from the sugar
cane he raises. Fruit aud vegetables
of all klnds be has In greatest abun
dance, and he baa reoeutly begun to
can on a tremendous scale tor tbe
market tomatoes, peaches, pears, ap
ples end berries. ~
Blow Open Bafct
At Forsyth, Oa., the safe of the
Trio Manufacturing company was
blown open at 1.30 o’clock Wednesday
morning. Tbe town’s night watchman
was overpowered, gagged and tied by
three masked men and was found
early Thursday morning In a precari
ous condition. Tbe burglars got about
•100 In money, but it Is Impossible to
estimate at this time tbs value of pa-
every man to arm himself heavily.
For an hour tbe men manoeuvered
to pinion the heads and tails of tbe
snakes. Every time a man got near
one of the escaped prisoners Its tal
swung around like a carriage whip,
and a blow from it would have laic
any man low. Tbe Chinese and J*
psneee members of tbe crew were
driven frantio. They took to the
rigging “• ’
The captain, however. Instilled
courage in o them by darting sudden
ly at the head of one snake and grip
pftg Its nickr
imbued with tne same spirit, shot in
like & panther aud gripped the tail
With nets and blankets the monster
was enmeshed end returned to the
cage. This was after three hours of
footwork that would have kept
tratneo boxer guessing.
The other snake crawled to the top
of the engine house aud held Its post
for an hour, its head swinging from
side to side, pendulum like, always
ready to sir ke. The ventilator, how
ever, proved the snake’s undoing.
The python fell throbgh the vent!

A letter just received from tbe Pres

Interferes with the education of the

Miss lane K Mackenzie writes tbe

scholars whom she describers as Intel

eager to learn, she writes: *
veryjhappy were the little girls

fell urd?r the curse of the marriage

A Strong Statem nt on R cent Cen
sus Bureau U* p >rt.
President Harvle Jordan, of the
Southeru Cotton Association, last
week gave out a statement In which
he takes severly to task the census
bureau at Washington for alleged
shortcomings- He says In part:
"The action of Director North,

"Mfim, the little girl In question

log drunk at tbe wells of learning-1
hung in her but as a diploma hangs
In a doctors c ffloe—witnessing to her
poor little achievements. She slept
in my hut and did me some service,
paid my debt with a needle and some
thread. When next I go I shall take
her some patches. Patches are dear
to little African girls. Poor Amaoa
when she was taken away went'down
the path wiping her eyes on her bits
of patchwork, " l
"We were sad when these children
were taken away. Any work tor girls

girls will oome. Some whose parents

of
the oemus bureau, in falling to make
public all the Imrormatlon be secured
from the ginuere January 16 aod his
persistent refusal to do so, Id face of
repea ed demands, Is exciting oonsid
stable Indignation throughout th*
South. Mr. North asked, January 16
all glnners for the following inform*
Uon:
"‘How many bales ginned for the
season of 1905?
" What is tha average weight of
bales ginned to date?
What li your estimate of the per
oentage of cotton remaining to be gin
ner. ?' t
"Tne public received tbe result of
the answer to tbe first question on
January 23 In tbe statement that 9,9
98,111 bales had been ginned. The re
sult of the other two InqulrlM have
been withheld so far. I wired Hr.
North Tuesday aa folios a.
" For what purpose was the average

of cotton to be ginned after January

port? As this la public ofihlal Infor
mation, kindly wire me today the re
■ult of the estimates aa ahown.
"In reply to the above, Mr. North
sent the following:
"'Average bale weights will be
made public aa soon aa can be compil
ed. Estimated amounts to be ginced

President Jordan says that 70,000
bales of the croptweie ginned prior to
September 1, and were counted In the
commercial crop of 1904-05, but have
hern made a part of the census bur
eau report of 9 998,111. Daduotlng
the 470,000 bales from the published
total of 9,908’,I’ll leaves 9 528,111 to
be counted In tbe crop of |1906 06: Add
to this 150,000 bales and there still re
mains a crop under ten million bales.
He says wide investigation shows that
spot holders are not selling their cot
ton and that practically there Is no
cotton for sale In-tbe face of the pres

This Year to Be Qae of Rains and
Freshets.
, Speaking of tbe weather, says the
Newberry Observer, this Is not going
to be s good year for low ground corn,
for ther# are going to be heavy rains
tom lands. This Is not Tae O werv
sr’s original prognostication, but Mr.
D E Seaseif Newberry county says
so. He bases his opinion on the
weather of the 25th of January
forty years that if January 25th Is s
bright dear day the bottoms do not
oveifliw and of course there are good
crops cf bottom core; but If tbe 25tb
is cloudy or raining look out for over-
fl jws. Tbe 25th this year was decid
ed'y cloudy and rainy. Another dti
z^d’s observation for the past three
years c >n firms Mr. Seaae’s forty years
observation. 80 If anybody goes ahead
now, in the face of prophecy, and
plants his bottoms In corn and li
his crop he will have himself to
blame.

was driven ashore under fire of the

The Hebe and tbe blockade Anne
