C \ THE WILL HICKM AN > GOES TO PEN Will Serve Sentence of Two Years at Hard Labor for Manslaughter THEORY OF CASE AS DEVELOPED Threats Reported as Having Been Made by Hickman Court Week. Will Hickman, the man who was convictod of manslaughter at the recent term of the court, was taken to the State penitentiary last Thursday where he will serve two years, the extent of his sentence for the killing of his father, Jesse Hickman, at Myrtle Beach, recently. Hickman's defense was that th< killing was an accident; and he attempted to prove this by the dying statement of the slain man. Bui there were circumstances in liis case which pointed to the theory thai Will Hickman was under the influence of whiskey at the time, and that his father was going up to the place where a whiskey sitli was he- , in*?" conducted, and Will Hickman, 110 knowing who it was but supposing the intruder lo be sonic person tryimr to catch him at whiskey stilling fired the fatal shot only to rind th:\; he had mortally wounded his own father. This theory of the killing was borne out by the testinn ny of the young man who said thai he wcni with Hickman after the doctor on the fatal evening after tho old man Hickman appeared to be in a dying con? dition. Hickman had told the young man as they went on that it looked like, his father, being as old as he was, would have had better sense than to try to slip upon him in that way etc. The dying statement laid it all to an accident, but did not explain in what way the accident was brought about. The old man could have meant that it was an accident whereby he was mistaken for somebody else and shot by his son in that way, when if his son had known that he was his own father, he would noi have fired the fatu' shot. * This is doubtless the reason why tne jury iounu tncir veruict as mey did. If they had been convinced of the exact truth of the dying statement as detailed by Dr. hell and one or two more witnesses?:*, they could not have clone less for him than to clear him of the charge. There was talk about the streets during court week after the witnesses for the State had been sworn t the effect that Hickman had said that he intended to kill a certain witness who had tstified against him, and that there was another man ' who had worked against him and he intended to get him. The impression made in the trial was that Hickman is a much worse ! man than he was at first believed to be just after the killing of Jesse H ickman. In the opinion of some the working out of his sentence will have I the effect of making Will Hickman a better man. o NOTICE OF SALE.

CON WAY I SINGLE STALK GAINS FAVOR Among Cotton Planters as Best Method of Raising Staple j LESS DAMAGE FROM WEEVILS Lowered Cost of Production Is Another Advantage Claimed For This \ Twenty-five to one hundred per cent increase in yield is reported by cotton growers who have adopted the new close-spacing system of cotton culture, introduced 8 or 10 years ago by the United States Department of Agriculture. Reports coming directly to the department and to southern agricultural journals, which have interested themselves in encouraging the new system, show that farmers throughout the cotton regions of the country are rapidly turning to the plan. Increased yield, less labor and expense for the same crop, and a lessening of boll weevil damage are I among the benefits recited in hundreds of letters written by farmers in various parts of the south. Indications are that the system will be adopted far more widely the coming season. Space Plants a Hoe Width Apart. The close-spacing, more commonly known as the single-stalk method of cotton culture, consists primarily in spacing the cotton plants so close in the row?a hoe width apart?that tho lower or vegetative branches do not develop, and the growth of the plant goes directly into the upper or fruiting branches, permitting them to betcin tho development of blossoms and bolls earlier and giving them more nourishment and more light. The cultural ideal under the new system is a cotton plant with only the single, erect, central stalk bearing numerous well-developed fruiting! branches, but none of the vegetative | branches or secondary stalks. The < suppression of the vegetative . branches is easily accomplished by . leaving the young plants close together in the rows. Thinning is de- 1 ferred until the plants are some fi or ! 8 inches high, or even later under 1 conditions of rank growth. If the ' young plants stand less than fi inches 1 during these early stages of growth 1 more of them will not produce many vegetative branches, but will have only the upright central stalk and the ! horrizontal fruiting branches. The distance between the plants is regulated with reference to local conditions and the habit of growth of different varieties, the range being! between six to twelve inches. The j plants then have a narrow upright form and can be left closer together; in the rows. Even with the plants: only 3 or 4 inches apart in the rows; there may be less injurious crowding; than with many stalked plants 3 feet' apart in the rows, usually 3 1-2 feet, I can also be varied with reference to I local conditions, but crowding the' rows together, so the sun does not' reach the ground, is undesirable es- j peciallv under wor>vil Small Plants May Outyield Large I Ones. In tho way of production two dis-j tinct advantages are gained, the smaller single-stalked plants free from j any large unproductive upshoots, proceed at once to the development of the branches which produce cotton \ bolls, and in many cases these small | plants produce almost as many bolls' and a better quality of lint than large many-stalked plants occuping the space of three of the smaller. The j bolls also are produced much earlier, on the small plants, and are more! likely to escape injury by the boll' weevil. The Egyptian cotton industry of the southwest, an achievement of the Department of Agriculture, which has added $20,000,000 a year to the annual income of the country, could not have been accomplished, in the opinion of department specialists, without the new close-spacing system for controlling vegetative branches. rpu? jo nr?n nnn nt\f\ I 11v; IR:IH;I H.-> tu LIHJ ,VM/U,Ui/W,UUW ton crop of the country at large, with continued cxtenrion of the new method, can only he faintly estimated. o NOTICE OF SALE.
