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.

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.
