IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT.
A Highly Respected Woman Sent to
IredeH Jail for Contempt of Court.

The presence of a woman in North
Carolina Jail for contempt of court is
something new under the sun. The
Statesville Landmark says that Mrs. r.
L. Early was sent to Iredell Jail because
she would not obey the order of the clerk
of the court.
The facts in the case are that as the
mother of K. L. Early, Jr., who was
killed by an accident on the Western
North Carolina Railroad, Mrs. Early
qualified as executrix to collect the $54 due
him. She collected it and paid his debts.
Afterwards, without suit, the railroad
paid Mrs. Early So, 500 on account of her
sons death. This money, Mrs. Early
claimed, was paid to her individually as
the mother of r. L. Early and not as
administrative. The step children, J. A.
Early and Mrs. Haithcox, objected to
this arrangement and claimed a share of
the money. r. L, Early being their
half brother, they claimed that they
were entitled to an equal share with
his mother. The mother refused
to divide, insisting that the
money had been paid to her individually
and was no part of r. L. Early's estate.
The step children, through their attor
neys, Messrs. Armfield & Turner, pushed
the matter and the result was that
Clerk of the Court Furches issued an
order citing Mrs. Early to appear before
him an1 show cause why she should not
increase her bond as administrative Of
r. L. Early or pay the 81, 500 into his
Office. Mrs. Early paid no attention to
the order. A second order was issued
giving her until last Friday to appear
but this met with the same fate as the
first. Saturday Sheriff White arrested
Mrs. Early and brought her to town.
She steadfastly refused to obey the order
of the clerk and as a result she was sent
to Jail for contempt.
Monday morning Mrs. Early's attor-
ney, Mr.. L. O. Caldwell, applied to
Judge Norwood for writ of hab8s cor
pus and the matter came up before His
Honor at $50 Monday afternoon. After
hearing the testimony Judge Norwood
remanded Mrs. Early to jail until such
time as she should obey the order of the
clerk. She went back to Jail, announc-
ing to His Honor as she left the court
room that she would die there before
she would surrender any of that money.
Thus the matter stands.

-Hilfiiker's cash store is in the
procession. Some would like to
have them in the rear but I guess
not. That is not the place for us.
It is not the position we are occupy
ing, as we positively see none
ahead of us, we must be in the lead.
That is the place as we never fol-
low, but always lead. We are the
leaders of low prices. We set the
prices and some try to initiate them
and also initiate our system of do
ing business, but they fall short of
the mark. We put a price upon
goods that will make them go out
with rush. We keep moving our
goods and not have lay on the
shelves until the boxes get broken
and the goods shelf worn and out
of style. We have new and stylish
goods arriving daily from eastern
markets where they were bought
way below the regular price. We
are daily changing and lowering
the prices as the market lowers.
What the price is today it may be
lower tomorrow. In the race for
trade and business we have our
eyes open and keep a sharp look
out for bargains and snaps, and
when we get them as we always
get them and as we always will, we
turn right around and distribute
bargains broad cast all over the
county. That is our style of doing
business.

The proposition to set apart a con-
siderable space adjacent to the proposed
International Mining Exposition grounds
for the purpose Of illustrating irrigation
in practical way, is one that will meet
with general favor. Irrigation cannot be
more effectively taught than by an OBJ
ject lesson of the kind named. A very
large number Of people even in the irri-
geted regions know practically nothing
about it. The manipulation and duty OF
water are important factors in successful
farming that require careful study.
Many farmers have yet to learn that too
much water is even more damaging than
n scarcity and that water applied al the
wrong time is detriment instead of o
benefit.-Colorndo Farmer.
"A writer in the Rocky Ford Enter
prise Of last week alleged that he could
see no shade trees or gardens in Lamar,
and that there were no orchards within
ten miles. Editor Barkley's reporter
should look up when he goes away from
home. Lamar mas many trees, and
hundreds of new ones Fare planted
yearly. Almost every residence lot has
its garden. A visit to Downer brothers
orchard, just north Of town, reminds one
Of old fruit countries This advance has
all been made IN six years. The first lot
was sold in Lamar on May Oath, 1886,
and it was three years before any con.
certed effort was made to beautify the
town, which was built on raw prairie.
When Lamar attains the age of Rocky
Ford she hopes to be ranked as one Of
the handsomest towns in all the state.
The Ford, it should be remembered, is
about fifteen years older than Lamar
