not afford to plant cotton at present
prices A few days ago he sold from
his farm two car loads of Spanish pea

with Long and his wife and was di-
rected To hunt another boarding

the bottom of the prosecution.
Be that as it may the statements
which the parties interested made
about the matter revealed very jul

summoned as witnesses
Long was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Core shortly after noon on
Tuesday as mentioned in this paper
on that date. He was to have a
hearing before Justice Shoemaker.
When the hearing came off he was
dismissed on the ground of defec
