COLD DAMAGED FRUIT.

Greensboro Record.

The fruit crop got welt
Tuesday night that did con-
siderable damage. Much of it
is killed, especially the early varieties
of peaches and apricots, pears and the
like. Mr.. j. Van Lindley said he made
an examination and it is his opinion
that there will be about two-thirds of
a crop of peaches, but apricots and
plums are killed.
a Record man saw MI. John A.
Young, proprietor of the Greensboro
Nurseries, and asked him about the
fruit. He replied that he made an eX-
amination before leaving home to come
to the city and found that all of it
seemed to be frozen and that he could
not see how any could be saved
though he says the examination was
definitely as to its exact condition.

silence nj the White House.

For the first time Within q wcak
there was absolute silence at the
White House today. Even the chal-
lengc Of Senator PenrOse for member
ship in the liars club was turned
down, and Secretary Loeb took occa-
sion to say that the White House was
not responsible for the publication pf
the name Of the Pennsylvania Sena-
tor as the man who gave the first in
timation of the conspiracy 10 defect
the Presidents policy.
But the Presidents friends are sing
ing an entirely different song. They
say that tn" President is satisfied that
penrosc made the disclosure despite
his denial and that there is no doubt
that the PENNSYLVANIA Senator is in
league with the capitalistic combina-
tion that seeks the overthrow of the
Roosevelt policies. In this connection
the story is being repeated tonight
that ScnatOr-elcct Bone, Of Oregon,
