WOMAN ACCUSED OF
BEATING A BOY,

Whether Willie Ayres has a good
home with Vollie Platter and his wife
or whether for the good of the child
he should be placed in other hands,
is the question before Judge T. p.
Gilliland this afternoon in the juve-
nile court where he is conducting an
inquiry into an alleged inhuman
thrashing which the woman is accus-
ed of giving the youngster
According to the story of the boy,
Mrs. Platter took an axe handle and
beat him until the little fellows
whole body was badly bruised. Neigh
borS took the little fellow and cared
for him and the matter was laid be-
fore the juvenile court.
The boys parents are dead and
Mrs. Platter has been caring for him
for some time. The woman's story
ia to the effect that the youngster is
almost uncomfortable and that the
threshing she administered was pad
ding with a shingle, given to break
the boy of alleged stealing.

CAB AND DRAY
DRIVERS DISPUTE
BOTH PROMISE TO STAY
IN THEIR OWN BACK YARDS
Final Nidjustmcnt of grievances En-
gcndercd by Expressmcn Hauling
Loads of Passengers 10 Football
Games without Having Secured n
Permit From the City.

The seraphic expression on the face
of the expressman as he handles your
trunk henceforth doesn't mean that
he knows Christmas is coming, neith-
er does the naughty refusal of the
cabman to haul your baggage mean
that he fears Santa Claus may not
come If he does.
Not at all. Therese.
1t is simply that the expressmen
and the cabman are being good, ac-
cording to promises made Judge Fitz
Gerald this morning when the latter
We're placed on trial for hauling the
high school football fanatics to and
from Matlock field, without a IL
cense.
Loren Coffman yesterday pleaded
guilty to violating the ordinance, and
sentence was suspended. This morn
ing D. B. Waffle, ]. c. Connell, ]. b,
HALEY and ]. Randolph changed their
pleas from not guilty to guilty and
fines were suspended so long as the
offense is not repeated.
The case grew out of feud be-
tween expressmen and hackmen, and
was brought at the instance of the
latter by W. c. Kennedy. The hack
men complain bitterly that in haul
ing the high school crowd to the
games the expressmen were invading
their rights-on the other hand the
eXpresmen complain that the hack
drivers have been hauling light bag
gage to and from trains, and demand
similar protection to their own busl- |
ness, AS the result, Judge Fitz Ger
aid bade both cliques go their way
and be good boys.

The value of the Produce Exchange
to the people of the Eastern Shore IN
the last few days has been so clearly
shown as to leave no one in doubt what
it means to them, if they will give 1t
the support which their own interests
and the exercise of a little common
sense demands that they should-and
no explanation is necessary for the sug-
gestion made by us along this line at
this time. The fact, that potatoes are
selling to-day for 20 cents more per
barrel than they were week ago and
that the the advance is due to the adj
vice of the manager, is too suggestive
to admit of an explanation. lllustrat-
ing as it does, the power Of the Elk
change and the advantages, which we
would have the right to expect on
much bigger scale, if all the farmers
were united in their support Of 1t, Is
there any farmer so blind who will not
see after while his duty in the mat
