1t comes from an authoritative
source that the Endicott-Johnson
Shoe Company OF Endicott, " Y is
looking for a location to establish
a branch factory at some point in
the South, and the information at
hand Is that the company prefers
some suitable point midway between
the North and the South The COM
paay has several places in view,
and 1t is said among them Is Blue
field. Whether it is true or not
that this city enters into the calcu-
lation OF the concern cannot be
stated definitely, but 1t is known pos
itively that it is it's intention to es-
tablish a branch factory south of
the Ma on and Dixon liae and that
1t fayors a city midway between the
two sections.
The Endicott-Johnson Company
Is one o. the largest concerns Of
the Kind in the country, AMI If it
were to establish a southern branch
1t would be on an extensive scale.
Bluefeld is certainly suitable
place for such an enterprise. and it
has been uggested that the Cham
Der of Commerce might put in few
good ticks for its community by
writing these people AMI calling
their attention to the advantages Of
the location

EvERTON PUTS HIS
JA|LER IN TRANCE
TO AMUsE HIMSELF
Hypnotist Makes Subject Go
Through Motions of Pick
ing Flowers and Fruit.

Prof. Arthur Everton, the hypnotist
who is being held in the Somerville jail
for the death of Robert H. Simpson
who died while under Everton's infiu-
ence. has as yet failed to get the neces-
sarx $4,000 bail. Alvah A. Clark, Ever
tons attorney. failed in his effort to
have the bail reduced.
The prisoner has convinced the doc
tors in the Somerset Hospital that
hypnotism has no deleterious effect on
the vital organs.
Despite his gruesome experience with
Simpson, Everton is still willing and
able to perform feats of hynotism. To-
day he placed Jailer James Major in a
cata1eptie condition, with the jailer :
consent, in the presence of Drs. Long
and Halstead. He made the man gf
through the motions of picking fruit
and flowers and later placed him with
his heels on the back of one chair and
his head on the back of another.
! The prisoner seems in better spirits
than he has been at any time since
Simpsons death.
