At the district court of the United
States in Charleston last week the
case against j. NJ. Steedley was mol
pressed by the district attorney. Mr..
Steedleys friends interested them
selves in his behalf some time ago,
and the discontinuance Of the case is
the result of their efforts. This is
very happy ending. The government
lost nothing in the matter, the small
amount involved being settled some
time ago.
Meet me at the Felder-Murphy
Company's new store, next door to
the post office.
Referring to the question asked by
our Ehrhardt correspondent as to
furnishing supplies for next year, the
plan it seems now to secure advances
will be to take mortgage of the
crops. AS to whether this mortgage
can be taken before the crop is up
and growing, we have not been ad-
vised definitely, but it seems sure
that mortgage on growing crop
will hold good. We will soon get
out some of these mortgage forms.
