Ward Under Heavy Bond.

i e Il.

Night Waterman Lynch of the
Green River Manufacturing Com
pany, was tried yesterday after
noon, before Magistrate j. G. Nor
row, and placed under bond of
$500, to appear at the next term of
criminal court.
Grover Davis, also connected
with the row, is under a bond of
$75, to appear at the same time.
The hearing was to have been
before Magistrate r. M. Oates,
but was transferred to Mr.. Nor
rows court. The witnesses were
numerous, and the grand jury
room was well filed.
Mr.. Michael Schenck represent
ed Mr.. j. r. Bell, who is determine
ed to break up the spirit of roWdy-
ism which is becoming manifest in
the neighborhood of his big mill,
and who is also inclined to the be-
Lief that when people gather In a
church for religious worship they
are at least entitled to- a guarantee
of freedom from disturbance.
Mr.. w. G. Rector represented
Ward and Davis. Mr.. Rector
urged the trial magistrate to re-
duce the bonds. This was done In
the case of Davis, from $3.50 to
$75, but the original bond In
Ward s case was allowed to stand.
Officer Lynch, who is the Mis-
sion hospital, Asheville, is resting
easily, a telephone message from

and it is believed he will now re
cover.
Morgan, the bad man from

Commissioners Shipman Gives Out
Facts Concerning the Report of
His Department for 1910.

His Department for 1910.
Raleigh EEening Times
The following summary of the
portion of the annual report by
the Bureau Of Labor and Print
ing. dealing with farms and farm
labor, will be read with interest
by all:
Reports from the various coun-
ties indicate a wholesome advance
In farming. Particular attention
is being paid to seed selection and
preparation of soil, and the study
given these subjects cannot but
result In much benefit.
Drainage of heavy and swamp
lands, and measures for the pre-
vention of erosion are also under
taken. The advantages of these
have been shown by the work al
ready accomplished, and it is to
be hoped that the increment to-
ward these seHds vii lbe much for
warded by the results already at
tanned.
The North Carolina geological
and economic survey is countri-
buting valuable instruction In the
way of proven methods along
these lines. With constantly in
creasing values it behooves the
land owners of the state to see to
it that no gullies and washouts
are permitted on their properties,
and the incentive for reclama-
of swamp lands cannot fail to be
seen when comparison of values
of drained and undrained lands
is made. Locally, there is slight
difference in wages, and, it fol-
lows, slight difference in cost of
production of farm products.
Following will be found the
conclusions, as shown by the
figures given in the answer to
questions sent out from this Of
fee. To those who have so con-.
siderably given Us this informa-
ton we desire to acknowledge our
Indebtedness.
The tables show an increase in
the value of land in ninety three
counties, and no change In FIVE.
Fertility of land is reported main
tanned in ninety-fiye counties;
three report that it is not main
tain. Three counties report
tendency to have larger farms;
ninety-fye smaller. Ninety-three
counties report labor scarce; five,
plentiful. Ninety-fve counties
report negro labor unreliable /;
1915, an increase of 80 cents per
month over last year Seventeen
report financial condition OF
working people good, ffty1eight
fair, twenty-one poor, one sad,
and one does not answer question.
Ninety-one counties report I'M
provement; six no improvement,
and one does not answer the ques
ton.
The report shows that sixty
seven counties produce cotton at
$33.37 per bale of 500 pounds;
thirty-on do not report; eighty
one counties produce wheat at a
cost of seventy-tWo cents per
bushel; seventeen counties do not
produce wheat. Ninety seven
counties produce corn at a cost Of
cents per bushel, and
one county does not report corn.
Ninety-five counties produce oats
at thirty-fVe cents per bushel;
three counties do not report oats.
Fifty-three counties produce to-
bacco at $40 per 100 pounds
forty-fiye counties do not report
tobacco. Thirty-three counties
report increase in wages; one
county a decrease, and sixty-four
counties report no change.

And1Whils Marion Butler was
managing Motley Morehead's s cam
Paign for chairman Of the Repub-
liean state executive committee
last summer the Greensboro News,
republican, said of him:
Many people want to know if
the holders of the fraudulent State
bonds are behind Marion Butler
IN his effort to get control of North
Carolina. /"
Who made Mr.. Butler a man

Referring to these assertions, in
a great speech at Laurinburg on
last Friday Ex-Governor Aycock,
than whom there is no more effec-
tive speaker in North Carolina,
had this to say:
These are the questions of the
Republican organ. They are not

sertions That paper has now the
same management and the same
editorial control which it had
when these questions were asked.
You are familiar with that form of
rhetorical question which is the
highest form of assertion, Is the
Lords hand waxed shortG' is the
most emphatic way of asserting
that his hand is not shortened, and
while the Greensboro News was
perhaps not familiar with this
scripture when it asked It's quGs-
ton about Butler, its question is
the most emphatic assertion that
the bondholders were behind But

hcans when they tell on one aa-
other, when can We believe then,

mony about one another, whe Is 20
blame, we or they?
If this is not a clincher we aae
very much mistaken in the meaA-
ing of that term. Governor Az
cock was making reply to open
letters from Motley Morehead and
Ireden Meares in which they took
exception to a statement of the
Governor charging that holders
of fraudulent bonds were furnish
ing meney for the republican
campaign. New they doubtless
wish "they hadn't gone and done
it. Concluding his speech the
governor said:
"But there is one other point
made by Mr.. Meares In his open
letter. He insists that these bonds
can not be paid unless their pay
ment is authorized by a vote of the
people. May / remind him that
this provision was put into the
constitution by Democrats; that
