INJUSTICE INFLICTED

Huntsville, May Especial y
Referee Murphy of the bankruptcy
court says that newspaper reports
sent out from Decatur, telling of
the disappearance of $35, 900 of bills
of fading for cotton from the safe
of Knight, Yancey & Co. is a gross
injustice to at least two partners
In the concern. No such fact has
been developed, said Mr.. Murphy
and nothing was said of this at the
recent meeting of the creditors of
the firm in Decatur. There was
nothing wrong with the books and
accounts In the office of the firm,
Mr.. Murphy says.

If the farmers do not make the
mistake of rushing their cotton on
the market, September cotton should
sell az a fancy price. The country
is experiencing The greatest cotton
shortage II has known in years and
there are thousands o: mills that
will barely be able to run un,i the
new crop comes in. The farmer is
not compelled to sell his cotton TN
til October the first, and he should
wait until the manufacturers and
exporters get real hungry for cot
ton before placing any of mis- crop
on the market.

A Rcbescn Gold Mine.

The following is from the Char
,tte Observer:
A single farmer in Robson
,unty has this season shipped
900 barrels of potatoes, thirty
ars of cantaloupes and eighty
ars of melons. He has not yet
tnsihed shipping his melons and
rxpects to get a bale of cotton
rer acre from the land which
ieIded his potatoes. 1t looks as
Robson might not be so des-
3erately interested in the high
ost of living after all,-Charlotte
Observer.
There is no estimating the value
II such a man as this Robson coun-
y farmer to a community. His
Iellow farmers may not be progress
sive enough in their ideas of farm
ing TO follow his example, but there
is no questioning the fact that
every year he Is adding wealth to
his county. But what this Robeson
county farmer is doing can be done
right here in Dillon county. Cot
ton has a powerful grip on the
people, but experience has shown
that success has followed in the foot
steps OF every man who has had the
courage to break loose from 1t. We
know of a man near Goldsboro who
plants his farm in truck every sprir 4
and then raises crop of cotton.
The richest lands on his place are
the lands he uses for trucking pur-
poses and he makes more cotton on
the land that produced a crop Of
beans In the spring than he makes
on the idle lands-and this, too,
without adding another pound of
fertilizer He makes more than
enough on his truck to pay for
planting, harvesting and marketing
his cotton. He 10 better off than

Woman Through the Hand and
the Lobe of One Ear.


Knoxville, Tenn. Aug. 25-Pedes-
trians on south Broadway late this
evening saw Henry Gardner, aged
26, approach a woman, fire two shot
at her, then turn the weapon upon
himself and commit suicide.
Gardner Is the son of a farmer
living three miles from the city. The
woman he tried to kill was Mrs.
Allen Ball. who came here less than
a week ago'fr from Pelzer, S. c., and
previous to that resided at Spar
taEburg, 8. c. The woman was
lot through one hand and the lobe
Jf one ear and though removed to
hospital. is only slightly hurt.
Gardner fired two shots into his
left breast and died almost instant
ly. He left note stating that he
had rather die than live without the
woman, adding that she had gone
back on him. Gardner's friends
suppose he met the woman In South
Carolina, where he had been work.

Ira Wallace's Fine \CrOps.

Your correspondent, in company
with friend had the pleasure af-
forded him a few days ago of a
drive through the country. About
dinner time we met with our genial
friend, Ira Wallace. who as he al
ways Is, had on a broad smile, and
being invited called to examine his
fine crops. Mir. Wallace has from
small beginnings and honest method
secured a nice farm from which he
gains a livelihood and each year
lays by in store a good margin Of
profit. We found cotton planted
from well selected varities of seed,
cultivated in the most approved
style on lands that yield under ia
vorable conditions two bales per
acre, and corn looking as luxuriant
as the farm regions OF the Nile
valley.
We think any one would do well
to talk with our friend and get
from him his plans and study them
closely with a view of improving con
ditions on the farm. We could in
many instances increase our yield
annually by the systematic and in
tensiye methods employed and in
this way be able to live under our
own vine and pfig-tree. II. b.

The state democratic

The state democratic executive
committee of North Carolina has
settled the muddle in the sixth con-
gressfonal district by ordering 4
primary to be held before the gem
eral election. 1t will be recalled
that the Goodwin forces boited the
convention at Wrightsville Beach
and nominated Goodwin for Congress
while the Clark forces kept the cor
vention together and nominated
Clark. The question arose as to
which was the regular nominee, the
state democratic executive committee
was appealed to and a primary vas
ordered to settle the question. This
leaves the field open to any cam
didate who aspires to represent the
sixth in congress and no doubt there
will be a lively scramble for the
nomination. North Carolina can
silly avoid such unpleasant differ
ices by adopting the primary sys-

MRS. FORD may GO FREE
PROSECUTOR REFUSES TO SUB.
NIT GRAND JURY EVIDENCE.
Says II Might Bring Into Case tho
Names Of "Innocent
Persons"

Cincinnati, Feb. 2.-Mrs. Jeanette
Stewart-Ford may be freed from the
charge of levying blackmail upon
Charles L. Warmer, defaulting local
treasurer Of the Big Four railroad
This unexpected turn in the woman's
trial came when her attorney demand.
ed the dismissal of the case on the
grounds that the prosecuting attor.
ney refused to submit to the court
transcript Of the evidence given before
the grand jury which indicted his
client.
While decision is reserved, the
Judge declared his belief that the point
of the defense was well taken.
Prosecutor Hunt declared that what.
ever might be the result, he would re.
fuse to give up the documents in ques.
ton, as they might bring the names
of innocent persons into the case.
This move by Mrs. Ford's attorneys
created a profound sensation follow
ing as it did upon the declaration of
the womans lawyers that Warmer
was not the only guilty person in the
$643,000 defalcation," and that before
Mrs. Ford's trial was concluded they
would compel the revelation of his
alleged accomplices."
Warmer, attired in his prison garb.
resumed the witness stand at the con-
tinuance of the trial. Under cross-ex-
animation he preserved his demeanor
of calm Indifference and again related
the story of his relations with Mrs.
Ford.
