crop is unusually promising and no set back is anticipated now. Weather con ditiens have been good for the berry and the promise of an exceptionally fine yield is very bright.
 ''The acreage in strawberries as well as sweet ard Irish potatoes is being steadily increased and the growers are becoming independent. Culman people are proud of the distinction that Cullman products are given in the markets of the country and are doing all in their power to main- tain their reputation for first-class goods.
 Potatoes from last years crops are still being put on the market, and are said to be bringing good prices. The co operative methods adopted by the Gull man growers enable them to control the crop and secure the best prices.

linger has its existence only in the
fertile brain of this hired assassin
employed by Collier In 1894 Mr..
Ballinger was elected Superior Court
Judge-elected, mark you-in a COM
munity where, as Collier alleges
nine men out of ten spoke i'll of
him." Judge Ballinger served four
years as judge of this court, then
moved to Seattle, Washington, where
the firm of Ballinger, Ronald & Bat
tie was organized, Judge Ballinger
becoming the senior member. In
1904 Judge Ballinger was elected
mayor of Seattle, Washington, and
he was the reform mayor, not his
successor, as Collier alleges. At the
end of his term, 1906, he resumed
the practice of law. March, 1907.
President Roosevelt appointed him
Commissioner of the General Land
Office, position from which he re-
signed after one years service.
We again quote Collier: The
schooner Alice was struck off and
bought up in the same way for 10000,
Chllberg and his friends securing for
10000 the ownership of a boat upon
which the bank had a mortgage of
100000, and against which were other
liabilities amounting to $I3,2o2. H."
In this statement Collier attempts TO
blind his readers and by inference and
mnuendOes makes it appear that for
10000 Judge Ballinger secured for
his friends a boat of such value that
a bank would lend $4,000 upon it
and other persons would also advance
.SI3,292.I7 upon the same The fact
Is, the purchasers assumed all out
standing mortgages and debts. total
ing $33,2o2.I7, plus 10000, the pur-
chase price, making $3o,2o2.I7 in all,
4 fair price for such a schooner as the
Alice proved to be at that time. But
this IS Golfers method of lying by
inference and innuendoes; of fooling
the casual reader.

The quick action of the Circuit
Court and the speedy work of Dr.
George K. Vanderslice, the coroner,
following the child's death are being
appreciated by the Negroes, as well
as the white people.
The crime is alleged to have been
committed on Back River road, near
the bridge, and not in the city limits
of Hampton, as has been said by
some. Vandyke is alleged to have
taken the children from their home

History of Elizabeth City County.
Z. A. Vandyke will tomorrow
morning be placed on trial in the
Circuit Court of Elizabeth City coun-
ty to answer an Indictment charging
him with criminally assaulting Re
becca Taylor Chandler 1t will be the

Verdict of Grand Jury.
After spending three hours investi-
eating the case yesterday afternoon,
a special grand jury returned an in
dictment against Vandyke, charging
him with rape. The indictment sets
forth that the accused criminally as
saulted the girl, but does not hold him
responsible for the child's death.
The jury was composed of Hunter
K. Booker. foreman, w. w. Richard
son, T. A. Cooke, R. l. Mason,
George w Rowe, Thomas ]. Has
kins and Charles D. Parker. The
jury heard the physicians who attend
ed the dead girl and the mother of
Vandyk's alleged victim. There are
ether witnesses to testify before the
petit jury when the man goes on trial
for his life tomorrow morning.
The fact that the indictment was
so hurriedly returned by the grand
jury caused Judge Robinson to decide
upon trying the charge against Van
dyke tomorrow. The trial is set to
begin at 10 o'clock and a special
Jury from the Back River or Harris
Creek section will be summoned to-
day, from which the twelve men to
determine the guilt or innocence of
Vandyke will be drawn.
Little Known of His History
Vandyke is said to have several
brothers living in Atlanta, Ga, but
very little is known here of the his
tory of the man accused of the re-
voting crime. Those who know him
say that Vandyke has always been
square and fair in his dealings with
them and they are at loss to un-
derstand just what prompted him in
a crime of such serious
in the event that he really
did so.
