THE OUTLOOK FOR FRUIT
THE STATE HoRTIcrLruRIsT

Raleigh. April State Horticul-

following the recent cold waves and
heavy frosts. However. the danger
of further damage or total destruc-
tion will not be past until around

ed from Southern Pines that the
great commercial orchards there still
have from half TO three-quarters of
an ACREAGE crop in good condition.
The peach crop along the Carolina
coast seem to. be pretty well wiped
out and the damage mas also been
quite severe in portions OF Piedmont
Carolina. Apples and pears show up
very much less injury than peaches.
However. these we're badly damaged
In Piedmont Carolina. The trees on
the state test farm In lredell county
seem 70 be pretty we'll dennded OF
fruit bearing blossoms. However, in
the great apple bearing belt OF West
ern Carolina the damage thus far has
been quite small and will prove a
real help for the quality OF the re-
naming crop. Mr.. HUT says the
strawberry crop OF East Carolina
has been injured very little thus far.

WHERE FACTS
ARE CLINCHED

A few years ago when we firststar
started, We had to make claims that
were not as easily proven as our
claims are today, simply for he rea-
son that our friends we're limited,
Only an occasional man or wo-
man had USED Gowan's Prep
aration, and when we boosted
that II would do certain things
the scoffer and doubter had us
at disadvantage. The Man from
Missouri has always been in evidence.
"Show Me" has ever been the watch
word Of the suspecting. All we could
do in those other years was to send
sample and let the doubter prove to
himself the truth Of our claims.
That day has passed Our phenome-
nal success. the fact that we have
placed hundreds of thousands of bot
ties in as many homes relieves us of
even sending sample. The man
who never used 1t simply asks
friend about IL. and nine to one the
friend has heard OF it, has used 1t
and says 1T is wonderful Prepare
tion--we would not think of keeping
house without a bottle always ready
In cases of Group. OF colds, of coughs
il does. magical work and Pneumonia,
the King of Terrors, is absolutely
subdued and conquered by its USE"
That is what the friend would say.
That is why we have succeeded be-
yond our most sanguine dreams.
Gowan's Preparation is destined to
be Great World Remedy. There is
no doubt of it. II alYays makes
good. 1t is external. 1t can be
bought in any size package. It is
guaranteed-but beyond all and
above all-the Mothers of America
have given il their seal of approval
and that means that nothing short
of the worlds end can stop its
growth and popularity. All drug
gists. Ask your neighbor.

He CARRIED HIS
NERVE WITH HIM.
doomed Man Helps Adjust Moose
Around His Own Neck

Pottsyille, Pa. April IA re-
markable display OF nerve was made
in the county jailyard here Thursday
by Joseph Christock. who was hanged
for the murder last fall OF Mrs. Ann
Richards. Declining the proffered as
sistance OF a priest and deputy sheriff,
the man walked smilingly from his
cell to the foot OF the gallows and ran
lightly up the steps
II was a public hanging, and be-
fore Christock stood 1900 persons, to
whom he waved his hand. Then he
reached up. grasped the moose and
placed it around his neck, pnt his
arms by his side to be strapped and
smilingIy said. Goodbye ALL The
nervy man then held his head in po-
sition for the adjustment OF the black
cap. and in another moment the trap
was sprung. He was dead in twelve
minutes.
Before going TO the gallows Chris
took made complete confession. de-
claring he had shot the woman when
he was detected by her attempting to
mistreat her daughter, He told of
numerous highway robberies and
burglaries he had committed in the
neighborhood. and wound up his con-
fession By saying that he deserved to
be hanged for his crimes. He ioked
Of death to the very end.
When the carpenters started work
on his scaffold Thursday Christock
was asked whether the hammering
Jared on his nerves or interfered with
his religious devotions. On the. con-
trary. he laughingly said, he did not
mind 1t in the least, and urged the
underwater TO let him assist In the
work.
He said the novelty would be rest
ful to him and 1t would also give him
an opportunity TO see that the scat
fold would be made strong enough to
guarantee a successful execution. No
murderer In the annals OF .Schuyl-
kills criminal history has displayed
the cool. brazen nerve that christock
has. cheerfully acquiescing 10 all in
teryiews and showing a keen enjoy
ment in meeting newspaper men and
photographers.
