Is 1t The Boil Weevil?

Mr.. J. e. Copeland, a prosperous
young farmer of the Hopewell sec
ton, brought to The Intelligencer
office yesterday what many believe
Is genuine boil weevil-and a live
one at that. 1t was shown to Mr..
frank Carey, a local cotton buyer,
who has seen boil weevils at work
In Texas and he was of the opinion
that while 1t was a species of boil
weevil that it was not the genuine
Doll weevil. There is on exhibition
at one of the local drug stores some
genuine boil weevils preserved in al
cohol and those who compared them
said that they believed that the
weevil captured by Mr.. Copeland
was the genuine cotton enemy. =

T. Lyon, Ed. Martin and James

arrested and placed in Jail Septem-

murderous assault on Mr.. ]. Gray

OF Mr.: Tolar, were given a prelimi-
nary nearing Saturday before JUS
tice j. A. Rowland and were re-
manded to jail, there being suffi-
clent evidence to hold them with
out bail. They will be tried in
the superior court this week.
The trial was held in the court
house and lasted from IL a. N. to
8 p. m, with an intermission for
dinner. Messrs. Mclean, Varser &
Mclean represented the State and
Messrs. Britt & Britt represented
James Suggs, who Is merely a boy
about 13 years old. Some 15 or
~ witnesses were examined. 1t was
In evidence that the defendants wer
at the house of Dock Floyd, colored,
about quarter of mile from the
home OF Mr.. Tolar, on the night
the assault was committed, drink
ing and left there in the direction
of Mr.. Tolar's house about half an
hour before the deed was commit
ted. Two other negroes were with
them, John Wesley and John Craw-
ford, neither of whom has been
caught. A short while after Mrs
Tolar was heard to scream on ac-
count OF the assault on her hus-
band. Mrs. Mary Turner, who al
so lives near Mcdonald, saw three

ed as Ed. Martin, pass her house.
Two witnesses testified that T. Ly-
on had told them since he has been
In jail that John Wesley was the
man that struck the blow. On the
stand later Lyon testified that the
reason he said that was a few
minutes before they reached Mr..
Tolar's house on the night of the
assault John Wesley was heard to
say that IL he got in a wreck that
night for the boys to hold their
hands - meaning to say nothing
about 1t. Pearl Suggs, colored, tes-
titled that his brother james and
t. Lyon and John Crawford stayed
at his home on the night of the as
sault, that James came in about Is
minutes before Lyon, that he saw
Lyon and James in bed; that the
next morning another boy was in
the bed and that Lyons shoes were
on the porch, indicating that after
going to bed Lyon had slipped
out and had come back with Craw-
ford, pulling his shoes off the sec
ond time on the porch.
These are the main points
brought out. The evidence was
purely circumstantial, as no one
saw the defendants at Mr.. Tolar's
house, but a pretty strong circum-
stantial case was made out against
them

TO SECURE PASTORS FREEDOM
Chief Counsel For Accused Pastor
Hopes to Prove Some Other Man
Guilty OF Crime.

hOpeS TO Pr0Ve some OIner MAN
Guilty OF Crime.
Boston, November 8. That
some other than his client gave
Avis Linnel the poison from which
she died was the assertion of ]. l..
Lee, of Lynchburg, Va, senior coun-
sci for the Rev. Clarence V. T.
Richardson, pastor of the I'M
manuel Baptist church, Cambridge,
grand jury charged with murder.
Before Mr.. Lee left Boston for his
home, he said:
Richardson is innocent. OF that
/ am convinced. My talks. with him
my own observation of the case and
my conference with counsel have
opened up way by which / shall
eventually free him.
Beyond saying that he hoped to
accumulate enough evidence to sat
isfy the jury Of the guilt of anoth-
er man, Mr.. Lee would not speak
of the plans of the defense.
The remarks of the attorney were
taken to mean that the defence
would not advance the suicide the
ory.
In Mr.. Richardson's letter of res
ignat;on presented to-day he said:
7 beg to herewith ter der my res
ignation as pastor of Immanuel
ckprch. Strong in consciousness OF
my innocense and firmly persuaded
that God in His own good time
will life this burden from me,
nevertheless feel that 1 should not
permit this shadow thrown across
my life to darken the religious well

my duty to place the church in a
position to select my successor.

many kindnesses shown by all OF

Caterpillers a Blessing.

There is no denying the fact that
the farmers of Cherokee are going
to gather a great deal more cotton
than they had reason to hope for
some time ago. Instead OF the cat
erpillers being a disaster they seem
to have been a blessing in dis
guise, as they ate away the green
leaves and permitted the green bolls
to mature before The frost came.
There isn't but one thing wrong
with cotton this year and that is
the price.-Gaffney Ledger.
