NEGRO DEAD IN YARD.
Mr.. David Settle Claims That Negro
Killed Himself.

Greensboro, n. c., Sept. 16.-Da-
vid Settle was brought to the city
this morning at 2 o'clock by Sheriff
Jones and deputy, who had arrested
Settle last night at his home, twelve
miles north of the city. To-day Settle
has been in custody of an officer and
will be held pending the complete in
vestigation of the killing of Robert
Allen, negro, who was shot down
at Settles door about $50 o'clock
last night.
Settle is the youngest son of the
late Judge Thomas Settle. He is mar
ried. For a number of years he has
lived on a farm north of the city
Last night about IL o'clock Settle
went to the home of a neighbor and
telephoned to Sheriff Jones that he
had killed a negro, partly uninten-
tionally, but mostly Intentionally"
Sheriff Jones and deputy set out at
once for the defendants home. They
found the body of the negro Allen 1y-
ing stretched out in the front yard
near Settles door. Settle was taken
in charge by the officers and the body
of the negro left where it was found
for the coroner's inquest, which was
| held to-day.
Coroner Wood, accompanied by
other officers and citizens, to-day
went out to the scene of the killing
| and held an inquest over Allen body.
Several witnesses were examined.
The testimony was to the effect that
the negro and Settle had been to-
gether yesterday and went over to
Hillsdale store together. They were
then in a good humor, but were
drinking. Shortly after the return
from the store a gunshot was heard.
Settle then went and 'phoned to the
sheriff. No one was an eyewitness
to the killing.
! Mr.. Settle Gives Bail.
A preliminary hearing was held be-
fore Squire Collins in Greensboro
Monday afternoon. Mr. Settle waived
examination and was released under

GIVE THE VEGETABLES ROOM
Probably More Garden Truck Ruined
For Want Of Being Trimmed Than
by Any Other Cause.

Do not be afraid to thin out your
plants-they must not be crowded.
Probably more garden stuff has been
ruined for want of being thinned at
the proper time than by any other
cause.
However that may be, one Of the
most puzzling things for the beginner
is to find out whether any particular
vegetable should be thinned or trans.
planted and how far apart the plants
should stand afterward.
He will get some help from the
catalogues as to the distances, but
whether he should transplant or thin
Is the kind of thing that is not In the
book.
1t requires a great deal Of nerve to
pull up and destroy the unnecessary
seedling-more nerve than the anna
teur possesses. They say that a per-
son never becomes a good gardener
until he steels his nerve to this ruth
less sacrifice.
A vegetable must have plenty of
room to develop it's best size and
flavor and one can take no pride in
small or commonplace vegetables.
True 1t is that "the worst weed in
corn is corn"

SWARM CATCHER is SIMPLE

At the recent meeting Of the Mary

paratus for securing swarms. AS will
be seen from the illustration, it con-
sists Of a wooden box with holes in

open. says the Orange Judd Farmer.
Any convenient size will answer.
The box shown by DR.. Gates was
about 16 inches long, IL high and 8
wide. The holes were about an inch
In diameter. At the top were two
Sits in which small pieces of comb
filled with unsealed brood could be
let down into the box and fastened
80 that they would not jar out. They
are placed parallel with the long side
of the box, so as to leave no obstruc-
ton when the bees are to be Jared
out.
In the center of the bottom and
the top of the box larger holes are
bored for pole to pass through.

time the number OF his chickens was
steadily decreasing. On two or three
occasions his attention was called to
whoops and yells that sounded very
human from the Ghost House, but he
was busy with his law books and did
not Investigate.
1t was Miss Cally who solved the
problem. That is, when she was out
one morning galloping over the wet
grass to get her share of the dew
cure, she saw five strapping big
tramps leave the Ghost House in
single file to scatter over the country
and tell the sad story of losing their
all in the great Chicago fire. Their
appearance started train of thought
that was to solidify two weeks later,
when her chum, Molly Parsons, came
up for months stay.
"A haunted house? You don't mean
it," replied the visitor.
Honest Injun!"
And there are ghosts"
mo. There are tramps sleeping
there nights, which is better for us.
We are to be the ghosts. Molly Par
sons, you get ready for the time of
your life. We are going to scare a
dozen Weary Willies most to DEATH"
"But your father and mother?"
They are not up to date, DEAR In
the afternoon We raise ladder to my
window to trim the ivy. 1t is left
there. At night we descend and the
ghosts walk. We have pillow.cases
drawn over our heads, and sheets
draped around our bodies, and we
glide t.; and fro and say hist! and
's'deathl' Lands, but won't it be fun"
Three or four nights later the af-
fair came off, but not exactly accord.
ing to program. Miss Cally had got
the id.:a that at least five tramps
found lodgings in the Ghost House
every night, whereas there were
nights when none sought the place at
all. No tramp can ever tell just where
he will be when night falls. Important
business or the police may detain him.
The idea of the girls was to invade
tho house in advance of all callers,
and they were successful in this. BY
the help of candle they found their
way In and to room upstairs, and
then sat down on the floor to tremble
and shiver and wish they were out of
it. 1t suddenly began to rain, and
that didn't add to the cheer Of the
.!;uation.

Automatic DRINKING Fountain.

A Santa Ana, CAL, inventor has de-
vised new automatic drinking foun-
tain, which has been installed in diff
ferent sections Of Los Angeles and is
meeting with success. BY simply in
sorting a one-cent piece in one of the
slots of the fountain and pressing
down lever, one will receive a glass
of ice-cold filtered water automatical-
ly filled just to the brim. If the pros
pective imbiber has no cent piece, he
can insert a nickel in another slot and
receive four cents change. Ice is placed
in a space beneath the fountain on
several iron coils which run up into
the machine. The water flows through
these tubes and becomes cooled. The
machine will not accept substitutes for
money, but Immediately returns slugs
and smooth coins.

Playing the Ghost
