WATCH IS FOUND
ON DEAD negro
Stolen TimepiGCe Found in
GrCWSOme Manner

Macon, Ga, Nov. 21.-The police
unraveled one of the most complicat-
ed robberies this morning that has
been testing them this year Recently
they received report from Mr.. John
j. Mckay of the Atlantic Fire Insur-
ance Company, this his home, $50
Orange street, had been burglarized
and his wife's gold watch stolen The
case was worked on quietly all the
week without single clue. Last
night officer Morris gained a tip of in
formation concerning the missing
watch after the police patrol had re-
moved Barlow Goss. the negro stabbed
to death from the park to a negro
undertaking establishment.
Hoping to find the watch or certain
papers on the dead negro that would
be of material use in locating it, the
officer gained permission to make a
search of the negro's person The
first search made was sufficient. In
the watch pocket the officer detected
little gold watch answering the de-
scription of the one lost by Mrs Nc
Kay
Remembering in the description OF
the lost jewelry that an engraving
was in the back, he lifted the case
and found the following inscription,
annie from John" He then imme-
diately felt sure that the watch was
the property of Mrs. Mckay.
Further search of the dead negro 6
pockets revealed the fact that he hll
pawned several articles recently, bu
no other iewelry was found on hiill
The watch was brought to the. cit.
hall and delivered to Chief Chapman

PRETTY FARLEY GIRL
DAMAGES HER CHANGES

Columbus, o., Nov. 21.-Miss Cecilia
Farley, the state house stenographer
on trial for first degree murder for
the shooting of Alvin e. Zollinger,
damaged her chances today by ad-
hitting under cross examination that
she had been having intimate reIa-
tons with Jerome Quigley, to whom
she was engaged.
The story of the defense in the
trial has been that Miss Farley's love
for Quigley was a pure love, so pure
that she had confessed to having done
the shooting when first arrested in
order that Quigley might be released.
The defense had introduced testimony
to show how Miss Farley had been
wronged by zollinger, and of how
when she found true love with M.
Quigley she had successfully at
tempted to break off relations with
Zollinger.
Prosecutor Turner closely question
ed Miss Farley concerning her al
legged" confession to woman detec-
tive in the county Jail and concerning
her admission of the confession Of
the shooting made to police officials.
The witness admitted that most
OF both the confessions were true,
but denied that she had shot collin
ger. Miss Farley admitted she had
made false statements to the police
to get Quigley out of trouble.

WHY NOT SELL
FARM PRODUCTS
TO CONSUMER
MEANS MONEY FOR FARMERS
Sumter County Farmers May
Follow This Example
&c. L. Hardison, in Progressive Far

&C. L. Hardison, in Progressive Far
mer)
I have been farming all my life,
and am now SO years old, and l
have just awakened to the necessity
of selling my produce, and of buying
household and farm supplies more
economically.
During all these years l have been
shipping my surplus produce to COM
mission men in the cities, or taking
it in to the nearby market and
dumping it off on the retail men, at
any kind of an old price. In the ear
ly spring l began to take in sweet
potatoes, housed over from last year,
also cabbage, and was selling pota-
toes for so cents per bushel, which
| considered fair price, and small
cabbage at 81 to $3.50 per 100
heads. While l would be unloading,
| noticed the middle-man or huckster
would be selling potatoes for Csc to
80 cents per peck, and the very same
cabbage | was unloading at 5 cents
for choice, or two smaller ones for
five cents, or three medium ones for
ten cents.
1t occurred to me that if customers
would come to the stall and buy at
these prices, that | might take my pro-
duce to the customers doors and get
the same price. l made trial of the
next load took in, and was so sue
cessful that l have not unloaded on
the middleman since. By spending
from two to four hours more in driv-
ing through the city / find | increase
the amount of cash taken in from
each load from S. to So.
| find this plan has another bright
side to it. | can market off perisha-
bic fruits and vegetables that the
mlddleman could not handle because
he would be overstocked. For in
stance, just this fall, there has been
an extro crop of Keifer pears in lis
section. | had no trouble in selling
mine to the consumer for 20 cents
per peck. At the same time / would
see farmers hauling them in to the
middleman for so cents per bushel
and would say they were glad to get
that price, as it was too much trou-
BILE to peddle them around town. 9th
ers would let theirs rot on the
ground or feed them to hogs, as they
could find no sale for them. Had
not caught the idea of being a re.
taller, l would have done like my
neighbors.
/ know / can realize from 25 10
LOO per cent. more for my produce by
this method than | have been doing
heretofore.

London, Nov. 21-Reliable eye wit
nesses of the fighting on the Turkish
left wing at Tchatalja report that IL
appears to have resulted in the Bull
garians retiring along the road FROM
Papaz Burgas toward the village OF
Tchatalja, according to the CORE
spondent of the Daily News. One re.
port says they fell back ten miles.
1t appears, according to this cor
respondent doubtful whether the en-
thusiastic descriptions by the Turkish
pres sof victories on the right wing
are reliable The Turkish losses here
have been admittedly heavy, but the
arrival of troops from Syria has fur
Their strengthened the Turkish de-
tense. 1t is also evident that the sup
ply and commissariat difficulties of
the Ottoman army have been some
what relieved.
The conclusion is drawn in Con
stantinople that it should be easy
to arrange terms, unless the Turkish
military authorities make the mistake
of supposing that a successful de-
Tense justifies defiance.
Wounded Turkish officers highly
complimented the energy shown by
Gen. Won Hochwaschten to whom some
of them attribute a part of the cred
it for the defenses on the Turkish right
wing.
1t is clear that the Bulgarians have
evacuated the positions facing the
Hamidieh forts, according to the
Times correspondent. The Turks fol-
lowed the retreating Bulgarians with
their artillery, which has a longer
range. The correspondent adds:
81 cannot understand the Bulga-
rians operations. Their withdrawal
possibly is a feint, but if so why did
they make such strenuous efforts u
entrench themselves ?"

COTTON MARKET in
AMERICUS YESTERDAY

Another sharp advance in the cot
ton futures market yesterday advance
ed spot values as WELL and good mid
dlings in the Americas market sold
around ~ IL cents, with IL IL to
II 5-8 offered for middlings. At the
close January and March were to-
gether for the first time at 1928
cents, though January at one time
scared seven points higher.
Disquieting war news later in the
day led to the fear that break in
values might follow this morning,
though this was but surmise.
While the Americas market quotes
good middlings at IL IL cents, an
large line OF fine cotton would bring
an even higher price, such is the de.
mand Of the mills for the best grades
of cotton. OF this, however, little is
to be had now, and tinges are about
the best offerings.
