A Mammoth Turnip.

Our big hearted Bull Moose
friend L. H. Wooihsm, last
Saturday, brought US the great
grand daddy of all turnips, we
verify believe. Ii was vegetable
whale, weighing eight pounds.
Mr.. Arnold, one of our leading
lawy yers, said it was nothing but
one OF our Jones county nubbin
turnips. We replied that if they
grew much bigger ones, they
would have to use dynamite or a
stump puller TO blast or prize
them up. This is a wonderful
country. for whatever is planted
here grows to enormous propor-
tons. Mr.. Woodhsm says he
has been feeding his cattle for
some time on turnips like the one
he brought us. There is a ready
market for Ruta Baga turnips,
and which sell lor so cents per
oushel. They are imported
South from Kentuckey, Tennes-
see and other Middle Western
States. Why cannot Jones coun-
tv corner the turnip market Of
the South? There are 30 many
other crops more profitable than
cotton our farmers can grow, if
they will only do some thinking
They ought to meet and organize
for the purpose of looking into
the trucking business, and APP

CHILD HURT BY TOMB
STONE.

Last Saturday afternoon pe-
euliar and unsual ACCIDENT hap
pened in the old cemetery of Ell
lisville. A lady OF our town went
there To look after the grave of a
relative, and with her was Carey
Lowe, the little daughter of Rev.
Mr. Lowe, our Baptist minister
While the lady and her children
were looking after their sad mis-
sion, Carey ran back and forth
over the cemetery, No one sup
posed there WAS any possible
chance for her to get hurt. After
awhile, one OF the little girls with
her mother heard Cary yelling
and went to the spot from whence
the sound came, bat il was some
time before she was located. IL
seems that in her rambles, at
tracted by childish curio atty
Cary mounted a monument over
the grave of Mr.. carter to read
The inscription. The shaft was
something higher than the
chid's head, and being not secu
rely set, she managed somehow
TO unloosen it and the slab fell
upon her In It's fall a vase near
the grave was crushed and part
of it wounded Carey in the side,
besides being bruised by the
falling slab. She was rescued
and carried home and medical
attendance summoned. Her in
iuries are not fatal, but she was
badly bruised and can only lay
on one side.
Last summer the editor of this
paper visited Carver creek church
in Bladen county. N. c., and in
rambling around the historic old
cemetery of that aged eIifice, we
noticed large slab lying flat up
on the grave. An inquiry elicit
ed the fact that it had fallen and
several years before and crushed
to death little boy. This acci-
dent was almost indentical with
that to Carey Lowe, only in the
latter case it was fatal. We were
told that the large stone crushed
the child frightfully, and death
was instantaneous.

TRACE CLEW TO AK MURDER
Iowa Man viii Confront Henry Lee
Moore, Suspected Convict, at
Missouri Penitentiary.

Villisca, Iowa.-That Henry Lee
Moore, the Missouri convict, who
is now said to be the notorious az
murderer, may be the man who killed
eight people in Villisca last summer,
is believed in Villisca so strongly that
an officer will at once be dispatched
10 Missouri TO see Moore. With him
will go Joseph Stillinger, father OF
two OF the murdered children. 1t is
thought possible that Moore was en-
ployed by Stillinger for week a
short time before the murders, and
that at the time went under the name
OF Hellum. Villasco officers believe
Moores study of crime induced him
TO assume another name and that his
own initials. pronounced rapidly, ac-
counts for the name Hellum. The vii
lisco officers will go to Missouri ear
ly next week.

Cettinje.-King Nicholas person
ally went before the Skupshtina,
the national parliament, and de-
Tended his action in giving way TO
the powers on the question of evacu-
ating Scutari. He declared that an
Inhalation inevitably wonld have fol-
lowed If Montenegro had not yielded.
He added that Russia had promised
to protect Montenegro's interests in
the ambassadorial conference in Lon
don and elsewhere. The statement
was well taken and Nicholas was
cheered.
Later the appointment of Gen. Jan
ko Nukotitich to be premier and min
lister of war was announced. He led
a wing of the arnS in the investment
of Scutari.
Nearly all the Montenegrin troops
have now left Scptari, the evacuation
having begun. The formal surrender
will not take place until Sunday. An
Austrian steamer will convey the
commanders of the foreign warships
blockading the Montenegrin coast to
Scutari. where the formal ceremonies
will occur

TAFT RULE IS RESCINOEO
CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
ARE ORDERED.
Appointees Of Fourth Glass Postof-
fees Must Pass Test, Postmas-
ter General Announces.

Washington, ID. C.--Postmaster
General Burleson announced issuance
by President Wilson of an executive
order in effect resembling President
Taft's action putting fourth-class
postmasters in the civil service and
requiring henceforth that all post
masters of this class must pass COM
petitive examinations. Burleson also
made public two postal regulations
covering the plan.
The presidents executive order
specifies that all postmasters in the
fourth class receiving more than $3.50
annually must hereafter pass exam
nations under civilservice rules.
This means that the Republican post
masters of the fourth class must pass
such a test to keep their jobs, and,
moreover, must pass higher than 9th
er applicants.
Burleson's regulations propose that
applicants must meet qualifications
for fitness laid down. by postal in
spectors who. according to the new
rules. are TO visit cities where there
is vacancy. The inspectors report
is TO be transmitted to the civil ser
vice commission for its information.
Discussing this new plan, Burleson
said:
Il feel that President Taft's order
did not go far enough in that il failed
to apply a merit system to the entire
service ii was aimed to cover. 1t had
the effect of placing within the class'-
fed service large number of post
masters who had not been required 10
demonstrate their fitness for such ap-
pointments."
