THIEF STEALS
COTTON SEED
THIRTY BUSHELS OF MEBANE AB-
STRACTED FROM SEED HOUSE
AT LONE GROVE.

o. X. Darden was in the city yes
terday and was lamenting the fact
that some thief broke open his seed
house and took about thirty bushels
of Mebane cotton seed that he intend
ed planting on his own farm. Mr.. Oar
den stated that the thief showed a
little consideration for his condition
inasmuch as he, she, or they only took
about half what he had in stock. He
further stated that it was going to
compel him to reduce his acreage
about one-half this season, very much
against his will, as he anticipated a
short crop nationally next season,
with good prices and besides he dear
ly loves to grab a hoe and chop cot
ton under the blazing sun. When ask
ed what he was goingto do about catch
ing the culprit, he stated that he was
going to do nothing that any man
who was sufficiently hard up to steal
cotton seed to plant could have the
rest of his, if he could get it while
his back was turned.
Mr.. Darden is considered the pecan
king of this state, and within a very
few years is going to have an income
from the sale of nuts that will make
an oil magnate look like a piker in
comparison.

The allied troops, whose gaps had

German position when It was struck
by the sweeping fire were found dead

On the eastern wing the Germans
