AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.
Aged Negro is Killed by III. II. Van
Dcvcnter's Car.

From The Daily Item, Dec. %.
Ned Edwards. an aged and decrepit
negro, was fatally injured Tuesday
afternoon on North Main Street in
front Of knight Bros. Book Store, the
verdict of the coroner's jury today
being in effect that Edwards had
come to his death by being struck
and run over by II. r. Van Deventer's
car, which was going at a slow rate
Of speed and that the killing was
purely accidental
The evidence at the inquest this
morning was in effect that the negro
had started to cross the street. when
he was struck by the car or fell un-
der 1t. Some one called to Mr.. Van
Deventer, who stopped at once and
backed off the body. which was lying
under the body Of the car. One ne
gro testified to having seen the CO i
hit the negro, while no one else saw
the accident.
Mr.. Van Deventer stated that he
had not seen the man and did not
feel any shock. If the car struck the
man. He stopped when some one
called to him and found the man un-
der the car. There were no signs
on the car that it had struck the man
and it is possible that he might have
fallen, as he went to cross the street
in front Of the car. The wheel did
not pass over the body, which was
stretched with it's feet to the south
under the body Of the car. All wit
nesses testified to the fact that Mr..
Van Deventer's car was going at q
slow rate of speed ard that there
was much traffic, with vehicles lined
up along the sidewalk.
Immediately after the accident,
Mr.. Van Deventer picked up the old
man and carried him to the hospital,
where he urged that everything pos
sible be done for him, but in spite of
this trealr'cnt the old man died early
this morning. He also made efforts
to communicate with members of
the mans family and offered to pay
all expenses. He expressed his deep
regret at the accident today, saying
that it was the first thing of the kind
which had ever occurred to him.

(From q Letter by George Stone-Al-
cock in the Living Church)

(From q Letter by George Stone-Al-
cock in the Living church,
I was in Bad Wildungen. Waldeck,
practically a prisoner for four weeks,
and saw only German newspapers. At
first. when England declared war on
Germany. In consequence of her inva-
sion Of Belgian territory. the papers
said: "It was we'll known before
hand that this step would bring up
on US the enmity Of England. which
we regretted; but 1t was a military
But this explanation did
not meet with the approval Of the
people. Very generally. the aristoc-
racy. the middle classes. and the peas
antry thought and said that tho vio-
lation Of Belgian nuetrality was q
great mistake. 1t was most neces-
sary for the government to have the
people at one with them in this tre-
mendous conflict SO about ten days
after the fall Of iege. the papers
said: "Now there is no longer reason
for secrecy, and we announce that
there were French and English off,
GERS in the Belgian forts, preparing
for an attack upon Germany. We
have known this to be the case for
u long time. but before war broke out
we could not object to 1t. but after
wards we had to consider 1t flag
rant violation Of neutrality"
Now all the civilized world. ex-
cepting the German people. knows
this to be utterly untrue; but the
Germans believe 1t. AMI the effect OF
this belief was to unite them with
the policy Of the government. to the
last man, woma~ and child; and now
they are firmly convinced that there
was n plot to fight against their coun-
try. that she Is only defending her
self i'm this war. and that England
was chiefly to blame for it, And theil
hatred towards the English has be
come malignant. vcnomOus. and,
may say. almost diabOlical.

BILL FETZER TO COACH.
Red and Black Gets Well Known
Player to Teach Baseball Team.

Player to Teach Baseball Team.
Davidson, Dec. 22.-The announce.
ment by the college authorities Of the
agreement of Willi.'m Mckenzie "Bilr
Fetzer to coach !pavidson's athletics
for the coming year was greeted with
great enthusiasm by the entire stu.
dent body. Fetzer Is a man well
known In Virginia and Carolina ath.
letic circles and Davidson Is to be
congratulated on securing his services.
He takes the place of his brother,
Bob Fetzer who led Davidson through
one Of the most successful football
seasons on record. The team tasted
defeat only once during the entire
season and Tailed a total of 257
points to their opponents 80. David
son has wide awake alumni athletic
association and 1t Is responsiL!o for
a large part of the success of the past
season.
Bill Fetser II q graduate Of David
son. class Of 1906. While there he
played on both the varsity baseball
and football teams years and was
picked for the all South Atlantic half
back In the latter sport.
Since leaving college he has been
connected with practically all of the
teams Of the Virginia league in the
capacity of either player or manager.
He was also for a time with Charlotte
later with Anderson in the Carolina
Association. He finished the season
with Connie Mack. He holds the rec
ord for the longest hit ball in the
Virginia league.
Retiring from professional baseball
he took up coaching at Fishburne Mil
itary academy, having an interest in
that school. For the past two seasons
Bill has been conducting Camp Sap
phire in 1tsseern North Carolina near
Brevard yGnd directing the athletics
Of that camp.
Fetzer's strong point In the coach
ing line Is the developing Of young
pitchers. Several notable instances
Of his efficiency in this line are Moran,
the Washington and Lee star south
paw. who Is now connected with the
Buffalo Feds. watt" Efnd, anoth-
er Washington and Lee star now
pitching for Roanoke In the Virginia
league and many other college pitch
ers Of less note.
The prospects for O. winning team
In baseball next spring are exceeding
ly bright. Eight Of their last years
team returned, viz: Crayton, Somer-
VILE. Christenburg. Watkins. Slough.
Brown. Walker, and Kluttz. The only
weak point seems to be q scarcity Of
pitcher. They report an abundance
Of fresh material and with the new
arrivals after the holidays and Fetzer's
efficient coaching 1t Is expected that
the old "Red and Black" team will
make as good a showing on the dir-
mond as they did this fall ON the
gridiron.

$1,000 Worth of Livestock and Meat
Next Year-YOu Can Make Start
the Same Way.

] have been reading everything ]
could find bearing on the position we
farmers have found ourselves placed
In, trying to find if there was any.
thing that would lead us out of the
woods, SO to speak.
First. the government was going to
lend us money on our cotton. Later
1T was our State; the State was going
to buy the cotton at nine cents per
pound. And now last and least I must
say. is the $135, 900, 900 syndicate. So
going all over this it brings YOU back
to where we began, and to the same
conclusion I came to several years
ago. That conclusion is: More and
better livestock IL the only solution
Of the problem.
But when we come to this conclu-
sion, We are still up against it. Where
are the funds coming from to buy
with? Well. hoping my experience
will be Some incentive to others, not
to go and do likewise, but to 60 and
do better. will give it as follows:
A few years ago, owing to a very
wet year. I found myself in the hole,
having made a very short crop Of cot
ton, but fine yield Of corn. Seeing
an agricultural journal Offering $40
for the best article on corn growing,
l submitted an article and won the
$40. Now, what should I do with the
$40? had 40 holes to drop it in and
IT would not fill any. so I decided to
buy me registered gilt and see what
I could make out of same. bought a.
Duroc-Jersey, and later bought me a
sire of the same breed, and began
raising and adding to from time to
time as I would sell and could afford
II until I have eight sows Of this
bi ced and two sires Of the best blood
lines.
Lately have added to my herd sew
eral Berkshires. as occasionally
found some customers partial to
this breed. Have. also bought me
some Red Poll cows and a bull, and
traded for some mares. and am rails
ing colts for sale each year.
I have sold $500 worth of breeding
stock. pork, and products in the last
IL months fcom my hogs, and hope to
increase this to $1,000 in 1915, as
only intend planting 35 acres Of
cotton in 1915 instead Of IS as in
1914. Hence I shall have more time
to attend to my livestock in the way
OF growing the proper crors for them,
and I find to be a successful ~ estock
farmer, one has to know what t.
grow, when to grow, and wha forms
a balanced ration for young growing
stock.
I fenced cff a half dozen or more
small fields and have them planted at
present as follows: Abruzzi rye and
rape. oats, vetch, rape and clover;
one planted early in September, rape,
vetch. rye, crimson and bur clover;
oats in another to hog off when ripe;
Later will plant other crops, so as to
raise them without going in the barn
for much Of their feed bill.
This is on a rented place. and here
tofore have been forced to put in a
larger acreage in cotton to meet the
heavy cash rental, but have rented
on different basis for 1915, viz: So
many bushels Of the different kinds
OF grain. This is the olan most land
owners are following here now, and it
Is much better than the former.

A Tribute to the Old Year, 1913.

Old year, the parting time has come
The time when we must say:
Good bye to you and shake your hand
And speed you on your way.
Wed like to see your stay prolonged,
But all too we'll we know,
Your time is up, your limits reached
And therefore, you must go.
n You've been very friendly year,
Considering all things;
You've journeyed with us hand in
- hand,
In all our wanderings.
Through days of storm and days of
calm.
You've always with us gone;
And oft at night you've with us
watched
For the coming of the dawn.
With you we've seen winter go,
And heard the robin sing;
: With you we've fondly gazed upon
The beauties of the Spring.
With you we've seen the summer
With all its wealth of bloom;
And with you we have wandered
through
The gardens of perfume.
With you we saw the autumn tinge
The leaves in colors bright;
And you were with us when the frost
Spread wide it's deadly blight;
And when the winter came again
1t found you still our friend,
Though weary, faint and tottering,
And waiting for the end.
Twelve months ago we welcomed
you
When you were young and fair;
But now, your once straight form i.
bowed,
And whitened is your hair.
The time has come for you to go,
And we can only sigh
And shake your hand and sadly say
Goodbye, old year, goodbye"

laws Of fifteen States in preparing
his bill, but had also tried to put in
provisions calculated to meet condi-
tions peculiar to this State. From the
standpoint of the voter, he said, there
was no red tape in his law. All the
voter would have to do would be to
sign his name in registering, or make
mis- mark and have it witnessed, re-
ceive certificate, endorse the certi-
ficate at the poll and mark his ballot.
The use of the Australian ballot, he
said, would no doubt be effective in
doing away with open bribery, since
under the secret voting system the
,riber could not know whether the
man he bribed delivered the goods"
Wants Honest Primary First.
He urged all interested in securing
an honest primary law to speak to
their legislative representatives
about it, and to write to friends in
other counties and ask them to urge
their representatives to vote for a
IL containing the Australian ballot
and other features designed to pre-
vent election frauds.
He said he was not biased in favor
of his bill and that he would vote for
another if another were introduced
rat he believed better than his own.
However, when elected to the Legis-
lature he had promised the electorate
to devote his efforts to securing an
honest primary law and he would
carry out his promise jim one way or
another.
The speaker consumed about half
an hour, but the discussion which fol-
lowed lasted almost twice as long.
The discussion was spirited and inter
esting and has seldoma been livelier
at any Forum meeting. Some of the
audience pointed out objections they
saw to the proposed bill and the
speaker attempted to answer these
objections. In addition there were
some who asked questions concerning
features of the bill which Mr.. Ritten-
berg had not read
