Mr.. Stevenson opened and Mr..
Finley closed and Mr.. Stevenson
exercised the right, assumed by
Mr.. Finley at Chesterfield, of re-
plying. When he did so Mr..
Finley replied to him and as he
turned to sit down he said to
Mr.. Stevenson, You can't throw
off on me-" Mr.. Stevenson said,
How" He had not made any
personal remarks to Mr.. Finley
and only replied to what he said
appeared to be an insinuation
made by Mr.. Finley and had cor
rected Mr.. Finley in reply to
questions addressed to him by
Mr.. Finley. When Finley re-
piled, Il will just hurt you,"
Mr.. Stevenson said, Hurt me,
old man, hurt me""
The chairman had announced
the meeting adjourned and as
Mr.. Stevenson turned to pick up
his papers Mr.. Finley hit him
behind the right ear. After Mr..
Stevenson recovered from the
lick he approached Mr.. Finley
and appeared about to engage in
the difficulty, but he was pulled
off the stand by T. w. Belk.
who stated to him that he want
ed to prevent any difficulty.
The incident was entirely un-
expected and without any appar-
ent cause as the debate was be-
ing conducted along parlimen-
tary lines and the apparent heat
of Mr.. Finley was not understood
by Mr.. Stevenson apparently or
by the audience.

If a town does not reach after
the trade, it will come only as
fast as it has to, and it will
grow as it is forced to. But if
the merchants go after business
in the surrounding country, ad-
vertising in every possible way,
and making good every word of
their advertising. trade will come
from an ever-increasing radius.
the town will gain a reputation
for being awake and it will forge
to the front.

1t is mighty mean to patroniZe
a merchant who will trust you
until you get so far in debt to
him that you are ashamed to see
him, and then go and spend your
cash somewhere else where you
could not get credit: but there
are people who do it.

BABE SLAIN,
 IS BELIEF OF
 DIR. GARLICK Doubt That Dead Child Was Murdered Dispelled By
 Report sTRANGLED BY CLOTH, IS REPORT TO POLICE Detectives Have Clues Which Are Expected to
 Provide Sensation

Intentional strangling caused the death of the newly-born male child discovered Sunday morning near Rruce's brook at Barnum and Bishop avenues This is the belief of pr. Gar lick, medical examiner, in his report filed today with Coroner PheIan and in information furnished by him to Po- lice Superintendent Birmingham.
 That the information given the lat ter has been made the basis of even greater police activity was admitted by Superintendent Birmingham today He said that every effort is being made to bring the guilty persons to Garlick's report to him left no doubt in his mind but that the child was alive until choked to death by the knotted piece of cloth about it's neck.
 It is intimated by detectives at work upon the case that clues of great inn portance are being traced. The na- ture of the clues are not disclosed. Su- perintendent Birmingham frankly ad- mits that every effort is being used and that the case is far from drop ped.
 Examination of the chi1d,s body showed that it was a normal birth and that the child was alive preceding the placing of the cloth about it's neck and the tying of the granny knot'' in such a manner that it would have caused death through asphyxiation in itself. It is admitted that the child was un- doubtedly dead when abandoned.
 There is little acceptance of the be- lief that it was born in the vicinity where it was found as evidence poinE to the fact that it was taken there in an automobile.
 The knotted cloth was applied delfb- erately and for one purpose, accord ing to Dr.. Garlick. As to the exact time of death, there is some question but the autopsy indicates that it was near the time of birth. The part of the bed sheet found about the body bears the advertising mark of the How land Dry Goods Company.
