Shot While Picking Muscadines.

Albemarle, n. c., Sept. 1O.-One
OF the most shocking accidents which
Stanly county has experienced in a
long time was that which happened
late yesterday five miles east of AL
Demarle, when Mr.. Morton acciden-
tally shot and possibly fatally wound
ed Gordon Hudson, both men being
respected white men. Mr.. Morton
was out with his gun trying to kill a
hawk which had been giving his
chickens trouble. Mr.. Hudson was
high up in tree picking musca-
dires. Mr.. Norton, being some dist
ance away, thought the hawk lit in
the tree in which Mr.. Hudson was
picking muscadines, and slipping
nearer and nearer he discovered
something moving the leaves, and,
thinking that he knew the spot where
the hawk was, fired.
Instead OF bringing down the trou-
blesome hawk, as Mr.. Morton expect
ed, to his horror Mr.. Hudson fell
from the tree, the entire load hav-
ing penetrated his left side about the
floating ribs. The injury from the
fall and the wound from the shot will
possibly prove fatal to Mr.. Hudson,
though he is still alive this evening.

GERMANS PROTEST TO WILSON.
Charge Allies Use Dum-Dum Bullets.
PreteXt, Says France.

London, Sept. 1O.-The cores
pondent of the Daily Mail at Rotter-
dam has telegraphed the text of the
message sent by Emperor William to
President Wilson under date OF
September 4. 1t is as follows:
Il consider it my duty, sir, to in
form YOU as the most notable repre-
sentative of the principles of human
| ity-that after the capture Of the
French fort Of Longwy my troops
! found in that place thousands Of
! dum-dum bullets which had been
manufactured in special works by
! the French government. Such bul
lets were found not only on French
| killed and wounded soldiers and on
French prisoners, but also on Eng
lish troops. You know what terrible
wound and awful suffering are
caused by these bullets and that
their use is strictly forbidden by the
generally recognized rules Of inter
| national warfare.
solemnly protest to you against
! the way in which this war Is being
! waged by our opponents, whose me-
thodS are making it one Of the most
b2"barOus in history Besides the
use of awful weapons, the Belgian
government has openly melted the
civil population to participate in the
tightinG and has for long time care
| fully organized their resistance. The
cruclties practiced in this guerilla
warfare, even by women and priests
! toward wounded soldiers and doctors
and hospital nurses compelled us to
! adopt the strongest measures to pun-
| iSh the guilty and frighten the blood
thirsty population from continuing
! their shameful deeds.
Some villages, and even the old
| town OF Louvain, with the exception
! Of its beautiful town hall (Hotel De
Nille) had to be destroyed for the
protection Of my troops.
"My heart bleeds when | see such
measures inevitable and when I
think Of the many innocent people
who have lost their houses and prop
erty, as result Of the misdeeds of
the guilty. Signed:
"Wilhelm 7. r."

Bordeaux, Sept. 10.-The French
foreign office to-day issued a note
protesting strongly against the state
ments given to the American press
by the German government accusing
the allies of using dum-dum bullets.
1T is to be feared that those
charges, the note says, ARE but a
preteNt to justify the use of dunn

ITO the Farmers in the Piedmont

use commercial fertilizers we will
secure better results
'TO the Farmers Of other parts o.
