RICHMOND WOMAN WINS.
Gets Verdict of S6,444.97 Against Es-
tate of Rev. A. j. Barron.

BENNINGTON, Dec. 27.-The jury
in the case of Mrs. Mary Freeman of
Richmond VS.. the executives of the
estate of the late Rev. A. J. Barron,
former pastor of the St. Francis De
Sales church Of Bennington brought
in verdict for the claimant to re-
cover $6,64497, the face of a $4,000
note with interest. The commissioners
refused to allow the claim when present
ed and the ease was taken to county
court. Officials of the diocese are inter
ested in the case and have made every
effort to trace the money through the
accounts of Father Barron. Counsel for
the executives stated that the search
had revealed nothing to show that dis
position was made of such sum.
Shortly before he died, Father Barron
decided all of his remaining real es-
tate to the church and his estate
amounts to less than $4,000.

Granite Center of the World.

Barre Times.)
We would call to the attention Of
the Burlington News that it falls far
short of the fact when it merely claims
for Barre the right to be called 1.-The
greatest granite city in New Eng
land AS matter of fact, Barre
produces more granite than any other
single granite center in the North
American continent, and, without
doubt, in the world. In proof of the
claim that Barre produces the most
granite on the continent of North
America. it Is only necessary TO turn
to the membership books of the gran
tie cutters international union to find
that far more granite workers are EN-
ploved in Barre than in any other sin
gle granite center, which is positive
evidence that more granite is being
produced in Barre. We believe, too,
that Barre s claim is not disputed by
any other granite center within the ju-
| risdiction of the granite cutters inter
national union. Proof that Barre is
the greatest granite producer in the
world is somewhat more difficult be
| cause the statistics of scattered gran
| tie centers are not available, but Bar
re is credited with being at least the
largest producer of monumental gran
ite in the world, and we think the
claim is entirely reasonable! Indeed
we should be surprised TO learn that
there is a single granite center which
produces more granite for any pur-
pose. SO the esteemed contemporary
ought to give Barre the title of the
'.greatest granite center in North
| America at any rate.

 When the lumber had been placed in the field, MT. Dallas read the warrant to MT. Black and they returned to town for trial whereupon he was released from the charge by Esq. l.. 5. Winfree.
 The land in question is de- scribed as lot Mo- ? of the N. W. 4, Township 6, North, Range l West, 9th. Principal Meridian, containing 62. AZ acres.
 A letter, No. 464078 "C' R. s. c, from the Department of the Interior, General. Land.O Office, Washington, D. C., addressed to Mir. E. l.. Carter, Southern Trust Building, Little Rock, states, On examination of the tract book it appears this land is va cant public land, but for the latest information regarding this tract you should address the United States Land Office, at Little Rock" MT. Black told a reporter for THE HOME NEWS that upon investigation at the U. s. Land Office in Little Rock this land was also found there to be vacant. He made application for homestead on this land over five months ago and the government requires that a homesteader build a house and begin improvements on any land to be hornesteaded at least six months from date of application.
 Esq. l.. B. Winfree who once owned this land stated that the land was originally granted by. the governmentt to the Memphis & Little Rock Ky. Co. Also that he once made application to the
The Home news., 1915-10-08

government for the land and was instructed that it belonged to the above railroad. He went to the land agent at Little Rock for the above railroad and was in- formed that they had no record of owning the land. Mir. Win, free then wrote the land office at Washington and was instructed to get statement in writing from the railroad to the effect that they did not own it and when he disclosed the letter from the government to the railroad company when he again went to see their land agent, they claimed the land and he bought it from the railroad, paying them $125. % and taking a quit claim deed. Later Mrs. Emma Mcknight claimed the land and she and Mir. Winfree became involved in a law suit over the land in question and MT. Winfree was paid two or three hundred dollars by Mrs. McKnight for his claim. he ac- cepting the same rather than continuing a law suit against widowed lady.
 It is reported that R. B. Nc Knight sold the land to Geo. Beard and that he sold the same to Chas. Sturdivant, father of the present owner.
 MT. Sturdivant is very positive as to his claim and expresses ut most confidence in retaining title to the land. He thinks that there is some mistake in the land offices and holds no personal feel ing toward MT. Black. The lat ter gentleman fully believes he has lead pipe cinchs and is pro- ceeding to build his house. The many friends of MT. Sturdivant hope that he is right and that he will have no great trouble in proving the same.
 MT. Sturdivant and his lawyer. R. D. Campbell of Cotton Plant, went to Little Rock Thursday and found that there has been three surveys made of the land, one in 1915, one in 1847 and an- other in 1856. Mir. Sturdivant has title from the last survey which annulled those of '15 and AT as the two former surveys were fraudulent so MT. Sturdi- want stated today upon his re- turn home.

 Another point not to be overlooked 1 is
 Iv.-The New Federal Reserve Act Insures Better Prices. President Hirsch of the Texas Bankers Association told the big Cotton States Conference of South ern bankers in Galveston: For the first time in the history of the South, gentlemen, the Southern bankers have the financial ability to market gradually this crop It would al- most appear as if the Federal Re- serve Act had been drafted for the benefit of Southern producers" Just because the reserve act doesn't give the farmers all the help they need just bceuse it doesn't take the place, | nor profess to take the place, of the much needed rural credits legisla- t1on-is no reason for denying or minimizing the great advantages it does offer.
 The Federal reserve system does enable the banks in the South where money is needed, to draw upon the great reserves in other sections for making loans on the cotton crop; or as MT. w. P. G. Harding of the Fed eral Reserve Board officially says:
 Banks have now ample facil- ities which they have never be- fore enjoyed for rediscountins the notes taken against such loans and it is for them more than for
 and other agency, to determine
 the policy of the South in regard to the marketing of the preser;
 crop"
 And President Woodrow Wilson in a lettre to MT. Harding writes: Tt is evident from what you tell me, that the country banks with whom the farmer and other producers directly deal can get money at from four to four and half per cent I think that we can confidently expect that the banks in the cotton States and in the agricultural regions generally will content themselves with a rate not more than one or two per cent above the rate which fey themselves pay" It is up to the banks to justify this faith expressed by the head of the nation.
 And the crop can be warehoused. MT. Harding points out that even last fall the South had facilities for stor.
The Little River news., 1915-09-15

! ing 11,577 ,465 bales, and these facil- ities have leen greatly increased since then.
 The next thing I probably ought to say is
 V.-Twelve.C Gent Prices are Justified,
 COntraband or No COntraband. Of tho S,543,OOO bales of Ameri- can cotton shipped to Europe in the fiscal year ending July 31, 1915, only | 242, ,0O0 bales went to German ports Of course, there was more that went indirectly to Germany, but we must remember that considerable part of Germany's ncrmal demand for cotton was exported to Germany's foreign i trade and that this trade will now be supplied by other countries. The contraband order may almost be terI Ih. ed infamous if England does noth- ing to compensate us for trying to make Southern farmers bear her bur, dens, but in any case to offset the contraband order we have CD f the greatly increased demand for cbtton for war purposes, CD the incrkased demand for American, EnglisH and continetal factories that must supply the trade formerly supplied bk Ger man mills. together with the f hot (5) that Germany is almost sure to buy and stcre up cotton right heref in Ann erica to hold until sea tradle is re- opened. Even with the coihtrabanG order in effect, therefore, twelve-cent prices are amply justified whereas with open seas to all Euro|pe, cotton would likely bring 14 to l cents. An able and eminent cO1nmittee on arbitration ought to be nai led at once by England and Americas to make fair and just estimate of the damage fin price per pound resulting from the "orders in council" and contraband order, and England should then be required to pay this amount per pound as q bonus to every American cotton producer this fall.
 confidently believe that if England should change her contraband rules so as to inflict corresponding injury upon any strong American manufac- turing interest, some such settlement would be required; and Southern farmers shoulh rise up and demand that the same recognition be given an agricultural industry as would be given manufacturing industry.
 The practical lesson clearly taught by present conditions then is- |VL-FarmeTs Should Hold for Twelve Cents and Bankers Should
 Help Them Hold.
 Of course we must be reasonable. Don't expect bankers to lend on cot

likely to be nearer 1O,OOO,OOO than 12,.
 OOO.OOO bales." And now comes the Wall Street Journal itself quoting
 William s. Halliburton, of Daniel o.
 Dell & Co.,, as saying: The current
 seascm's crop may be as low as 10,-
 5OO,OOO bales. It is entirely within
 the reach of present conditions that
 we shall see 12a cent cotton before the
 end of the season.
 These two authorities base their estimates chiefly on condition re-
 ports from all over the South, but might have added the further testi-
 mcny that the South cut its ferti-
 lizer consumption this year from 4,431,00O tons to 2,636,OOO tons-al- most in half-and the effect of this cut will probably make itself most evident from now on as closer scru- tiny is given the fruiting of the crop The reader can easily see for him self therefore, that if we have only a 10,000,000 bale crop, the factories
 of the world would utterly drain the market dry, leaving it subject to such conditions as occurred few years ago when spectators carried prices to 17 and 20 cents a pound. And now having pointed out that twelve-cent prices are justified be- cause the 1915 crop is certainly 5000, 1000 and possibly 5,OOO,OOO bales short of the worlds demands, mean ing that factories and munition fac tories will consume all the present yield with the greater part if not all the worlds visible surplus, also wish to call attention to the fact that
 III. American Prosperity Justi. fies Twelve Cents. The American Bankers Association has just been meeting in Seattle, Washington, and what was the mes sage that the President of this great est organization of financers brough. the country? He predicted, says . | press dispatch, that "an almost un-
 Lelieva'le prosperity is rushing on the nation," or to quote E,s eNac' words:
 "When flank reserves, witch are greater now than they haze ever ' been in the history of thee ountry, are c stributed, the nati,l will en- joy almost unbelievable prosperity.
 The volume of money on hand is so great that it cannot find outlet. The movement of the tre- mendous crops, with the atten-
 dant financial activity, will still further increase the bank reserv- es"
 And manufacturers are nc less op- |timistic than bankers. The Factory Magazine of Chicago recently took poll of 163 Eastern and Middle
