CHAMP CLARK SOLVES
HIGH COST OF LIVING,
Buy Some Laying Hens and Eat
More Corn Products and Rice, Says
the Sneaker

Buy Some Laying Hens and Eat
More Corn Products and Rice, Says
the Speaker.
Washington Dispatch. Nov. 81.
I If the high cost of living bothers
you don't wait for governmental
remedies. but buy some laying hens
and eat more rice and corn products,
says Speaker Clark. Not that he
does not think the government can
help bringing down the price of food
stuffs by legislative or other action,
but he pins greater faith in more di-
rect methods.
Thus the speaker expressed him
self today on the high cost of living
problem which he regards as one of
the greatest facing the nation. Re-
'ferring to Representative Fitzgerald g
embargo bill he said:
There may or may not be chance
for Mr.. Fitzgerald's proposed bill. II
might do some good: | don't know"
The speaker declared that he will
urge passage this year OF a federal
law prohibiting the killing of veal
calves. Such a measure failed at
the last session. He also expressed
the view that egg spectators violate
the law holding eggs for a rise in
price.

Loss BY Improper Grading.

Cotton growers In the United
States lost something like $500. 900
In 1913-1914 because grades were
not properly taken into account in
the primary sales, according to the
announcement by the national De-
partment of Agriculture. Losses due
to inaccurate grading are still great
in spite of the tendency toward i'm
proved conditions since the promul-
cation of the official cotton standards
of the United States, the announce
ment added. The departments esti-
mate was based on field survey of
cotton marketing In representative
cities in the nine principal cotton
growing states.
The department calls attention to
the fact that cotton producers can
have large share In improving these
conditions and II urges growers to
familiarize themselves with grades
and to insist that the proper CLASH
flcation be given their bales by buy
ers. Emphasis also Is placed on the
economic importance of securing
proper ginning. adequate baling and
covering and proper storage.

TRAGEDY AT LILESNILIE
Lloyd Morton Accidentally Shoots
Himself While Hunting - Death
Followed.

Wadesboro Ansonian.
Lloyd. the 15-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. James A. Morton, aeeiden-
tally shot himself Friday afternoon
while hunting near Lilesville, the
home of his parents. lie was in the
act of setting down by log when the
hammer struck some object causing
il 10 fire one or both barrels. The
fatal wound was just back of the
right ear and he died without speak
ing TO his companion. The particu-
lars OF the sad affair. which has cast
a gloom over the entire town, reach
ed here soon after it happened. Ii
seems that Lloyd Morton and Hardy
Sellers were hunting and came to Mr..
w. j. McCaskill's sawmill, near the
town. They stopped at the mill
where Mr.. McCaskill and others were
at work, doing some repairing. Lloyd
was standing near the carriage track
of the mill and started to set his gun
down. II is thought that the hammer
struck some part of the carriage and
this caused it to fire. Ii is not
known whether one or both barrels
fired. as he had shot squirrel a few
minutes before the accident and his
companion does not know whether he
had reloaded the empty barrel or not
and both barrels were empty when
the gun was examined. An ugly
wound was made, almost the entire
back of his head being torn away.
Lloyd was a popular boy in the COM
munity and gave promise of a useful
life. His family is one of the most
prominent of the community and have
the sympathy of host of friends.
He was a student of the Lilesville
high school and had been out of the
school for a few days on account of
the scarlet fever scare in the town.
The funeral at the Baptist church
was attended by large number of
relatives and friends and the burial
was in the cemetery of at the church.
The service was conducted by the
pastor, Rev. T. b. Justice.

Death of William Pitts.
Chesterfield Advertiser.


Mr. William Pitts, spoken of as
the oldest man in Chesterfield coun-
ty. died at his home in the Shiloh
community last Sunday night at 8
O'Clock.
His body was laid to rest in the
Pitts graveyard Monday afternoon
at a o'clock In the presence of a
large concourse of friends. The Rev.
J. l.. Tyler conducted the funeral
service.
Mr.. Pitts died in his 9th year and
is survived by his wife and nephew
Charley.
This man has lived a remarkable
life. Long before his fatal illness
this writer had often heard Billy
Pitts spoken of not only as a very
old and very active man but this one
expression has been often repeated
In speaking of him: I'm his dealings
he was as straight as die" He
always walked with head erect and
shoulders thrown back In a manner
that would shame many a young man
and this erect physical posture was
often likened to his moral character.
1t Is said that he died within one
half mile of the place of his birth.
He was typical Chesterfield county
farmer and loved his county and its
people. He worked, even plowed his
own farm up to few years ago. Up
to the last his mind was clear except
during severe attacks of the malady
that carried him off. All of Chester
field county knew him and his death
is mourned by all who knew him.

Democrats MAY Control.
Washington Dispatch to Greensbor
News.

Washington Dispatch to Greensboro
News.
II is generally conceded here by
Republican leaders that the Demo-
Gratis will have control in the next
House by a narrow margin, and that
they will be able TO organize with the
assistance of the Progressives and
Prohibition and Socialist members.
Many OF the Republicans from the
Western States which went for Will
son this fall will refuse to support
Jim Mann of Illinois for Speaker. or
any other Republican who will not
agree to change the rules from the
old Cannon regime. when the Speak
er of the House had more power.
some people say. than the President
of the United States.
Inc Republicans 1t is said. know
they cannot coerce these Western
statesmen into voting for Mann. and
rather than make fight and lose, or
to win and adopt Democratic rules.
they had rather wait at least another
four years before they attempt to
take over control of the lower branch
of Congress.

Three shots took effect in Mrs.
Aycock's right hand. but beyond be-
ing painful at the time being. nothing
serious will result. Eleven shots
struck the baby around the neck. face
and back. None of them broke
through the skin. but just simply
blistered the flesh. Most of the con-
tents of the gun struck the little girl
in the right jaw, literally tearing 1t

and on a nearby bed. Several shots
struck her below the right ear. which
probably caused her instant death.
The accident occurred about seven
O'Clock Thanksgiving morning. The
family had had breakfast, and Mr..
Aycock had left the house to go TO
the barn to attend TO some chores.
Mrs. Aycock had gone into the back
room to makeup bed. and the lit
tie girl. with the baby in her asm3,
had followed her there. She was
swinging the baby in her arms when
she was killed.
Not thinking the gun was loaded.
the little boy had taken ii off the
rack in the hall, and had started to-
wards the room. On the way he was
lingering the hammers ON the gun,
and when he reached the door that
led into the room in which his moth
er and sister were in, the hammer
slipped.
On the night before, Ellis Aycock,
an older son, aged Is, had heard
some dogs prowling around the
house. Going to investigate, he
loaded the gun and took it with him.
Finding that the dogs had left the
place. young Aycock returned. put

Wadesboro NJ. & |.

Wadesboro NJ. & /.
Governor Craig on Monday signed
a pardon for Jesse A. Price, who, at
the September, 1911. term of court
was found guilty of the murder of
Lester Rushing and sentenced to sew
en- years on the changing. Price
had served four years six months and
ten days of his term when he was re-
leased Tuesday. His brother, Robert
4. Price, who was also convicted of
murder and sentenced to three years,
was pardoned on account of his
health after serving short time.
The killing of Rushing occurred in
fight which Jesse and Robert Price
had with Lester Rushing and his
brother Tom. Tom Rushing was also
wounded, but not seriously. The
killing occurred on October 18th,
1910, and the Prices were convicted
at the September, 1911, term of
court. They appealed, but their SEN
fences were affirmed by the supreme
court.
Jesse Price has made a model pris-
oner, and all those who were thor
oughly conversant with the circum-
stances of the killing are satisfied
that he has been adequately punished.

Two Items In High Cost of Living
New York World.

In its search yesterday for reasons
for the high price OF milk and the
skyrocketing advance in eggs, the
Wicks Legislative Committee brought
out two facts.
First-The New York Central is
paying $4,000 a year to the estate
of Robert E. Westcott, the express
man. for supervising" milk ship
ments to New York from districts in
the norther part of this State, where
Mr.. Westcott developed a milk trade
for the railroad years ago.
Second-A car load of Indiana
eggs, sold by the Decatur Produce
Company last June to a New York
City wholesaler at 24h cents doz-
en-, was resold nine or ten times
without leaving the cold storage
warehouse. until the St. Regis Hotel
paid 43 cents dozen for part of the
lot on Nov. Is.
There was also evidence that large
quantities of coal tar dyes are used
In this city TO color ice cream.
