me space in your paper to set
before the public a clear state
ment of some matters in which
at least certain portion of the
people are interested?
refer to stories concerning
my past life now being highly
colcred aud industriously circu-
lated, presumably with intent
to injure the man now holding
office of sheriff of this county,
by whose Appointment l have
served the county for three years
as rural policeman and deputy
sheriff.
First: There is a story that l
am fugitive from justice from
the town of Shelby, N. G. This
is a nice little story, very cum
ningly devised, detailing how
the papers for my arrest are in
the hands of the shirif, who,
out of friendship for me has re-
fused to serve said papers. Now
in this connection, hive deem
ed it best to allow the clerk of
the Superior Court of Cleveland
County, n. c., to speak for me.
Here is his statement:
North Carolina,
Cleveland County.
l, f. L. Hoyle, Clerk of the
Superior Court, for the Coun-
ty of Cleveland and State of
North Carolina, and custodian
of the Court Records Of said
County, do hereby certify that
said records show no criminal
charges standing against j. r.
Abbott. | also certify that the
records show that there never
were any charges on said records
against the said j. Il. Abbott,
except two, that of an alrray
with Henry Graham, and
charge of carrying a concealed
weapon, and these two said cas-
es were Mol Pressed at Fall
Term 1904, Cleveland County
Superior Court.
Witness my hand and official
seal, at Office in Shelby, n. c.,
this 21st day of January, 1916.
F. l.. Hoyle,
Clerk Superior Court.

Now will those honorable gen.
tlemen who were so sure that
the sheriff of this county was
negligent in his duty kindly
come forward and give some
satisfactory evidence Of the
sheriff's derelection, l cordially
invite you to back your asser-
tions to this effect or back down
and admit by your silence that
you were only Singing mud
without regard to the truth.
Second: There was another
story, evidently the creation of
a mind of the purest and noble
character (?). This story is to
the effect that | now have wife
and three chrildreE in N. c.,
while married here and raising
a family. Rather than merely
content myself with denials of
this infamous falsehood, | went

which lies off the coast of south
ern Albania, and the Serbian
soldiers are being brought here
from Albania for recuperation.
The wounded have been lodged
in Achilleit n Castle, the Medi-
terranean villa of the German
Emperor, which was built for
the Princess Elizabeth of Aus
tria in 1890.
The German papers denounce
the raising of the French flag
over Achilleion as personal in
suit to the Kaiser as we'll as a
violation Of the Greek neutrali-
ty, worse even than the occupa-
ton of Salonica since Corfu, is
like Belgium, under guarantee
of perpetual neutrality by Eng
land, Russia, Austria, Prussia
and France in the treaties of
of Novemb Der ii 1868, and March
20, 1854. Corfu was up to that
time under the protection of
Great Britain, but the inhabi
tants longed for union with their
Hellenic brethren and manifes-
tations Cf disaffection were fire.
quent. Finally Bulwer Lytton,
when Secretary of State for the
Colonies, took the unconvention-
al step of sending Gladstone, be
cause of his interest in Greek
literature, to the Ionian Isles as
a commissioner to learn the de.
sires of the people, and as a con-
sequence the seven islands were
transferred to Greece, which was
then placed under Danish
prince, George, father of the
reigniDg King Constantine.
The Greek government has
protested to the Allied Powers
against this new violation of her
neutrality, but is not likely to
take any further action since
the Allied troops already on
Greek territory outnumber the
Greek army. The Allied Powers
have informed Greece that their
occupation of the island is only
temporary lin order to save the
heroic Serbian soldiers from fa-
mine ana destruction" 1t is
claimed that the German and
Austrian submarines have been
using the sheltered inlets of
Corfu for repairing, and replen-
ishing their fuel.
1t appears that the German as.
sault OF the French lines last
week was more serious affair
that was at first reported. Ac-
cordlng to the French account
the Germans bonn barded their
entrenchments along a front of
five miles near the butte of LIE
Mesnil for four days, firing 40O,-
900 shells in the last twelve
hours. Then they charged, not
IN solid column as they used to
but in four successive waves.
Three waves were stopped by
the curtain Of fire from batteries
Of the French 1878 but the fourth
wave gained the first line of
trenches for distance of three
or four hundred yards. Most of
this was recovered later by the
counter-atGacks of the French.
The Germans used asphyxiating
gases but to little effect, for the
wind changed and blew the
fumes back over their own ranks.
| The French unofficial estimates
give the enemy's losses as over
25,000.

Plant Board to Furnish Whitetiy
Fungus at Cost

1t will soon be time to put
whiteay fungi in citrus groves.
Since growers are apt to intro
duce diseases into their groves by
obtaining fungus material from
other groves, the State Plant
Board has ruled that such mater
ial cannot be transferred from
one grove to another. The Beard
is growing about 1000 pure cul-
lures Of the red whitehy fungus
for distribution. These will be
sold at cost, so cents a culture.
According to A. c. Mason, as
sistant entomologist to the Board,
each culture win spray about an
acre. This makes the cost for
material about 50 cents an acre.
The cultures are sent out in bot
ties, They should be thoroughly
mixed in a gallon of water. This
is made up to seventy gallons
with water Counting seventy
trees to the acre and a gallon of
spray to the tree the foregoing
amount should treat an acre. 1t
is not necessary to spray the
whole tree. A ring around the
branches half way up is sufficient,
The fungus will spread over the
remaining part of the tree.
The best time to spray is dur
ing warm damp weather. 1t is
not advisable to spray during
shower of Immediately after one
because the fungus material is
apt to wash off.
The supply of fungus material
which the Board can furnish is
limited and those who desire to
obtain it should write at once to
the Entomologist to the State
Plant Board, University of Flori-
da, Gainesville, Some cultures
are ready for distribution and
the full 1000 will be ready by
early July. Full instructions for
are sent with each
culture.
