CREAMERY STOCKHOLDERS
HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING.
Lack Desired Number Of SharehOld.
eFs, But Think When Routes Are
Made Others Will Join.

& meeting of the stockholders and
supporters of the Blue Ridge Creamery
WIS he'd Monday morning in the offices
OF the city hall. About forty farmers
and citizens were present The OBJ
ject of the meeting was to perfect final
pins foT the reorganization of tbs
enterprise on the cooperative plan
The report Of the secretary showed
that So farmers had already subscriD-
Ell TO stock at $50 ped share 1t is the
desire of the officers to place at least
60 shares among the. patrons of the
creamery.
Br A. c. Wheeler, manager of the
Rfltmore farms, presided at the meet
sRss Col T. Gilbert Wood, of the IN
Railway company. T. Cornelius, of the
dairy division of the U. S. Department
OF 4 agriculture and A. J. Reed, Of-tAe
North Carolina EXper meHt station a.
Raleigh, made short talks to the farm
ess., The information they conveyed
was OF vital interest to the creamery
supporters and a vote of appreciation
was made at the close of the meeting
"a committee was appointed with f.
w. Fletcher, chairman to present al
the next meeting a map CT the. county
all the proposed routes to be
made by creamery wagons. Quite j
Number of farmers have been holding
bSelt their subscription to stock until
they know whether they are to be
reached by a wagon. A number Of
fazBers do not keep enough COWS to
warrant their own delivery of the
Rroduct to the creamery. 1t is thought
that when the route matter settled
there will be enough new stockhold-
Eefs and customers pledged to make
tie cooperative plan success.
The local promoters are very en-
thusiastic over the prospects and arc
arm N their belief that the enterprise
will mean a great deal more to Hen
deTsOn county than the average citizen
new realizes.
The next meeting will be held on
february z, at the city hall. There will
also be a meeting held in Brevard in
tks near future.

GAIN FROM
 AUSTRLHNSAND FRENCH
 FROM GERMAN FORCES

noon when Sergeant Sullivan, Sir Rogers leading attorney, collapsed in the midst of an impassioned summing up.
 Mr. Sullivan, who is himself an lrishman, was painting a picture of the wrongs he declared were suffered py Ireland and maintaining that the prisoner had committed no treason when he attempted to raise an Irish brigade in Germany for the purpose of protecting the rights of the peo- pie of Ireland against unlawful ty- ranny."
 It was during one of his most heat ed outbursts that the speaker sud- denly paused. swayed heavily against the bench and then collapsed into a seat.
 The justices early in session today, overruled the action of the defense to quash the indictment on the ground that the statute under which it was drawn did not provide for the trial of man who committed treason outside the realm. The effort to establish this was admittedly the prisoners main de- fense. It was announced that no wit ness must be secured in Germany and , this was not permitted. With the failure of this move, Sir Roger himself was called upon to make a statemenh to the jury This statement, which was not given under oath, and consequently permitted of nc
 ross examination from flat denials that ] Knight had worked in the interests of | Germany or that he had accepted Ger man gold as bribe.
 1 Tn Berlin Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the i Socialist leader. was sentenced today 10 thirty months penal servituae and dismissal from the army for attempt- ed high treason, gross insuhordinatior l and resistance to the authorities.
 The court decided that Dr. Lieb- 1 iinecht was guided by political ia. l naticisn and not by unpatriotic feel
 ing and therefore. imposed the low ] est penalty on him. Dr. Liebknech ] is entitled to appeal from the sen.
 tence. The charge against Dr. Lieb
 knccht was attempted treason. durin!
