Mr.. K. Benton of Chadbourn, Father
of Man Who Committed Suicide,
Seeking Information

Mr.. Killbee Benton of Chadbourn,
father of c. L. Benton, who commit
ted suicide in the woods near Lowe
Tuesday night of last week, stopped
over in Lumberton Monday on his
wa yto Wadesboro to find out about
his sons movements Immediately pre-
ceding his rash act. He is confident
that his sons mind was unbalanced.
Mr.. Benton senior said that his son
was devoted to his children. that
their desertion of him weighed heav-
lily upon his mind, and that in a
letter to him some time prior to his
death he said that his mind was
leaving him and intimated that he
intended to put an end to his misery
So far as this life was concerned.
Mr.. Benton is II years old and
served years in the Civil war. He
pointed with pride to a cross of hon
or with which the Daughters had
decorated him. He said folks in
Chadbourn made up purse to de-
fray his expenses whe nthey learned
how badly he wanted to find out at
first hand all that it was possible to
learn about his son. He heard SC
many different tales, he said. Mr.
Benton mentioned the fact that the
, mother of the dead man died fou,
years ago and that he he'd married
the widow Of Rev. Carson Powell
| of Fair Bluff, who stared to a for.
! eign land as a missionary but his
mind became deranged and he

Farmers Should Ship Now.

An appeal to farmers to ship
their wheat now is made by Fair
fax arrison, Chairman Of the
Railroads War Board, who says:
I'VE are assured that the price
of wheat determined by the Presi-
dent will be maintained throughout
the year by the food administration
and that there can be no objective
in holding wheat. In fact, the far
mer saves interest and de teriora-
ton by marketing early.
AT the epresent time the railways
can handle more wheat to storage
points for ready distribution and
to mills to be manufa ctured into
flour for domestic consumption and
expectation to our allies where it
is much needed and for which ships
are available at ports.
The railways wish to appeal to
the farmers to bring their wheat to
market now Later in the fall the
handling of many more products
will cause congestion and delays.
The railways are now being op-
Grated in common TO serve the en-
tire community. The demands for
movements of military and supplies
will be an increasing burden.
Therefore the railways must have
