Messrs. w. P. Pollock and ].

board of education by the State
board.
A still was captured on Lanes
Creek just over in Marshville
township last Friday by officers
j V. and Earl Griffith and Earn
hardt of Monroe. Two Polk
boys were arrested, but a third
man, said to be Ed Mullis, es.
capped under fire from three pis-
tolls and fired back as he ran.
Mr.. w. T. Rutledge received
a letter Saturday stating that his
son Mr.. John Rutledge was
sick in a hospital in Atlanta,
where he has been attending a
dental college. The illness is
not supposed to be very serious,
and still nothing definite is
known about the trouble.
Mr.. and Mrs. D. V. Hendricks
have been sick for several
weeks, and very little had been
done toward a crop. Last
Wednesday morning there were
twenty plows in his fields and
IN the afternoon there were rhir,
teen. Manure and fertilizer was
put out, and by night a larger
part of his crop was planted.
Only another evidence that this
is a good section to live in.
All motor cars in the State are
required to be registered with
the State Highway Engineer by
July lst. as provided by the
recent act of the legislature.
We have written for one hun.

Mrs. Emma A. Nelson, widow
of the late Rev. ]. S. Nelson,
died at the home OF her son in
law, Mr.. Carl Blakeney, at Jef-
ferson last Wednesday night. The
body was carried Thursday to
Charlotte and buried beside that
of her husband. Two sons and
one daughter survive. She had
been member of the church
for many years, and was a good
woman. She was II years old.
Her husband was a minister in
this county many years ago, and
will be remembered by the older
people of the county.
The two. weeks term of civil
court for this county lasted three
days only. Monday and Tues
day of last week were spent on
equity cases. One case was
tried, this being that of Wallace
VS. Bank of Ruby and Mt.
Croghan. A mtstrial was ordered,
and thus the docket stands about
like it was before court con-
vened. The reason for the early
adjournment was that the farm
ers are very busy at this season,
and owing to the unusual de-
mand for farm products it was
thought wise to let the lawing
go by for while. Those re-
sponslble for this action are TO
be commended. Lawing is
poor business (for all except the
lawyers) at any time and es
pecially so when every man
who farms is needed at home.
This paper was pleased to know
that this action had been taken.

TREATMENTS HIGH WAGES.

When I note from the reports
made to the Interstate COIN~
merce Commission that these
men receive average yearly
wages so per cent higher than
those OF all other railway en-
ployes, and practically double
those of the average American
wage-worker, it occurs to me
that they at least have less
cause for complaint than most
others. When I consider that
the average locomotive engineer
has an income Of over $1,000
a year, and that most of the
engineers who have been long
In service make from $1,000
to $1,000 a year, and when I
compare their hours, labor and
responsibilities with those of
the average small merchant,
farmer or doctor, whose income
is far less, it seems that In all
fairness they are well paid
