Young Ledbetter's Ex-
II, perience.
(From chrrlotte Observer. Jan. 2ist.)
Judge Walter Neal. of Laurin-
burg, contributes a statement to
The Observer this morning which
sets Mr.. H. S. Ledbetter, Jr., of
Rockingham, in aproper light be
fore the public. The young man
appears to have been the victim
of circumstances growing out Of
nothing other than his presence
in Wilmington coincidental with
the occurance there of a local
tragedy, with which he could
have had no possible connection
other than a chance meeting with
the victim some time previous to
the affair. Local authorities,
hunting for Clues learned Of his
chance meeting and OF the sup
posed disappearance" of Ledbet-
ter, and he was forthwith classed
as a suspect Judge Meals let
ter makes the entire situation, so
far as the Rockingham young
man, is concerned, entirely clear
and the clearing up of the matter
will bring qualification to all in
this section Of the State who have
enjoyed acquaintanceship with
the Rockingham Ledhetters, the
name itself having been a guar
antee that somebody at the other
end Of the line was at tault in I'm

IDAHO EXHIBITS
ATTRACT ATTENTION
UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENT STA
TON GRAINS A FEATURE OF
THE SPOKANE FAIR

Among the interesting exhibits at
the fair this week is that of the
Farm Crops department of the Idaho
experiment station of the University
of Idaho.
There are displays of grains and
grasses grown within the state and
charts showing the diseases which
affect these plants.
Especially interesting is the series
of photos showing the work of the
department in corr breeding. These
photos show plainly the effect of
careful selection of seed corn on the
quality of grain produced. 1t is
shown that by planting cor from
each ear in a separate row and then
selecting seed only from the ears
that have produced the best, a far
higher grade of corr may be pro-
duced.
Another interesting feature of the
exhibit is the maps showing the dis
tribution of the principal crops of the
state.-Spokane Chronicle.
