James, a. Clardy, for the past four
years postmaster Of the city, died at
his residence on West Main street Sat
urday morning at G:35 O'Clock. Mr.
Clardy had been in declining health for
Ihe past several years and recently
went to Baltimore for treatment. After
remaining there few days he returned
nome in weakened condition and
gradually grew worse until the end
saturday morning. Death was due to
complications following a long asth-
matte affection.
The funeral services were held Sun
oay AFTERNOON in the Laurcns cemetery,
Delng largely attended by sorrowing
friends and relatives. The services
were conducted by his pastor, Rev. s.
II. Templcman, of the First Baptist

Bobo. The active pail bearers
were members Of the office and
force at the post office.

alone at least to the extent Of not de-
pending upon 1t as business. Mr..
Jacobs did not recommend or oppose
the use OF fertilizers, but suggested
that where cotton is reduced the fer
tilizcrs should be used under other
crops. Other addresses were made by
Dr. II. x. Aiken, j. NJ Powers. Lang
ston, DR.. w. II. Dial. Milton Slimcrcl,
Geo. NJ. Davis, John Finley, l.. S. Bolt,
Z. H. Coats and others. The consensus
OF opinion appeared to be that rcduc-
tion should be made by those who
plant large as well as small acrcagcs
in cotton, so that al! would be paced
on an equality. Mr. Finley pointed out
that the man who is now planting a
small acreage in cotton is making n
large proportion OF the cotton crop
and his profits would be increased
rather than decreased by general re-
duction Of acreage. Dr. w. II. Dial
urged that pressure be br0ugh. to bear
on landowners to be liberal with rent
crs by allowing part of the rent to
hn paid in other products than cotton.
For himself, he said that he was will
ing to do this with tenants on his
place.
The committee OF school district
trustees. which Is to meet here Satur-
day, is expected to place the matter of
cotton reduction squarcly before the
armcrs and to leave it to them whether
or not they wish to reduce the acreage.

sioners to sell the road bonds immo
diately so that the money could be used
as the voters directed in the 1917 cleo
ton. Supervisor Watts and the other
commissioners, Messrs. Moore and
Blakcly, at first expressed doubt as
TO the proper course In the matter but
after Mr.. Wright's clear presentation
OF the subject and an examination of
the act they agreed with him on the
position (which he took and decided. as
above stated, to advertise the remain
ing bonds for sale at the earliest date
possible.
Mr.. Watts stated that it would not
be advisable to attempt to sell the first
block Of $l50,00O in bonds, which were
turned down by the purchaser, as the
matter was in the courts and could not
be disposed of Immediately.
While talking Of roads, Mr.. Watts
stated tha: he and Mr.. Cunningham the
