HAYWOOD COUNTIAN VICTIM
OF SHOTGUN ACCIDENT

A dispatch from Brownsville to the
Memphis Commercial Appeal, dated
January 3, says that HI. 4. Currie,
prominent farmer and stock raiser
ef Haywood county, and for several
wears figure In politics. was found
dead on the doorstep of his home
two miles from there that afternoon
shortly after 5 o'clock. Lying BY his
side was a shotgun from which one
charge had been fired, it having
pierced MIR. Currie's side and entered
the heart.
"A coroner's inquest was held the
same night, and the jury reached
the decision that Mr.. Currie came to
his death by accidental discharge
Of his shotgun. The theory is that
Currie had started up the steps and
his foot slipped on ice, causing him
To fall and discharge the gun.
Mr.. Currie was popularity known as
"Jack" Currie and for years was rec
ognized as one of the prominent
stockmen of the country. He was
president of the National Poland
China, association, and exhibited hogs
at nearly all the state fairs in the
United States. He sent annual ex-
hibits to the Tri-State fair in Mem
phis. He was register of Haywood
county for eight years,
Currie left his home about o'clock
Friday afternoon, presumably to go
hunting. His wife soon missed him
and made inquiry, sending several
tenants out to seek him. They
searched the entire farm, to no avail,
and returned to find Currie dead on
the front steps, the shotgun beside
him A physician was summoned
and he found life had been extinct
two hours. Mrs. Currie was in the
rear Of the house, and could have
easily missed hearing the gun ex-
nlode.

A BOY AND A MONKEY TIME

We were told good one few
days ago on Coyington boy who
took fancy to monkey that was
the chief actor in a street show Civ
en- on a vacant lot here short time
ago.
The boy was SO carried away with
the antics Of the monkey that he
took his younger brother to SUI the
animal, offering him a red, white
and blue pencil in lieu Of candy.
The monkey, thinking the pencil was
piece Of candy, ehewed IL into
bits. This enraged the boy, and he
slapped the monkey, whereupon in
turn the animal became enraged and
jumped on the boys shoulders, wrap
ping it's tail around his neck The
boy Immediately beat a hasty re-
treat, the monkey still holding on to
his neck. When the boy jumped
over d fence, he fell on his stom-
ach, the little animal landing square
ly on his back, and tore the greater
portion of his clothing off.
The owner of the monkey finally
came to the rescue, thinking the boy
was kidnapping it, and pulled the
Simian off the boy, who, very sadly
and a wiser and better boy,
returned to his home,

Y. O. AUTO TRUCK LINE
SOON TO BE STARTED

Country produce to Memphis from
within radius Of SO miles by post
office automobile trucks promises to
be reality within a few days, ac-
cording to information reaching Post
master Charles W. Metcalf, says the
Evening Scimitar of that date.
Eight huge army trucks, originally
intended for military use in France,
have been ordered sent to Memphis
the war department for use in
conveying Vegetables, meat and other
articles by mail to this metropolis
from towns in Tennessee, Mississippi
and Arkansas within 30 miles.
The date of their arrival has not
been made known to Metcalf. How
ever, the postmaster states they will
be operated on regular schedule, pro-
yided the roads permit In many
places it is known the roads will ma
terially affect the traffic and Metcalf
states it will be up to the communi-
ties to obtain the auto truck mail
service by building good roads.
The regular parcel post rates will
prevail on the shipments. The first
pound BY that system will cost 5
cents, thereafter an increase Of ! cent
per pound, with a maximum of 70
POUNDS, which will cost IA cents
The advantages Of this truck SER
vice to farmers near Memphis are
said to be unlimited. Eggs may be-
sent to Memphis fresh from the
nests, home-killed pork and beef ship
ped here at a cheaper rate and much
more quickly and vegetables sent in
fresh.
The routine and other details Of the
truck service, for which Postmaster
Metcalf has been working for some
time, viii be threshed out in a few
days. 1t is probable one-day sched-
ule will be made, or maybe two.
Farmers now on the route Of the
trucks may assemble their goods on
the right of way.
No first-class mail viii be carried.

RAISE BROOM CORN


Broom corn is very profitable
crop, and can be grown in Tennes-
see remarkably well. The prices
range from $500 to $3.50 per ton. 1t
is comparatively easily cultivated, will
grow on any land that is suitable for
corn, and there is an unlimited de-
mand for any amount It usually
produces at the rate Of ton to
three or four acres of ground. The
seed is useful for feeding stock, be-
ing nutritious and fattening.
Culture. Sow the seed in drills
three feet apart, at the rate of from
three to five pounds per acre, thin
ming to about three inches apart, so
as to leave 20 stalks to the rod. Gull
tiyate same as for corn. If the land
is rich, the seed should be sown thick
er and the stalks left closer together
than on the medium or poor land.
To make the broom, it should be cut
when seed is in the milk state, as If
allowed to ripen It changes from its
bright, green or and takes on 4
reddish tinge, al does not make good
brooms. Tt cen be used, however,
even when over-ripe, but viii pay
much better If cut at the proper time.
