YOUNG MAN DIES BY ACCIDENT.
Manly Brown Shot on Thanksgiving
Day While Out Hunting.

Manly Brown, young man OF 20
years, lost his life last Thursday
evening after he and a relative, Tru-
man Rogers, Of Walhalla Route 3,
had about finished a pleasant hunt
ing expedition.
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Brown were
standing In field at the closing Of
the days hunt, and young Brown
stopped by the side Of an old stump,
against which he rested the butt Of
his gun. 1t is supposed that in some
way the gun slipped. jarring the
trigger Of one barrel, discharging
the load, which struck him in the
left side Of the head, tearing away
the LETT eye and forehead. Death re-
suited IN about 80 minutes, though
the unfortunate young man did not
regain consciousness.
1t so happened that a neighbor was
passing the field where the accident
occurred, driving car. Mr.. Rogers
hailed this car, got in and came to
Walhalla for a physician, who ar
rived on the scene within few min
utes. Young Brown died shortly after
the physicians arrival.
Coroner Abbott was sent for, and
he took the testimony Of the physi
cian Mr.. Rogers and several others
who were nearby at the time Of the
accident, and it was so clearly a case
Of accidental death that it was not
deemed necessary to empanel a jury
Of inquest.
Manly Browns parents have been
dead for number Of years and he
had been making his home with Mr..
and Mrs. Rogers, being related to
the latter.
The accident is deeply deplored on
all sides and cast a pail Of gloom on
the community in which it occurred.

all who ltnew him, and the announce
ment OF his untimely death will be
received with genuine sorrow wher-
ever he was known.
Funeral services were conducted
on the day following the accident,
and the body was laid to rest in the

BILLIONS or DOLLARS VANISH,
Farmers Of Country Bear Greater
Part Of DcflatiOn Losses.

New York, Nov. 29-Falling prices
have Topped off more than $20,OOO,-
100000 value from the high prices
Of American farm products, manu-
featured commodities and stocks rul-
ing earlier this year, according to
figures compiled here Saturday night.
The greater part Of this loss-at least
two-thtrds Or more-has fallen upon
the American farmer.
Twenty billions Of dollars-or six
times the cost Of the Amerncan Civil
War-has vanished in thin air.
That much dehation has been ac-
complished since the American bank
ers have frightened, up on credit. And
the defiation is still continuing in
some commodities, as the daily mar
ket page reports testify.
The biggest loss sustained by the
| American farmer has been on his
corn crop. The indicated corn crop
amounts to 3,20O,00O,0O0 bushels,
| and the price has fallen from So a
bushe1 this year to around Cd cents
That means four-billion dollar
| "deflation.'' -
| The American farmers next big
gest loss on his 1920 crop has been
on cotton. The indicated crop is 12,-
$4,000 bales, and cotton has drop
ped in price $135 bale, which means
that the Southern States will have to
| stand a loss of $1,725, 100000 from
expected sale price.
| The third biggest deflation in the
crops has been in wheat valud,. The
indicated crop is 100000 bush.
els. Since July II wheat has dropped
from $2.74 a bushel to $I.52. Thus
the loss has been around s8G3,0OO,-
| 600. The price Of bread in New York
was reduced one cent loaf Satur-
day.
The Cuban sugar producers have
been compelled to take loss Of ST.
43O, 900. The sugar crop there
Is estimated at 100000 TONS, and
the price Of sugar has fallen 16 cents
e. pound this year, or $358>a ton. But
as yet there has been littls defation
IN the United States n the prfceSof
candy and baking products. h q.
Failing prices in corn, wheat cot
ton, sugar and oats have, knocked at
ieast Is 5000, 600, 90 10 from ithe iHss
which farmers expected to obtain.
There has been a heavy decline in
market prices Of hogs, cattle and
sheep, while hay, tobacco, potatoes,
rice, fruits and other farm products
are selling at prices far below the
high levels Of 1920. Hundreds of mil
lions Of dollars value has been wiped
out IN the hog market alone. Prob
ably sum equal to the loss sustain
cd in wheat, corn, cotton, oats and
sugar has been suffered in the other
farm products.
While hogs, cattle and sheep have
dropped TO record low prices for
| 1920. the price Of these meats at the
butcher shops has shown but slight
decrease Packers have not lowered
their prices in ratio to the drop in
the live stock markets, but have
sought to unload their holdings upon
the consumers at prices which would
more than cover the cost of their
meats at the time OF purchasing.
