that kind of arithmetic. When you
resolve their complaints down to the

Velvet Beans for
Cattle Feeders

CLEMSON COLLEGE, May -
For wintering cattle and feeding
steers, the velvet bean both as a
winter pasture crop and grain feed
for cattle in the pen is unsurpassed
by any crop that we have in the
SOUTH" says W. J. Shealy, extension
Animl husbandman. in urging
farmers who have not already plant
ed velvet beans for feed and pasture
for cattle and steers next winter,
to get in good crop of beans at
once.
Steers run on velvet bean fields
and then finished out in the feed lot
for a short period on cottonseed
meal and silage with few velvet
beans would be a money-making
proposition. Breeding cattle and
Btockers can be wintered easily on
velvet bean grain supplemented by a
little silage.
Feeding tests have shown that two
pounds of velvet beans in the hull
are worth one pound of prime cotton
seed meal When the beans are
gown on the place. they have an even
greater total vlaue than teh feeding
tests have shown, since they also
enrich the soil. The Extension Serv-
ice, therefore, reminds all cattle men
and steer feeders to put in velvet
beans for feeding purposes in ample
time this season in order to cut the
feed bills as we'll as to reduce the
need for fertilizers.

NEW ORLEANS, May 2I.-Wlde breaks
resulted in cotton today from the growth

NEW ORLEANS, May 21.-De-
clines of SIS a bale and more were
brought about in the cotton market
today by a selling movement that
started on the opening and gained
Roadway as the session progressed.
1t appeared to be based mainly
on bearish sentiment resulting from
talk of lower prices for all commod-
tiles although some of the selling
was traced by some brokers to bet
ter weather conditions over the belt

ed crop outlook

BELIEVED DEAD MAN
 HEAD MONTGOMERY BAND OF ROBBERS
Other 15 Negroes Now In Jail Involved By Confession. Motive for 0utlaWry
 Sought
By FRED H. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Ape- Herald

22l2 First National Bank Building
 Montgomery, November 2.-tSpeciai.) The ringleader of the rowing band of negroes which pillaged, robbed and burned residences, cotton gins, cotton houses and tenant houses in the inte- rior of Montgomery county from Satur- day night to Monday afternoon is dead. Ills assistants are in the Montgomery county jail on charges of arson and other crimes, according to a confession of one of the negroes which is now being carefully guarded by officers un- til 1t is submitted to the grand jury.
 The confession was made to deputies ard said that Warren Taylor. who was killed by officers Monday afternoon when he attempted to kill Sheriff J. l.. Scogin, Chief of Police W. H. Taylor and deputies, arranged for the commits sion of the crimes and led the mob, and that fifteen other negroes now in jail were involved. The officer from whom information of the confession was obtained declined to say whether or not others were involved in the crimes
 Taylor first robbed his mothers home of $500 and started out with the mob on the spree which resulted in the firing of cotton gins. tenant houses and other buildings. In brush with officers the negro was shot. He then reported that he had pursued the mob and was shot by one of them. His story of his heroism was plausible and was believed for awhile, but later he was suspected of being one of the mob. An investigation and a search disclosed tie money on the negro. He was ar rested and killed when he grabbed a pistol of Chief Taylor and attempted to kill his captors.
 Sheriff Scogin, Chief Taylor and .: ". Austin, chief of the state law en- forcement department, believe great majority of the conspirators are behind the bars. They are now attempting to ferret out the motives for the crimes. They believe now that the crimes were planned by another and the opinion has been expressed that the organiza = ton may have been formed in the heart of Montgomery and for a purpose widely separated from that which prompted night riders to post warn- ings on cotton gins throughout the south
 No reports of further crimes have been received since the negroes were placed in jail
