GROUNDING PLAGUE
IN JEFFERSON COUNTY

A plague OF groundhogs is caus-
ing considerable annoyance to farm
ers in this section, especially In the
country north Of Shepherdstown,
says the Register. 1t is said that in
some cases they are the occasion
of loss in the cornfields by eating
the stalks off and then consuming
the corn in the ear. 1t is only Of
late years that groundhogs have
appeared in this section in consid-
cradle number, but they are now
becoming very numerous. On Wild
Goose Farm My Tyler has shot a
large number OF them the past few
weeks, while Fred Kinsell, of Scrab-

Hagerstown, Aug. EFT will no

Talon slip from its grasp il that
club is unable to explain satisfac-
torily why four "class" players, as
charged by IEagerstown, were car

called upon to explain the $500 Civ

If the league officials so rule, it
is possible that Frederick will be

Insurance Men Given
Extension Of A Day
Garnishment Funds May Not Exceed
$250,00O

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 17-By agree
nent of the attorneys in the insur-
enee case further extension of time
was allowed for the garnishees to
answer, the last day being fixed as
Tuesday, Jan. IS. Reports of garni-
shoes are being mailed in and are
reaching the chancery clerks office in
every mail. The largest amount of
assets thus far reported from any ore
agency is 100000, the others running
lower. Some of those to come may
exceed these figures.
The total amount Of garnishment
funds on the average per company,
as reported today, will probably not
exceed $250,000, some agents report
ing less than 500 per company.
Attorneys for the insurance com
panies stated this afternoon that no
appeal would be taken, as had been
intended, in the injunction case. The
motion to grant the appeal had been
allowed by the chancellor and the or

The answers to the injunction and the
original bill will go ever for hearing

Some uneasiness has been mani.
tested by the agents of the new COM
panies now entering the state as to
whether they can legally write in
surance on the printed rates promul-
gated by the advisory bureap. As to
this there is, however, not the slight
est question. The legality Of the
advisory bureau rates is not in dis
pute. The sole question in the suit
brought by the revenue agent is as
to whether the companies did use
such rates in collision with each
other, and by mutual agreement 70
adopt such rates as an agreed rate
for writing. insurance IN the state.
Any one company has the right TO
use amy rate it may choose to adopt

agree with any one or more COM
panies to use such rates exclusively.

stairs on hearing screams or groans
shortly after the murder.
1t appears now to be the almost
unanimous opinion of the investiga-
tors that the barrel and box placed at
the bathroom window was not used to
gain an entrance into the home
through the window by the murderers
there being no mud on either, as
would have been the case because of
the heavy rain of the early might, nei-
Their were there any signs in the bath
room of anyone having passed
through there. These facts together
with the fact that two pistols, the
trousers and empty purses were left
on the rear gallery is taken to indi-
cate that the murder was desired to
create the impression that robbery
was the sole motive for the murder.
The opinion is gaining ground that
either the murders entered a door
which had been left unlocked or that
they concealed themselves in the
house early, before the doors were
locked for the night.

culture, and above all the value Of the
spirit Of cooperation among our peo-
pie
Mr.. Fl. L. Whitfield then addressed
the gathering. He outlined a plan OF
marketing, standardization Of pro-
ducts. and marketing facilities He de-
clared that efficient and proper means
Of and facilities for marketing must
be provided if there is to be an ex-
pansion in production of diversified
crops.
He outlined the plan of campaign
which the Chamber Of Commerce is
about to launch, stating that it would
be a sustained and maintained drive
in which the farmers of the various
communities would be called upon to
organize into units for effective CO.
operation. He said it would be mis-
take to launch out an Intensive cam
paign and not provide ways and means
of carrying the work on after the en-
thusiasm of the campaign has died
down.
Mr.. Whitfield was followed by Mr..
H. P. Williams, who recently moved
to Lowndes county from Pcksus
county, Alabama. Mr.. Williams made
very fine impression on his hearers
by presenting the question Of better
farming from a practical standpoint.
He is a practical farmer, himself, and
he presented the subject in an intelli-
gent and effective manner, offering
many good suggestions. He said that
with the change in the system of
farming more attention must be paid
to the industry; that the farmers
must stay on the job. and diligently
and actively keep in touch with all Of
their operations and employ the best
brains and thought at their command
in the prosecution of their work.
He declored that the day of the
large farm had passed; that 80 to 200
acres of land was ample for one man
to look after and operate profitably,
Mr.. Williams said that last year he
made nice profit from peanuts when
they were selling ut sl.65 a bushel
and recommended this as q rop whic'
should prove profitable. He uyped the
raising of more hogs on the Ia m, the
planting Of sweet potatoes and corn
and the marketing of these crops
through the hogs.

subject Of marketing, declaring that

Mrs. Price To Tell
How Husband Died
VIII OF Murdered Attorney Re-
covers From Shock.

Meridian, Miss, Jan. 1.-THE
coroner's jury investigating the muir
der of Moody Price, former justice of
the peace and United States COM
missioner, who was hacked to death
with an AK, being attacked while in
bed at his home here early last Friday
morning, was recalled this afternoon
by Coroner C. D. Hobgood for the
purpose of taking further testimony
in hopes of uncoyering a clew to the
identity of the murderers. At the
hour Of adjournment tonikht, after
number of new witnesses had tes-
titled, the jury announced that the
testimony of Mrs. Price, who was ly-
ing by the side of her husband when
they were both awakened by the
flashlight of the murderers and who
was either rendered unconscious by a
blow or who tainted from fright when
the first of the 10 CHASTITY blows were
struck that killed Judge Price, would
be taken tomorrow.
1t is stated that Mrs. Price has so
far recovered from the shock as to be
able to appear before the Jury, and
around her statement hinges at this
time the only hope OF the investiga-
tors to solve the mystery surrounding
the identity Of the murderers.
1t is thought that with her mind
more clear as result of the interval
that has passed since the murder that
she may be able to remember more Of
the facts incident to the murder than
when she regained CONSCIOUSNESS i'm
mediately after the tragedy. Her
statement at that time was that she
and her husband were awakened at
about the same time and as both
sat up in the bed light was flashed
in their eyes, binding her SO that she
could distinguish only the dark forms
of two men.
Little beyond this was she able to
remember, when picked up from the
floor in the hall by her son-in-law,

The damage is around $1,000 or more.
