COMET REPORTED DUE IN JUNE
One Chance in u Thousand that 1t
May Bump Into Earth.

London. March 2.-The earth may
have the novel expe ience of collid-
ing with comet next June, though
the chances against a collision are
about one thousand TO one, accord
ing to DR.. Crommelin. of the Royal
Observatory at Greenwich. How
ever, even If the celestial visitor
does happen to bump into the earth
it will cause no catastrophe, DR..
Crommelin says. People generally
would not even notice it, and as for
the astronomers they would really
welcome collision because it would
give them an opportunity Of finding
out what comets are made Of
The come is known as the Pons-
Winnecke, first named in 1919. 1t
becomes visible from the earth every
five and three-quarters years. Pons-
Winnecke is different from the usual
comet in that instead of having a
tail like most comets, it has a trail
o; meteors five or six hundred miles
long. When near the earth this
comet travels at the rate Of "a miles
a second.

To Correct n Slander.
Progressive Farmer }

1t Is hard to correct false reports.
Error travels faster than truth, and
1t would seem that it is also held
more naciously by the human
mind. There never was any truth in
the statement that "camHalgns for
the reduction OF the cottoh acreage
In the past have always failed" In
fact, they have always incceeded,
both In reducing the cotton acreage
and In increasing the price.
There have been since 1895 four
well-marked campaigns for the re-
due ion Of tho cotton acreage. The
one in 1919 was largely conducted
by cotton factors, supply merchants
and bankers, and was discontinued
as soon as prices began going up
but there was a reduction in the
acreage Just the same Here are a
few facts that are we'll worth con-
siderlng in regard TO the effects OF
acreage reduction campaigns in the
past:
1905-Acreage reduced 1871 per
cent. Price increased 20 per cent
1S95-Acreage reduced 14.7 per
cent. Price increased 65 per cent
19l5-Acreage reduced 14.7 per
cent. Price increased &C per cent
19l9-Acreage reduced IA per
cent. Price Increased 80 per cent
The acreage will be reduced In
1921 If the price continues low-not
SO per cent, we may be sure, but a
good deal. 1t Is an absolute neces-
sity, and will be done.

Mr.. Dickson lived out the allotted
time Of man and spent his days wise
ly and we'll. He was "a years old on
July 5th, 1920, and OF course was on
the down-grade Of life, but to all
outward appearances was we'll pre-
served man, and no one thought that
he was so soon to pass from among
us. His companion, Mrs. Jane Dick
son, has been unwell for the past
year. and his youngest daughter,
Mrs. Aileen Mitchell, Is now quite
sick. The widow and children have
the profound sympathy OF many in
their sore bereavement.
Mr.. Dickson was loyal member
OF the Westminster Methodist
church and at different times held
the office OF steward and other places
Of trust. His father was the late
Simpson Dickson, ruling elder of the
Retreat Presbyterian church, who
died May II, 1878.

ster Route 1; r. C. Dickson, Of
Rogersville, Ma; VIM Dickson, Of
Rockingham, Ga; l.. w. and Mark

Mrs. w. f. Hancock, Of the Union
section.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home Monday afternoon at 3
o'clock by his pastor, Rev. r. l..
Doggett, and his body was laid to
rest in the cemetery OF the First

For Support and Property.

a dispatch from Greensboro, NC,
says:
The Federal Court jury trying the
case OF Mrs Florence Warner, who
sued her husband. Col. Henry B.
Warner. OF Lexington. for support,
has returned verdict after two full
days OF deliberation.
One OF the issues required the
jury to find whether the woman was
guilty or innocent Of the charge Of
immoral relations with Baxter Nc
Crary, negro, and the jury answered
this affirmatively.
The verdict came after the jury
had deliberated for AZ hours and
had cast eleven ballots.
The case followed sensational de-
velopments in Lexington, n c., on
the night Of Aug. 8. 1920, when a
group Of citizens are alleged to have
dragged Baxter McCrary, wealthy
mulatto, from under the home Of II
B. Warner. A few days later Warner
100000, charging him with having
alienated his wife's affections, and at
the same time instituted divorce
proceedings against Mrs. Warner.
The divorce case was thrown out Of
court under technicality.
Mrs. Warner. in November, filed a
suit in Federal Court asking for a
reasonable subsistence from her hus-
band and title TO building in Lex
ington, owned by Mr.. Warner, said
to be worth $4,000. The trial of
the case was begun in Federal Court
here on Feb. Is, and on Feb. cath 1t
went to the jury.
When the news Of the verdict was
conveyed to Mrs. Warner, at local
sanitarlum, she collapsed, according
to attending physicians, and has
been quite Ill since.

"A Lake Shore Auto Graveyard.

Buffalo, N. Y, March THE find
ing Of the wrecks Of seventeen au-
tomobiles at the foot OF a cliff on
the south shore Of Lake Erie, a few
miles west OF Buffalo, has convinced
the police that companies insuring
against theft have been systemati-
cally cheated. Insurance companies,
In self-defense, are carefully exam
lining candidates for insurance of
this kind.
In this lake shore graveyard of
automobiles are makes OF many
sorts. from the plain runabout up
to the pretentious limousine. Marks
On the edge Of the S5-foot cliff and
the condition Of the machines indi-
cate that the automobiles were set
afro before being sent over.
The theory OF the police is that
tho machines were stolen from their
owners. insured against theft under
fictitious names, reported stolen so
that tho insurance could be collect
ed, and then destroyed to prevent
detection for theft.
Police records show that in three
months 484 cars were stolen, and ii
OF these were found burned or de.
stroyed. and 108 are still listed az

STORY OF AN OI.D.TINrE COUPLE
Husbands Venture Into Ocean did
Not Scare Mrs. CustIs.
(Cape Charles Letter in the Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot.)

(Cape Cnarles Letter in the Norfolk
Virginian-Pilot.)
There were many curious people
who dwelt upon the eastern shore
in by-gone days, but one of tho most
eccentric men known among the
eastern shore men was John Cust,s
who inherited Arlington" after
which the Pocomo'se estate was
named. darlington is located inst
below Cape Charles.)
This John Custis married Er.pcas
Parke. daughter of Daniel Parke.
Governor Of tho Leeward Islands
(West Indies), and their son, Dam
lei Parks Custis (earlv Judge Of
Somerset. county, Maryland), was
the first husband Of Martha Dan
bridge, afterward Martha Washing
ton.
John Custis and Frances Parke
lived at Arlington many years. The
marriage seems to have been a very
unhappy one, and many stories Of
their disagreements, which often led
to conflicts, have been handed down
from generation to generation. 1t is
said that for weeks at time the
couple lived together without even
speaking to each other. During
these periods of silence communica-
tions were conveyed by the servants.
AS AN illustration, Mrs. lCustis
would say to the butler, "Pamsky,
ask your master II he will have cof-
fee or tea, and sugar, and cream"
and to the servants question Mr..
Custis would reply, "Tell your mis-
tress that 1 will have coffee as usual,
with no cream"
Following long spell when the
couple had not spoken to each other
MIR. Custis dressed himself with
great deal Of care one day, ordered
his best horse and gig to the door,
and in very polite and dignifled
manner invited Mrs. Gusts to ac-
company him on drive. "Certainly,
sir; l will be delighted; but what
has caused this unusual courtesy?"
she inquired.
Instead OF taking the usual route
along the bay beach the eccentric
Mr.. Custis headed his horse straight
out into the bay, the water deepen
ing very gradually near Arlington.
Where are you going, Mr.. Gus
tis?' asked the wife.
ITO hell, madam" he replied.
Drive on" said she, "any place
Is preferable to this"
Presently the water began to en-
ter the gig.
Again I ask, where are you taxi
ing me to-" said Mrs. Custis.
"And I say again, madam, to
hell, was the brief reply.
Once more then, Mr.. Custis, I
say. drive ON. The prospect is far
brighter than that of a return to
our home"
After proceeding so far out from
shore that the horse was all but
forced to swim, Mr.. Custis turned
the animals head to the shore, say
ing to his wife with much emphasis:
III l were to drive to hell, and the
devil himself came out to meet us,
I do not believe, madam, that you
would be frightened"
quite true, sir" she replied; "I
know you so we'll that would not
be afraid to go where you would
venture"
Following this episode the couple
seem to have lived more happily to-
gether, for deed, to which they
were both parties, was soon drawn
up. in which mutual concessions
were made in the hope that domes-
tic happiness might ensue.
