apparently well, save for the marks
that 1t was seen he must carry thru
life. He returned home and engaged

But he was not well, and his death

Officer Tom Reeves Shot by
Negro

This county was struck with horror a
week ago when it was learned that
Thursday of last week about noon
Deputy Sheriff Tom Reeves Of Willis
ton had been shot by Manuel Moore a
negro, while the officer was reading a
warrant to the negro for his arrest.
Moore had forged check the Satur-
day before and cashed it and warrant
for his arrest was worn out and given
the officer for sarvice. Mr.. Reeves
went to the negro's home in the
western part of the fourteenth district
and found the negro in the woods near
his house. He told the negro he had
the warrant for his arrest and the ne.
gro declaring he would not be arrested
switched out his pistol and began
shooting, Mr.. Reeves receiving two
wounds in the left hand, two in the
abdomen and one in the thigh.
After emptying his pistol the negro
ran and Reeves, badly wounded, drew
his pistol and shot until empty, but his
shots going wild of their mark. Moore
realizing Reeves pistol was empty,
turned and came back to his victim
and cursed and abused him, threaten.
ing tonish him up" and ordering
him to get in his car and drive off
Reeves went to WlIiston and tele-
phoned this city of the affair. Quickly
Olans were made and he was brought
to Somerville aud placed on the N. C.
& st, L, train at 2 p. m, and carried to
st. Joseph hospital in Memphis where
he was operated on. 1t was first
thought that his wounds would surely
prove fatal, but he rallied and now is
apparently in fair way to recover.
Several hundred men soon gathered
around the scene of the shooting, but
Moore had fled and has not yet been
caught. Gov. Taylor was communicat-
ed with and offered $500 reward for
the arrest of the negro, this sum being
all the Governor is allow ID TO offer for
the arrest of any criminal. Citizens of
the county have raised 5000 to add to
that offered by Gov. Taylor. making q
cash Reward of $500 that is awaiting
the person who arrests the negro and
turns him over to the Sheriff.
II is thought by officers that Moore
has probably left the county and gone
to some northern city where be hopes
to be safe from Tennessee laws and Of
ficers He has lived in st. Louis,
Kansas City and Chicago, tho native
of this county, ard is known to have
relatives in the latter city.
Feeling ran very high here against
the negro who is considered generally
by those who know him as being bad
character.
Officers have followed up several
clues for the arrest of Moore but up to
Thursday morning he has not been sp-
pretended.

County Court Meets

The County Court for Fayette county
met in regular quarterly session last
Tuesday with every member except
two present.
The chairman's report showed the
county finances in a rather bad way.
but no worse than the people knew they
we've before the court met, because for
months past it has peen difficult to get
warrants cashed and every county fund
was without money, There are many
thousand dollars of outstanding war
rants. held mostly by the banks, tho
many warrants are still in the hands Of
those who have done work for the coun-
ty. The recent legislative act putting
off payment of taxes has served to az
gravate this condition and has delayed
the pay ments to the Trustee, Tax pay.
ments have been light and there now
remains less than month for'pavments
to be completed before taxes become
delinquent.
The court consumed most of the
morning on miscellaneous items, one of
the most important of which was dis
cussion of $50, 900 bond issue to raise
money to pay up all outstanding war
rantsof the county and furnish funds
to run the county's business Oh cash
basis the remainder .of the year. For
the past four. or.five years the couEty
has annually run out of money and it
has been necessary to arrange tenn
porary credits. and there has been more
or less trouble gettinglwarrants cashed
This condition was pretty 'Horoly dis
cussed by the chairman and members Of
the court and resolution was adopted
by unanimous vote authorizing the is
suance Of the $4,000 in bonds, An act
authorizing this issue was recently
passed by the legislature, This will
place the county in better condition
financially than it has been for several
years.
An appropriation of 81, 500 was made
for the purpose of nuying road working
tools, $l00 70 each district.
Members of the court frequently ap-
pealed to fellow members to exercise
the closest economy in appropriations,
but when voting time came each time
it was oftenest that the other fellows
appropriation was the one to be cut.
The total appropriations as kept BY one
of the members of the court during the
day will run about $4,000, while sever
al of the larger requests for money
were cut heavily by the court.
Appropriation for, continueing the
Farm Demonstration agent was turned
down by vote OF lS to ID. and this
action will deprive the county of the
services of the agent for the future,
after having county agent for ten
years. A committee from the County
Council OF Agriculture was present and
asked to make the appropriation.
The day was by 40 means as stormy
as we have seen in the court, tho II
was necessary several times for the
Chairman to rule out Of order requests
made in one or another irregular way.
At the close Of the session the resig-
nation of r. B. Young as a member of
the court from the fourth district was
read and accepted. HE resignation is
distinctive loss to the county aDuring
his membership of the body he has been
one of i.s best and most progressive
members, broad-miuded and reasoning,
and much of the most progressive work
done by the court has been due to his
forethought and his influence.

Garden Notes

It is mighty nearly like starting a
garden over following last week. S
freeze, so far as the tender vegetables
are concerned. They were most all
k lied and this time the seed and labor on
them were about lost. But we will
plant early every time, hoping that we
may save them, and then we will be
that far ahead.
Our egg plants are large plenty to
be transplanted but we will wait on
them and the sweet peppers till the
middle or last of April,
We are putting out a new lot OF early
tomato plants following those that
froze last week. A peculiar thing 10
cur garden was that about one fourth
of the tomato plants we had set out
lived thru the freeze and are growing
nicely, and yet tits very tender plant.
The corn bitten down by the freeze
is coming out with these warm days
and was ot'hurt.
Are you planting thesuccession crops
of English peas? We have two already
and are planting the third this week.
IL one wants beets quicker than
growing them from seed plants set out
live as we'll as most any thing we
transplant.
A local gardener asked few days
ago if there was danger of getting bis
garden too heavily manured with four
loads on a half acre. Ten times that
much would not hurt, but rather would
produce more abundantly.
Strawberries in this section were not
seriously hurt from the recent freeze
and promise is for good crop,
|. The old advice is to dig out holes two
feet square and fill with manure Tor
each hill as running beans and then set
mole in the middle of this and plant the
beans around it. There is no doubt a.
bout this plan producing BEANS lots OF
them, but we plant most OF our rnnine
beans with corn for them to run on and
get all the beans we need without the
other trouble.
Burpee's Green pod bunch beans aho
Kentucky Wonder pole beans are our
fayorities aud can hardly be beaten.
The average gardener can very vel
let the other fellow try the vegetsoie
novelties, while be sticks to the Ole
proven varieties. The proven ones are
sure to make a good crop, the novel
ties are uncertain.
