anomalous position of exporting

Such n condition cannot continue
indefinitely. for II would lead far
away from any true balance Of

weighted, and foreign countries are
having great difficulty In paying
their debts to US.
1t Is obvious, then, that when

established. financially and econom-
ically. they will have 10 pay US with
something more tangible than new

Owens had given him the money
to come after the liquor; that
he WAS instructed to pay it over
to a men he would meet at a GER
tain point in the southeastern
section of this county, without
even counting it and that he
would get 25 gallons OF white
for it. Those with whom
he talked say that the liquor cost
s. a gallon. which would make
500 the Madison moonsh. .ners
received for the goods. Perhin,
admitted that this was about the !
third trip that he had made to
Madison for liquor for Owens.

his brother-in-law, Jack Williams
in Freeman's Hollow, III the
southeastern section of this coun
~ shortly after dusk Friday
night
Relatives of NanSant assert
that the killing of NanSant was
a mistake on the part of the ass
assins. They say that they are
confident that the murderer in
tended to slay Jack Williams. the
brother-inlaw of VanSant. Will
Jams, it seems, had SOME trouble
with a young man IN the neigh
borhood and had driven him away
from his home. They also de
clare the suspect was heard to
make threats that he would get
him."
Both Williams and NanSant
came to Richmond in runabout

but NanSant returned ahead of
him. Williams came to town
with companion. but NanSant
came alone. However. when he
returned NanSant picked up Clii
ford Fuller in town and took him
out with him NanSant and
Williams both wore the same
kind of leather coats. and the
friends OF the murdered man are
confident that NanSant died ii
the place of Williams.

bloodhounds of Capt V. G.. Mul-
likin. of Lexington. resulted i'll
the arrest OF Oscar Rucker, q
young man of the neighborhood,
who was brought 20 town and

found by the officers, was also ar
rested.

sheriff sad nc could smell the
powder smoke still about the
weapon.
Immediately after the Staying

p. Bush and W. \. Johnson. ac-
Companied the hounds to the ,

ed to pick UP trail Immediately. (
They circled about little at the .
side of the road but got a scent
almost at once, and then went to I
the home of Dave Garrett, grand
father of the Rucker hoy. The
youth was not there. The dogs (
were then taken back to the /
place of the killing and from
there went to the home OF Frank
