A FEAST OF LAUGHTER

The army of readers who each Sun
day have laughed at the funny doings
of the characters in the New York
Sunday Americans Comic Supplement
have had only one complaint to make.
Like Oliver Twist, they have been
asking continually for more" And to
satisfy this demand, the Comic Supple
ment has been made double size, be-
ginning on October 18th. The result
is an 8-Page Comic Magazine in colors,
filled with twice as many laughs as
you ever got before.
Besides these mischievous Katzen-
TANNERS, the exploits of Maud and the
Mule and 81, and Happy Hooligan and
the others. Down on the Farm" the
Strategems of Boob McNut and the
inimitable Jiggs, or Bringing Up
Father" four other stars of first mag
nitude in the comic heavens join your
Sunday morning family circle. Bar
ney Google" comes in with his whim-
sicalities: "Toots and Casper" and the
Kid enter with Little Jimmy" and
"Tillie the Toiler."
Here is the greatst comic feast any
newspaper has ever provided to read
ers. Every one of the cartoonists who
create these eight features is the best
in his line.
And this double-size S-Page Comic
Section in colors costs no more to the
great family of the Sunday American
than before. There will be joy in the
hearts of the children of the Sunday
Americans vast audience, as we'll as
in those of the elders, when they turn
to this 8-Page Section next Sunday
The old Comic Section started the day
right in hundreds of thousands oi
homes, with mirth and laughter. And
now the new Comic Section will start
the day doubly right with full feast
Of laughter.

majority of the Confederate veterans
believe that Lincoln was one of the

grand reunion of Confederate veter-
ans at Richmond, charging Lincoln
with responsibility for the Confeder-
ate war. General Pearson's resolu-

WIFE OF RECTOR AND
BROTHER NAMED.
Sworn Statement by Self-Styled Eye
Witness, Declares Them Couple
at Murder Site.

New Brunswick. n. j.. Oct. 26.-
Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall. widow of
the slain rector of the Protestant
Episcopal church Of Saint John the
Evangelist, and her brother. Henry
Stevens, are the man and woman
named in the sworn statement of Mrs.
Jane Gibson, self-styled eye witness
of the double Staying of the Rev.
Edward Wheeler Hall and Mrs.
Eleanor Reinhardt Mills on the night
of September IA. last.
This announcement was not made
by the authorities, but became known
tonight through the issuance Of a
statement by Mrs. Halls attorney,
Timothy N. Pfeiffer, denying Mrs.
Gibson's account and declaring that
neither the rector's widow nor her
brother were on the Phillips farm on
the night of the double Staying.
"Mrs. Gibson's statements are con-
trary to the facts" Mr.. Pfeiffer said.
"Mrs. Hall was in her home all even
ing. Barbara Touch, one Of the
maids, was out that night and Louisa
Geist, the other maid, was on the
back stoop. There was no one else
but a little seven-year-old niece in
the house with Mrs. Hall. But there
may have been one visitor.
Henry Stevens Identification, as
one of the quartette seen on the farm,
is also contrary to fact. Henry was
at Lavallette, n. j., ali that night"
Mrs. Gibson, in her statement, it
is known, declared that she had seen
four persons on the night of the mur-
der under the crab-apple tree where
two days later the bodies of the rec
tor and the choir singer were found.
Mrs. Gibson also said in her state
ment that she heard the man, whom
she alleges she saw fire series Of
shots at the. rector and the choir
singer, addressed by his companion.
The cries of Mrs. Mills, which Mrs.
Gibson declared "still ring in my ears
at night" had hardly echoed, the
woman-farmer said, when the second
woman in the quartette screamed in
terrified tone: "Oh, Henry"

Near Serious Accident Sunday.

What came near being very seri-
Gus accident occurred Sunday after
noon when Mr.. F. L. Johnson, with
his wife and two little children were
driving on the road just beyond Cades
were run into by large, high pow
cred car belonging to Mr.. A. B. Wind
ham of Lamar. The Windham car is
said to have been going at a speed
of sixty miles an hour when it struck
Mr.. Johnson's Ford. Two wheels OF
the Ford were torn off and the oc-
cupants thrown out of the car. Mr..
and Mrs. Johnson received painful
bruises but the children escaped un-
hurt. It seems that the Windham
car did not stop to investigate or
offer assistance but was in some way
identified and Mr.. Johnson was here
Monday in the act of taking out a
warrant for the arrest Of the driver
when Mr.. Windham and his son walk
ed into the sheriff's office. There the
matter was amicably settled with
Mr.. Johnson by Mr.. Windham and his
son and by paying fine of SO to
the sheriff for exceeding the speed
limit the matter was dropped. Mr..
Johnson is employed as section mas
ter on the A. C. L. railroad.

ly surprised, but thanked the guests
most graciously for their thoughtful
ness. There were many attractive
gifts, including some china, which
! showed the love and good wishes OF
the friends of this bride-to-be. In
some way the fact that Miss Tart was
to be married the following Sunday
had reached the ears of Miss Had
dock, who planned the surprise show
er.
After the gifts had been passed and
all had seen them, the hostess dis
tributed Cares cut and decorated to
represent sweet-gum leaves.
these each guest was asked to wr1te

DIRECTORS TOBACCO
ASSOCIATION MEET
FURTHER PAYMENT TO SOUTH
CAROLINA MEMBERS NOT LAT
Err THAN NOVEMBER Is.

Twenty-four of the 25 directors of
the Tobacco Growers Cooperative as
sociation of Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina, attorneys and
officers of the association met in
Richmond, Va, Monday and voted to
proceed with the organization of To-
cal associations in the various coun-
ties of the three states. Reports
showed 700 locals organized with Of
fcers, and others in the process of
organization.
, The sales department made very
full reports which were gratifying to
the directors and showed that sales
are being consummated with practi-
cally all domestic manufacturers, ex-
porters and some dealers, and that a
large percentage of the South Caro-
lima crop delivered to the associa-
tion had been sold and the prices re-
ceived were entirely satisfactory to
the sales committee composed Of G..
A. Norwood, Bright Williams and S.
F. Pearce.
The second distribution in cash TO
South Carolina members will be made
not later than November Is. The
South Carolina directors were in
structed to arrange the details and
method of distribution. All certifi-
Gates of participation are to be pre-
sented at points to be designated and
have Endorsement made upon the
same.
1t was the unanimous judgment of
the directors that the tobacco crop
this year was bringing prices much
in advance of that which the crop
would have brought had this associa-
ton not been organized, and that no
citizen, whether\a member of the aso
sociation or not, could justly say that
the organization of this association
had not already proven its value to
this section of the country.
