bodily injury, possibly death, will be
visited upon such persons, says the
WaXhaw Enterprise. Several promi-
nent farmers have mentioned this TO
the writer, and one has stated that
three o. four negro farmers have said
in his presence that they don't propose
to try to destroy any Of the insects.
A few Of the more superstitious
negroes have related n sensational,
story of a darkcy in Georgia who was
just in the act Of pulling a wCevil from
q cotton stalk, when he was struck
dead by lightning. 1t is believed that
the most of the colorcd people are too
intelligent to pay any attention to the
sensational stories of this sort that
are told TO them and that the few who
have been frightened by such rumorS
will soon get oyer their fright.

Don't give a story to one paper and
then argue to the other paper that 1t
was not right. not played up" as 1t
should have been and ask the second
paper to give you bigger story and a
more prominent head.
Don't expect the second of two pa
pers to play up n story as big or even
bigger than the first paper that used
it. The reporter considers that the
news value Of n story has been partly
destroyed when a contemporary paper
has already used it.
Don't abuse or criticize the reporters
on one paper to those on another pa
per. Reporters may criticize each
other, but they belong to the same
classification and have many things in
common. They often exchange i'm
pressions and experiences.
Don't try to keep something from
reporter that he has an "inkling" of
and asks you about. Better take him
into your confidence and tell him you
will give him the story later, if it is
one that will wait That's how Sccre-
tary Josephus Daniels came out ahead
OF his villfiers.
Don't take n reporter into your con-
fdence on a story that is not ready
for publication and later give it to a
reporter on another paper. He will
usually respect your confidence, but he
will also demand that you respect his
rights.
Don't misrcpresent an incident in
which somebody else is interested in
your desire to make ii appear mcre
favorable to your side Of it ut the cX
pense' of the other fellow. Yru may
succeed once, but the reporter will
question your vcracity the ncXt time.
Don't make n habit OF selecting n
reporter on which TO vent you" spleen,
especially without just cause. = re-
porter is supposed to relate. facts and
nothing else, but he might let his feel
ings get into a story that woulG have
the effect of getting cven.'
Don't threaten TO sue a paper unless
the reporter makes n rctraction or cor
rectiOn of some statement unless yOu
know what the libel laws are in your
state. The reporter usually knows
what they are and writes, Though un-
consciously, to avoid violating them.
Don't say that n newspaper said
thus and so. A newspaper seldom
says anything, except in the editorial
columns. 1t usually gives the author
Of any statements il publishes or is in
position to do so, if it is demanded.
Don't raise n rucus with reporter
for not getting something in the pa
per until you arc sure that it did not
appear. Tie may quietly show yOu the
item in the paper and you might have

KINNEY WILL CASE ON COURT
Six Indictments Against Marvel and
Conn6way Result of Disclosures


COnn6way Result of Disclosures
Six true bills were returned Monday
afternoon by the Court of General
Sessions at Georgetown, in the Kinney
will case which has caused a sensa-
tion since the opening of the case be-
fore Register of Wills, w. ]. Mustard.
The bills returned were the outcome
of the testimony of Webster A. Mel
cher, a handwriting expert, of Phil
adelphia, which set found that the will
presented by Alvin L. Marvel and
Nathaniel Connoway was not genu-
inc document. The purpOrted will
against which a cavet was filed and
which bore date of December l, 1921,
was witnessed by Nathaniel COnnoway
and Alvin l.. Marvel, both of Seaford.
The will admitted to probate was
drawn on December 2, 1915 and was
witnessed by w. l.. Wallace and A. H.
Mather, of Seaford. On June IA,
Register of Wills, William J. Mustard
handed down his decision regarding
the two wills and the first was adj
mitted to probate. In his opinion, the
register expressed the opinion, from
testimony, that the signatures of
Connoway and Marvel were not affixed
to the attestation clauses at the re-
quest of Kinney and in his presence,
and neither at the time sworn to by
them. The register further set out
in his opinion his belief that the sig
nature of Kinney to the last purported
will was forgery. The estate in
volved $4,000. Nathaniel Connoway
one of the alleged witnesses to the
Kinney will, was indicted on a charge
of forgery of the will. Another indict-
ment alleges that he perjured himself
at the time of the filing of the pur-
ported will before the register. Al
vim L. Marvel and Connoway were in
dicted on charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud the Kinney estate between No
