Smut tax on wheat on most farms would
make, if prevented. a very satisfactory profit.
There are many ways to treat smut with formal
dehyde and while there is probably not a farmer
in the spring wheat belt who does not know and
realize the advantage of smut free wheat, yet it is
a fact that a great proportion of farmers neglect
TO treat their wheat for smut entirely or do so
only occasionally after an unusually bad smut
year.
Every good farmer knows how to treat his seed
with formaldehyde although very few take thi. precau.
ton every year. The increase from formaldehyde tr.at.d
seed is often as much as four bushels per acre owing, no
doubt. to the fact that the seed carries other disease
parasites besides smut. No man can afford to tax. H.
chance because the treatment is both cheap and easy.
There are a great many reasons why seed wheat
may. not terminate; either from being bin burnt. wet.
moldy. etc. 1t Is a very easy matter to count one hun
dred seeds from various parts of your seed stock and
test them in a wet blotting paper in a plate or saucer.
If you don't test for termination. you may .scri6cs al
your crop.

AGRICULTURAL CREDITS.
Farm Bloc viii Press For Financial
Relief.

RelleI.
Favorable action at the earliest op-
portunity is to be sought by the farm
bloc on legislation for more flexible
rural credits, as proposed in new bills
pending in senate and house.
The Norris bill for creating the
farmers and consumers financing cor
poration, introduced in the senate We'd
nesday, was laid before the house
Thursday by Representative Sinclair
(Rep., n. d. who announced that a
hard fight would be made for it and
that the special interests had been
helped enough.
Probably 20 per cent. OF the small
grain farmers are facing bankruptcy

time congress has been called upon to
assist business interests and has pretty
generally responded. The railroads
have been stabilized by the passage Of
the Transportation Act and are liccns-
ed to charge q rate that will yield 4

Manufacturers have been 'stabiliz-

much TO put farming back on a paying

England's Bottomless Pit.-Far from

stone wall, and a projecting ledge at

was hauled up again he was q raving

centuries the place was regarded with

CHANGES Story.

But on cross examination the killer
changed his story. He described in de-
tail to Solicitor Spears the shooting of
his several victims. He even described
in detail the shooting of Fred Taylor,
the sixth Of his victims after he had
stopped to get water when he had fin-
ished with five. He insisted, however
that all of the Taylors were armed, al
though he admitted that none of them
had attempted to shoot him.
Two Witnesses Saturday.
Two witnesses were heard Saturday
morning and the testimony of each was
brief. One was introduced by the de-
fense and the other by the state. Mrs.
Fannie Bracket, tcstifying for the ae-
fense, said she had known FAIRIES all Of
her life. She told of hearing n quarrel
between Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. FAIRIES
about ten days before the killings.
Mrs. FAIRIES on that occasion said some
thing to Mrs. Taylor and then left aft
er saying, Go back into your house

FAIRIES Tells His Story.

William C.. FAIRIES was the final wit
ness to testify in his own behalf on
Friday afternoon, court adjourning an
hour earlier than usual, after he had
told his story. He admitted killing the
boy, Newton Taylor, and he said that
he killed him and the other three vic
tins because all Of the Taylors were
armed; and in defense of his own life.
He told his story in calm manner.
Occasionally he requested that ques-
tions put to him be repeated IF l
had been in possession of my senses /
would not have done it for the word"
he said. 81 thought my little boy had
been seriously hurt and the thought
ran me crazy"
He said that he had gone to Mayor
Isaac j. Campbell and to Policeman
John Jackson with his complaints
against the Taylors and they had done
nothing to help him while things kept
getting worse"
On the day of the shooting, he said,
the Taylor children had thrown out a
bucket Of water he had drawn fronrthe
well. On the morning of the shooting
he had seen Claud Johnson and New
ton Taylor in the nearby barn with a
shot gun and a rifle and short time
previously he said that Mr. Taylor had
stood on his porch and threatened to
put a ball through him and his wife.
At that time, he swore, Mrs. Taylor
was armed with two blue steel pistols,
one in each hand.
"Just before the shooting one Of my
boys came to me and told me that
Johnny had been hit with rock by
Newt Taylor. Then 1 asked Newt what
he meant by it. I saw Mrs. Taylor
peeping through the vines in her house.
| heard Claud Johnson say Shoot and
I thought if there was any shooting to
be done might as we'll do it. I don't
remember much what happened after
| the first shot"

FAIRIES SENTENCED TO CHAIR
Continued From Page One.)

FAIRIES had said that despite the fact
he had reported the matter to the town
authorities they had done nothing.
"Faries told me-" said DR.. McGill, that
If the authorities did nothing then he
was going to do it."
. Little Girl Tells Story.
Viola Deas, 14-year- r-old girl, testified
that she had the 4-year-old baby OF
Mrs. Tom Perry on her lap in the Per-
ry home when she saw William FAIRIES
shoot Newton Taylor. At that time
the Taylor boy was doing nothing, she
testified. She saw no more shooting
until she saw FAIRIES shoot Fred Tay-
lor On cross examination she said
that she saw in the Taylor home at the
time of the shooting, Mrs. Taylor,
Misses Dolly and Leila Taylor. She de-
MED she heard Claud Johnson, one OF
the four victims, use a vile epithet aft
er Newton Taylor had been shot and
say: LET me get hold of the gum"
She heard some one in the Taylor
house make such remark but didn't
know who said it.
Miss Gertrude Taylor testified that
she heard two shots before she was
shot and slightly wounded. She was
canning fruit at the time of the trag-
edy. She saw her brother Newton fall
wounded and saw FAIRIES shoot her. She
denied that there were any blue steel
pistols among members of her family.
Magistrate Tells Story.
r. f. Love, magistrate for Kings
Mountain township, testified that Fa-
ries had come to him a short time be-
fore the tragedy, complaining about
the alleged conduct of the Taylor fam
lily. FAIRIES had complained that he
saw some of the Taylors sitting on the
Taylor porch cleaning blue steel pis-
tol for him. Magistrate Love testified
further that FAIRIES could furnish no
evidence of threats against his life
and that he had therefore refused to
place any Of the Taylor family under
peace bond. Before leaving, the wit
ness said, that FAIRIES had remarked:
"If there is no law for it I'll make one
and you need not be surprised at any
thing you hear Of me doing"
Magistrate Love identified several
buckshot taken from the door of the
Taylor residence and also two shells
loaded with buckshot which he had
taken from FAIRIES double-barreled
gun, the shells and shot being offered
in evidence.

Defense Witnesses.

Mrs. William c. FAIRIES, wife Of the
accused man, was the first witness for
her husband. She testified that about
a week before the killing she had seen
Newton Taylor with a small rife IN his
hands. After a policeman had visited
the Taylor home at the request Of Fa-
ries, she said that Mrs. Taylor had call
ed to her and dared her to come out,
saying she would shoot IL did and
that she would put ball through Mr..
FAIRIES if he opened his mouth. On
cross examination she admitted she did
not go to the door and therefore she
could not say whether Mrs. Taylor was
armed Or not. She admitted further
that she did not know the exact nature
of the children's quarrel.
