Several Interesting Questions
Brought Out in the Reading

About the only feature Of interest in |
toda VS. abbreviated session in the Local
market was the early advance of 1l2 |

was Of a rather pcrfunctory character |

was up a point at 121, or within II
Of the higher record.
Some interest was attached to the
initial dealings in the North American
Steel stock at 40 and 49I. This COM
pany was organized to take over the
Mdvae and Republic Iron and Steel
properties in the new merger. The
utility group remained firm, with frac.
tional improvement. Philadelphia Eloc-
trio preferred sold at 30, equal to the
high price of the week Pennsylvania
Railroad shaded under AZ, but recovered
the loss.
Several events Of the week. while not
having any particular direct bearing on
the local stocks, furnished considerable
food for thought in financial circles
| Uppermost in point Of discussion was
Court in the so called Reading case, es-
| tablishing in part the status Of the
common and preferred stockholders in
| the segregation of the coal lands and
other properties of the company. Read
ing always has been prime speculative
favorite with Philadelphians, and there
is possibly a larger investment interest
| in the securities of the "hOlding COM
pany" and underlying properties than
in any other part of the country. 1t
has always been looked upon as dis
tinct Philadelphia project, and, despite
the stormy career of the company in its
early history. Philadelphians always
pinned great faith in the property. The
great value which was foreseen by
pioneer builders has been more than
realized and left undisturbed by the
Government there Is no doubt the COM
represent one of the richest of the coun-
try's transportation enterprises.
The segregation ordered by the Gov
ernment has opened several very inter-
esting questions which are still to be
answered. One of these is the question
of the value of a mortgage agreement.
According to the ruling of the highest
court of the land, there must be q di-
vision of the existing mortgage. All
along the question had been made as to
bow any segregation of the properties
could be attained without first retiring
the general mortgage 4 per cent bonds

THREE NEGROES WE'RE BURNED
At Stake In Texas Last Saturday,
Murder and Assault Charged.

Kirwin, Texas, May 6.-Three ne
groes were burned to death at the
same stake here at o'clock this
morning by a mob Of five hundred
men, following their alleged implica-
ton in the criminal assault and MUIR
der Of 17-year-old white girl, whose
niutilated body was found near here
Thursday night.
Snap" Curry, the first negro to
be burned, was taken from the GUS
tody Of Freestone county officers
early last night as he was being con-
veyed from Wortham to some point
I.west. is alleged that he confessed
llltosth hetu,obs tha be had assa ulted and
murdered the girl, and that III his
confession he implicated the two
other negroes, J. II. Varney and Nose
Jones.
The mob divested the sheriff Of his
Keys to the Freestone county Jail,
where Jones and Varney were being
held as suspects. Hurrying to the
Jail, the mob unlocked the doors and
took the two negroes in charge. All
three negroes were then rushed to
Kirvin, the home of the dead girl
and an iron stake was driven into
the ground on small square in the
rear Of the town. Wood was accu-
mulated and saturated with OIL
Curry was burned, then Varney,
then Jones. There was some delay IN
burning the last two, inasmuch as
they steadfastly maintained their inA
nocense. Third degree methods fail
ed to bring confessions from them,
and they were finally cremated on
tie strength Of Curry's testimony.
After the third negro had been burn
ed to a crisp, all three bodies were
piled together and mass Of fuel and
oil flung over them. This was ig-
nited, the flames soaring 25 or 80
feet in the air. Early to-day the
flames were still burning fiercely.
The mob rapidly dispersed, and as
day dawned there were only few
persons remaining to witness the af-
termath Of the triple cremation.

Timo for Vclvcts and .Soys.

The time is now here for obtain
ing soy and velvet bean seed for
planting. Each one Of these rather
new crops has place on the farm.
No corn field should DO without it's
velvet beans. AS feed and fertilizer
plant, probably, velvet beans have no
equal. The shortest road to fertile
soils lies IN the velvet bean route.
which gives you a nitrogen factory
on your farm.
Soy beans have their own particu-
lar place on the farm. especially in
the Piedmont district. They may be
sown earlier than cowpeas, accord
ing to information contained in Ex-
tension Circular 1877 Of the North
Carolina Extension Service, Raleigh,
N. G.
because Of the erect habit Of its
growth, the soy bean is more desir-
able for hay, especially on rich soils,
than either peas or velvet beans. The
seed Of the soy bean are very numer-
Gus and are easily harvested with a
special harvester drawn by two
horses down the rows. On account
Of this fact the soy bean has become
a source OF money to the North Car
olina farmer.
The mammoth yellow variety Is
desirable for seed production, while
the Otto-tan is fine for hay produc-

Hanging at Hartwell, Ga.

Will Ravenel, 'colored, 81 years of
age, an Anderson county IS. c. ne
Gro, was hanged at Hartwell, Ca,
last Friday. The trap was sprung at
11.35 a. m., and at 12 o'clock life
was extinct. The negro, it Is said,
never knew a pain nor moved a mus
Gle, the shock Of the drop Of some
Is feet producing a broken neck and
almost instant death, though the
beat of the pulse was family obscrv-
able until the noon hour.
Ravenel was convicted at a special
term OF court for Hart county short
ly after a horrible crime had been
committed, the victim being an aged
white lady, sick in bed at the time
the crime was committed. Ravenel
had lived in Georgia for number
Of years, but was said to have been
originally an Anderson county me-
gro. The crime was committed late
last year, occurring on a Thursday,
and the negro was placed under ar
rest the following Saturday, henti-
fed by his victim, tried and sentenc.
cd to be hanged. Every mandate Of
the law was followed out in the case
and the negro legally paid the PEN
atty for his crime.

Marketing Campaign Successful.

At the end Of the campaign for CO.
operative marketing. May 1st, Oco-
nee showed a total Of 23S signers,
representing 4,467 bales. While this
did not get the quota Of 5000 bales
assigned to Oconee, 1t came very near
the mark. Pickens, Greenville and a
large number Of other counties ex-
ceeded their quotas, so that the State
got a total sign-up Of approximately
425,000 bales, thus making the con-
tracts effective.
1t is no reflection on the workers
in the county that Oconec failed to
get her quota, for numbers Of citi-
