YOUNG MAN SLAIN
NEAR GREENVILLE

Greenville, April 4.-John Hembree,
young white man about 25 years of
age, was lot and killed late last
night on the Buncombe road about Is
miles from Greenville, according to
information reaching the city early
this morning. Following an investi-
cation and the finding of the body,
officers arrested Claude McCuen,
young man Of the Poe mill section,
charged with the murder of Hcmbree,
and Palmer Hartin of near Greenvillc
as an accessory.
At a toroners inquest this morn
ing the McCuen was held responsible
for the crime and Hartin was order
ed held as an accessory.
According to information developed
by the Officers and at the inquest the
party of four, including Hcmbree, Nc
Cuen, IIartin and Charles Holcombe,
mill worker, left for the mountains
shortly after the mills closed last
night to secure a supply of whiskcy
Later during the night, Hembree, who
had gotten into the rear seat of the
automobile, insisted upon getting in
the front seat, according to a story
told by HoIcombe, who said that Har-
tin then declared that he had paid for
the car and had a right to say who
rode on the front seat and that there
after four shots were fired by Nc
Cuen and Hembree died instantly. The
party had started quarrelling a little
before this, Holcombe said, when ono
of the party spilled some wine he was
trying to pour into bottle.
Holcombe said he got out of the
car and ran for his life and eventual
ly got in touch with officers. The Off
ccrs went to the scene, but finding no
one went on a short distance further,
meeting McCuen in another car.
He claimed he was en- route to the
city to surrender. Inquiry developed
the fact that Hartin, the other car
and the body Of Hembrcc had disap-
pcared and officers continued the
search for them. After an all-day
search they found the car concealed in
the woods about 27 miles above
Grcenville with Hembree's body in
the rear scat and Hartin guarding the
| machine. The latter surrendered
without resistance.
At the Jail tonight Hartin denied
that the party had gone after liquor,
but said they had three pints. They
had been allowing Hembree to drive
little off and on, he said, but he
finally became too intoxicated and
they refused to permit him to drive,
! and when he insisted further, a quar-
! rel resulted between Hembrcc and
| McCuen, who was driving. Hartin
said he heard Hcmbree threaten Nc
Cucn, saying 81 will cut your damn
head off," although Hartin said he
did not see knife at that time. Nc
Cucn, according to Hartin, reached
over and got a pistol which was lying
on the front sea and fired.
A pocket knife, opened, was found
OH the floor Of lie car.

The Plan Has Worked
For twelve years this plan has
worked satisfactorily. Not one Of
the original stockholders has sold
out or left the farm. And the
president Is the proudest member
Of the firm. The girls are all coll
lege graduates. and each boy ~
recognized In Minnesota as a speci-
alist in his line. During the sum-
mer the girls all stay on the farm.
and through the winter, by agree
ment among themselves, one girl
oversees the farm household and
the Others teach nearby schools.
Each year the children buy a GER
tain amount OF the stock retained
by the father, and in time they will
control all Of IL. One boy has left
the farm, but he still maintains his
interest and as lawyer, he can
advise the corporation.
These two instances are enough
to illustrate my point, that the So
luton 10 keeping boys on the farm,
and thus insuring future farming,
depends on keeping the young farm
ers on the land, as they grow up.
John McCallum can look out over
his broad acres and feel gratified
that his farm, when he leaves il, IL

will go on generation after genera

Austin, Texas, Feb. 25.-ln the
opinion Of w. W. McCrory, member
Of the state highway commission,
the next legislature will determine
whether or not Texas will continue
TO cooperate with the federal gov
eminent in construction and main
tanning a comprehensive system OF
highways in Texas---in fact the out
come Of the road building in this
state hinges upon the action Of the
legislature during the next three
years.
IF Texas is TO continue building
and maintaining roads on a scale
that will in any way allow her TO
keep pace with other progressive
states. she must provide a means Of
raising at least s10.000,0OO revenue
each year" asserted Mr.. McCrory.
A Big Sum
This amount will sound big TO
the average person and no doubt IS
big, but we must realize that Texas
is a big state; that the unimproved
mileage in Texas is far IN excess
Of any other state, and the unde-
veloped resources Of Texas are
greater than any other state"
Mr. McCrory added that in the
event Of the passage by congress OF
the Woodruff bill now pending II
will mean not less than S6,OOO,OOO
a year in federal aid for Texas #
Texas matches il.
There is very little doubt but
that this bill viii pass congress in
the near future" continued Mr..
McCrory. "and if Texas so amends
her laws as to comply with the pro-
visions Of this act, she will receive
about S6,0O0,000 a year for five
years. Otherwise the fund viii re-
vert TO the general fund and be
apportioned to the states that have
complied with these provisions.
Several Ways To Do II
Funds necessary for matching
federal aid can be raised in various
ways. which is one Of the big prob
lens confronting the next legisla-
ture. We can adopt a constitution
al amendment allowing statewide
bond issue, which has been done IN
many Of the most progressive states
OF taxation measures can be enacted
raising such funds as shall be re-
ouired, which is the big problem
for Texas legislators to work out,

the present system be changed 70
