stranger in Monroe the other day.
He said an Iredell county man met
his tenant in Winston Salem for the
purpose of disposing of their joint
crop OF tobacco. The load, all of the
same grade and variety, was placed
in two piles on the warehouse floor. /
A bid of 26 cents was offered for the
first pile and 80 cents for the second. /
Both were refused. At the next sale,
SO cents was offered for the first pile
and II cents for the second. Dis
gusted, landlord and tenant decided
to take their tobacco home. The next
week the whole lot sold on the floor
Of a Statesville warehouse for 43

A black snake on her six-months-
old baby's breast, mouth to mouth,
was the sight that greeted the wife
Of Pesse McEachern, colored, on a
bed in her home near Fairmont. The
woman snatched her baby out of
harms way, rushed it from the home
and returned to kill the snake but his
showed fight, whereupon
the frightened woman fled to the
home of John Baker, colored, nearby.
John armed himself with his gun and
sailed forth to do battle, but when he
arrived on the scene the snake was
disappearing into hole in rotten
sill. Jesse and his wife moved out
1t once and even in the brief space of
line since then it is said that the
)aby has shown marked improvement
md the theory is that the snake had
)een appropriating unto himself the
milk the baby imbibed, dipping into {
,aby's stomach by way of its mouth, '
nut the baby had its fingers in its |
mouth, hence the road to the baby's ,
tomach was blocked for the time.
