the amount they claimed was incor'

bill from H. d. Baldwin, administra'
tor of the estate of w. NJ. Henderson,
deceased, alleging that owed him,
as administrator, S945.00 on fertilizer
account. This indebtedness | also

fully paid and should have been
cancelled on Mr.. Henderson's books.

statement rendered me by Mr.. Bald

SECOND: That as soon as this
action was instituted in New Han
over county notice was served on
the Acme Manufacturing Company
and request made of the Judge of
tie Superior Court for the removal
of this action to Richmond county
for trial; that | filed an affidavit in
which / set out that it would be
necessary for me to have a large
number of witnesses, among them
being Mr.. ]. r. Bennett, President
of the Bennett Bank & Trust Com
pany, Mr.. B. B. Farlow and Mr..
Prince O'Brien, both of the Bank OF
Ellerbe, Mr.. A. T. White, merchant
in the town of Ellerbe, and a num-
Der of other parties, and that to
carry them to Wilmington to testify
in this case would be too large an
expense for me to bear; that | was
poor widow and dependent upon
my own efforts and work to support
myself and children. | further set
out that to take these gentlemen
from their business would necessi-
tate some of them closing their Of
fees and stores, that it would be a
great hardship on them to be away
for the necessary time in which to
have this case tried. | further set
out that | owed the Acme Manufac-
turing Company nothing and that |
owed the estate of w. NJ Hender-
son nothing, and that all of these
matters should be tried here in
Richmond county where the trans
actions arose and where all of the
parties with the exception of the
Acme Manufacturing Company live;
that the interests of justice would
be met and a fair trial for all par
ties could be secured. In addition
ITO, my affidavit my attorneys filed
affidavits from Messrs. ]. r. Ben
nett, B. b. Farlow, Prince OBrien,
J.. F. Stafford and number of
others, setting out that the facts
contained in my affidavit were
known to them and Wee true, that
the expense for me to go to Will
mington with my counsel and wit
nesses would be more than | could
bear and that fair trial could be
had in Richmond county and that
the ends of justice would be met.
THIRD: That my attorneys went
to Wilmington to argue the removal
of this case, and upon their return
informed me that certain affidavits
by residents of Richmond county,
North Carolina, had been filed, in
which they stated that the ends OF
Justice would not be met by the
removal of this case for trial to
Richmond county and that a fair
trial could not be had; that upon
these affidavits the Court refused
to remove this case for trial in
Richmond county, and the case is
now pending in the Superior Court
of New Hanover county.

In compliance with your request
to state the facts I know in regard
to the filing of the H. d. Baldwin
Affidavit in the Superior Court at
Wilmington | beg to state the fol,
lowing:
| was present in Court at Will
mington when the attorney repre-
senting the Acme Manufacturing
Company presented and read the
affidavit of H. ID. Baldwin in oppo-
sition to a removal of the case
against Mrs. Laura Mills to Rich
mond county, and upon the same
being read, the Judge remarked that
as the affidavit was made by a
former sheriff of the county he ought
to know the people and he, the
Judge, would have to take note of
thc said affidavit to the effect that
a fair trial could not be had in
Richmond county and on that nc
count would not remove the case
to Richmond county for hearing.

Affidavit of H. d. Baldwin.
North Carolina, New Hanover Cou

North Carolina, New Hanover Coun,
ty. In the Superior Court.
Acme Manufacturing Company,
Plaintiff, VS.. Laura Mills, Defend
ant.
Fl. d. Baldwin, being duly sworn,
says:
1. That he is Administrator of the
estate of w. N. Henderson, deceas-
ed, and that no indebtedness for
the purchase of fertilizers by Mrs.
Laura Mills ever came into his po-
session as such Administrator; nor
has he ever endeavored to collect
any such debt from her.
2. That any and all statements
to the effect that he, as Administra-
tor of the said w. M. Henderson,
deceased, or otherwise, ever held
said debt for collection, or either
turned over, or received same from
the Acme Manufacturing Company,
have no foundation in fact.
3. That affiant is familiar with
the matter in controversy, and that
the only contention is, as he is adj
vised and believes, as to whether
or not a payment of such debt by the
defendant to the Bank of Ellerbe
would operate as discharge of her
liability to plaintiff.
4. That plaintiff now has num-
Der of claims against citizens of
Richmond County, some of which
have been reduced to judgment;
others are in process of settlement;
extensions have been given in some
instances; there are others in Bank
ruptcy Court, and still others
which are being contested in the
State Court.
5. That affiant was for number
of years Sheriff of Richmond county;
is well acquainted with its people,
and does not believe that the ends
of justice would be met by the re-
moval of this cause to Richmond

 POOLING SYSTEM
Retail Distribution of Products to Be Made From Gen.
 traI Depot

One hundred and nine Jefferson cows. have completed plans for per- feeting the sale, of their dairy prod ucts in Birmingham through a pool ing system, under which all the concentrated at one depot and retail distribution will be made from that depot.
 The dairymen will thereafter be to the care of their herds and farms after making delivery of product at the central depot
 The dairymen who have signed up represent 90 per cent of those selling milk in the city. On completion of plans they will retire from the ped ding business and their stock and teams used for that purpose may be devoted to others.
 After the Birmingham system has been gotten well under way 1t Is proposed to organize the western end Ol iHt COuHIy Wlln m Bessemer in the same way.
 The products distributed through the central agency will be classified. standardized and guaranteed. The buyer will know exactly what he is getting. A lot of time will be saved and the economies established by eliminating duplication of effort will be realized in superior milk.
 First act of the united dairymen will be to send committee to Nash vile and New Orleans. where the central distributing system prevails. and learn how it is operated there. The next step will be to secure the most competent manager, one recom- mended and approved by the highest federal dairying authorities.
 The following have been elected board of directors of the pooling as- scciation; S. l.. Brewster, l.. w Burt, D. ". little, F. G. Jacks, W. W. Roan, W. S. Mayhew, s. T. Thompson. ster chairman, MT. Nix vice chairman Acton. The board elected Mr. Brew ster chairman, MT. Nix vice chirman and Mir. little secretary.
 The pooling system is now on its feet, declared J. l.. Lilies, county agent. The dairymen are enthusi- astic and determined to put it through and it is believed that 1t will soon be in working order. The result 1t Is confidently expected will be more and better milk for BIr- mingham and a larger and more rrosperous dairying industry in Jef- ferson co1nty.
 At the meeting of the dairymen held yesterday a vote of thanks was extended the newspapers of Birmiug- ham for the splendid help gen. erously given to this movement"

Cunning little "Mannequins"-all the way from tiny tots to little misses with golden curls and blue eyes, manly little boys and stalwart youngsters, are to be the "head- liners" in the Juvenile Fashion Re- vue" which will be presented for the delectation of the public next Sat urday afternoon in the ballroom of the Tutwiler.
 Isn't that something to look for ward to with great pleasure?
 They say "all the world loves a lover," but the aphorism can easily be paraphrased into "all the world loves children and with this idea in mind charming Mrs. Joe Loveman has centered her attention upon this delightful form of entertainment, which will enlist the talents and beauty and manliness of 15 of the cutest, cunningest, charmingest, cleverest "Kiddies" in town.
 How It Happened
 When I was talking to Mrs. Love- man yesterday and asking her how she happened to Init" upon such a popular idea for the entertainment she said. in her graceful way: My band of the chapter of the sisterhood of Temple Emanu-Ei had to raise our quota for the benefit of the temple and for months have worried over just how it. could be done.
 Tt isn't easy to devise an original entertainment because there are so many givel for churches and socie- ties and that sort of thing and so it just occurred to me that if little group of children. could be corraled everybody would be interested and so we are watching with great interest the result next Saturday afternoon when the test will be made.
 "The chapter of the sisterhood of Temple Emanu-El numbers eight bands and we drew our members for each band, thus taking chances on our personnel. There are 30 members to each band and our re- spective quotas are named for each band and the money all goes into the temple fund.
 Just "Kiddies"
 "The entertainment next Saturday afternoon will be given by the kid dies with the exception of a musi- cal number by Mrs. Rosenfeld. vio- linist, accompanied by Miss Leta Beitman at the plano.
 "One of the features which we regard as very attractive, will be a reading by Adria Speilberger, who has inherited much of the delightful talent that made her aunt. Sadie Speilberger. such a popular reader
 Little Amy Fox is another tall ented child whose dances and songs are always so clever and so much appreciated and she will give a number.

 Without the aid and splendid CO., operation of the firm of Loveman. Joseph & Loeb, we couldn't have dreamed of the juvenile fashion re- vue.
