The local wholesale poultry dealers
have consented to pay an unusually
good price for poultry next Saturday
when the Golden Rule Sale of the To-
cal Advertising Club of the retail mer-
chants of the city is being pulled off.
The prices offered, for fryers 40c and
hens Zoe per lb, is the highest paid
this season and should attract poultry
from every farm. These monthly sale
days, if connected with the purchase
of some of the farmers surplus COM
modities will take on new life and Gre
ate greater interest for both the buy
er and seller.
The exceptional fine bargains offer
ed by the local merchants cooperating
with the Advertising Club should get
for them liberal patronage on next
Saturday, May 10th, which has been
selected for the summer sales to en-
able the farmers to participate in
these Bargain Sales Days, without
losing an extra day from their farm
work. No doubt this concession by

ed by the trading public.

State Game Warden, more recently

Elders of Reidsville, ard Will Green

Gubernatorial honors, gainst Govern
or Clifford Walker. The latter does
not need to be worried of the out
come.
Neither of the previously mention
ed candidates caused any particular
enthusiasm among the voters of the
State, and it is not likely that Col
Mercer's candidacy will be received
with any more. Mr.. Mercer has a
great many personal admirers in
many parts of the state, who may sup
port him, but we predict that if he
stays in the race to the finish, but
few counties will be found in the
Mercer column, when the votes are
counted.

By Carolina Jury

ALLENDALE. S. c.. July r.
(By the Associated Press,)-Wilson
G. Harvey, former governor of
South Carolina and president of the
Etenrprise bank of Charleston, was
acquitted late today in the circuit
court here, of charges of violating
the state banking law in connection
with the failure of the bank
1t was charged specifically that
Mr.. Harvey received deposits after
he knew his bank was insolvent
The jury took the case at 5 o'clock
and returned with a verdict twenty
minutes later.
The verdict was greeted with ap-
plause from spectators.
Judge j. Henry Johnson, presid-
ing, raped vigorously for order
and stated, were it not for the fact
that Allendale is young county he
would arraign the spectators for
contempt of court"
This was the second trial Of the
former governor, the fist being
held in Charleston, which resulted
in a mistrial. A change of venue
was obtained because of alleged
public sentiment against the defend
ant in Charleston.
Two days were consumed in the
Allendale trial. The defense intro
duced no witness, nor did it place
the defendant on the stand. 1t
rested, with the state, claiming the
state had not proved its case beyond
reasonable doubt
