Two Cotton Thieves
Landed in County Jail
Stole Staple From Front Porches OF
Negro Farmers Near Herod.

Friday morning Henry Blake, ne
gro cropper on the farm OF Rogers
LANG, reported the theft of some cot
ton from the front porch of his home
and about the same time Tom Gull
wares, a cropper of the same color on
the farm of c. E. Lockett, reported
the loss of cotton from his premises.
County Policeman Jennings, taking
notice OF the fact that the two farms
were near each other and that the cot
ten disappeared about the same time in
the same manner, came to the con-
clusion that the theft had been COM
mitted by the same person or persons.
AS the result of his investigation
Chappell Leverette and>IIenry Pierce,
who live on Paul Harris farm, are IN
Jail charged with the crimes.
Officer Jennings, accompanied by
Rogers LANG and NJ. D, LANG, went
to the home OF John Hill another ne
gro who lives i'll the same vicinity,
and found the stolen cotton. They
were also given clue as to where
they might find the thieves, and soon
had them under arrest.
This is Leverette's second time III
the county jail in few months. Some
time ago he was convicted OF stealing
oil from the Standard Oil Company
and his fine was paid by Mr.. Harris,
who wanted him to work on his farm

MISTAKE OF SELLING
TO A MINOR.

Once. again Nose Flewellen is sit
ting on the inside looking at the out

up" by young man yet in his teens,

over to the revenue man, vino brought
it to Dawson and delivered it to Sher-
if Woods and Policeman Jennings,
who, accompanied by Cliff Evarts,
went to arrest the illicit manu-
facturer They found Flewellen at
home, and in attempting to vacate the
locality he eased into the grasp OF
Officer Jennings. While the officers
were engaged in the capture OF Flew
ellen they saw his wife pouring out
whisky in the back yard Two barrels
of scuppernong mash, with the eXcep-
ton OF a small amount retained for
evidence, were also destroyed by the
sheriff and his deputies

western section of the county, and is
considered a slick" individual. Sew
eral times before suspicion befell his
path and he was believed to be manu-
featuring and selling whisky, but he
always managed to escape conviction.

Great Damage by Rain Is
Reported All Over County
Cotton Is Sprouting and Peanuts Are
Rotting in the Fields.

The rains of the past ten days have
done thousands of dollars damage on
the farms of Terrell county.
Open cotton has been beaten from
the stalks, and many farmers report
that it is sprouting on the ground.
The peanuts have also been greatly
damaged. This crop had been very
promising financially to the farmers,
but with the nuts rotting in tie ground
little hope is entertained for profitable
sales.

VOU wouldn't think of buying house
i without first knowing how it is built and
the quality of materials used. In selecting
piece of furniture you are sure to find out
whether it is solid wood or veneer.
Yet many people who exercise care in most
purchases buy automobiles without even lift
ing the hood or knowing about the hidden
qualities of body and chassis construction that
really determine ones satisfaction with
closed car.
We want you to know about the unseen
qualities of the new Studebaker Standard Six
Sedan.
Down underneath its superb body finish is
sturdy framework of carefully selected ash,
glued together and fastened in place by screws
mot nailed. Ash is scarce and expensive, but
Studebaker uses it because it best combines
proper weight and strength.
Upholstery is genuine mohair OF high quality.
Various grades of mohair look much alike
the big difference is in the quality.
Beneath this mohair covering are many
nests Of cushion springs, padded with heavy

burlap, upholstery cotton and curled hair.
Almost any seems comfortable on the
showroom floor, but it's quality such as this
that makes the Studebaker Standard Six remain
comfortable after years of service.
The same standards of excellence are main
tanned throughout the body and chassis. In
the engine, for example, the crankshaft is
completely machined on all surfaces, a prac-
tce that results in the smooth, quiet, vibra-
tionless performance that characterizes all
Studebaker cars.
Judged solely on what your eye can see-in
beauty of line and finish and exterior refine
ments-the Studebaker Standard Six Sedan
will command your instant approval
But go deeper than that. Compare its hid
den, vital qualities-its design, materials and
workmanship-with cars selling for hundreds
of dollars more.
Studebaker never conpronises-never uses
a substitute for genuine quality. Studebaker
has been building quality vehicles for II years.

been lying. He saw Lightfoot's tracks and his nose told him that the scent in them was strong because they had just been made. For just a little way he followed them to make sure that Bowser would smell them. Then he leaped far to one side and ran as fast as he could to little hill where he could watch what would happen.
 He felt mean. How could he feel otherwise when he had done such a mean and &eally dreadful thing? At the same time he felt that he had been very smart. It would be Light foot now who would have to fool Bow ser. if he could. He saw Bowser enter the thicket where Lghtfoot had been lying. The sound of Bowser's voice ceased. Then came an eager whine and the sound of sniffing and snuffing. Suddendly Bowser's hunting cry rang cut again and out from the thicket he burst, his nose to the ground, but it wasn't from the side from which Light foot had ruin. Reddy gave little gasp. Bowser was not following Lightfoot; his smart trick had failed just as the others had. You see Bowser had been taught that he must never follow deer. Reddy didn't know that. But he knew that his trick had failed and that once Inore he must run, once more he must try to think of some way to fool Bow ser the Hound. And all the time he knew, too, that the thing he had tried to do was something he should not be guilty of. It was a thing to be ashamed of and in his heart he was ashamed.

CHAPTER XIX


 THE sun was shining brightly the
 next morning when Joan awake
 and as she hastened towards the window and looked out upon the fields she saw with delight that a delicate green was overspreading the wide stretches of dun earth. A song spar row was singing gaily in a nearby tree and from the barns came the insistent bawling of hungry calves. The content ment of this country seemed to fill her spirit when. swiftly her thoughts re- turned to the events of the night before.
 As she remembered her conversation with Rupert she felt convinced that he was not party to any -dishonorable doing, any activities that could not bear the light of day and involved mys- terious lights and gunplay. She de cided she must tell him what she had seen and heard. If there was nothing to it he would merely laugh away her fears, but if on the other hand some outlawry was taking place, Rupert, she was sure, would be glad to know it. He was very interested in the commu- nifty and he would be the first to in Yestigate any nefarious schemes that might be afloat.
 At this thought she bit her lip and clutched her fingers together. Should she tell him she would be putting him in danger. The thought staggered her, for in that instant she realized that she cared for him. Leaning forward she put ler elbows on her dressing table and rested her chin on her hands. "Joan Fairweather," she whispered address ing her reflection, "you must put such thoughts out of your mind. Remember you are only a housekeeper here. Of course, Mir. Ransome is kind to you, bat after all you are in his employ and his pay. You are merely servant" Joan sighed, then continuing she added, Had you met under other circum- stances you might have let your feel ings go. Perhaps he might have re- vealed some real interest in you, but the sooner you remember your place and position the happier you will be. Pm ashamed of you to let your feel ings run away like this.e
 With a sigh she resolved she must remember the place" and reached the breakfast room in time to hear Rupert ask Rosanna if she weren't going to set place for him..
 ''Shure you'll have place, but how was I to know you were home? ex- claimed Rosanna.
 'SThen you haven't looked in your re- frigerator yetY he asked with a schoolboyish grin.

Rosanna smiled. I hope you found something to eat" she remarked.
 "Yes, indeed, and the cookies are great" said Rupert enthusiastically, but of course I'm ready for breakfast now. Oh, here's Miss Fairweather. Good morning"
 You haven't said good morning to me-" declared Sonny as he bounded into the room.
 ,"I said good morning to you up- stairs, you little rogue" said Rupert as he picked the boy up and kissed him. "N0w, let's begin, if you're ready, ,iss Tairweather, for have lots of -ags to attend to today@
 Breakfast started. Rupert said as he met the gaze of Joan's blue, eyes. Pm going over to the Turner's some time this forenoon. If don't turn up about 1 o'clock just go ahead with din ner. I may have mine there"
 "Oh, but Mir. Ransome, have you for gotten Mrs. Love is coming about ?" and as Joan gazed at Rupert she caught fleeting glance of inn patience in his sparkling eyes.
 "Aunt Maribel," shrieked Sonny. "Oh, daddy, don't let her send Miss Fairweather away" and rising from his place at the breakfast table the little boy threw his arms around her.
 "Of course, not" his father replied, and as Rupert's glance met loans she knew that he wanted her to stay as much as Sonny did. "You see, Miss Fairweather, added Rupert, "by some strange coincidence we have lost our housekeepers during Mrs. Loves visits, but of course Mrs. Loves arrival will make absolutely no difference to you"
 "Well," laughed Joan, sensing some possible disaster. q promise you I'll be on my best behavior" Then turn ing to Sonny she said, as she gently disengaged his. arms from about her neck. "Now dear, go back to your place and finish breakfast"
 '"Then you'll surely stay with us. Daddy wants you too," declared Sonny as he slowly released his hold.
 A little flush deepened the roses in loans cheeks as she smilingly said, "Of course, I'm going 10 stay"
 "Hurrah," said Sonny, now l don't care what Aunt Maribel says"
 Now, let's see,' unused Rupert. I'm going to use the car this morning, so I'll go direct from the turner's Co tne station, and if the trains on time we'll be home in time for dinner"
 As Rupert arose the telephone rang. 'I'd better see who that is before go out" and pipe in hand he walked to- wards his room.
 Re-entering the breakfast room he announced, That's Mrs. Love. An important engagement keeps her in town ard she won't. get here till eve ming. Guess that means I'll have to go to the junction, for the train doesn't stop here and I'm afraid it will neces- sitate your having a late dinner.
 "Very well,' answered Joan, but as RuneA closed the door of his office Sonny's words came back to her. Of course he'd never think of sending Miss Fairweather away. What nonsense he exclaimed and laughed at the very idea.

NEARLY HALF MILLION
 WORDS IN ENGLISH
Our Language Borrows PrOfuse- ly And Vocabulary Multi
 plies Rapidly

"The English vocabulary has grown to great size," says Professor Clark S. Northrup, of Cornell University, one of the contributors to The New Universities Dictionary now being dis tributed by this paper exclusively to it's readers; "the number of words found in Old English literature does not exceed thirty thousand; recent die tionaries have listed more than four hundred thousand, mostly of foreign origin. Yet most writers use mainly English words.
 Shakespeare used ninety per cent of English words; the English Bible contains ninety-four per cent; Milton eighty-one per cent; Addison eighty two per cent; Tennyson eighty-eight per cent. Most of our shortest and simplest words are of native origin"
 Floods of coupons continue pouring in for The New Universities DictiOn- ary. The distributing clerks are kept busy. The publishers have been or dered to keep big supply bound and ready for emergency calls. It looks as though the raid on the supply would soon make replenishment nee essary. Such a rush was not expected, but this paper is greatly pleased to see readers taking such enthusiastic ad- vantage of its educational offer.
