KILLING OCCURS

Jesse Whitaker Fatally Stab

COLUMBUS. Oct. 6.-Jesse Whit
taker, widely known Opelika road
overseer, with knife wounds in his
left side and chest, is dead after an
alteration late Sunday afternoon
at Torbett Hill, seven miles from
Opelka. Ed Hill, negro, his al
legged slayer, who fled following the
tragedy, was arrested about mid
right by Lee county authorities and
is in the Opelika Jail facing a charge
of murder, according to advicej re-
ceived here.
Authorities are understood 20

Whitaker lived forty-five minutes
after being wounded
No motive for the misunderstood
ing between the slain man and JFc
black could be learned late last
night.
Whitaker had for some time been
foreman of a negro crew engaged
on the Dixie Highway. Previous to
that time he had been farmer The
deceased had lived in and near
Opelika all his life.
Shortly after the killing authori-

where every lock had been picked.
With the warm sunshine Monday,
every available picker should be in
the fields, and if they are Sumter
warehouses will see much cotton
coming in this week.
While the rains of the past Two
weeks have damaged the crop, it is
idle to sly that cotton is all in, for
it. is not. On both sides of the road
for an almost uninterrupted ride of
many miles, the white fleeced staple
could be seen as far as the eye
could reach, many places as white
as if it were early September.
Sweet potato crops and the hay
and grass were evidently greatly
improved by the rains and cattle
feed will be more plentiful this
fall and winter than for some time.
Farmers reported good corn yields
and the peanut crops were except
ionally fine.
However, the rains have damaged
peanuts to some extent, tcausing
moulding in the stacks. Particular
ly is this true in that section Of
Lee county bordering on to Sumter.
Several Lee county farmers stat
ed that threshing would begin
Monday provided the weather was
right. One farmer said that in his
opinion the peanut crop was not
damaged more than a small percent
age, but that the peanut hay rad
suffered.
It was also stated that the crop
over the state is around % per cent
eff and a better price for the nuts
is being expected by the farmers in
the next few weeks.
Should the peanut crop bring
$115 to 1925 a ton, the peanut farm
er will realize a fair profit, it is
stated, and another authority said
that though the crop over the Uni
ted States was short, Geoggia's
crop is heavier than usual
Going back to cotton, one thing
that was impressive, was the delay
on some of the smaller farms in
picking. Numbers Of farms were
seen where but little if any pick
ing had been done. On these farms
the necessity, said large farmer,
for rushing the picking was great,
"a heavy, driving rain would de-
stroy some of these crops, he said.
Taken as a whole, it is certain
that there are many bales of cotton
yet to be ginned; the hay and potato
crops have improved; the peanut

fact that she was built under the
