Jack took the gifts, thanked the giant
and then, putting on the shoes, swiftly
caught up with the Prince.
After travelling for few more days
they came to the dwelling of the beauti-
full lady whom the Prince had come to
rescue.
She received the Prince very graciously
and spread feast in his honor. When
it was over she arose and taking her
handkerchief, said: my lord, tomorrow
morning command you to tell me on
whom l have bestowed this handkerchief
or you will lose your head"
The Prince was very greatly worried;
but Jack put on the cap of knowledge,
which told him that the lady was forced
by the power of enchantment to meet a
wicked magician every night in the forest.
Knowing this, he put on his invisible
coat and his shoes of swiftness and was
she gave the handkerchief to the magi-
clan. Jack drew his sword of sharpness
and slew the magician with one stroke,
and the enchantment was ended in
flash. The next day the lady was
married to the Prince, and soon
after went with her husband to
the Court Of King Arthur
Once again, Jack set out in
search Of adventures, continuing
until he came to little lonely -"
house at the foot Of mountain. sA

was opened by a little old man
with q long white beard.
He welcomed Jack and said:

castle. In one room he found three ladies,
who told him that their husbands had
been killed by the giant and that they had
been left in this room to starve.
Jack gave them the castle and all the
riches it contained, to make some amends
for their dreadful suffering, and then
went on his way.
After some wandering he met King Ar
thurs only son, who was travelling into
Wales to deliver a beautiful lady from the
power of wicked magician. Jack joined
the Prince and they travelled on together.
The Prince was SO very generous that
he soon gave away all the money he had
with him. AS he parted with his last
penny to an old beggar woman, he became
very uneasy as to where they were to pass
the night.
"Sir," said Jack, "two miles farther on
there lives giant with three heads, who
can fight five hundred men at time.
will go on and call upon him if you will
await here until l return"
Jack rode on to the gate of the castle
and gave loud knock. The giant in a
mighty voice reared out, "Who is there?"
"No one but you little friend Jack" was
the answer.
"Well, we'll, friend Jack,

him eat Jack for dinner. The giant had
not been gone long when Jack looked out
of the window, which was just over the
gate of the castle, and saw two giants
coming along arm in arm. They We're

wall heard of his brave
exploit, they sent for
Jack and declared that he
should always be called
Jack the Giant Killer.
Besides the reward they
gave him a sword, and a
belt upon which was wrls-
ten in letters of gold:
"This is the valiant
Cornishman
Who slew the Giant
Cormoran."
The story of Jacks
brave deed soon spread
over the countryside.
Quite naturally, all the
other giants in England,
of whom there were a
great many, heard the
news and were on the
lookout for Jack. They
felt sure that they would
not be taken in by any
of his tricks.
One giant in particular,
ma m e d Blunderbore,
started out to find Jack,
vowing to take vengeance
on him for killing the
other giant. One day as
Jack was passing through

So Jack locked the giant securely in the
cellar as he was told and then went back
after the Prince. They Toasted and made
merry and spent very comfortable night
in the castle.
In the morning Jack gave the Prince
gold and silver from the giants treasury.
After the Prince was we'll on his Journey.
Jack let the giant out of the cellar.

BULL ASSOCIATION
FORMED AT MAYNARD

On Saturday evening, March 13, at
80, group of farmers met at the
Bank of Maynard and organized the
first Bull Association ever organized
in Randolph county. County Agent
Kerr met with them to assist in the
organization.
The officers of the Association were
elected as follows: w. J. Harpole,
president; Hulen Spencer, vice-presi-
dent; Ben Choate, secretary-treasurer (;
]. b. Weaver, keeper of the animal.
A committee was appointed to draft
bylaws, make purchase of bull and
secure information on management

This committee is composed of j. T..

son.
The matter of fees, feeding, manage
ment, etc, will be worked out by the

clubs at Supply and Middlebrook in
the near future. AS soon as the organ
ization is completed the other com
munities will be visited and the mat
ter of organization will be taken up
with the farmers.
With an association like this and the
farmers managing the breeding of their
dairy cows, the dairy industry of the
county should go forward and in a
few years we should have good dairy
cows over the entire county. If the
interest grows in Randolph like 1t does
in other counties we should have at
least 10 bull clubs in the county at
the end of two years.
Better cows mean more and bigger
bank accounts. Let's all get behind
this move and do our best.

MANY AGRICULTURAL
CLUBS BEING FORMED

An intense interest Is being shown
by Randolph county in Agricultural
Club Work. There are. at present,
more farm boys and girls enrolling
for the Club work than at any time In
recent years. Thirteen Clubs have
been organized in the county by Mr..
Kerr, the county agent. and others are
to be organized before crop planting
time.
Most of the Clubs have elected their
officers and are actively engaged In
their work. One feature Of the Club
work now is the election, by each Club.
Of local leader" The local leader
is a prominent man or woman of the
Clubs community who will meet with
the boys and girls at their regular
meetings and assist the county agent in
instructing the members in regard to
their work.
The farm girls are included In the
Club work this year. They engage In
poultry, pig or dairy calf work. They
are not permitted to enter other Clubs.
since they have no woman agent to
supervise their work.
The choice Of work is more evenly
distributed through the various
branches than heretofore. Previous to
this year, the high price Of cotton
caused most of the boys to choose cot
ton as their Club work. This year
the work is divided about as follows
pig work, 80; poultry work, rs: cot.
ton work, %; corn work, 25; miscellan-
eous work, 20. This makes a total Of
about 200 boys and girls who ara

RESULT UNDECIDED IN
SATURDAYS ELECTION

The report of judges and clerks in
the preferential primary held Satur-
day by the two local candidates for
prosecuting attorney, Curtis Higgin-
botham and Geo NJ. Booth, gives Mr..
Higginbotham an unofficial majority of
five votes
Demun township reports 446 votes
polled, of which Mr.. Booth received
312 and Mr.. Higginbotham 1874. James
Greek township reports 1877 votes, of
which Mr.. Higginbotham received 1S5
and Mr.. Booth 3 This makes the
unofficial totals read: Higginbotham,
$40, Booth 314.
Mr.. Booth however, reports dissatis-
faction with the returns, alleging that
James Greek polled only 157 votes. He
bases this contention on number of
affidavits he has obtained from citi-
zens, which he says substantiates his
claim One of the affdavits which he
secured reads as follows
