INDIAN SQUAW CHARGED
WITH KILLING HUSBANDS

Lanse, Mich.-A Northwoods
priestess of Indian herb lore sits in
a jail cell here facing a charge of
poisoning her young third hus-
band, a white man, and accusa-
lions that she caused the deaths of
two previous husbands.
Squad, swarthy, Mrs. Elizabeth
Ziolkowski, 90, a half breed Chip
pewa, is charged with giving her
35-year-old husband John, several
doses of a potato plant spray ito
make the pains go out of his stom-
ach."
Indians from the two missions
in this heavily timbered region and
from the backwoods thronged the
streets of the 10th century out
post town. They talked among
themselves about the mysterious
deaths of the medicine doctor's''
husbands.
They gossiped about her mid
night trips into the forests to
gather roots for connections she
gave to the sick. They wondered
about her friends among the Chip.
pewas, and about her disappearan-
ces into the far backwoods, pre-
sumably to join them in mysteri-
Gus ceremonies.
The prisoner peered stoically
through her glasses as woodsmen
neighbors clustered around the
Jail.
She waived preliminary exam
nation on the murder charge and
admitted, according TO Sheriff
William Netti, that she gave her
husband several doses of arsenate
of lead.

Leonard's Jewelry Store
Occupies New Quarters

In occupying it, present new
location the W. II. Leonard, Jr.,
jewelry store is maintaining an al
most unbroken record for the op-
Grafton of this character of mer-
camille establishment for probably
more than 100 years in the same
storeroom. AS far back as the old
est citizen can recall or of which
there is any record, this place, lis
South Main street, has been a jew
elry store. 1t was the business
home of the old and long estab-
lished firm of J. & H .Horah,
pioneer jewellers and watch re-
pairers of Salisbury. Gofman &
Green also operated a store there
and then it was a Thornton store,
and later was the home of the
firm of Starnes & Parker.
The present owner and manager,
w. H. Leonard, Jr., received his
training under his father, who OPP
Grated a store on North Main
street, and became proficient in
every department and detail of the
business. He remained with the
elder Leonard until 1925 when he
became partner in the former firm
of Leonard & Ingle, later dispos-
ing of his interest to his partner.
He then launched in business sole
ly for himself, occupying a suite
of rooms on the fifth floor of the
Wallace building and in 1927
moved to the new Arcade building
on West lines street, occupying a
ground floor and fitting up a mod
ern store, remaining there five
years and until he moved into his
present. location, which was ar
ranged especially for the business
and which is one of the most
modern and prettiest jewelry stores
in North Carolina.
On of the departments in
which Mr.. Leonard takes especial
pride is the private diamond room,
where a showing of diamonds can
be made in private, and where
there is a vault, with brilliant
lights and everything arranged for
the showing and inspection of
diamonds and other precious stones,
this room being devoted exclusi-
vely to this purpose. There is a
silverware section, where hollow
and flat ware is carried, in both
sterling and plate patterns, and
another section for the cut glass
display, and a china department
has been added. A complete line
of watches, rings, and everything
carried in a modern and up-to-date

Mule To Cause
Relocation OF
State Highway

A mule will probably cause the
relocation of a proposed stretch of
Highway in a western North Caro-
lima county, Chairman E. B.. Jeff
ress said. The proposed new loca-
ton would have saved about 1000
feet of construction. But it would
have cut right through a mans
farm between his barn and the
spring and branch where he wat
cred his mule. This man insists
that if this route is constructed,
that the Highway Commission
build a runway and gates SO that
his niue can get to the branch to
drink.
cit looks as if we are going to
have to relocate this short strip of
road SO that this man can get his
mule to the branch without hav-
ing to take him across the high
way every time Mr.. Jeffress said.
Fortunately, most of the people
in the community want the other
route, so that every one will be
satisfied.
Not long ago the Highway
Commission encountered a similar
difficulty, except that in this in
stance it was a farmer with a COW,
with the highway running be-
tween his barn and the watering
place for the COW. But in this
last it was possible to route the
highway around the farm, so the
Highway Commission settled the
matter by buying the Gov from
the farmer. Then, having no COW
to get to water across the high
way, the farmer was entirely sat
isfed.
"These are only one or two in
stances of the thousands of pro-
blems we have to face in building
roads or in re-routing them"
Chairman Jefress said.

Officials of the Aberdeen and

Egybtan Cotton Mroduction Fails

CxPERIMENTATION carried on by the De-
l. partment of Agriculture since 1867 in an
effort to establish the growing of Pima Egyp-
tian cotton in the United States has finally re-
suited in conclusion by experts that the Egyp-
tian cotton is not suitable profitable for the
American cotton grower of Texas, where the
experiments were carried on.
Early results which were favorable to the
Egyptian cotton had raised high hopes for sue
cess of the work, but development of upland
cotton strains of much better quality from the
American point of view has shown the inad-
visibility Of attempting to go on with the Egyp-
tian cotton.
The principal objections to the Egyptian cot
ton is its susceptibility to attack by the boil
weevil and the black arm disease.
Only the most favorable of weather condi-
tions and the temporary absence of weevils
permit the raising of q profitable crop of the
Egyptian cotton. Too much or too little mois-
ture lays the cotton open to the attack of its
enemies. If bad weather delays the planting
or retards the growth of the crop, the weevls
get the bolls just before they mature Warm
and moist weather, on the other hand. so stimI-
late the plant that much of the initial growth
goes into the plant itself and the late maturing
of the bolls puts them right in the middle of
the Weevil season
Evening star., 1932-08-21

On the other hand if there is insufficient
moisture, the plants become susceptible to the
attacks of the black arm disease. This disease
often rings the whole stalk of the plant with
decay and the plant breaks off and topples to
the ground, total loss.
Other objections to the Egyptian cotton
the necessity of a different type of gin than
that used for the upland cottons smaller poll
which requires more per pound of cotton, with
a resultant added cost in picking and handling.
and the necessity Of picking almost as soon as
the bolls open, particularly in warm. windy
weather, which subjects the cotton to the dam
ger of being blown from the plant.
