Negro Slayer Of Girl !,
in Asheville Hotel to
Die for Deed Oct. End

Ordered to his feet for the verdict,
he slowly raised his lank figure from
his seat, balancing himself with one
ham-like hand on a chair in front of
him, his head dropping slightly.
The jury was out almost an hour,
although one member said only one
ballot was necessary to decide the
case.
AS the deputies walked the pris-
oner out of the building they were
talking about dice games.
81 don't reckon I'll shoot any more
craps" the negro commented. "But
if I do, I guess I'll shoot seven or
eleven"
Miss Clevenger was shot and her
face battered at the Battery Park
hotel about a. m. July Is, during
terrific mountain thunderstorm.
Her body was found at $3.50 a. m.
by her uncle, Prof. W. L. Clevenger,
VI 4NO4 I'll S0AO1411d 0LoIS SOA4SSS al
Raleigh. She had been travelling with
him in this section on what her faith
er, Joseph F. Clevenger, of Staten
Island, N. Y, described at the trial
as an educational and recreational'
tour.
Pajama-clad, she lay, legs crrlm-
pied behind her, almost in the door
of her room, where, in the confess
sion he later repudiated, Moore said
he left her after killing her in panic
when she screamed as he entered her
room with the intention Of robbing
it.
Hotel guests heard her cries, they
said, but all attributed it to some
ordinary disturbance after cursory
attention.
She had been shot through the
lung, and her face was mutilated,
apparently by the pistol butt.

Public Is Urged to Remember
Rural Identification Meeting
DOughton and Lake to Speak on
Monday Explaining REA
Administration
MEETING IN COURTHOUSE

Prof. r. E. L. Plummer, one of the
promoters of the REA in the county
is anxious for the public to attend
the meeting in Jefferson Monday
morning that is being held to ac-
quaint the public with the benefits
of rural identification. Congressman
Doughton and Mr.. Lake, from
Washington, will be present and
speak ON the subject. ~
The policy OF, the Rural Electric
Administration is to help those who
help themselves, according to re-
cent statement from David S. Wea-
yer, agricultural engineer at State
College.
In communities where farmers
show they are making an organized
effort to secure electricity, he added,
the REA will make loans to help fl
nance the construction of power lines
and the wiring of buildings.
But it is not going to pour money
into communities that are making no
effort to obtain electric power, he
declared.
The national REA has set aside
$1,00O,0O0 for loans in North Caro-
lima, he pointed out, and is ready to
allot an additional $2,500,0O0 if
North Carolina farmers go after it.
To get it, they must push the rural
identification program and convince
the REA that they will make good
use of the money. Otherwise, it will
be loaned in other states.
The state REA and the State Col
lege extension service are endeavor-
ing to help push the rural electrifi-
cation program in all communities
that are interested and willing to CO.
operate, he stated.
Already, more than 1900 miles of
rural power lines have been strung
in this state, he went on, but that
is only beginning. At the close of
1885, he pointed out, only 1853 of
the 3O0,967 farms in the state, or 3.8
per cent, wer served by electricity
from a central distributing station.
with all this money available
from the national REA," he said, 1--WE
face the best opportunity we have
ever had for electrifying rural
districts. Let's take advantage of it. :"

ONSTER DEATH TOLL IN NATION DURING WEEK.
Drought Expected
To Send Butter
Quotations Higher

It is probable that consumers will
have to pay somewhat higher prices
for butter. said the bureau of agri-
cultural economies in a report on
the dairy situation issued today.
The drought, which began to injure
the pastures and feed crops in June,
has cut down milk production furth-
er during July. Butter and cheese
prices have risen rapidly during the
month
The trend of butter prices during
the remainder Of the year will de
pend to a large extent upon the SER
iousness of the drought in affecting
production. Even if the drought is
broken in the near future, it seems
probable that butter prices during
the last half of 1896 will average
higher than in 1885 and the highest
since 1890, the bureau said.
On July l, milk production per
COW was per cent below the aver
age for that date. The condition
of pastures is very poor over most
of the country. although in import
ant dairy sections it is not yet quite
as bad as it was in 1884.
Storage stocks of butter are low.
Total stocks of butter and cheese in
storage ON July l were Is per cent
less than a year ago and about the
same as the relatively low stocks on
that date in 1884.

SOIL-DEPLETING
BASE SETS SOIL
PLAN PAYMENT

Payments cooperating farmers
will receive in the 1896 Agricultural
Conservation program will be deter
mined. in general, by the "soil-de-
pleting crop base" Frank Beyschlag,
county farm advisor. announced.
The soil-depleting crop base will
be established for each farm in I'M
perial county by the county agricul-
tural conservation committee from
the information furnished on the
work sheet which each cooperating
farmer fills out for his farm. This
base will be the total acreage the
farmer had in soil-depleting crops
in 1885. with adjustments which
may be necessary to allow for un-
usual conditions and to establish a
fair relationship between farms
within the community.
There are a number Of types OF
adjustments which may be made OF
the figures furnished by the farmer,
Beyschlag declared. One is the ad-
iustment for acreage taken out OF
crop production under the AAA
programs and put into soil-conserV-
ing crops. Farmers will receive
credit for such acreage in their
oil-depleting base. Adjustments
will be made if paintings or har-
yestings were affected by severe
weather conditions, such as drought,
rust. or insect infestation, in 1885
Also the figures a farmer turns IN
on his work sheet may be adjusted
if mis- base otherwise would be alb
normally high or abnormally low
This will be done in order to make
his base come into line with those
of similar farms in the community
Soil-depleting bases will be estab.
lished for the following individual
crops-cotton, sugar beets, flax, and
rice.
A farmer may estimate what MS
base will be by adding up the acre
age that was in soil-depleting crops
in 1885. and getting estimates from
his community committee OF what
adjustments may be made.
The following are the principal
soil depicting crops in Imperial
county: Wheat, oats, barley, flax,
grain sorghums. sweet sorghums,
sudan grass, cotton, truck and
vegetable crops and their seeds.
