70 PERCENT LESS
But Small Crop in 1896
Will Bring AS Much AS
Big One in 1885
BY r. w. MCFARLAND

Williamson, July 2-Now "every-
thing is lovely and the goose hangs
high" in this delightful section of
Eastern North Carolina for the to-
bacco crops and all other crops look
better day by day, which fills the
farmers with optimism. Naturally
this feeling Of optimism on the part
of the farmers is very gratifying to
every one engaged in business in
astern North Carolina, for no section
of the United States is more depend
ant upon it's crops, than is this favor
ed section which produced last year
354 ,82O,927 pounds of bright leaf to-
bacco, selling for an average price of
20.8O per hundred pounds. The writ
er has travelled this season over much
of Eastern North Carolina and his
findings lead him to predict yield
this season of 20 per cent less than
last. He is very optimistic over
prices and believes that for the 1884,
100000 pounds which he predicts for
the coming crop in Eastern North
Carolina, the growers will receive as
much money as they got for the en-
tire 354 820,927 pounds which they
sold in 1885.
Many of my friends down here
where I have worked on the tobac-
CO sales for the past two years, and
expect to work again this season,
have asked me when the various belt
markets will open this season. The
opening dates will be fixed by the
Tobacco Association of the United
States of which w. T. Clark is pres
ident. They are scheduled to meet
this year at Hot Springs, Va, today
tomorrow and Saturday, and in all
probability the opening dates will be
set bv them at their night session to-

From Hotel Porch
By JAMES Z. KTLGALLEN

ASHEVILLE, N. c., July 20
U.N.S0 Mark Wollner, 35-year-
old concert violiniSt, who says he
was at the home of a girl friend
the night Miss Helen Clevenger,
19-year-old blonde New York Uni
verSity coed, was slain in her
room in the Battery Park Hotel,
will be confronted in the county
jail with the statements Of half
dozen other witnesses who have
given the police information which
conflicts with Wollner's alibi.
Announcement to this effect was
made shortly before noon today
by Sheriff Laurence Brown.
Miss Mildred Ward, 19.year-old
brunette, at whose home Wollner
has been living, was still detained
today as was Daniel S. Gaddy,
night Waterman of the hotel.
Miss Ward claims Wolner was at
her home from about 10 o'clock
Wednesday night until about 8
o'clock Thursday morning.
Contradict Statement
Information given the police by
other persons contradicted her
statement.
Miss Clevenger was slain at ap-
proXimately l a. m. Thursday
morning during an electrical
storm. She was attacked and
shot once through the left lung.
Asked whether Miss Ward or
Gaddy would be released soon,
Sheriff Brown emphaticaly said
"no.''
Wollner may not be confronted
with the conflicting statements
until tomorrow. Sheriff Brown
has been carefully preparing a
case since he took the German
born violinist into custody last
Saturday night.
The prisoner maintains he was
at the Ward home throughout the
night of the murder. His girl friend,
Miss Ward, formerly a waitress,
lived with her mother, Mrs. Bessie
Ward. The two women occupied a
room on the first floor and Woll-
ner had a room on the second
