loads Moving Daily From
Sandhills

Raleigh, July 12.-Advertisers of
North Cardinals beauties and advan-
tages are advising all and sundry to
visit the Sandhills section this week
or next, so as to get a good view of

gion once considered too barren for
cultivation, is now moving from the
Sandhills to the tables of the world.
Solid trainloads, as we'll as thous-
ands of truck loads are moving every
day from orchards in the vicinity of
Southern Pines, Aberdeen, Carthage
and Hamlet.
Quality and flavor of this year S
crop are said to lie better than usual
but, inasmuch as the crop seems lar
ger than last year, it appears that
prices will not be quite as good as in
1897 though the market season hasn't
U0Cu OIl lung " ColoOlAOI just
what will be the prevailing prices.
Growers in the Sandhills have thin
ned their crop more carefully than
ever in order to get better quality,
with the result that their peaches,
long known for their distinctive fla
vor, are expected to be in greater
demand than ever

to ship at least 100000 bushels this
season The remainder of the crop
will be sold and canned locally.

1,984,000 bushels and was limited al
most exclusively to the commercial
peach growing section of the Sand
hills, according to the U. S. Crop
Reporting Service. This crop brought
growers approximately $3075,000.

 Trial Date
 Immediately after the indictment, Hivon was put to plea, and entered a plea of not guilty, selecting trial by jury. Judge Frank P. McEvoy set the trial-date at January 25.
 Hivon is charged with the murder of his wife, Josephine, which oc- cured September IA, at their Brooksvale section, Cheshire, home. Mrs. Hivon was brutally beaten about the head with the stock of a .22 caliber rifle, and shot four times.

 Mental Condition
 MT. Lewis said that he regarded the mental examination as merely a matter of procedure and as noth- ing which would have influence on the case.
 Hivon, who said he would celebrate his 45th birthday on January 31, as- sumed a stony calmness as the find ing of the grand jury was read by Clerk George d. Freeman. His corn- sel, Attorneys Charles Lyman and Franklin Coeller of New Haven were at his side. The courtroom was huShed.
 Only six witnesses were called by the jury in their investigation which was terminated almost exactly four hours after being charged by Judge Frank P. McEvoy with the impor- tance of their duties. The investiga- ton in reality only took three hours, for the jury adjourned from 1:3O to 2:3O for lunch. The verdict was re- turned to court at 2:45.
 Witnesses Examined
 MOre Inan a doZen witnesses were awaiting call by the grand jury, but their services were not needed Among them were Coroner John T. Monzani; Captain Henry Fitzgerald of Hartford, nationally known bal listicS expert; State Troopers Michael Santy and Henry Mayo and Con- stable Roy Carpenter of Cheshire.
