the runners are about eight to ten
inches long and must be made

should be repeated often enough to
keep a thin coating of dust on the
plants, which means every five
to ten days, depending on weather
conditions.
About the only form of crop de-
struction that has been observed
in New Hanover county this year
in any number, the agent said,
is the Mexican bean BEETLE, which
eats the underside of the bean

some destruction among victory

MEADOWS TRIAL
GAINS MOMENTUM

GREENVILLE, June 20. .P'-
The trial OF De-. Leon R. Meadows
was accelerated today by the ear
ly conclusion of direct examina-
ton of M. L. Widenhouse, one of
the principal witnesses for the
State, and defense allegations that
his testimony varied in this trial
from that given last spring when
Meadows was given a mistrial.
While Widenhouse gave an item
by item relation of his probe OF
DR.. Meadows handling of special
and student accounts while he
(Meadows) was president of East
Carolina Teachers College, his tes-
timony chiefly was concerned with
items known in this trial as the
Baker-Davis account, and the boil
ling item.
The state alleges in Baker-Davis
account, that DR.. Meadows con-
verted to his own use 1878 col
lege check, ostensibly given for
payment of two carloads of cement.
The state contends that the pay
ment was never owed, that Mead
ows gave the check to E. L. Baker,
head of the Baker-Davis Co., here,
and that it was returned to Mead
oWs and converted to his own use.
In the Boiling item, the state con-
tends that R. c. Boiling, Norfolk,
Va, piano tuner, endorsed check
for S503.05 over to Meadows and
the latter converted that to his own
use by depositing it to his private
bank account.
Widenhouse testified that he
came to Greenville in 1912, that in
his position of certified public &C.
countant with the State auditors Of
flee he had been occasioned to sus
pect that something was wrong
with the accounts of DR.. Meadows
At one time today, the result Of
another lengthy legal battle, the
jury was sent from the room while
the court pondered the admissible
| ity of a court ruling in the frs
trial directing that the defendan
was innocent on nine of 16 cour t.
alleging he had embezzled NOR
than $4,000 in college funds. Tha
was brought out by the defense to
day, the State objected and Judg,
j. Paul Frizzelle upheld the state
Widenhouse was expected Il
leave the stand by late tomorrow
and the State Indicated that i
would conclude shortly it's evidenc,
in it's attempt to convict DR.. Mead
oWs on charges of false pretens'
and that he embezzled more thai
$14, 900.

after hearing their plea, Mayor
W. Ronald Lane asked them 10
meet with the City Manager and
a budget committee, comprised OF
;l-9Councilmen Garland S. Currin and
Robert S. LeGwin, to which petit
t;ons from the two departments
in question, were referred last

g The petitioners asked that raises
he included in the new budget
which goes into effect July l, ana
City Manager A. c. Nichols SAID
The conference could be held al
ter we get little further along
with the budget"
In his plea, Mr.. Parmele point
! cd out that members OF the TWO
! departments should be men select
ed that could be trusted with the
Z enforcement of law and the pro1ec'
stion of property.
y He went on to say that the group

I. realize that we certainly face the

: hold the line, there is no history
of indication of strikes in the de-

Workers who have obtained
raises have been those who have
struck, he continued. Where 1t
is recognized fact that men are

. pay of those men be raised, Mr..
Parn1ele asserted.

method of increasing the salaries
and Mr.. Hutaff concurred with that
request
Mr.. Hutaff stated that unless
something is done, the men will
be forced to seek higher-paid jobs.
He also pointed to the increased
costs of living.
He contributed the ''knock-down,
drag out and robbery Of women
in the Market street area not to
the inefficiency Of the police de-
partment but to the fact that it
is undermined.

a relic. "Origin unknown" runs the
comment OF the Century Dictionary
on the term most commonly applied
to such an implement. The spelling
primarily, it seems, was "baston, Z"
signifying "a club" or "a mace; but
there are many variants-"bastao,"
"bastone," "batoon," "batten," bat
ton" among the number. Lexicogra-
piers find relation with "bas-
tinado," referring to "a blow or
beating with a cudgel." They also
detect an Identification of the term
baton" with the equestrianism. In
the Britannica it is set forth: Just
as the title of constable is traceable
to the style and functions of the
Byzantine count of the stable, so
that of marshal was evolved from
the title of the marescalci or masters
of the horse, of the early Frankish
Kings. In this original sense the
word survived down to the close Of
the Holy Roman Empire in the
titular Office of Erz-MarSchalk or
arch-marshal, borne by the electors
of Saxony."
