There was some question as to

Cooter Boy into staying in the

to what Aaron told Deputy Sher-

The stepmother denied that she

! she had asked him to keep the
boy in the house.
A. A. Hemingway, grandfather
of the two boys, said he had raised

had always told them to leave the
guns alone. He told bystanders
both guns were kept loaded at al
times.

the program the Jaycees became
the first civic club in the COM
munity to give official recognition
to tho purchase of the Mill Pond
and its subsequent development
into a recreation park for the
citizenry of Tabor City and
Columbus County.
Discussion of the project was
led by w. Horace Carter, Mayor
of Tabor City, who said, "This is
one of the three largest promo
tons to take place in Tabor City
in many years. 1t will be one of
the greatest assets ever under
taken in this community"
In addition to the acceptance of
the Mill Pond project the Jaycees
elected Horace Cox to the post
of secretary to replace Bryant
Graham who vacated the position
due to other duties.

old Negro boy, killed in the Cedar
Branch section a week ago Sat-
urday, was ruled an accident last
Thursday by six-man jury at
an inquest held by Magistrate S.
r. Bryant.
Aaron J. Hemingway, The dead
boys 12-year-old cousin, testified
he had wanted to scare the boy
from leaving the house for fear
he'd take cold with the mumpS."
The boy showed no signs of
emotion as, with downcast eyes,
he related how he had pointed the
gun at Cooter Boy to scare him,
the gun diScharging by accident.
He said he didn't know there was
shell in the gun and that the
gun had been already cooked when
he got it from the bedroom.
The two boys stepmothc", Stella
Hemingway, testified that after
she heard the shot, she shouted,
What have you done?"
Aaron then appeared in the door
and said, "Cooter Boy is dead"
When Magistrate Bryant asked
the boy to show the jury how he
had handled the gun, the boy neg
lected to look to see if the gun
was loaded. After the magistrate
mad asked the boy to check the
gun, Aaron broke the gun, eject
ing an empty shell from the single

Ben Marsh. chief Of the Mary

Stockholders in Washington

Sheraton Carlton and Sheraton
Park Hotels, yesterday voted to
liquidate the corporation to pave
the way for transfer of it's assets
I to the Washington Sheraton

The move to liquidate was
carried 39.591 to 40. despite liti-
cation brought by a minority

titles the holder to one vote.
The dissident stakeholder,
William S. Sheppley, through his
attorney, Monroe Oppenheimer,
has filed suit in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Column
bia. seeking to block the assets
transfer.
The suit asserts that minority
stockholders will be forced to ac-
cept cash sums of $3.50 a share
for their stock, while the Wash
ington Sheraton Corp. gains con-
troll Of the hotels as "going bust
nesSeS." The suit complains that
$l20 a share is not fair payment.
According to the suit, the
Washington Sheraton Corp. is a
subsidiary of the Sheraton Corp.
Of America. The latter corpora
ton. the suit said, owns about
81 per cent Of the stock of the

Cattle Market
Prospects
Continued from page GU

the average cost OF fee0er cattle at
eight leading markets was almost
identical with the July-December
average i'm 1858. Kansas City was
actually lower. Feeders bought at
the average level of last July-De-
cember will give finiShers about a
normal margin, if feed costs are
about the same and fat cattle next
January-June do not avearge more
than $1.50 to So a cwt. lower than
in that period this year.
With the industry operating in the
declining phase of the price cycle, low
unit costs will be necessary to assure
a profit to cattle growers. High cost
operators might as well step aside be-
fore their losses mount. That does not
hold, of course, where high costs are
due to drouth.
The percentage calf crop, rate of
growth of calves and young stock.
death losses, carrying capacity of pas
lures and ranges and cost of winter
feed are important elements in deter
mining the cost of producing a calf or
yearling.
Cost Controls
Wedding out the shy breeders and
having the herd in good condition at
mating time will raise the calf per-
centage. Pick bulls that are of good
type but large for their age Ability
to grow fast is largely inherited. Use
approved measures to prevent losses
from disease and parasites.
Improve pastures or ranges by
reseeding with higher yielding
strains or species and by fertiIiza-
ton where such steps are practic-
able, conserving water supplies,
controlling brush growth and by
judiciOus grazing. Feed minerals
where necessary to supplement soil
deficiencies.
Sell or contract some cattle early
instead of waiting until near the end
of the grazing season when weight gains
are small and sales are punched.
Hunt for Bargains
Finishers should use more care than
usual in buying and selling. Hunt for
bargains in feeders. Look in the drouth
areas and in the new producing areas
which have not yet developed broad
demand for their feeder cattle.
| oh If
developments in low-cost cattle feeding.
For wintering, use low cost roughage
with supplements developed at Iowa
or Purdue. Hold winter gains down to
Y to A-pound a day on cattle to be
summer-grazed.
Buy heavy, fleshy cattle if you
expect to ShOrt-feed with a heavy
grain ration for the early winter
market. Buy low grade feeders in
late fall to finish by spring with sill
age and other rOughage and a me-
dunn grain ration. Buy good year.
lings or calves for fattening during
the winter or merely wintering and
finishing with grain on grass. Buy
calves to be kept on good feed until
late summer or early fall next year.
If you like cattle and have the know
how, stick to the beef business even if
profits are down. If your herd is too
small to be efficient, take advantage
of the period of lower prices to ex-
pand it. Beef is strongly desired meat
and the. number of consumers is in
