Tiiii only trouble with tills story"
said Hall, "is that there isn't of it
true. After five minutes exposure,
rattlesnake venom is absolutely use
less either for evil or good."
Another myth exploded by Hall had
' to uu with the Black Widow spider. i
the bite o f which is supposed to mean
quick, horrible aud certain d-.ath.
Hall who has been experimenting
with these in.sects some 20 years, said,
.idly, that "us usual, the female Is
la; more dangerous than the male."
"The he-spider can't do much but
: insr and ?< you", h.- "The
h<iiy's bite is li ts wo:s.'. and may
make you p:eUy sick? but there Is
io recor 1 cf one navirv; caused
t'eath."
Hall warned again ;t trying *o re

i ars If you must clear your ears.
' 'lit- K?iH, never use anything auiaU
er titan your left elbow Then he ex- j
plained:
"If a bug gets in your ear. and you ,
try to puli it out. that bug may clamp j
down and leave infectious germs that ;
may cause deafness."
Asked by a nervous student if "is
there any cure for ITCH?" Hall re
plied: "Sure! Ordinary good oV soap
and water."
As parting advice Hall told the
class: "If you are teaching on the
ground floor, be sure that the cur
tains are down. Otherwise people
will look in and get queer ideas.
"I was running a fire house class
cne night" he went on, "and the men
had rounded up some kids as pa
tients. The mother of one happened
by. looked in, and saw her darling
[ ying on the floor all trussed up with
bandages. That mother let out a
[shriek, and keeled over, right there!"

explaining that her father was sick.
Instead Ballew drew a revolver,
: thrust it through the crack, and
aimed directly at Mrs. Harper, who
I was standing watching.
"Let me In", Ballew ordered the
j child, or I'll shoot your mother."
j Terrified, the girl opened the door
wide.
Ballew strode immediately to the
bed where Harper was lying, and
said: "Buster, I've come to kill you."
Harper set up and 6tarted to get
out of bed. "My God, you surely
wouldn't shoot a man helpless in
bed," he pleaded, "give me a chance".
For answer, Ballew placed the
weapon against Harper's head and
began firing. The barrel was so close
that the wounds were were powder
burned. Then Ballew proceeded to
mutilate his victim's face.
Finally satisfied, he left and went
to the home of Arp.
"I want you to take me to Blue
Ridge to see the Law" he told Arp.
He refused to explain why, declaring
I'll tell you after we get there."
At the jail, they found the sheriff
absent.
"There's been a bad killing." the
Sheriff's wife said, "and he's out
' looking for the man who did it."
"Well, ho needn't look any more,'
! Ballew told her. "I guess I'm the
i man".
1 As the paper goes to press, Ballew
still has refused to give a ny expla
nation of his act.
Funeral services for the slain man
were held Tuesday afternoon In the
Baptist church, at Sweetgum. Besides
his widow and two daughters, he is
survived by his father, J. R. Harper,
for many years Postmaster at Sweet
gum. hi smother, five brothers, and
