One day this week a certain man
of Ahoskie stopped) in Manhattan
Cafe and borrowed John Halege's
newspaper. John, being a lover of his
country, receives a Greek publication,
so when this man asked John for the
loan of his paper,-he gladly accomo
dated him. The borrower put the
paper in his pocket and went home.
After supper when he sat down to
read what was happening, he soon
decided that something was wrong
with his glasses. John says he met
this gentleman on the street the next
day and the' gentleman would not
speak to him. It doesn't pay to bor
row everybody's paper.

IN POLICE COURT
Quite a little excitement was caused
on the streets of Ahoskie Tuesday
when Geo. Harrell, Jr., colored, struck
Mr. Henry Benthall with his fist or
hand, the force of the blow knocking
Mr. Benthall down. It seems that
Mr. Benthall reproved Harrell for
beating a mule, belonging to the
County. An argument was started
which resulted as stated above. After
striking Mr. Benthall the negro beat
a hasty retreat but was captured and
arraigned before Mayor W. L. Curtis
who fined him the sum of $14.70 for
his actions. Upon being released after
paying the fine, Harrell was again ar
rested on a warrant charging him with
cruelty to animals. This case was
heard by Magistrate J- H. Mitchell
who found him guilty as charged and
assessed a fine of $14.65 upon him.
The moral to be gained from this
story is that it costs just 5 cents
more to hit a white man than it does a
mule.

CONTROL OF THE
RED SPIDER
By H. L. MILLEtt, County Demon
stration Agent.
This insect pest does quite a bit of
damage in our cotton fields each year
that can largely be avoided by proper
care and attention. The insect
thrives best in a dry season, in fact
a wet spell is about the only thing
that will check them when they have
once gotten a good foot-hold. The
first precautions to take in keeping
flown the spider is to keep down the
weeds along your ditch banks and
fence rows, and especially the poke
berry weed. If you will keep down
all weeds around the edge of your
cotton fields you are not likely to
have any trouble with the pest. The
writer visited a good many cotton
fields last year, infected with the red
spider, and in every case was able to
trace the outbreak to a^lump of poke
berry bushes somewhere near the
edge of the cotton. Keep a close
watch on your cotton field and espec
ially so during dry spells and if you
see any signs of the spider (easily
noticed by the leaves turning red and
dropping off from top to bottom of
the plant and of course also by the I
presence of the almost miscropic in
sect itself on the under side of the
leaf,) pull up and burn the plants
for several feet around the plant ^ou
noticed infected. A little care along
this line may easily save an almost
total failure of several acres of cot
ton for you.
