J. li. Taylor. of Newlaiul. Avery county, cashed in on this idea Iasi year wlien he sold th*‘ produce fi(*m a two-acre garden to tourists and hotel keepers in the amount of $400. In addition he cannetl .some 400 qnai-l.s of surplus vegetables for winter use and kept his own family supplied with fr«>sli vege tables during ihe growing sea son. He says he gave away about $1."* worth of Vegetahle.s to neigh bors and otliers. “We know i.Uat th*- home gar den from oie-half to one aiTe in size will supply a farm family with all tile vegeta’blcs needed during the >ear if the plot is given the proper attention says H. K. Niswtoiger. extension horticulturist at Slate ('oUege. i “There are sfeeia! ‘ondinoii ; however, wb»u‘e one miglit eu-1 large his garden area an I b»‘-■ come a market gardener. .Mr. Tayldr did this Iasi year ami he j knows exactly the results of his operations lu'cause he kept un j Itegnizeil account of all expenses and sales. He sold $4on worth of vegetables to nearliy tourist hotels and hoarding houses.! gave away about $L» worth and • canned quarts for winter | use. His cost for seed and ferti lizer amounted to which leaves rather a good labor in come." ' Mr. Taylor sold these things^ from bis garden: English peas. i head lettuce, onions, beets, car rots. spinach, turnips, cauliflow-. er. cabbage. Tdma beans, sweet | •orn. snap beans and squash. j In addition, he had a small | acreage of Irish potatoes, red ras^pherries and ever-bearing strawberries from which he sold the surplus. No Itemized account was kept of these sales, Niswong- er says. he wants." I told Mr. Woodie to go on in the hoii.se that 1 would be there in a few minutes. 1 went in and set about a gallon jug of liquor on llie table, poured out Mr. Woodie some and he drank it. Mr. Woodie said in his letter that he .seized my still. He did get the very stilL that I was carrying on my hack at this veiyv time, and it was found up in wliat is known as the “Blackburn Hollow," where Mr. Woodie hangs around frf'qiienily now. After I had giv en him the liquor I went ahead and dre.ssed for a rabbit hunt. We both filled up our flask out of the same jug and went hunt ing together. He came back to my home that night and spent drank liquor to- moved his pistol saying. ‘Til kill At this time he thought the Democrats of Lewis Fork township were against him. (T have told you this to prove jthat at this very time, when he j was serving as deputy sheriff, ! he was a wet on one side and a idry on the other. , Here Is a little further proof the night.

I wonder If' he rememberfl when he ^beat his wife so that her brother planned to run him away from hotae. It also seems to me that be was do ing a big wrong, of which I'm proud that I can't be accused, w’hen he is said to have lived with another woman in Tennessee in Smallen's Camp. Another time in which our deputy w'ent very bad wrong was when he raised a racket with Mr. Cleave Huffman ovefr the dividing of corn, it is reported,! (I wilt not say it is true) that during the racket he knocked down his own sister, the wife of ^Mr. Huffman, three times. I do know this to be true. He would not allow the corn to be pulled till they could get a deputy sher iff. Mr. Joe Nichols, to come and help. . (This sounds like humor, it's really true). Two years this past fall while making lasses the boiler leakel. Woodie got very worried about it and when Mrs. Woodie stooped to .go under the fence Mr. Woodie I took his foot and shoved herl through. Then his son Johnson! came around and he grabbed 1 him. Slicking his head in the, cane juice, and almost drowned | him. The boiler belonged to! neither of them and they could-^ n't keep it from leaking. j In my first letter I did not | tell the whole story about being' held np with guns.

We were all standing there w'hen Mr. and Mrs. Woodie came. Mr. Woodie said In his letter to show friend liness he unloaded his gun. He did unload his gun, but when he did he said. ‘TH beat your brains out with the barrel of my gun. He used a lot of rough language of which I shall not mention. My stick that I was carrying was not a w'hile oak, but a blackgum. At the time he was using his gun I did not even have the stick in my hand. And about Mr. Woodie using his gun.

I would like to ask if he also rtmember!+ this. .At this very time he walked up behind me, and struck me with a ldac‘4cjack saying. "I hear you’ve been talking about me."
