PAGE SIX ROWDY FOUGHT FOR KID SISTER, SAYS; IS JGIVEN 4 MONTHS [ Free-For-All Fight at Oak boro Last Friday Is “’Air ed” in Albemarle Court During Tuesday. j Doe Ransom <Tre\v a sentence ot I lour months on the chain-gang before Ray Ingram in Albemarle Tues f day following the trial of Ransom and f -Bill of Concord, as two of the fj actors in the free-for-all flight which J was staged in the little town of Oak- I boro last Friday. Dick Ramsey and KjWilliam McQuirt. also of this city, \\ are said to have taken part in the | battle. 1 1 Ransom charges that he fought for I the sake of his little sister. The I following story of the trial comes from R Albemarle: | Doc Ransom, star player in the little 1 Punch and Judy drama staged Friday j p, in the town of Oakboro, and also £ wielder of the brawny fist which ham ■ mered and beat great patches of skin ‘ from the person of one Bill Baton of I: Concord, said on the stand in record £ er’s court here that he did what he jy did for the sake of his little kid sister. Ransom. Bill I>aton,. Dick Ramsey gj and William McQuirt drove into Oak | boro last Friday afternoon, tanked : I upon liquor and staged a free for all , battle among themselves. The fight resulted <n Ransom and 6 being lodged in the county | jail here. ' J McQuirt and Ramsey beat a hasty b retreat to Concord, but were later | arrested and placed under bond by Sheriff Furr. I. Ransom, an Indian of Robeson j| county, with complexion the color of £• leather, said that he went to Concord i on the request bf his mother last week i' in quest of his kid sister. H Upon arriving at Concord. laiton | informed him that his sister was some | -where else. Accordingly, if Ransom’s IH testimony is to be believed, he and I Daton. along with Ramsey and Me- v | Quirt, got into a touring car and came II to Stanly county in search of the I girl. ♦ ' ! But after sj>ending the night some f where in the vicinity of Oakboro. Fri jr day moriffng Ransom and Diton se- 1 f cured a half gallon of home brew and a quart." of corn liquor, which they j h drank. They then proceeded to Oak- i \/ boro, arriving ther about 1 o'clock E Friday afternoon. Immediately after arriving there, I words were passed between Ransom | and Baton. Subsequently Ransom H snatched up a curtain rod and frailed i J.aton into a pulp. McQuirt testified that Ransom i started fighting after they had con sumed a large supply of liquor and home br#w. And it was he. McQuirt. who reported the fight to the Oakboro officers. 1 Ransom was given four months on the ehaiugang by Judge Ray Ingram, I while McQuirt was acquitted. Ramsey and who are now under bbud, will be tried later. SIDE DRESSING FOR I COTTON SHOULD BE USED, SAYS AGENT EL ' - J |r “Each* Acre Should Produce a Bale or More of Cotton in This County,” R. D. Goodman States. P ‘’Cotton growers should strive to p- make each acre produce a bale of cot t ton or more,” stated County Agent • R. I). Goodman today. “Government | figures indicate that cotton can be | produced for from ten to twelve cents, j? per .poufld, when a yield of a bale or | more is produced. Most of our soil P* requires special fertilization to pro duce such yields,” he stated, py “For the cotton plant to produce maximum yields, liberal amounts of plant food must be at its command - during the growing season,” Mr. Good man continued. “A goqd size weed L must be produced early to "Secure a if. bale or more per acre. Especially is this true in sections where the boll | weevil is a menace. K "An early weed can be produced f* only when a liberal amount of a quick acting readily soluble source is used. I| Three-fqurths of this nitrogen should be applied when the plant is from thirty to forty days old, according to x experimental results, or when the % plant has developed a good root sys- I tem. B “In addition to the fertilizer applied | at planting time,” he said, “one to jb two hunderd pounds of nitrate of soda y per acre should be applied at the ■Second cultivation after chopping. Ex i? periments show that the plant will take up 200 ponds of nitrate of soda F jter acre in two to three weeks, if | applied when the plant is from six £ to eight weeks old. This does not H mean that the crop does not benefit; T from nitrate after that time,” Mr. ft Goodman explained. “After the lii [■ trate is absorbed, the plant will upe §£. jt in making growth for some time. S% If the application is small, the crop ; Bjay later show the need for more *. nitrate. The length of time the ni- I tYate is effective in increasing growth j ife, and yield depends on the amount of §|. nitrate absorbed and not on the rate | of absorption. “You still have a chance to* make a bale per acre,” he stated. “Side dress ■ your cotton. It does two things—it 1 cuts the cost of production and it in i' creases the yield. Increase your pro ; fits by reducing the cost of produc .. tion.” Mrs. T. P. Stevenson Buried. •• fe.
