One of the ffnaat cxamplea of co operation wa have f»«r aaan waa at tke oM time tog rolling whan a dozen or mora neighbor* would get together and vie with each other in tact of strength while they helped a neighbor pO* the log* in a newly cleared field. Why not U-t thia spirit of co-opera tion be a mean* of aiding our frienda who need our help. During the peat few weeks «ome farmer* loat their entire tobacco crop by hall stoma. It would be a noble thing to do if each fanner, when he cornea to mark et, would donate an armful of Ma lead of tobacco, say three or five poundv to the relief of thoee who loat by the hall. Suppoee each ware homo have a pile to be known aa the "HaO Pile," and then let each farmer pat an armful from hi* load on thia "Hall Pile" until It la large enough to aell. and then divide the money with thoee who lout by hail. Would not this be a fine *pirit of co-opera tion? PITCHING HORSE SHOES Thirt'' years ago and it wa* a common sight to see men pitching horae shoe*. At every *tore or shop at almost any hour of the day, no matter how huay the aeaann. men <-ould he seen testing their skill at thia aport. Then base ball got to he the popular sport and the folk quit pitching home shoe*. Now they say there is a nation wide revival of the old aport and it is estimated that aa many as 1,000,000 people, both men and women, are find ing paatime pitching horse shoea. It ia a clean, healthy and enter taining way to put in a little time and it ia no bad idea to encourage this form of sport. Unlike many other games, it is one that you can play anywhere, at any hour of the day, and no coetly field is to be prepared or expensive outlay like for balls and bata. All one needa ia some old horse shoes and two stakes in the ground and the sport is on. THE TURK AGAIN The Turk U attain in the minds all the civilised world because of his cruel act* that are now coming to light. The world war drove the Turk out of Europe and the territory they now hold in Asia has been the home of many Greek people for centuries. Just as many Jews live in this country. Turkey and Greece have been at war »«oxr for two or three years and put of the warfare on the part of Turkey is to drive all the Greeks out of their country. It is now coming to light that the methods of the Turk are to collect together from some dty or district severs 1 hundred men on the pretext that they are to be deported from the country for some alleged excuse. The men are then confined bt a mili tary camp with hot little to eat for days. Then, if K Is In the winter, the coldee* day that cornea the men will he marched acroee the country with no food and no protection from the weather. The ooteom<- la that It Hereto pa that they are deliberately so exposed as to all die on the Jour ney And this Is ons way the Turk wan. By this means seen and hoys hy the thousand have died at the ; ands of the Twk.

Shot Following • Fight Wiley Lineback, who live* In Vir ginia, wan brought to Martin Memori al hospital Monday afternoon suffer ing from a pinto) . shot wound re ceived during a fight with Will Ed ward*. Both parties live on the Fancy Gap road about aix mile* 1 north of this city. I.inehark la about ' SB year* old. ia married and hat I several rhildren. Kdward* ia said to be about 25 year* old. The trouble i* said to have frown out of a debt that Lineback claimed F.dwards owed him. Edwarda had made a trip to Winston Salem with a load of produce and when he and j I.inehark met up with each other at i Aahby't store on the Fancy Oap road Lineback demanded that Ed wards pay him. Worda were passed between the men and they came to blows resulting in Edward* getting the worst of the fight. Following the fight both men hung around the store and after a while the subject of the account arose a second time. Lineback is said to have told Ed wards that he was satisfied since whipping him. and that it had settled the debt. This brought on more talk and when Lineback made a motion to strike Edwards again he began firing at I.inehack with a pistol, i Three shots were fired one of them entering Lineback near the region of the heart, passing through the heart sack, entering the lung and lodging somewhere in his bark. It it supposed that Edwards had secured the platol I fro* his wagon immediately after the firat fight, at no one knew he had a gun until he began firing. Lineback succeeded in taking the pistol awr.y from Edward* after be ing ahot, and it was found that it had only three shells in It. Edwards made hi* escape and at this time has not been heard from. Lineback waa immediately brought | to the hospital where hi* chances for recovery are considered favorable providing no complications arise.

On Monday of thl* week hia body waa found In an aban dnnad welt two mile* from hia home with two bullet* from an aaaaaabi'a piatol In hi* head. About two month* ago Dls wtle and daughter went off down about Rlfk Point on a visit and left the old man at home by Kimwlf to do hia own rooking, milk in* and otherwise look in* after the thing* about tha little hnm«. An there waa very lKUe pass ing up the little cart toad on which ha lived nothing waa thought of it if he wan not mn more than three or four times a month, and *0 the last time anyone ha* reported toeing htm wa* on last Wednesday morning. And nothing further had been *een or heard of him until hit body waa found lying in a well the following Monday. Two mile* from hit home a man built a amall three room box house three or four year* ago. and when It wa* completed began to dig a well. After digging for 7? feet the place wa* abandoned, the owner tearing the country for the time, at the place i-oold not be used without water and tha well showed no tignt of reaching it for him. On laat Sunday morning an old lady who lives about one-half mila from tht* three-room box house carried her cow over to the place to a take bar for grating. Tha place had been abandoned for some time and the grata around the houae made good pasture for her row. As she paaaed around by the porch she noticed that there waa a pool of blood on It. and saw that it had run down on the porrh atrpa. Thinking that this waa an un uaual thing the began taking notiet of thing* and wa* attracted by a kind of path in the graa* that led to the well It appeared a* if something had been dragged through the gra«*. mashing it down. She went over to the well place and alto observed that tlx- planks which had been nailed over it had bean*torn loose within the last few days. The old lady went hack to her home thinking nhout the things she had observed but could not solve the puzxle. She quietly thought I of the things she had seen all day Sunday and on getting up Monday morning she told of har suspicious findings. A few of the men in the neighborhood went over to the well and house to investigate and when they nrrived they at once decided that some one had met with foul play and w«* evidently in the wall. The new* thaf a man waa lying at the foot of the well soon brought a large number of people on tha tcene. The Sheriff and Coroner were notified and Monday afternoon there it said to have been at least 500 people on the ground. A windlaaa had to be brought from a distance and other preparations made for the task of raising the body from the well and It was getting late in the afternoon be fore the task wa* finished. i ne inquest w#« held under the direction of Dm. W. M. Stone and J. L. Wolts and revealed that Abner Osborne came to hit death by a piatol ball being fired through hia head. From the condition of the body it rnunt have been dead aeverfcl days. Some are of the opinion that the body must have remained out of the well for at leaat two dayi. They reach thia concluaion from the fact that about the neck of the body were to be found full (frown maggots. Aa the egg of the maggot ia laid by a fly the body muat have remained out side of the well aeveral boon after the murder for the fly to lay theae egga, aa It la not reaaonable to aup poae that fliea would g<o 7S feet down into a dark dry wall After the inqueet the body waa turned over to tome neighbor* and they prepared and burled It Monday night After the doctor*, aheriff and coroner left thoae who were preparing the body for burial noticed that a bullet had alao entered the forehead juat between the eyaa.

On the trip to Dobaon Claude acci dentally let out a little piece of In formation. which, when tome of our *itl*en« learn of. will perhaps cause them to journey over to the capital of Surry and flv r?n the necessarv bond »t once The information that ia «niH to be of »uch vital importance L-i many around thi* berg just at thi» lim<- I* that Claude ha* a callon }uk full of irood old !>randy made from the < hoKfUt Elberta peaches. AH the ^ntrvaties of both Policeman Walker snd Hatcher were not sufficient to in duce Claude to reveal its hiding place. He did say, however, that it was buried in the grodnd somewhere be tween Mount Airy and White Plaina but he would not be more specific aa to the usact spot. Now some of you real thirsty fellows who have not tasted any genuine peach brandy for. ■everal moons might pool your in terests and persuade Claude to reveal the hiding place of this gallon of brandy in exchange of a bond releas ing him from Dobson jail.
