Re fused to Leave the Caledonia Farm. 1 Tribune Bureau , Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, May 15.—A prisoner who refused to leave when discharged! • Sounds paradoxical, it is true, but State prison authorities were up against a real problem when H. C. Moore, who had been sentenced to from two to three years from Rowan county, upon the completion of his term and when presented with his/ discharged, a suit of clothes r-nd s3l in cash, refused to leave the Cale donia prison farm, claiming that “more money” was due him. Mooi]b would not accept any of the three and announced his intention of re maining at the prison until the “lest of bi» money" wns forthcoming, itl though he was unable to state how much more he thought he ought ! to have. And at the prison farm Tie remain ed, free, yet in prison, until the meet ing of the prison board Tuesday at which time his case was taken belore the board. It was finally decided to take him to Halifax, and there, in the presence of the sherie, present him with his discharge, the afore mentioned suit of clothes and $34, warn him that if he showed up at the prison farm again that he would be nrrested for trespassing, and let him go whither he listeth. Up until this morning he had not returned to the prison farm and as nearly as could be learned, he did not make a present of the $34 to the sheriff in Halifax. Moore's action apparently wns based on the belief that the allow ance of ten cents a day for each day of servitude still was in effect. How ever, this provision was repealed by the last General Assembly, and the $34 was what had accrued to bis cred it up until the per diem provision had been repealed. Under the pres , ent law, being only a class B prison i er, lie would have been entitled to only S2O upon his discharge, instead of the $34 that he was given. The present law allows sls to class C prisoners, S2O to class B and $25 to class A on discharge. Free Transportation for School Chll z, dren. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. May 15.—What the free 1 transportation system has menat to the North Carolina public schools has been forcefully illustrated during the last few days while he has been mak ing the rounds of commencement ex ercises in several counties, according to A. T. Allen, state superintendent of public instruction, said today. Mr. Allen returned to his office yesterday after having delivered the commencement address before the graduating class of the Wilkesboro high school Tuesday night. “There were twenty-five young peo ple in the graduating class and twen ty-two of thgm were from the coun try, only three being from Wilkes boro. The high school is a thriv ing one, with 225 students, but only seventy-five of them being from the tqwn itself. This offers a striking ' example of what the school traitspor -1 tation system is doing for the chil dren who live in the country .and who otherwise would not have the advant ages of a high school education in the better type of high school,” Mr. , Allen said. L*te Farm New* Worn the County Kinston, N. C. May 15.— UP)—A total of $7,141.59 in cash has been received by Lenoir county farmers during the past 80 days for coopera tive poultry Shipments, according to County Agent C. M. Brickhouae.

Leo Tatum, well known automobi e man of this city, hn» disappeared, and j neither his family nor his business partner have been able to locate him | since he left town several days ago. A mental breakdown is thought to have been the immediate canse of the disappearance, and Mr. Tatum’s friends advance the theory that he is I seeking a much needed rest. He is I said to have been seen near Pine | hunt. I Mr. Tatum has been a member of . the firm cf Tatum and Torrans. op erating a garage on Maxwell street. He was until three months ago the local dealer for Star and Durant automobiles, and wns apparently do ing well, having sold a large num ber of cars in this section. It is un derstood. however, -that he had be come involved in financial difficul ties, and on .(anuary 21 he was plac ed under nrrewt at the instance ot a credit company in thin statue which had been financing car movements on the •floor plan.” A compromise with the creditors was made by Mr. datum's attorney, however and the charge of embezzlement was dropped- It is said that Mr. TatumVi note* to tie amount of thousand* or dollars were -held by credit compnnies and individuals. Mr. Tatum has a wife and five young boys, who are now with Mrs. Tatum's mother in Cedar Creek township. Webb rules for TOWN OF NEWTON Says County-Scat Highways Must Connect Central Sections. Shelby, May 15. —The town of Jewton was victor today in the de cision rendered by Judge Jame* L. H’ebb regarding the routing of high way 10 through the county sent of Catawba. The judge held that a highway Connecting county wonts means one entering the centers of the main seo tion of tile towns, and not merely the town of ‘Newton which objected to the proposal of the Highway Com mission to bring Highway 10 through the edge of town. The deciwiion wns made public late this afternoon following reflection on the matter by the jurist since Monday when the hearing wns held here. The judge has been in Ruth erford court since that time and was unable to give the matter his atten tion. until today. Citing five apparent facts from the evidence, and the road law enacted by the legislature, Judgge Webb granted a permanent restraining or der against the highway commission as to that part of the proposed route 10 in Catawba county. However the restraining order as it pertains to the Iredell county por tion of the proposed road was re leased, permitting road work there to' 'go forward. Finals at Queen’s College, Now Un der Way.

Tribune Bureau Sir Wnlter Hotel , Raleigh, May 15.—Cotton is being very much retarded in growth and truck crops generally arc suffering from a lack of rain, according to Frank Parker, crop statistician, state department of agriculture, who has just returned from a week’s tour of , the agricultural sections of the south , eastern part of the state. His trip , took him into twenty counties. “In Robeson county, where by this time of year the cotton should be a foot high, I found that in many places , the seed had not even sprouted.” Mr. Parker said that he did not see a single good stalk of cotton on the , entire trip. The strawberry crop is about over, due to the dry weather, and the bean t crop, which should be coming on soon now, promises to be very poor unless rain comes at once in this area. Cab bage and other truck crops are also iu poor condition. Didn’t Want Anyone Else to Enjoy His Garden. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, May 15.—The Rev. W. S. K'.iaeklette, recently deposed chaplain and welfare officer located at the Cal edonia prison farm, evidently is not anxious that his successor—if any— shall share the fruit of his labors, certainly not when it comes to the fruit of the soil. One of the last official acts of the ex-chaplain, before his removal from the residence provided by the state 1 for its welfare officer, was to plow up the garden which he had previous- 1 ly planted. The report that tears! came to his eyes when he pulled up his onions Could not be verified. In «he early days of baseball the pluyerfc used a square instead of a diamond and had from 10 to 14 men on a Side. The first team to score 100 runs won the game. | Although not yet 27 years old, 1 Waite -Hoyt of the New York Amer ican League team, ie in hie eleventh year an a major league pitcher. j SMITH-MeADOO FACTIONS ABE GETTING TOGETHER On the Matter of Abrogation of the Two-Thirds Mule. j Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh. May 15. —Considerable in-' terest in being manifest in Democratic circles here in the apparent getting I together of the Smith-McAdoo sac , tions of the party on the abrogation • of the two-thirds rule. Almost with |out exception everyone who has been asked for an opinion has been in favor of abolishing this rule in na tional convention procedure. i The further fact that Gov. A. W. ■ McLean not only id in favor of the ] abolition of this rule, but is a pioneer, in the fight against it came to light | when, in discussing the present situa tion, it was learned that when he was a delegate from North Caro lina to the Democratic convention in Omaha in 1904 and was a member of the committee on rules, he offered a resolution proposing to abolish the two-thirds rule. "But I did not get very far with my resolution,” he remarked with a smile "as it failed to get a second in the committee. However, the idea seems to be growing in popularity now.” That was his first experience in a big political convention and he was somewhat disappointed that the firsf resolution he had offered had failed because no one would second it. However some are inclined to look upon the apparent harmony springing up between the Smith-McAdoo groups with a grain of salt, holding that ot . does not necessarily indicate that there is the harmony that appears on the surface. But any move that looks toward the creation of greater strength and good will in the Democratic party is generally looked upon with fnvor. ENTIRE HOUSE CARRIED AWAY Only a Few Bricks to Show Where It Had Been. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, May 15.—“0h where, Oh where has my little house gone?” was the question one Stonewall J. Adams was asking here Saturday after he had discovered that small house he owned here was missing from its foundation, with only a few bricks here and there to indicate where it had been. The house was occupied by ten ants until recently and he is quite sure the house was there up until a few days ago. He did not discover the theft of this dwelling until Sat urday and immediately appealed to the police to help him locate the phan tom habitation. No trace of it had been found and Mr. Adams had no iden who removed it. It is believed, however, that the house must have been taken apart piece by piece and loaded onto a truck and hnulcd away, as it would have required expert house movers to have moved it bodily. , However, no one has been found who witnessed Bueh an operation. Some consolation is found in the fact, however, that Mr. Adams had intended to tear down the house soon and erect a new one. The theft of the house, he says, has saved him this trouble. It is suggested by his friends that when Stonewall builds again that he make the walls of stone so that It will not be so easily stolen. North Carolina Day October ftth. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, May 15.—North Carolina Day at the Sesqul-centennial in Phil adelphia has been officially set for 1 October Oth. in conformance with the \ request of Gov. A. W. McLean that i that day be so designated. October ' 7th had first been selected as North ! Carolina Day, inasmuch as that was i the anniversary of the battle of Kings ' Mountain. However, Tennessee had J already spoken tof that date, so that 1 Governor McLegn selected the day preceding. * "’/ , Special programs dealing with the Old North State will be presented on that day and information con cerning the state generally dissemi nated. North Carolina Will also participate in special exercises at the exposition on June 14th, June 15th and July 4th. “Better Sires” Campaign in David son. Lexington, N. C„ May 15;—OP)— A “better sires” campaign will be put on in Davidson county this sum mer, reports County Agent 0. A. Sheffield. Twenty-five farmers from all parts nf the county met with J.

Rrow-n, of Vaneouver, who as “tile greatest scientist in the world,” spoke tonight in the county courthouse on “the Bible and Science." The Britisher came in late, delayed by an automobile accident in Greens ! boro, but his crowd waited. He ae i cepted the apology of local funda mentalists for the empty seats. He ! was promised better tomorrow after i noon when he resumes defense of the Bible and renews the warfare against modernism, evolution and atheism. The visitor made a good impres sion. He was gentle and used no epithets. His scientific speech, like that of Dr. Johnson. Sunday last, in opening the campaign against evo lution, fell dead. But for the mod ernists who are curious to hear n real fundamentalist talk Bible and berate the Jasons of Scienee. there would have been hnrdly any erowd. Dr. Brown will be ’here a week. He expects to talk the issue tea finish. But two frosts in succession strike' North Carolina, the Strawberry Can ter. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, May 15.—North Carolina continues to be the shipping center of the country for strawberries and lettuce, according to reports from the United States department of agricul ture, made public by the , bureau of markets, State department of agri culture.
