THE WATERMELON CROP Has the Dry Weather Done Much Damage to the Watermelon Belt? Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, • June 24. —What about watermelons? \ Has the dry weather , done much damage in the watermelon j beltj The State department of agri , culture admitted that there probably) „ would pot be as plentiful supply of this luscious fruit as, usual, but said that there would be a goodly crop, , nevertheless. The most encouraging phase of the . watermelon crop situation is that the growers planted more this year—a to tal acreage increase of almost 35 per cent. The prospefct is for little more 1 than 65 per cent, of a normal crop, , however, according to the latest re ports from the melon growing sec tions, so taking all in all, the .in creased acreage will just about com pensate for the decrease in the crop prospects, it was pointed out. Along with other crops, the melon crop will be from eleven to fifteen days late and where shipping usually begins about July 15th. few melons will be ready for marketing before July 26th, the growers say. The fields have been very dry, but the vines have stood the drought well and the recent rains have been a godsend. With a few more good rains between now and maturity the crop should be of splendid quality, though Bomewhat under size. It is estimated that the yield this year will run a little bit under half a car to acre, although the usual yield is about six-tenths of a carload to the acre. This report is based upon individual growers’ re ]>orts from the melon belt and em braces an area of more than 2,235 . acres of watermelons. The cantaloupe situation is very similar to the watermelon status, both in crop per centnge and in the late ness of the crop. The fruit, how ever, is of good quality, considering the dryness of the weather, and the yield is very good. Scott and Robe son counties are the chief watermelon 1 centers, with Hoke, Cumberland, Du- 1 pdn, Johnston, Pender and New Haiir J oyer, raising a large acreage aS well. Quit* an. acreage is also in Richmond county. ■ ) “MYSTERY MAN” MAY MAKE ! FUTURE HOME} AT SHRIJSY Dellinger, or Charlies Ross, Likes the People There, and Would Stay With | Them. Shelby. , June 24.—The mystery | man of North Carolina whose identity 1 as Charlie Itoss lias been pretty defi- 1 nitely established, who is.now,in New J York living at the Vknderbilt : Hotel * as the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce J C. Starr, the latter being a cousin 1 of Charlie Ross, may come to Shelby I to live. ’ Information has been received in dicating this eventuality may come to pass. The idea is, the long-lost wanderer likes Shelby, likes the peo ple here, appreciates what has been done for him in this city, and fes» the friendly call to make the place his home. He is expected to return from New York to his Denver, N. C., home this week, and may pay Shelby a visit at that time. It is expected that he will do this. Small Kchoolhouse Still Exists in Kentucky. . (By International News Service) Knoxville, Tenn., June 23.—The small sc-hoolhouse—the one-roem frame building which formed the community seat of learning a half century ago— may be rapidly passing out of exis tence, but it still exists in Knox county, ami probably will for some time to come. The chief reason for this condi tion, according to County Superin tendent W. W. Morris, is because of the typography of Knox county. Nat ural barriers exist, he said, which would make it impossible to consoli date Ithese schools. Three rivers and- four mountains in Knox county separate the communities and make consolidation a tiling not to be con sidered. according to Morris. Farewell Party For Mr. and Mrs. Rls ley. Mrs. N.

Douglas, Aria., June 23.—Aimee Semple McPherson, missing Los An ' geles evangelist, was brought to a : hospital here today in an exhausted condition and related a tale of having been kidnapped by two men and a woman at Ocean Park, Calif., May ; ISth, and held captive in Mexico for half a million dollars ransom. James Anderson, an American, said he found Mrs. McPherson in a state of collapse at Agua Prieta, across the border. The evangelist, pastor of Angelus Temple in Los Angeles, had been g!v en up for dead by most of her fol lowers, who believed she had been drowned in the surf at Ocean Park the day she disappeared. Mrs. McPherson said she escaped from a Mexican shack in which she was held while her captors were away. Mrs. McPherson was identified by I her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, at Los Angeles, in a telephone con versation with William F.
