Association today when close to two
million potfcids of the weed were han

marketing ever seen in this section
and the member growers received
their first cash advanoes.
Ou the cooperative markets at a
good many places in South Carolina
tobacco farmers were heard to say
"I got more for my first advance to
day than my whole crop averaged last
year."
With advances on wrappers run

for cutting leal", with from $15.75 to
$7.70 for cutters, from s6.!}o tc $1.05
for smoking lugs and from SG.6I» to
$1.06 for primings the growers ware

ENDAR
1. Clear all the low moist land you
can. Have it ready to sow the seeds
of good pasture crops early next
March.
2. There is still a need for clipping
pastures. UsS thC nrowirrg machine
on the weeds and give the grass a
chance to work for you.
4. Turning the mu)es on good pas
ture when crops are laid-by reduces
the cost of summer feeding. Look
after them constantly and feed e
nough to keep them in good condition.
4. Keep right on working for that
county Ask all the people in the
community to take part. Don't let
the small grain exhibits be destroyed
by rata and weevils.
5. If inoculated soil is not available
for starting the clover crops, make
your application now for the artific
ial inoculation. The United States Dt
partment of Agriculture will furnish
enough inoculation for 100 pounds m
seed, but the application must be in
three weeks before planting time! 1 -

MOVE CONVICT CAMP
BACK TO JtALEIGH
The convict camp was aßaheToned
Thursday. The forty-five convicts, all
the guards and the Supervisor left
by Atlantic Coast Line morning train
for the Central Prison at Raleigh.
The camp was established about
two and a half years ago, since which
time they have worked on the fill a
cross the river until a short time ago
when they began work on the con
crete bride and on the Washington
road, when the water was too high
to werk on the bridge.
Capt. C. J. Rhem was in charge ol
tha convict*! until recently, when h
was transferred to the Central Si.aU
Farm at Raleigh and Capt. Kul/I.
vfaa placed iu charge Mere.
The camp has contained as high
eighty-one prisoners at oim* time an,,
during the tiaae the convicts Rave been
here six have escapAl, one committed
suicide by hanging himself, and while
two have been shut while attempting
to escape, ia> one was killed.
The organisation has been good and
those in charge have been men of hon
or and mercy, and the convicts have,
from all appearance, barring confine
ment, fared sumptuously every day.
No complaint can be charged a
gainst the State's management of its
prisoners at the Williamson Caiap.
JAILERS
"The Sheriff shall have care
and custody of tlie jail in his
.. county; and shall U», ot appoint,
the keeper thereof.'.' —C. S. 5944.
Occasional'y in North Carolina one
mny find fl.e sheriff himself in charge
of thd ji-.il. More ol'ten a deputy sher
iff, or jailer, appointed by the aherifl
is in charge. He is usually paid a
certain amoiyi', pei pi issuer, per day.
In ruoic of tic cou.'ti' i the jailer de
votes iirYait ol -us time to other du
ties. .!» n.ay lu.'pi'in cth»:r duties
as deputy slieiil!', • he may engage
in some trade 01 I • aiiicfc • entirely 'uit
connec'el wi'li ins duties as jailer.
It is not unuual, llxru'iiU', to find the I
jailer' wife, or daughter, in active
charge ol the j"l-
In a coimty jail recently visited by
a niemlier of teh Blair of the Commis
sioner of Public Welfare a Federal
piisoner serving a sentence curries
the keys. At the time of the visit he
happened to have walked up town. No
one coutd get into the jail until he
returned.
At least three counties have, or
have recently had, negor jailers. He
may not be the officially designated
jailer, but he cariiee the keys. Some
time ago a distinguished man frofn
another state visited the jail in 11
wealthy and in many respects pro
gressive county. He was shown thru
the jail by the negro jailer. He was
conducted thorugh the white men's
ward; through the negro men's
ward. Then they came to the en
trance to the white women's ward
The negro jailer inserted his key an«'
without any other signal threw open
the door. The visitor inspected the
ward. They came to the entrance t
the negro womens' ward. The negro
inserted his key and without further
signal opened the doer. This negro
man still carries the keys to this jail.
It is a rare exception to the gen
eral rule" when one finds even hr-the- -
most populous counties a matron i
exclusive charge of the women's ejuar
ters in the jail., The jailer carries tin
keys to every apartment and has free
access to every cell at all hours. In
a small county some time ago the
jailer became so infatuated with an
attractive prostitute who was confined
in the jail that when her time Was
up he dielsappeared with her.
Occasionally one finds a jailer who
stands out in such sharp contrast wltl"
the average that it is almot a pleaure
to visit his jail. Wake County has
such a jailer. There are many things
he doesn't know about prison admin
istration. A jailer cannot be expect
ed to be a trained peologist. But he
taker pride in the condition of his jail.
Every prisoner upon entering is giv
en a bath, inspected for vermin, and
furnished an entfre outfit of cleap
clothing. The cells are kept clean.
The matt res sea on the*cota are cov
ered wtih brown cotton slips that can
be, and are, removed and laundered
whenever they become Uirty. The
blankets, too, are kept clean. The
jailer wil ot a tanyltshetaoinshwyph
jailer will not say that there is not
a bedbug in hia jail, but he ia willing
to wager that you cannot find one.
The common apology of jailers, and
others, for the filthy conditions so
general in jails ia that with the class
of people who become jail prisoners
it la impossible to keep the cells or

ATROCIOUS CRIME
IN MOORE COUNTY

covered the 72 miles between.' South
ern Pines and Raleigh in cotisidorab)
less than two hours, a dozen oth. 1
high powered touring cars pulled up
ut the prison gates. They had le
the Sandhills nearly an hour behind
the sheriff and his prisoners.
Black Crime Charge-d'
Presence of members of the pur
suit group iu the city and widespread
rumors that an attempt to storm the
State prison might be made during
the night, caused Governor Morrison
to order a detachment of the Durham
Maclune Gun Company for guard dut>
there.
Behind the race between the slier- |
. iff and the enraged Sandhill cltiaens
, lay one of the blackest crimes In the
history of the State. Thursday
A. E. Ketchen, his wife and one year
old daughter, making their way leis
urely from Miama, Kla., to their old
home in Connecticut by automobile,
had pitched their camp just outside
the corporate limits of Southern Pines.
At 1 o'clock in the morning Mrs.
Ketchen was awakened by a shot. Hei
husband had been shot through the
left breast as he lay asleep on hi.-
cot. The baby's head was missed by
the fraction of an inch. The bullet
passeei through the body and Ahrough
the cot on which he was lying. Th»
wife went to assist her husband, but
was dragged away and outraged, first
by one negro ami then another.
MRS. SUSAN OUTIERIIKIDGIV
Mrs. Susan Outterbridge closed tlu

Mrs. Outterbridge was an Andrew!

Stephen Outterbridge t.. .... early age
Mr. Outterbridge died 7 years age, Ji
the age of 90, since which time she
has kept house.
Mrs. Outterbridge never had an;
children of her own, but perhaps shr
was a mother to more hoys
and girls than any other woman win
lias lived in Martin county. For man)
years Mr. Outterbridge rah a board
iitg school, first in llamiltou town
ship and afterwards he moved to lioh
ersonville. During this time the real
spirit of true manhood and woman
hood was instilled in the consciousness
of many of our best and most suc
cessful citizens. He also gave instruc
tion and a general knowledge of use
ful text books. Character building
was most emphasized by Mr. and Mrs
Outterbridge. It was the fundament
al and primary thing in life accord
ing to their teachings. She loved am
cared for the children, as if they wen
her own.
Mrs. Outterbridge was a memhei
of tlie Primitive Baptist church. Tin
funeral service will be held today '

: P. Brown, maimer of the warehouse

RESOLVED: NOT TO WORRY
It is never too late to make a g%al
resolution, especially whet) that iso
lation is "Not io worry." Worry is
abnormal, and is therefore injurious
to health, it weakens the mental
forces by tiring them out by doing
nothing. It never gets anywhere. It
is mental labor for nwthing.
The effect of chronic worry on the
health is almost that of poison. It
not only disturbs tfie mind and per
verts mental vision, but it disturbs the
natural functions of the body, causing
indigestion, poor nutrition, and neu
rasthenia. It often produces a condi
tion of the bowels that favors consti
pation with ail of iU attendant evils.
It undermines health, and is at all
times a great menace to both mental
. and physical health.
For most people, worry is large
ly a habit that can be avoided. Often
times when reason is applied to wor
ry, worry vanishes, which is to say
that there is seldom a reason for wor
ry. Strange to say, the things that
people should worry oVcr most wory
them least. However, people can, by
firmly resolving not to worry, and by
looking at the physical and mental re
sults of worry, do much towards liv
ing a saner, happier, healthier life,; —

DISASTER IN CHINA
A typhoon struck the town of Swa
tow, China, last week, causing the
death of 50,000 people. The storm
bioke or. the city and at tha sa 'n
time n tinal wave awept the water
front. This caused the destruction of
about half of the population.
The typhoon is- not uncommon in
the China Sea and when they ?weep
the edjacent land they usually de
vastate things..
The burying of the dead it a n ,ijue
undertaking and without comparison.
The dead are often covered and lodg

and heavy timber. This situation

COTTON PROSPECTS
LOOK MUCH BETTER
(By Savannah Cotton Factorage Co.
Our letter of Tuesday, August Ist,
gave the government's condition re
port as of July 25th, 70.H, indicating
a cotton drop of 11,449,000 bales. On
that day the New York future mar
ket advanced nearly 2c per pound,
closing at a net gain ot 105 to 110
points. Periods of- liquidation and
profit-taking set in following the re
ports, and the market ea-sed olf dur
ing the remainder of the week. Fail
ure to settle the coal and rail strikes
encouraged selling by some Southern
ers and also by professional traders
The outlook today is that both strikes
will be settled at an early date. This,
together with- continued dry, hot
weather ill the west, should have a
.stimulating effect on the market be
fore August 16th, unless the demam
is insufficient to care of offer
ings.
.August is the boll weevil month.
The September Ist condition report
will indicate the approximate dam
age, and we predict higher prices af
ter that date..
Mail order houses, wholesalers ana
others report a steady improvement
in business. This improvement should
continue, for the following reasons:
Liquidation in every line is about
over.
Unemployment has decreased to
normal.
Cotton stocks have decreased to pre
war levels.
This season's cotton crop of 10 to
11 million bales should sell for 20c oi
over, putting millions of dollars more
into circulation. i
"Uncle Sam" is loaning money t
assist in the orderly marketing- ol
cotton, instead of rush in jr it on tin
market as rapidly as picKeu.
Better times appear to be not far
distant. Let's be prepared to enjoy
the prosperity which is bound to come

SUCCESSFUL MEETING
OF GROWERS HERE
About two hundred tohacca (flow

men assembled the Court Hons.
Wednesday where t,hey heard a utrnn:'
address by R. J. Marks of Lexington.
Ky. Mi. Work i. a large tobacco far
mer and is in North Carolina' for
few days trying to help the farmer,
•oniplete their organisation for thi:
season.
Mr. Works is u man with every up
pearunce of uprightness and honor
and he made a straightforward ml
dress dealing mostly with tin- tohacci
business in Kentucky for a nuinbei
of years and the situation *f thei
farmers. He showed how they wen
growing more dependent each year a.
their debts were ipultiplying and how
they found it absolutely necessary t
make a change in their system. The
then tried the method of pooling theii
tobacco in one great orgauizatioi
which system they put into practie.e
operation last season and though tin
were handicapped with many dittieul
ties they had made a complete succe...
and those farmers who were not ii
th« Association last year will be i
this season. ' I
Their pool has not sold nil the to
bacco, yet there is assurance that i 1
farmers will receive 20 per cent
(or their crop than those who wet.
not members and sold on tho ■>,
market.
He urged all farmers to stand to
gether and sell on a sensible and sam
way. Several of those present signe,
the contract.
When the farmers began to organ
ize the oCoperative Marketing A
elation It was very hard to get W il
liamston citizens to attend the meet
ings but they are now beginning to
sit up and take notice and this meet
ing brought out more than any pre
