(Greensboro News It.)
Gastonia, Nov. 10.—Nothing has
developed today which baa any im
portant bearing upon the Sunday
night tragedy in which John Ford
wsa killed. Local sentiment, which
yesterday discredited the criminal as
sault story, seams to have changed,
and many state that (hay believe the
story of the three surviving princi
pals. However, some believe that the
perpetrators of the >1*10 were net
negroes, but that they were white
men with their handa and faces black
ened.
Miss Ernie Beatty, when seen this
afternoon, admitted that it was pos
sible neb was the came, saying It was
vary dark at tha time and she could
see the faces of the assailants only
whan matches Were struck, several
being struck during tbs two hours
they were compelled to stay in the
woods with soDooaed negroes. 8he
nve the description to the Daily
Newt repreeuntative again today and
it tallied with her former description
at her complete story does. The man
who shot hsr, she states, was short
and heavily built and won a mus
tache, The other was tall. She be
lieves the would know both of them
if she could toe them. She admits that
it would be bard for her to give a
certain identification. IflW Grice
could not be seen today at she was
bring questioned by the conusor's
jury which resumed the hearing this
morning and continued until lato to

again today and whus ao statement

Miss Grice returned to her work
at the Loray mill this morning but
waa brought before tbs Jury after
having worked for only a short while.
Most of the rumors of yesterday have
spent themselves and it teems Usat no
now leads have developed. A tele
phone call to Lineolnton this after
noon confirmed the report of a note
of warning being received by Ford
and the correspondent talked with a
responsible men who had read the
note which statee: “You don’t know
mo and I don't know you hut I have
seen you in the picture show here
and you bad better be careful where
you go." The letter was written en
a place of note paper end the en
velops has been lost, so the postmark
cannot be datenainod; it Is toe roly a
supposition that It waa mailed from
Gastonia. It is undoretood that the
note la In possemion af Ford’s re la
tiv#o,
Nuy rumor* which are board to
day are distinctly scandalous in na
ture implicating prominent people of
the eity. One or these la that four
young people experienced the seme
thing at the identical place which the
young people of this affair claimed
happened, with the exception of the
shooting. It Is assorted that the two
yoong women in the party were crim
inally t maul ted and the young man
robbed. The trouble was concealed
through fear of publicity.
Coroner Davis la endeavoring to
follow every rumor and the testi
mony It said to be proceeding slowly.
Minute details of the iacidsnt are
being thoroughly discussed. Members
of toe police who yesterday did not
believe tbs story of the trio state to

Say* Forty Cents Not
An Unreasonable Price
.Referring to Mr. J. O. Guthrie’s
comment about thouo of us “who.ore
wearing out the seat of our brooches
figuring,” I waat to submit a few re
marks ia sepia nation uf same. 1 had
in wind only tho desire to show that
the American Cotton association had
not named an unreasonable pries as
forty casta, middling basis would only
bring us an average pries of twenty*
one easts, which ia fay below the scat
crop, .
I am the son of a soothers eotton
grower I was bom on the seventh
day of Octobs r—cattos harvest time.
I was worked on the cotton farm un
til 1 was nineteen years of age. six
teen hours per day, six days par week
fifty two wanks par year. As a reward
far my labor I received fat back and
hominy for food. Kentucky Jeans for
breeches. Hickory doth for shirts,
and was shod with brogaa shoas—
when at all. I went to church behind a
Jackass hitched to a rail cart, and
attended free school from three to six
weeki during the year, averaging a
round five weeks per annum for the
nineteen yean I labored on the farm.
I laft the cotton farm with nothing
but a memory of hardchip, toil, sla
very. and sucrifica. The days that
should have been the happiest, beet
and brightcat af my lift arc looked
beck upon as a nightmare, a hideout
dream. 1 look upon those first nine
teen yean of my life as though I was
being perished far a meet hideous
crime which called for the crudest
and most unrelenting toil. 1 fell, sir,
fully qualified to writs and figure a
bout eotton. 1 paid in full for my
axperisnee, ns the sen of a eotton
farmer, and my axperisnee has been
duplicated a million times by others
in the cotton flelde of the south.
The youth of the eotton beK her
yielded its vigor, Its strength, and
its manhood producing a [world neces
sity, which contributes to the peace,
comfort, and happiness of all eivfll
ration.
For this labor wo bavt Motived
so assail a pittance, aa meagre a re
turn that tho eotton belt of tho south
has baen designated as the poorest
and most poverty-stricken section ia
tho country. As evldrmce of this truth
it baa Ac worst highways and streets
Ac most shabbily-built home*, and
A* moat disgraceful school buildings
and churches, and the poorest paid

and with all Ala before us w* have
been producing a world necessity of
which w# have a tufa monopoly, aa
era produce sixty-five per cent of Ac
world's supply of cotton.
1 Atnk, sir, it la time ws wore be
