Friday, January 13, 192S. I Out raped citizenry revolted and threw a courtroom, packed to almost suffocation, into a near panic when ?an attempt was made to take the. negro from the courtroom five minutes after court had convened at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Shots were fired into the ceiling and national guardsmen were called in. Eric Tedder, father of the dead girl, and William Tedder, his brother. advanced through* the crowded room quietly and unnoticed and each took an arm of the prisoner before spectators or officers realized their presence. They lifted the negro half-way out of his chair in the midst of attorneys sitting directly in front of the judge. Shouts of "get him!" "Take him!" broke from a dozen throats in the! crowd and a group of spectators surged toward the prisoner. The audience broke and crowded for exits. Court attaches and news-; pnpermcn took cover under tables . and behind the jury box. Tables.' 3^. chair sand cuspidors were overturn-1 e<l. one mm in his frantic efforts; to leave the room jumped through the glass pane of a door. Officers crushed around the pris-j oner, beating off his assailants. He] war. whisl.ed away, his shirt nearly! torn from h's bach, into an adjacent' room where a guard was established. Sheriff \V. D.

William and' Eric Ted-] dei were taken into custody, Eric., the father of the dead girl, sitting | free under guard and "William, the! uncle, sitting through the remainder of the trial anchored with handcuffs to i wo officers. Judge Henry A. Grady, presiding, armed with a huge automatic pistol, called for order in the courtroom and sat through the remainder of the trial with the gun in easy reach. There was no further disturbance. The negro was placed in an automobile and rushed to state prison at Rnleigh, under escoit of national guardsmen, immediately after the! trial. The jury, after hearing evidence ,. -javi > ? - ? for three hours, retired and returnd within 15 minutes with their verdict. The negro did not testify.

Alien Narrowly Escaped Death When Car in Which He" a mi Policeman Story Rode Overturned on SloivinR Rocic Road Sunday By RUPERT GILLETT Blowing Kouk. Dec. 14.?I. Alien Gragg, who was dangerously injured in an automobile wreck near Lentz'sj store Sunday morning, was still in a precarious condition at Watauga; Hospital this week. He was gashed on the head, and his chest was injured. but the exact nature the latter injury had not been determini..i In- *>V?Troi#?i?o4cs vj (j?,| o?i.iaur. The accident occurred when Mr. Grag^,, in Policeman 1- ?. Story's car, rounded the curve near Lentz's store. One of the men offered the other a cigarette, and this diverted the driver's attention from the road. Seeing the car about to piunge off the embankment, he cut the wheels too quickly and overturned. Story was lacerated about the head and hands, but his injuries were not so serious as'those of Mr. Gragg. Story and Gragg were chasing two women and a man who had broken into the summer home of former Governor Cameron Morrison and were speeding: in the direction of Boone. When the fugitives saw how closely they ware being pursued, they abandoned their car and took to the woods. Story found in the car a blanket, a mirror and- one or two other articles, believed to have been stolen from the house. The thieve- have not been captured. School to Present.

Select, only well-drained, deep. friable, loose, fertile soils as potatoes will grow best in this kind of soil. Drainage is the most important requisite in a potatr soil. Potatoes will not give a profitable return if planted in a water-ioggeu soil. Well-drained, deep, friable, loose but firm, fertile loam will produce the greatest yield and of the highest quality. Sod land which has been in clover or meadtiW, other things being equal, will be good land to plant to potatoes. Too much emphasis cannot be put on the importance of preparing the land to be planted to potatoes. A well prepared seed bed is the most important thing in the production of potatoes. Al) other conditions for the production of a good crop of potatoes may be ideal, but a poorly prepared seed bed will mean a low yield. The land should lit* plowed in the fall or as t-arly in the spring as * weather* will porar.it. Land should e plowed e-.vht to ten inches deep, and turned lit time to get some ?>? the white: freezes. Freezing will improve the mechanical condition of the soil, make plant food available and destroy ir.-ects. of which, grub worms and war. worms are the most . .o rv'j;?.. - ----- ...j.vn.e'Hl. , r.s-., psCtCmy. w-i; g've tii> seed bod : fivumeis, c.u: - vivo the moisture and givfj the vegfctat or, time to decay A . of these are a; ceisary in the best teed bed.
