Matters. took a mucn more serious turn tor- ouin parties concerned, after the affair had been, disposed of flrst. warrants rhursrinr an affrav had been issued aeainst both and the matter was sup posed to be endedtor the time being. Later in the night, however, Johnson was seised with convulsions and was discovered to be very seriously hurt. The physician who ministered to him found that tne Dase or nis bkuu was fractured In two places. As soon as this discovery was made McBeth' was re-afrested and held without ball. His friends were active in his penair yes terday, but nothing could be done until a turn for better or worse was xaxen. He was out awhile on bond, but was taken nn again. The thing looks pretty serious xor McBeth. At first he is said to have stated to the police that ho picked up a roctc ana nu junnwn, wuum no claims had cursed him and was reacn insr as if for a pistol It is alleged by others that Johnson had tils arms full of bundles when attacked. V Now McBeth. it is said, says no aoes not know with what he struck him. It may be argued that there would not likely be any rocks handy and that hence McBeth took one with htm.

CROPS YSVSVAjjLY FIXE. Treimendous Quantities, of Fruit, Corn and Other Products of the Farm . Being Grown This Year Good Weather and Better Farming Meth ods Do the Work. , -"Not in many years hag fortune so favored as this year the people ' of North Carolina in the production' of crops of corn and all kinds Ot fruit." said a man who has seen most of it. "From the mountains to tha sea, each variety ln its particular section, there has been an almost unprecedentedly large crop. Take the fruit for Instance. In every direction in which you chance to look you see trees bowed down and running over with Juicy apples, and peaches. Watermelons by tha millions, too. are growing on ten , thousand vines. The quality of all Is unexcep tionable. "There are a number of reasons for this. The weather ln this section hss been favorable. Then, too, the peopl are farming better, mors systematical ly, more economically and with bet ter results than ever before in the country's history. The government haa helped a good deal by Its experiment stations. Its literature and. its demon stration work. Then, too, the business spirit is at Mat permeating the ranks of the farmers. They are no longer merely trying to make a living, but to make every dollar possible to be gain ed from a scientific tilling of the soli "Consequently, it Is a busy 4eaon In the country JlstrU-ta The people are putting up and preserving lare quantities of fruits -for winter use. Others are making It Into cider, this being the last year In which it can be done legitimately in this State. Of course, it will be done more or less a'l the same. The farm lands eem tp be bringing in larger results than ever before. There is a man in Greensboro. I understand, who has a tract of land In Guilford county, which will yield 75 bushels of corn to the acre this fall. That Is farming some. , "These conditions do not exist throughout the country, which is of course so much the better tor tnis State. The prices of a'l farm products are well up. Out West there has been complaint of too much rain." IVEY'S Sliiriy's mm 1 White Steamer For Mr. W. H. Thomp son. The Osmond L.
