A number of summons were issued
.WeduwsJay afternoon at the rnstanre
of prominent farmers of the co(!o

appear before tht supcrlcr court at
the next tenu and answer to certain
eomplsiats and claims for damages
that the farmer will file on account
of the discharge of aewnge on and
near their lands situated about three
mil from the city, on Ellerbe creek.
Several more aummona will be Issued
this afternoon and there will be more
than a bslf doien suite claiming total
damages of from 115.000 to $20,000.
The suits grew out of the discharge
of sewage from the dliuosal p'aut
altuated on Kllerbe creek. From the
plant the sewage is discharged lii'o
the creek. There baa not be-a suf
ficient water la the creek to carry
tbe WMto away and It baa apread out
over tbe lowlanda along tbe creek
r-atlng a terrible stench and makln
tbe bottom land "along the creek un-
Giiltlvatable. The furmera claim that
the aewage has made life unbearable
and that unless the nuisance la abat
ed they will have to desert their
home. The farmers claim that the
trouble cornea about by raaon of de
tective operation of th disposal plant.
There are a number of septtu tsnka
connected with the plant which are
supposed to deodorlxe snd disinfect
the sewage. The farmers allege that
tbie lanka have not been In opera
tion for ame time and that this la
partly responsible for the trouble.

with the employment of Dr. H. H.

gave to tbe committee the most il
luminating information that has
been developed In tbe Investigation
row being made of the agricultural

He testified that he never received
the letter from Dr. Rushy which waa
used by the personnel board to prove
that he knew about the Rugby con
tract. He said that in isinc thl let
ter the personnel board had omitted
Its most er.vt.Ltlal'frilon. namely.
the statement by Dr. Kittbr that
We have agreed r.pott tbe following
arrangement as fair and satisfactory
If approved by the department
Dr. Wiley stated that Solicitor Mc-
Cabe held tbe decisive vote on tbe
bodrd of food and drug inspection.
When Dr. Wiley and Dr. Dunlap dis
agreed on question of chemistry It
was Solicitor Mct'abe who decided
whether a prosecution should be
made. In fully eaaes, said Dr.
Wiley, where be and Dr. liunlap had
voted together and Solicitor Mct'abe
had disagreed with them. Dr. Dun-
lap changed his vote to agree with
Mr. McCabe.
Did you ever appeal from these
decisions?" he was asked.
I found It was useless to appeal,"
said Dr. Wiley, "for the secretary In
variably upheld the decision of the
board."
In two rases he did appeal, he
added, where be thought public
health was "seriously menaced." one
of these Involve! the labeling of
gluten flour, the food of diabefe
patients. ' . - . . '
The board's-de tlon, he believed,
left physicians without sufficient In
formation as to the exact contents
ntid strength of the flour, In this
ctae the secretary upheld the board.
Tbe other case involved tbe lahel
Irg of fruits and fruit product

This subject Is now before the Kern

IT. Wiley left the agricultural de

to Ronton. Rrtseen that time and
4.30, when the department closed,
he said, a special meeting of the

was called, Dr. Dunlap acting a
chairman, and a declsloa was made
overruling the "thre secretaries"

As soon a lie returned to Wash

Mr. P. W. Vaughn.
Pres. Merchants' Association,
Durham,, X. C.
My Dear Mr. Vaughn :-
In connection with the movement
in this county for securing one of the
ten farm-life schools to be established
In tbe BUte, 1 would aay to you and
your association that you played your
part In bringing about this most con
structive piece of legislation. In my
judgment, which ha been enacted In
the past decade. For when you In
vited. In tbe farmers' national
congress to come to Durham aa
your guests to see your vast tobacco
industry, and Greensboro did the
same to show them her cotton mil la,
especially the largest weaving room
iu the world. In the Cone mill, which
Is too feet wide by loon In length, and
in sblch every square foot was filled
with humming machinery snd when
be progretative people of Washing
ton and Delhaven Invited thm Into
the east to see their agricultural, lum
bering and Ashing Industries 15 see
the reclamation of swamp Unit, snd
to visit one of the largest cooperage
staldlshnunt la the world, where
the standard Oil Company makes Its
barrels, at Belhaven these trip te
them an opportunity to tee the re
sources of North Carolina. What was
the result. Outside of the splendid
advertisement which tbo state re
ceived by having her resources ex
hibited to tbe leading farmer from
every section of the union, we fortu
nately had with us as our guest, the
secretary of agriculture of the I'nlted
States, Hon. James WlKion, who gave
out an Interview on his return to
Washington, relative ti bis trip. In
which he said that he was ain.iled at
the wonderful development of tbe
manufacturing Industry Iu North
Carolina; but that he was distressed
at the languishing condition of our
igrinilture, so different from what
It Is In bis own state of Iowa, and In
Illinois, Wisconsin and other states
where they have the farm-life schools.
Therefore, the Farmers union of
North Carolina,' an organisation of
40.000 farmers acting upon this in
terview, asked the legislature to pass
this bill.
So you Mr. President, that tb
good deeds of yourself snd your as-!
soi iates, your generous hospitality I
and wise fore-thought has led to this '
splendid result Yuu. then cast yonr
bread upon the waters. It m now re
turning ten-fold; ayr! a hundred-fold
inxrcaae for your community, If this
farm-life school is secured for the
county.
Very sincerely, the grateful friend of
your association,

miles from his starting point, Harry
X. Atwood, the Boston aviator who
Is attempting to break the world'
long distance aeroplane record by
flying from St. Louis to New York,
alighted In Toledo yesterday after
noon, after completing the third day
cf his trip with a spectacular flight
2,000 feet above the city.
He covered the 133 miles from
Elkhart, Ind., to Toledo 'vlth only
one stop and in an actual flying time
cf 2 hours and 56 minutes. He start
ed from Elkhart at 8.08 a. m., was
compelled to stop at Pettlsvllle, O.,
for 'more than live hours, because
he ran out of gasoline and continu
ing his journey, guided by tbe tracks;
the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railroad, he arrived at
Toledo at 4.02.
Between some of the stations At
wood beat the scheduled time for or
dinary trains. In the last lap of the
day's run, he whipped up such a
speed as hardly to be visible for
longer than a minute at any one
agle. The 33 miles from Pettlsville
Into Toledo wag run In 50 minutes.
including a delay for starting and
time lost in circling around the city
iu search of a landing place. His
arrival here was as exciting as was
his trip over Northern Indiana and
Ohio. Steam whistles and thousands
of people on top of office buildings
greeted him as be came in f m the
west. All tbe way in he had been
gliding "uphill" to get a good view of
tbe town, he said. Instead of alipht-
ng in the west end, he shot clear
over the city and landed near the
mouth of the Maumee river la the
eastern section.
Intense Interest marked bis prog
ress. When swooping low to read
tbe names of the railroad stations,
great crowds, Including f aimers who
had come In by automobile from
r iles aorund, frantically yelled for
htm to come down. Some bronrht
"bouquets and luncbes for the aviator
while policemen and municipal offi
cers abandoned tbe posts to join In
the ovation.

Threatens to Grow Serious if II
Is Not Settled
E WIFE
E
Becanse She Developed Tuberculosis;
And Now West Tllley Charges Her
Brother with Store Breaking The
Neighbors are Taking Side and
Feeling Is Knnulug High.
A neighborhood row Is raging vio
lently in the Pleasant Green neigh
borhood in Orai ge county on the bor
der of Durham county, a number of
miles northwest of the city, which
threatens to grow Into serious pro
portions. Tbe row grew out of a quarrel be
tween the family' of Frank Holloway
and West Tllley. a well known mer
chant of the section. West Tllley mar
ried the daughter of Holloway aeveral
years ro. After the marriage she de
veloped tuberculosis, and, according
to the story of the Holloway family,
Tilley drove her ignominously from
his home because she had contracted
the disease. It is alleged that be went
to Hillsboro one day, and told his Wife
that if she was in the house when be
returned he would kill her. She took
refuge at the house of her father
where she has remained since that
time.
This domestic trouble naturally
brought bad feeling between the Hol
loway and Tilley families. This feel
ing has broken out in a number of
waya recently, finally climaxing in
tbe arrest of Ollie and Arthur Hollo
way, sons of Frank Holloway and
brothers-in-law of Tilley, on war
rant sworn out by Tilley, who brings
a charge against the boys of a tore
breaking, alleged to have been com
mitted several years ago. Ollie Hol
loway waa tried before Magistrate
Skidmore Garrett Tuesday on tbe
charge. Tbe magistrate committed
Holloway to jail without bail and be
was taken to Hillsboro, where he la
now languishing in the county prison.
It is claimed by the Hollow-ays that
tbe magistrate is taking sides with
the Tilley family and that his act of
committing the Holloway boy to jail
without bait on tbe simple charge of
store breaking was an outrage. In
addition to tbis Arthur Holloway was
arrested Wednesday evening on the
same charge. Tbe trial of tbls case
is being held today at Hillsboro and
practically the whole neighborhood Is
attending the trhl.
