Ashe vile, Nov. 24. ? 1 The second chapter in the Investigation into tl*c alleged illicit traffic in liquor in Ashe v?q MP* Buncombe county was writ ten here this morning whenSuperior Court Judge Frank Carter, sitting as a committing magistrate, exploded a bomb by ordering the immediate ar rest of John H. Lange and Gay Green owners and proprietors of the Lan gren Hotel, and the Century Drug store, J. L. Alexander, proprietor of the Battery E*rk Hotel&nd J. Baylis, Hector, manager of, the Langren, to -gttther with one other man, Isadore Grant, colored, alleged agent of one of the first four named. The arrest fol lowed' immediately and the defen dants were placed under heavy bonds. These men are charged with sell ing whiskey directly or indirectly ai-4 a ii > of- them 'with aiding a ad abet-: ting in the traffic through their j agents. - ^ Three of t" ie defendants, Messrs Lange, Green and Alexander, we? a re quired by Judge Carter to furnish bon>l for their appearance from day to d ;v in the sum of $3,000 each. Mr Hector was required to furnish bond in the sum of $1,000, and * asimllar bond was named for the negro Grant. There was a warrant issued for Vance L. Wells, but he was reported by the officers to be out of the, city. ! The charges against him are similar" to those against Grant. Agaln3t John H. Lange there are two indictments including three counts. The first of the these counts is made under scetion 2, chapter 44 of the Public Laws of 1913, and charges the defendant with "seling, exchang ing, bartering, giving away for the I purpose of direct gain and otherwise' handling spirtuous, vinous and malt liquors In the State of North Caro lina." The second anil third counts charge that he "unlawfully, aided and abet- j ted the sale for gain of spirituous* vinous and malt liquors to John Doe, \ a person unknown to the affiant, i thereby becoming a principal to said sale." The same charges sire made ft gainst j Mr., Alexander. Gay Green and J. Baylis Hector, although there are 1 only two counts against each of these ! included in one indictment. Vance L. | Wells and Isadore Grant arc charged | with a direcet sale to a person "un- I known to the affiant. At the same . time thai the order I was issued for the arcat of these men Judge Carter Isued capiases ad testi- j ficandunV for Pete Sevier, W.

The Observer Uoes not- believe that the courtsNn tno South as a general tiling deal with the proper degree of severity in casesOt. pistol toting. Too often are the fines nierely nominal and in some instances the pistols are re turned to, or are secured in sonic man ner by the owners. There is a judge in New York who has a strenuous, but altogether commendable idea as to the way to break up pistol toting. A man who was' known to carry a pistol habitually and in defiance of the law, found himself face to face with this judge. He was rather paralyzed at the judgement of the court, which was fourteen years in the penitentiary at ; Sing Sing. The judge who imposed I thi3 sentence holds that the carrying of pistols is the greatest cause of mur- j der, and in his view of the crime and the remedy were to generally obtain, who will doubt that the habit would be soon broken up? It ought to put the courts, to thinking. The pistol j toteer needs to be more severely dealt with. The law has trifled with his care too long. ? Charlotte Observer. ! We thoroughly agree with you : brother. There are too many people who feel it a big thing to be able to I "tote a gun," whom the court should pay their rewpects to. We have no ticed for the past several years that there seemed tob e no trouble in get ting a conviction ? In fact they would p/cad guilty, and the result of the ver ! diet would be a small fine which ser ve 1 88 a license to violate this Ixxh poriant law, A better enforcement of this etatute, In oar own minds, would mean a great deal more safety to the public.

McMullen, wlio were arrested two weeks ago. when the in vestigation was launched, were called into court this morning to plead the charge against them of violating the prohibition law by making illegal sales under license held to sell intox icants on prescriptions. The only pleading, however, was made by ?'?*. Baldwin, the others being continued from day to day, the court stating the records of the busines of the other two places has not yet been complete?!. Mr. Baldwin, through his attorney. Judge Thomas A. Jones, agreed to plead guilty in a technical sense to the charges against him before a court of competent jurisdiction, to give .up his license to sell whiskey on prescription ship all the intoxicants in his place of of business back to the people from whom they were purchased, and to quit the business as long as the prohibi tion law remains in effect in Ashe vllle. in support olthis lie also agreed to furnish any bond that the court may deem necesary to show good faith In carrying out the agree- J ment. Judge Carter allowed this plea to be entered? The defendant wftt\?ed a preliminary hearing in making this i pica. The three defendants remain under ; the same boncjs ofl$l,000 each named : by Judge Carter when they were ar- ' rested. Co-opcrnlion in liu) hit? Farm .Ma chinery . I have had a. great deal of experl ence in joining in with neighbors to buy farm implements. 1 remember when we co-operated a great deal more than we do now in corn husking, choping, barn raising, log rollng and so on. whereeverythlng was done bycombined physical powers. ! But I consider much of that kind of co-operation a loss rather than a gain ' because it fostered the idea of man power rather than machine-power. | M(hether It pays to liny tools to- j gether^all depends on the cost, the j distance you live from your neighbor, j the use you are going to make of the tool, and the Intelligence of the neigh- j bor with whom you are co-operating. Generally I have found it very sat isfactory to join in with intelligent neighbors to buy a grain drill, mower, binder, cotton planter, corn planter, or hand mill. I now own jointly these Implements just mentioned with my sona-ln-law, who live, close by and hare telephone connection with us. We find It very satisfactory to own and use these Implements Jointly. - We ^o flnd it a good plan to work together In harvesting or at ahy oth er time, when there are seveTal hands needed. We use these tools only a few days in the year and it would not pay either of us to Invest his money In these things just for the time he would eed it on his own farm. I cannot af ord tO-ln*est$125 in a binder to cut y little crop of 15 to 20 acres of grain ut I can afford to invest in a one mrthinterest under the present con ions. ? I \ 1 do not think it would suit us to kvn a disk harrow or ridding cultiva lr jointly, because we could not make ?suitable arrangement about the use I them. We eeach need of out own. am anxious to se the time come |en our neighborhood can join in King pure-bred stock and many oth jthings. 1 am very hopeful that the ?phone one of tl.e greatest aids in work. We have that already. ? Sprott, in the Progressive Far l untitling .Telephones Cincinnati, ().. November 24. ? \ ice President T. C.

Successful co-operative marketing must be done through a stable organ ization. one in which the menibcps have morn at stake tljan their mere word. A corporation which does not pay dividentlK^on it-- stock is admirably adapu-.i for~*Th4*^Durpose as it takes away the incentivetci>*<ure control. The products must be jujiI uniformly packed at the platformBrwk the organization must stand behind its* pack. This insures marketale prod ducts. a longer shipping season and betei*prices. There must be efficient management, and Intelligent and hard work is nec cessary to securing and maintaining markets, as well as honest pack. The getting together does not amount to as much as the unifying of the products and Interests of the community. It will be far better for the com munity , If only one such organization be established at each shipping point. The competition is neded at the buyers end, not this 'shippers' end. ?

In the first place^ you need to stu* the soil with rotten manure and'thea fertilizer, heavily applied. To grow good head letuce, you must feed it heavily. For the fall crop I sow seed of the big.Loblou early in August and transplant to sixteen inched apart and eight inches in the rows Then it is important that it does not suffer from lack of water, and the best lettuce growers use the overhead watering, tl.e Skinner system. Tliea you can sow seed the middle of Septem her and get strong plants and set them in open furrows running cast and west as a winter protection. These will come cn for the early spring crop. Then in the early spring sow again for lcttuce to head in late April and May, which is as late as lettuce will he worth growing in your section. Wit-, frames and glass sashes you cam head lettuce all winter. ? W. F. Mussey, in the Progressive Farmer. ^'liarlotu* Is taking up the Ttntf ? tuberculosis work with great energy I this year.
