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

X \ The Man With, the I'i -li.i.
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.

Fir*t Arretted.
j Aslievile, Nov. 24. ? The three urug
r gists, Penrose Baldwin, D. McX. Mac
kav and F. H. 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. ?

work wilb egin as son as the lieces- i
sary material asembled.
The C. X. O .and T. P. has extend- 1
cm the telephone system over its line j
for the reason that its use has ben to |
-.urease Colli safety and facility in j

A corporation which does not pay

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

How to Grow Winter Lettuce.
Please tell me the best way to grow
Icituce in the open ground?"
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.
